Chapter 56
() Found the way home!
After Li Jinao fell asleep, the alcoholic energy surged up again and soaked his nerves. He slept until dawn, and the sound of people in his ears was noisy, so he opened his eyes while yawning.
The "dawn" underground is actually "opening the skylight". The shopkeepers go up to the ground and lift a few pieces of land away. The sunlight will penetrate directly from the thick glass windows, sprinkling a few bright spots in the restaurant lobby facing each other.
Li Jinao turned over and sat up. The door was already wide open. Everyone was busy in the room. Ye Liuxi combed his hair, Ding Liu applied facial cream, Fei Tang did push-ups, the kind that could touch the ground with his belly, the deep-collapse floor mat, and what Changdong wrote in the booklet.
In the busy life, the only thing I saw was the town of mountains and rivers.
Li Jinao exclaimed, walked out the door, and looked around with the railing on the second floor.
In the lobby, there were a few chickens walking around leisurely, occasionally stopping in the spots to bathe in the filtered sunlight, but none of them conquer the mountains and rivers.
"That..." Li Jinao looked into the door, a little confused, "Whoever saw my chicken?"
Ye Liuxi didn't raise her head, and gently wrapped her fingers around the hair straps on the comb: "I didn't pay attention, let's go out for a walk."
"This broken chicken!" Li Jinao angrily and shouted downstairs, "Don't come back if you die outside!"
Chang Dong was keeping a record of the account, and when he heard this, his writing was stuck.
There are many kidnapping and injury cases, and the hostages have been released. The family still does not know that the victim has been kidnapped... They probably have a heart as big as Li Jinao.
Before going downstairs, Changdong handed over another mask to Ye Liuxi. She took it over and hung the elastic rope on her ears.
Ding Liu saw it next to him and felt very sympathetic.
Ye Liuxi started wearing a mask since she entered the store yesterday, because the smell from the ground made her uncomfortable and she felt dizzy when she smelled too much... Ding Liu felt that this problem was really difficult to solve. The smell was everywhere and she would get into the air whenever she had any trouble. Wearing a mask was just for psychological comfort. Unfortunately, Sister Xi had dark circles out of her eyes and she must have not slept well last night.
Breakfast was porridge, roasted steamed buns, and salted peanuts. In order to make Ye Liuxi feel more comfortable, Ding Liu specially chose a table covered by the sun. As soon as the person sat in, his body was warm and his eyes were bright.
The night was pretty good, and there was no danger. The porridge was crispy, the peanuts were just salty and glutinous, and the fat Tang ate it very delicious, so I was excited: "Hey, Brother Dong, don't you think the Tang Dynasty that Li Jinao mentioned last night was very interesting?"
Chang Dong was looking at the front desk and then heared his words and withdrew his gaze: "What an interesting way?"
Fei Tang said: "Didn't you notice that the poets of the Tang Dynasty like to write about Yumen Pass? For example, the 'Spring Breeze does not cross Yumen Pass' was written by Poet Wang, and the 'The lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar' was also written by Poet Wang, and there is also 'The wind of the long wind blows through Yumen Pass', well, I forgot who wrote it."
Changdong said: "Li Bai is crying next to you."
Fei Tang looked around: "He is a poet, I don't care about this... Brother Dong, have you figured out something?"
Obviously not, Changdong said: "Or, can you give me some advice?"
Fei Tang was proud and said: "Brother Dong, you are smart and confused for a lifetime. Listen to me."
"The last vision was in the Tang Dynasty... The vision was that the Nandou appeared in the Japanese, and the Nandou broke into the Yumen... The internal turmoil for a while, Lao Ao said that at least a hundred years had been... At the same time, what was going on outside the pass? Hum?"
Outside the pass…
Changdong pondered.
It was the Tang Dynasty outside the pass.
He remembered that when he was a child, he watched the TV series of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Li Shimin used troops to the Western Turks. Later, in order to compete with Tubo for the Western Regions and Qinghai, he repeatedly fought. Most of the battlefields were in the Hexi area. The frontier poetry pandemic during the Tang Dynasty was due to frequent border troubles.
Fei Tang was full of energy: "You said, is it possible that the chaos last time continued from inside the pass to outside the pass?"
