"Uncle, have you eaten?"
"Young man, who are you looking for?" The old man's accent sounded like he was a native of Handan.
I took my time and lied: "I am a college student in the Mathematics Department of the Normal University. I came to the mountains for a trip, but I accidentally got lost."
"Haha, it doesn't look like a college student..."
The old man looked me up and down and shook his head: "You look like a thief to me."
My expression changed slightly. How could I ever talk to someone like this before? This old man must be mentally retarded.
"Uncle, you really know how to joke. I look like a scholar. How could I be a thief? I really can't find the way down the mountain! So, I'll give you 50 yuan and you can send me down the mountain, okay? ?”
The white-haired old man leaned back on the recliner leisurely and said casually: "Young man, you just said that you are a college student in a normal college. Then I will test you on your debut math question. What is the sixth power of two?"
This...I thought about it for a long time and guessed: "Two to the sixth power...is twelve, right?"
The old man burst out laughing. He slapped his fan, pointed at me and said loudly: "You don't even know how to solve math problems in junior high school, but you still dare to lie to me and say that you are a college student! Give me fifty yuan and I will take you down the mountain. This is equivalent to getting rid of me, the old man. This way, your accomplices can sneak in and cause damage, right?"
I was stunned on the spot.
Is this old man Zhuge Liang? This basically guessed everything about me.
The old man sighed and waved his hand: "Let's go. At this young age, I advise you to take the right path. Don't always think about taking advantage of the sidelines, otherwise you will pay the price sooner or later."
Seeing that I was still making no progress, Xiaoxuan, who was hiding behind the tree, couldn't help it. He walked over step by step carrying the insect on his back with some difficulty.
When the old man saw Xiaoxuan, he immediately said, "Look! I guessed it right, old man! You really have an accomplice!"
Xiaoxuan stopped in front of him and said directly: "We want to go in and bury someone."
"Bury someone?"
The old man glanced at the bug Xiaoxuan was carrying and frowned: "This is the Mausoleum of King Zhao, a cultural protection unit in the city. How could you be allowed to go in and bury people?"
Xiaoxuan pulled out the knife and pointed it at the old man: "I asked you to get out of the way."
"What's the matter, in broad daylight, the sky is clear, how dare you kill me!"
Xiaoxuan sneered: "You think I don't dare?"
"You little girl! How come you are so young and have so much evil energy! Come if you dare! Old man, I'm still afraid of you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxuan put down the insect and was about to take action, but I quickly stopped her.
"Uncle, if you have something to say, let's talk about it! There's no need to do anything! Let's talk about it here!"
Pulling the old man aside, I whispered: "Uncle, please do it for your convenience. We will never steal anything. We really just want to bury our friends. I only have so much money in my body. Can you be accommodating? This matter is yours." If you don’t tell me, no one will know!”
I took out all the cash I had with me and handed it over, a total of more than 700 yuan.
The old man grabbed the money and said with a smile: "Young man, it would be great if you could get the money earlier. Okay, okay, you go in. I pretend I didn't see it, old man."
I'm speechless. This old man's face changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
After burying the bugs, Xiaoxuan took off the earrings from her left ear and buried them together. I smoked cigarettes instead of incense, offered three worms and said: "Have a good journey brother, you will definitely have a good life in the next life. We will come to see you when we have time." "
I put my arms around Xiaoxuan's shoulders and stood quietly in front of the grave.
The mountain breeze blew, and the picnics around the grave swayed in the wind, which reminded me of that poem.
"A lonely tomb thousands of miles away, no place to speak of desolation."
At the same time, I sighed in my heart: "Will I, Xiang Yunfeng, end up like this one day in the future?"
No one knew where I died, no one knew where I was buried, and no one even came to see me.
Xiaoxuan saw what was on my mind. She stood up on her tiptoes, kissed me, and said softly: "I will always be with you."
I responded to her, and we kissed in front of King Zhao's Tomb.
The kiss became more passionate and out of control. Xiaoxuan was very proactive, and I was passive throughout the whole process, because after all, I was a novice.
