Chapter 178 The Beekeeper

At this time, the bus also arrived at the station.

I got out of the car in a daze, and couldn't even take care of which direction I walked.

Suddenly, someone patted my shoulder: "Come with me!"

I looked back in surprise and saw a 24 or 25-year-old black-faced young man standing behind me.

He is not too tall or strong, but he is very strong. His dark face is shining with two small bright eyes. He looks extremely ordinary, but he has a sense of shrewdness.

"You are Brother Zhang, right? I am Hook." The man was stunned when he saw me and introduced himself.

I have never seen this person before, and he has never called me. There are so many people in the station, how did he find me all at once?

"Don't stand there, hurry up and you won't get on the bus later." He urged me in a hurry when I saw that I was still thinking.

"If you can't catch the bus, where will you go?" I was even more surprised.

"Aren't you looking for someone who sells armor everywhere and has worked in Factory 235? Then you can only go to the old factory to find clues first. There is only one train to the car there a day and it will be about to drive. If you miss it, you won't be able to catch up. I see that you are so anxious, so you definitely don't want to go tomorrow, right?"

After he said this, I was even more confused.

When Li Mazi asked him to help me, he might have already told the armor in advance, but I just learned about the news about Factory 235. How did he know about it?

And I have even found the address of the old factory. Is this kid a magician?

Of course, since Li Mazi recommended him, it is naturally extremely reliable. I have no doubt about this at all, just curious.

While walking forward with him, I asked in confusion: "How did you know about Factory 235?"

Hu Ke smiled and showed his shiny white teeth: "Brother Li told me that you came to Zhengding to find someone who had sold armor. I just saw that you were uneasy after getting off the car, and it seemed that you were a little uncertain about which direction you were going. But when you saw a station sign suddenly lit up and stared for three or four seconds. You were staring at the end of the station sign, and the one you wrote was factory No. 235."

"From this, I know that the clue must be related to Factory 235, so I naturally have to take you to the old factory to see it." Hook explained.

"Awesome!" After hearing his explanation, I gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Oh, by the way!" I suddenly realized: "Li Mazi said you have been a soldier, you are a scout, right? Not everyone has this skill."

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, you are not simple either." Hook grinned.

"The old factory in 235 is about to leave, hurry up." Not far away, a fat black middle-aged woman shouted loudly.

Behind her was a dilapidated minibus, which were crowded with farmers returning home. When we went up, we saw that there were no seats, but there was only one train a day, so we had to buy tickets reluctantly.

Soon, the minibus drove out of the city and turned onto a dirt slope.

Just in front of the soil slope, several farmers came up, squeezed everyone into their chests and put them on their backs, like sardines in cans.

The mountain road was already bumpy, and there were so many people in the car. When it swayed, it would be a lot of trouble. From time to time, there was a smell of feet and smell of stinky farts. I was so fumigated that I almost vomited out several times.

"Master, stop!"

I don’t know how long I have been, but Hook, who was standing beside me, finally shouted at the driver, and then pulled me: “Brother Zhang, let’s get off here.”

I quickly ran out of the car, leaned on my knees with both hands, and retching for a long time before I took a breath.

"The old factory in the 235th is in the mountains. Let's climb over here to save time." After Hu Ke said that, he walked towards the mountain road.

The reason for getting off the bus halfway seemed very reliable, but I knew he must have seen that I couldn't stand it anymore, so he changed his mind temporarily.

I looked up at him and followed closely behind.

On weekdays, I feel that my physical fitness is pretty good. I use Yin-Yang Sword Technique three times, which means I feel a little sweaty, so I naturally don’t regard climbing a mountain as a matter of trouble.

But after really climbing the mountain, I realized that compared to this kid, I was as weak as a little kid.

He walked quickly, talking and laughing to me while walking, how did he know Li Mazi?

He was a vanguard in the army, but after he changed his career, he found that he could not use all his abilities he was proud of. The only reliable thing was that he could drive, so he worked as a long-distance bus driver for a while.

Once when I was passing Wuhan, there was a long queue on the expressway.

He was so bored that he turned over and jumped out of the car, wanting to breathe.

However, his jumping off the car was also blocked on the road, and Li Mazi, who was smoking in silence, saw it!

Li Mazi is a person who knows the goods. He was attracted by his extremely beautiful movements and immediately handed over a cigarette: "Brother, have you been a soldier."

Then, the two started chatting like this, but they didn't expect that the more they talked, they became more and more versatile. Then they left phone calls and often contacted each other.