The more he said, the more he felt that his speculation was reasonable: "Hey, really, Brother Dong, have you noticed that the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism, Taoism was everywhere, and there were also novels of freaks! Did the Tang Dynasty's freaks notes reach a peak? Why? Culture always reflects social modes, see the essence through phenomena, is it because..."
He lowered his voice: "At that time, the Yumen Pass closed down was broken, and a demon came out of the gate?"
Before Changdong could answer, there was a sudden chaos at the front desk, and the voice of the woman at the front desk rushed to Niu Dou: "What's this thing!"
Changdong and Ye Liuxi exchanged understanding glances.
Time is going to go back to the middle of yesterday.
Zhenshanhe carefully turned around.
With six eyes facing each other, Zhenshan River showed a calmness beyond the ordinary chicken.
It... left as if nothing had happened.
Ye Liuxi almost rushed out and was stopped by Changdong. He whispered: "Don't worry."
Of course, I can't just forget it. A chicken that listens to the corner of the wall in the middle of the night. Who knows what it is? But there is no need to turn against each other on the spot. The noise is so loud that it makes a mess that no one looks good.
When it was almost dawn, Changdong and Ye Liuxi cooperated with each other and carried out abduction: Zhenshanhe was sleeping soundly, Changdong pinched its chicken beak and claws, Ye Liuxi used tape to seal its mouth, and then wrapped it with cloth strips and tied it three times with his wings and body.
The whole action was straightforward and there was no chicken feather left.
After a vague voice came from outside, Ye Liuxi carried the mountain rivers and went out. There was a table at the front desk. The tablecloth was quite long and almost covered the base of the table legs, but there was only a tabletop, and the bottom was hollow.
Very good. She tried to hang Zhenshanhe upside down on her head. When she walked, she used scissors to cut the cloth strip into a gap. She would definitely be able to open it if she struggled for a moment.
The whole journey of Zhenshan River was motionless and his eyes were dull.
Li Jinao said that the person with scorpion eyes had a very big scorpion around him.
Changdong said that from now on, you must be careful about everything, because the person with scorpion eyes has already regarded them as enemies.
Who is this person? There are dozens of people living in the hotel, and if you don’t find it out, you don’t know who to be wary of. You are simply restless and look like everyone else.
If this person checks out, he must pass the front desk. When he passes, he will put the scorpion in his bag or box. She can't read the bag, but it doesn't matter. He has the most sensitive chicken-shaped detector on hand.
The table at the front desk was like a sperm and shaking. The wind flapping the chicken wings brought the tablecloth to pieces. The woman at the front desk fiercely pulled the tablecloth down: "What... Whose chicken! No one is slaughtering it!"
Everyone in the lobby looked at the front desk, and Changdong also looked at it. It was natural that people who didn’t watch the fun at this time mean that there was a ghost in their hearts.
The man who was embarrassed to retreat with his duffle bag in his hands was in his twenties, thin and indecent black windbreaker, not astonishing as he looked, had a sickly white face, and was hunched back, like a terminally ill patient in the late stage.
Fei Tang stretched his neck and looked at it happily: "Whose chicken is this?"
In his eyes, the roosters are all the same, and they don’t think about Zhenshanhe at all.
Just as the quarrel was in trouble, Li Jinao trotted over: "Oh... that's me... my chicken!"
...
The sick man carried his luggage bag and quietly walked out along the upward stairs, leaving Li Jinao in place, keeping accusing the woman at the front desk.
Changdong withdrew his gaze and lowered his voice: "The man just now may be a person with scorpion eyes. It would be fine if he didn't meet him. If he meets him again, be careful."
Fei Tang opened his mouth and stammered for a while before he asked: "Which man was just...who was he?"
He was just watching the chicken make trouble.
Gao Shen reminded him: "The one wearing a black windbreaker is thin and small, just out."
As he was talking, Li Jinao came with a chicken dejectedly, stopped at their table and complained: "I don't know who it is, I hang Zhenshanhe under the table..."
After Ye Liuxi finished eating, she put the chopsticks on the table and said, "I."
