Brother Chengxin didn't say anything clearly on the phone, just urged us to go over as soon as possible, such a Brother Chengxin is rare, in normal times, he is the unhurried spring breeze man with a gentle smile.

This phone call also broke the delicate atmosphere between me and Ruxue to some extent, so I didn't want to talk about anything more, discussed it, and decided to fly over tomorrow, Ruxue left my room, went to the sixth sister's room, and slept with the sixth sister.

As for the sixth brother-in-law, I can only be wronged tonight and make a bunk downstairs, after all, his room is given to me to live in.

The next day, we said goodbye to the sixth sister and the sixth brother-in-law, bought the earliest air ticket of the day, and rushed to a certain province in the three eastern provinces.

It's a pity that Brother Chengxin's city can't be directly connected to the plane, so we rushed to the nearest city, and then simply chartered a car to go to the city where Brother Chengxin is located.

This is the northernmost city in China, and when I arrived here, I realized how wrong I was, and I went to so many places in vain, because I was in a hurry, I was really unprepared!

When I got here, I realized what it really was cold, and it was too cold.

In October, the weather is slightly cool in many parts of China, and October here is even colder than the coldest winter in my hometown, and it looks like it has already snowed.

So, when Ruxue and I got out of the car, we were shivering with cold, and I quickly found two down jackets that I bought in a hurry in Beijing, and put one on Ruxue first, and then put on another one myself.

In a hurry, I only have these preparations, after all, I have been busy in the past few months, and all the preparations are made by Brother Chengxin, I didn't think about it so much, I didn't expect it to be such a mistake!

The place where Ruxue lives is a warm place, warmer than my hometown of Sichuan, even if she puts on a down jacket, she is still shivering with cold, obviously not suitable for the weather here, I feel distressed, almost without any hesitation, opened his down jacket, from behind, and hugged Ruxue in his arms.

The moment I hugged her, Ruxue's whole body couldn't help but stiffen, and I whispered, "Don't move, I don't mean anything else, I just don't want you to freeze to death." ”

Ruxue's body softened, leaned on me gently, and really didn't move, but he didn't say anything, we stood quietly on the street of this street, because Brother Chengxin said that we wanted to wait for him here.

I don't know if it's the heart is warm, the body is also warm, snuggling like this, the fragrance of snow provokes my breathing, as if I am indulging in her world, the wind outside, the cold outside, during that period of time, I can hardly feel it.

I hope that time can pass more slowly, and then slowly, but after less than two minutes, a chuckle came not far away, I saw that it was Brother Chengxin leaning on the street lamp next to the street, looking at us with a smile, seeing that I noticed his existence, he said apologetically: "Chengyi, I'm really sorry, I don't want to interrupt you, but I don't make any noise, I'm afraid that you will stand on the side of the street like this until you are old, and you won't move if you freeze to death." ”

I made a helpless and annoyed expression at Brother Chengxin, and then, I felt that my chest was empty, and Ruxue had walked out of my arms, and my whole person only reacted at this time, my whole body was already cold and my hands and feet were a little stiff.

"Let's go, let's go back to my rented house." Brother Chengxin was dressed like a bear, and he didn't seem to be able to bear the cold, so he hurriedly urged us.

Ruxue and I hurriedly followed his footsteps, and I asked as we walked: "It's good to live in a hotel, why do you want to rent someone else's house?" ”

"Isn't that something is wrong, that things have changed? I'll tell you more about it when I get back. Brother Chengxin replied to me quickly, just like me, as soon as he spoke, a big drum of white gas came out of his mouth, it was freezing cold, and it was only mid-October.

"But why didn't you say it earlier, it's in the old forest here, and I also said that it was enough to prepare some down jackets, but it turned out that it hadn't entered the mountain yet, and it was so cold." Actually, I didn't want to complain about Brother Chengxin, but I couldn't help but look at Ruxue's face that was red from the cold.

"Let me tell you, I also arrived in this province only the day before yesterday, and I only arrived in this city yesterday, do you believe it?" Brother Chengxin helped his glasses, looking very helpless, and said to me.

This thing is a little strange, but the weather is cold, and I don't want to stay outside here longer, so I didn't ask more, just followed Brother Chengxin silently on the way! I just hope to be able to go into a warm house sooner.

―――――――――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――――――――――――

In the north, there is usually heating, and when you enter the house, it is like spring, completely different from the cold weather outside.

