"Well," I nodded and walked forward with Yi Genjin. After I walked out of more than ten meters, I looked back at Huang Xianer and Bai Mei-er. They were often caught by black and white, and they were watching me and Yi Genjin with black and white. I really didn’t like it in my heart. This was the last time I took a look at them. I will never see them again when I turn around.
——－－－－——————－－－－－
Yi Genjin and I headed straight for the Sino-Russian border. This trip was doomed to loneliness and tragedy. Yi Genjin and I will face an unknown ending. My beloved wife doesn’t know where she is suffering. For me, every minute is suffering now. Now I really want to see Xiaolian immediately and take a look at her moving face and feel her cold body like innocent girl. I gently call a dog brother in my ear.
The more I think about it, the more anxious I am to see Nellie. Although I know it’s an act of God, missing Nellie makes me stop thinking about heaven. I want to see Nellie spend her last time with her again.
I took the train to the Sino-Russian border with Yi Genjin, and I kept a low profile. After all, I am an escaped prisoner. Although I don’t even know what I did wrong, it is a fact that I escaped from prison. It is also a fact that I have a daughter-in-law who killed someone. It is these cruel facts that destroy my beautiful vision for the future.
I didn’t talk much with Egan Jindu all the way. Egan Jindu is a person who loves to talk and laugh, but he also saw that I was depressed and didn’t talk to me much. Although Egan Jindu wasn’t with me every day, we had a deep understanding of each other for more than a year.
There were a lot of people on the train. Yi Genjin and I tried our best to keep a low profile and didn’t dare to be too ostentatious. We didn’t say anything all the way. After bumping all the way, Yi Genjin and I finally got to the Sino-Russian border. After we got on the train, we bought some food and drink in front of the train and walked in the direction of Mohist countries by memory.
When Yi Genjin was at home, Yi Genjin figured out for me that the approximate location of Xiaolian was not far from Mohism. Although we have been to Mohism for the first time, I can’t remember it clearly after many days. After all, few people know about the mysterious city.
It’s certainly easier to find Master next to us next time, but it’s not easy for me and Yi Genjin to find the hidden king city again this time. Let’s go forward by memory. It’s a good place to escape from the police because it borders Russia with a vast population and a large number of migrants. I only found out here that Xiaolian was really smart and was chased by the police. It’s really a good place to take refuge.
Yi Genjin and I packed the food and some things into a big bag. Yi Genjin put the bag behind his back and walked with me to Mohism. Although I couldn’t find the exact location of Mohism, the general direction was unmistakable.
When I was walking, I asked Yi Genjin, "Xiaojin, do you want to calculate where a lotus might be hiding now?"
Yi Genjin shook his head and said to me, "Brother Dog, I didn’t hit you. This calculation can probably measure which range of people is fine. After all, we are not immortals!"
I think it’s good to be able to measure the vicinity of Xiaolian Mohism. It’s better than looking for a needle in a haystack. I want to revisit many old places. I think of those thrilling things that happened in Mohism. My heart can’t be calm for a long time. I think of Xue Jinhua, the girl who has always been infatuated with me. Now she is the king of Mohism. After knowing that I am in trouble, she led a team to come out from Mohism to help me. Anyway, I owe her a favor. To be exact, I still owe her an emotional debt. The most difficult thing is the debt between men and women.
I don’t know what happened to Xue Jinhua now. If she wasn’t so infatuated with me, I would really like to visit her in Moxi again. But now my most urgent wish is to find Nellie immediately. Besides, I can’t see Xue Jinhua, so she will haunt me more.
It’s not that my heart is as hard as stone, but that I can’t give Xue Jinhua anything. I have Nellie in my heart and I can’t hurt and deceive Xue Jinhua.
Yi Genjin and I walked along the deserted path, thinking about all these things in my heart. Before I came here, I was still full of confidence. With Yi Genjin’s calculation, I would easily find Nellie when I got here. Who knew that when I got here, I found that the land was vast and sparsely populated, and I couldn’t find the entrance of Mohican countries because of my memory roots. Nellie was close to Mohican countries, so I couldn’t find Nellie, which made me and Yi Genjin a little crazy.
"Brother Dog, we didn’t go this way when we came here, did we?" Yi Genjin was already tired at this moment. He walked in front of me. At this time, he turned around and wiped his sweat. Some nai asked me
I looked at the strange environment around me and made sure that we had never been here before. Now I can’t remember where I went when I came, and I became a road idiot like Egan Jin.
