Ai Qing appeared at four o'clock on time, and when he opened his eyes, he saw green waters and green mountains, flocks of ducks swimming in the water, bringing out bursts of ripples, rippling in the light of the setting sun.

He sat on the fence at the water's edge, facing the water, and next to him stood a woman with a beautiful figure.

"Why did you say you became a thief, monkey?" asked the dragon maiden.

Ai Qing frowned, what he hated most now was to see the dragon girl for the first time after waking up, and said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

Hou Yan is worthy of being Hou Yan, in such a short period of time, he and the dragon girl have alleviated the unpleasant things that happened before, the two can't be said to be friends who talk about everything, but they don't care about each other's past suspicions, and they talked about their respective lives.

The dragon girl told Hou Yan about the predicament and pressure she is facing now, which were all imposed on her by her father, the dragon lord and the hostile male and female thieves, plus the dragon girl herself is a competitive character, so she is eager to enhance the strength of the dragon faction and drag Hou Yan, who is a prefecture-level thief, into troubled waters.

The two of them, who were still chatting hotly, blamed Hou Yan for not noticing the change in time, and as a result, they were drenched into soup chicken by Ai Qing's basin of ice water.

"What's the matter with you, why are you so cold all of a sudden?"

Ai Qing didn't understand the situation, but the dragon girl's attitude towards him at this time was indeed very different from before, but he still treated the dragon girl coldly.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first. An old-fashioned reason ended today's conversation between the two.

The dragon girl lifted the wind-blown hair in front of her, turned to look at Ai Qing's back, she had a strong interest in this man with some quirks and excellent skills, this time she agreed to Hou Yan's invitation to better understand her subordinates, maybe there will be some magical discoveries.

She majored in psychology before becoming a thief, and she was a top student majoring in psychology, but she joined the Tiandao company in order to inherit her father's position, and through the heart-to-heart conversation with Hou Yan just now, Long Nu felt that she had basically mastered Hou Yan's personality, personality, behavioral habits, and the rules of dealing with people, and even could guess Hou Yan's inner thoughts.

But she was still too naïve in the end, and Ai Qing's appearance completely overturned all her previous speculations, causing her to wonder if Ai Qing had a split personality, sometimes sensual and emotional, and sometimes indifferent and ruthless, especially when it came to herself, this feeling was even stronger.

"Ai Qing, it's a girl, so you just left, it's not good. ”

Hou Yan is very dissatisfied with Ai Qing's attitude, probably because the two have different contact angles with the opposite sex, which leads to the different ways of getting along between the two and the dragon girl.

"I don't care how you get in touch with her, but I'm not as obscene as you. ”

"Then you ...... last night"

"Shut up!"

Ai Qing is going to regret dying now, I don't know if her brain circuit was shortened last night, why did she fall into the way of Hou Yan, a stinky boy, and actually took away the sexiest panties of the dragon girl.

This incident has become the most humiliating thing for him, an elite agent has been reduced to stealing girls' underwear, if this reaches the ears of his past colleagues, it will definitely become a big laughing stock in the secret service world, and it will also fall to Hou Yan.

"Stay away from that dragon girl, she's dangerous, not something you can deal with. ”

Hou Yan's EQ is not low, and his IQ can also reach a passing grade, but his vigilance is too low, especially for a beauty like the Dragon Girl, he is even more defenseless, not that he is distracted, but just an appreciation of beauty.

Ai Qing returned to the guest house according to Hou Yan's instructions, and happened to see their driver, Master Hu, sitting at the door chatting with Tang Hainan, the owner of the guest house, and laughter came from time to time, it seems that the two should be very familiar.

Tang Hainan's age is older than Master Hu, because the sons and daughters of the family have gone to work in the town, the family's house is empty, his body is not very clear, and he can't go to the field to do farm work, so he found someone to convert his yard and the yard of his in-laws next door into this Kuafu Mountain Village Guest House, which is dedicated to receiving tourists from Tiannan and Haibei.

As a tour guide, Master Hu naturally attracted a lot of business for his guest house, which was mutually beneficial.

Out of curiosity about Kuafu Mountain, Ai Qing walked to Master Hu's side and greeted him warmly: "Brother Hu, what are you talking to Boss Tang about?"

"Ah, monkey, come and sit down, and our old brothers will talk about some family trivia of their children. Master Hu said with a smile when he saw Ai Qing coming back.

As the owner of the guest house, Tang Hainan's biggest characteristic is that he is hospitable, he took out a small bench from the room and put it behind Ai Qing.

"Thank you, Boss Tang. ”

"What is the old name Boss Tang, a small guest house, not a boss, just call me Old Tang. ”

Ai Qing sat in the middle of the two, and before he could say anything, the enthusiastic Tang Hainan began to chat with him.

"Monkey, I heard you're going to stay here for half a month?"

It is the first time that Tang Hainan has seen a tourist who wants to live in this small mountain village for such a long time, because the entire Kuafu Mountain Scenic Area only takes more than half a day to browse it all, and most of the tourists in the past stay here for two nights, and they will return to the town on the third day, and very few people will stay for one more day.

