Book 2: Chapter 10


    Tony, an affectionate man, watched shyly as ck sses unpacked his luggage. He didnt know what to say. He had originally thought that it would be absolutely impossible to meet "good-looking" Chinese men here in the tropical jungles of Myanmar. He was ready to watch the heavy rains, diaojiaos, and field work for half a year.


    He just didn''t expect to suddenly meet such a man before the rainy season. Was this a blessing from the heavens?


    Tony stayed huddled in the corner as he watched ck sses make the bed opposite him and then take off his jacket, exposing his biceps. ck sses looked at him, smiled, and then walked out. Tony immediately pressed up against the door, peeked at him carefully, and watched him walk towards the bathroom. The rainy season in Tony''s heart was over and spring wasing. But he was still a little concerned about why there had been such loud firecrackers in the diaojiao building next door just now. Regardless, Tony decided that his spring was here.


    ck sses went to the bathroom. There were awnings behind some of the diaojiaos in the vige, and there were outdoor bathrooms beside these awnings. The water was pumped-up well water that was still rtively clean. The humid rainy season and high temperatures made him sweat, so he took off his sses, closed his eyes, and started to bathe.


    It was still thundering in the sky, but at this time, he suddenly seemed to hear someone talking in his ear.


    The way of speaking was very simr to the frequency of thunder, but it seemed to be a strange whisper. People in this industry knew ancient pronunciations to some extent, and this strange sound was like someone speaking an ancientnguage in his ear. ck sses turned to listen carefully, but the strange sound disappeared.


    He reached for his sunsses, only to find that they were gone. He couldn''t see anything when he opened his eyes, but he still struggled to look anyways.


    He heard footsteps outside and knew that it was the woman. It looked like she was the one who had taken his sunsses just now. ck sses threw out his arm like he was performing a magic trick and a new pair of sunsses appeared out of nowhere.


    He put them on and got dressed. When he walked out of the shower, he saw the woman sitting off to the side, holding a washbasin with a very embarrassed expression on her face. Upon seeing hime out, she signed at him: "Are you a disabled person, too?"


    ck sses ignored her and looked at the strange thing behind her. Just now, when the woman stole his sunsses to y a trick on him, the "immortal thing" was talking to him. Unfortunately, he didnt know what it was saying.


    This immortal thing must have jumped from him andtched onto the girl. ck sses left the shadow of the awning and began to think as he walked. <em>I didn''t solve this problem back then. This immortal thing seems to be able to transfer among the people who are involved in that incident. It didnt transfer to strangers, only to thest person who was at the scene at that time.</em>


    Based on its method for solving the problemst time, he had to find a way to prevent it from escaping again.


    As he was walking around the vige, he saw one of the vigers who had taken the equipment before. The man was holding a gun and watching ck sses warily. ck sses walked towards him, but the other party raised his gun and pointed it at ck sses head. A wad of money in ck sses'' pocket suddenly fell to the ground. ck sses looked at the other party, but they didn''t rx their guard. He let out a cry and then another wad of money fell out of his pocket. The other party paused, as if suddenly understanding something. ck sses cried out two more times and three or four more wads of money fell out.


    Ten minutester, he was at the viger''s house and the mans wife began to serve him food and drink. ck sses didnt understand the other party''s signnguage, and was wondering what to do. Although the people here could speak some Chinese since they were close to the border, he couldn''t understand the other partys reply at all. At this time, he saw the wife bring over some paper, indicating that she could write some Chinese.


    ck sses told them that he wanted to get the equipment back. The taboo things could be deleted, but he needed to get the other things back. The price was negotiable.


    The other party showed an embarrassed look.


    The vigers wife drew a picture on the paper, which turned out to be a map of the whole vige. ck sses immediately recognized it. But the woman drew a strange building far away from the vige and told ck sses that all of the equipment had been transported to that ce. Once it was there, only the vige sorceress could get it back.


    ck sses knew he could steal it himself since the sorceress wasnt very familiar with video cameras.


    ck sses gestured. There was a minefield in that part of the vige that was thergest minefield in the area. There were more than a dozen mountains, and mines were everywhere. The building was in a mountain depression deep in the minefield.


    Some vigers could enter and leave the minefield without any problems. Most of them were hunters who had safe routes through the minefield, but they were the only ones who knew the route markers, which became a kind of protection. Now, only the sorceress and her family knew the route clearly. The sorceress was an olddy in her seventies. She had been the one who was cutting the corpses scalps at the funeral. She only had two apprentices, and her husband and children were dead.


    ck sses thought for a long time and eventually asked if there was any way for the sorceress to take him in. The viger told him that he had to be a part of the sorceresss family.


    When ck sses returned to the siblings diaojiao, the two came up and asked him, How did it go?


    The mute girl''s attitude was obviously much better, probably sympathizing with him now that she knew that his eyes were bad.


    ck sses said to them, "I need your help to get the cameras and tapes back."


    "How can we help? How can we help?" The big Nanjing guy asked eagerly.


    "I want to pursue a sorceress, ck sses said. I''m in love with her."
