Shenxing Taibao was obviously very familiar with this county town. He took us here for a few turns and turned to a very secluded alley. Through the alley and to the end, he saw a lush sycamore tree. There was a door under the sycamore tree, which was opened on one side, painted with red paint, and the paint was mottled. We pushed open the wooden door and saw a stone table in the yard, and there were several stone benches beside the stone table. On each stone bench were people. Some were thin as firewood, some were fat as a bell, some were short in figure, and some were long hands and feet. Just look at it and you could tell that this was a group of strangers in the world.

The Shenxing Taibao took us past the stone table, but did not stop, but walked straight to the last house along the brick corridor. He lifted up the door curtain, pushed open the door, and with the help of the sunlight shot through the skylight, I saw an old man with long white hair and long beard sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle under the back wall of the room, who was smoking a hookah. The old man seemed to be immersed in the pleasure of hookah. When he heard us walk in, his face and eyelids didn't raise his eyelids even when he heard us coming in.

The second uncle, the fake blind man, and the Shenxing Taibao all bowed and stood up, and I also bowed and stood up.

The second uncle, a fake blind man, shouted in unison: "Greetings to the head of the helm." I also shouted quickly, but unfortunately I only said the word "master".

The old man asked: "Are you all here?"

The second uncle replied respectfully: "Everything is here."

The old man said: "Everyone here can be arranged as you wish, just squeak whatever you need."

The second uncle quickly said, "Thank you, the helm leader."

The old man said: "When you leave Dabie Mountains and arrive at the Jianghuai Line, you can use the title of the leader when you encounter difficulties."

The second uncle was so grateful that he knelt down and said, "Thank you, the chief leader." Seeing the second uncle kneeling down, I quickly knelt down. When I heard the second uncle say, I quickly said, but I only caught up with the last word "master".

We walked out of the hut, and Shenxing Taibao did not follow us. The fake blind man invited us to have dinner in a restaurant, and they ate the most famous mutton stewed cake of this generation.

The fake blind man said: "All the nets have been spread out, and there will be news in two days. You can wait patiently in the county."

I was thinking about the majestic and white-haired old man in my heart, so I asked the second uncle who he was.

The second uncle said respectfully: "He is the head of the helm, south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River. He was once the imperial master of the imperial palace and the guest of the Lao Buddha. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in the Dabie Mountains for twenty years. As long as the title of the helm leader is mentioned in the world, no one will buy it or do anything that cannot be done."

I thought to myself, Master is so powerful that even the leader of the head came forward to help him. I am Master’s only disciple and will definitely become famous in the world in the future.

The next afternoon, the fake blind man brought news. He said that all the people who went out to detect the detectives were back. Shenxing Taibao had already found out about the whereabouts of the woman. At present, Shenxing Taibao was following him and sent his companions back to report the message. The direction was South.

The fake blind man also said that whenever the Shenxing Taibao crosses the road or turns, he would leave a mark, marked as a knife.

When the second uncle heard this, he was extremely excited. He took me on the carriage and drove along the road leading to the southeast.

The carriage ran for half an hour, and the sun was westward. When it encountered a three-way intersection, the second uncle asked the carriage to stop. The carriage pulled up the gate. After a squeaking sound, the carriage stopped, and the horse's four hooves were still restlessly pedaling on the ground. The second uncle said to me: "Go down and see if you can see if you are down, you will still cut the carriage."

The second uncle said the slander of the world, so that Master Che was not allowed to hear it. We were walking to the south and encountered two forks of the road, one to the east and the other to the west. In the slander of the world, the east is called the slander, the west is called the slander, the knife is called Qingzi, and the hidden weapon is called the slander. The second uncle said that if I got off the car, I saw that there was a mark of a knife at the intersection of the east or the intersection of the west.

I got out of the car and looked, and saw a knife about four inches long carved on a tall tree trunk at the intersection on the east side. The knife was very delicate, with curved handles and sharp edges. The tip of the knife pointed to the east.

I climbed onto the carriage and pointed to the east. The second uncle said, "Go east." The carriage began to run east again.

As dusk approached, the carriage came to a village. The dog in the village saw a carriage suddenly coming and immediately chased behind. A few children saw the carriage coming and chased behind. After we passed through the village, we saw the road turning toward the side. I jumped out of the carriage and saw a knife left by Shen Xingtai on the brick wall of a family at the edge of the village. The knife was still very exquisitely carved.

The village is not far ahead, and there is a town. The roads in the town are narrow and there are few pedestrians. A group of people stand in the middle of the street, arching their backs to look at what is on the ground.

The group blocked the way of the carriage and we had to jump out of the carriage.

As soon as we walked to the group of people, someone said, "It's amazing. Look at this young man, he won seven or eight silver dollars in a flash."

I looked into the crowd and saw a young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, with two porcelain bowls pressed on the ground. The young man picked up the porcelain bowl and showed you a small furry red ball at the bottom of the bowl on the left hand and the bottom of the bowl on the right hand was empty. Then, his hands were intertwined, and the two porcelain bowls were exchanged over and over, asking you to guess which bowl had a small ball at the bottom.

