The plane flew for more than three hours before landing in Changchun City, a famous city in the northeast of Jimu Province.
As soon as I got off the plane, someone came to pick me up. It was a young man who looked neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. Perhaps it was the straightforwardness of the Northeastern people. He came over in a familiar manner and asked who the two of them were. It was not about going to Changbai Mountain, but Mr. Hu and Mr. Ye. After getting the affirmative answer, they immediately took on the job of carrying the luggage.
It was more than 500 kilometers away from Changbai Mountain. In the end, we took a train. Along the way, this young man was very talkative. He introduced himself as Li Bing. Under the influence of his elders, his biggest wish in this life is to be able to carry a gun. A massacre in Tokyo, perhaps this is also the wish of most Northeastern people. After all, during the Anti-Japanese War, the entire three Northeastern provinces were left with too much bitterness, blood and tears.
Of course, Li Bing also introduced a lot of tourist attractions and cultural customs, but these were definitely of general interest to Juan Lu. However, Ye Jun interrupted from time to time, and he and Li Bing had a good time talking.
Li Bing is a smart man. He knows that the identities of the two people in front of him are not simple, and they deliberately conceal their identities, so he does not ask too many questions. Apart from introducing the geographical environment, the rest is basically what Ye Jun asks and what he answers. Don't talk nonsense.
Ye Jun almost forgot how long the train lasted. Anyway, when Li Bing shouted to get off the station, he and Huan Lu each carried their luggage and got off the train.
When he arrived at the station, Li Bing smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, I'm so sorry, I can only send you here."
After finishing speaking, Li Bing pointed to a bus not far ahead and explained: "After you get on that bus, someone will pick you up, so I'll take my leave first."
Li Bing waved to Ye Jun and Huan Lu, and then disappeared into the crowd.
Ye Jun and the absent-minded Huan Lu walked onto the bus. There was no one inside, except for a driver who covered his head with a newspaper and seemed to be dozing off. However, when he heard the footsteps, the driver immediately opened the newspaper, revealing a face that was familiar to Ye Jun.
Fifth Master.
"It's really here." There was only one figure in the fifth master's eyes, and that was Huan Lu. The burning heat in his eyes was beyond words, and there was a fighting spirit in it.
Juan Lu snorted coldly, then put down his luggage and walked straight to the last row of the car. After sitting down, he stopped talking and just leaned against the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was falling asleep.
"Still the same bad temper." The fifth master was not angry, he just curled his lips, then looked at Ye Jun, and said with a smile: "Wen Jing has something to do temporarily, so he asked me to pick you up. He is probably dealing with some urgent matters in Changchun City now. You guys If we come earlier, we might be able to meet up.¡±
"There's no rush, Uncle Bai can't run away anyway, he'll always see you." Ye Jun smiled politely at Fifth Master: "Then let's go to Changbai Mountain first. To be honest, I still yearn for that place."
"If you are traveling, I advise you to join the tour group, because the place you are going to is definitely not a blessed place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. For a southerner like you, it is definitely a poor place." The fifth master said with a grin.
"Really?" Ye Jun nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "I really don't believe that the poor mountains and rivers you mentioned are comparable to the most dangerous spider jungle in the Amazon forest. I have slept in that place for two nights, and There¡¯s really nothing to be afraid of.¡±
"If someone else had said this, Wu Ye would probably have laughed out loud, and then said that some young people should not be too arrogant and should learn to keep a low profile. However, it was Ye Jun who said this, which made Fifth Master a little puzzled. He secretly thought that this boy is not old, and his tone is not small, but he has incredible abilities. Maybe he has actually been to the Spider Jungle.
However, Mr. Wu would not believe it when he said that he had slept for two nights, because that place was not a place for sleeping at all. If you dare to sleep there, you might as well hold yourself up to prevent yourself from dozing off, otherwise you would really fall asleep. I'm afraid I have to be frightened to wake up.
¡°Just imagine, if you fall asleep, a big spider that weighs a few pounds crawls on your head, and then kisses you and so on. Even if you are not poisoned, you may not be able to eat for ten and a half months.
