"No, you believe me, he must be doing well." Yan Cheng patted Liu Guohua on the shoulder.

Liu Guohua wiped the corners of his eyes twice, stood up, took the chopsticks again and continued to eat.

Yan Cheng asked Zhao Yan: "How to save, do you have a plan?"

"What kind of plan do you want, call the police over there to bring it to the pot!" Liu Guohua had a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and when he spoke emotionally, the rice in his mouth sprayed with juice, and all the dishes on the table suffered.

Yan Cheng wanted to kick under the table. This dish was ordered according to Zhao Yan's taste, and he hadn't eaten a few bites yet, so he couldn't eat it.Thinking of Liu Guohua's red eyes just now, it's understandable, so I endured it.

Liu Guohua: "I'm sorry, I'm so excited. I'll eat this dish alone. Ah Cheng, you two should order a new table."

"You really don't treat yourself as an outsider." Yan Cheng was planning to do the same.

Zhao Yan: "I'm full, I'm not hungry at all, just order yours, Yancheng."

"How about that, you only took a few bites."

Zhao Yan had to give Liu Guohua a popular science about their specific situation and the current situation of abduction and trafficking.The three of them have nothing to do with this matter, and they don't meet the most basic conditions for filing a case. Don't say that the police won't go with you just based on your two words. Even if the police go, I'm afraid they won't be able to save you. people.

"You understand the situation, so tell me what to do. If you fight, you two stand aside, and I can kick him to death by myself. I just want to kick him with all my energy," Liu Guohua said.

Yan Cheng: "Can you swallow the food in your mouth before talking?"

Zhao Yan told the two of his plans.

Yan Cheng: "I have no objection, I will fully cooperate."

"I don't think sleeping pills should be used, but rat poison." Liu Guohua finally stopped talking with his mouth in his mouth this time.

Yan Cheng and Zhao Yan turned a deaf ear to the obvious venting of emotion rather than rationality.

After dinner, Yan Cheng called the front desk and asked about the location of the hotel's business center.Then he said to Zhao Yan: "I rented a car from the Internet before I came here. In order to match your plan, we have to change it now. There is a computer in the business center of the hotel. Come on, let me go and have a look, pick one and run it vigorously." of."

"I, Acheng, I'm going to see it too. You know I just got my driver's license." Liu Guohua was more concerned about this matter than expected.

The three of them went to the business center, turned on a computer, and went to the car rental website.

Yan Cheng: "How about this one?"

"It's better to pick a black one, it's more concealed at night." Zhao Yan doesn't really know cars, so he can only give advice from this aspect.

Liu Guohua: "Then do I have to buy black clothes? I didn't bring a black top this time. Why don't you lend me one, Ah Cheng?"

He knew that the young master would bring a lot of clothes every time he traveled, and the suitcases were more than twice as big as his.

Yan Cheng: "I'll give you the money, and you can buy a suit yourself." His clothes are only for Zhao Yan to wear.

Yan Cheng ordered another one, and asked Zhao Yan, "How about this one?"

Zhao Yan leaned over to look, but there was no rental price displayed, and the rest could not be understood, "What kind of car is this?"

"Wrangler, I think it's very suitable."

I heard it, it seems to be a big brand, Zhao Yan: "You don't need to rent such an expensive one, as long as you can run mountain roads."

"We don't want to buy one. The price of renting a car is not expensive. If you want to go on mountain roads, you must rent an off-road vehicle. This is not bad."

Zhao Yan was noncommittal, but he still felt that there was no need to rent such a good car.Liu Guohua came over and took a look, "Wrangler, this car is beautiful, look at the wheels, look at this model, it must be very exciting to run, Ah Cheng, this is the one."

Liu Guohua made the final decision.

Yan Cheng quickly finalized the rental intention with the other party. He hung up the phone and said, "We can pick up the car later, Zhao Yan, when will you take me along the way?"

Yan Cheng has never been to their village, and when the time comes, Yan Cheng will have to drive there by himself, so Zhao Yan has to take Yan Cheng for a walk in advance to identify the way.

"If you want to go, you have to go at night. We don't see many new faces in our village all year round. Even if you drive a car like this, even if you don't enter the village, people in Shangtian will be suspicious if they see it. It's twelve o'clock at noon. It takes about four hours to drive from City Z to our village. Yan Cheng, you just arrived from the plane in the morning, so if you go tonight, will you be too tired?"

Zhao Yan didn't want Yan Cheng to be in such a hurry, but today is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, so this matter has to be rushed.He also thought, after this matter is over, invite Yan Cheng to his house for a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.

Yan Cheng: "I'm not tired. I even slept on the plane. If it's too late, I'll stay in your county overnight."

"Then let's pick up the car now, and then you two will have a good rest in the afternoon and keep your spirits up. Let's go after dinner."

Yan Cheng: "Guohua doesn't need to go, I'll be alone if I know the way."

"No..." Liu Guohua and Zhao Yan said in unison.

Then they shut their mouths at the same time, waiting for the other party to speak first.

Liu Guohua: "I have to go. I can only play it by ear when I am familiar with the terrain. If you are tired from driving, I can replace you."

Zhao Yan: "That's what I mean too. I'll go home when the time comes. I'm worried about you walking the mountain road at night in this weather alone on the return journey."

Yan Cheng didn't say anything, he just thought that if he could do without the light bulb, he wouldn't have to carry the light bulb.

……

It is also a rugged and winding mountain road, and the tricycle drives on it with bumps and clangs, but a good car is different, the bumps are basically not felt, and the speed is very fast.The four-hour drive can be shortened by nearly an hour, and this is still on the premise that the speed is deliberately slowed down on snowy roads.Afraid of arriving in the village too early, the three of them stayed in the county for half an hour.

