Thousand Lantern Night

Because of the rare romance of Poker-Face, I was so excited that night that I let Poker-Face turn over and over and toss all night.I don't know when I fell asleep.Probably because I was too excited, I dreamed again when I fell asleep. I dreamed that I ran back and forth hundreds of times in the same place, which made me as tired as a dog.

Thinking of dogs, I suddenly remembered, oh, Xiaobai!

I stood up in panic, but found that Poker Bottle was not by my side.Almost an instinctive reaction, I jumped out of bed and ran out the door, this bastard, won't he leave me again!No wonder it was courting all night last night!

So when I bumped into Boyouping head-on in the corridor, I looked like this: I was only wearing a monk's long cloth shirt, barefoot, and no underwear.He looked like a monkey rushing to catch the rape.

Poker bottle was a little surprised to see me like this, "Wu Xie, what are you doing?"

The valiant aura just now disappeared for some reason, and I suddenly felt an unprecedented, uh, shame.

Yes, shame.If you think it's very funny for a guy who is [-] and three thick to be shy, please feel free to make up your mind.Anyway, it was only at this time that I felt embarrassingly that my lower body was really flying freely, and my heart was so cold.I still don't know how to explain it to Poker Bottle.

Without saying a word, he came up and carried me on his shoulders.Going back to the room, he fell directly on the bed, and then took out a dog who was blowing his nose and bubbles while sleeping—Xiao Bai from his clothes pocket.

I was very surprised and asked him where he came from.Poker bottle said, the person who came to pick the door last night picked it up outside the door this morning.He put Xiaobai in my hand and said, you like it.

I am very grateful for Pokerfing's magnanimity, I took a bite out of his face and gestured, I still like you.

His eyebrows twitched, "Which one is more?"

I pointed at Xiaobai.Poker-Face smiled lightly, reached out and ran his hand through my hair, "As long as you're happy." Then he asked, "Are you still sleeping?"

I shook my head, I was more tired from sleeping than not sleeping, so I stopped sleeping.

Then he said, "We're leaving."

I paused and asked, is there any news from Xiao Hua?He shook his head, put his thumb on my throat, and rubbed it lightly, "Go to Fenglingdu."

Poker-Face has always been the kind of person who can't hear sadness or joy when he speaks. When he said this, his tone was as indifferent as usual, but I seemed to hear his insistence that it was imperative.I suddenly remembered that when I chased him in the snow-capped mountains and was nearly blind, he also told me firmly and briefly, you will see.If you can't see it, I'll let you see it.

Right now, of course, he's worrying about me not being able to speak.

Then Pone Youping told me that he heard from people in the monastery that there was a village at Fenglingdu on the Yellow River, and the residents lived a long life.If the people there are seriously ill, they will find a special wizard.Wizards use certain rituals to bring people into the water, and when they come up, the patient is as if he was born again and healed of all diseases.

I imagined that I was going to chat with the monk about the news, and I felt that this person was amazing in my heart.Obviously he has facial paralysis, but when it comes time to use his acting skills, he really learns who he looks like.It seems that the Zhang family's acting skills are also a compulsory course.

But what he said was too mysterious.I waved my hand and gestured: wizards are fools, who knows if he brought a dog with him and a cat with him?

Poker-face was very serious, "Wu Xie, promise me, try it once." What he said next made me dispel the idea of ​​refusing.He said: "Not only for you, but also for me. Wu Xie, don't make me feel sorry."

When he said that, I couldn't help it.In fact, Boyoufeng still knows me very well, he knows that what I can't bear the most is to drag him down.If he felt sorry that I couldn't speak, then I had to find a way to solve it.Thinking about it again, Xiaohua said before that the clue to the fishtail ring started from Longmen Ferry on the Yellow River. Since it is in one direction, we should go to Fenglingdu first, and then go to Longmen after receiving Xiaohua's assembly number.

So we picked it up and hit the road.First, I rented an ox cart to go out of the mountain, took a small black car to Jiuquan Station, and then took a car to Fenglingdu.In fact, the person who gave Poker Ping the news didn't know the name of the village where the wizard was. He only knew that everyone in that village had the surname Feng.They never intermarry with people of other surnames, it is all settled within their own clan.

I thought to myself, if there are thousands of years of inbreeding, if the villagers there are not all extremely wise men who can destroy the world with crooked brains, then the village will be full of idiots with smirks.The surname Feng is really a good surname, the whole village is like crazy.

We struggled for a few days and finally arrived at Fenglingdu.What the hell is that Fenglingdu is now a tourist area, we went around and went around, and there is no such thing as the legendary Fengling Village.Fortunately, I bought a few packs of cigarettes when I was backing up in Xi’an. At this time, I went to pass a pack of packs to the staff in the tourist area. Poker Bottle instantly entered the role of "graduate student of archeology at Northwest University" and communicated with the staff. The historical and cultural background of the tourist area.

