Brother Chengxin didn't say anything clearly on the phone, he just urged us to go there as soon as possible. It's rare for Brother Chengxin to do this. Under normal circumstances, he is always the unhurried man with a gentle smile.

This phone call also broke the delicate atmosphere between Ruxue and I to some extent, so I had no intention of talking about anything anymore. After some discussion, we decided to fly there tomorrow, and Ruxue left my room and went to Liuzhou.

I slept in my sister’s room with my sixth sister.

As for the sixth brother-in-law, I can only feel aggrieved tonight and make the floor downstairs. After all, his room was given to me.

The next day, we said goodbye to our sixth sister and sixth brother-in-law, bought the earliest ticket of the day, and rushed to a province in the three eastern provinces.

Unfortunately, the city where Brother Chengxin is located does not have direct flights, so we rushed to the nearest city, and then rented a car to go to the city where Brother Chengxin was located.

This is the northernmost city in China. Only when I got here did I realize how wrong I was. I traveled all over the country and traveled to so many places. I was in such a hurry and was really unprepared!

Only when I got here did I know what real cold was, it was really too cold.

October is a cool autumn in many places in China. October here is colder than the coldest winter in my hometown, and it looks like it has already snowed.

So, when Ruxue and I got out of the car, we were both shivering from the cold. I quickly found two down jackets that I had bought in a hurry in Beijing, and first put one on Ruxue, and then put on another one myself.

In a hurry, I only had these preparations. After all, I have been busy these past few months. Brother Chengxin was doing all the preparations. I didn't think so much, but I didn't expect it to be such a misstep!

The place where Ruxue lives is a warm place, even warmer than my hometown in Sichuan. Even if she puts on a down jacket, she is still shivering from the cold. It is obviously not suitable for the weather here. I feel heartbroken when I see her.

Without any hesitation, he opened his down jacket and hugged Ruxue from behind.

The moment I hugged her, Ruxue's whole body couldn't help but stiffen, and I whispered: "Don't move, I don't mean anything, I just don't want you to freeze to death."

Ruxue's body softened and she leaned against me gently. She actually stopped moving, but she didn't say anything. We just stood quietly on the street because Brother Chengxin said he wanted us here.

Wait for him.

I don’t know if my heart is warm and my body is also warm. Snuggling like this, the fragrance of snow is stirring my breath, as if I am addicted to her world, the wind outside, the cold outside

, during that period of time, I almost couldn’t feel it.

I wish time could go slower, and slower, but within two minutes, a chuckle came not far away, and I saw it was Brother Chengxin leaning on the street lamp beside the street, looking at us with a smile, and when he saw me

After noticing his presence, he said apologetically: "Chengyi, I'm really sorry, I don't want to interrupt you, but if I don't make any noise, I'm afraid you'll just stand on the street like this forever, freezing."

Even if you die, you won’t even move.”

I made a helpless and angry expression towards Brother Chengxin, and then I felt like my chest was empty. Ruxue had walked out of my arms, and it was only then that I realized what I was doing.

My hands and feet, which were already cold, were a little stiff.

"Let's go back to my rented house." Brother Chengxin was dressed like a bear, and it seemed that he couldn't bear the cold, so he hurriedly urged us.

Ruxue and I hurriedly followed his footsteps. As we walked, I asked: "It's just fine to live in a hotel. Why do you have to rent in someone else's house?"

"Isn't there something wrong? Has the situation changed? I'll tell you in detail when I get back." Brother Chengxin answered me quickly. Like me, there was a big puff of white air coming out of his mouth when he spoke. Today

It's freezing cold, and it's obviously only mid-October.

"But why didn't you tell me earlier? It's in the old forest here. I also said that just preparing some down jackets is enough, but it turns out it's so cold before we even enter the mountains." Actually, I don't want to complain about Brother Chengxin.

Helplessly looking at Ruxue's face turned red from the cold, she still couldn't help it.

"I'm telling you, I just arrived in this province the day before yesterday, and I just arrived in this city yesterday. Do you believe it?" Brother Chengxin adjusted his glasses and said to me helplessly.

This thing was a bit strange, but the weather was cold and I didn't want to stay outside for too long, so I didn't ask any more questions. I just followed Brother Chengxin on his way silently! I just hope to get into a warm house as soon as possible.

————————————————Dividing line——————————————————

Houses in the north usually have heating, and it feels like spring when you enter the house, which is completely different from the cold weather outside.

