In the end, Lu Shanmin still didn't bring Liu Ni with him. It was hard to say whether he could fill his stomach when he went to the city this time, let alone bring a fourteen-year-old girl with him. Lu Shanmin told Liu Ni that he would come back to pick her up after he had established a firm foothold in the city. In the end, the little girl had no choice but to accept it with tears in her eyes.
Before leaving, Lu Xun gave all the 5,000 yuan he had saved over the years to the Lushan people. The Lushan people did not refuse. The people in the mountains are self-sufficient in food and do not need to buy anything all year round. Money is more money. The young ones are living the same life, with the branch secretary and village chief taking care of them, and Lao Huang living next door, there is no need to worry about grandpa having no money to spend. It was my first time traveling far away, and I knew nothing about the outside world. It was undoubtedly much safer to bring some money with me.
I originally wanted to give Liu Ni a thousand yuan to pay for junior high school, but Xiao Nizi refused, saying that studying gave her a headache, and she had decided not to study and would go to school in the future. Shan Daxing took care of his grandfather for him and waited for him to come back to pick her up. The people in the mountains were stubborn, so Lu Shanmin didn't force him anymore.
When I left Mazui Village, there was a huge difference from when Bai Ling left. Only two people and one dog arrived at the entrance of the village. Among them, Daoyi came to see him off, which surprised Lu Shanmin. This old stickman who he had beaten since childhood was standing dozens of meters away, looking at him and giggling. For the first time, Lu Shanmin felt that this old magician was not so annoying. He nodded to him and smiled slightly. The old magician laughed so happily that he even bent over.
The girl with braids held Lu Shanmin’s hand tightly, with tears in her eyes. Xiao Huang bit Lu Shanmin's trouser leg and whined.
Lu Shanmin touched Liu Ni's head lovingly, kicked Xiao Huang away, put his bag on his back, and walked towards the distance.
When he came to town and got on the old minibus for the first time, Lu Shanmin did not look back at the way he came. Since he had chosen the front, there was no need to look back.
The car was full of people. Some of them, like the Lushan people, carried their bags and went to the city to work. There were also cadres from the town government who went to the county for business, but most of them were dealers who came to the city to sell mountain specialties. The aisle of the bus was filled with large and small baskets containing wild mushrooms from the mountains, Chinese herbal medicines, and pheasants and roe deer.
The minibus was bumpy on the road for four or five hours. When we arrived at Luliang County, it was already dark.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Shanmin couldn't help but frown. The air was filled with the smell of decay, which was far from as fresh as the air in the mountains.
Looking around, I didn’t see the tall houses with dozens of floors that Bai Ling said, nor did I see the feasting and feasting that Bai Ling said. The ground at the station was full of potholes made by long-distance buses. There were various plastic bags, instant noodle boxes, and cigarette butts everywhere on the ground, which mixed together to emit a stench.
The passengers who got off the bus carried their belongings on their shoulders and scattered around, leaving Lu Shanmin standing there blankly, feeling inexplicably confused and lonely in the empty station. , this kind of confusion and loneliness, even if I went into the mountains to hunt before,Spending the night in the mountains has never been so intense.
"Little brother, are you staying in a hotel?"
The speaker is in his fifties, smiling and enthusiastic, holding a cardboard in his hand with accommodation written on it Two big characters.
In the past, in the mountains, the old magic stick often talked about how sinister the people outside the mountains were. However, Lu Shanmin never took the old magic stick’s words seriously. Seeing the enthusiastic middle-aged uncle, Lu Shanmin once again felt that what the old bastard said was completely nonsense. At the moment when I don't know where to go, a kind and enthusiastic man appears.
"How much does it cost per night?"
"Fifty, it's cheap enough. This is definitely the cheapest hotel in this area."
Lu Shanmin frowned Head, it's a bit expensive. Fifty yuan is enough for a month's worth of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the mountains. "Can it be cheaper?"
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he stamped his foot. "Little brother, it looks like this is your first time in the city. It's not easy to go out, so I'll make the decision privately. If I'm 40, the boss will deduct my salary."
Although Lu Shanmin is still It's too expensive, but it's my first time in the city and I'm not familiar with the place. The people in front of me look sincere. He nodded and said, "Lead the way."
After twists and turns, passing through several dilapidated and dim alleys, we arrived at the hotel the man mentioned. The room was only four to five square meters in size, with no windows on all sides. The shabby single bed was covered with a wooden board covered with moldy cotton wool. After looking at the room, the man thought that Lu Shanmin would be dissatisfied, but he was relieved when he saw that Lu Shanmin's face was calm and not unhappy at all. Lu Shanmin put down his backpack, took out forty yuan and handed it to the middle-aged man. The man smiled coquettishly, with a sly look in his eyes. "You go to bed early, and I won't disturb you."
Besides being in the mountains, this was the first time Lu Shanmin spent the night outside, and he was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Bai Ling said that the county is resplendent everywhere, but for Lushan people, the air here is far less fresh than in the mountains, and the environment here is not necessarily better than in the mountains.
