How come the key is on the bear's back?

As long as you think about it for a moment, you can come up with the answer to this question.

Before Li Banfeng entered the door, he threw the key into the mess.

The bear scratched himself in the grass and just happened to take the key away. He took the key all the way back to his cave.

Suiju followed the key, and Li Banfeng and Suiju followed the black bear to the cave.

The key question now is, how to get the key off the bear's back?

Seeing that the black bear was about to return to the cave, Li Banfeng quickly caught up, picked up a stone, and hit the bear on the back.

Don't let the black bear enter the cave. If the key falls into the dark cave, it will be too difficult to retrieve it.

Li Banfeng wanted to use this stone to knock off the key.

Unfortunately, the distance was not within five meters. He was dozens of meters away from the black bear. It was really not easy to hit the black bear.

The stone missed the key and hit the black bear on the back of the head.

The black bear received a heavy blow, roared, turned around and chased Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng also ran. The black bear chased for a while, but found that he still couldn't catch up. He stood up on his hind legs, hung his front legs on his chest, and roared at Li Banfeng.

This is a stern warning from the bear family. If you get close to it again, it will definitely cost you your life.

After the warning, the black bear put down its forelimbs and lay on the ground again. As soon as he turned around and walked towards the cave, he was hit by another stone on the back of his head.

Li Banfeng wanted to hit the key, but he couldn't control the strength of his hand, and he always hit the black bear on the back of the head.

The furious black bear exerted all its strength and knocked down a tree next to the cave, showing its strength to Li Banfeng.

When the black bear turned around, Li Banfeng threw another stone at the black bear, hitting the back of the head again.

The black bear shook his head, a little confused.

Li Banfeng looked at the key on the bear's back and felt a little anxious.

The black bear rushed over and Li Banfeng ran away immediately. As soon as the black bear turned around, Li Banfeng would throw stones.

After throwing sixteen stones in succession, the black bear stopped chasing and did not return to the cave. It lay on the ground motionless.

Li Banfeng walked closer and found that the black bear was not dead or faint. It had its eyes open and was still panting. The back of its head was blood red.

Has it given up on itself?

Li Banfeng picked up a stone.

The black bear roared and immediately got up.

Li Banfeng put the stone down.

The black bear lay on the ground again, motionless.

According to Li Banfeng's understanding, this means, don't throw stones, and let's discuss things easily.

Li Banfeng plucked up the courage, came behind Black Bear, took the key down, turned around and ran away.

It wasn't until Li Banfeng's figure completely disappeared that the black bear got up from the ground and slowly climbed back into the cave.

Li Banfeng walked out of the jungle with the key in his pocket, covered in dust and mud, and walked down the middle of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Banfeng picked up two stones, put them into his backpack, and weighed them. They were about the same as copper lotus flowers.

The bait must be made real. Although it is heavy, the traveler is in good physical condition and can still carry it.

Coming to such a strange place, it stands to reason that Li Banfeng would not be able to discern the direction.

But Li Banfeng could not only accurately identify the direction, but also found a main road based on the position of the sun and the footprints on the road.

This is the gift of the traveler.

Li Banfeng can run faster than a black bear in complex and harsh terrain, which is also a traveler's talent.

The stone hits accurately and hard. Is this the talent of a traveler or the talent of a homesteader?

These need to be verified later. The most urgent thing now is to find He Jiaqing as soon as possible.

This so-called main road is a fairly flat and spacious dirt road. Judging from its width, it can accommodate two oxcarts walking side by side.

Why use oxcarts to measure road width?

Because there really is an ox cart on the road.

Li Banfeng met an old man driving a bullock cart and asked where there was a place to charge.

"Electricity? It's hard to find it. The village chief doesn't even have one at home! Let's go to Ligou and have a look!"

According to the old man's introduction, Li Banfeng had a certain understanding of Yaowanggou.

Yaowanggou is a town, a very large town, divided into Ligou and Waigou.

Waigou is very large, including various villages under Yaowanggou.

Li Gou is the center of the town. Li Banfeng gave the old man thirty yuan, and the old man drove an ox cart and took Li Banfeng to Li Gou.

The oxcart drove from morning to dusk and arrived at Ligou. Night was approaching. Standing on the gravel-paved archway street, Li Banfeng thought about where to go next.

Although He Jiaqing sent the address, Li Banfeng only remembered Paifang Street. If he wanted to know the specific location, he had to find a place to charge his mobile phone.

There is a small shop on the street. The signboard says Fengji Grocery Store. The lights are on here, so it should have electricity.

Li Banfeng entered the grocery store and saw two candles lit on the counter. Only then did he realize that what he had just seen was not an electric light, but a candle flame.

The grocery store owner, wearing a slanted gown, stood behind the counter and greeted him with a smile: "What do you want?"

