Dali is a beautiful city, mainly focused on tourism, with a reputation for romance. Next to the city is the blue Erhai Lake, which is one of Dali's characteristic scenery. At seven o'clock in the morning, there are some large and small cruise ships moored at the pier.
At this time, many tourists have begun to board the ship and cruise. When the air horn of a cruise ship sounds, it means that it is about to sail away.
Zhang Xiaolong sat on the stone pier by the side of the dock, looking at the seven-story-high cruise ship 'Cangshan' slowly sailing out of the port with a dull expression. He asked Chen Tie, who was blowing on the side: "Tie Dan"
, I’ve been waiting for half an hour, your friend won’t be in trouble anymore!”
"What are you doing to beat the autumn wind, let go of doves, use inappropriate words, call you readers, you will catch toads and fuck pigs every day." Chen Tie opened his mouth and blew again, shook his head and seemed to feel better, stood up and said: "Let's go, no
Wait, the phone is turned off, he probably hasn’t gotten up yet, so the wait is in vain, let’s go fill our stomachs first, and then go back and pawn the 250.”
"What, you want to sell Yamaha?" Zhang Xiaolong asked as he got into the car.
"If you don't sell it, why keep it? Dali is probably just a transition. I won't be able to stay for a few days before running away again. I don't want to ride this thing all over the world again." Chen Tie said very casually, started the car, and the two
People begin to become familiar with the new environment.
It was their first time to come to Dali, and the photosensitive impact of a strange city aroused their curiosity. Chen Tie had stayed in Chuncheng for a long time, and he also knew some of the surrounding tourist cities, so when he came to Dali
At that time, he first went to see some scenery that he had heard about or seen on TV. He and Zhang Xiaolong first came to Erhai Lake, then rode a motorcycle to the foot of Cangshan Mountain, and found a farm restaurant under Gantong Temple.
The feast began. After eating, we found a Bai-style private hotel and checked in. Jinhua led us to the guest room, took a hot shower and washed ourselves down. The two of them fell on the bed, both snoring.
Big sleep.
Cycling consumes energy, and driving at night makes it even easier to fall asleep. After driving more than 300 kilometers overnight, they were really sleepy. When they were woken up by the ringing of their cell phones, Chen Tie was still a little dazed and not quite awake.
, put the cell phone to his ear with his head down, and then he jumped up at the sound on the phone. Zhang Xiaolong, dressed neatly, sat by the bed and looked at him, wondering what was going on.
"Monkey, where are you?" Chen Tie held the phone and asked in a low voice while looking at the radiant Zhang Xiaolong.
"I'm at Ziyue Tower. I've been waiting for you for a long time, why haven't you come yet?" A desperate voice came from the phone.
Chen Tie was startled, and then asked: "Zi Yue Tower, which Zi Yue Tower, old man, you won't go to Shanghai!" Chen Tie remembered for a moment that he only remembered that there was a Zi Yue Tower in Shanghai.
"Zi Yue Lou on Foreigner Street in Dali, your head is rusty. Come here quickly. I have already contacted the stationmaster and he has arranged a place for you two."
"We? What about you? Hey...hey..."
The phone hung up. Chen Tie frowned and asked Zhang Xiaolong, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression: "Landlord, what time is it?"
"Six-thirty in the afternoon." Zhang Xiaolong replied.
"Hold!"
Chen Tie hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and rushed to the bathroom. He quickly washed up and walked out, picked up his bag and walked out the door. Zhang Xiaolong followed quietly.
"The monkeys have arrived in Dali. Now let us go to Ziyue Tower on Foreigner Street in the ancient city. My brother has also contacted me and said that he has arranged a place for us so that we can have fun tonight." Chen Tie said as he walked.
.
"How did he know we were in Dali, and how did he come to Dali?" Zhang Xiaolong asked a little bit crazy, and he couldn't be blamed. He had only met Wang Xiaofei once, and the feeling in his mind was that it was extremely wretched, mysterious, and mysterious at first glance.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a beggar on the street carrying a linen bag and picking up mineral water bottles. Upon closer inspection, he has the demeanor of a fortune-teller who sets up stalls on the roadside, giving people an unpredictable feeling. The reason is that Zhang Xiaolong knew it before
The information Chen Tie said was all provided by Wang Xiaofei. Sitting in a small rental house in Spring City and knowing the plane taking off at Changsha Huanghua International Airport, this is beyond the scope of ordinary people. It can be described as "sitting and observing the world."
Wang Xiaofei is the most appropriate person. Zhang Xiaolong got up at three o'clock in the afternoon and sat there until six-thirty, thinking about these unreasonable things. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. It was fine that Wang Xiaofei didn't call, and now he happened to be in Dali.
