My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Uncle San glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Is your face more important, or is your life more important?"

Although Uncle San was harsh in his words, he eventually revealed the secret of the stone to Hao Xie.

"It is an ancient evil weapon that can absorb a person's essence and spirit, transforming it into evil and murderous energy. It is an outright disaster. This thing is so evil that it has long been banned. For hundreds of years, I have never seen any record of it."

Although Hao Xie had expected this, he still couldn't help but tremble when he heard his uncle's personal confirmation. Such a terrible thing was right next to him... and the disaster it might bring would be devastating.

"This thing should have been extinct, but it suddenly appeared. And you looked so serious when you told me about this. I knew this must have been difficult for you. To be honest, I'm worried that this thing will bring you disaster, so I hope you stay away from it and its owner. Do you hear me?"

Hao Xie finally got the answer he wanted, but he pretended to be stubborn.

"Didn't hear that clearly."

"you--!"

"Uncle San, you know my temper. I won't cry until I see the coffin. You always say this thing is dangerous, I want to see how dangerous it is. Besides, this thing belongs to my friend. I can't just stand by and watch my friend in trouble."

The Third Uncle punched Hao Xie on the shoulder and glared at him: "You little bastard, do you know what you are talking about!"

"Uncle San, I know what I'm talking about. I'm no longer the kid who only gets into trouble. I now have Fatty, Brother, and Zhang Hao. And the owner of this stone is our new partner, Han Shan, who is a very capable person. Although his life experience is a mystery and he has lost his memory, he is kind by nature."

"Being with them is much better than being in this circle and getting anxious and jumping up and down at the slightest disturbance. Although this is also the life I want, compared with my friends, none of this is important."

Uncle San and Hao Xie were both stubborn, and they wouldn't talk to each other for two or three years after a quarrel. If they wanted to reconcile, they had to wait for the right opportunity.

According to his previous temper, they would probably not talk for a long time after this quarrel. But this time, Uncle San did not drive him out directly like before. Instead, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and pulled Hao Xie to sit on the sofa.

"Listen to me, this thing is unusual. It has only appeared three times in history books, and each time it was accompanied by bloodshed and heavy costs. I don't want you to get involved. This time there is no room for negotiation."

"I know there is no room for negotiation, so I am not here to discuss it with you."

Hao Xie stood up and pushed his uncle back onto the sofa. “I came back this time to find out the whereabouts and origin of this stone. Now I know that this thing is more dangerous than I thought. But I am not afraid because I have my companions by my side.”

The Third Uncle stared at Hao Xie straightly, as if he had a lot to say, but was afraid that he would curse as soon as he opened his mouth. He and Hao Xie had a fierce argument, and finally they had a falling out.

Hao Xie continued, "Another thing is... Even though I know all this, I still decided to go. This means that I am ready to embark on a dangerous road. Just like you said before, you won't cry until you see the coffin, and you won't give up until you see the Yellow River. Even if I fall into the Yellow River in the next moment, or am stuffed into a coffin, my friends will save me. Don't worry about this, they are all reliable people."

This was Hao Xie's gentlest tone ever, but it was also his most resolute and irrefutable attitude.

At this moment, Uncle San seemed to see his younger self in Hao Xie's eyes.

If it were him back then, he would probably say the same thing. Thinking of this, Uncle San suddenly became clear.

This child has had his own ideas since he was young. If I insist on keeping him in a greenhouse, it will only be a restriction on him.

After a long while, Uncle San's tense face finally relaxed, and he finally spoke: "If you really need me, remember to come to me, don't force yourself. This is not the time to be stubborn."

When Hao Xie heard this, he knew that the matter was settled, and immediately rushed over and gave his uncle a hug.

Since he grew up, he seldom treated his uncle so closely. His uncle felt a little uncomfortable, but his heart was warm. His hands were suspended in the air, not knowing whether to pat him or push away this young man who was taller than him.

Fortunately, Hao Xie’s hug was only short-lived.

"But then again, Third Uncle, don't you hate people meddling in other people's business? This matter has nothing to do with you. Do you really want to intervene? It could be very dangerous."