The destination this time is the East China Sea. I heard that it is the largest city in China. There are tens of millions of people living in the city. The people of Lushan cannot imagine that there is a city that can accommodate tens of millions of people. How big is it? Mazui Village has a radius of dozens of miles. It is already very large, with a permanent population of only eight or nine hundred people. This is just in a small county town, and the people of Lushan already feel a little confused and at a loss. Thinking of the East China Sea, they can't help but feel a little uneasy.
While Lu Shanmin was tossing and turning, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Brother, help me, please open the door." A panicked female voice came from outside the door.
Lu Shanmin got up, put on his clothes and opened the door. A girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old with a panicked expression jumped into the room and closed the door with a bang.
Lu Shanmin looked at the girl carefully. She was a bit delicate, and her face was full of fear.
Just as he was about to ask her who she was, the girl quickly made a silent gesture, and then there was a burst of sound outside the door.The footsteps stopped at the door, and Lu Shanmin pulled away the girl standing behind the door.
"Bang", the already old door was kicked open, and three young men entered in response. Lu Shanmin frowned and looked at the three people who rushed in. The three of them were wearing black vests and had tiger and leopard tattoos on their arms. One of them had his hair dyed blonde.
The yellow-haired man looked at the mountain people with a smile, like looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Lu Shanmin glanced at the girl, and a wry, apologetic smile flashed across her face. As soon as the girl entered the door, three men kicked open the door of her room accurately. Lu Shanmin was an excellent hunter. He had set traps for prey in the mountains countless times. Unexpectedly, he fell into someone else's trap just after he came down from the mountain. The trick.
"Boy, you are very brave, you dare to seduce my wife"
Lu Shanmin silently walked to the bed and took out the five thousand yuan he had with him from his bag. The three men's eyes suddenly shone with golden light, and one of them said loudly and without any scruples, "Hey, my luck is really not that good today. I can't tell that this bumpkin dressed like a country bumpkin is still a big fat sheep."
Lu Shanmin glanced at the three of them indifferently, slowly pulled out three pictures, paused, shook his head and put back one. Then he handed the two hundred yuan to Huang Mao, "Our hunting in the mountains requires three drives to make ends meet. I have to go on the road tomorrow. I don't want to cause any problems, so you can accept it as soon as you can."
Three young men He laughed happily and did not accept the two hundred yuan from Lu Shanmin. Huang Mao tilted his head and said, "Treat us like beggars and obediently hand over all the money you have to avoid unnecessary suffering."
The three of them looked at Lu Shanmin jokingly. Instead of seeing timidity or fear in his eyes, they saw him heaving a sigh of relief.
Lu Shanmin took the two hundred yuan he handed back into his pocket and murmured to himself, saving two hundred yuan
Huang Mao looked at the two people around him in surprise. The man thought he had heard wrongly, and saw that the two men's eyes were also a little confused. Huang Mao cursed him. "Is this kid sick in the head? Why are you standing there? Come on."
Lu Shanmin's calm eyes suddenly burst into cold light. As an excellent hunter, he knew very well that when he met someone in the mountains, When it comes to wild beasts, once they show cowardice, the wild beasts will pounce on them without hesitation. On the contrary, if they show more ferocity than the wild beasts, the wild beasts will not dare to move forward easily. Lu Shanmin does not know that this principle is the same for people. He He just instinctively widened his eyes with a fierce expression.
The two young men who wanted to step forward saw Lu Shanmin's ferocious expression, and they were a little hesitant. However, they are human beings. Lu Shanmin's terrifying expression in the eyes of beasts is a sign of ferocity. In the eyes of the people in front of them, Many others thought he was bluffing.
One of them yelled, "Damn it, you dare to stare at me, see if I don't gouge your eyes out."
The two of them went up and punched and kicked Lu Shanmin all over his body. Suffered up and downThe pewter sticks he endured for more than ten years were not in vain. The originally imagined scene of him rolling on the floor and begging for mercy did not appear as expected. Instead, the hands and feet of the two young men who were beaten were shaking with pain.
The two of them stepped aside and cursed in their hearts, "Isn't it true that they are not made of iron now? Their bodies are so hard."
Huang Mao let out a sigh, "Two useless guys Soft-footed shrimp." He raised his foot and was about to kick Lu Shanmin. Lu Shanmin didn't wait for the opponent to lift his foot completely, stepped forward, and kicked Huang Mao's abdomen with a "bang". Huang Mao let out an ouch and slammed into the door. He squatted on the ground holding his stomach and couldn't speak for a long time.
The other two stood there blankly for a moment. Knowing that they had been kicked onto the iron plate this time, they quickly set up Huang Mao, opened the door and ran out.
The young girl looked at the local people in fear and said "I'm sorry" tremblingly.
Lu Shanmin didn’t even look at her and said, “Get lost.”
In the end, Lu Shanmin still didn’t bring Liu Ni with him. It was hard to say whether he could fill his stomach when he went to the city this time, let alone bring a fourteen-year-old girl with him. Lu Shanmin told Liu Ni that he would come back to pick her up after he had established a firm foothold in the city. In the end, the little girl had no choice but to accept it with tears in her eyes.
