"Is there really that small town?" I couldn't help but sigh. I don't know why the picture in the story always appeared in my mind. The yellow sand filled the sky, the setting sun was like blood, and Lin Jianguo walked alone in the deserted town. , this should be the sequelae of reading too many martial arts novels, but it always feels wonderful to be able to go to the places in the story.
"There is that small town. It did not suffer any disaster. Does this tell you the ending of the story? You won't get any clues by simply going to that small town. You have to find someone. He His name is Liu Weijun, and he is the ultimate source of my information. Unfortunately, I have not met him in person. He is very defensive, and I always feel that there are more secrets about him." Uncle Ge said this. We spoke.
"Liu Weijun?" I muttered subconsciously, and then I thought of someone sensitively and looked up at Uncle Ge.
Uncle Ge nodded at me and said: "Yes, this Liu Weijun is the youngest son of Master Liu in the story. I searched for clues and found out that the only person who knew about the whole incident was his youngest son. His other family members They don’t even know about this, and... his younger son’s condition doesn’t seem to be very good. I don’t know exactly what’s wrong, so you have to go and do it yourself.”
"Uncle Ge, won't you go with us for a while?" Brother Chengxin leaned on the edge of the cabin, glanced at the autumn drizzle outside the window that seemed to never stop, and couldn't help but ask.
I understand what Brother Chengxin means. Maybe we haven’t gotten over the heartache of losing Uncle Johnny, and we always feel that we need an older person by our side to feel at ease.
But Uncle Ge shook his head and said: "You also understand that although you seem to be free, in fact there are always a lot of people watching you. It is probably no secret that I have come to your boat for this trip. Next, There will definitely be many people looking for me, or investigating what news I gave you based on some clues about my previous itinerary! In order to avoid these troubles, I have to continue to 'disappear', just wait, you can find a place, even if it is Put me ashore in the wilderness, and I will naturally have a solution. I won't show up until you really find Guidawan."
"If we can't find Guidawan, won't you have to disappear for the rest of your life?" Brother Chengqing, who was standing aside, finally said something out of worry.
"Hahaha... Do you know? I always miss the way Lao Jiang looked when he was young. It seems that there is nothing in the world that can trouble him or make him sad. There is no more upright man than this! Such a man. It’s hard not to believe it. Similarly, I also believe that you little guys won’t let me disappear for too long.” When Uncle Ge said this, he smiled so heartily, as if he really recalled those years. During the years he spent with my master, he showed no worries or burdens and gave us great trust.
After all, it was impossible for us to put Uncle Ge somewhere in the wilderness. Instead, we found a relatively remote place, but not far from several small villages, and put Uncle Ge off the boat.
When we waved goodbye, Uncle Ge walked very gracefully, but after walking more than ten meters, he suddenly turned back, ran a few steps towards us, looked at me standing on the edge of the deck and said: " Chengyi, remember to bring that guy Lao Jiang back.”
I don't know why, but when I heard this sentence, I suddenly felt a little sour in my heart. Looking at Uncle Ge's eyes full of hope, I nodded solemnly.
Master, are you really suffering in Guidawan
The drizzle of autumn is falling, and Uncle Ge's back has gradually faded away. The Dream has also restarted and continues to drift on a certain section of the Yellow River. But this time, it has a specific destination. Uncle Ge is here. Before getting off the boat, he told us the specific location of the town. From the map, we can definitely go there by water.
After all, compared with taking the land route, the terrain determines that the monitoring of the water route is much less. Although it cannot be completely avoided, at least we can strive for a certain time difference in the time of news dissemination.
---------Dividing line---------
More than ten days later, the Dream finally docked at a small port that looked a little dilapidated. There were also some small cargo ships and wooden fishing boats parked here. The whole port had an inexplicable bleak atmosphere. .
It is said that places with ports should be somewhat prosperous, but such a dilapidated port is really rare.
After handling some trivial matters of stopping the boat, Ruyue, Brother Chengxin and I got off the boat first. After a while, others also got off the boat one after another. They chose to stay together in twos and threes and move around freely.