"I don’t think I forgot my way here. There was a master and his old man’s house. It’s up to us this time," I said
Yi Genjin looked at me and put my bag behind him. He sat down on the ground. It seems that he was really tired just now. At this time, Yi Genjin couldn’t say anything. He sat down and rested.
I was so tired that my legs went limp and I sat beside Yi Genjin. I said, "Xiaojin, it’s not the way for us to walk like this. We have to find someone to ask where this is."
Yi Genjin nodded and said, "If we ask about Mohism, it is estimated that no one will know, but we still have to find a place to stay, otherwise it will be a problem for us to stay anywhere late."
Yi Genjin and I discussed sitting and resting for a while and then walked forward.
Chapter 27 Weird old man
When I was at home on the Sino-Russian border, I heard that there are many fugitives here. Many people have committed crimes and run here. It is simply a gathering place for fugitives with murders.
Yi Genjin and I took turns carrying the parcel behind us until it was getting late and finally found a place where people lived. There were two low-rise houses in front of us, which were surrounded by mountains and rivers. I didn’t know that there was still an extraordinary master living here, and he lived in seclusion here.
Yi Genjin and I were overjoyed when we saw the houses in front of us. Now we are both tired. If we don’t find someone’s place before dark, we will have to camp out in the wild at night. At this time, the excitement of seeing these two houses in front of us is different from seeing an oasis in the desert.
Yi Genjin excitedly pointed his hand at the front and said to me, "Look at someone in front of Brother Dog!"
Of course, I also saw this happiness in my heart. I’ve been unlucky for more than a year, and it’s finally getting better. Does this mean that I have hope that I can find Xiaolian soon?
I was thinking in my heart that when people were unlucky, they always wanted good things. At this time, Yi Genjin and I also had the strength to walk quickly to the two rooms
It’s getting dark. The chimney of this family is smoking black smoke. It seems that there is someone in the house. Yi Genjin and I walked to the door of the house. At this time, the door was tightly closed. I don’t know what the owner of this house looks like. It’s always a boy or a girl, but now I can’t consider so much. Try to stay in his house for one night and ask him about the situation here by the way.
When Yi Genjin arrived at the front of the house, he was about to push the door and go in. I stopped him and rushed in like this. How to say it is not polite? It’s a place and a custom. Who knows what a habit it is here.
I went to the door and knocked on the door gently. An old voice came from the door and said, "Who’s coming in?"
As soon as I heard that this was an old man talking, sliding door and Yi Genjin went in together and saw an old man in his sixties and seventies squatting in front of him, burning a stove in front of the stove pit, and the cauldron was steaming out to see that the old man was making a fire to cook dinner.
The old man was a little surprised when he saw me and Yi Genjin. He was the only family in Fiona Fang for dozens of miles. I think he rarely saw people now. Two strangers, Yi Genjin and I, suddenly appeared in front of him and immediately froze him.
"Where are you from?" The old man squatted down and looked at me and Yi Genjin without getting up.
"Uncle, we came here from Jilin. It’s getting dark. I want you to stay here for one night. Is it ok for you?" I said politely to the old man.
Although the old man is a little older, he seems to be deaf and deaf. It’s very polite to listen to me. The old man looked at me for a while before saying, "Well, there’s no one else in my family. I’m the only dry old man. You can stay here for one night."
"That will trouble you." I listened to the old man and readily agreed. I was very happy to take a few steps inside with Yi Genjin.
At this moment, the old man got up and pointed his hand into the back room and said to me and Egan Jin, "You can go to the advanced room and rest. Don’t be polite. My old man didn’t say that much."
Yi Genjin and I thanked him again and again and went in along the house pointed out by the old man. The house was very messy and smelled moldy. If it weren’t for this old man’s field, I would hardly imagine that there were people living here.
After Egan Jin and I entered the house, the old man closed the door and went back outside to cook. Egan Jin then looked at me and said to me, "Brother Dog is so weird!"
I was surprised and asked him, "What’s weird about it?"
"Look, Brother Dog, he is the only family here. How can he live here alone? At least he should live in a village?" Yi Genjin said to me seriously with a grim expression.
I smiled and said to him, "I didn’t expect you to be so suspicious. It’s so sparsely populated here. We haven’t seen a figure all the way. It’s normal for the old man to live here alone."
