Twenty Years of Corpse Hunting in The Yellow River

Chapter 257: farmer

I guessed that the one-eyed thought was a temporary thought, but I couldn't ask him, and he wouldn't say it.

The Zhuguangbao Air Coffin took the three of us along the waterway. This time the road should be very far away. After leaving this deserted beach, One-Eyed tried to drive at night as much as possible, so as not to be seen during the day. In this way, I walked out at night for six or seven days, but still did not reach the destination.

These six or seven days have passed, and I also want to understand in my heart. Now I have so much idleness with One-Eyed, but I can't find it for myself. Even if I die of anger, One-Eyed will not lose a single hair. So, I also calmed down.

"You have been delayed for so long, but you can't meet the people from Qidaowan and Sanwangshan." I slanted my eyes and looked at Cyclops, and said, "They are still waiting for your antidote."

"What is their life and death to me?" One-eyed doesn't seem to care about the life and death of those people at all: "Tell them to wait."

"It's been six or seven days. You don't plan to tell me where you are going, who are you going to find, and what are you going to fetch?"

"The place is coming soon. If I arrive, I will naturally tell you." One-eyed thought for a while and said: "I have a few words, but I want to explain it to you."

"what?"

"The person you're looking for is about sixty years old, tall and thin, with a bitter melon look. He won't cry or laugh all his life, as if everyone owes him something." One-eyed thought for a while. Then he said: "When you see him, don't talk so much nonsense, just tell him: I'm here, give me the beads."

"Bead? What kind of bead?" I pretended to be confused, but actually wanted to put the one-eyed words out a little bit.

"You don't need to worry about the beads. When you see that person, just do as I say."

"What you said is too simple." I snorted and said, "I saw you, people know me? Know who I am? Give me something after you just say it?"

"He will give it to you." One-eyed said for a long time, his tone suddenly sharpened again, and he couldn't help holding Bai Le beside him: "If you are playing tricks, just wait for him to collect the body!"

Bai Le said nothing, but looked at me pitifully. I sighed secretly from the bottom of my heart. When I met this incident, I wanted to save Bai Le. Who knew that the worse it got, the more complicated it got.

I can't believe in One-Eyed. I don't think he is a person who does what he says. Even if I do things according to his instructions, after the things are done, will he let us go

It's just that I don't have the qualifications and room for bargaining. In any case, I can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor and try it.

One-Eyed took us for two more days, and then, the Pearlescent Treasure Air Coffin landed. One-eyed stretched out his hand and pointed towards the east side of the river beach, and said, "Go straight ahead, and there is only one way. Just walk. There will be a valley in the middle. There is no way to that valley. You have to find a way and wait for you to pass. After leaving the valley, continue to the east, and there is a pine forest. The depths of the pine forest are where the man lives."

There is no doubt that the person one-eyed said is also living in seclusion in the mountains. I can guess that such reclusive people are generally capable or have weird temperaments.

One-eyed wanted a bead, and he knew who was holding the bead, but he didn't take it by himself. This shows what

NS

Although One-Eyed didn't dare to stay away from the river and go to the mountain to find that person, I could still vaguely notice that he seemed a little taboo towards that person.

After the one-eyed confession, I asked if I remembered it. I nodded, one-eyed still worried, and said, "Tell me again."

"Keep walking through the valley, and then head east, a pine forest, and the man is in the pine forest." I repeated impatiently: "When I saw the man, I said I'm here and give me the beads."

"Yeah." One-eyed nodded, but, in a blink of an eye, the expression that made me gritted his teeth was revealed, pointing to Bai Le next to him, and said: "I will remind you one last time, if you want his life, just be honest. ."

I jumped out of the Pearlescent Treasure Air Coffin. After so many days, my injury could not be healed so quickly, and there was no medicine, it was no better than before, and I was still lacking energy. However, for Bai Le's life, I can only swallow my anger.

"Go, I'll take this boy with the surname Bai and wait for you here."

I walked towards the east side of the river beach step by step. After walking a long way, I looked back. One-eyed stood upright in the jewel-like gas coffin, like a piece of wood, seeming to be watching me.

One-eyed said it was very easy, just keep walking forward, but when I walked into that deep mountain, I knew how difficult it was to walk. This is a mountainous area where few people set foot, and there is almost no road in sight, so I can only try my best to find a relatively flat place to walk. I have been walking for two days before I saw a valley.

