……

Before he walked to the station, Zhao Ming found those people wearing casual clothes and sunglasses hanging around there, it seemed that these people guessed that if Zhao Ming wanted to return to Dongcheng, he must buy a ticket, so he stayed in the station early in the morning.

It's just that in the past two days, no trace of Zhao Ming has been found, which made them relax their vigilance a little, Zhao Ming looked at the college student couple in front of him and said, "Why don't you leave first, I suddenly thought that there are still some things that have not been dealt with." ”

"Alright then, goodbye!" After the two of them said goodbye, they went to the station to buy tickets. Zhao Ming was walking alone on the long street of Mincheng Ancient Town, he was still wearing a mask and glasses, Zhao Ming decided to find a hotel first, and eat something to rest by the way.

He decided to make a phone call to Sun Jing and tell Sun Jing the news that he had bought antiques, and believed that Sun Jing would be very happy if he knew about it.

While Zhao Ming was imagining, a smile instantly appeared on his face. Walking on the long street of Mincheng Ancient Town, Zhao Ming didn't have any appetite at all, maybe it was because he had eaten some light mountain game in the aboriginal homes of the bamboo forest in the past few days, and his stomach seemed to be a little resistant to the food outside at this moment.

Unconsciously, Zhao Ming walked to the outside of the town hotel again, and in desperation, Zhao Ming walked in, and when the proprietress saw Zhao Ming, she smiled and said, "Stay in the hotel, right?

Zhao Ming nodded, and then he was puzzled by the enthusiasm of the hotel proprietress, and then the innkeeper looked at Zhao Ming and said lightly: "Don't hide it, you must think that I am a very strange person, and I am very enthusiastic about you, hey, if my child is alive, maybe he will be as old as you, and you and him look a little imaginative." ”

Hearing the hostess of the hotel say this, Zhao Ming's heart couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that the proprietress of the hotel was very kind to Zhao Ming, that was because Zhao Ming looked like her son. It turned out that he had always misunderstood the meaning of the proprietress before, and even felt disgusted by this matter, thinking of this, Zhao Ming's heart suddenly felt a little self-blamed.

It seems that the innkeeper in front of her should also be a person with a story, no matter what, she is only in her forties and is so alone, for Zhao Ming, there is more sympathy in her heart.

"You must have seen the paintings on the aisle, those paintings were painted by my son before, two years ago, he didn't listen to me, he had to go to the bamboo forest to paint, he was bitten by a snake, and by the time he found out, he was already dead. The hostess of the hotel said with a sad face.

This made Zhao Ming suddenly realize that he and the college student couple went to the depths of the bamboo forest before, and the female student was accidentally bitten by a snake, fortunately there was a bandage, and there was also Zhao Ming and her boyfriend who were traveling with him, and then he was lucky to meet the householder, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Aren't you the aborigines here?" Zhao Ming asked softly, trying to change the topic and ask the hostess of the hotel not to be so sad, after all, people can't be resurrected after death, and the living must always live well.

"No, we came here from the provincial capital to do business, and it has been almost five years since we arrived in this ancient town! If we hadn't come to this ancient town, many things should not have happened......" The proprietress of the hotel said helplessly, her eyes were full of sadness, obviously two years had passed, but when she mentioned it, she was still full of sadness.

The hostess of the hotel seemed to think of something, and she suddenly whispered: "Young man, have you provoked someone, a few days ago, five or six men wearing sunglasses came to my hotel, holding your photo on their mobile phones, saying that they were looking for you......"

As soon as Zhao Ming heard this, he instantly became nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "Are those people still in the hotel now?"

"Don't worry, I saw that the men were talking in a very angry manner, and their faces were full of anger, and they didn't look like good people, so I told them that I had never seen such a person, and they stayed here for a day, and then left, and never came again. The proprietress of the hotel looked at Zhao Ming and said lightly.

"Then I'll go to the upstairs room first, and if anyone comes to ask about it, just say they've never seen me! Thank you so much!" Zhao Ming said with a grateful face.

"Okay, don't worry. After the hostess of the hotel handed the room card to Zhao Ming, she didn't say anything more, and Zhao Ming walked upstairs to room 206 again.

When he saw these paintings again on the aisle, Zhao Ming's feeling in his heart was different from the feeling he felt when he saw these paintings for the first time, this time Zhao Ming admired these paintings with awe, after all, the owner of these paintings is no longer there, and these paintings can also allow more people to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancient town from the paintings.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Ming decided to go to the bathroom to wash his face first, then lie on the bed to rest for a while, and when he came out of the bathroom, Zhao Ming felt that his stomach was hungrier than before, and his stomach was also aching faintly at the moment.

Fortunately, in addition to the kettle for boiling hot water in each room, there are also some drinks, instant noodles and snacks, Zhao Ming instantly burned a pot of happiness as if he saw a savior, and decided to make a bucket of instant noodles to eat.

