Chapter 84
He saw me and the fat man coming over, probably because he thought I was here to persuade him to move again. He gave me a blank look and stopped looking at me. I walked over and said with a smile on my face, "Second Master, are you busy?"
He ignored me, and I took out the cigarette and handed it over. He waved his hand, holding the tobacco gun he hung around his neck, signaling him to smoke only this. His tobacco gun was exactly the same as my grandfather's. The things from that era looked the same. I smiled awkwardly and said, "Fourth Master, I am here to persuade you to move. Didn't we not come last year? I know that living is your business. I came this time, and I came outside, my friend, and I want to go into the mountains to get some wild game. I want you to take a way."
The one-eyed fourth brother then calmed down a little. He glanced at the fat man and said, "Why are you bringing?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he probably asked the guy who was hunting in the mountains and said, "I really didn't bring this. The gun is now a contraindicated item. The bow and arrow are not easy. In fact, I am not just hunting, but just playing with it."
The one-eyed fourth brother glanced at the fat man with that one-eyed eye, and then said to me: "It's still outside the mountains."
I smiled and said, "Of course it's in the mountains. This is my friend. There is a barren mountain outside the mountains. What's there to play with?"
The one-eyed fourth brother looked at us again and said, "You two are not good at this thing. I have equipment, do you want it?"
"What equipment?" I asked.
The unique cunning of the mountain people flashed in the one-eyed fourth child's one-eyed old man's one-eyed one-eyed one flashed through the mountain people's eyes and said, "If you want it, you can go and have a look in the house."
Before I could speak, the fat man said, "Sure, I'm here too hastily and I really need some professional things."
The one-eyed fourth brother nodded and said, "But my thing is not cheap."
"Money is a trivial matter, Fourth Master, come and take us to see." The fat man said. After that, the one-eyed fourth brother took us into the house. He pulled out a box from under the bed and opened it. There were many mountaineering suits, hiking shoes, flashlights and tents, engineer shovels, etc. inside. It was like a treasure box. At first, I thought the one-eyed fourth brother was quite economical and would even go to buy some equipment to sell it, but at this glance, I felt that the clothes were old. I felt a little confused.
"These are all left by the bosses. They will not want to pass them once. If you want, pick them up, give me a thousand dollars and choose whatever you want." said the one-eyed fourth brother.
I thought to myself that the old one costs 1,000 yuan. Although the clothes in it are all famous brands, they were worn after all, and it felt really disgusting to wear them. Who knew that the fat man had already picked it up and really asked him to find a large mountaineering suit to wear it. He took an engineer shovel and a strong light flashlight. This man was really good at dressing. The fat man who changed into this clothes looked professional immediately. He said, "Old man, this thing is really not expensive."
I have no obsession with cleanliness. I would wear this kind of clothes under special circumstances. But I really feel that I can't wear these old clothes of unknown origin. Even if they look quite new, it's not enough. But anyway, we both cost 1,000 yuan, and not taking it would be a waste. I took a strong flashlight and a very sharp dagger. I found a small first aid kit at the bottom of the box, which stuffed it into my backpack. Then I took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the one-eyed fourth child. To be honest, buying these things is not expensive, but it's a bit disgusting.
The one-eyed fourth brother took the money, counted it three times one by one, and looked at the true or false, and then said, "How many days are there? Outsiders come here for three thousand a day. You are from the village. I recognize you. If you get wild game, you will count. If you can, go in. If you don't, go back."
When I heard this, I was going to stomp my feet and curse. Why don’t you snatch it for one thousand five days? And this old guy is really too cunning. We have paid for all the equipment. If we go back now, wouldn’t the 1,000 yuan be wasted?
I was about to bargain, but the fat man interrupted me and said, "Yes, but Fourth Master, we are not sure how many days to go. In this way, Fat Master, I have 3,000 yuan, so I will set two days first. If I really have fun and have fun, then let's calculate it, what's the matter?"
