Chapter 18

On the hillside two kilometers away from Nalong, Han Bei held up his binoculars and looked at the small village in the distance.He asked: "The temperature is a bit low, how many degrees?"

Wei Jingou said: "It's about thirteen or four degrees. Our thermometer is in the trunk, so it's hard to find."

"My Aoi-sensei has a thermometer function, let me see." Qiu Zhengxia raised his hand and opened his cuff, revealing a deformed assembled watch.

Han Bei asked: "You didn't wear this watch a few days ago, why did you change it?"

"There are many watches, so you look rich, understand?"

"What did you call it just now?"

"..."

Han Bei joked: "When you marry into a wealthy family, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and change the name to Xiaowanzi."

"How does Xiaowanzi have better qualities than Teacher Aoi?" Qiu Zhengxia asked him impatiently.

"Still talking?!"

"Okay, okay, Maruko." Qiu Zhengxia agreed accommodatingly, and randomly poked the small buttons of different sizes on the watch a few times, "Which one shows the temperature? Blue? Red? Eh...or yellow?"

When Han Bei saw numbers with unknown meanings constantly flashing on the screen of the watch, he couldn't help becoming suspicious, and secretly speculated: Mechanical assembly is Lynx's strong point, this guy...

"Bang!" The case shook, and a small part popped out from some gap, drawing a silver-white arc in mid-air, falling into the grass, and disappearing without a trace; Jump, the screen is blank, and no number can appear again no matter how much you toss.Qiu Zhengxia burst into tears and knocked on his assembled watch: "Maruko Aoi! What's wrong with you? Take heart—"

The corners of Han Bei's eyes twitched, and he turned his head: What am I thinking?

Going deep into the Nalong Mountains, there are gradually no roads, and the muddy and narrow mountain roads are difficult to walk. Driving is very reluctant, bumping carefully until the early morning.

At noon, Xiangdongtan asked to get off the car and rest for ten minutes, and boil some hot water for drinking.Except for Xiang Jiuru, a sick young man who was dragging his feet all the way, no one had such a demand, so Wei Jingou naturally didn't agree.As a result, Liu Lan started to have an itchy throat in the afternoon, fever and cough, and suffered from an acute cold. Xiang Dongtan gloated at his misfortune and advised him to drink more boiled water and less beverages.

Although Wei Jingou was greedy and domineering, he was good to his nephew. He suspected that it was the hands and feet of the Xiang family's master and apprentice, so he dared not speak out, and offered to take a break when everyone was yawning, and boil some hot soup with dry food.

Several people cooked a pot of instant seaweed soup around the small stove, chopped luncheon meat and threw it in. This is not a delicacy at all, but it looks extraordinarily hot and fragrant at this time.

Wei Jingou said he wanted to go to a higher place to see the situation, so he climbed up the hillside by himself with a flashlight and binoculars.Without the support of his uncle, Liu Lan was afraid of the master and apprentice of the Xiang family, squatting far away, chewing bread, wanting to drink soup, but dare not approach, like a poor fierce dog.

Han Bei felt a little sympathetic to him, and pleaded with Xiang Jiuru: "Liu Lan is not bad, but he is just a dog, don't poison him."

Xiang Jiuru laughed: "I really don't have any!" After finishing speaking, he filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Xiang Dongtan, "Bring it to Brother Liu Lan, he is afraid of you, don't bully him."

Xiang Dongtan took the bowl and said unconvinced: "Master, they were the ones who bullied us all the way!"

"Don't talk nonsense, learn from Master Han's demeanor, don't be as knowledgeable as them." Xiang Jiuru touched his head lovingly, and said slowly: "The ninth small bottle in the sixth row on the second floor, give him a medicine to reduce inflammation. Fever gone."

"Yes, Master."

Xiang Dongtan took out the medicine, but did not close the small sandalwood medicine box. Han Bei saw a small cloth roll of silver needles exposed under the half-open wooden lid. He wanted to see the needle roll, pretending to be innocently curious. , asked anxiously, "Master Xiang Duo, your box is quite interesting, can I have a look?"

Unexpectedly, Xiang Jiuru nodded generously: "Look, just don't mess up the arrangement of the medicine bottles."

The box was divided into several layers, and small porcelain vases of different colors were densely displayed. He didn't bother to look at it, so he opened the cloth roll and scanned it, but found no special needles.

Xiang Jiuru asked: "Master Han, are my acupuncture needles interesting?"

Han Bei calmly said, "No, I just remembered that you can save lives with a few needles. It's amazing! Are these needles specially made?"

"What is the mystery of acupuncture? To cure a disease, you need to pinpoint the acupuncture points and control the depth of the force."

Han Bei praised sincerely: "It's really amazing!"

"Young Master Han, you've won the prize." Xiang Jiuru glanced at the bruised blood between Han Bei's eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Master Han, please take a medicine from the No. 11 bottle in the sixth row on the second floor."

Han Bei thought that he was falling ill again, so he hurriedly opened the second layer, counted to No. 11 small porcelain bottles, opened the cork, and poured out a black pill the size of a mung bean.

Xiang Jiuru said: "This pill has the functions of removing stasis, invigorating blood circulation, relieving summer heat and clearing heat, here it is for you."

"Ah?" Han Bei was quite surprised, looking at the unattractive pill in his hand, wondering: "This, why is this so embarrassing?"

The smile on Xiang Jiuru's face didn't change, but there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "You took good care of me all the way, I just want to thank you, and I won't do any harm to you."

Han Beilue thought for a while, swallowed the medicine with the soup, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, Young Master Han, you can rest assured of me." Xiang Jiuru jokingly said, "Aside from thanking you, I still need to rely on you in many ways, and it's too late to protect you."