After listening to my words, Yi Genjin was otherwise. He shook his head and said to me, "I don’t know what’s wrong, just that something is wrong with this old man."
Egan King Kong said here that the old man suddenly came into the room from the outside with a sliding door. Egan Jin said that he quickly shut up. Just now, I spoke to Egan Jin in a low voice. The old man should have heard nothing. After seeing the old man enter the room, his eyes with holes looked at me and Egan Jin and said, "Come and eat together when the meal is ready."
Yi Genjin and I are really hungry, but it’s already embarrassing to disturb others here. Seeing that the old man’s family is not very good, I’m really embarrassed that he eats here, so I said to the old man, "Uncle, we will bring our own food, so we won’t bother you."
The old man listened to some simple and honest smiles and said to me, "What can you do when you bring food? Come on, there is enough food."
Seeing that the old man sincerely invited me and Yi Genjin to refuse, he followed him out of the house and into the kitchen.
It’s a shabby kitchen. On one side of a corridor, there is a kang table with a big pot to cook and cook. The old man put the food out and set the table to greet me to have dinner with Yi Genjin.
Although the old man doesn’t have too many pleasantries, he is very enthusiastic, which makes me and Yi Genjin warm in my heart. Although Yi Genjin has doubts about this old man, he doesn’t see people’s enthusiasm, and his views on this old man have also changed greatly.
It’s true that the old man’s cooking is very crude and rough, and it’s not too bad to talk about. Eating bran when hungry is as sweet as honey. Now it’s also very sweet for me and Yi Genjin to eat the old man’s cooking.
The old man says very little, and I want to have a chat with him. By the way, I would like to ask where this place is. Maybe the old man will know something about Mohism, and it would be great if he could know which direction Mohism is. However, the old man deliberately avoids it whenever he meets my eyes, which makes me very confused.
When I saw that I didn’t have a chance to talk to him, I just stopped asking for trouble. We were both tired and hungry. I ate two bowls of rice in one breath, and Egan Jin ate four bowls. Fortunately, the old man added more when he saw us coming to cook, otherwise it would not be enough for him.
When the old man saw that we had finished cleaning the table, I couldn’t help asking him, "Where is your home, uncle?"
The old man suddenly paused when he heard my sudden question. He slowly raised his head with a pair of yellow eyes and looked at me and said slowly, "I don’t know where this place is. I have lived here for decades and I have never seen a single person."
After the old man finished this sentence, my heart suddenly sank, and now I have a bad feeling. I think of Yi Genjin’s speech in the room just now. He said that the old man was not quite right, and I was not impressed. But after listening to the old man finish this sentence, I also found that the old man did have a problem. How can he live for decades but say that he can’t come to the place name? Besides, he hasn’t seen a figure in decades. Isn’t that too exaggerated?
Although I decided that the old man was a warm-hearted and good man first, when I look at him at the moment, I think there is something really wrong with him. I can’t think of anything at the moment. I think he is as strange as Yi Genjin said
When the old man saw me, wait for a while looked at him and immediately lowered his head to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. The atmosphere in my room was suddenly embarrassed. I found that the old man seemed to be deliberately avoiding something, as if he was afraid to look at me and Yi Genjin, which made me feel very confused.
The old man unhurriedly packed the dishes and chopsticks before he got up and said to me, "You two can live in Westinghouse, and I’ll sleep in the East Room." He simply finished and walked to the East Room alone, no longer looking at me and Yi Genjin.
Yi Genjin and I gawked at the old man’s back until his body disappeared. From the moment I saw the old man, there was an indescribable feeling that the old man’s personality was too strange to be understood.
Yi Genjin and I saw the old man come into the room and wanted to get something out of him. Now, we might as well go back to Westinghouse to prepare for a night’s rest and then look for Nellie.
This time, after I entered the west room, I took a closer look at the old man’s house. I didn’t look around by candlelight. This room is a mess. It should be a long time since no one cleaned the kang. It’s not very cold. Besides, it’s summer. It’s not a problem to sleep on this kang for one night.
It’s already more than ten o’clock in the evening. Egan Jindu and I are very sleepy and ready to have a good rest. At this moment, Egan Jindu said to me, "Brother Dog, I don’t think this old man is normal!"
I didn’t refute Egan Kinyin this time. From the observation just now, I think this strange old man is more than just a quirk. There seems to be something hidden in his eyes and he deliberately avoids us.