I didn't expect this guy in his fifties to be a pseudo school. Apart from saying "Our ferry can be traced back to the beginning of the ancient Three Emperors", he couldn't tell who the Three Emperors were.In the twitching expression that I couldn't hide more and more, the guy finally disarmed and surrendered.He smiled and told us that there is an old man named Zamba at this ferry, who is over a hundred years old.

I gave him the last pack of cigarettes, and he told us where Zamba was.

Without further ado, Poker-Face and I set off for the village immediately.

The village is still in the upper reaches of the ferry, and I compared it with the map given by that guy. Fenglingdu is at a relatively gentle place after the Yellow River turns east, while Zamba’s village is just at the bend of the Yellow River with the largest flow of water. The most dangerous place.That village is called Xiwang Village.

The farther you are from Fenglingdu, the more primitive the environment is. In some places, you can't even find the road, and you need to walk through the dense forest.Poker bottle cleared the way ahead, and I followed behind.Despite this, the big leaves on both sides kept slapping my face and body. When we got out of the forest in disgrace, we found that it was already dark.

There is not even a street lamp in the wilderness, and there are only groups of black shadows crawling in the downhill bushes in the dark, and a few black shadows reveal firelight.Looking at the people that a village should have.

Poker-Face and I stopped to communicate for a while, and decided to pretend to be a lost traveler and find someone to stay.Then you can inquire about the news without any trace.

We nodded to each other and acted according to plan.

It was very dark at night, and the muddy ground into the village was covered with dead leaves, which made a sound when stepped on.The more we walked in, the more we felt that the whole village was very quiet, and we couldn't hear any sound at all.The sound of the wind, the sound of birds and beasts, there is no sound at all, and there is a dead atmosphere.I looked forward, how did I feel that the fire lights in the east and west of the village looked like two glowing eyes, and the blackness in the middle looked like a big mouth, and the road we walked was like a dragged out. tongue.

In the darkness, Pokerfing's hand stretched out to grab mine, as if he also intuitively sensed something strange here.He said, "Remember to stay by my side no matter what happens." I squeezed his hand back harder.

We found a nearby house with lights, and the door was answered by a little boy, about ten years old.Hearing that we were going to stay overnight, we slammed the door shut.We were in a daze, and came and opened again, beckoning us to go in.

The oldest in the family is a young man in his early twenties named De Lai.The other seven or eight children, male and female, ranged from teenagers to four or five years old.Poker bottle explained our purpose of coming, and De Lai asked the eldest sister to get us something to eat.Tell us you can sleep for one night, but you have to leave the next day.

It is not difficult to see from De Lai's attitude that they seem to be very resistant to strangers, and they are a little cautious.In this way, we can only find out Zamba tonight.

Pokerfing continued to pretend to be a graduate student in the Department of Archeology of Northwest University, saying that we came here because we heard about an old ferryman named Zamba and wanted to interview him to learn about the history and culture of Fenglingdu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Drey waved his hand suddenly, and the boy who answered the door just now suddenly blew a whistle hanging around his neck.The whistling sound is as thin as a needle, piercing into one's ear, penetrating in, and crawling into the brain again, causing the scalp to tingle.

Before we could react, we heard a loud noise outside, which suddenly surrounded the Dreyer's house.The whistle boy opened the door, stared at us coldly and said, "Get out!"

The fire outside the house was brightly lit, and there were many people standing in the dark.They are all young and strong men, a few of them hold torches, and most of them hold various weapons.In the firelight, I could only see the expressionless faces. Only the fierce eyes in the eyes could tell that I couldn't make an appointment tonight.

In the room, Delai and his siblings also took up weapons, and Poker bottle grabbed me and walked out slowly.The muscles of his whole body were tense, ready to go, but he still tried his best to keep calm. If he could retreat completely, conflict was obviously not the best way to solve the problem.

Drey stood in the doorway, pointed at me with one hand, and said, "He's a mute! They're coming for Zamba!"

I was choked up, and suddenly felt the grief and indignation of people with disabilities being despised.Don't fall into my hands, brat, I won't beat you to death!

A person from the crowd stood up and sneered and said, "I knew you had other goals! I've seen students in the Department of Archeology, all of whom are ashamed, and they don't know how to deal with people. You two? You look so pale, Also archeology!"

I saw it, donkey egg!It was actually the manager of the tourist area during the day!I can't see that he still has a heart, and he secretly poked us under the hood!What he said is full of discrimination!Those who can rely on their face to eat can't speak with their strength!What logic!besides!Dead donkey protein eats two packs of cigarettes for me!

Poker-Face reached out his hand and made a gesture of peace. Just as he was about to speak, some of them shouted, "Don't talk nonsense with them! The motto of the Shouling clan: Anyone with a foreign surname trespassing in Fengling will die!"