Although Zhao Ming also knows that eating instant noodles is not nutritious, but eating it once in a while is also a different flavor, not to mention that he is hungry and panicked at this time, and he can't care so much, as for nutrition, eating instant noodles is not enough, saying that it is not nutritious, that is for people who have eaten instant noodles for a long time.

Because he was so hungry, waiting for the water in the kettle to boil was particularly long for Zhao Ming at this moment, at this moment Zhao Ming had already opened a pack of small snacks and ate it there, and after Zhao Ming ate a pack of gluttonous monkey bean curd, the water in the kettle finally boiled.

Zhao Ming opened the bucket of instant noodles, then put in the powder packet and sauce packet, then quickly added boiling water, closed the lid, and waited patiently.

A few minutes later, Zhao Ming lay on the table and began to eat the bucket of steaming instant noodles, and the instant noodles in front of him at this moment were as delicious as a delicacy for Zhao Ming.

After eating instant noodles, Zhao Ming suddenly thought that he should call Sun Jing, so that Boss Sun and Master Wang would know their situation in Mincheng Ancient Town these days, so that they would not worry about him.

Soon, Zhao Ming dialed Sun Jing's phone, and Sun Jing answered Zhao Ming's call in less than ten seconds, which made Zhao Ming sigh that Sun Jing's time to answer the phone this time can be described as fast, it seems that Sun Jing must be very worried about him these days, which makes Zhao Ming a little happy.

Especially in the two days when he went to the house of the aboriginal residents of the bamboo forest, Zhao Ming's mobile phone can be said to be a tool to check the time, because there is no signal at all in the depths of the bamboo forest, even if someone outside calls Zhao Ming, it is impossible to get through.

As soon as he put the mobile phone in his ear, Sun Jing's voice passed from the other end of the phone: "Zhao Ming, where have you been in the past two days, I didn't answer your call, my father and Master Wang thought you were missing, even Boss Zhao of the Golden Dragon Hotel came to Babao Zhai last night, saying that he couldn't contact you......"

Sun Jing complained on the phone, but this sounded extraordinarily sweet to Zhao Ming, it seemed that Sun Jing had always been worried about him, but Boss Zhao went to Babaozhai last night, so he must have talked to Boss Sun about him, and now Zhao Ming wants to return to Dongcheng, he must go to the station to buy a ticket, and the station is now guarded by Shen Tianming's people, and it is not easy to leave.

"I'm fine, let your father and Master Wang not worry about you, did Boss Zhao say anything?" Zhao Ming asked with some curiosity, obviously deep down in Zhao Ming's heart, he still wanted to know what Boss Zhao of the Golden Dragon Hotel had said to everyone when he found Boss Sun in Babaozhai.

"Boss Zhao said that he has sent someone next to him, and I will forward that person's phone number to you through WeChat in a while, and you should contact that person quickly. Sun Jing said worriedly on the phone.

Although Sun Jing didn't know Zhao Ming's situation in Mincheng Ancient Town now, judging from Boss Zhao's inference in Bayuzhai yesterday, he also felt that Zhao Ming could now be said to be in deep danger, because the people sent by Shen Tianming this time were all outlaws, and the only way for them to get the rest of the money from Shen Tianming's hands was to help Shen Tianming get rid of Zhao Ming in Mincheng Ancient Town.

"Have you missed me these days, this time I bought a treasure in the hands of the aborigines of the ancient town, and you will know when you go back, and you will definitely give you and Master Wang an unexpected surprise. Zhao Ming said happily on the phone.

"When is it!Are you still in the mood to say this!Let's go back to Dongcheng first!" After Sun Jing finished speaking, he hung up the phone, which instantly made Zhao Ming feel like a burning heart, which was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Hung up the phone, Sun Jing thought to herself in her heart: I don't want gifts, I don't want any surprises, as long as you can come back safely, although she didn't say these words to Zhao Ming on the phone, but she hoped that Zhao Ming could feel her mood, more concerned about Zhao Ming's safety than those surprises.

Soon, Zhao Ming received Sun Jing's WeChat, opened WeChat, Zhao Ming glanced at the mobile phone number, and then kept it firmly in mind, took out his mobile phone, Zhao Ming quickly pressed a string of numbers, and soon dialed.

There was a man's voice on the other end of the phone, obviously he had been waiting for Zhao Ming's call for a long time, because he had been calling Zhao Ming for the past two days, but he couldn't get through, and now Zhao Ming actually took the initiative to call him, and the man naturally quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is it Zhao Ming? I'm a person sent by Boss Zhao, we'll meet in the evening, I'll tell you the location......" The other party hung up the phone after speaking, which made Zhao Ming particularly suspicious. Could it be that he made the wrong call, Zhao Ming clicked on the WeChat sent to him by Sun Jing again, and after confirming it again, Zhao Ming was relieved, and then, Zhao Ming waited for the evening meeting.
