Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

After walking for a day, Qin Yuchen finally saw a small village at the foot of a mountain. Why do you say small? Because at a glance, there were only a dozen or so households.

The house is a thatched or mud house, only one story high. When Qin Yuchen walked into the village, he found that there were not many people. Some women and old people were walking in groups, and some were sitting in the courtyard chatting about household matters. He didn't panic when he saw strangers entering the village, as if he was used to it. As for the man, except for a few figures passing by him with a hoe, no one else was seen.

Qin Yuchen couldn't say what was wrong, but he always felt that there was something strange here. There were no poultry in the yard surrounded by bamboo poles, and there were no vegetable fields around. The man passing by him walked very lightly and steadily, and he could feel that he had a foundation in martial arts.

"Young man, where are you going?" An old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties walked towards him with a cane and a staggering look.

Qin Yuchen hid his thoughts and smiled gently, looking harmless: "I want to go to Qinghai, but it's my first time leaving home and I don't know how to get there."

"Why are you going to Qinghai?" the old man asked again.

"Go to relatives." Qin Yuchen said with a confused look on his face, as if he had something to hide, "In my family... I am the only one left. I can't live in the mountains anymore, so I thought about having an uncle in Qinghai. I can find a job with him so I can support myself."

The old man nodded as if he understood, and stared at Qin Yuchen with a pair of cloudy eyes unblinkingly. After staring for a long time, he raised his finger and pointed to the opposite road: "Go that way and you will reach the main road. We are in a remote place. If you can’t get a ride, try your luck on the main road.”

"Okay, thank you grandpa." Tan Yuchen looked happy, thanked the old man, turned and left the village.

The old man squinted his eyes and stared at the two long bars on the back of the retreating figure for a long time, then walked in the other direction with his cane. [Why did you leave? 】007's face was full of curiosity. It originally thought that the host could finally have a good night's rest, but it never thought that Qin Yuchen would leave.

"That's not right." Qin Yuchen said, "Several of the men I met inside have practiced, and I don't know how many more there are. Those old men and women are probably just covering up. Our main purpose at the moment is the mission you mentioned. They shouldn't be able to If you leave so quickly, it won’t be too late to come back and visit after saving someone.”

[Then let’s wait for the bus on the road? What you acted just now is really like that. I always thought you didn't like to talk. 】

"...Depends on the situation." Qin Yuchen felt that it was better to pretend than to take action at that time. After all, the enemy is hidden and we are clear, and there are too many uncertain factors, so he would not know the enemy's number and strength without knowing it. Taking action rashly. As for talking, it’s not that I don’t like to talk, but sometimes it’s not necessary to speak so clearly. Not everything has consequences because of the reason, and no one likes to listen to so much nonsense or complaining.

The two of them were standing on the road waiting for the bus while talking. After waiting for almost an hour, I finally saw a car approaching from a distance.

The car stopped in front of him, and the dust raised made Qin Yuchen take several steps back, lowered his head and coughed a few times.

The driver's window rolled down, and a laughing voice said: "Where are you going, little brother? Blind man, do you want me to give you a lift?"

Tan Yuchen was silent and looked up.

The man put one hand on the car window and the other on the steering wheel. He has a smile on his face, and sunglasses that cover half of his face. His hair is slightly long, and he looks handsome, but he looks a bit ungrateful.

"Qinghai."

"Hey, what a coincidence. I'm also going to Qinghai. Do you want to hitchhike? For the sake of meeting you for the first time, I'll give you a [-]% discount. It's only five hundred. How about it?" Hei Xiazi leisurely opened the passenger door. Car door, "What's your name, little brother? My last name is Qi, you can call me Black Glasses or Black Blind Man."

"...Tin Yuchen." Tan Yuchen sighed and sighed that this person's name is really special.

Then he took out five hundred and handed it to the black blind man, walked around the front and got into the car. That money was prepared for him by 007, otherwise he would really have to go to Qinghai. But to be honest, with current prices, five hundred is considered a sky-high price.

The blind man took the money and checked the authenticity carefully, and his smile became even brighter: "The boss is very generous~ Sit tight, let's go."

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and "darted" out.

"Little boss, why are you going to Qinghai? Little boss, are you in need of bodyguards? I am very powerful as a blind man. I can protect you. The price is still [-]% off, only [-]. Do you want to consider it?" Since Tan Yuchen got in the car , Heixiazi kept talking. He either asked how old he was or where he lived. Those who didn’t know thought they were checking their household registration.

"Don't believe it, little boss. I can beat a blind man one against two. I'm very powerful. If you hire me as a bodyguard, you can't afford to lose, and you can't afford to be fooled~"

"...No, thank you." Tan Yuchen was speechless. He couldn't understand why this person could talk so well, and it was all nonsense.

The blind man was always smiling. His right index finger was tapping on the steering wheel, and his left hand was resting on the car window: "Don't be so polite. For a kind-hearted person like me, everything is based on the boss."