Uncle San glared at him and said, "You are my nephew, closer than my own son. How can I ignore you?"

Hao Xie smiled: "Uncle San, I am serious too. Don't worry, I won't get to the point where I need your help. Of course, if you are lonely, I can still chat with you."

As he spoke, Hao Xie knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to his uncle respectfully: "I don't know how long it will take me to come back this time, so I kowtow to you first, as a sign of my filial piety. Wait for me to come back."

The Third Uncle didn't say anything, he just turned around, waved, and then went back to his room. Although he didn't say anything, Hao Xie could feel the Third Uncle's emotions.

He looked up at the sky, took a few deep breaths, and then walked away with the stone. The stone was cool in his hand, but soon warmed by the warmth of his palm.

Isn't it just a stone? Isn't it just a bit of bad luck? He Haoxie has never been afraid of these things!

At a barbecue stand on the street in the mountain city, smoke and fire were everywhere. The big men were shirtless, holding beer bottles, calling each other brother and brother, and playing rock-paper-scissors with their arms around each other. The women sat aside, eating skewers in a charming manner, and even wiped their mouths of saliva gracefully with tissues because of the spiciness. Of course, there were also strong women who joined the men.

At the table on the far left of the barbecue stall, there were a few men dressed strangely. They were wearing jackets, combat boots, and backpacks beside them. Except for a fat man, everyone else was covered in dust, as if they had just come from far away.

"Brothers, stop looking so stern and drink. It's my fault for calling you here suddenly! I'll punish myself by drinking a glass of beer first!" Fatty Wang drank a glass of beer by himself, but didn't feel satisfied, so he drank most of it from the bottle in one breath and burped loudly.

A brother next to him patted his knee and said, "What happened to you? You called us in a tone like you were leaving your last wishes, saying that you must have a barbecue with us again before you die. I was still in the middle of the fight, and you crawled out immediately!"

The others also nodded. Fatty Wang was surrounded by several people's gazes, but he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, he laughed and opened a few more bottles of wine.

"I'm happy to see all the brothers here! It means I, Fatty, still have some status in your hearts! It's worth dying for to have you brothers in my life!"

"You started talking nonsense when you were drunk, right?" The thin man sitting opposite also drank a glass of wine, "Come, follow me, I'm a good fighter. I always told you to be careful in the past. This time, no matter how much stuff you bring, I don't care... Don't talk to us in that tone again."

The people at the table were all Wang Pangzi's brothers who had been through thick and thin with him. They knew that Wang Pangzi was usually a talkative person, and if he asked them to have a drink and a meal with him in this tone when he was free, they would definitely ignore him.

But Fatty Wang knew that they were busy recently, but he still called them over, which meant that Fatty Wang really had something to do. No matter what he was doing, it must be something extraordinary to force the daring Fatty Wang to make arrangements for his funeral in advance.

"Don't do dangerous work, just follow me." said another man with a goatee.

"Hey, hey, hey! I've been through so many hardships for so many years, and I've never been treated like a woman! I'm braver than the sky, what am I afraid of?! The job I'm doing now is a bit dangerous, but it won't kill me! I just think I might be busy, so I have to eat with you guys earlier! What are you guys thinking?" Although Fatty Wang explained this, the people around him still caught the sadness that flashed across his eyes. This fat guy with a frivolous mouth seemed to really be saying goodbye in this way!
Everyone raised their glasses silently, toasted the fat man, and then lowered their heads to eat the skewers. The fat man looked at everyone's silence, smiled and hooked his shoulder and said, "Brothers, don't be so dull! I'm not dead yet, and you're mourning for me in advance?"

The man with the goatee laughed and cursed, "Go away! I won't watch if you die!" The others also laughed and cursed a few words.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, but none of them revealed what was hidden behind their smiles.

Zhang Qilin stepped onto this wet land, and the air was filled with a familiar smell. However, he had forgotten many things, and even if he walked here, the memories he could capture were only fragments.

The door of the ancestral hall was closed. Zhang Qilin wanted to push the door open, but after thinking about it, he kowtowed at the door and said softly, "I will complete the mission. Apart from that, please don't worry about me."

