    The concierge fell asleep due to drunkenness, but he was just an ordinary person. Master and I did not wake him up. At this moment, he was just a little depressed and continued to drink two glasses of wine.

    It’s hot in summer, and the towns here close to the mountains are better. After all, the mountain breeze brings bursts of coolness, but it’s still a bit oppressive to hold it in the small concierge.

    After finishing a bottle of wine, Master and I were almost done drinking. We simply walked out of the concierge and climbed to the roof of this small house, preparing to make do with it all night.

    Master has always been a person who keeps his worries to himself and is very down-to-earth and can only solve things without worrying too much. After hearing so many things about the small town, he actually climbed up and was blown away by the refreshing mountain breeze.  He soon started snoring next to me.

    This time difference is only two minutes, but I have always been a preoccupied person. Instead, I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about all kinds of things. I simply sat up, lit a cigarette, and stared at the 'splendid' night at the foot of the mountain in a daze.

    It's very brilliant. I'm afraid this is a night that people who have lived in the city will never see again. The twinkling stars seem to be very close to people, and a shining silver belt blends perfectly with the dark night.  It's the Milky Way. Whenever this happens, my thoughts will drift far away, and I will wonder if there is a kind of existence called a cultivator on the stars in the Milky Way?  If so, how far have they gone?

    this world?  How amazing is this universe?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????? After thinking about it for a while, I will laugh at myself again, why do people who are running for four years still show such immaturity sometimes?

    Contrasted with the brightness of the sky is the darkness of this town. Looking around, there is no light in the whole town, which makes it look a bit lonely and lonely. And behind this loneliness there is a kind of darkness that makes people deeply unknown. I don’t know.  Do you know why you think of this sentence?  Instead, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use the word "dead silence" to describe this town?

    Throwing away the cigarette butt, I laughed. In fact, why should I think too much and think about the why of everything?  Master's snoring reminds me that there is a state of life where if this second is quiet, then I will enjoy this second of quiet, as long as I never give up on anything I want to do.

    With Master’s snoring by my side, I felt extremely at ease. I put away my divergent thoughts, closed my eyes and prepared to sleep.

    However, it is not so easy to fall asleep under the snoring. Anyway, after about half an hour, I was still tossing and turning, and finally felt a little sleepy, but suddenly I heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from the depths of the town.  .

    I didn't pay much attention at first, thinking I was hallucinating, but as I got closer, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, making me suddenly sleepless and a little nervous. I subconsciously wanted to wake up Master.  , but then I thought about it and forgot about it. I just pretended to be asleep and lay flat on the roof.

    I was nervous because the situation Master and I were in required people to be on guard, and this town was somewhat mysterious. I didn't wake Master because I didn't feel any danger in my heart, so there was no need to make such a fuss.  , and Master's snoring is still the best cover, at least it won't alert others.

    I can tell that the footsteps were deliberately made very quiet. If you don't pay close attention, you can't hear them at all. But my hearing has always been very good, and the town is too quiet, so I can hear it faintly from before.

    But I don’t know if it’s because my master’s snoring was too loud and carried a long distance, so the footsteps gradually became less cautious.

    Hearing footsteps slowly approaching you in the dark night is actually not a good experience. It is always accompanied by an unknown tension, especially when the footsteps suddenly stop not far from you.  That felt even weirder.

    The visitor was under the door post, and I was above the door post. Because the entire door post was a small, flat room, so when I squinted my eyes, I could probably see a somewhat rickety figure looking at me under the door post.  us.

    My spiritual sense has always been strong, so the feeling of being stared at made me particularly uncomfortable, because that kind of gaze fell on me, as if it turned into a substance and looked at me from top to bottom, which made me  I got goosebumps all over my body.

    However, Master acted as if nothing was wrong and slept more soundly. He even clucked his lips twice while snoring and muttered some nonsense that no one could understand clearly, which made me dumbfounded.

    Perhaps it was because Master was sleeping so deeply that he once again 'encouraged' the visitor. Suddenly, a ray of light hit the place where Master and I were sleeping. I reacted quickly and quickly closed my eyes, breathing steadily, and pretending to sleep.  Very familiar.

