I was driving the car and Su Jin was sitting in the passenger seat, teasing me in every possible way along the way.
But whenever my mind wanders, I suddenly think about Luoluo still waiting for me to come home, and all other thoughts disappear.
When we got to the back, even Su Jin pouted, looked at me with strange eyes and said, "Good brother, don't you have a problem there?"
I had long wanted her to stop teasing her, so I simply said, "How do you know I can't do it?"
"Is it really not possible?"
I nodded.
Su Jin winked and said, "Gee, if that doesn't work, try it anyway. It only takes a few seconds anyway..."
I suddenly felt a black line on my forehead...
After entering Jinnan Province, there are mostly jungles and mountains on both sides of the road and sparsely populated areas, but this is just the beginning.
According to the guidance of the human skin map, the end of this road is only the midpoint leading to the destination of the human skin map. There is still half the distance above. If you refer to the map, it seems that you have to cross the border line.
This was beyond my expectation. I had never even left the province. I didn’t expect that this time I would follow the human skin map and go abroad.
But before following the guidance of the human skin map, I still have to find Zhou Xiaoshe and Monk Zhangzhi.
Fortunately, the map shows that at the end of this road is a county town, and I estimate that Zhou Xiaoshe and Monk Zhangzhi will most likely be there.
There were almost no stops along the way. Su Jin and I took turns driving and arrived near the county seat overnight.
But before the car even entered the gate of the county town, the front of the car was already smoking, and the wheels were not even turning.
Su Jin got out of the car, opened the hood, took a look, shook his head and said: "It's burned out, this car just can't be driven."
I can also see that the car has not stopped for more than ten hours. Even if it is made of iron, it cannot withstand such abuse.
"If you can't drive it, then throw it away. The county seat is right ahead anyway."
I looked up and saw, indeed, that I could already see the outline of the county gate in the distance.
Su Jin used her long legs to push down the car hood, then threw the car keys on it domineeringly, turned around and left.
"Sister, I don't want this old car anymore. Let's go to the county town."
I looked at Su Jin's back and couldn't help shaking my head and laughing bitterly.
The blood compass is still with me. I originally asked Su Jin to go back first and then go back to find her after I found Zhuge Liang's tomb with the blood compass, but she was not happy and said that she was afraid that I would not keep my promise, so she wanted to go with me to find her.
Zhuge Liang's Tomb.
I had no choice but to listen to her.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the county seat that I had been looking at from a distance was finally in front of me.
But when I glanced at this ancient, but slightly dilapidated city gate, I couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
This city gate is still the kind of old city that can only be seen in ancient history books or TV dramas, and the city wall is also in dilapidated condition. If it hadn't been for the name "Longming County" written on it, I wouldn't have believed it.
It is actually a county town.
I won’t mention the name of Longming County yet, but as soon as I entered it, I felt a little hopeful.
I originally thought that no matter how bad this county town is, it should be a place similar to the urban-rural fringe. But as soon as I entered and my eyes fell on the huge dirt road and the appearance of pedestrians and shops on both sides, I couldn't help but sigh.
Take a breath.
This is completely a rural town. Although there are many people, there is no trace of modernity. On the contrary, the people walking on the road, the clothes they wear, and the language they speak are completely new to me...
I suspected that I had come to a foreign country, but it was no wonder. Less than ten kilometers south of Longming County was the famous Myanmar. It is a great blessing to be able to live and work peacefully here now.
Longming County is not big, so I took Su Jin to find the tallest building in it (actually it is a five-story building).
There is a restaurant upstairs that is said to be the most upscale in Longming County (please refer to the food stalls over there for details). Although it is already noon time, there are not many people eating there.
I glanced around and saw that there were only a few people on the table. They only ordered a few sparse side dishes, but they insisted on pretending to taste them slowly. For those who didn’t know, they thought they were eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
.
The restaurant is not big, but fortunately they still use RMB.
Su Jin took out the wallet she had gotten from the male driver before. There was a lot of cash in it. As soon as she took it out, the waiter who was still ten meters away and was explaining the dishes to the guests with an impatient expression immediately followed him.
As if, it suddenly appeared in front of us.
"You two... are having sex together, what do you... want?"
The waiter is indeed a waiter, and he can actually speak Mandarin. It's a pity that he made two wrong words in one sentence, and the customer called him a guest.
"I, I... am not a prostitute... I am a guest, come and read with me, r-e-n... human being!"
The waiter saw that I was making fun of him, and immediately became a little unhappy.
Su Jin directly pinched out a hundred-yuan bill and put it on it. The waiter suddenly burst into laughter: "I can read r-i-n. I'm just a prostitute..."
I waved my hand and asked the waiter to bring the menu quickly, otherwise I would really hit someone.
There are a lot of things to eat on the menu, all of which are specialties from the mountains. These are popular items in the city, but here, you can get a large portion for more than ten yuan, making it seem like the mountain food is from home.
.
I hastily ordered a few dishes, sent the waiter, and gave him a hundred yuan, asking him to find some local snakes in Longming County.
According to my guess, if Zhou Xiaoshe and Monk Zhangzhi had normal IQs, they should be in Longming County by now. Su Jin and I didn't know anyone when we first arrived. If we want to find them, we can only ask others to come, no doubt.
, the local snake here is the best candidate.
It was indeed easy to get things done after taking the money. A few minutes later, before the food was served, the waiter was already out of breath and pulled a bald man over. He said that he was the top figure in Longming County and there was nothing he couldn't do. As long as the money was in charge,
enough.
I took a look at this bald man. He was in his early thirties and had a sinister look on his face. He didn't look like a serious person at first glance. When he saw me, he smiled like a familiar face and glanced at Su Jin intentionally or unintentionally.
.
"What do you call it?" I asked.
The bald man quickly lit a cigarette for me and said with a smile, "Just call me Lao Guang."
"Oh? Your Mandarin is quite standard?" I said in surprise.
"That's right, you come out to make a living. If you can't even speak, then don't be embarrassed." Lao Guang said sarcastically.
I nodded, thinking it was really not easy to find someone with such a correct accent in this place.
I took the cigarette from Lao Guang. It was a local cigarette that was made very crudely. The roll was a bit thick and quite strong.
I took a sip and said, "Lao Guang, I just came here and I'm not familiar with many places. Can you help me with two things?"
"Boss, please tell me, don't worry when I do the work."
"First thing, help me find two people. One is a Taoist priest and the other is a monk. They are about the same age as me. I think they arrived in the past two days. Do you have any idea how to find them?"
Lao Guang touched the shiny back of his head and said, "It's simple. I'll ask people to search all the hotels in Longming County. As long as your two friends are in Longming County, I'll make sure they can't escape."
Lao Guang looked proud, as if this matter was nothing more than a piece of cake for him.
My heart moved slightly, I put the cigarette in my mouth, took out a piece of paper roughly drawn with reference to the human skin map, put it in front of Lao Guang, and said: "Second thing, see if there is any way you can take me
Go to this place?”
After I finished speaking, Lao Guang looked at Zhi Zhi nonchalantly. For a local coward like him, finding someone to lead the way was a piece of cake.
I thought so too.
But unfortunately, Lao Guang disappointed me.
After Lao Guang's eyes touched the map on the paper, he hesitated for a few times, then took out the paper and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, then his face suddenly showed bitterness.
Lao Guang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Boss, I can't do this second job. No one dares to go to this place anymore..."