Master Hu also looked at Ai Qing curiously when he heard Tang Hainan's words, he was responsible for taking the four of them to play in Kuafu Mountain for one day tomorrow, and the task could be regarded as complete, and he would start to receive the next batch of tourists the next day, and he didn't know the itinerary of Ai Qing and the others after that.

"I'll tell you the truth, we're here for the same thing. Ai Qing rummaged through her phone for the photo of the exchange day.

Now that they have arrived at the mission location, they are still confused about the mission goal, in order to find clues, there is no need for him to hide it from Tang Hainan, but he hopes that Tang Hainan can recognize the Hui Ri Pan, even if he has heard of it, he can determine the existence of this thing, which will also be of great help to their mission.

"What is this?" Tang Hainan put on his reading glasses and looked at the picture on Ai Qing's phone screen.

"This thing is called the Dove Xi Pupil Wheel, also known as the Hui Ri Pan, have you ever heard of it?"

Tang Hainan frowned and shook his head.

"Monkey, look at you, I don't know Lao Tang or I, let alone anyone else in this village, no one knows more than us. ”

Master Hu saw that Tang Hainan's answer was the same as his own, and he spoke with confidence, one of the two was driving to pick up tourists, and the other was opening a store to entertain tourists, what kind of people had not been in contact with?

Ai Qing put away the photo, slightly disappointed, could it be that the few of them really found the wrong place as Master Hu said?

"Wait a minute, the two of us don't know, but one more might know. ”

If you want to say that the person who knows the most in this Kuafu Mountain Village, Tang Hainan immediately thought of a person in his mind, but this person is more special, so he hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Who?" Ai Qing and Master Hu asked in unison.

"There was a beggar in the village, he was at least eighty years old this year, and for as long as I can remember, he was begging for food in the village, and he was crazy and unpopular. ”

Master Hu lost his voice and said, "Are you talking about that crazy man?"

"That's right, it is said that he also came from other places back then, but then he stayed in the village for some reason. ”

Ai Qing seemed to have caught something in his head, and for some reason, he was very sure that the crazy Ji in the mouth of the two was the key to his mission.

"Where does this man live now?"

"Monkey, don't listen to this old thing, that madman cheats in the village every day, if people don't give it, he will make a big fuss like crazy, and in the middle of the night he will pretend to be a ghost to retaliate against others, at that time my father left Kuafu Mountain Village because he couldn't stand this madman. ”

Master Hu hurriedly stopped, after so many years, he still has lingering palpitations about what happened back then, he has seen the madman Ji go crazy with his own eyes, as if he was half possessed by something unclean, talking nonsense, and behaving strangely to the point of frightening.

"Brother Hu is right, he is indeed a madman, whether you want to go to him or not depends on your own decision. ”

Ai Qing thought about it, distinguishing between the truth and falsehood of what the two people in front of her said, and wondered in her heart whether the beggar who was called Ji Maniac was really as terrifying as Master Hu said.

While he was still thinking, a black figure walked past him and entered the guest house.

Ai Qing's first feeling was that this person gave him a strong sense of familiarity, but because he had other things that needed to be solved quickly, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Old Tang, this thing is really important to me, I decided to go to this crazy maniac, and please show me the way. ”

Tang Hainan seemed to have guessed that Ai Qing would answer like this, sighed, and raised his hand to point to the street in front of the guest house.

"Follow this road all the way, turn left after three intersections, you will see a stone monument in the village of Kuafu, follow the road facing the stone monument to the mountain, and walk about a kilometer, you will see a thatched house, that is the residence of the madman Ji. ”

"Thank you, who is that man in black who just walked in?"

In order to prevent Master Hu from blocking him again, Ai Qing turned the topic elsewhere.

"The man arrived yesterday, he was wearing a white mask all the time, I couldn't see his face, it was very mysterious, I remember that he was going to live here for half a month. Tang Hainan pondered.

"Do you know his name, then?"

"I really don't know. ”

Ai Qing didn't ask any more questions, hid her doubts in her heart, turned around and walked to her room, the black shadow in the corridor was gone, and she should have returned to her room.

He decided to have a meal first, and then go to the madman Ji to ask about the news of Huiri Pan, hoping that the madman could give him some useful news.

Not long after Ai left, the dragon girl also returned to the guest house, and the four of them tasted the local specialties in the restaurant in the guest house, a total of two dishes, but the four of them ate enough, enough to see how big the dish was.

Ai Qing is still used to acting alone, so she didn't tell the other three about going to find Ji Maniac later, anyway, it's not a particularly important matter, Ai Qing said that she needs to go outside after she is full to digest and digest food, which did not arouse the suspicion of Dragon Girl and others at all.

The dragon girl looked at Ai Qing's serious expression, she didn't have the habit of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, she didn't ask a word more, wiped her mouth and returned to her room.

Lone Dragon and Ghost Shadow didn't react when they saw the dragon girl, so naturally they didn't take the initiative to ask Ai Qing where she was going, creating good conditions for Ai Qing to travel alone.