There is no road in the valley. I walked along the valley for a long time before I found a more suitable place and climbed down. Then I climbed from the bottom of the valley to the other side. My energy was exhausted and I had to rest for a long time after climbing. Anyway, exhausted and out of breath, only then crossed this valley.

After crossing the valley, I walked east for a long time. When I crossed a small hill, I stood on the top of the hill, and I could see a pine forest in the distance. It was a big pine forest. When I saw the pine forest, my legs seemed to be limp and I couldn't walk anymore, but I was relieved. Seeing this piece of pine forest means that you have arrived at your destination.

When I came down from the hill, I saw that beside the pine forest, there seemed to be some cultivated mountain land with some crops. I slowly walked into the pine forest, and when I was looking for the hut in the depths of the pine forest, my heart began to go up and down.

I suspected that One-Eyed didn't dare to provoke this person, so calling me here would undoubtedly force me to take the chestnut out of the fire for him. One-eyed only said how to answer to the other person after seeing this person, but didn't tell me what to do when I was in danger.

I have a bad hunch, but at this point, if I go back the same way, I feel sorry not only for Bai Le, but also for myself.

With a sense of anxiety, I still didn't give up. Anyway, I have become like this, so I can only take one step at a time.

In the depths of the pine forest, there are indeed a few small thatched huts. The hut is very simple and simple. Like many houses in the river beach countryside, it is a house built with weeds and mud. It often leaks and collapses when it is exposed to water.

Around the hut, a fence was built with branches. When I walked near the fence, I planned to carefully observe it. But then I thought about it, I still need it in my current state

What is cautious, as long as others want to deal with me, I definitely have no strength to fight back. So, I just let go, walked up to the fence gate and shouted.

No one was seen in the yard, and no response was heard. I don't know if there is anyone in this room, let alone if they are not at home, or if they heard my shout but didn't want to answer. I heard people say that people who live in the deep mountains are basically tired or disgusted with the world. They can keep themselves in such a desolate place and live for decades. One can imagine their temperament. How weird.

I yelled again, but no one answered. At this time, I was really tired and sat beside the fence gate.

After resting for about half an hour, when I just stood up, a person came from the pine forest. This person was dressed as a farmer, carrying a hoe, and wearing a straw hat that he woven.

He is about sixty years old, tall and thin, with a face as if frozen, without a trace of expression. Looking at him, I feel that this farmer fits the one-eyed narrative very well, and most of them are the people who one-eyed asked me to find.

I saw the farmer, and the farmer saw me, his footsteps stopped and he stood there. He didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say.

The farmer walked to the front, slowly put down the hoe in his hand, looked at me, and said, "You are here."

"I'm here." As soon as I heard the other party's question directly, I wanted to say more about asking for beads, but before I could speak, the farmer said again.

"This time, what are you going to do?"

When he said this, I was dizzy. Before the one-eyed came, he only confessed to me those two sentences, and said nothing. I also thought that as long as I met this person and said in a few words, I just took the beads. However, when the farmer said something else, I suddenly didn't know how to speak up.

At the same time, there was a strange feeling tumbling in my heart. Judging from the farmer's expression and tone, he definitely knew me, but after searching all my memories, I couldn't remember where I saw this farmer.

It was at this moment that I suddenly learned the true purpose of One-Eyed. When One-Eyed first saw me, he thought I was another person, but later he realized that he had admitted wrong. Perhaps it was for this reason that One-Eyed suddenly remembered that I was impersonating that person and came over to the farmer to ask for something.

It may be a bit late to realize this now. This step has been reached, only to bite the bullet and put on it.

"I..." I paused and said, "I'll get the beads. Give me the beads."

"That bead has always been there. To me, it's like rubbish. You can take it away anytime you want." The farmer dragged his hoe and opened the fence door, and said, "Come in and sit. "

The farmer did look the same as One-Eyed had said, his expressionless face, and his face looked like petrified, but his tone was calm and gentle, and he could not hear any hostility. I followed him into the yard and sat on a stool made from a tree stump. The farmer put down his hoe and walked into a hut by himself. Soon, he walked out with a small box.

"The bead is here." The farmer glanced at me, gently placed the box on the wooden table, and said, "You take it away."
