Chapter Seventy-Three: Chengdu Luoma City
Old man Jiang is undoubtedly a man of action, this lunch just said that he was going to Chengdu, after lunch, he and I simply packed up some things and prepared to go. ()
"Master, what should I do with the things in the small room?" I'm a little worried.
"You don't have to worry about this, who can find this place? Found it, he can't wander out of this bamboo forest! Besides, the people here are simple, and I'm not worried. Take 10,000 steps back, if someone really stole something, I have my own way to get it back. Old man Jiang was not worried at all.
Since he said that there is a way, then there is a way, so I won't ask more, and the two of them have nothing to clean up, so they brought a change of clothes and went out very single.
I went to my house first, and when I got home, my dad was home alone.
"Master Jiang, have you brought the three babies here? Mom went to Zhou's house to help take a look, do you know that the widow has been gone for three years this week, leaving an orphan although there are uncles and aunts to watch, or I'll call her back, and we'll have a good meal in the evening? "As soon as my dad saw us enter the door, he went on and on.
Since Widow Zhou left three years ago, my mother often goes to help, after all, the old family on Tuesday, the young, my mother thinks that the previous things, this heart always remembers their family.
"Xiuyun is a good person, don't call her, we have to leave immediately, I came down this trip to tell you that the money may be a few days late to give you, I will take the three children to Chengdu, and I will give it when I come back." Old man Jiang waved his hand to stop my dad from being busy.
My dad was holding a water scoop in his hand at the time, and when he heard the words of the old man Jiang, he was so shocked that the water scoop almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly asked: "This is good, what are you doing in Chengdu?" ”
"Something." Old man Jiang replied simply, I didn't dare to speak next to me, old man Jiang had already greeted me on the way down the mountain, and my father was not allowed to say anything when he asked.
"Oh, oh" The reason for going is that the old man Jiang seems to be reluctant to say it, and my dad doesn't know what to ask, anyway, it's always reassuring to hand me over to the old man Jiang, he can only be stunned there, oh twice, he has never been to the provincial capital in his life, and he can't make any suggestions.
"Then let's go, remember to talk to Xiuyun." After the old man Jiang finished speaking, he took me and left.
When I got off the long-distance passenger bus, I was already vomiting all the way to a trance, who would have thought that to go to Chengdu, I had to sit in a car for more than a day?
Speaking of which, we set off the day before yesterday, but we arrived at the county seat the night before yesterday, and only got on the shuttle bus to Chengdu yesterday morning, and we didn't have a train there.
"Useless baby, dirt buns, it's like this when you take a car, and you look like someone who has never been in a car." As soon as he got out of the car, Old Man Jiang's voice was very loud, attracting the eyes of the people around him, what are you doing? Look at the soil buns.
I held the bus, and I really wanted to refute the old man Jiang and said Look at your clothes, I don't know who is the soil bun, but the acid water in my stomach is bubbling up for a while, and I can't speak at all.
I grinded at the station for about ten minutes, until the old man Jiang didn't know where to get a cup of hot water for me to drink, I was a little better, and as soon as I got better, I complained: "You first said the day before yesterday that you had something to do in town, but when you went there and said it was okay, others said to drive us, you don't want it, who doesn't vomit when you take such a far car for the first time?" You just mess with me, and before you get in the car, desperately tell me to eat more, or eat so much."
"Go, go, go, don't be embarrassed here." Old man Jiang saw that people were looking over again, and hurriedly pulled me away.
As soon as I got out of the station, my head was dizzy, not that the reaction to the train just now was not good, but was 'frightened' by the bustle and bustle outside the station, the Chengdu accent was soft and gentle, we stood there for a while, and an aunt who sold boiled bread came over.
"Buy some bread grains to eat, uncle, freshly cooked, very fresh."
Listening to the voice, my whole body was soft, and in such a big place, I was timid for no reason, and I hid behind the old man Jiang, but the old man Jiang smiled, coped with it easily, bought two buns of grain, inquired about the way by the way, and led me away.