However, there was absolutely no fraud in what Ye Jun said. On the contrary, he was modest, because in his previous life, he had been to the Spider Jungle twice. The first time, he stayed there for half a month. The second time, it was a full two months.
It is precisely because of the unbearable experience in the Spider Jungle that Ye Jun developed a perseverance. This is a resilience that is born under extreme environmental pressure and is difficult for ordinary people to possess.
The bus bumped for more than an hour before it stopped. Night had already fallen and it was pitch black outside, because this stretch of road was simply a barren land where no one would be so idle.To install telephone poles and street lights?
However, there are still some faint lights coming from outside. Different from fluorescent lamps, it feels more like candlelight. Combined with the dark surroundings, it is like a ghost fire on an empty road.
"Boy, don't look surprised. Let me tell you, our tradition here has lasted for more than eighty years, and the courtyard is also a courtyard preserved from the Qing Dynasty."
The fifth master looked like he knew all the family treasures, and clasped his fingers and said: "I tell you, this can be traced back to the Qianlong period. Because Yongzheng ascended the throne, Kangxi's thirteenth son Yinxiang was able to become the most noble prince, and he was allowed to be hereditary. , the Iron Hat King. During the Qianlong period, Yinxiang's grandson built a summer resort here. It was said to be a summer resort, but I think he came here to enjoy the snow scenery and hunt on the Changbai Mountain with his elder brother, Baylor, and the princess. . Later, after years of disrepair and war, this place was constantly repaired and repaired, and finally became this big mansion. "
"It has quite a background. I didn't expect it to be a place where relatives of the emperor live." Ye Jun said with bright eyes.
"Why do I feel that you are exactly the same as Wen Jing when you first came here?" The fifth master looked wary, "I'm warning you, there are indeed a lot of painted pottery, vases and other porcelain from that period, but you can't just take advantage of them. , do you understand?"
"Oh? There's still this thing?" Ye Jun's eyes widened in surprise.
Fifth Master has the urge to shoot himself in the foot, and secretly wonders, is he really talking too much?
This thought made Fifth Master quite depressed. He resisted the urge to continue talking, then turned off the engine without saying a word, then got out of the car and led the way.
Since the three of them are all good insiders, they naturally don't care about these dark lights. Even if the road under their feet is bumpy and uneven, no one will be bumped.
The closer I got, the more I had a deeper understanding of what originally looked like ghost fire. It turned out that the two faintly glowing things were actually the two white lanterns hanging outside the courtyard door. However, this was quite scary. According to the According to the custom of the ancients, white lanterns would be hung only when someone died in the family.
But there are exceptions. For example, when the ancients carried lanterns on the streets, many of them were white lanterns. This was not a taboo. Since he was not born in that era, Ye Jun didn't bother to pay attention to such details.
There are two stone lions outside the gate, one on the left and one on the right, which is very majestic. However, the gate has a bit of decay, but it still gives people a sense of solidity.
Fifth Master held the lion doorknob on the door and knocked, shouting: "I'm back, Aaron, open the door."
"coming."
Soon, a shout came from the yard, and there was only a thick clang. The door slowly opened, and a thief-minded young man said with a playful smile: "Fifth Master, you are back. Just in time, everyone is ready to eat."
"You only know how to eat, eat, eat. When do you think you can make a living?" Fifth Master scolded him majestically, and then said: "These two are guests. Prepare two guest rooms for them, clean them, and clean them." Take your luggage."
"No problem, I'll take care of it." Aaron vowed and patted his chest, then walked to Ye Jun and Huan Lu with a playful smile, "You two, just leave your luggage to me. I will definitely prepare the best guest room for you. Forget it. Counting the time, alas, it¡¯s been almost a year and a half, and we finally have guests. I remember last time, it was still three bad old men.¡±
The corners of Ye Jun's and Huan Lu's mouths twitched subconsciously. Huan Lu seemed to want to laugh, but could only hold it in. Ye Jun was depressed, because if his expressions were correct, these three bad old men might not be able to Those are the three ancestors.
