Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 106 But do good things, don't ask about the future

Huang Daxian, formerly known as Huang Shangyuan, is a Miao nationality. Thirty years ago, he traveled to the northwest with Mr. Chao'an to explore the relics of the Silk Road.

However, due to some accident, they finally parted ways and no longer contacted each other.

What happened here? Mr. Wang is unwilling to say more, and I dare not ask. I only know about the general scope and area of ​​"Farewell Island".

In addition, he warned me not to mention his name in front of Huang Daxian, not to say a word.

Because as long as I say it, it is likely to bring me bad encounters.

After saying this, his complexion suddenly became very bad, and he couldn't stop yawning. I knew he couldn't bear it anymore, so I hurriedly left.

The old man who was about to fall asleep suddenly opened his eyes and stopped me.

He said: "Hou Zi, no matter what you say, night walkers always go against the sky, and the road is bumpy. If you set off tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up, so I'll give you a word."

I bowed and said please speak.

Mr. Wang opened his mouth, and slowly said eight big characters: "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future."

When I heard it, my whole body was shocked, and I felt enlightened, and the pores all over my body opened.

Afterwards, I bowed long and said, "I have been taught."

That night, I went to visit the two uncles Li and Liu again, and then chatted with Xiao Zhonghuang for a while before falling asleep.

I had nothing to say all night, so I got up early the next day, said goodbye to Xiao Zhonghuang and went down the mountain.

The mountain road was rugged and winding, and it was already past ten o'clock when I reached the bottom of the mountain. I rushed to the guest house where Chu Xiaotu lived. From a distance, I saw her standing at the intersection, looking towards the way she came.

At that time, the sun slanted down from the east, and the golden light fell on her oval-shaped beautiful face. Even if we were far away, I could still feel the sweet smile on her face and the tenderness in her eyes. full of anticipation.

This feeling of being expected made me suddenly have the illusion of a heart thumping at a certain moment.

I lost myself a little, shook my head almost subconsciously, put aside all distracting thoughts in my mind, then took a deep breath, walked in front of Chu Xiaotu, and said, "Let's go."

Chu Xiaotu looked at me and asked where to go?

I said go to Xiangxi.

She stared at me with bright eyes, and said excitedly, "Do you know where Farewell Island is?"

I hesitated for a moment, not telling the truth: "Probably, just follow me."

I walked towards the station, Chu Xiaotu followed me, and asked as she walked: "You can't lie to me, you know? I didn't sleep well last night, and there were mosquitoes buzzing around in the room all the time. annoying……"

I smiled wryly and said that if I lied to you, why would I still come to you?

The two chatted while walking, walked together, took a car to the train station, and prepared to go to Crane City, an important road in western Hunan.

Crane City is located in the transition zone from the hills in central Hunan to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It has been known as the "Gateway of Guizhou and Yunnan" and "The Throat of Chu" since ancient times. Walking, it is the Miaojiang area in the traditional sense, which is the gateway to Shiwan Dashan.

Needless to say, the quarrels and jokes with Chu Xiaotu along the way, after getting off the train, I bought a map at a small shop near the train station and studied it carefully.

Then I went to the post office in the urban area and lingered for a long time where mobile phones were sold.

However, when I went home earlier, I gave [-] to my mother, and lent [-] to Fa Erpang, plus the expenses of running around for the past few days.

Chu Xiaotu looked at my tangled expression and asked me, "Want to buy?"

I nodded and said yes.

She was very surprised and said that the signal in this ghost place is terrible, if you go a little further to the countryside, there will be no signal, why do you buy it?
I said when buying an insurance.

Chu Xiaotu stared at me for a while, then took out a small mobile phone from her pocket.

I stared at the phone for a long time before I said, "Do you have a phone?"

Chu Xiaotu gave me a blank look, talking nonsense, I don't have this thing, how can I communicate with grandma?

I hesitated for a moment, and said that there is a call fee in it?
Chu Xiaotu said of course.

I said to lend it to me, Chu Xiaotu didn't refuse, nodded and agreed, then I took the phone over and called Ma Yi'ao's cell phone, but I still couldn't get through.

This matter made me a little depressed, and I dialed it several times in a row, and it was the same.

When I returned the mobile phone to Chu Xiaotu, she smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said to me: "I told you, this thing is not hard enough to be used as a brick in the countryside, you call That person is probably squatting in that mountain den."

I sighed and said okay, but let’s hold it, remember to charge it, and don’t drop the chain at a critical moment.

The two of us were walking around the city, and I found a small shop that specializes in casserole rice for dinner.

