As the dust kicked up by the vehicle settled, a person stepped out of the car and whispered something to Professor Sun before returning inside.
Soon, seven off-road vehicles roared back to life, turned around, and left the area.
"Damn, what's going on?" I thought, feeling a bit perplexed before the Fat Ma could even step forward to question it.
Suddenly, two more off-road vehicles came racing from that direction and stopped in front of us. Professor Sun waved at us, urging us to get in quickly.
Once inside the vehicle, I felt a bit dazed; everything that had just happened left me scratching my head in confusion.
After everyone was settled in, the off-road vehicle followed the tracks of the previous seven cars.
The four of us—me, the Fat Ma, Old Sun—shared one vehicle while Zhang Tong and Professor Sun took another. We kicked up dust as we sped away, driving at full speed for about an hour or so before finally catching up with the other seven vehicles. After another hour of driving, we arrived at the foot of a mountain. The elevation wasn't very high, but there was still a bit of snow at the top.
At this point, we all got out of the cars.
As soon as the Fat Ma stepped out, he sprang to life, rushing to the front of the crowd and shouting, "Chen Yutou! Is Fish Head Elder here? Where's Fish Head Elder?"
"Who’s calling me?" came a voice that matched the Fat Ma's volume.
Upon hearing the response, the Fat Ma dashed forward. "Fish Head Elder! It's me looking for you."
At that moment, an old man around seventy years old burst out from the crowd. He had white facial hair and was dressed in traditional Tang clothing.
" Fat Ma! Did you call for me?" he said with his hands on his hips.
"I’m looking for you. You are Fish Head Elder?"
"That's me. What do you want?"
Fat Ma immediately burst into laughter, expressing his heartfelt emotions. "I've been listening to your stories since I was a child."
"Stop buttering me up."
At that moment, I noticed that Fat Ma was in a heated discussion, and thinking he had gotten into trouble, I hurried over. As I approached the chubby man, I saw him grinning widely.
"Old Sun, you're just in time! This is Fish Head Elder."
"Fish Head Elder, this is my brother, who has also grown up listening to your stories."
Fish Head Elder stroked his beard and smiled at me.
"Not bad, this young fellow is quite impressive." He chuckled, and Fat Ma joined in the laughter.
Seeing these two laugh made me feel quite bewildered, but with no other choice, I forced a smile along with them.
Is this really Chen Yutou? It completely shattered my expectations.
The three of them continued to chat casually for a while until Professor Sun arrived.
"Little Sun, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you forever."
Professor Sun looked a bit embarrassed. "It's my fault, Fish Elder. Blame me."
No way, it's actually Little Sun! And Professor Sun has to call him Elder. Professor Sun looks to be around sixty years old; by seniority and age, Fish Head Elder must be at least eighty.
Chen Yutou patted Professor Sun on the shoulder cheerfully.
"Little Sun, your two disciples are quite good!"
Professor Sun smiled awkwardly and then whispered a few words in Chen Yutou's ear.
Chen Yutou's expression began to change.
"Is this true?"
Professor Sun nodded.
After saying that, Chen Yutou shifted his gaze to me, staring intently. I felt quite embarrassed, so I asked, "Fish Head Elder, what are you looking at me for?"
"Show me the Bronze Fish."
I looked at Chen Yutou in front of me, feeling a bit hesitant.
"What are you afraid of? I'm not going to take it from you."
"Old Sun, just let Fish Head Elder have a look, it's fine." Since the fat guy had already spoken up, I had no more hesitation. I rummaged through my backpack and took out the Bronze Fish, handing it to Chen Yutou.
Chen Yutou was not polite at all; he took it and began examining it closely. "Little Sun, bring over the magnifying glass."
Professor Sun quickly freed one hand and retrieved the magnifying glass, handing it to Chen Yutou.
Chen Yutou examined the Bronze Fish with the magnifying glass.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Chen Yutou, what are you doing? Come over here and let's discuss something."
