How did the key get on the bear's back?

If you think about this question a little, you will come up with the answer.

Before Li Banfeng entered the door, he threw the key into the weeds.

The bear scratched his itch in the weeds and picked up the key, which he carried all the way back to his cave.

Suishenju followed the key, and Li Banfeng and Suishenju followed the black bear to the cave.

The key question now is, how to get the key off the bear's back?

Seeing that the black bear was about to return to the cave, Li Banfeng quickly caught up with it, picked up a stone, and hit the bear on the back.

We can't let the black bear enter the cave. If the key falls into the dark cave, it will be very difficult to find it again.

Li Banfeng wanted to use this stone to knock the key down.

Unfortunately, this was not a distance within five meters. He was several dozen meters away from the black bear, and it was very difficult to hit the black bear.

The stone missed the key and hit the back of the black bear's head.

The black bear was hit hard, roared, turned around and chased Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng also ran. The black bear chased him for a while, but found that it still could not catch up. It stood up on its hind legs, with its front legs hanging in front of its chest, and roared at Li Banfeng.

This is a stern warning from the bear. If you get close to it again, it will definitely cost you your life.

After the warning, the black bear put down its front legs and lay on the ground again. As soon as it turned around and walked towards the cave, it was hit on the back of its head by a stone again.

Li Banfeng wanted to hit the key, but he couldn't control the strength of his hand well and always hit the back of the black bear's head.

The enraged black bear gathered all its strength and knocked down a tree next to the cave, showing its strength to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng took advantage of the black bear turning around and threw another stone at it, hitting the back of its head again.

The black bear shook his head, a little confused.

Li Banfeng looked at the key on the bear's back and felt a little anxious.

When the black bear rushed over, Li Banfeng ran away immediately. As soon as the black bear turned around, Li Banfeng threw stones at it.

After throwing sixteen stones in succession, the black bear stopped chasing and did not return to the cave. It just lay on the ground motionless.

Li Banfeng walked closer and found that the black bear was not dead or unconscious. Its eyes were open and it was still breathing. There was a bloody spot on the back of its head.

Is it giving up on itself?

Li Banfeng picked up a stone.

The black bear roared and immediately got up.

Li Banfeng put the stone down.

The black bear lay on the ground again, motionless.

According to Li Banfeng's understanding, this means, don't throw stones, and talk things over.

Li Banfeng plucked up his courage, came behind the black bear, snatched the key, turned around and ran away.

Not until Li Banfeng's figure completely disappeared did the black bear get up from the ground and slowly crawl back to the cave.

Li Banfeng, holding the key and covered in dust and mud, walked out of the jungle and went down halfway up the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Banfeng picked up two stones, put them in his backpack, and weighed them. They were about the same weight as the copper lotus.

The bait must be made more realistic. Although it is very heavy, Lu Xiu is in good physical condition and can handle it.

Coming to such a strange place, Li Banfeng should have no way of telling the direction.

But Li Banfeng was not only able to accurately identify the direction, he also found a main road based on the position of the sun and footprints on the road.

This is the gift of the traveler.

Li Banfeng can run faster than a black bear in complex and harsh terrain. This is also the talent of a traveler.

The stone hits so accurately and hard, is this the talent of a traveler or a homebody?

These need to be verified later. The most important thing right now is to find He Jiaqing as soon as possible.

This so-called main road is a relatively flat and spacious dirt road. Judging from its width, two ox carts can pass side by side.

Why is a bullock cart used to measure the width of a road?

Because there really was a bullock cart on the road.

Li Banfeng met an old man driving a ox cart and asked where he could charge his battery.

"Electricity? That's hard to find. The village chief doesn't have it at home! Let's go to Ligou to check!"

According to the old man's introduction, Li Banfeng had a certain understanding of Yaowanggou.

Yaowanggou is a town, a very large town, divided into Ligou and Waigou.

Waigou is very large and includes all the villages under Yaowanggou.

Li Gou is the center of the town. Li Banfeng gave the old man thirty yuan. The old man drove a ox cart and took Li Banfeng to Li Gou.

The ox cart traveled from morning to dusk and arrived at Ligou. Night was falling. Standing on the gravel-paved archway street, Li Banfeng was wondering where to go next.

Although He Jiaqing sent the address, Li Banfeng only remembered Paifang Street. He wanted to know the exact location and had to find a place to charge his mobile phone.

There is a small shop on the street with a sign that says Feng Ji Grocery Store. There are lights on, so there should be electricity.

Li Banfeng entered the grocery store and saw two candles lit on the counter. Only then did he realize that what he had just seen was not electric light but candlelight.

The grocery store owner, wearing a long gown with a slanting collar, stood behind the counter and greeted us with a smile: "What would you like to order?"

Behind the counter is a shelf, on which various groceries are densely piled.

Li Banfeng asked: "Is there a place to charge?"