After saying that, he turned and left.

-

The atmosphere in the inn had been depressing for several days. Although Zhang Hao didn't say anything, he was obviously depressed since the three men left.

He always looked out the door in deep thought, and couldn't even concentrate on his work. The last time he went out, he was almost attacked. Han Shan was very worried about his condition, so he temporarily took on all the work in the inn, either going out to drive the corpses or staying at home to watch over Zhang Hao.

"If they don't come back, I will definitely help you..." Han Shan just finished speaking, and then felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, so he quickly added: "Even if they don't come back, I will help you. Maybe this matter was originally caused by me..."

"If it was because of you, they wouldn't have thrown you in front of me. You are just a pawn. I'm sorry to have made you worry about my condition these two days." Zhang Hao said.

"But your condition is really too low..." Han San said worriedly.

Just as he finished speaking, a chuckle came from outside the door: "I said, how come you two have become so haggard after not seeing each other for a few days?"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Hao looked up suddenly. It turned out that Hao Xie had returned. He was carrying a large suitcase, and he didn't bring so many things when he left. His face was filled with a bright smile, as if he had dealt with all his worries and felt relaxed.

Han Shan rushed over, picked up the suitcase and went upstairs, fearing that Hao Xie would run away again.

Zhang Hao looked at Hao Xie and said solemnly, "Do you know what coming back this time means?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago. This time I'm going back just to say hello to my third uncle and my family. I say, that's enough! Why are two grown men being so long-winded?" Hao Xie said with a smile.

Zhang Hao nodded slightly, and all his words were melted into a smile.

"Why are you guys all standing here?" A slightly frivolous voice came, and you could tell it was Fatty Wang without even looking.

Fatty Wang bought a combat suit from somewhere. The leather jacket was shiny and he also wore a pair of big black sunglasses. He looked ridiculous no matter how you looked at him.

Seeing Zhang Hao's eyes fixed on his clothes, the fat man shook his clothes and said, "How is it? I brought one for each of you! Do I love you very much?"

Hao Xie quickly raised his hand to refuse, and Zhang Hao also said, "No need!"

Zhang Qilin came back in the evening, and Hao Xie was the only one in the lobby. He was looking through the documents of the past few days, and when he saw Zhang Qilin coming back, he was stunned at first, then smiled with relief and pointed upstairs.

Although nothing was said, Zhang Qilin knew what he meant based on years of tacit understanding - he should go upstairs to check on Zhang Hao first and reassure him.

Zhang Qilin went upstairs and knocked on Zhang Hao's door: "Are you asleep?"

Within two seconds, the sound of running was heard from inside, and then the door was opened.

After seeing the person coming, Zhang Hao smiled and nodded: "I haven't slept yet, did you just get here?"

"Well, I came over to say hello to you first, and then go take a rest. The inn should be very busy during the few days we are away, and we have to get back to work as soon as possible." Zhang Qilin said.

"There's no need to be so anxious. Go and rest first." Zhang Hao said.

"it is good."

It took no more than seven days for all three of them to be present.

After Zhang Hao closed the door, he leaned against it, covered his eyes with his hands, and took a few deep breaths before his breathing calmed down.

Finally... they've arrived.

From this moment on, Zhang Hao seemed to have a sense of belonging to this world. He knew that in the past, he just muddled through life here and completed the system's tasks.

But now, he felt that a sense of belonging could really calm his restless heart. At least he no longer had to worry about fighting alone in the future.

Zhang Hao rested for two or three days before he felt his condition had improved slightly.

That day, as soon as he went downstairs, he saw Hao Xie saying to a girl with difficulty: "Your situation is really beyond our jurisdiction. Why don't you go find someone else? We are a corpse-driving inn here."

"But I really don't know anyone else. Apart from you, I don't know who else I can go to... Can you please help me? I know that the shopkeeper here is very capable--"

Before the girl finished her words, she saw Zhang Hao and quickly stood up and ran towards him.

"Can you please help me?" the girl pleaded.

Hao Xie wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Zhang Hao.

"It's okay, go do something else first, I know this girl." Zhang Hao said. (End of this chapter)