Tan Yuchen took off the knife and folded his hands in front of his chest. He gave a faint hum as an answer, and then began to close his eyes and rest.

The blind man was not annoyed. He glanced sideways at Qin Yuchen. His black hair was a little messy in the wind. His beautiful red phoenix eyes were tightly closed, covering his eyes that looked like stars. His eyelashes were long and curly, and there was a small eyelash on the left corner of his eye. A mole. The nose is high and the thin lips are lightly pink. Because he was sleeping, his chin was hidden in a jacket that was zipped to the top. The sharp edges that usually seemed softened now.

The child looks quite good-looking. The black blind man thought so, and then he hummed a melody and said nothing more.

Gansu is not very far from Qinghai, but in this era of underdeveloped transportation, self-driving still takes a lot of time, so Heixiazi drove very fast.

Night came quickly in the mountains, and after a few hours of driving, it was completely dark.

Heixiazi stopped the car, glanced at Tan Yuchen in the passenger seat, and found that he had no intention of opening his eyes, so he got out of the car alone and went to the trunk to get food for the night.

"Little boss, it's time to eat." Hei Xiazi sat back in the passenger seat with two lunch boxes, approached Tan Yuchen, and called in a low voice.

Qin Yuchen frowned and opened his eyes.

The blind man stood up with a smile, raised the lunch box in his hand, and asked, "Boss, do you want to spend it?"

"how much is it?"

The black blind man smiled and said that the boss was really wise, and then made a gesture with his hands: "It's not expensive, just a hundred."

Qin Yuchen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said in an irritated voice, "You can just grab it."

"Blind man, I'm a good person, I won't steal money~" The black blind man shook his head seriously and stuffed the lunch box into his arms, "Fried rice with green pepper and shredded pork, you deserve it."

"..."

In the end, the blind man didn't get what he wanted, because Qin Yuchen took out the bread and water from his backpack, silently turned it aside, and left the blind man with the back of his head. It was obvious that he didn't want to communicate.

The black blind man smiled and complained a few words aggrievedly: "Does the little boss really have the heart to reject me, the blind man? If not, I can do it at fifty. The fried rice is delicious. Do you really want to try it?"

"...don't taste it."

"The little boss is so heartless." The black blind man wiped the non-existent tears on his face in grievance, and then opened a box of fried rice.

Qin Yuchen finally couldn't hold it back, rolled his eyes at the car window and stopped talking.

After eating, he asked: "Shall I drive?"

The black blind man mixed the fried rice and said, "Does the little boss care about me? But I can still do it, blind man. Don't worry, little boss."

"..." Tan Yuchen felt that he deserved to ask more. He looked at the sunglasses on the man's face and was silent for a few seconds, "Why are you called a blind man if you are not blind?"

The smile on the blind man's face froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "I have some minor problems, so I called him blind just to suit the occasion."

Tan Yuchen didn't notice anything strange about him and was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. This was someone's privacy, and the two of them had only known each other for a few hours, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

In the end, Qin Yuchen took over from Heixiazi and continued towards Qinghai. Heixiazi was looking at the two knives in the co-pilot and asked:

"Where did these two knives come from, little boss? Do you mind letting me, the blind man, take a look?"

"It's passed down from our ancestors, don't mind." Tan Yuchen said.

"Don't be so stingy, little boss! We are all so familiar with each other, so let me see the blind man." The eyes under the black blind man's sunglasses moved from the knife to Qin Yuchen, with a hint of inquiry, but his tone was full of smiles. .

"Not familiar." Qin Yuchen stepped on the accelerator, and the black blind man hit his head directly on the cushion with the inertia. He hissed and said, "The little boss has a pretty bad temper."

The blind man didn't hear the reply and received a blank look from the other party. The black blind man chuckled softly and adjusted his glasses so that he could lean more comfortably: "Okay, okay, blind man, I just don't want to see, little boss, drive slowly, driving too fast at night will be dangerous, blind man, I Just rest first~”

The surroundings finally quieted down, and Tan Yuchen put down his speed. The mountain road at night was really not suitable for racing, not to mention that he was not familiar with the road conditions. If he didn't have 007's navigation in his mind, he wouldn't have proposed to drive instead.

The co-pilot's breathing was steady and he looked like he was asleep, but his tense body told Qin Yuchen that he was in a light sleep. The word "danger" is a subconscious reaction when seeing the black blind man for the first time. Through contact, these two words are further confirmed. The black blind man always had a smile on his face, and his eyes covered by sunglasses couldn't see his emotions, so it was hard to tell whether it was true or false. He also seemed to be saying some insignificant words between the lines, but the things that should be asked about were pretty good, but Qin Yuchen didn't buy it, and acted like he was unfamiliar and didn't know who you were, so he didn't let the blind man hear what he was thinking. Listen.

The two of them have eight hundred tricks in total, and they won't let anyone go. Of course, one died of being a talker and the other died of being ignored.
