Chapter 23 Finally Found You

How did the key end up on the bear's back?

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

Before entering the door, Li Banfeng threw the key into the weeds.

The bear was scratching its itch in the weeds, and it happened to take the key away, and took the key all the way back to its 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 hurriedly caught up, picked up a stone, and hit the bear's back.

The black bear could not be allowed to enter the cave. If the key fell into the dark cave, it would be too difficult to find it back.

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

Unfortunately, this was not within five meters. He was dozens of meters away from the black bear, and it was not easy to hit the black bear.

The stone did not hit the key, but hit the back of the black bear's head.

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

Li Banfeng also ran. The black bear chased for a while, but found that it still couldn't 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 family. If you get close to it again, it will definitely make you pay with your life.

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

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 furious black bear gathered all his strength and knocked down a tree next to the cave, showing his strength to Li Banfeng.

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

The black bear shook its head, a little confused.

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

The black bear rushed over, and Li Banfeng ran away immediately. As long as the black bear turned around, Li Banfeng would throw stones.

He threw sixteen stones in a row, but the black bear stopped chasing him and did not return to the cave. It lay on the ground and did not move.

Li Banfeng walked closer and found that the black bear was not dead or fainted. It opened its eyes and was still panting. There was a bloody red on the back of its head.

Did it give 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 meant that he should not throw stones and that he could discuss things.

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

It was not until Li Banfeng's figure completely disappeared that the black bear got up from the ground and slowly crawled back to the cave.

Li Banfeng walked out of the jungle and walked down the mountain halfway with the key in his pocket, covered in dust and mud.

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, Lv Xiu is in good physical condition and can still bear it.

Coming to such an unfamiliar place, Li Banfeng should not be able to identify the direction.

But Li Banfeng can not only accurately identify the direction, but also find a road based on the position of the sun and the footprints on the road.

This is the talent of the traveler.

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

The stone hits accurately and fiercely. Is this the talent of the traveler or the talent of the home repairer?

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

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

Why use an ox cart to measure the width of the road?

Because there is really an ox cart on the road.

Li Banfeng met an old man driving an ox cart and asked where to charge.

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

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, including all the villages under Yaowanggou.

Ligou is the center of the town. Li Banfeng gave the old man 30 yuan. The old man drove the ox cart and took Li Banfeng to Ligou.

The ox cart drove from morning to dusk. When we arrived in Ligou, night was approaching. Standing on the gravel-paved archway street, Li Banfeng was thinking about where to go next.

Although He Jiaqing sent the address, Li Banfeng only remembered the archway street. If he wanted to know the specific location, he had to find a place to charge his mobile phone.

There was a small shop on the street. The sign said Fengji Grocery Store. There was a light on here, 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 saw just now was not electric lights, but candlelight.

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

Behind the counter was a shelf, on which various groceries were densely piled.

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

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

Yuanzheng Street?

What place is that?

Li Banfeng really didn't want to go any further.

"Do you know that there is a man named He Jiaqing living in Paifang Street?" Although he knew there was no hope, Li Banfeng still asked.

The boss thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know He Jiaqing, but I 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 door 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!

This boss is a good person. To express his gratitude, Li Banfeng decided to buy something from them.

What should I buy?

Li Banfeng looked for a moment and saw a feather duster.

This feather duster has a straight rod, a lot of feathers, and is colorful and very impressive.

It's the first time to visit, so you can't go empty-handed. This feather duster is very suitable as a gift for He Jiaqing.

Li Banfeng also chose a hat.

The hat in the grocery store is not made of good material, but the style is acceptable. Li Banfeng picked a black hat and put it on immediately.

His mountaineering hat was a bit like the rickshaw driver's, but after putting on the top hat, his temperament was immediately elevated to a higher level.

"Boss, how much are these two things?"

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

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

Li Banfeng had no foreign currency or foreign currency, so he naturally chose Huanguo banknotes.

The top hat was thirty-one yuan and sixty cents, and the feather duster was seven yuan and eighty cents.

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat, holding the feather duster, like a mysterious gentleman walking through the night, from the street to the alley.

The He family's old house is easy to find. In this narrow alley, there are houses one after another, and there is almost no gap between the walls of the two houses. There is only one house with a separate door and courtyard.

The four sides of the house are surrounded by bluestone walls, 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, which is luxurious and unique.

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

Is this really He Jiaqing's home?

Jiaqing's family is not bad!

Then why did he move stones in the first place?

It's just that this house has a faint fishy smell, which makes Li Banfeng feel a little uncomfortable.

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

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

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

Such a big house should at least have a guard, right?

After looking for a while, Li Banfeng didn't see the guard, so he pushed on the iron gate, squeak~, the door hinge made a harsh friction sound, and the door opened just like that.

Is it appropriate to go in like this?

Jiaqing will definitely not bother me. If it is not Jiaqing's house, I will think that I have gone to the wrong place, and I guess no one will bother me.

Li Banfeng walked through 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 by the window. If it were the previous Li Banfeng, he would not notice the figure that flashed in an instant.

But today's Li Banfeng saw it very clearly, and his vision was very different from before.

There is someone in this house. Judging from the speed of movement, it is definitely not an ordinary person.

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

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The knocking sound was soft and slow, very graceful.

Meow!

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

Li Banfeng was startled, and suddenly heard a familiar voice from the door: "Is it Banfeng?"

It was 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 said: "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 am here," Li Banfeng took off his backpack and smiled bitterly, "It's not easy to get here."

He Jiaqing took the backpack casually: "Why are you carrying such a broken bag?"

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

He Jiaqing smiled: "Why not? The thread is 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, it seems to be a gift for recharging my phone bill."

He Jiaqing weighed the bag and asked: "Is the thing in the bag?"

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