The first reason for doing this is that Uncle Ge told us that Liu Weijun is very defensive. I think too many of us went to him, and we might not even get a chance to talk. We don't have Uncle Ge's ability. Even if we don't meet, we can still get some information from other places.
As for the second point, if the personnel are dispersed, it will have a certain cover for our actions. At least those who get the information to monitor will not be able to find the focus for a while.
The place where the port is located is a small county and city. Walking here in a hurry, I found that this place is very poor. It may be considered the poorest among the more than 100 county-level administrative districts in China. The feeling of the entire county is not as good as some of the larger towns I have seen. No wonder the port here has a desolate and dilapidated feel.
The town that Uncle Ge told us belongs to this county. I can probably outline what kind of town it is.
The transportation in the county is not very developed. Even though it was morning, we didn't buy a ticket to that town. We had to hire a very dilapidated minibus at a high price to go to that town.
Although the roads are in bad condition and the dilapidated car is "suspected" of being knocked apart, I still feel comfortable after living on the water for too long. After all, humans are creatures suitable for staying on land. If you go too long, you will miss the land from the bottom of your heart.
Looking out from the car window, this is a typical northwest scenery. The yellow in the eyes has an indescribable sense of vicissitudes. Although it lacks the beauty of green, it is still shocking.
After spending some time in the Northwest, I have always believed that a man must visit the Northwest in his lifetime, because the vicissitudes and thickness, including the sky full of wind and sand, should be the scenery in a man's eyes... Even if it is barren, it still has its own heaviness. This is a quality that men should appreciate from the scenery of the Northwest.
Don't lose the true nature of a man for the sake of so-called power and wealth.
There were too many messy thoughts, and the car bumped all the way to the destination. It took a full two hours... When Kisaragi got off the car, he was so shaken that he couldn't vomit anything.
"The road ahead is not easy to walk. No one has repaired it for half a year. Even if you take a bus, it can only take you to this place. But it's not far. You can walk along this road for another half an hour. You can see the town. There are not many people in the town. The only ones left are the old people and the young people have gone out to work. Are you here for tourism? Why did you choose this town? It’s not very picturesque.” The driver was very enthusiastic. , while counting the fare we gave him, we briefly introduced the town. There were no superfluous adjectives, but I could feel that the town was declining and entering its twilight years, a kind of sadness.
When I looked up, I could feel the remoteness of this town. It was surrounded by undulating loess slopes on all sides. If it weren't for the main road of the Yellow River flowing through here, I think it would be difficult to form a town here.
After bidding farewell to this enthusiastic driver, we had no other choice but to walk along this dilapidated road. After only walking for a short time, we felt that our saliva was full of fine dust. Fortunately, After turning a bend against the mountain, we saw the town at the foot of the hillside and the Yellow River rushing past the town.
But I don’t know why, I just stood on this hillside and took a look at this town, and my heart suddenly felt a bit heavy. I can’t describe that kind of atmosphere. I’m afraid it takes Cheng Zhen, who is familiar with Zi Mai, to specifically describe the atmosphere that enveloped a town. The breath, but I can feel that the breath is a kind of lifeless breath, which gives people a very bad feeling.
Exploring the source of this dead energy, I suddenly saw a large arc-shaped retracted place at the corner of the town. The color of that place can only be described as simple gray and yellow.
"How can a town have a dead energy? And be affected to this extent?" I frowned, thinking that it would be great if Chengzhen was here. After all, I can't tell anything with my shallow knowledge of Feng Shui, but I always know that a place, including a village, town, county, or city, has its own Feng Shui spirit. If the Feng Shui spirit declines, sooner or later the place will also decline.
Recalling what the driver said, I think the impact of broken Feng Shui is also one of them.
"This town gives people a bad feeling." Looking at the houses below, even Ru Yue noticed it.
I didn't speak, but Brother Chengxin adjusted his glasses and said, "Forget it, let's not delve into this anymore, let's go down first and talk about it later."