Behind the counter is a shelf on which various groceries are densely piled.

Li Banfeng asked: "Is there a place to charge?"

"Charging?" The boss seemed to have heard a very strange word, "We don't have electricity here. Can you go to Old Xu's house on Yuanzheng Street and ask?"

Yuanzheng Street?

What is that place?

Li Banfeng really didn't want to leave anymore.

"Do you know that there is a man named He Jiaqing living on Archway Street?" Li Banfeng asked even though he knew there was no hope.

The boss thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know He Jiaqing, but I know the old house of He family.

You walk east along the street, turn south at the second intersection, and walk to Xianchuanzi Alley. There is a house with a single door and a courtyard, which is the old house of the He family."

What's the old house?

Could it be He Jiaqing's home?

Very possible!

The boss was a nice guy, so to express his gratitude, Li Banfeng decided to buy something from their house.

What is appropriate to buy?

Li Banfeng looked at it for a moment and took his fancy on a feather duster.

This feather duster has a very straight rod, lots of hair, colorful and elegant appearance.

When visiting the home for the first time, don’t go empty-handed. This feather duster is very suitable as a gift for He Jiaqing.

Li Banfeng also chose a top hat.

The top hats from the grocery store were not made of the best material, but the style was acceptable. Li Banfeng picked a black top hat and put it on immediately.

His mountaineering hat is a bit similar to that of a rickshaw puller. After putting on the top hat, his temperament immediately rises to a new level.

"Boss, how much do these two items cost?"

The boss looked at Li Banfeng's clothes and asked with a smile: "Do you use Huan Guo banknotes or foreign money? If you have banknotes from other countries, I can also exchange them."

In this place, always check the currency type before doing business.

Li Banfeng did not have foreign money or banknotes from other countries, so he naturally chose Huanguo banknotes.

The hat is thirty-one and six yuan, and the feather duster is seven and eight yuan.

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and held a feather duster, walking from the street into the alley like a mysterious gentleman walking through the night.

The old house of the He family is easy to find. In this narrow alley, there are houses one after another, with almost no gaps between the walls of the two houses, and there is only one house with a single courtyard.

Surrounded by bluestone walls, there is a yard with a flower garden. Behind the flower garden is a two-story bungalow with blue bricks and red tiles, and vines hanging from the walls. It exudes luxury and chic everywhere.

In this small town, such a house is really eye-catching.

Is this really He Jiaqing’s home?

Is Jiaqing’s family well off?

So what kind of rocks did he have to move in the first place?

It was the vague smell of fish in this house that made Li Banfeng feel a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't like to eat fish. Even if he doesn't eat meat for a month in the orphanage, he won't eat fish.

There is no fish seller nearby. Where does the fishy smell come from?

Li Banfeng came to the iron gate and didn't know how to knock on such a door.

For such a big mansion, there should at least be a doorman, right?

After watching for a moment, Li Banfeng didn't see the doorman, so he pushed on the iron door. Creak~, the door shaft made a harsh friction sound, and the door just opened.

Is it appropriate to go in like this?

Jiaqing will definitely not care about me. If it wasn't Jiaqing's home, it would be considered that I went to the wrong place, and no one would care about me.

Li Banfeng walked through the yard and came directly to the door of the bungalow.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor, a figure suddenly appeared and then disappeared.

The other party only flashed by the window. Li Banfeng in the past would not have noticed the figure that flashed at this moment.

But today Li Banfeng can see very clearly, and his vision is very different from before.

There is someone in this house, and judging from the speed of travel, it is definitely not an ordinary person.

Li Banfeng held the feather duster in his right hand and gently knocked on the door with his left hand.

Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!

The knocking sound is soft and slow, very graceful.

Meow!

A black cat suddenly jumped from the second floor to the door, glanced at Li Banfeng, wagged its tail, and took two steps back.

Li Banfeng was startled when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from inside the door: "Is it Banfeng?"

It’s He Jiaqing’s voice!

Li Banfeng took a long breath and said loudly: "It's me, open the door."

After waiting for nearly half a minute, the door opened.

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Why did you wait so long?"

He Jiaqing stood at the door and stared at Li Banfeng for a long time: "Brother, you are finally here."

"Here we come," Li Banfeng took off his backpack and smiled bitterly, "This journey has not been easy."

He Jiaqing casually took the backpack and asked, "Why are you carrying such a broken bag?"

Li Banfeng was stunned: "Is this bag broken?"

He Jiaqing smiled and said: "Why isn't it broken? It's already open. Where did you buy this broken bag?"

"Where did you buy it?" Li Banfeng frowned, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "I forgot about it too. It seems to have been given with phone credit."

He Jiaqing weighed the bag and asked, "What's in the bag?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "It's not in the bag, I left it at the train station."
