Chapter 325 Going to a place that doesn’t exist Although it is always bad to trample flowers and plants.
Especially when the object you are trampling on is still blooming, golden tulips.
But now Yin Xiu can only do this, entering Wujian in an almost barbaric way.
When the time came, as the two people jumped on it, the ground that originally seemed solid suddenly sank.
A familiar feeling of weightlessness came to Yin Xiu's mind again.
Luo Wei didn't have this experience. Although he said he didn't care, he still couldn't help but feel a little panic on his face, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Yin Xiu's clothes.
With this grab, Yin Xiu, who was still landing smoothly, was pulled back by him, and his center of gravity suddenly became unbalanced.
boom!boom! Both of them fell heavily on their heads and feet on the bamboo raft, and they were all thrown to pieces.
Yin Xiu sat up first, covering the back of his head and staring at Luo Wei.
"Yongtan, if you catch me like this again, we will both fall to our deaths before we reach our destination."
Luo Wei also had a ferocious expression at this time, forcing an ugly smile.
"Nervous, the first time is always a bit nervous."
Yin Xiu stopped talking nonsense to him. Instead, she shook her head to dispel the pain and looked at the silent boatman.
The boatman is a different boatman from last time, but his skin is the same pale and his body is thin.
This boatman strictly abides by the rules of the boat. If others don't ask him anything, he won't say anything, and he doesn't seem to hear anything. He just rows slowly.
At this moment, the bamboo raft was still traveling through the underground waterway just like last time. On top were manhole covers or fences made of cast iron, letting in a little sunlight.
After noticing Yin Xiu looking at him, the boatman spoke, his voice still hoarse and low, as if he had swallowed two kilograms of fine sand.
"Where?"
"Tiexinyuan." Yin Xiu replied.
After hearing the name, the boatman looked at Yin Xiu strangely, as if he wanted to see through him.
After a pause, he replied: "Tiexinyuan, there is no such place in the world, you can't go there."
"I know."
Yin Xiu reached out, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and slowly unfolded it.
It was a rough topographic map, with a few crude lines and a big cross in a certain location.
This was obtained from the explanation during the interrogation that night. It was roughly drawn according to his description. There were no contours, not even reference objects, and it did not follow the basic directions.
But according to Chun Dai, in Wujian, there is no need for such precise things, as long as you can see what they are.
Yin Xiu handed the note to the boatman and repeated: "Go to Tiexinyuan."
The boatman took the note, glanced at it, and then nodded, "Okay, Tiexinyuan."
Just as he was about to hold up the pole, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Do you want to book a return ticket?"
"Return trip? Isn't there a direct passage to the ground in Tiexinyuan?"
The boatman paused, with an unknown smile on his face.
"What I mean is, do you want to collect your bodies? If necessary, I will go there in two days and carry you two to the ground, where someone will take over.
So if you need it, just pay more and leave me an address. "
Luo Wei couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Tiexinyuan, is it so scary?"
As soon as he asked the actual question, the boatman stopped answering. He just looked at Yin Xiu, waiting for his answer.
Yin Xiu grinned and signaled Luo Wei to give the boatman a cigarette.
"I'm sorry, but I can't take care of your business. I don't think we can use your return service. The monks in Tiexinyuan may need it, but they have to be willing to pay for it themselves."
The boatman didn't take it seriously and just nodded: "I think it's always good to be prepared, but if you say you won't need it, I won't force it."
As he spoke, he took the cigarette, but did not light it. Instead, he tore off the cigarette holder, peeled off the cigarette paper, put the tobacco inside into his mouth, and chewed it.
Luo Wei has seen this peculiar way among some Southeast Asians.
The rainforests in Southeast Asia are hot and humid. During the rainy season, people can easily inhale too much moisture if they stay there for a long time, which can lead to various diseases.
Therefore, some people chew tobacco to remove dampness and warm their bodies.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the boatman was weird. Maybe he was a gangster before, or had committed a serious crime, so he escaped.
So Luo Wei took another look at the man and remembered his appearance and characteristics in his heart.
Then he whispered to Yin Xiu: "Why do I think this boatman knows everything, but he refuses to say anything?"
Yin Xiu nodded, "He only knows what he needs to know. If you ask him anything else, he won't answer at all."
"What do you need to know?"
Yin Xiu rolled her eyes: "What you asked me happened to be a question that I shouldn't know."
According to Chun Dai, this is actually a conventional rule.
Yes, rules, fucking rules.
The endless boatmen, they travel through the underground waterways all day long, what don’t they know?Where won’t you go?
They are simply horsemen and rickshaw drivers on earth.
