The young man turned around Jiang Ning suspiciously, this dress was indeed worn by Jiang Ning when they met in the ice field that day, this person's appearance was indeed Jiang Ning's appearance, Jiang Ning's face when he saw him before did not seem to be fake, and patted him on the shoulder with some sympathy to show comfort.

"Since you forgot, let's get to know each other again," the young man smiled, "My name is Cui Juan, hunter." ”

Jiang Ning said: "Since we have met before, have I ever mentioned to you where I am from and what I do?"

The boy shook his head: "I asked you, but you didn't say, and I didn't ask again, but you once asked me about someone." ”

"Who?"

The young man said: "Luo Mingyuan, but there is no such person in our Zishantuo Village, after that, you stayed in the village for a while, probably thinking that the person might have changed his name, and after a few days, you suddenly came to me to say goodbye, and then left in the Lei family's hitchhiker." ”

"Luo Mingyuan, Luo Mingyuan. Jiang Ning put his hand on his cheek, muttered in a low voice, and then asked, "You said earlier that we met on the ice field, and I also teamed up with you to kill a bear?"

It's not that Jiang Ning doesn't trust the young man in front of him, it's just that the young man obviously doesn't have any internal strength except for his strength, and Jiang Ning's own internal strength is obviously impossible to fight a bear.

seemed to see Jiang Ning's doubts, and said with a smile: "With the two of us alone, we are naturally not the opponent of the big bear, but the bear fell into my trap and was already injured a lot, it was a wound that burst and bleed to death." ”

Speaking of this, the young man scratched his head a little embarrassed, and continued: "I know that the white bear will become more ferocious when it is injured, but I didn't expect it to be able to break free from my rope net, if you didn't come to the rescue, I was afraid that I would have died in the bear's mouth." ”

Jiang Ning nodded, if so, it still makes sense.

"It's just that since I'm looking for someone, what am I doing when I go to the ice field to the north?"

"Then I don't know," the young man spread his hands and put on a helpless expression, and continued, "Then you came here this time just to find out your identity?"

Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "You don't know anything about what happened in Songxue Village?"

The young man said: "Didn't there be a snowstorm some time ago? The wooden houses in the village have been blown down several times, and none of them have collapsed, and they are more or less damaged. ”

"Wait," said the young man, who was suddenly asked with some curiosity, "The snow is still falling outside, and the snow on the pine plain is higher than the people, how did you two come here? ”

Jiang Ning smiled: "Naturally, it flew over." ”

"Cut!" the young man pursed his lips and complained, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, and don't lie smartly." ”

Jiang Ning then asked, "In your village, you really can't hear any strange sounds at night?"

The young man named Cui Juan affirmed: "Candles are also bought with money, and generally there are no important things, so we don't use them casually, so everyone in the village goes to bed early, and at night there is no sound except for the wind." ”

Jiang Ning asked again, "Then will the people in your village go hunting on Zituo Mountain?"

Cui Juan rolled his eyes, looked at Jiang Ning like an idiot, and said, "Thirty percent of our village is made up of hunters, and Zituo Mountain is next to the village, do you think we should go?"

Jiang Ning didn't care about the boy's contempt, but then asked, "Haven't you ever died?"

The young man said: "I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? Hunters sometimes become the prey of wild beasts." However, in the past ten years, only one person in the village went up the mountain to hunt and was bitten to death by a wild wolf, and this Zituo Mountain is probably safe. ”

The girl standing next to Jiang Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the word 'safety' pop out of Cui Xuan's mouth.

Safety? Songxue Village has lost many people because of strange things on the mountain? You tell me that the mountain is safe now?

"Then what should we do now?" Zishantuo Village didn't have much to gain from this trip, and Shen Bing was hesitating whether she and Jiang Ning should go back to Songxue Village at this time, or stay here to see if they could find more clues.

Jiang Ning fell into deep thought when he heard this.

