Chapter 3: The Mystery of One's Birth (6)

  "Xiao Luo woke up?" Old Jin Tou said, bringing the dishes over. He continued to say: "Later, let Jin Douzi take you to Bei Ou Village. To be honest, I really don't know what kind of letter you want to send. That place..."

  Old Jin hesitated to speak, then poured me a glass of wine. Although I was puzzled in my heart, after all, today the clouds dispersed and the sun rose again, aren't we still alive?

  After breakfast, Jin Douzi took me over the mountain and continued to walk deep into the canyon. He held that wild chicken in his arms all the time, silent and speechless. Every time I talked to him, he always gave me a smile with an innocent face, but perhaps because of that story, I always felt that Jin Douzi's smile was a bit strange.

  As we walked through the wasteland, Jin Douzi suddenly pulled me to the edge and we continued walking for about five miles before finally seeing the legendary Beigua Village.

  "Ah, I almost lost my life trying to find this place, but fortunately, I met a kind person. Beigua Village is right in front of me, but Jin Douzi suddenly stopped in her tracks."

  I looked at him with a puzzled expression, although I didn't understand, but still took big strides forward. At this time, Jin Douzi suddenly grabbed me fiercely. Although Jin Douzi looked young, the force in his hand was not small, like a tiger's claw that tightly clamped me, and instantly, my fingers felt a numbness.

  "Hey, you little brat, let go!" The stinging sensation ignited a surge of anger within me.

  Jin Douzi heard my loud shout, the force in his hand slightly decreased but he still didn't let go, his eyes staring straight at me. At this moment, I noticed that all the goosebumps on his body had emerged, looking somewhat terrifying.

  I bent down and looked at Jin Douzi and said: "What's wrong with you?"

  Jīn dòu zi's body began to shake, as if the sheep horn wind was acting up again, but this time it was a bit different. Although his body was shaking, Jīn dòu zi's eyes were clear and calm.

  After a while, Jin Douzi returned to normal, and the signature smile reappeared at the corner of his mouth: "Luo Gege, let's not enter the village!"

  His words made me more and more curious, after all, the end point of my trip was Beigua Village, which was already in sight at this time. It would be unreasonable to turn back no matter what.

  "Why?" I asked somewhat displeased.

  Jin Douzi's mouth moved a couple of times, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to get it out. After a long time, I finally got impatient and said: "Jin Douzi, let me go, wait here for me, I'll send the letter and come back right away."

  As I spoke, I tried to shake off Jin Douzi's hand, but he stubbornly stood his ground and refused to let go. I was getting angry, so I shouted, "Let go quickly, I'll be right back!" After saying that, I used force to fling Jin Douzi to the ground. Jin Douzi looked at me with an innocent face, and I felt a bit guilty. But then he suddenly stood up and grabbed my arm again, saying, "Little Luo brother, come back with me, you can't enter the village today!"

  To this day, I still think that if I had listened to Jin Douzi's words at the time, perhaps everything that happened afterwards would not have occurred, and maybe I would still be a mailman today. But in fact, I pushed him to the ground again, and stormed forward without looking back.
