I turned around and took the wooden sign, and looked at the two men a few more times, but they never dared to look up again and treated me with respect.

At the same time, I felt more and more that I had met that old man, otherwise I might not even be able to step into the door

I didn't continue to stay at the entrance of the trail, put away the wooden sign and walked forward in a low-key manner, I didn't want to be targeted by people with evil intentions because of my ignorance, which was also what Xu Youcai told me.

It wasn't until I walked to the back wall that there was no one around me that I took out the wooden sign again.

The newly engraved three characters of the Nine Cellar Letter on the back of the wooden plaque are obviously useless, and this may just be the reason why the old man wants to help me and make it up.

Listening to the man guarding the entrance saying that this was a waist card, I looked carefully at the "nine" character on the front of the wooden card, and wondered if this represented the identity of the old man in Jiujiao?

Ahead is the clue street I'm looking for, so I put away the wooden sign for the time being and head down the street.

Unlike the gambling street and Yellow Street I just passed, Clue Street looks deserted, probably because someone is screening and entering at the intersection, resulting in one or two people shaking as far as the eye can see.

For a while, I didn't know where to start, so I had to wander around without any purpose.

The rooms on both sides of the street looked like they were their own homes, and they were not bought and sold as shops, and all the way down, there were only seven or eight open doors, and the rest of the houses were all closed.

After a little comparison, I chose the front door and tried to walk in.

The door opened, but the room was dimly lit and quiet, and no one was talking.

There is a second door in front of it, and under the door is a half-meter-high wooden threshold, on which is written in white paint: Stay for the time being.

I didn't dare to break in at will, but after knocking on the door, I whispered:

"Excuse me, is the boss there?"

I tilted my head to try to see the structure of the house, but most of the place was not light, and the windows inside were even covered with black cloths, as if deliberately creating this dark atmosphere.

At this time, I heard a high-pitched male duck in the back room say:

"What is the matter with this little friend?"

I hurriedly said:

"Hello, I want to find clues, can you provide them here?"

The male duck man instantly softened his tone, and said with a smile:

"Lord, please come into the house and talk. ”

I was happy that I had finally found the right place, but because of the dim light in the house, I still walked slowly and cautiously.

After stepping through the wooden threshold of the second gate, my whole body was instantly plunged into darkness.

It was dim from front to back, left and right, and I couldn't even see the ground clearly when I looked down, and the only view in the whole room was a very weak kerosene lamp in the innermost part.

The kerosene lamp seemed to be placed on a table, and the flame was faint, only the size of a fingernail, and it felt like it was going to be extinguished at any moment.

At this time, from behind the flames, a human face slowly moved over.

I immediately got goosebumps all over my body, and instinctively pressed my hand on the ring knife at my waist.

This human face looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with a pointed awl face, small eyes and a hooked nose, and the face was in the shadow of the flame of the kerosene lamp, half cloudy and half bright, and it was particularly permeating.

He smiled strangely at me, and said:

"Don't be afraid, please come here. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he was the male duck man who had just spoken.

He stretched out a withered hand from behind the flames, with a jade ring on his thumb and a long nail on his little finger.

I stood there and asked with some vigilance:

"You...... Is it the boss?"

The duck man smiled slightly, but still stretched out his finger and pointed in front of him, motioning for me to talk to him.

I thought to myself, I haven't seen any ghosts in such a long time, and I have even run to the underworld, what is there to be afraid of.

So he pressed his hand on the sword and stepped forward with courage.

When I got closer, I realized that the male duck voice man is not just a face.

Where he stood, he had built a darkroom similar to a bunker in the house, and this darkroom only had two palm-wide windows, so from a distance from the dark room, it seemed like he had only one face.

When the male duck saw me approaching, he looked at me quickly with sensitive eyes, and said with a smile:

"Master Jin, is it the first time you come to Line Street?"

I don't want to say too much on this issue, it seems that I am a newbie and easy to be pitted.

So he took the initiative to divert the topic and said:

"Why don't you turn on the lights here?"

The male duck turned his eyes slyly, and then said with a smile:

"Ouch, don't blame the gold owner, those who do our business are not glorious. ”

"What we sell is clue information, but these things are extremely rare, many of them are things that others have been waiting for all their lives, but they have been bought and sold by us, and some people are even sects, because of our clues and died and perished, do you say that others can not hate us?"

"So, be secretive, be mysterious...... It's also to protect us, I hope the owner of the gold will understand. ”

I nodded suddenly, what he said was indeed right, just like the gangsters who helped the police as an informant in the movie, and after being discovered, they all died very miserably.

I asked curiously:

"You have that great ability, can you find any clue?"

The male duck squinted and smiled, and whispered:

"As long as the owner is willing to bid, we must have this confidence, and within the specified date, we will definitely help the owner get the clues you want. ”

I casually asked:

"Then what if you give money and don't find a clue?"

The male duck said directly:

"Deliver now, pay later!"

I nodded, and after a brief chat with the male duck, I felt that it seemed quite reliable, but I didn't know how much he would cost.

Just as I was thinking about it, the male duck asked in a low voice:

"Master, have you thought about it, do you want to try it?"

I pursed my lips, nodded earnestly, and said:

"Well, I want you to help find the whereabouts of the two people!"

The male duck took a brush and began to write, as he asked:

"What's their name?"

I say:

"The man's name is Li Lingchang, and the woman's name is Xiao Yu. ”

The male duck continued to ask:

"Who is the gold owner?"

I say:

"My parents. ”

The male duck paused slightly, and then continued to ask:

"Are you just looking for clues, or are you looking for them and bringing them to you?"

I asked excitedly:

"Does it make a difference?"

The bull duck crooked his mouth and smiled:

"Only provide clues, and charge 100,000 pieces. ”

"Capture people and bring them back, whether they live or die, once a million. ”

The price scared me, 100,000, 1 million, which is sky-high for me as a high school student.

I've never seen so much money when I've grown so big.

The fact that he was able to come to Line Street this time was all thanks to Xu Youcai's help, and how much money could he have as a poor Taoist priest......