She stood up with the flow, reached out to grab Li Jinao's collar and dragged it into the nearest empty room. Changdong stood up and signaled to Ding Liu and the others: "You eat slowly, don't worry."
He followed into the house calmly and covered the door with his backhand.
Ye Liuxi pushed Li Jinao down in the chair, thinking that the mask was in trouble, so he took it off. Anyway, he had a meeting in the middle of the night last night, so there was no need to hide it.
She said: "Last night, Changdong and I talked about some private matters, it was not a big deal. We just recalled how we killed and set fire some time ago..."
"I don't want people to hear it. If you hear it, you will kill someone to silence it. It's too troublesome."
"Who knows when your chicken came here, I heard it all... Tell me what should I do?"
Li Jinao smiled awkwardly: "This...are you kidding? How can chickens listen to people? Even if they listen, they can't open their mouths and say it. This is the same as not hearing it."
Ye Liuxi sneered: "I don't think, I think it was you who directed it. You will hear whatever it hears."
Li Jinao's eyes suddenly opened and rolled around: "No, absolutely not, this chicken..."
He suddenly thought of breaking apart, so he quickly let go, Zhenshanhe fell to the ground, stood up slowly, and his body was filled with the temperament of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Li Jinao swallowed his saliva: "This chicken is born to like watching the fun. If it quarrels and fights, it can't even pull it away when it hits it. If you chat, it will definitely not be interested..."
Ye Liuxi said: "I'm not talking normally?"
Her tone was wrong, and Li Jinao shuddered and did not dare to say anything.
Ye Liuxi said: "So, in order to reassure me, one of the chickens and you will die. You choose not to think about being confused. You don't even see what kind of car I am taking."
Li Jinao still wanted to beat him, but seeing Ye Liuxi's face didn't look like he was joking. After a while, he made a decisive choice: "It!"
Ding Liu and the others looked at it for a long time, and finally waited until the door opened, and Ye Liuxi brought the chicken out.
Fei Tang was amazed: "My Western sister is so awesome. She lived in a deserted village and swept all the people and supplies. She met Li Jinao and took away the human chicken again. It's really..."
Ye Liuxi approached and carried the chicken forward: "Who will kill the chicken?"
When he was sent to Fei Tang, he waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, no, no, West Sister, killing chickens is too cruel. I...I can't do it."
Delivered to Ding Liu, Ding Liuqiang smiled: "I can't do it, the chicken has smell, it's so dirty..."
It seemed that only seniority was left. He took it from Ye Liuxi, picked up his wings and looked at it, looked at the chicken feet again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss Xi... Miss..."
He and Ye Liuxi are not very old, and they cannot speak "Xijie" like Fei Tang and Ding Liu, and they cannot call them like Changdong, and they are inappropriate.
"My grandfather taught me that the best rooster used to exorcise evil spirits is the golden corolla, with its eyes filled with fire and its feathers as bright as brocade. It is like the golden and sharp iron hook. The corolla is like the color of a red flower blooming..."
Ye Liuxi nodded: "Has this chicken been hit?"
"I've won."
It’s a shame for the chicken to have such good innate conditions and look so crooked.
Gao Shen cleared his throat: "...I think it's hard to explain along the way, and it's useful to keep it sooner or later. Even if you want to kill, you'll choose the most urgent time to kill. Now if you kill, you won't even use chicken blood, which is too wasteful."
Changdong used a box of cold medicine, two packs of alcohol cotton pads and two dry batteries to make the meal and room money.
When he left, he saw Li Jinao's eyes were so eager that he couldn't bear it, but the chicken was indeed a bit ridiculous. He really gave it to him, but he was worried.
Ye Liuxi looked for a rope, tied Zhenshanhe to the luggage rack on the roof of the car, and then sat in the passenger seat: "Let's go."
The car drove back to the Gobi Desert again and headed west. Not long after, a figure of a lonely person appeared in front of him, carrying a duffel bag in one hand.
It was the sick man who was suspected to be a scorpion-eyed person.
Changdong whispered: "If anyone doesn't offend me, I won't offend me. I don't want to do anything, just bypass it."
Ye Liuxi nodded, Changdong stepped on the accelerator and was about to rush straight past the man, but the man suddenly turned around and raised his hand high.
