Chapter 69: It's Time
"How's it going, did you ask anything useful?"
The dragon girl and the lone dragon and the ghost were sitting on the boulder near the van, and when they saw Hou Yan coming from Master Hu, even if the dragon girl didn't like him anymore, the task was still the most important.
Hou Yan nodded slightly, and sat opposite the three of them, his posture was very casual, his eyes scanned around, he looked arrogant, maybe Ai Qing's bad habits were learned from Hou Yan.
"The news I got was ......"
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowed into a needle-like slit, and the corners of his mouth provoked a mysterious smile, deliberately hanging the appetite of the three people in front of him, which was enough to prove how boring he was.
"What is it?"
The three of them were in high spirits, the mission information was too important to them now, and the fatigue just now in the car was gone, and they were successfully attracted by the atmosphere created by Hou Yan.
"This place probably doesn't have what we're looking for, and even if it does, it's hard for us to find it. ”
"Are you kidding me?" The dragon girl went away in an instant, got up and was about to go up to beat Hou Yan, but fortunately she was stopped by the lone dragon, and the ghost on the side still had a stinky face, as if someone owed him money.
Hou Yan had very little time in contact with the dragon girl, he didn't expect the sexy woman in front of him to have such a big temper, if he knew that the dragon girl would point a gun at people's heads at every turn, it is estimated that he would not have made this joke just now.
"Don't be angry, it's just a joke, but don't you think everything is weird?" Hou Yan sat upright, the smile on his face retracted.
Seeing Hou Yan's serious appearance, the dragon girl glared at him viciously, her lips opened slightly, revealing five snow-white teeth, one of which was still a little tiger tooth, and there was some cuteness in the fierceness, and pointed to Hou Yan's nose with her right hand, signaling him to continue.
"Brother Hu, that is, our driver, has lived here for more than 40 years, and she is only engaged in service and hospitality, but she doesn't know anything about our goal this time, and she has never heard of it, let alone the Taoist temple. ”
"You mean the news the company gave us is wrong?" asked Lone Dragon.
"Not necessarily, just a few questions. ”
Hou Yan stared at the three people in front of him, the lone dragon and the dragon girl were all thinking about his words, the ghost closed his eyes, and no one replied to Hou Yan's words.
Master Hu came from the inside of the rest stop, the time was almost up, he adjusted his state and tried to go to the county hotel to rest early.
"Anyway, this is our only clue, we can only follow him and have a meeting at night!"
As the dragon girl said, they have no other choice, even if Hou Yan's analysis is reasonable, it can only be used as a reference.
The car is moving at full speed, driving on the highway, and there are constantly vehicles on both sides overtaking, making a sound that cuts through the air, which highlights their slow speed, and it is already a miracle that the broken car is not punished by the traffic police.
It may be that Hou Yan's words just now made Master Hu unhappy, and in the next two hours, the atmosphere in the car was very quiet, except for the sound of the engine, only the occasional horn sounded, and the sound was as harsh as a duck's call.
Smoothly drove to the toll station in Yuanling County, Master Hu skillfully handed out his pass card and some cash from the window, and the railing in front of the car automatically rose, which means that they finally arrived at the transit station of the trip.
Master Hu has to walk this route hundreds of times a year, not to mention that you can find the way with your eyes closed, but it is almost the same.
The streets in the county extend in all directions, the lights are brilliant, the dazzling neon lights illuminate the whole city, the high-rise buildings are lined up, the cars on the streets come and go, the people live and work in peace and contentment, although it is only a county-level city, but his degree of development is far more than some city-level cities.
Yuanling County has jurisdiction over 23 townships, hydropower, minerals, forest and agricultural products are the three pillar industries of Yunling County, and the hydropower reserves in the territory are the first in the province, and its annual output of gold is also in the first place.
The second destination of Hou Yan and others' trip, Wuqiangxi Town, belongs to Yuanling County.
Master Hu's broken car shuttles through the streets, bypassing the most prosperous areas in the county, the more remote the car becomes, and there are fewer and fewer street lights on the streets, and there will be a street lamp standing on the side of the street only after a hundred meters, and it may not be bright.
The road is narrow when it is dark, the street lights are not good, there is not a single pedestrian on the street, the houses on both sides are dark with windows, the engine of the van still makes a strange sound, the atmosphere becomes a little weird, Master Hu calmly drives the car.
The other four people in the car are not good people, three thieves, only one Hou Yan is a thief, and he also has high-tech equipment to defend himself, so such an environment has little impact on the mentality of several people, at most they are a little curious about the route.
"Here we are! We're staying here tonight. Master Hu parked the car at the mouth of an alley.
"That's what you're talking about, the most exclusive inn in the county?" the dragon girl angrily pointed to the large plaque on her head.
"Silent Hotel" four big characters hung in the middle of the plaque, this is a three-dimensional luminous modern plaque, but after years of wind and rain, due to the problem of the line, only one and a half words of the dark red four words are bright red.
The right half of the word "Mo" is short-circuited, and the other word left is the last word "shop".
"Black shop?"
The corners of Hou Yan's mouth twitched, can this be more obvious?
