Zamao Xiaodao and I were carrying our bags on our backs and accompanied by Kaimin. As soon as we reached the entrance of the village, we heard someone calling us from behind.
Looking back, we saw Wang Tao walking over quickly. We were a little surprised. We watched this man walk up to us without saying a word.
Wang Tao greeted us warmly and asked if we were going out into the mountains.
We nodded and said yes. Wang Tao stopped in front of us and said, "Brother, I have a job here, do you want to do it?"
Zamao Xiaodao raised his eyebrows and asked, Boss Wang, what kind of job is this? Wang Tao looked at me and Zamao Xiaodao, as if he was observing something, and then said: "That's right, I collected a lot of mountain goods yesterday, and I had already hired someone to do it."
I asked two men from the village to pick out the mountain, but I didn’t expect that they took too much, and there was still a little left. If you two can help, then this job will cost two hundred per person. How about it? Do you want to do it? "
Zamao Xiaodao and I were a little surprised. We looked at each other. Before I could think clearly, I heard Zamao Xiaodao ask with a smile: "Oh, two hundred per person, this business is not bad. Boss Wang is really rich..."
Wang Tao came closer, leaned his head over, and whispered: "That's not the case, isn't it just because the two of you hit it off? I just wanted to chat more on the way back. The other two people only have one hundred and two people to work with.
, one. Don’t let it slip, it’s not easy for me to handle here.”
Zamao Xiaodao asked when to leave? Wang Tao said that he was preparing, and he was taking stock of things just now. Zamao Xiaodao said yes, this trip to the mountain can also earn some travel expenses, which is just right. After we reached an agreement here, we passed
In about half an hour, Wang Tao's place was ready. Zamao Xiaodao and I each received a load of goods, which we carried on poles. The goods were tightly wrapped inside. I don't know what they were, but they were heavy anyway.
Kaimin wanted to send us out of the mountain, but I thought something might happen on this trip, so I tried my best to stop him.
Walking on the mountain road, I have a lot of strength after all, and it is easy to walk. Wang Tao can be regarded as a boss to some extent, carrying a satchel with money and receipts, walking in the middle of the road, there is nothing to say.
Looking for us to chat. I was a little annoyed by this businessman with a strong philistine atmosphere, so I walked at the front, and Zamao Xiaodao had no choice but to chat with him.
Only the two Yi men walking at the back lowered their heads, carrying their burdens and saying nothing.
Judging from the curve of their poles, I knew that the two of them had the heaviest burden.
While talking, Wang Tao began to recall the prosperous years and said that he met a strange man a few years ago. The man came from Maoshan, the holy land of Taoism. His name was Mao Keming. He was a Maoshan Taoist priest. If it hadn't been for that gentleman at that time, he wouldn't have been able to
Receive the goods here safely. Speaking of which, I think Brother Lin, you have the temperament of that gentleman...
Zamao Xiaodao acted as if he had never heard of it and just said yes? There are really Maoshan Taoist priests in the world. Can they catch ghosts? Can they catch monsters?
His pure expression made me, who was walking at the front, look at him and almost fall to the ground.
Wang Tao's eyes are very poisonous, he likes to stare at people, and always tries to find some expressions on our faces. However, although the human skin mask can convey expressions, how can he see the two old gangsters like me and Zamao Xiaodao?
In his heart. Halfway through the journey, he became a little annoyed by the mixed-race trail. He stopped suddenly and parked the load on the side of the road. Then he said, Boss Wang, we are in a hurry. I will go find a place to solve the problem. Otherwise, everyone will
Go first?
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said, let's take a ten-minute break and you can solve it quickly.
Zamao Xiao was obviously in a hurry. He didn't even take off the bag on his back and hurried into the woods nearby. Inside his backpack were all our most important things, including the locust wood sign on my neck.
I left it inside, and I wanted to go over and have a look. Wang Tao grabbed me, as if he was afraid that I would run away, and said that he was going to solve his stomach problem. What are you going to see? Don't you mind the smell? Wait...
After saying this, Wang Tao took out his mobile phone, took a look at it, and muttered: "What kind of crappy place is this? There's no signal yet?"
The Zamao Trail didn’t take long. In less than five minutes, I came out, wiped my hands with grass leaves, and then apologized to everyone for waiting for a long time. Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief and said that it’s okay. People have three urgent needs.
, who needs something? Zamao Xiaodao picked up the load again and winked at me. I didn’t understand what he meant and wanted to ask him quietly, but he turned around again and greeted the two people who were at the end.
A man from the Yi family asked me, two eldest brothers, are you tired? Do you want to change the load?
The two Yi men waved their hands, either way, they would deduct the money.
Seeing what they said, Zamao Xiaodao didn't insist. He just said he was tired and looked for him. Then he shifted the burden from his shoulders to his shoulders, pretending to be struggling, and started walking on the rugged road.
I have said that the road into the mountain is very difficult. It is reasonable to say that it will be better when going down the mountain, but with this heavy burden on my shoulders, it is another way of saying - there was a winter rain just two days ago.
