Chen Feng didn't go home, but first asked Qiu Yanxuan to open Bai Linger's office, confirmed that Xiao Xu's ashes altar was gone, and then went to Bai Linger's residence, as well as several places she used to go to before, and went to the People's Hospital, the place where she and Bai Linger first met.

But the result is the same, and the other party still has no news.

"It seems that Bai Ling'er is really likely to go to Xiao Xu's hometown. ”

Chen Feng sat in the car and sighed helplessly.

Shen Muxue may give birth at any time, and Xiao Xu's hometown is located in a small village in the neighboring province of Jiangcheng, the two places are separated by more than 600 kilometers, and it takes about half a day to drive, and they may not be able to find each other smoothly, if something happens, they will be overwhelmed.

Chen Feng was in a dilemma.

"What to do?"

Chen Feng sat in the car impetusively, rolled down the window and smoked fiercely.

Half an hour later, cigarette butts were thrown all over the ground next to the car, Chen Feng's mouth was dry, and his head was still as messy as mush.

"Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, Bai Ling'er is a noble person after her rebirth, and she can't watch her have an accident. ”

Chen Feng muttered to himself, and then dialed Shen Muxue's phone.

Fortunately, Shen Muxue was very reasonable, Chen Feng only told the other party that he had an urgent business trip, Shen Muxue expressed his understanding, and even kept telling himself to be careful.

In order to be more secure, Chen Feng gave Guo Qiwei another phone call, informing the other party about his business trip, and explaining that he would help take care of his family more during his outing.

After arranging everything, Chen Feng didn't hesitate any longer, started the car directly, and drove quickly towards Xiaojia Village, Lianchengjing County, Xiao Xu's hometown.

Chen Feng set off at more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, non-stop along the way, in addition to going to the bathroom and refueling, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and when he arrived in Jingxian, it was close to 7 o'clock in the evening.

Due to the high speed of the whole process, no one replaced, Chen Feng was already sleepy and hungry at this time, and the location of Liancheng was further north than Jiangcheng, the temperature difference between the two was about 10 degrees, and the temperature was particularly cold at night in late autumn, and the cold wind was swishing, blowing Chen Feng constantly sneezing.

Chen Feng casually had dinner at a roadside stall, asked about the specific location of Xiaojia Village, and hurriedly drove there, and drove for more than half an hour according to the location indicated by the navigator, and finally arrived at Xiaojia Village.

Xiaojia Village is a small village on the side of a mountain located in Jingxian County, the surrounding area is relatively primitive, there is no cement road, the more you drive to the village, the more you can feel the desolate scene.

The road is lined with tall trees, and the trees are lined with endless farmland, because of the night, the dirt road has no street lights, except for the faint moonlight, everywhere is pitch black, and the leaves are rustled by the wind, which is particularly slight.

Chen Feng turned on the high beams, and he could vaguely distinguish the situation on the road, but because of the low site of the Mercedes-Benz car, the road surface was uneven, and the chassis was clattered by raised stones.

After surviving the long dirt road outside the village, Chen Feng went around into a dense large bamboo forest, which was planted on the slopes on both sides.

"What the hell is this place, can Bai Ling'er be here?"

Even though Chen Feng was bold, he couldn't help but shudder at this time.

The car continued to move slowly, and finally it took more than ten minutes for Chen Feng to pass through the bamboo forest and see the small village shining with sporadic lights in front of him.

The village is located on the side of a hill, mostly adobe houses, built along the village road on a hillside of varying heights.

Chen Feng found a vacant lot and parked the car on the side of the road.

As soon as I got out of the car, the cold wind in the mountains was even more chilly, and the gloomy atmosphere made Chen Feng's scalp tingle.

Chen Feng walked along the quiet village road, perhaps because of the lack of nightlife in the village, it was not yet 21 o'clock, but more than half of the villagers who passed by had already turned off their lights.

Finally found a villager with the lights still on, and Chen Feng knocked on the other party's door.

"Who?"

After a long knock, a hoarse voice came from inside the room.

As soon as the words fell, followed by a "creak", the wooden door opened, and a slightly older uncle came into view, dressed plainly, with white temples and a face full of folds, staring at Chen Feng in surprise.

"You... Who are you looking for?"

The other party looked at Chen Feng carefully for a while, and asked puzzledly.

"Hello, uncle, I'm from out of town to visit a friend, and I want to find someone named Xiao Xu, do you know me?"