As soon as we entered the room, Brother Chengxin poured two cups of hot water and handed them to Ruxue and me. Ruxue and I held the hot water and drank several sips to warm ourselves up. Only then did we notice that Chengxin

The house I rented was nice, with two bedrooms and one living room, and it was kept clean. However, the living room was piled with packages, which looked like they belonged to Brother Chengxin.

Realizing that I had noticed those packages, Brother Chengxin said: "Fortunately, I have buddies in the north who just delivered them this afternoon. They are the things we need in the old forest. Otherwise, we would have been frozen to death in the mountains."

."

At this time, I finally regained my breath and said, "Didn't you prepare for a long time? Why do you seem so hurried just now?"

Brother Chengxin glanced at me and said nothing, then picked up something and threw it on the sofa in the living room with a bang. Then he closed the door hard and said to me: "Open your heavenly eyes."

Keep it up to prevent someone from eavesdropping."

I noticed that what Brother Chengxin threw out just now was something like a small pot. I recognized it at a glance and recognized that it was also a type of Yin vessel. It was made of special clay and could be called a soul-nurturing pot. Lenovo

When Brother Chengxin asked me to open my clairvoyance, I knew that he was guarding against ghosts. After all, who else could it be? Just the old ghost who traded with him in the ghost market.

Ruxue was calm and silent, as if she was staying out of the situation, but I felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so it would be better to do what Brother Chengxin said, so I opened my eyes.

In fact, there's nothing wrong with being in this state. Even if you see things in a hazy way, it doesn't affect the conversation at all.

"Tell me, what's going on?" I leaned on the sofa, enjoying the warm heating, and felt more relaxed!

"I think there is something wrong with this old man. I have noticed something wrong in the past few days. When he talks, let's put it this way, he is always secretive, just like squeezing out toothpaste. Squeeze a little, talk a little, and I feel that there is something wrong with it.

You are hiding something from me, so I told you on the phone that something is wrong." Brother Chengxin told me the outline of the matter in simple words.

But he didn't feel heavy while talking, because he was still busy fiddling with a stew pot in the house, trying to see if the contents were cooked!

What was stewed in the pot were large pieces of meat and white vegetables. Even if I had never seen anything before, I knew that they were sauerkraut unique to the north, plus vermicelli. The stew was so hot that when he opened the lid of the pot, the whole room was filled with

It's all about fragrance.

Brother Chengxin put a piece of white meat in his mouth and said to me inarticulately while exhaling: "It's not right, but I'm not worried. How can the transactions in the ghost market be fake? The old ghost should still be

He will lead us honestly to look for ginseng essence. It’s just that”

At this point, Brother Chengxin had already swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth, and said to Ruxue and me: "The Northeast stew, the heat is just right, the flavor is delicious, and the stew is soft. Come, eat it while it's hot, let's

Talk while eating."

To be honest, I have never tasted authentic Northeastern cuisine. As soon as Brother Chengxin mentioned it, I couldn’t hold myself back any longer and sat around with Ruxue. Brother Chengxin had already set up a small bench.

I also prepared bowls and chopsticks, handed them to Ruxue and me, and then closed the door.

Fire, said: "Eat it like this, it will be hot! Wait for it to cool down, add some water, then turn on the fire and it will be hot again and you can eat it. I think this Northeastern food is good, the portion is large and the taste is strong, and the Northeastern soybean paste is so fragrant

, this is a man’s paradise, eat meat in big chunks and drink in big nets.”

Brother Chengxin is really a foodie. When it comes to food, I have long forgotten what the important point is. I was so hungry that I didn’t care about cooking it, so I just took two bites of it, large pieces of meat, full-flavored sauerkraut, and...

The flavor of the sauce is really delicious and smooth. However, I still don’t forget to remind Brother Chengxin: “Please tell me the important point.”

Brother Chengxin calmly took out a wine bottle, unscrewed the cap, handed it to me, and then said: "The point is, our search for ginseng essence this time may not be as simple as we thought.

The old man squeezing out toothpaste told us that we can only go into the mountains in November because there is an important place, but he didn’t explain it clearly. Anyway, we have to go in when it’s cold and freezing. I can bear this, but I can’t stand it.

What’s more, it also secretly tells people to avoid certain people?”

I took a sip of the wine. It was no different from the roasted knife that brother Yuan Yi brought to the cemetery. As soon as I drank it, my throat and stomach were all burning. After I calmed down, I asked: "Why? What does it mean?"

"

Before Brother Chengxin had time to answer, I heard a voice. It was a typical 'ghost talk', as if it was said directly in your head.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? You're going to fuck me outside again, you can't do that!"