As the fat man said, he took out three thousand yuan. It hurts me when I look at it. How much is my monthly salary? But I just hurt a little. I also know that Taoist priests like Fat Man who are really capable are actually not short of money.
The one-eyed fourth brother took the money and counted it slowly again. He also looked at the watermark one by one to tell the truth about the authenticity of the watermark. Finally, he collected the money and waved to both of us and said, "You have to go into the mountains, go and give the mountain god a fragrance to ensure safety."
"I still want to burn incense?" I asked.
At this time, the fat man kicked me gently, blinked at me, and told me not to say too much. I didn't know what the fat man meant, but I didn't say anything. I followed the one-eyed fourth brother into another room for advice. The room was not big, but there was an incense table and an incense burner. Just opposite the incense burner, there was a shrine covered with red cloth, and I couldn't see anything inside. I thought to myself, why is this mountain god so cute that he dare not see anyone?
The one-eyed fourth brother pointed to the incense on the incense table and said, "One person gave the mountain god three pieces and kowtowed. Whether you believe this or not, the mountain people have taboos."
Because the fat man just signaled me to stop talking, I held back and stopped talking, picked up the incense and lit it on the candle, and then kowtowed to the mountain god. The cushion of the one-eyed old family is also quite interesting. It turned out to be a tree trunk. Looking at the annual rings on the trunk, the tree is old, so I didn't care much about it. I inserted the incense into the incense burner and stood aside.
The fat man wanted to take the incense, but at this time the one-eyed fourth brother waved his hand and said, "Wait first, I'll watch the incense."
The fat man smiled and said, "You can't tell me, you can still watch the fragrance?"
I know what Guanxiang is. There are fortune telling methods in many places now. He Xiangu knows this. People burn incense statues to gods. After asking what they want to ask, the gods or witches can answer you based on the incense. In other words, the trend of incense burning is the way for gods to communicate with them.
The one-eyed fourth brother's one-eyed fourth brother stared at the three incense sticks I inserted into the incense burner, just watching it, but after a while, all of my three incense sticks were suddenly destroyed, and the one-eyed fourth brother's face suddenly changed. I quickly said, "Second Master, are you so fragrant?"
"The God of Mountain does not agree to you entering the mountain. You can't go, go back." At this time, the one-eyed fourth brother seemed very nervous and stood up suddenly. After burning incense to the God of Mountain, he would push us out.
His affairs were a bit mysterious, which almost made me unable to react. But then I thought this was a trick used by the one-eyed fourth brother to cheat the bosses in the city. He collected the equipment money and the money for entering the mountain. Once the incense was destroyed, he would make up another mountain god who did not agree with the statement that if you enter the mountain, you would have a disaster when you enter the mountain. Those bosses would definitely be frightened when they saw this situation. I guess not only wouldn't ask for that money, but they would even give more money to ask this expert to solve the problem.
"Second Master, I am from the same village. My surname is Ye. You won't be like this, right? I haven't entered this mountain before." I said.
"The Lord of the Mountain does not welcome you, go back!" The one-eyed fourth brother drove us out.
At this time, the fat man suddenly pushed me and smiled, "Yezi, since the Mountain God doesn't welcome you, just go back, it's the same for me to go in alone to play."
After saying that, the fat man frightened his head and said to the one-eyed fourth brother: "Fourth Master, his mountain god is not welcome. Fat Master, I haven't burned incense yet. What if the mountain god has no objection to me? Just ask me to raise incense too. If the mountain god agrees to me enter the mountain, I will double the price for you. If the mountain god does not agree, it is Fat Master's life. I will leave now, and I won't talk about the money anymore. How about it?"
The one-eyed fourth son turned around and nodded, "Okay, remember what you said."
I thought to myself, Fatty, you idiot, can't tell that this is the trick of the one-eyed fourth son? He wants to ignore your money, my incense will be destroyed, and yours will not be destroyed?