A young man gave a piece of silver dollar to the young man sitting on the ground. The young man started to turn the bowl. After the young man stopped, he pointed and said, "There is a bottom of this bowl." The young man opened the bottom of the bowl and found that there were furry red balls under it. The young man had to give two silver dollars to the young man. The young man quickly earned more than a dozen silver dollars when he operated like this.

I felt itchy and squeezed in. The boy immediately stopped and said to me, "The money has been almost gone, I'm leaving, come on."

I squatted down happily, watching the young man put the ball under the bowl of his left hand, but after turning around, I was confused and lost a silver dollar.

I didn't believe that I couldn't see it correctly, so I gave another silver dollar. This time, the ball was still under the bowl on the left. I stared at the bowl tightly, not believing where he could go. The young man was reciting the mantra while turning: "Play your sharp eyes, play with my hands quickly, and win or lose, there was only one piece of the ocean." I clearly saw the bowl on the left, but the bottom of the bowl was flipped up, and there was no small ball.

Both oceans were exported, and I was a little anxious. Master only gave me two oceans in a month. I touched them from my pocket and took out another one, wanting to give them to the young man sitting on the ground.

Suddenly, someone came from behind me and he said, "Dao Dog, go quickly."

A dozen people gathered around us all at once and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you lose first and then win, this is common sense." The second uncle and I wanted to squeeze out, but they lined up into a dense wall of people and couldn't squeeze out. Someone's hands had already started searching for me and the second uncle.

The second uncle said: "It's all about Lao Hai, what's this for?"

Those people were startled and their arms were put off our bodies.

The young man sitting on the ground stood up and asked, "Which road is the zithering zither?"

The second uncle said: "He is a preface."

The people dodged aside and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Let's go." The young man also returned me the two silver dollars that he won me, and he said, "This brother has just made his debut."

The second uncle said: "I haven't gone to the world yet, so I'll take it out to see the world."

The young man said, "What are the difficulties you have? Tell your brother."

The second uncle thanked them and pulled me into the carriage, which drove out of the town.

Just now, the second uncle told them that they were all in the world, so why did they do it and not make things difficult for us. They asked us which brother we were on. The second uncle said we were fortune tellers. They saw that everyone was from the world, so they let us go.

Sitting in the car, I was thinking about the scene just now, and I couldn't understand. I was staring at the left bowl and putting a small ball under the left bowl, but why did I stop seeing the small ball after turning it all over?

I asked the second uncle, and the second uncle said, "This is a swallow tail. You watched the small ball put in it. In fact, the moment you pressed the bowl, your vision was blocked and the small ball was sandwiched in his fingers. So, no matter which bowl you turn, there was no small ball at the bottom of the bowl."

Oh, so that's it. Swallowtail is also a slander, referring to a fraud gang.

I was deeply shocked. There were so many interesting and terrifying things in the world, and there were such a group of people of different shapes. If you were not a person in the world, you only saw streets, houses, men, and women. If you were a person in the world, you saw another completely different world.

Originally, this group of swallowtails had already surprised me, but I didn't expect that in the short time, we encountered another group of swallowtails.

Because we were eager to catch up with Shenxing, the second uncle asked us to continue moving forward. He heard that there was a county town thirty miles ahead, so we decided to stay in the county town tonight.

It was almost midnight, and we finally arrived at the county town. However, strangely, the gate of this county town was not closed. When we came to the city wall, we found that the city walls collapsed in many places, and there were holes as thick as buckets in some places. The county town was dim, with only a few lights flashing like ghost fires, and there were faint crying sounds drifting with the wind, which sounded terrifying. We seemed to walk into a chasm and suddenly felt fear in our hearts.

However, we have nowhere to stay except here.

The second uncle said, "Go in first."

The carriage ran over the bluestone street, and the sound of bells and wheels sounded extremely loud in this quiet dark night. Two people walked out of the darkness, lit the torches in their hands and asked what we were doing.

The second uncle jumped out of the carriage and said that we were in business and missed the accommodation because we were rushing to the night.

The two men came to the carriage with torches in hand, took photos of the three of us up and down, and then said, "There is no inn in the county."

The second uncle thought they were lying, so he said, "Any inn can be used, a woodshed can be used."

One of the two people said, "There are chaos and no war, who will go out to travel at night? The inn has no business and is closed."

Another person said: "The inn owners are gone. We had just fought a war a few days ago. The people were so scared that they hid on the mountain. The city walls were broken and many houses in the city were burned down. After the army left, some of them went down the mountain and returned to the city."

The second uncle asked: "Who fights with whom?"

A man who was tying a torch said, "Only one knows. He wears green, blue, black, yellow, and different accents of his speech. Who knows who is fighting with whom. After a while, the people are suffering. The corn in the field looks mature, and no one dares to collect it, and it is all rotten in the field."

The second uncle said, "Yes, I'm going to fight, what does it mean to hit? I won't live a peaceful life?"

The two men saw that we were honest people, so they let us live in a house near the city gate. They said they were close to the city gate, but in fact there was no more city gate. The city gate had been bombarded into pieces by shells and burned to ashes by the war.

The master only has five days, and now three days have passed.

If the woman is not found within five days, will the shopkeeper kill the master?

I think, it will. The shopkeeper killed three fortune tellers, and he didn't care about killing one more. Master is a famous figure in our physiognomy world, but no one should have heard of him in the bandit world.

The world is different from the world, just like the industry is different.