As soon as I entered the house, Brother Chengxin poured two cups of hot water and handed them to me and Ruxue, I and Ruxue held the hot water, and drank several sips to warm up our bodies, which also noticed that Brother Chengxin's rented house was good, with two bedrooms and one living room, and it was clean, but the living room was full of parcels, which seemed to be Brother Chengxin's things.

After discovering that I had noticed those packages, Brother Chengxin said: "Fortunately, I still have buddies in the north, who just delivered them this afternoon, and we need to use them in the old forest, otherwise, we will wait to be frozen to death in the mountains." ”

At this time, I completely relieved my breath and said, "Haven't you been preparing for a long time? Why does this seem to be in such a hurry? ”

Brother Chengxin glanced at me, didn't speak, then picked up something, threw it on the sofa in the living room with a 'bang', and then slammed the door shut, before saying to me: "You leave the eye of heaven open to prevent something from eavesdropping." ”

I noticed that Brother Chengxin threw out a small pot just now, and I recognized it at a glance, which was also a kind of Yin vessel, which was fired with special clay, which could be called a soul-nourishing jar, and when I thought of Brother Chengxin's words to open my eyes in the sky, I understood in my heart that he was guarding against ghosts, who else could there be? It's just the old ghost who traded with him in the ghost market.

Ruxue was calm and silent, as if she was staying out of the matter, but I felt that there was something strange about this matter, and it was better to do what Brother Chengxin said, so I opened my eyes.

In fact, this state is nothing, but it is more misty to see things, but it does not affect the conversation.

"Tell me, what's going on?" I leaned back on the sofa, enjoying the warm heating, and the whole person was more relaxed!

"I think there's something wrong with this old ghost, and I've found out that there's something wrong with it in the past few days, and I'm always secretive, like squeezing toothpaste, squeezing a little, talking a little, and I feel like it's hiding something from me, so I'm telling you something is wrong on the phone." Brother Chengxin's words were simple, and he told me the general idea of the matter first.

But he didn't feel heavy in his conversation, because he still had the mind to fiddle with a saucepan in the room to taste whether the contents were cooked!

The pot was stewed with large pieces of meat, white vegetables, even if I didn't know it again, I knew that it was a sauerkraut unique to the north, plus vermicelli, it was stewed to the full, and as soon as he opened the lid of the pot, the room was full of aroma.

Brother Chengxin had a piece of white meat wrapped in his mouth, and said to me inarticulate while sighing: "It's wrong, but I'm not worried, where can the transaction in the ghost market be fake, then the old ghost should still honestly take us to find ginseng." It's just that"

Speaking of which, Brother Chengxin had already swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth, and said to me and Ruxue: "The Northeast is stewed, the heat is just right, the flavor is good, and the stew is soft, come, eat it while it's hot, let's talk while eating." ”

Northeast cuisine, to be honest, I haven't eaten how authentic, Brother Chengxin said, I couldn't hold it back, and sat around with Ruxue, Brother Chengxin had already set up a small bench, and also prepared the dishes and chopsticks, handed them to me and Ruxue, and then turned off the fire, and said: "Eat like this, it's hot!" Wait until it's cold, add some water, and then turn on the heat and eat again. I think this Northeast cuisine is good, the portion is full, the taste is heavy, the Northeast sauce is too fragrant, this is a man's paradise, eat meat in large pieces, and drink wine in a big net. ”

Brother Chengxin is really a foodie, when it comes to eating, I have long forgotten where the point is, I am very hungry, I can't care about the hot, I even ate two bites, a large piece of meat, full of flavorful sauerkraut, plus the flavor of the sauce, it is really delicious and smooth, but I still don't forget to remind Brother Chengxin: "You say the point." ”

Brother Chengxin unhurriedly took out a wine bottle, unscrewed the lid, handed it to me, and then said: "The point is, our action to find ginseng essence this time may not be as simple as we think, the old ghost who squeezed toothpaste told us that we can only enter the mountain in November, because there is an important place, it is not clear, anyway, we must go in when it is cold." I can tolerate this, what I can't stand is that it still tells me to avoid some people? ”

I took a sip of wine, no different from the burning knife that Brother Yuanyi brought to the cemetery, as soon as I drank it, it was hot from my throat to my stomach, and after relieving my strength, I asked, "Why?" What does it mean? ”

Before Brother Chengxin could answer, I heard a voice coming, a typical 'ghost talk', as if it was directly in your head.

"What are you doing? huh? Leave me out again, you can't! ”

Funny, I can't help but laugh, this dare is still an old ghost in the Northeast?