    But in my heart I was cursing, who is so shameless?How beautiful?  Use a flashlight to shine someone to sleep.

    The light of the flashlight stayed on my and Master's faces for a while, and then was finally taken away by the person coming. Then I heard a slight sigh. This sigh was melancholy at times, but full of a certain kind of worry.

    Worry?  What are you worried about?  Are you worried about me and Master?  It's obviously impossible. However, I didn't feel any malice from the person coming. I just felt that he was observing us carefully, as if he was confirming something?  Therefore, I gradually became less defensive.

    After staying for about a minute, the visitor turned and left. The sound of slight footsteps reminded me that he was really gone. I couldn't suppress my curiosity and stood up slightly. I took a closer look. Although there was no light,  After all, it was a starry night, and I vaguely saw that the person coming was an old man. Judging from his clothes, he was a Miao from this town.

    Why did he come to observe Master and me in the middle of the night?  I was full of curiosity, but there was no answer. I thought about it for a while and finally fell asleep——

    Dividing line——

    The next day, I woke up very early, when the sky was still bright, because this is a small town after all, and there was heavy dew in the morning, so I was woken up by the coolness of the dew.

    Turning around, I saw that Master was already sitting next to me smoking cigarettes. This leaf was not the kind that Master often smoked. It was just an ordinary cigarette leaf. You shouldn’t pay too much attention to it on the way to escape. It’s good to smoke some.

    "Master, it's so early?" I greeted Master in a daze.

    "We'll talk about it after we go down." The master's face was calm, and he couldn't tell anything. What did he mean by just going down and talking about it?  You obviously have something to say to me.

    But the master didn’t say anything to me and just jumped off the roof. I could only jump after him.

    In the concierge, the Northeastern concierge was still sleeping soundly. Standing outside the door, I heard loud shouts. It was at this time that Master said to me: "Chengyi, go pack your things. Let's go up the mountain now."

    "We're going up the mountain so soon. Is there heavy dew on the mountain this morning?" To be honest, I didn't sleep very well last night. My back and back are sore now. I want to rest in the car for a while.

    Master did not answer my question, but asked me: "Didn't a 'guest' come to see us last night?"

    "Master, do you know?" I was surprised. If I remembered correctly at that time, Master was sleeping soundly. How could he know this?

    "Do you think I really fell asleep? I actually woke up as soon as the footsteps approached, but if I didn't pretend like that, God knows what would happen? This town is not peaceful. Let's leave as soon as possible. In this situation,  It is better to do less than to do more." Master told me this, but there was a flash of inexplicable guilt in his eyes.

    Yes, this is Master’s guilt. I’m not wrong about it, but I’m a little confused. What exactly is Master feeling guilty about?

    But Master didn’t talk much anymore. Instead, he asked me to wash up, eat something, pack up, and prepare to go up the mountain. As for where I want to go on the mountain, I’m afraid only Master knows.

    An hour later, we had everything done. My master and I set out carrying a half-person-high mountaineering bag. There were more professional equipment in it, including a sleeping tent. I wanted to go on the mountain this time.  It should be better than last time, right?

    Because we woke up early, the time was only about 7 o'clock. The concierge was still sleeping, so we set off directly without waking him up.

    After walking out of the government office building, Master and I discovered that this town gets quiet very quickly at night, but it also wakes up very early in the morning. When we walked on the main street of the town, there were already many people on the street.  of pedestrians.

    Just like when we first arrived, these people still looked at us with distant eyes and a somewhat violent feeling. Different from other places, people in this town just looked at us, and no one came up to say anything to you.  .

    I was seen in my heart. Even if I had a good feeling in the Miao people, I couldn't hold the anger that I was so unscrupulous. I wanted to attack several times, but I forcibly pressed down in the mood of unreasonable mood, just bowing my head to walk.

    The town is not big to begin with, and we headed straight towards the mountain. Soon we reached the entrance of the mountain.
