After saying this, Baldy Chu took out a photo from his big leather bag and handed it to Wuxie, "Look, this is what I brought out of that house."
Wuxie took the photo and looked at it carefully. The figure in the photo looked strange, with slumped shoulders. Turning over the back of the photo, he saw a few words written on it: "Golmud Sanatorium".
Wuxie instantly recalled the tape that had been sent to him before, in which the person was struggling to crawl on the ground, and Huo Ling whom he had met in the nursing home.
The fat man took the photo from Wuxie, looked at it and said, "Looking at the furnishings on it, it should be a little earlier than the one in the video."
Wu Xie quickly asked Chu Guangtou: "Do you have any other photos?"
Bald Chu shook his head and said, "Oh, Third Master, please stop joking. I almost didn't make it out of there. How could I possibly have so many photos? So, was it worth the money? If you're interested, you can go take a look. You might be able to find some photos there."
As he spoke, Chu Guangtou took out another piece of paper and handed it to Wu Xie. "By the way, this is the address. If you really want to go there, you'll probably have to endure some hardships on the way. You'll have to take a plane, then a train, then a bus, then a bullock cart..."
"It doesn't matter. It's not the first time anyway." Wuxie smiled.
After the conversation, Chu Guangtou left the restaurant. After he walked away, he took out his phone and asked, "Boss Shen, that just now... was it okay? What about my money...?"
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Very good, the money will be in your account once they arrive. Don't worry."
Baldy Chu nodded and smiled into the phone, "Okay, okay, thank you, Boss Shen!"
It was three days later when Wuxie and his friends arrived in Banai. An old man enthusiastically took Wuxie and his friends into the village.
"Be careful, it's just ahead."
Wuxie, Zhang Qiling and others followed the old man into a fenced courtyard, which was the old man's home.
"Boss, this is my home. How is it? It's big enough, right?" The old man looked at Wuxie and the others with a smile.
The fat man looked around and said, "This place is great! It's suitable for retirement. This village is also quite new, suitable for investment!"
Wuxie smiled helplessly and said nothing.
The old man followed up on the fat man's words and said, "Boss Fat, you really have a good eye. You're right. We have a few tourists coming here from time to time. A few days ago, a young man with long hair came and stayed here too!"
"A young man with long hair? Do you know his name?" Wuxie asked hurriedly.
The old man thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "I think his name was... Oops, I forgot, but there's a "Chuan" character in his name. I can't remember the rest. Oh, yes, that young man, with white hair at such a young age, I remember that very clearly!"
"It's him!" Zhang Qiling looked at Wuxie.
Wuxie nodded, then turned around and continued to ask: "Do you know where he is now?"
The old man clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "What a coincidence! That young man just left this morning. Hey, don't stand outside and talk. Come inside and invite him in!"
Wuxie had to stop asking questions. The three of them went into the house, which was very clean. When the old man said that he had a daughter, the fat man became excited and his eyes lit up.
In the evening, several people gathered around the table. The fat man and the old man were drinking. Wu Xie handed the old man a note, which was the address that Chu Guangtou had given him before.
"Uncle Gui, take a look, do you know this place?" Wuxie asked.
Agui took the note and looked at it carefully. He said, "Oh! This place is right above our village. It's been abandoned for a long time. That young man has been there before. So, I'll take you there tomorrow. It's dark now, so you won't be able to see clearly."
Wu Xie smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, we just came here to take a look at the scale of the entire village."
The fat man then raised his glass and took over the conversation, "Come on, buddy, let's go for another one!"
At this time, the daughter that Agui had mentioned before came up with a plate of food. The fat man stared at her and even forgot to drink.
The girl was Yuncai, and the fat man fell in love with her immediately. Every move of Yuncai attracted him.
Seeing the fat man staring at his daughter, Agui smiled and introduced her, "This is my daughter Yuncai."
The fat man couldn't help but sigh: "The mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful!"
The fat man's action made Zhang Qiling look sideways and he stood up and left the table.
Seeing this, Agui quickly changed the subject, "Boss Fat, I'm the first one to bring outsiders here for tourism, and I've long felt that our place is very suitable for developing tourism!"
The fat man nodded halfheartedly, his soul still following the clouds. After listening to Agui, the fat man patted him and said, "Brother, no! Uncle, listen to me, I have been wandering in the world for so many years! I have nothing but money!"
After hearing what the fat man said, Wuxie tactically picked up the cup and took a sip of water. He felt guilty for the fat man.
"The world is vast, and there's a lot to do! Uncle Gui, look, we're so close..."
The fat man was still bragging, Wuxie couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and left the table to find Zhang Qiling. At this time, Zhang Qiling was standing under the photo frame of Agui's house, looking at something.
When Wuxie approached, he saw Chen Wenjing in the photo frame. He thought Zhang Qiling had also seen this and was thinking about what had happened before. In fact, if Wuxie hadn't said it, Zhang Qiling would not have noticed the photo of Chen Wenjing.
Zhang Qiling was looking at another photo, which was placed aside by Agui. The content of the photo was unremarkable, a group photo of several people. The background was the stilt house where he used to live. Among those people, there were two young ones, namely him and Ji Huaichuan, and the rest were Agui's grandfathers.
