Chapter 7, Tracking

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

"What?" A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. Xiaomeng exaggeratedly asked in her characteristic doll-like voice, "Boss, did something happen to you? Were you in a car accident? Is it serious? Did you break your leg? Sister Liu and I are coming to see you... Do you need any gifts..."

Ordinary people tend to favor nurse sisters, but I would rather these two sisters pack up and go home early. Those who have not experienced it personally can never truly understand that such peculiar beings exist in this world

The tall man carried a black equipment bag on his back and walked towards one of the vans. At the hour of Xu, both the uncle and the tall man boarded the van. I immediately said to the driver, "Follow them"

I curled my lips and led my uncle to our shop, pointing at the little yellow dog on the lower bunk who was still snoring, and said: "He, he instigated it, I was incited." My uncle, furious, puffed his cheeks and glared, then kicked the little yellow dog, waking him up immediately. The little yellow dog opened his eyes in a daze, and upon seeing my uncle, he was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth. After a moment, he seemed to remember something, his face turning red with anger, and he pointed at me, shouting: "Sun, you betrayed me again!"

Time passes quickly during the New Year, and before I knew it, it was the thirteenth day of the lunar month. During this period, I had been busy visiting relatives, so I hadn't gone to my uncle's residence. That evening, as I was preparing to rest, my phone suddenly rang. When I looked at the number, it was an unfamiliar call, and the location displayed was right here in our city.

The little yellow dog finally couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a chuckle. I felt an urge to curse the heavens. In other pharmacies, the hired nurses are both beautiful and gentle, so why in my store do we end up with such a peculiar one

The little yellow dog paused for a moment, scrutinized me for a while, and said: "You soft-footed shrimp"

The little yellow dog said again: "During the Anti-Japanese War, you must be a traitor to the Han people"

On the fifteenth, I informed my parents that I would be returning to the city to open a store. After bidding them farewell, I met up with the little yellow dog at the bus station in the county. To get from our place to Shanxi, it was necessary to go to the city to take a train or a plane. We spent three hundred yuan to hire a van, closed the windows, and hid inside the vehicle, watching the comings and goings of the travelers. Before long, I saw my uncle enter the bus station, followed by a large man I had never seen before.

I say: "It is not the weak-willed who are clever, but those who know how to adapt to the times are the true heroes"

"Alright." Xiao Liu replied lightly and hung up the phone with a snap.

I engaged in a casual exchange of words with him, gradually distancing ourselves from Bashu amidst the clattering sounds of the railway, heading towards Shanxi

The person with the surname Chen does not speak clearly; he moves like a ghost. When you talk to him, it takes him a long time to respond. For example, if you greet him, he will say: "You ~ ~ ~ good ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

The little yellow dog showed a contemplative expression and said softly, "It seems that he is also someone with the surname Chen." The little yellow dog and I originally had little to say to each other, so we both closed our eyes to rest. While I was thinking about my uncle's matters, I called my pharmacy. I have two staff members at my shop, both of whom are young nurses who graduated from a nursing school. The two girls are only 20 years old, and it is easy for mistakes to occur when I am not there.

In the end, I discovered that my uncle's parking space was only separated from ours by one spot. The next morning, while washing my face, I encountered my uncle in the car.

I felt a bit overwhelmed and quickly said, "Stop, please don't jump to conclusions. I'm fine, I just need to take care of some family matters..." Before I could finish my sentence, she exclaimed again, "Family matters? Boss... what's wrong at home? Are your parents hospitalized? What illness do they have? Can I help in any way?"

The driver was taken aback for a moment, sizing me and the little yellow dog up a few times, and questioned, "Young man, what are you two planning to do...?" From his tone, he probably thought that the little yellow dog and I were up to something unsavory. Just as I was about to explain, the little yellow dog frowned fiercely and said, "Master, why are you asking so many questions? We won't shortchange you."

The little yellow dog opened its eyes upon sensing my gaze and said, "Do you recognize the person who was with the master just now?" I searched my memory and found that I seemed to have no impression of such a person, so I shook my head.

In fact, I feel quite guilty about it, but although my uncle is fierce, he wouldn't truly harm this direct disciple. There is no need to feel guilty about such matters as framing someone. I immediately retorted, "What betrayal? That sounds so harsh, as if I am in cahoots with you."

I swallowed hard, actually ... . ... I haven't finished speaking.

The little yellow dog and I were hiding and dodging at the train station. After a moment, the one surnamed Chen met up with an equipped individual and a large uncle. After the three of them purchased their train tickets, they went to the waiting room to wait for the train. I took out a pair of sunglasses, disguised myself so that even my parents wouldn't recognize me, and then took the little yellow dog's ID to buy tickets.