Chen Feng asked politely with a smile.

"Xiao Xu?"

The old uncle silently recited silently, shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, the old man doesn't know any Xiao Xu, are you sure it's from Xiaojia Village?"

"Well, yes, I'm sure. ”

Chen Feng was a little disappointed, but still answered in the affirmative.

"Maybe the person you're looking for is younger, do you know what the other person's parents call them?"

The old uncle asked.

"This..."

Chen Feng was a little stunned for a while, and then he remembered that he didn't ask about it clearly.

"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll call and ask. ”

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Qiu Yanxuan, but when he looked at the screen, he was dumbfounded, and there was no signal in a single grid.

Chen Feng held his mobile phone and fiddled left and right, but there was still no signal on the screen.

"Young man, you don't have to fiddle, we have no signal in the poor countryside here. ”

The old uncle looked at Chen Feng with an anxious look on his face, and kindly reminded him.

"Uncle, do you have a phone at home?"

Chen Feng turned his head to look at the old uncle for help.

"Haha, young people really love to laugh, we don't even have a TV, let alone a phone. ”

The old uncle laughed.

Chen Feng poked his head and looked in, and sure enough, he was destitute, except for a rickety dim yellow light bulb, there was really nothing, even the stove was the most primitive firewood design.

"So what to do?"

Chen Feng paced back and forth to himself.

"Dad, who is it? Why are you standing at the door?"

At this time, a girl came out of the side of the inner hall of the hut, holding a washbasin, her hair was wet, and she seemed to have just come out of the bath.

"Oh, it's okay, just one to ask for directions. ”

The old uncle was relaxed, pointing at Chen Feng and explaining with a smile.

The girl seemed to be more interested in outsiders, so she walked towards the door with a basin in her arms.

Waiting for the girl to get closer, through the dim light, Chen Feng finally saw the girl's face clearly, in her early twenties, her wet hair hanging down on her chest, wearing an earthy red coarse cloth coat, a pair of black wide pants on her lower body, and a pair of red slippers on her feet.

"Who are you looking for?"

The girl looked at Chen Feng and asked with a frown.

"Oh, I'm here to find someone named Xiao Xu, do you know the girl?"

Chen Feng tried his luck and asked again.

"Xiao Xu, you're also looking for Xiao Xu?"

The girl suddenly replied.

"What? Anyone else has come to Xiao Xu? Who is it? Is she a very beautiful girl?"

Chen Feng was a little excited, and asked several questions one after another.

"Well, she's a very beautiful girl, but when she arrived here yesterday, it was daytime, and she was dressed very well, and she could tell at a glance that she was from the city. ”

The girl explained.

"That's... What about her?"

As soon as Chen Feng was excited, he stepped forward and grabbed the girl's shoulders tightly.

This time, the girl's face turned red after brushing it, and she struggled to get rid of Chen Feng's hand and said, "You... You let me go first. ”

"Oh, no... I'm sorry, I'm a little excited......"

Chen Feng scratched his head and apologized.

"It's fine. ”

The girl was generous, waved her hand and replied: "I was asked for directions by her when I was working in the fields during the day, and I was also looking for Xiao Xu at that time, and later I told her Aunt Geng's house, and then she left." ”

"Aunt Geng?"

When the old uncle heard the girl's words, he asked curiously, "Yanzi, who is Aunt Geng?"

"That's right, Dad, Xiao Xu is Brother Bai, Xiao Xu is his real name. ”

Swallow looked at her father with a puzzled expression, and then explained to him.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Bai, haha, if you say him, then I know. ”

The old uncle laughed.

Chen Feng is a little confused, in fact, it is good for him to know that his name is Xiao Xu, who can know that he still has a nickname.

"Excuse me, girl, can you tell me where that pretty girl went, or did you see her go later?"

Chen Feng hurriedly changed the topic and confirmed Bai Ling'er's whereabouts.

"I'm sorry, big brother, I have been working hard since I pointed out the direction to the girl, and I went to the county seat again in the afternoon, as for where the girl went in the end, whether she left or not, I really don't know. ”

The swallow shook its head, not like it was lying.

"Okay, can you tell me where Xiao Xu's family is?"

Chen Feng then asked.

"It's no problem, you wait for me, I'll take you. ”

Yanzi was enthusiastic, said to Chen Feng, and turned his head into the back room.