The casserole rice of this restaurant looks small and greasy, but there are surprisingly many customers. We also lined up for more than ten minutes. The sausages dotted on the table, as well as a few dishes of stir-fry, all make people's index fingers move and their appetites whet.

In order to take care of the vegetarian bunny, I specially ordered two vegetarian dishes and casserole rice without sausage for her.

This thoughtful gesture moved her very much.

And Chu Xiaotu's way of repaying me was also very straightforward, eating six bowls of casserole rice in one sitting, which made the boss almost overwhelmed.

I saw her wolfing down, and couldn't help saying, "Slow down, it's like being reincarnated as a hungry ghost?"

Chu Xiaotu glared at me and said, you don't know, I didn't eat last night - the oil there was wrong, there was a smell of sewer, I vomited after eating it, my stomach was growling long ago.

I laughed and said it's okay, you follow me, not afraid that there will be no delicious food.

Chu Xiaotu said, why do you have such research on food? There are so many shops, but this one is chosen, it's delicious.

I said it was, you don’t know, I used to have a dream, which was to open a restaurant, so I was very strict about food, whenever I went to a place, I would choose the restaurant with the most local characteristics to eat, and then remember the taste , Learn a lot, thinking about whether you can make it.

Chu Xiaotu's eyes were full of confidence, and she said wow, isn't your cooking delicious?
I'm very proud of it, yes, I have the opportunity to let you taste it, and I'm sure you'll swallow it with your tongue.

Hearing my words, Chu Xiaotu looked forward to it.

So she ate three more bowls.

In the evening, I took Chu Xiaotu, who was full of food and yelled to eat more, to leave. The two caught up with the last bus to a county in the west. Incomparable, and then someone coughed continuously in front of me, making me a little pale.

And Chu Xiaotu almost vomited because he ate too much at night.

At that time, the roads were not very good. The national roads were all tattered and swayed all the way. At ten o'clock in the evening, I finally came to a small town.

When we got out of the car, Chu Xiaotu took a few steps, and then he couldn't do it anymore, lying on the ridge of the field not far away and vomited.

I bought water on the way, and when she was almost vomiting, I walked over, patted her on the back, and handed her the water to rinse her mouth.

Chu Xiaotu rinsed her mouth, managed to recover, and said to me, "Where are we going?"

I said to go to a place called Cuomu Village.

Chu Xiaotu asked again: "Then what are we going to do?"

I said meet up with a friend of mine.

"Does he know where Farewell Island is?"

"No, he doesn't know, but if you want to find Farewell Island, you have to find him, otherwise it's useless for anyone to come."

"What do you mean? Can you explain clearly before you act? I feel like a fool, wandering around with you."

"You don't have to follow."

"Fool, I knew that you bastard, from beginning to end, just wanted to get rid of me, hmph, it's just not as you wish."

……

The two were noisy and didn't enter the town. Instead, they walked along the road, turned before the hillside, and started walking along the path towards the mountain.

I still remember the scene at that time - the moonlight was hanging high somewhere above my head, and the white moonlight was falling on the ground like water. Chu Xiaotu bit her pursed lips, and then looked innocently at I, as if there was fog in my eye sockets, felt very wronged.

At that night, the moon was also beautiful, and the people were also beautiful.

I don't know why, but I have an urge to follow this little lively girl and keep going.

However, such a beautiful feeling was finally defeated by the twists and turns of the mountain road.

The farther you go into the mountains, the more rugged the road is, probably because of a shower of rain. It was okay at first, but the further you go, the more muddy the mountain road is. Sometimes you accidentally step on the muddy puddle Inside, when you pull it out, your feet are full of mud, which makes people upset.

But this situation is only for me, going deep into the forest, Chu Xiaotu is as dexterous as a monkey, walking up and down, every time he can avoid the mud pit and walk on the haystack.

I was still leading the way at first, but then I had to let her go in front, and I followed behind.

It was so unanimous until after three o'clock in the morning, we finally came to a village shrouded in darkness, and this village was small in scale, at a glance, there were only a dozen or so families, and all the houses were wooden houses and stilted buildings. The original ecological look.

I was a little excited and almost fell several times when going downhill.

Then I came to the sixth house from the bottom of the village and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock...

After knocking twice like this, a lazy human voice came from inside: "Which one is it?"

I respectfully replied: "'Eternal romance is here today, thousands of miles of fame and fame will not rest, three mountains and five mountains will become one, and subduing demons and demons are friends', junior Hou Mo, meet the seniors of the alliance."
