Everyone in the audience was silent. When we heard this kind of plot device, we had to think about its authenticity.
When it ca to storytelling, there was a situation where you probably knew what the context of the story was, but you didnt know what the main plot was. As a result, you made up the plot yourself. But Xiao Hua's expression didnt seem like he was joking.
My mind was filled with images of when Black Glasses had sent to Crocodile Island (1). I felt that it wasnt that he couldn't woo the sorceress, it was just that he was soone who would take people in as godsons at most. Still, such an exaggerated statent really surprised us.
I watched Su Wan co in through the door and knew who had spread this kind of thing. Su Wan looked into my eyes and seed to sense my ill-intentions, for he imdiately stepped back warily.
This was ridiculous. It didnt change the actual situation. I didnt believe the sorceress would accept Black Glasses and let things be sorted out so easily. Black Glasses was probably teasing the amateurs.
If the person with him wasnt an insider, then he would often joke around and make light of dangerous situations. He told that this was because having a nervous and jumpy companion around you was more dangerous than facing a bear.
The three brats slled of cigarette smoke, and I knew there was no way we could get them to stop. When I was smoking back in the day, did I listen to anyones advice? I knew the answer very well, so I didnt bother saying anything to them. When they started gasping for breath any ti they went up stairs in the future, they would realize how terrible it was. Human beings always repeated the sa fate, which was why so people could write a novel for more than ten years.
Xiao Hua continued the story. Su Wan tried to leave when he heard that we were talking about Black Glasses, but Fatty caught him. "Im not getting involved in this matter, Su Wan said. He won't beat you guys, but hell definitely beat . I'd better help welco the guests.
"Youre going to rat us out, you coward. Do you think I dont know what youre about to do? Fatty said to him. Stay. I have to listen to this story. Su Wan couldnt leave, so Xiao Hua continued.
Black Glasses told the little mute girlwhose na was Chuchuabout his plan. That was when the siblings learned that only the sorceresss family could pass through the minefield, enter the building outside the village, and get the equipnt back. Chuchu realized she had to get serious. In this matter, what she needed to do was to be the translator. Theoretically, sorceresses were more difficult to bribe with money, so they could only be outwitted.
In any case, there werent any skills that would make others accept you as their son, so the only possibility was courtship. Of course, it was ridiculous, but compared to being soones son, courtship was at least logical. But this logic was still completely useless.
Sure enough, Xiao Hua changed his style of storytelling and looked at Su Wan, "Unfortunately, the sorceress didn't like him, so this person beca angry and kidnapped her."
Fatty and I looked at each other, feeling a little relieved. Sure enough, this was Black Glasses.
Black Glasses tied the sorceress up and put her on the edge of the minefield before looking at Chuchu and saying, "You go with ."
Chuchu was a little surprised and asked in standard sign language: "According to the TV dramas, shouldn't people like you tell to go back and wait for news at this ti?"
Black Glasses looked at her: "Would you really go back and wait for news?"
Chuchu sneered: "No." (This was all done in sign language)
Black Glasses looked at the minefield in front of him and saw that it was getting late. "The location of this minefield isnt quite right, he said. The place were going to is in the center of the minefield. This minefield almost seems like its protecting that place. I dont know whether its to prevent people from getting in or to keep sothing from getting out.
"Did the army set it up?"
"Yeah. It mustve been done during the Myanmar-Vietnam War. Black Glasses looked at the sorceress and asked Chuchu to translate for him: "I'll walk there with you on my back. You tell how to get through, or we'll both go to heaven together."
The sorceress looked at Black Glasses in horror, pointed to the sun that had almost completely set, and then pointed to his sunglasses. Chuchu translated: "She said that youre blind and she can't speak. How is she supposed to tell you how to get there?"
Black Glasses asked Chuchu to gesture back: "I can see. I can see everything."
He looked at the strange shadow behind Chuchu, and the shadow looked back at himhe didn't expect there to be such a good place near Mute Village where he could confront this immortal thing. Since this place was surrounded by mines and there were only three people in the whole area, it couldnt escape.
The three of them cautiously walked into the minefield.
At this ti, Liu Sang suddenly turned his head, looked at the door, and made a wait-and-see expression at us. We all settled down and saw Black Glasses, Wang ng, and Poker-Face walk in.
