Chapter 558

Chang Wen said politely, "uncle, I'll treat you to lunch."

Then he pushed the recipe to the old man: "uncle, you can order whatever you want. You're welcome."

The old man took a look at the recipe and made a few gestures.

Chang Wen was surprised and turned to ask the dwarf, "what's wrong with him?"

"The dwarf explained:" uncle is deaf mute, he just gave you a gesture means, eat anything, he is not picky, as long as he can eat enough

The old man is deaf and dumb, which makes Chang Wen a bit embarrassed.

He asked the dwarf, "he can't hear me. How can he communicate?"

"The dwarf said:" handsome man, you don't care if he is deaf mute, just let him take a road, as long as he can take you to Chenjiawan

Chang Wen sighed and said helplessly, "that's OK."

He ordered 6 dishes and ordered a bottle of Baijiu.

The old man ate three bowls of rice in a row, ate up six dishes and drank up a bottle of wine.

Chang Wen and Zhang Guihua were stunned.

"The dwarf explained:" the country people are like this, usually do not have enough to eat, catch a meal is a meal, first eat full again, the country people's stomach is also big, digestion ability is very strong

Chang Wen said to the dwarf, "ask the old man, when will he go back to Chenjiawan?"

The dwarf replied, "the old man was going to leave immediately and get back to Chenjiawan before dark, but considering that you are a city dweller and can't walk that far in half a day, he can only go back tomorrow morning, but you have to pay for his board and lodging."

Chang Wen said with indifference: "these are small money. It's nothing. You have to tell the old man clearly. I went to Chenjiawan to find fat ya."

The dwarf and the old man rowed for a long time.

The dwarf said to Chang Wen, "I told him that you are going to find a fat girl. The old man said that there is this man in the village."

"That's good." Chang Wen was relieved.

An old man from Chenjiawan will show him the way. At least he won't get lost. Moreover, when he arrives at Chenjiawan, he can live in the old man's home. It's like buying a peace charm.

Chang Wen took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the old man. He turned to the dwarf and said, "please help me to explain that this money is the travel expenses and the accommodation expenses to his home. Please accept it."

Before he finished, the old man took the money and put it in his pocket.

The dwarf compared with the old man for a long time, and then said to Chang Wen, "the old man has agreed to let you live in his house. However, he said that there is no good treat at home, only corn dregs porridge and corn Wowotou."

Chang Wen sighed and said, "it's nothing, but if you live for a day or two, you can make do with it."

Zhang Guihua shrugged and sighed: "boss Chang, how can we eat this kind of food? In my opinion, you'd better take some dry food and let the restaurant make a batch of steamed bread for you. At least it's better than corn buns. "

Chang Wen shook his head and said: "there are still dozens of miles of mountain road to go. As the saying goes, it's not important to take a long road. Although it's just a few steamed buns, it's like carrying some big stones when you go a long way. Well, I'll try to make a quick decision in Chenjiawan and come back early. "

Early the next morning, before dawn, the dwarf came knocking on the door and yelled, "handsome man, get up quickly. We have to hurry after breakfast. The old man has got up and everything is ready. He is waiting to start."

Chang Wen got up in a hurry, had breakfast, took some steamed buns and followed the old man on the road.

Zhang Guihua always sent Chang Wen out of the town. She told him anxiously, "boss Chang, you must pay attention to your safety."

"Osmanthus, don't worry about me. You should pay attention to safety when you are alone in the town. I think the town is in a mess. You'd better stay in the hotel instead of going out. I think the boss and the landlady are very smart and will protect your safety."

The old man walked very fast, and Chang Wen followed him breathlessly.

When the sun came up, Chang Wen felt that he was sweating. He wanted to have a rest. However, the old man walked hard in front of him and didn't even look back.

Chang Wen thinks: if I lose him, I'm afraid the old man doesn't know. Even if he yells in the back, the old man is deaf and dumb, and he can't hear him.

If you get lost in the mountains, it's not a dead end.

The road to the mountain is a small one, with many forks. Some roads are still buried in the grass. If people didn't take this road often, they would be lost.

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he was. He suddenly remembered that there was a rope in his backpack, so he quickly took it out.

He walked a few steps and caught up with the old man. After holding the rope for a long time, the old man finally understood.

Chang Wen tied one end of the rope to the old man's arm and the other end to his own arm. In this way, Chang Wen would neither lose nor fail to keep up.

As long as Chang Wen goes a little slower, the rope will tighten and the old man will slow down.

Until the sun was just at the top, the old man finally stopped and sat on the stone by the side of the road.

Chang Wen looks up at the sun, then takes out steamed bread and mineral water from his backpack.

He handed the old man five steamed buns and a bottle of mineral water, and then ate them himself.

The old man finished eating five steamed buns in a blink of an eye. He stretched out his hand, which means he was not full.

Chang Wen gave the five steamed buns left in his backpack to the old man.

In the blink of an eye, the old man finished eating five steamed buns again. He stood up and made a gesture, which means that he was going.

Chang Wen's thighs are sour and his waist hurts. But he still has to go on.

If you can't get to Chenjiawan before dark, you'll be in trouble.

There are many wild animals in this mountain. As soon as it gets dark, they will come out and move.

Chang Wen stumbles behind the old man and is almost dragged away by him.

The sun slanted to the West and finally arrived at Chenjiawan.

Chenjiawan is in a mountain depression. In the night, Chang Wen sees a stream of smoke rising.

The old Han Dynasty walked into the village and came to the gate of a high wall courtyard.

He looked in the yard, then stood at the door and cried twice.

Chang Wen is surprised. Does this old man live here?

It's not like that. There are three tile roofed houses in the courtyard and three wing rooms beside it. It's like the home of a local fortune.

Out of the tile roofed house came an old man in a felt hat with a cigarette in his hand.

He looked at the door of the tile roofed house, turned to say something, and suddenly four strong men emerged from behind.

The old man in felt hat led four strong men to the gate of the hospital. He made a gesture to the deaf mute old man. Chang Wen understood that this was to let the deaf mute old man go home.

The deaf mute old man turned and left. Chang Wengang wanted to follow him, but he was stopped by the old man in the felt hat: "stop for me!"