The little yellow dog cursed and said, "You coward, we are going to Shanxi. Didn't they say that China Mobile can't even reach there? Aren't you bringing tents and food? Are you planning to just drink the wind?" It was only then that I realized, so I discussed a meeting point with the little yellow dog. Early the next morning, we went to our county town to prepare the basic necessities.

As the old saying goes, one should not strike a smiling face. I accompanied a smile and said, "Yes, yes, Uncle, you eat meat, don't let it harm your health. I will listen to you and leave as soon as I get off the car." The little yellow dog glared at me, seemingly wanting to argue, but I kicked him directly, signaling him to keep quiet. After a moment, the uncle returned to his compartment, and the little yellow dog immediately got up, grabbed my collar, and was about to hit me, cursing, "Sun, you ungrateful wolf, the more the master doesn't want us to go, the more dangerous that place is. If you don't go, I will!"

The train traveled for a day and a night. By noon the next day, we arrived at Yangcheng County in Shanxi. From the high ground of the county seat, we could see a majestic old dragon stretching far into the distance, which was our destination this time: Mangshan.

I recently changed my phone, and apart from my business partners and close family, not many people have my number. When I answered the call, I heard the voice of a little yellow dog: "Hello, it's me. The master has already started packing things up, so you should get ready too"

"Ugh." Uncle hit me again and said, "Three hundred a month, do you think you grew up on fresh air? Stop with your slick talk. Get off the car and leave, otherwise I'll show you whether Uncle is a vegetarian."

Suppressing the urge to slam the table, I said to her: "Let Xiao Liu answer the phone, you should go do what you need to do."

The driver, feeling a bit stifled, began to drive properly. I couldn't help but look at the little yellow dog with new eyes; this little fellow, upon seeing me, acted as if it were a mouse encountering a cat. How is it that once we left the village, the whole demeanor changed?

After getting off the train, my uncle remained still, his arms crossed over his chest. He tilted his chin towards the ticket counter, signaling for me and the little yellow dog to go buy return tickets. Neither of us moved. After a moment, the little yellow dog spoke first, saying: "Master, it's too dangerous. I will accompany you."

"Don't get worked up." I curled my lip, pulled down his arm, and said, "Our legs are our own; even if Uncle wants to stop us, he can't. What I'm saying is just a temporary measure. If we confront Uncle now, do you really want to get beaten up on the train?"

The destination is Shanxi, and there is only one train, which departs at 7:00 PM. After purchasing the ticket, in order not to be discovered, I took my little yellow dog and found a nearby inn. After eating and drinking to my satisfaction, I boarded the train at 6:30 PM.

The little yellow dog looked at me with a disdainful expression for a while, shook its head, and then closed its eyes to go to sleep. Our car traveled for four hours before we arrived at the city. Following my uncle's route, they chose to take the train, as the destination was relatively remote, and there were no direct flights available.

What a load of nonsense! I have goosebumps all over.

Oh hetushu.com. She spoke in a low voice, appearing quite dissatisfied. After a moment, another calm voice came through the phone: "Hello"

At first, I didn't react, returning to: "What should I prepare?"

Uncle Shun, feeling exasperated, directly hit me on the head with a toothbrush and scolded, "What nonsense! Who told you to come here! No, wait..." After thinking for a moment, he said, "With your dim-witted brain, you wouldn't have thought to follow along. Tell me, who taught you this?"

"Peh." My uncle gave me a hard knock on the head and said, "You two little brats, stop putting on a show for me. Once the train arrives, you both better roll back home." I thought to myself, now that we are here, how could I let him send us away so easily? So I took out the train ticket, pointed to the fare on it, and said, "Uncle, this trip costs over 300 yuan. Since we are already here, why not let us tag along? Otherwise, it would be such a waste. Nowadays, we advocate for frugality, and it’s really hard for me to earn money. 300 yuan is not a small amount; it’s enough for my living expenses for a month..."

I am feeling somewhat down. Although this idea was not originally mine, is it really necessary to directly point out such a lack of common sense? That would be quite damaging to one's self-esteem

Hello, Xiaomeng, I may not be back for more than a month. Please take good care of the store with Xiaoliu.

Xiao Liu, I may be going out for a month. The matters of the store will be entrusted to you. Feel free to make decisions regarding any inventory purchases.

He was brushing his teeth when he saw me, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of white foam, which made him choke and tear up. I hurried over to pat his back and comforted him, saying: "Uncle, don't be agitated. The motherland is vast, and fate is small. It is very possible to encounter love around the corner"
