immortal

Chapter 34

He led me down the mountain by another road, which was completely in two directions from our wooden shed. After he said that I was Wu Xie, he didn't say a word, as if the mute button was pressed.In the end, Xu was impatient with my question, so he answered: "Are you hungry?"

I touched my face in embarrassment.Turning to ask him what to do with the fat man, he only replied flatly: "Don't think about it."

Don't think about it... But I can't think about it, if I didn't see what happened to his wound with my own eyes, I would still feel that he was lying to me.However, seeing everything that was completely unreasonable with his own eyes, he didn't have much trouble in his heart.Accepted all this as if it was a matter of course.

At this moment, the person who subverted my world view was chopping firewood in the yard, and I was squatting at the door of the kitchen with a bowl in my hand, watching him while eating.

He took me around a river ditch. There were several farmhouses in the valley. We happened to catch up. The mountain people only had two meals a day. At this moment, the green smoke was curling up, and it was time for meals.The mountain people are simple and enthusiastic, but I searched all over my body and found no dime, so I became a veritable beggar.

The rough porcelain bowl was full of sticky potato rice. I didn't even say no, but I put some back into the pot. The old lady brought out another plate of pickled peppers for me to eat. I didn't even say no, but Zhang Qiling said: "It's in the mountains. The humidity is heavy, you eat a little."

I looked up at him, and picked up two chili peppers and put them into the bowl.

We shared the bowl of rice.He chopped the firewood and stacked them neatly under the eaves before turning around and saying goodbye to his master.

When I went out, I asked him: "Do you come here often?"

He tilted his head, and then replied: "Occasionally." After a while, he said, "Sometimes I will bring some wild game..."

I looked back and saw that the two old men were still standing hunched over at the door. "Really?" I smiled and said, "They don't look like they know you..."

He only said the second half of the sentence: "...throw it in the yard while it's dark."

I stayed where I was for a long time, pondering over his two words over and over again, the taste in my mouth was unbearably bitter.He walked for a while, saw that I didn't move, and didn't urge me, just stood quietly in front of me and waited for me, just like he often did when he first found me.

this person……

I took a deep breath, followed him a few steps, and asked casually, "Have you been looking for me for a long time?" He ignored him after calling him several times, as if he fled in despair.

I'm not my parents' son at all, and my memories are fake, and the only person who knows my past and can tell me the truth is a smug bottler.I thought wildly all the way, and it was going to be dark when I got back to our wooden shed.There were waves of pines in the forest, and the road under my feet was already unclear. I walked towards the bright place with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and suddenly felt a sense of going home.

It was only after entering the door that the fat man was not there.And Zhang Qiling was sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire, he didn't turn his head when he saw me enter the door, he only heard the crackling sound of the firewood being burned for a while, I scooped up a ladle of water in front of the water tank and poured it with my head up, then turned to look at him again.

And he stared at the stove with deep eyes, with a look of ecstasy.I know he doesn't want to say it, but now that I'm with him, I can speak slowly, so I didn't bother to ask for an answer right away, but when I walked to the bed, I suddenly found that my bag was missing .

Although there is nothing valuable in the bag, but the basic equipment is still there, and my wallet, ID card and driver's license are still stuffed in the interlayer, how can I say nothing is gone?There was a thief in this house?

I rummaged around the house again, but there was nothing to find, the wooden shed was just such a big place.In the end, I had no choice but to stand in front of him and ask with a serious face, "What about my bag?"

Half of his face was a little red from the fire, he looked up at me, and silently pointed to the kang.But there was only my sleeping bag.I suddenly thought of something, and asked him, "Where's the fat man?"

He finally stood up, patted the ashes on his hands, went to the water tank to scoop up water to wash his face, and said, "Let's go."

"Gone?" I asked back, "Where did you go?"

He said, "Go back."

gone back? "Where did you go?"

He paused while taking off his coat, and turned his face away, as if he was a little puzzled why I would ask such a stupid question, "Where did I come from?" Seeing that I was still standing there stupidly, he said again: " You want to go too?"

"I...why should I go..." I muttered, my face turned a little red, thinking in my heart that the fat man slipped away without saying hello to me, when did he become so obedient? "Are we... just staying?" I asked again unwillingly.

He responded lightly.

I have to admit, at that moment, I really felt very relieved.So he didn't care about the fat man sneaking away in a daze.After he finished his simple washing, he walked to the top of the kang and sat down, looked up at me who was still stuck in the middle of the room, and patted the edge of the kang.

"Come here." He said in a deep voice.