"Why is there so much nonsense? Go and clean it up!" Fifth Master is a shrewd man, especially he knows where those three bad old men are, so he looked at Ye Jun in confusion and muttered that your three elders are really good enough. Seriously, coming here is just like at home. He is like a robber. He can't be beaten and beaten, and he can't be driven away.
The fifth master felt sulky when he thought of those three old guys coming here to rob the house.
Ye Jun and Huan Lu were welcomed into the lobby. The decoration inside did not have any modern sense. It was all the style of the Qing Dynasty. After lighting three or five lanterns, the lobby immediately lit up, although the corners were still a bit eerie. , but no one cares, this kind of darkness will only scare girls like Guo Xiaoyu.
"Lao Wu, I heard that you are back. Have all the guests been received?" At this time, a loud laugh came from the back hall, and following the sound, a middle-aged man in Tang suit came out with a pot of tea. , looks about the same as Fifth Master, about forty-five years old.
This middle-aged man has quite a temperament and gives off the feeling of being mysterious. Ye Jun looked at this man and said:??This man was also examining Ye Jun and Huan Lu. Finally, he nodded to Ye Jun and said that life is formidable. Then, he turned his eyes to Huan Lu and said calmly: "Mr. Hu, after ten years of separation, are you okay?"
"Zuo Jian, don't play these tricks with me, I'm a humble man. If you don't feel awkward, I still feel awkward." Huan Lu obviously had a huge prejudice against this man.
"It seems that Mr. Hu still can't forget the grudges I had with you back then." Zuo Jian said with a bitter smile.
"If you hadn't protected that old ghost, would he have lived to be seventy years old?" Huan Lu sneered.
"The person is already dead. It's disrespectful to talk about it. They say that the dead are the most important, and dust will return to dust. Mr. Hu, let's forget about these grudges." Zuo Jian sighed, and then bowed to Huan Lu. After bowing, he said: "If there was anything that offended Mr. Hu in the past, please let me know. Let's just laugh it off and forget about it, okay?"
Huan Lu took a deep look at Zuo Jian, and then said: "That's all, dust will return to dust, dust will return to dust, it's not an unsolvable grudge, but remember, you were the one who was meddling in other people's affairs at that time, I can see that old ghost I won¡¯t care about it for the sake of death, but I will never laugh it off with you just because you apologize casually. I, Huanlu, am an upright person and will never be so generous, but think about it for yourself, you did it before. What?"
Zuo Jian blushed for a rare moment and said awkwardly: "Mr. Hu, how can you forgive me?"
After finishing speaking, Zuo Jian said seriously: "I have been thinking about it for ten years, and I have not left this courtyard for ten years. This was also the promise I made to Mr. Hu back then."
"Huh." Huan Lu snorted coldly, and then said: "This is not enough, far from enough."
Ye Jun couldn't figure out what kind of misunderstanding Huan Lu had with this middle-aged man named Zuo Jian, and what kind of twists and turns there were, but looking at the embarrassment on the fifth master's face, he didn't feel any resentment towards Huan Lu for making things difficult for him. , you know that Huan Lu not only holds the truth, but also holds the great truth.
"However, when we come here, we can't cause any misunderstandings because of the grievances and resentments over the years, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted.
Therefore, Ye Jun suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Zuo, I heard that there are century-old snow cicadas and Tianshan snow lotus in Changbai Mountain, as well as century-old snow clams and thousand-year ice crystals. I wonder if you can help me get some? I remember, Hu Uncle just needs it urgently."
Before Huan Lu could speak with a green face, Ye Jun hurriedly leaned into Huan Lu's ear and said: "Uncle Hu, what's the use of these things? I believe you also know. As the saying goes, you have to be merciful and forgive others. Those grudges that cannot be seen or touched are Disputes are not as real as substantive things, right?¡±
Huan Lu was silent for a moment. He was indeed moved. Finally, he hummed and sat on the chair by himself. He looked like he would leave the rest of the matter to this boy. Wu Ye and Zuo Jian looked at each other in confusion. In the end, both of them were They look at each other with a sad face and smile bitterly.
