The red haze fills the sky, like countless fiery red flowers blooming in the vast wilderness. This is the afterglow of the setting sun.
The black Wrangler was driving on a mountain road with three sides. The engine roared loudly and the exhaust gas spurted out, leaving two very shallow ruts on the mountain road.
Dr. Lu is heading to Daban to attend Uncle Cai’s forty-fifth birthday party.
Daban is located in the northwest of Xiaomonong. It is a small town of Bomo standing at the foot of the mountain. However, it is far less prosperous than places like Xiaomonong and Daqulin. There is only the Zhuifu River running through it. .
"There is nothing interesting in Daban. If it weren't for Uncle Guai, it would be no different from any ordinary town in the mountains and forests on the three slopes."
"In San Slope, there is no fun place." On the side, many forces like to use Uncle Cai as a mediator."
The Monkey King came to Uncle Cai's birthday party with Lu Ze.
This time is different from the last time he went to Ma Niu Town. Now the Monkey King no longer has to worry that Dr. Caishen will be abducted by Uncle Guai or Xiao Mo Nong’s gambling house, because Dr. Lu is already the whole The talker in Daqulin's gambling house.
The Monkey King simply came to attend the birthday party this time.
Lu Ze looked up at the increasingly dense bamboo forest. Most of the houses in the Daban area were built with bamboo. As long as the bamboo and wood were cut down, one could build a house of his own here.
Lu Ze smiled and said to the Monkey King:
"The people here."
"It seems that they are living well."
< p>Since they entered Daban, they have not encountered any old people or children blocking the car on the road. When Lu Ze and A'Zhu went back to her hometown, they would frequently meet such people. A'Zhu would always prepare some snacks. With bulk rice noodles.The Monkey King said that people here in Daban respect Uncle Cai.
"They know that we are Uncle Guai's guests, so they won't ask for anything from the guests."
After the car made another big turn, the crowds became sparse. You can vaguely see several bamboo buildings standing on the mountainside, which is the destination of Lu Ze's trip.
Uncle Guai’s birthday party was not as grand as Aisuo’s wedding. I heard that only a few guests with similar relationships were invited, so it was quite low-key.
Dr. Lu seems to have been regarded as a friend by Uncle Cai.
Friends?
Lu Ze had a faint smile on his face.
Soon, Dr. Lu arrived at his destination. When the vehicle had just reached the mountainside, the people who came out of the bamboo house to receive him were brothers Dantuo and Maungba.
Dan Tuo had a smile on his face.
"It's Dr. Lu."
"Maungba, please thank Dr. Lu personally later."
But Tuo still remembers Lu Ze last year That casual remark, that seemingly joking remark, saved his brother's life, and Dantuo has always remembered it to this day.
“HappyWelcome Dr. Lu to the arrival class. ”
“Welcome the Monkey King. ”
Lu Ze and the others arrived one day early and were among the first batch of guests.
There were not many people in Daban at this time. Apart from the Dantuo brothers, there were also There was Xigou, a small hatchet, and an oil lamp here, and Shen Xing took Uncle Cai to Xiaomo Nong to handle business.
Lu Ze's eyes fell on Xigou.
< p>Doctor Lu has a smile on his face. Is this the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage?Xi Gou is actually not very old, but his face looks particularly old. The local old man from Bomo wore an overly quaint outfit, and he seemed to be the oldest in the Daban team.
Dan Tuo took Lu Ze for a walk around Daban.
Just as the Monkey King said, this place looks like an ordinary Bomo town. More than a hundred households built huts around the Zhuifu River, and they have lived here for generations. < /p>
“Over there is Uncle Chai’s Buddhist hall. ”
“It is said to be a Buddhist hall, but compared with the Buddhist hall in Aisuo, Manu Town, it is just a small bamboo building. Aisuo came to Daban at the end of last month and told Uncle Cai that he would not continue to cooperate with us. ”
Dantuo’s tone was full of undisguised dissatisfaction.
Because that’s not how business works, Aisuo did this very unethically. He took away all the cold chain trucks and then came to give Uncle Guai a golden Buddha.
“The golden Buddha is really big. ”
“Now it is placed in the Buddhist hall by Uncle Guai. ”
Lu Ze looked towards the Buddhist hall.
Uncle Guai was in the border business. Even the fishmonger Gao Qiqiang could weigh the weight. Uncle Guai actually felt it right away. When it came to the weight of the Golden Buddha, it was just because he still wanted to cooperate with Aisuo that he did not expose this matter.
Dr. Lu felt that this matter would be exposed after this birthday party. Everyone knows.
Lu Ze was treated well in Daqu, but Brother Tuo was grateful to Lu Ze, and Xigou and the others had obviously been reminded by Uncle Guai that they knew something about Lu Ze in Daqu. Lin's rumor was that he was quite polite to Dr. Lu.
At noon, Uncle Guai and the others came back from Xiaomo Nong.
Xia Wenjing came back with Uncle Guai. Maintaining a natural and familiar rhyme, his eyes lit up after seeing Lu Ze.
“Ouch! "
"Hello, Dr. Lu! ”
“When we meet and say hello, all worries will be driven away. If you and I smile, the relationship will be twice as good! ”
Of course the comedian Xia Wenjing also came to attend Uncle Guai’s birthday party.
When Uncle Guai heard this guy’s jingle, he laughed and cursed and kicked Xia Wenjing’s butt twice. The reporter sneaked forward a few meters very wisely.
In Sanbianpo, the threshold for the gray industry is actually very high.
Xia Wenjing was able to gain a foothold in Xiaomo Nong., with the help of Uncle Cai, he managed the Lanqin Gambling House in the suburbs. Although the business was not good, he could at least make a living from the gambling industry.
Uncle Guai smiled slightly at Lu Ze.
"You're here?"
Uncle Guai's tone was kind, as if he was greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. His natural appearance easily made people feel close to each other. .
Lu Ze smiled and nodded.
Shen Xing happily chimed in to say a few words next to Uncle Guai.
Everyone in Daban knows that Uncle Guai likes this small-eyed Shen Xing very much.
Evening.
Uncle Guai prepared a banquet and specially ordered a large table of Cantonese dishes to be cooked. He said he wanted to give everyone a little change of taste today, but everyone knew that he was taking care of the doctor's taste.
All the guests at the birthday party tomorrow will be there.
The fun while drinking can easily bring everyone closer together, and the atmosphere becomes more harmonious. Uncle Guai introduced the Daban staff to Lu Ze, and everyone raised their glasses to toast Dr. Lu.
"There are not many people here."
"Except Soe Win who needs to walk up the mountain and has not come back yet, they are all here."
"It's far inferior to the pomp over Aisuo."
Unsurprisingly, Uncle Guai mentioned Aisuo.
Lu Ze smiled softly and said:
"There are fewer people, but it is quiet and stable enough."
"When there are more people, things will follow. There are more."
The smile on Uncle Guai's face became more sincere, and he clinked glasses with Lu Ze gently.
