In the following time, the old man entertained us very warmly. Not only did he kill a chicken, but he also took down the bacon hanging from the eaves and gave us food and drink.

Li Qi and I haven't eaten meat for a long time. The old man came out with the bacon that he had prepared.

After a meal, the long-standing fatigue suddenly swept over the whole body, and Li Qi and I crowded together in the same room under the arrangement of the old man.

"My room is small, don't mind you two young people," said the old man.

I cupped my hands, and Li Xian responded, "Having a bed to sleep in is already very good, thank you senior."

Li Qi hurriedly followed me to thank the old man, then threw himself on the bed, fell asleep in less than 30 seconds, and snored loudly.

However, I was tired all over, and no amount of snoring could stop my drowsiness. As soon as the old man closed the door, I quickly lay down on the bed, closed my eyes and fell asleep, feeling extremely comfortable all over my body.

five in the morning.

Damn Li Qi, it's nothing more than snoring while sleeping, but he even touches people, I was directly woken up by this guy.

I rubbed my temples, stood by the bed, stared at Li Qi who was sound asleep, and said angrily, "Damn, this stuff is really poisonous!"

In desperation, I had no choice but to walk out of the room, go to the courtyard outside the stone house, twist my body a few times, and breathe the fresh air in the mountain by the way.

The sky is still gray, and the bamboo forest in front hinders the invasion of wild animals. Under the blowing of the mountain wind, it sways slightly and rustles, making it peaceful.

There is a bamboo forest in front of the stone house, backed by a mountain, like a paradise, even the old man's "pet" falls into a deep sleep in this comfort.

I lit a grass cigarette given by the old man, and the strong breath poured into my throat and directly into my lungs. I exhaled leisurely and murmured: "No wonder this senior is unwilling to contact the outside world. I really enjoy being here. A kind of life, just don't know when I can be like him."

Suddenly, there was a laugh behind him.

Turning around suddenly, the old man appeared in the door and walked towards me slowly.

Standing side by side, the old man stared at the front, lit a grass cigarette for himself, and asked, "Why? Do you want to be like the old man?"

"Yeah, I just don't know when I will be like my predecessors." I couldn't help but sigh.

The old man took several puffs of herbal cigarettes in a row, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and his expression revealed an unprecedented reminiscence.

Until the grass smoke was burned out, the old man stamped it out with his foot, and asked lightly, "Although I don't know what happened, but is your father okay?"

I had expected this, I was not surprised at all when the old man asked this question.

So, I nodded slightly, and replied: "It's okay, just like my predecessors, I don't get caught up in the world of mortals, I don't fight for fame and fortune, and I am willing to be an ordinary person."

"This...is not like his personality. A person like him is destined to cause a storm, how can he get out of it?" The old man's pupils contracted, very surprised.

I shook my head, "I don't know, but I dare to ask seniors, what kind of person do you think my father is?"

"None in a million..." The old man suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and laughed a few times meaningfully.

I turned sideways, arched my hands, and Li Xian said, "I also ask senior to give me some advice. In fact, this junior is not very clear about my father's affairs."

"Since he didn't tell you, he must have done it on purpose, so what's the point of me telling you? If you want to know, then go find out for yourself. Some things require strength to know. Now you , too weak."

As the old man talked, he slowly raised his hand and pointed in one direction, "Start from here, walk around the edge of the bamboo forest, and head southeast. Within three days, you can climb over a few mountains along the way and walk out of the mountains. There's only so much I can tell you."

If I continued to ask, there would be no results, so I thanked the old man and went back to the stone house to wake Li Qi up.

Li Qi obviously didn't get enough sleep. He was very upset when I woke him up early in the morning, and kept complaining, "What are you doing? It's still early, so sleep a little longer."

I raised my hand and knocked on Li Qi's forehead, cursing: "Sleep, sleep, do you still want to leave? If you don't want to leave, just stay here, I'll go first!"

"Okay, I'll just get up, what's the rush? How about... have breakfast before leaving?" Li Qi got up decisively, put on his clothes, and was still thinking about the bacon and chicken.

I couldn't help the corners of my mouth twitching, and I gave Li Qi a vicious look, "Eat, eat, eat, what else can you do besides eating, drinking, and sleeping? It's already very good that people entertain us for a night, and you want to trouble him?"

However, the old man still treated us to breakfast, and then stood under the eaves, led the tiger, and watched us leave...

After walking around the bamboo forest for half a day, and climbing several mountains in three days, it was as the old man said, not far from the edge of the mountain range, and if it was a shortcut, he could even see the outline of a small town.

Walking out of the mountains and stepping on a dusty country road, the townspeople passing by on motorcycles looked at us as if they were watching nerves.

"Damn, these clothes are tattered, like a beggar on the side of the road." Li Qi felt ashamed, as if he had no face to face others.

I urged: "We must respect the wishes of that senior. He doesn't want to have contact with the outside world, so we don't want to tell others."

"Damn, do you think I'm stupid?" Li Qi gave me a blank look.

I patted my forehead speechlessly, and immediately walked to the village, thinking that Li Qi, you are an idiot...

Entering the township, dust was flying everywhere, and many townspeople rode motorcycles and shuttled back and forth.

As for me and Li Qi, the clothes were shabby and dilapidated, like crazy, I quickly found a country clothing store, and took Li Qi to change.

In the end, Li Qi was still not satisfied with this product, his face was full of reluctance, and his mouth was full of complaints, "What kind of clothes are these? Thirty yuan a piece? Is this clothes? My foot wipes are worth more than this!"

Hearing this, the landlady's expression changed.

I was not happy at the time, and immediately scolded: "What are you yelling about? If you don't wear it, you take it off, what a yell, 30 yuan is not clothes? Why don't you go to heaven if you are so stupid?"

"Let me just say, why are you so serious?" Li Qi was scolded by me for being stupid, but he didn't dare not wear it, his face turned blue and red, as if he was ashamed.

I secretly made a gesture to the proprietress, pointing to my head, implying that there was something wrong with Li Qi's head, and told the proprietress not to worry about it.

When paying the bill, I gave some extra money, but I didn't expect the proprietress to be so simple that she didn't want extra money.

So I forced it to the proprietress and said, "Madam proprietress, if you have more, you can take it. Do you have a phone number here? If you have any, can you call me? These are the rewards, how about it?"

After thinking for a while, the proprietress agreed and took Li Qi and me to the depths of the store.

It wasn't until she came to a dilapidated landline that the proprietress stopped and said, "Our communication here is not good, and few people have mobile phones, and they all use landlines. You can just make the calls, and you can just come out when you're done. "

"Thank you." I said thank you.

"Well, it's okay." The proprietress believed me very much, and walked back to the store after she finished speaking, and continued to solicit business.

Without further ado, I picked up the landline and immediately dialed Ning Xing's number, thinking that she would be in a panic after I had been missing for so many days.

Li Qi seemed to know that I was calling Ning Xing's number, so he snatched the phone immediately and prevented me from taking it back. I couldn't snatch it no matter what.

He also said: "Me first! I also want to call Ning Xing, so you just wait! This time I must sue Ning Xing and tell you how shameless you are!"