You wave to him and say you want to go somewhere, and then just close your eyes, or not, just do your own thing with your eyes open, and you will reach your destination after a this is limited to locations marked on the route map.
In some places, such as Tsutenkaku Tower and the library, if you say you want to go to these places, they will go there immediately without batting an eyelid.
But some places, like Tiexinyuan, "do not exist" on the route map.
If you tell the boatman that you are going to these non-existent places, he will ignore you.
Only if you prove that you really "know" the existence of this place will he nod and take you there.
It was like the boatman started to set off after Yin Xiu took out the road map as proof that he knew the existence of this place.
As if he had finally recovered from his headache, Luo Wei finally lost his previous curiosity and just sat quietly.
After all, although this waterway looks different, each section has its own scenery, but after looking at it for a long time, there is nothing particularly surprising.
"Yin Xiu."
Yin Xiu lay down on the bamboo raft and took a nap early to recharge his batteries. When Luo Wei called him this, he raised his eyelids a little.
"What's wrong, Detective Yong?"
"It's nothing."
Luo Wei raised his hand, but stopped talking.
"When did you become such a bitch? Did the nurse give you the wrong injection when you were in the hospital?"
"No! I didn't even take a shot when I was in the hospital!"
Rowe sighed.
"I mean, since I met you, I seem to have encountered many strange things that I have never thought of before.
I used to think that it was normal for people like me to be ignored.
Because I am indeed a weirdo, with a weird personality and weird ways of doing things. I don’t accept dirty money and don’t have good relationships with people. I just want to catch thieves. "
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "You look quite similar to Chun Dai."
Luo Wei waved his hands repeatedly, "Can't compare, can't compare. That guy is much stronger than me. Whether it's skill or determination, he is far from what I can match. If not..."
"Fortunately it was that [but for], otherwise there would be two less bad guys in the world."
Luo Wei laughed when he heard this.
"I didn't expect these words to come out of your mouth. You and Uncle Ming's mouths have always been..."
"Always what?" Yin Xiu raised her eyelids.
"Well, it's always...very special."
After a pause, Luo Wei continued: "This is not the important point. What I want to say is that after meeting you, I regained some of my original emotions and felt the meaning of being a patrol officer."
"Meaning? What is meaning?"
Yin Xiu rolled her eyes at him, "But it doesn't matter, everyone has their own way of living, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Some people just drink and smoke all day long, but if they don't cause trouble to others and one person has enough to eat and the whole family doesn't have to worry about it, then just let him be, what does it matter? Just like when you are a police officer, even though all your colleagues are certified gangsters, you are soft on collecting dirty money, but soft on catching thieves.
But as long as you are not willing to join in with him, the situation will get better sooner or later. It's just a matter of whether it's better or worse. "
"Is there any wine?" Luo Wei suddenly asked.
"Why, you have to drink to strengthen your courage before you meet anyone? Be careful and you'll get drunk first and fall down."
Despite what he said, Yin Xiu still took out the wine bottle from his arms and handed it over.
Luo Wei was not polite, took the wine bottle and took a swig.
He was different from Haruyo. If Haruyo drank this strong soju, he would clutch his chest and be out of breath for a long time.
However, Luo Wei felt very comfortable. A pleasant burning sensation first surged in his intestines and stomach, and by the time it reached Tianling Gai, it had turned into a cool feeling, traveling through the eight extraordinary meridians, causing the pores all over his body to relax.
After taking a few more sips, Yin Xiu frowned.
"Young Detective, leave some for me, don't drink it all."
Luo Wei smiled and said: "What's the hurry? I'll treat you to a drink after a while."
"It will take some time? Why, you have to look at the almanac when you invite someone to drink?"
"Absolutely. I'm a more traditional person, so it depends on the day."
Wiping the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, Luo Wei's eyes held a strange tenderness, as if they were about to melt. This was a look that had never appeared in the past, and Yin Xiu was stunned when he looked at it.
He twisted his neck and said, "There is a girl who lives across from me. She is not beautiful, but she is very cute. I can't get enough of her.
Every day when I go to work, when I walk down the stairs, she always looks at me from afar. How do I know she is looking at me?Because I'm looking at her too.
She is shy, and I am shy too. In the past, I thought that my line of work was too dangerous and I didn’t want to drag others down.
But now I think about it, how can life be anything other than living? What’s more, people like me, black and white, will never stay away from me if they see me. They don’t want to have anything to do with me. If I don’t live a long life, who can live a long life? ? "
As he said this, Luo Wei smiled sheepishly, and a hint of shyness flashed across the face of such a tough guy.
"When this matter is over and I return to the ground, I will marry her."