"Master, where are we going later?" Baogu is fresh and delicious, I happen to vomit empty stomach, but I am very happy to eat, but in such a big city, there are cars running on the road, there are high-rise buildings on both sides that I have never seen, and the flow of people is overwhelming, I always feel very uncomfortable, and I hold on to the old man Jiang tightly, for fear that I will be lost.
"Say you're a bun, you still don't admit it? If you want to go to Beijing like this, you have to stand at the train station and cry? What is this? Chunxi Road is only lively, if it weren't for something, I would like to take you to see it. There's a lot to eat in Chengdu, no, I'm done with this, I have to take you to eat. "Old man Jiang said a lot of things, but he didn't say where to take me.
But I'm also a foodie, and when I heard about the food, my eyes lit up, and I quickly asked, "What do you have to eat?" Is it tasty? ”
"There are more, Zhong Shuijiaoer, Lai Tangyuaner, Dandan noodles, egg baked cakes, and there are a lot of dragons, and they are delicious." Old man Jiang swallowed saliva as he spoke, and as soon as he swallowed his saliva, he took a big bite of bread of grain.
I also tried my best to nibble on the bread to satisfy my hunger, and after a long time, I asked, "Master, where are you going?" ”
"Mule and Horse City." Old man Jiang said simply.
I don't know why Master brought me here, but after a few bus transfers, I was already stunned by the 'grandeur' of Chengdu.
I wrote a small guest house, and Master and I washed up briefly, and I was a little hungry, so I asked about eating.
Old man Jiang said, "Don't be busy eating, let's go to the teahouse first." ”
"Master, is this a high-class life in a big city? Drink tea before eating? Or drinking tea and eating in a teahouse? "I was thinking about what Master told me about food on the way, and my heart was like a cat scratching, and I hadn't even heard of those things, let alone eaten.
"You know how to eat, I'm taking you to do business, originally I wanted to go to the town, contact a person, let him help me contact a Hong Kong buyer, and then meet in this provincial capital, but the things in Hong Kong are circulating too fast, I don't allow him to buy what to do, in case it falls into the hands of knowledgeable foreigners, I don't have a solid heart, I think since I want to sell, I should sell to a Chinese I look like." Old man Jiang said.
I let out an 'oh' and said to myself, no wonder my master came to town and said that something was wrong, and then said that it was okay: "Why didn't that one come in their car?" "Don't mention the air of the bus, it makes me vomit, and my heart is haunted.
"I don't want to be so public, your baby has remembered for me, you will always have to go to the 'rivers and lakes' by yourself in the future, don't be public, you know?" Old man Jiang said very seriously.
He usually speaks with this expression, that is, I am not allowed to ask why, but when it must be carried out, I nod my head, indicating that I remember, not to make a statement.
"Let's go to the teahouse." Old man Jiang changed into clean clothes and led me out, and I didn't ask why I went to the teahouse, because I would naturally know when the time came.
There are many teahouses in Luoma City, and when I go out, the master holds my hand and walks very familiarly, but there are many teahouses and tea stalls on the roadside, but he does not stay.
"Master, isn't this all a teahouse?" I'm curious.
"Hey, what do you know? This jade, there are two kinds of people whose eyes are the most poisonous, one is a senior expert who belongs to the country, and the other is the heir of the jade family who is specially poured by the people. This is exactly the kind of family heirloom in this mule and horse market, you know? ”
He didn't answer my question directly, but I got used to it, so I simply shook my head and said I didn't know, and listened to him.
"This mule and horse market, it's like this on the surface, but what's it secretly? It is an underground trading market for gold, silver and jade, and some shady things are also circulated through here, and there are also people sitting in these teahouses and tea stalls, but their grade is not enough, and they can't recognize my things. Old man Jiang said casually.
"What is the thing that can't see the light?" I'm curious.
"It's like something from a grave."