"Charge?" The boss seemed to have heard a very strange word, "We don't have electricity here, why don't you go to Lao Xu's in Yuanzheng Street and ask?"

Yuanzheng Street?

Where is that place?

Li Banfeng really didn't want to leave anymore.

"Do you know that there is a man named He Jiaqing living on Paifang Street?" Li Banfeng asked anyway even though he knew there was no hope.

The boss thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know He Jiaqing, but I do know the He family's old house.

Go east along the street, turn south at the second intersection, and walk to Xianchuanzi Hutong. There is a house with a separate entrance and courtyard. That is the He family’s old house.”

The He family’s old house?

Could it be He Jiaqing’s home?

Very likely!

The boss was a nice guy, and to express his gratitude, Li Banfeng decided to buy something from them.

What is suitable to buy?

Li Banfeng looked for a moment and took a fancy to a feather duster.

The handle of this feather duster is very straight, with a lot of feathers in various colors, which looks very impressive.

It’s your first visit, so you can’t go empty-handed. This feather duster is a perfect gift for He Jiaqing.

Li Banfeng also chose a top hat.

The material of the top hats in the grocery store was not very good, but the styles were acceptable. Li Banfeng picked out a black top hat and put it on immediately.

His mountaineering hat was a bit similar to the one worn by the rickshaw puller, but after putting on the top hat, his temperament immediately elevated to a higher level.

"Boss, how much are these two items?"

The boss looked at Li Banfeng's clothes and asked with a smile: "Do you want to use Huanguo currency or foreign currency? If you have currency from other countries, I can also exchange it for it."

In this place, you always have to confirm the type of currency before doing business.

Li Banfeng had no foreign currency and no banknotes from other countries, so he naturally chose the Huan Guo banknotes.

The top hat is thirty-one dollars and sixty dollars, and the feather duster is seven dollars and eighty dollars.

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat, holding a feather duster, and walked from the street into the alley like a mysterious gentleman walking in the night.

The He family's old house is easy to find. In this narrow alley, houses are built one after another, with almost no gaps between the walls of the two houses. There is only one house with its own entrance and courtyard.

There are bluestone walls on all four sides, forming a courtyard with a flower garden. Behind the flower garden is a two-story Western-style house with blue bricks and red tiles, and vines hanging on the walls, exuding a luxurious and unique atmosphere everywhere.

In this small town, such a house is really eye-catching.

Is this really He Jiaqing’s home?

Jiaqing’s family is well off!

Then why was he moving stones in the first place?

There was a faint fishy smell in this house, which made Li Banfeng feel a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't like eating fish. Even if he doesn't eat meat for a month in the welfare home, he still won't eat fish.

There’s no fish seller nearby, where does the fishy smell come from?

Li Banfeng came to the iron gate and didn't know how to knock on such a door.

Such a big mansion should at least have a security guard, right?

After looking for a while, Li Banfeng didn't see the guard, so he pushed the iron door. The door hinge made a harsh friction sound and the door opened.

Is it appropriate to go in like this?

Jiaqing would definitely not bother with me. If it wasn’t Jiaqing’s home, I would just think that I had gone to the wrong place and I guess no one would bother with me.

Li Banfeng walked across the yard and came directly to the door of the villa.

A figure suddenly appeared by the French window on the first floor and then disappeared.

The other party only flashed for a moment at the window. If it were the previous Li Banfeng, he would not have noticed this figure that flashed in an instant.

But today Li Banfeng can see very clearly, his eyesight is very different from before.

There is someone in this house, and judging from the speed at which he is moving, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Li Banfeng held the feather duster in his right hand and gently knocked on the door with his left hand.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The knocking sound was gentle and slow, very graceful.

Meow!

A black cat suddenly jumped from the second floor to the door, looked at Li Banfeng, wagged its tail, and took two steps back.

Li Banfeng was startled, and suddenly he heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the door: "Is that Banfeng?"

It’s He Jiaqing’s voice!

Li Banfeng let out a long breath and said loudly, "It's me, open the door."

After waiting for nearly half a minute, the door opened.

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "Why did you wait so long?"

He Jiaqing stood at the door and stared at Li Banfeng for a long time: "Brother, you are finally here."

"I'm here," Li Banfeng took off his backpack and smiled bitterly, "It wasn't easy coming here."

He Jiaqing took the backpack and asked, "Why are you carrying such a shabby bag?"

Li Banfeng was stunned: "Is this bag broken?"

He Jiaqing laughed and said, "How can it not be broken? The thread is all broken. Where did you buy this broken bag?"

"Where did you buy it?" Li Banfeng's brows relaxed, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled: "I forgot, I think it was given as a gift when I topped up my phone bill."

He Jiaqing weighed the bag and asked, "Is the stuff in the bag?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "It's not in my bag. I left it at the train station."