The mountain road was slippery, so we always walked carefully and did not act rashly because of our skills.
I continued walking, still thinking about things in my mind, when I saw a Taoist named Xuanyu wearing a blue robe walking towards the end of the mountain road.
This Taoist's Taoist robe and golden crown are extremely luxurious, as if he is a real Taoist. However, when he takes a closer look, his hair is disheveled, his face is pale, his eyes are dull, his brows are furrowed, and he is staggering when he walks. He looks like a slovenly Taoist Zhang Sanfeng.
When I saw this person, my heart was beating wildly, and I hesitated a little, not daring to move forward. Wang Tao behind saw me stopping, so he urged me from behind, saying why don't you leave? Hurry up...
I took a deep breath and carefully walked down. I watched the old master of Qingcheng Mountain watching the top master of the younger generation, Li Tengfei, walking slowly towards me. I silently recited "Spirit!" and said the mantra in my heart, finally letting my mind calm down.
Calm down a little, then greeted him with a smile.
Li Tengfei was a little absent-minded. I was about to pass by this guy, but as soon as we met, he stopped me: "Stop..."
I obediently stopped and asked in changed Mandarin: "Master, why are you stopping me?"
Li Tengfei raised his head, narrowed his eyes, then looked at me carefully, then looked at the trail behind me, as well as Wang Tao and two other Yi men, and then asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?
of?"
Seeing something unexpected, Wang Tao hurriedly stepped forward, then raised his hands and said, "Hey, Taoist Priest, we are all businessmen who go into the mountains to collect medicinal materials. We are doing small business. If you have any orders, just speak up."
He is also a very discerning person. He knows that in modern society, people who dress like this usually have awesome strength, but they cannot be offended. Li Tengfei raised his eyebrows, then looked at me sideways, and hummed: "
Boy, you look familiar, have we met somewhere?" I shifted the burden to one shoulder, laughed and said, Master, you are a noble person, and I am a great person. How could we have met by chance? This
It's the first time.
Li Tengfei touched his hand in his arms, then took out a document with the national emblem, waved it in front of all of us, and then said: "The relevant departments are handling the case. I suspect that you are related to a murder case. All of you
Everyone, stop, I want to check your things."
We were all surprised and confused. Looking back, Wang Tao had some knowledge. He walked forward, looked at the certificate, and said suspiciously: "Taoist priest, there seems to be something wrong with your certificate?" Before he could finish his words, Li Tengfei
Then he exploded: "Look carefully, relevant departments! Do you understand? Everyone, put down your burdens and move to the side of the road. If you don't obey the instructions, I will charge you with assaulting the police!"
He was so vicious, but Wang Tao didn't want to. He stretched out his hand and pointed forward, saying, "You're a fake policeman. Why are you awesome? If you have the ability, let's go out together. Let's go report the crime and see if the police arrest us or you?"
Wang Tao can be regarded as a man of great influence in Ningnan, but Li Tengfei's move was too impatient. We didn't say anything and watched the negotiation between the two.
However, since Li Tengfei lost the Feijian to slay demons, his patience seemed to have weakened a lot. When he saw Wang Tao being so disdainful of him, he immediately became angry. He stretched out his hand and Wang Tao felt as if he was stepping on something light.
In the clouds and mist, after a while, the person fell into the thorn bushes in the forest opposite. After Li Tengfei finished treating Wang Tao, he pointed at my nose and said: "You, put down your burden and unpack all your backpacks."
Come on, I suspect you are related to a wanted criminal!"
I looked back and saw Wang Tao groaning in the thorn bushes. Li Tengfei was too aggressive and did not dare to disobey his orders. He followed a few people behind him, put down the burden, and then opened the backpack to show him.
.
My backpack contained a change of clothes, as well as some food and mountain goods prepared by Kaimin’s mother. Everything was placed in the backpack on Zamao Trail, so I was not afraid of anything and showed it to him calmly. Li Tengfei stretched out his hand
He went in, took out all my dozen red underwear, looked through them carefully, and found that there was nothing he wanted. Then he untied the cloth bag on my load and rummaged through it for a while.
Still nothing. Li Tengfei became anxious, rushed in front of me, grabbed my neck, and then tore my shirt open - nothing.
I resisted helplessly and said, Master, Master, enough is enough and please pay attention to your moral integrity. He looked very strange, and then stared at the backpack on Zamao Xiaodao's shoulder. My heart tightened, everything might lead to our identity being exposed.
Everything, including Li Tengfei's flying sword, are all there.
At this moment, my heart finally contracted suddenly and I didn't know what to do.
Li Tengfei pointed at Zamao Xiaodao's shoulder and said word by word: "Put it down, open it, and show me!"
He said nine words, and I was extremely nervous. Zamao Xiaodao's face also looked a little strange. Li Tengfei couldn't wait, so he grabbed it and looked inside. When he saw it, he actually screamed loudly.