Han Bei didn't comment, but he smiled. He felt that Xiang Jiuru was full of doubts. This person was neither short of money, nor did he have the life to spend money to enjoy himself. This trip is definitely not for money, what is it for?

Qiu Zhengxia went to pee as soon as he got out of the car, but there was no one there. Han Bei flicked his flashlight around, and saw a small black figure jumping and jumping in the distance, as if picking wild fruits. The white bandage on his head was very conspicuous.Han Bei yelled a few times but failed to call him back, so he got up and planned to bring him back to drink soup, "Tsk, this guy is a monkey, right?"

Wei Jingou came down from the hillside, frowning deeply: "Young Master Han, logically speaking, we are still tens of kilometers away from reaching that natural village, but we don't see a single light in all directions, are we going the wrong way? "

Liu Zhen followed his words and asked: "Young Master Han, can you take a look at the map?"

Han Bei knew what they were planning, and asked indifferently: "It's past four o'clock in the morning. Turn on the lights at your house?"

"Some villages are very backward and have no electricity. Don't worry, Jingou, Master Han can't even look in the direction." Peng Kun smoothed things over: "Come, drink some hot soup."

Qiu Zhengxia was still dancing there, it was hard for him to dance for a wild fruit for so long, Han Bei was both funny and annoyed, picked up a few pieces of boiled luncheon meat, walked over quickly with a bowl in his hand, and cursed like a dog: "You You idiot! How can you be so greedy? Come back to me quickly! Ball ball! Swish, sip, sip, sip, sip, sip, sip...here is meat, look here!"

This walk, it took almost 3 minutes, and Qiu Zhengxia was right in front of him, so he couldn't get there no matter what.Han Bei noticed the abnormality, stopped, and looked back, he had already walked a long distance, and he couldn't make out the faces of the people by the small stove, he couldn't tell that the distance was so long!

Looking back, Qiu Zhengxia was gone!

Han Bei was startled, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief. The dog was squatting on the side of the dirt road with its back facing him. It must have picked wild fruits and was eating them with relish.

"Hey, there are some wild fruits in the mountains that are poisonous, don't eat them..." Han Bei walked up to him and saw the back of the man through the moonlight. He closed his mouth and held his breath. Gauze, dirty and torn clothes on his body, uneven skin on his exposed neck and arms - not Qiu Zhengxia!

The night was dark and the wind was high, and such a strange person suddenly appeared in the barren mountains and mountains. Han Bei was terrified. He took a few steps back and said, "Hey! Who are you?"

The other party turned back timidly, Han Bei was a little dazzled, he felt that the face was dark and blurred, and he couldn't find the facial features. He shone it with a flashlight and almost jumped up in shock!It was a bloody face, the eyes, nose, and mouth were all rotten, and a triangular eye radiated a lifeless and fierce light from under the rotten flesh.

Han Bei's legs softened, he staggered and stood still, and summoned up his courage to ask, "You... Ah, Amao?"

The man stretched out his hand to Han Bei, made a gesture of asking for help, and screamed dryly, "Ho Ho", his voice was hoarse and piercing, as if his vocal cords had been burned, and he couldn't make a clear tone.

"Amao!" Han Bei hurriedly leaned forward to help, his anger overwhelmed his fear: "Who made you like this? Why are you here?"

There were chaotic footsteps behind him, and Qiu Zhengxia shouted: "Han Bei! What's going on?"

Amao sprang up cleverly, and ran far away!

Han Bei dropped the bowl, chased after him, and shouted: "Amao! Don't be afraid! Stop!"

Ah Mao turned a deaf ear and ran for his life like crazy.

"Amao!" Han Bei was burning with anxiety, chasing and yelling, "We won't hurt you! Don't run!"

"Han Bei! Han Bei! Come back!" Qiu Zhengxia roared behind him: "Han Bei——"

Amao panicked and dodged into the bushes.Han Bei didn't have the time to explain to the people behind him. His eyes were fixed on Ah Mao's back, the wind was blowing under his feet, and branches hit his cheeks from time to time, so he couldn't take care of it.The front suddenly opened up, the scattered branches suddenly disappeared, and the empty black sky splashed in front of me - there was no way to go!Ahead is a cliff!

Qiu Zhengxia yelled hysterically: "Han Bei! Stop—"

Amao ran to the edge of the cliff, did not stop, jumped, and suddenly disappeared from sight.Han Bei threw himself forward, vainly trying to catch him, his body leaped into the air, a brute force behind him pulled him back, the whole body bounced back to the grass, he fell completely, and the world spun for a while.

Liu Lan and Qiu Zhengxia caught up with Han Bei just in the nick of time, and one of them grabbed half of his arm and dragged him back. Liu Lan didn't control the momentum well, slipped under his feet, slipped down a long way, yelled and climbed up again, barking: " What's going on? Why are you crazy?"

Qiu Zhengxia rushed up to hold Han Bei down, and asked hoarsely, "Beibei! What's wrong with you?"

Panting, Han Bei pointed at the cliff, "Amao! That man is Amao! He jumped off!"

"Which person? Why didn't you answer me when I called you?" Qiu Zhengxia leaned over and hugged Han Bei vigorously, trembling all over, even his voice trembled, "Don't scare me!"

Han Bei broke away and explained gesticulating: "I didn't have time to answer you! Didn't you see? A very thin man who runs like a monkey! In front of me..."

Wei Jingou, Peng Kun and others came one after another, looked at each other, and shook their heads slowly.Liu Lan picked up the flashlight and took a photo under the cliff, and said strangely: "Did you see a ghost?"

"You...haven't seen it?" Han Bei was dumbfounded. He was sweating just now, and when the cold wind blew, he had goosebumps all over his body.