The wind and snow are now smaller than during the day.It was pitch black, dark and silent, with only the headlights illuminating the road ahead, and the wipers on the windshield swung from side to side, sweeping away the snowflakes that kept falling on the glass.

You can hear the whistling sound of the cold wind passing through the valley, and the whistling sound leaves echoes in the valley, which is empty, distant and strange.

The car was not cold at all with the heater turned on, Yan Cheng drove the car very attentively, and Zhao Yan sat in the co-pilot.

Zhao Yan: "Yan Cheng, your driving skills are really good."

"It's not a big deal, I've been on worse roads, and the car is not bad."

Liu Guohua, who was sitting in the back seat, kept wiping off the condensed mist on the window glass and looked outside, "This mountain is really big. If you come during the day, it must be worth seeing."

Zhao Yan: "I think it's good to see it once or twice, because it's fresh. If you grow up here, you won't think so. The bigger the mountain, the more closed."

Yan Cheng turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yan, "But such a big mountain, you still went out and went to T University, it can be seen that it depends on human effort."

Zhao Yan: "Because... because I only know how to read. In our village, a man as old as me is already half of the family's labor force. I seldom do farm work at home. My father left when I was young. Yes,... I owe my mother a peaceful and comfortable rest of my life."

Zhao Yan recalled the previous life, when others went out, but his thought and cognition stayed here, and later, he came back.It is not the footsteps that are imprisoned by the mountains, but the thoughts.In this life, he is witnessing that everything is man-made with practical actions.

Yan Cheng stretched out his right hand and shook Zhao Yan's hand, "You will pay it back."

"I'm about to get the eye of a needle, you two, can you pay attention to the influence, I'm not yet eighteen years old." A certain "I" who claimed to be under the age of [-] couldn't stand it anymore.

"You'd better get used to it, or I won't take you with you in the future." Yan Cheng hit the snake seven inches, hitting the nail on the head, "Also, if I remember correctly, you are 19 years old this year."

Liu Guohua: "Ah Cheng, you can't forget your righteousness when you see sex, and forget your brothers when you have a daughter-in-law."

When approaching the village, the car stopped, Zhao Yan got out of the car and walked towards the village, Yan Cheng found a place to turn around, and the car returned the same way.At eleven o'clock at night, all the lights in the village were turned off, and it was pitch black. Occasionally, two dogs barked from someone's house.

People in the mountains have no nightlife, and it is similar to saying "work at sunrise and rest at sunset".

When he was about to get home, he saw that only his house was lit in the whole village, and the dim yellow light was waiting for those who returned late.He walked over quickly and pushed open the door, his mother came out of the room when she heard the sound of the door, "Yanyan, why did you come back?"

"Mom, why haven't you slept yet?"

"You promised you would come back today. It's so late and you still haven't seen anyone. Mom's heart is in a tizzy. How can I sleep?"

Zhao Yan: "Mom, I'm sorry to make you worry. My classmate's plane was delayed, and the way back was delayed again, so it's late."

The fire in the iron stove in the house has not been extinguished, his mother pulled Zhao Yan to the fire, "It's freezing, you should warm up by the stove first, the rice is still hot in the pot, mom will serve it for you .”

"Mom, I've eaten, go to bed, it's late."

……

The next day, the snow cleared, but the sky was still gloomy.

After breakfast, Zhao Yan carried a plastic bag of fruit, including apples and oranges, and went to the house next door.

The weather was bad, it was cold in the yard, and the house next door had just had breakfast, so everyone was in the house, surrounded by the iron stove.

His uncle was smoking an after-dinner cigarette, and the smoke was lingering.

"Uncle, this is the fruit sent by my classmate from the city. I heard from my mother that last time my car broke down and you helped to fix it. Thank you."

His uncle's brown-yellow face showed vertical and horizontal grooves, and his teeth were black and yellow from the dry smoke, with vegetable dregs sticking to them.

"As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you help me, you can thank your own people. After the research, you will be successful, and the uncle can follow along." Saying this, he glanced at his son, who was doing nothing but doing nothing. "If your eldest brother can be half as good as you, even if the uncle is dead now, he will still be grateful to Lord Yan."

His eldest brother didn't like to hear this kind of talk the most, so he stood up angrily on his crutches, and when he got down on the crutches, the bench he was sitting on just now flew out, and hit the door with a "bang".Facing his father: "If you have the ability to give birth to one, you can only give birth to a cripple like me who can't do a fart."

This sound scared and cried the child who was holding her mother's leg in the kitchen. The woman was washing dishes in the kitchen.

After his elder brother finished speaking, he went to the room with a cane.His uncle hated iron but not steel, and was very angry.His eldest aunt chased him into the room to coax his son.

Zhao Yan: "Uncle, you can't say that. Brother can make tofu, but I can't."

Zhao Yan took an orange and peeled it, then went into the kitchen to coax the child, "Come on, don't cry, brother will give you an orange."

The child stopped crying when he saw the orange in Zhao Yan's hand, and still hugged her mother's leg tightly without letting go.

"Sister-in-law, this child really clings to you." Zhao Yan deliberately said it in vernacular for people outside to hear.

"Sometimes she clings to her grandma."

Zhao Yan: "You and elder brother must hurry up and give uncle a grandson."

Zhao Yan squatted down and fed the child two slices of oranges, then handed the peeled oranges to the child's little hand.

When he stood up, he stuffed the sleeping pills and a note hidden in his cuff into the child's fucking pocket.

From the outside, he just made a very casual gesture of standing up.
