Listening to the noise of people around me made me feel a little disgusted, but my hunger finally made me accept the reality.
I ordered a few dishes that looked good at random, and then I sat at the table and waited. At this moment, a middle-aged man with a basket on his back and a dark blue scarf came in.
"I’m sorry, boss, we are full here, or you can go home and have a look?" Although the restaurant owner said it politely, Reagan didn’t show any respect. Could he have seen this man carrying a basket and wearing clothes? He probably guessed that he was a local person, and the attitude of the roadside restaurant hardly made any money from the local person was naturally the same.
I don’t like people like restaurant owners most. It’s just that dogs look down on people. Plus, it seems a little spacious for me to occupy a table alone, so I said, "Come on, boss, let him share a table with me!" "
Before the restaurant owner promised the middle-aged man with a basket on his back, he came straight to my side and put it on the basket. After sitting opposite me, he was not at all polite. He picked me up, poured a glass of beer and drank it directly.
A sudden intuition in my heart tells me that this person may be the one we are looking for this time.
Sure enough, as I expected, the middle-aged man asked after drinking my half bottle of beer, "Sir’s last name?"
I nodded and asked, "Are you the person Mr. Chen called to meet us?"
The middle-aged man didn’t answer my question. After hearing me admit my identity, his face showed a strange look. It took him a long time to answer my question.
"Yes, yes, master Chen asked me to pick you up and take you to that horrible place."
Hearing the middle-aged man admit himself, I waited for a long time and finally waited for him.
"What do you want to eat, eldest brother? It’s my treat today!" I handed the table menu to the middle-aged man with one hand, and took out my mobile phone with the other hand to call Black Ye and them.
"Hey, what’s the matter? Did you wait for someone when you were young? " Black ye answered the words and asked
"Yes, people are coming. We are eating at the restaurant in front of the car. Come here quickly!" I just hung up when I finished.
Because we have some words with middle-aged men that can’t be heard by others, it’s obviously impossible to say these words here.
Chapter 14 Strange Lake
In a short time, Master Hei and Senior Brother rushed over and found us. After that, they looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the same table with me, and his face showed joy.
Perhaps before they said that they would come here and wait for Chen Lao’s introducer to give us a try, they were not sure whether they could really wait for someone.
"You two are Mr. Black and Mr. Xu, right?" The middle-aged man looks a little honest, but in fact he is not stupid at all, just like Batu, which can be said to be all that glitters is not gold.
When Master Hei and Master Brother came, they were obviously not satisfied with this place and immediately said, "Brother, let’s talk in another place!"
As a result, I was left here alone, watching middle-aged people order a table full of food and hardly touched it. It seems that I have been stabbed in the heart and called a wave.
When I was full, there was a big table left. At this time, I remembered that there seemed to be Batu at home, so I packed them all.
When I got back to the hotel, Batu was still in bed. This time, he seemed to be more serious than having a serious illness. The whole person was listless until I got home.
"Let’s eat!" I asked as I began to pack my things and put them on the table.
Who knows Batu quickly covered his mouth and ran into the toilet when he saw the red greasy braised pork?
In the end, Batu didn’t eat anything, vomited in the toilet for a while, and then went back to bed and continued to lie up.
It was not until after four o’clock in the afternoon that Uncle Hei and the others finally came back. It seems that all three of them drank a lot, and they were intimate with each other.
Judging from this situation, I knew that this man would definitely not be able to leave today, so I went to buy him a room.
"Brother, we can keep our word! Don’t worry, if you take us to that place, we will definitely give you the promised two thousand dollars, "said Black Ye, taking out his cigarette and handing it to the middle-aged man."
"The elder brother of the black you can rest assured! We hit it off so well, even if we don’t give me money, I will definitely take you there. But as brothers, I still have to wake you up here. That thing is really no joke. Several people died in our village a month or two ago. "
Black ye smiled and shook his head. "Brother, you can rest assured that we have nothing to do at ordinary times. It is good to be interested in this kind of thing. Since we heard about it, we must go and see it."