Later, Li Mazi also invested in opening a small plastic steel factory with him in Zhengding. Although the two did not meet often, their relationship was very strong.

So, this time, as soon as I received a call from Li Mazi, Hook arrived immediately without saying a word!

"Brother Li said, you are his best brother and saved his life. This time I really encountered an urgent matter, so I asked me to help." Hook said and looked back at me: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I promise to do my best."

I gasped and said, "Thank you, then."

After a while, I was so tired that I couldn't walk anymore, so he asked me to rest first and crawl into the woods by myself.

After a while, he walked back with a big leaf. It was filled with clear water and emitted a faint rosin. "This is birch sap. Drinking a little bit can relieve thirst and fatigue."

I took it and drank it in one sip and felt much better immediately.

I stood up and was about to leave when the phone rang again. When I looked down, I saw that it was Li Mazi. I quickly pressed the switch button.

"Brother Zhang, haven't you read WeChat?" Li Mazi asked anxiously.

"No, what's wrong?"

"Wu Lao Yao's grandson said that his grandfather remembered again. The man's surname was Zhao and boasted that he was a descendant of Zhao Yun, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. That armor was worn by Zhao Yun during the Northern Expedition." Li Mazi said.

"But you just listen to it as a joke. My surname is Li. Then isn't my ancestor Li Shimin?" Li Mazi hung up the phone with a laugh.

I followed Xiaoxiao and was about to continue on the way, but Hu Ke suddenly seemed to have something: "Brother Zhang, the person who sells the arsenal is Zhao? He also calls himself a descendant of Zhao Yun?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"If this is true, then I will know who he is!" Hook replied with great certainty.

"What do you mean?" I became interested.

"Just in the mountains ahead, there is a beekeeper named Zhao Shihua. When he was young, he also worked in the 235 factory. He and my father were old comrades-in-arms. He told everyone that he was Zhao Yun's descendants, and others were obsessed with it because he gave him a nickname called Zhao Zisun. But I have never heard of any armor in his family?"

"No matter how many, find him first." When I heard this, I was extremely happy to have another step closer to hope.

I don’t know if it was because of drinking birch sap or finding a glimmer of hope. Although the journey ahead was even more difficult, I didn’t feel any fatigue.

Before dark, we finally arrived at a small village.

There is an extremely thick willow tree growing at the entrance of the village, and three or four people must hold hands before they can be hugged.

The big willow tree had long been dead, extending on all sides, like a demonic hand, catching the full moon in the sky with its teeth and claws.

Most of the houses in the village are dark, and only a few houses have lights on them.

As soon as we got closer, the dogs in the village started to scream one after another. At first, they were still coming one after another, but soon they became one in a group, barking in unison with rhythm.

"Well, wool! wool!" Hook suddenly learned to bark, which was simply vivid.

I don’t know where he learned this trick, but the dogs seemed to understand it, and their voices gradually became smaller.

"Even if you say hello to them, you won't bite us anymore." Hook laughed.

"Your ability is really special." I was speechless.

"What are you doing?" We had just walked into the village not far away, and a flashlight came out at the same time.

We squinted our eyes and then we could see clearly a pair of old men and women standing in front of us.

"Uncle, we are looking for Master Zhao and want to buy some honey." Hook replied loudly.

"Master Zhao? He has long stopped living in the village. He is with honey in the big valley there." The old man pointed his hand.

"Auntie, where is it?" I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

There were mountains everywhere, and it was dark. She raised her hand and pointed, where can I find this?

"No, I can find it." Hook comforted me, thanked the old lady again, and then pulled me and turned away.

"Do you know where he is?" I asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Hook nodded: "But I have to wait until tomorrow morning."

It was already dark, and it was impossible for us to go back.

The villagers were very vigilant, and it was not appropriate for us to stay here, so we simply stayed in the mountains for one night.

Hook was a reconnaissance vanguard, so it was naturally no problem to survive in the wild. Although the conditions were a little difficult, he had a good time to settle food, drink and accommodation, and there was no danger. Not to mention snakes and insects, even mosquitoes were unable to get close to them.

I was exhausted this day and just closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, I was awakened by a scent of fragrance in a daze.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that this guy caught a big rabbit and was baking it on the fire.

We finished eating the birch sap that we had accumulated for a night. Hook clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, Brother Zhang, the guide is here."

"Guide?" I turned my head and looked around. It was quiet. How could anyone have any figures?

"Where is it?" I asked with some confusion.

"Isn't that?" Hook smiled and pointed at me.

I liked it, and a bee fell on a small flower.

"Oh! So this is the guide." I suddenly woke up.