"Monkeys are elusive and make a living by stealing opportunities and stalking dogs. They like to figure out people's psychology and go in the opposite direction, often succeeding. He once learned fortune telling and helped people read Feng Shui. He was able to fool people even though he was half-assed.
I had little money. A few years ago, my wife ran away with someone. I couldn't figure it out, so I started doing dirty things. I stole people in the village and was caught by my husband. As a result, half of the hair on my head was knocked off. After that, I went all over the world.
He has been to different big and small cities in the country, and with his sharp tongue, he has deceived many people, and he has also met a lot of friends. Don't look at him pretending to be crazy all day long. If something happens, let him find out.
The message is a spirit in heaven and on earth.”
After going downstairs and checking out the room, the two of them got on their Yamaha and headed towards the ancient city of Dali. Chen Tie kept talking all the way. At this time, he felt there was no need to hide some things from Zhang Xiaolong. In fact, the reason why Chen Tie treated Zhang Xiaolong like this was
Well, the reason why he gave up everything and ran away with Zhang Xiaolong was mostly because of Wang Xiaofei. The first day Zhang Xiaolong went to Black Iron Wine, Chen Tie hosted him. After returning, he mentioned his suspicions about Zhang Xiaolong to Wang Xiaofei. As a result, Wang Xiaofei found out that that day
He secretly observed Zhang Xiaolong, and when he came back, he told Chen Tie that he was an extraordinary person. He then said that if he took his boat, he would be able to enjoy good food and drink, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Chen Tie has been following Wang Xiaofei from north to south since he came out of the army. Although the two of them usually work on their own careers, Chen Tie has always trusted Wang Xiaofei. It's not that he is an accurate fortune teller, but he thinks he is a man who has experienced more things.
There is always a grain of truth in what he says. In addition, the two of them are from the same hometown and have blood ties. They depend on each other for life and follow their elder brothers. Chen Tie followed Wang Xiaofei to different cities, big and small, which can be said to be the territory of the big guys in the circle.
He had been to them all, but had never found a good owner. Qianli Ma could not meet Bole. The appearance of Zhang Xiaolong immediately gained the recognition of both of them. Although he did not express his allegiance to Zhang Xiaolong clearly, judging from his actions, there was a sense of loyalty.
The will to live and die together without asking for anything in return.
It took twenty minutes to arrive at Foreigner Street in the ancient city, and another ten minutes to find Ziyue Tower. As soon as Zhang Xiaolong entered the door, he saw two bearded foreigners speaking fluent English. Wang Xiaofei, who was wearing a cotton coat in late autumn, was standing there.
He greeted the two people at the stairs. When he saw Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Tie coming in, he turned around and walked upstairs without saying hello. After a while, the three of them came to a private room.
The antique room was warm and elegant, filled with the fragrance of tea. When Zhang Xiaolong came in, he found a man with black hair and dirty face sitting under the east wall. He was around thirty years old. His height could not be seen from his sitting position, but from his thick and short neck
From his body shape, it can be seen that he is not much taller than Wang Xiaofei, who is about 1.6 meters tall. Yuan Yi, Wang Xiaofei calls him the webmaster. The webmaster is dressed very casually, which can be called vulgar, and there seems to be some oil stains on his clothes.
The dirt has not been washed away, so it is easy to guess that he is a repairman who works with engine oil all year round.
"Tiedan, long time no see. I'm really sorry today. I worked overtime late last night to modify a car. When I got back, my slutty bitch gave me a lot of trouble. As a result, I couldn't get up this morning. My phone was out of battery and turned off.
I'm so sorry." Yuan Yi stood up and hugged Chen Tiexiong, then shook hands with Zhang Xiaolong in a friendly manner, introduced themselves to each other, and then sat down.
"Webmaster, we don't talk to each other, and I'm not afraid of walking into the wrong door when there are monkeys around. Meeting again after three years of separation is a kind of fate. I hope that my arrival this time will not cause you any trouble. Yes.
If that's the case, I can only say sorry, brother." Chen Tie said with a smile.
"What's the trouble? Brother Monkey told me a long time ago that your arrival this time is purely for tourism. Even if you escape, there will be no danger. Can I still believe his words?" Yuan Yi seems relaxed on the surface, but he understands in his heart.
However, the other party was tired of him, so he could only keep it in his mind whether it was a blessing or a curse. Everyone was understanding, and he spoke readily, "It's all arranged. Brother Monkey said he would stay at the Manwan Hotel tonight. There is a new hotel there."
A group of ladies have come here, and Pinsanmao keeps trying to get me to go there, so I’m going to have some fun with you tonight. I haven’t had such an exciting time in a long time.”