That middle-aged man is just an ordinary peasant. Although he is a little cunning, where can he be the opponent of the black master and the master elder brother who cheat people all the year round? In a few words, I was brought by Black Ye. I looked at Black Ye with a full face of worry and stopped talking.
Look at this situation, I know that middle-aged people must have been fooled by the black uncle and really recognized the black uncle as a friend.
The middle-aged man stayed in the hotel that night, perhaps because the rural people got up early. The middle-aged man knocked on our door before five o’clock the next day, and then our party packed up and headed for his village.
Because of the developed tourism industry here, most people have lived in old houses in towns and rural areas, and many people have left. In addition, the village where middle-aged people live is not a big village. We hardly saw anyone when we entered the village.
I also learned that this middle-aged man’s name is Xu Cheng, and he is 41 years old. His family has been farmers here for generations.
But when I asked how Mr. Chen informed him, he immediately turned pale and shook his head hard. He didn’t want to talk about it. Uncle Black quickly told me not to ask and then changed the subject.
Although I no longer ask this question on the surface, I am very confused in my heart, and I feel that this matter is definitely not simple.
Xu Cheng didn’t want to talk about how Chen Lao-tou got in touch with him, and when I asked this question, his face became ugly, which was somewhat abnormal.
We didn’t stop at Xu Cheng’s house. We sent the van to his house and then went to the forest with our bags on our backs.
Because Xu Cheng promised in advance that he would come back after taking us to our destination and would not go deep into the dangerous zone with us, we should be prepared for everything. It is very dangerous without a guide in this virgin forest, not to mention those poisonous beasts. Just getting lost is frightening.
Ok, we will all divide the money a little. Even in the original forest, we can find the general direction with the help of the night, but even so, Uncle Hei and Big Brother went out to buy a lot of things last night and prepared for the worst.
It’s naturally important for us to carry a lot of things. The ordinary place is nothing at all, but it’s a little bit difficult to walk through the forest. All kinds of vines and wooden thorns just walked out for a kilometer or two, which almost exhausted us. This is still the result of Xu Cheng holding a firewood knife in front of him.
Xu Cheng watched us sweating and took some small things from each of us and then gave us the way ahead.
At noon, we found a large flat with no big trees around it. At the end of the flat, there is a crystal clear lake. The lake area is not large, at most, it is two or three square kilometers, and the water is not deep. It is less than 50 centimeters visually.
Although it is winter now, we are already tired and sweaty after a midday trek, and it is warm here all year round, and I can’t feel any chill. After seeing this lake, I didn’t even think about it and ran straight over.
"Don’t go!" Xu cheng behind shouted
But at this time, I have reached the lake and looked at the clear water, wondering that the bottom of the lake looks quiet, there is nothing at all, and the water is clear, so I can see clearly if there is any danger.
For a variety of reasons, I didn’t pay attention to Xu Cheng’s shouting, even without rolling his trousers, and threw his shoes into the water directly.
But at the moment when I jumped into the water, my face suddenly changed. It looked clear and calm. The lake boiled like crazy, and the temperature of the water kept bubbling around, and it quickly became hot.
At the moment when I wanted to get up and climb the shore, I found that the roots at the bottom of the lake were not as close as I saw them. I got up and showed my head, and no one outside could step on the bottom of the lake.
I really panicked, and what I thought at that time was to climb ashore and leave this strange place.
In a few seconds, I already felt that the lake was getting a little hot, and something even more frightening happened to me. Although I swam towards the shore, I was getting farther and farther away from it. It seemed that a strange force was pulling my body towards the middle of the lake.
"Help me!" I looked at Master Brother Lakeside and Batu, the black master, and shouted, I didn’t expect it was me. I didn’t see a panic expression on their faces and didn’t mean to save me. They had a gloating expression on their faces.
