He howled and cried as he pulled his hair with both hands.

It was dark, and this restaurant with no lights on was swallowed up by the night, along with us in the hotel.

When it got dark, there was not a single pedestrian on the street except for the two small trucks we parked outside in front of the hotel.

The darkness of the night, the silence of the streets, and the boss who was squatting on the ground in the restaurant and crying bitterly.

As soon as we entered Niushan County, although we heard clues about the arts, we also encountered a sad thing.

Gently walking up to the boss, I took out a handkerchief from the pocket of my trench coat and stuffed it into the boss's head-scratching hand.

It was also because of this action that the restaurant owner lifted his face against his knee again.

Through the dim night, I saw that the boss's eyes were already red with tears.

"The deceased is gone, the living are like this, look at me, my parents are dead, I'm not alive yet, let's live well, the people underground won't worry about us anymore, don't you say this is the reason?"

After I said this to this boss, I turned around and walked to Qin Yue's side.

This comforts people, just point to the end, not too violent, not too light, see that this boss should be thirty-five or sixteen years old, let him think quietly for a while.

When I walked to Qin Yue's side, I realized that Qin Yue's eyes were all focused on me at this moment.

"Zhang Bing, I can't see it, you are quite comforting. ”

It was also when Gu Yicheng's voice sounded, I didn't know whether to praise me or ridicule me, that I saw the boss who was squatting on the ground standing up from the ground again.

"You're right, but I still want to tell you, I have dozens of lives in this store, if you are not afraid, I will cook for you, if you are not afraid, you will go to another restaurant. ”

When the boss said this to us, although his eyes were still moist, his mental face was obviously much stronger than just now.

"No, I'll eat at your house. ”

While Qin Yue sat down again, he also dropped this sentence to the boss.

By the time the boss entered the back kitchen, the remaining seven of us were back seated.

The sound of the exhaust fan sounded in the back kitchen, the sound of the stove burning in the back kitchen, and along with these two sounds, there was also the sound of chopping on the cutting board.

The speed of the boss's stir-fry was very fast, and it didn't take long for hard dishes that looked very colorful and fragrant to fill the table of eight immortals.

After the boss served us a pot of fragrant rice, he sat down alone in front of the door of the meal.

The lights were turned on, and we took advantage of the bright light, and the meal was eaten quickly.

And it was also after we finished this delicious meal that the owner of this Eight Immortals restaurant returned to our sight.

Standing in front of our Eight Immortals table, this boss was looking at each of us with a look that was hard to figure out.

Looking at us but not speaking, this posture, this look is also a little bit unwilling to let us go.

"What do you guys do?"

Just when I was about to ask the boss what he meant, the boss suddenly spoke first.

None of the eight of us took the boss's words.

And the boss also said to us again in our silence: "I saw what you have in the car, take me there, I want to avenge my baby and daughter-in-law." ”

See what's in our car?

Just when I was wondering, the boss looked at us and said again: "I know the shovel, the one exposed behind your car, I know that it is the Luoyang shovel." ”

"With you, what can you do?"

When the hotel owner said this to us, Qin Yue's voice suddenly sounded under our silence.

"I-I-I can fight with those things. ”

The boss's answer to Qin Yue's words was almost shouted in a shouting way, and after this boss shouted this sentence to us, I could clearly see the excitement and anger in his eyes.

"You don't need to fight hard, you just need to tell me, why didn't you die? ”

Hearing Weng Ping's question to this boss, a kind of antipathy for Weng Ping suddenly rose in my heart.

And after Weng Ping asked the boss about this, confusion and self-blame began to appear in the boss's eyes again.

"Don't ask him!"

I looked at Weng Ping and said, my voice mixed with some anger.

I know what Weng Ping means, this boss is the only survivor of the Gu worm murder, and with that alone, we really need to figure out why.

After all, this time we are facing this kind of Gu worm that can kill people in an instant, and Weng Ping also made it clear that he has no way to deal with this kind of Gu worm.

Weng Ping didn't ask any more, but looked at Qin Yue.

And at this moment, Uncle Cheng and I all looked at Qin Yue, after all, if we don't let this boss join our ranks, only Qin Yue will say it.

And this boss clearly sees this. When looking at Qin Yue, the boss's eyes were also full of pleading.

"I grew up in Niushan County since I was a child, and I can take you wherever you want to go. Please, take me with you. ”

The words are real, what this boss said to Qin Yue, even I felt sad when I heard it.

The child is dead, his wife is dead, if Qin Yue doesn't agree to take him again, I think after we leave, this boss is likely to go to extremes in self-blame and longing for his wife and children.

"Just take him with you. ”

I withdrew my gaze from this boss, looked at Qin Yue and said softly.

And after I said this to Qin Yue, Qin Yue also nodded lightly.

Seeing Qin Yue nodding, the worry and earnestness in the boss's eyes were immediately filled with gratitude.

This boss's name is Sun Liansheng, Chinese New Year's Eve is seventy-seven years old, he has lived in this Niushan County since birth, and he is indeed a native of here.

Sun Liansheng followed us into the first car, and the position of the co-pilot naturally belonged to Sun Liansheng.

He was the guide and naturally wanted to sit in the front, and I, with two big beauties with different personalities, sat in the back, but I didn't enjoy the treatment of sitting in the middle of the two beauties, but was left out in the window by the window.

With the sound of two engines starting, the two small trucks hit the road one after the other again.

White Flag Village!

When Qin Yue told Sun Liansheng that we were going to Baiqi Village, Sun Liansheng was slightly stunned for three seconds before saying something to us that we never thought of.

"Baiqi Village, we don't have this village in Niushan County!"

Hearing Sun Liansheng's words, Qin Yue did not panic, but asked Sun Liansheng if he knew a person named Xu Qiang.

Originally, after Qin Yue asked Sun Liansheng this sentence, we didn't report hope for Sun Liansheng.

But this Sun Liansheng told us that he knew Xu Qiang. And more than a month ago, he also met Xu Qiang.

And Sun Liansheng also revealed a very important clue to us, this Xu Qiang is not from Niushan at all, but from Huangquanling, the person on the other side of the coffin ditch.

When I first heard these two place names, I thought I had heard them wrong, but after Sun Liansheng confirmed them again, I had to sigh that the people who named these two places were talented, and Zhen Nyima was talented.

Can't you come up with a good place name? You have to come up with these two names that sound a bit infiltrating.

The two places of Huangquanling and Qitougou are not yet open to traffic, and the lack of traffic means that even the road has not been repaired.

More than a month ago, Mr. Sun said he had indeed met Mr. Xu, who was driving a heavy-duty truck and having a meal at his store.

And the reason why Sun Liansheng and Xu Qiang know each other is because this Xu Qiang often came to his store to eat on credit before he went to work in the city, and the money on credit has not been repaid until now.

Idle, unprofessional, full of nonsense, and bragging.

This is Sun Liansheng's summary of Xu Qiang, and Qin Yue did not tell Sun Liansheng that Xu Qiang was dead.