What can make the four people feel relieved is that the environment in the hotel is still acceptable, with a spacious courtyard, a small building on the second floor, bright lights in the corridor, and a grid-like carpet on the ground, exuding a faint fragrance, refreshing.
"Of course, this is the most exclusive hotel in the county, because this one hotel is the only hotel in the county, and the others are hotels. Master Hu said as a matter of course, not thinking how annoying his words were.
This means that the environment is not bad, otherwise with the temper of the dragon girl, she would have been sitting in a dilapidated van for a day, saving up a belly of fire, and the slightest spark might explode.
"Honey, are you back, please four of you!" a middle-aged woman in pajamas walked out of the inn, holding a bunch of metal keys, each with the corresponding house number taped on it.
The proprietress gave the four keys in her hand to Hou Yan and them, and then turned around and snuggled into her husband's arms, that is, in the arms of their driver, Master Hu.
"No wonder, the relationship is that you have opened a store in your own home! ”
Among the few people, only Hou Yan and Master Hu have a good relationship, so they speak more naturally, without too much restraint, and joked slightly.
"Hehe, a small business, the house is too big, and it is empty, so I opened a hotel, and the accommodation fee is half the price for you. ”
Master Hu's words have all been said to this point, and there may not be a place to stay within a radius of a few miles, so a few people have to pay attention to it for one night here.
The lone dragon and the ghost were divided into two rooms on the first floor, the dragon girl and Hou Yan were on the second floor, living at the opposite door, it was not assigned in this way at first, it was the dragon girl herself who asked to live opposite Hou Yan, claiming to supervise Hou Yan's every move, what she thought, no one knows.
According to the dragon girl's previous arrangement, the four of them gathered in Hou Yan's room at ten o'clock in the evening, as for why it was in Hou Yan's room, it was also arranged by the dragon girl using her power, and what she said was that the minority obeyed the majority, and the lone dragon and the ghost naturally did not dare to stand on Hou Yan's side.
The inn was originally converted from his family's residence, so each room is large and has all the facilities inside, but the biggest drawback is that some of the furniture is too old, such as the table for four people.
The table is an antique piece of furniture handed down from the last century, the bright red paint has been worn away, the table top is full of visible potholes, and the square table has three fewer sharp corners, giving people the feeling that it will fall apart at any time.
"Do you think this Master Hu is credible?" Hou Yan was the first to ask.
Master Hu, as their driver and tour guide, can be said to be an indispensable key person in their mission, and if something goes wrong with him, other things don't have to be thought about.
Lone Long replied: "After all, he is the person found by the company, so he should be trustworthy." ”
The ghost, who is not good at words, also spoke: "I choose to believe." ”
"I believe it too. After the dragon girl finished speaking, she also handed Hou Yan a provocative look, which means that the three of us believe it, and there is only one of your brother left, depending on how you choose.
"My day!"
Hou Yan didn't understand, how did Ai Qing provoke this woman, how could she fight with him everywhere, and whether she could still play well.
"Well, we all believe him, so how to find out about the exchange day?"
The four of them gathered around for about an hour to discuss and came up with a final plan of action, which is not actually a plan, but just a general process, and the specific things still have to be taken step by step.
Master Hu is a tour guide to lead the four people into Kuafu Mountain, which means that he will also lead a few people to play around the mountain, explain in detail the history and existence value of each scenic spot, and the four of them can take this opportunity to look for clues in the mountain.
As for the search method, it is purely by luck, the blind cat touches the dead mouse, and it is impossible to say if it is really found.
"It's not too early, you two should go back first. The dragon maiden said to the lone dragon and the ghost.
The two of them cast a regretful look at Hou Yan, the dragon girl was so anxious to drive them away, there must be another purpose, according to the dragon girl's attitude towards Hou Yan, it is estimated that Hou Yan will feel better later.
The dragon girl got up and sent the two to the door, gently locked the door from the inside, and a crisp sound of "click" came into the ears of the lone dragon, and secretly said in her heart: "Poor, pitiful!" He was very optimistic about Hou Yan, and he couldn't do anything at this time.
"Well, why don't you go? I'm going to sleep! What are you going to do?"
Hou Yan's screams sounded in the room, and the sound stole through the floor to the first floor, and the lone dragon and the ghost who had just walked to the door of their room glanced at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
In the room on the second floor, Hou Yan was hung from the ceiling by the dragon girl with hemp rope, and his legs kept kicking in the direction of the dragon girl.
"You're not honest, are you? Against me, aren't you?"
Every question was accompanied by a blow from the broom in the dragon girl's hand, which made Hou Yan scold, incoherent, and said anything unpleasant.
"You old woman, dead pervert, violent maniac, stinky bastard!"
"Keep scolding!"
The dragon girl threw the mop in her hand on the ground, turned around and returned to her room, Hou Yan thought she was tired, and when the dragon girl came back again, he was in despair.
"Eldest sister, I was wrong, we have something to say. ”
"It's late!"
"Stop! I have one last word. ”
"Say!"
"What time is it?"
"Hmm, it's twelve o'clock. ”
"It's time, then you're done!"
“???”