Once again, he entered into that detached self-thinking, which was not unique to him, but was the credit of the cheap master Tong Zhi.

I still remember that the fat man was gnawing on the chicken leg while talking to himself, "When your vision is shrouded in fog and you can't see the people and things around you clearly, you need to think about it from a different angle, for example, if you are the person with that layout, how should you play this game of chess?"

"Lei Family, Li Family, Songxue Village, Zishantuo Village, Cave, Jianzhuang, Scarlet Lake, Shen Bing, Female Devil, Sun Hao, Convoy, Avalanche, Dead Man, Xiangshi, Living Sacrifice, Escape, Songyuan, Ice Field, Mountain Mulberry, Cui Judge, Blacksmith, Luo Mingyuan..."

Jiang Ning went through all the scattered information he had collected through different methods during this period of time in his mind, most of these information were irrelevant, and he couldn't stitch together a complete event no matter what, which made him a little confused.

The things when Qingxuan was studying art involuntarily came to mind.

"Master, what if there are too many chess pieces and the positions are too scattered to be laid out?"

The fat man swallowed the chicken in his mouth slowly, and said with a smile: "That can only mean that you don't have enough chess pieces in your hand, and what you have to think about at this time is not how to play chess, but how to find more chess pieces!"

Jiang Ning rubbed his eyebrows.

There are still many places where chess pieces are placed, and so far, the only places he has been to are Songxue Village and Zishantuo.

Ziyun Mountain, where there is an avalanche for no reason, grows mountain mulberries, there are white bears, the Li family, the Lei family, and the ice field that he has been to before, Shen Bing's

The Jingyuan county town where her sister Shen Ling married, the son of the former Shoufu, and the current head of the Lei family, Lujiang County, where all kinds of strange things happened-Zituo Mountain, these places may hide the chess pieces they need.

Among these places where there may be chess pieces, because of the heavy snow, there are only two places that Jiang Ning can go to at present, one is Zituo Mountain, and the other is the ice field located in the northeast of Zishantuo Village.

Zituo Mountain and the Ice Field, the female demon head on the side of Zituo Mountain has passed early in the morning, as for the Ice Field, not to mention the huge area, there is also heavy snow blocking the road, plus white bears and other deadly beasts, even if there are 'chess pieces', it is not so easy to find them for a while.

"That's right," Jiang Ning suddenly patted his head with some annoyance, and said, "Why did you forget him!"

"Who?" Shen Bing's eyes widened, a little curious.

"That physiognomy master!" Jiang Ning said.

The girl in wolf's skin was going to ask if it was the unconscionable phase master who was killed by her father, but thinking that there was a Cui judge next to her, she swallowed back all the redundant words in front of her, and just asked, "Physiognomy?"

Jiang Ning smiled, affirming the girl's idea.

"Last night, when I spent the night in the stone house, I deliberately walked around the village with the female demon on my feet, and although I didn't see the big tree that emitted colorful light you mentioned, I heard the sound of 'dong dong' with my own ears. ”

Jiang Ning continued: "I have always felt strange, there are strange things happening on Zituo Mountain, but why can it only be found when it is in Songxue Village, but the people of Zishantuo Village can't find it, why is it also Zituo Mountain, the people of Songxue Village are missing, but the people of Zishantuo Village are safe and sound?"

The girl said, "Do you know why?"

Jiang Ning turned around, his eyes fell on the snow-capped Zituo Mountain in the distance, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, although Zituo Mountain is not a big mountain range, it is not small, what those people don't want people to set foot on is just the mountain range near Songxue Village, as for other places, there are people or no one to set foot in, for them, it doesn't matter." ”

The girl understood a little now, and suddenly said: "So, only when you go up the mountain from this area of Songxue Village, you will encounter strange things, in fact, someone is pretending to be a ghost and wants us to stay away from there?"

"Yes, if it weren't for that, if there really was any mountain god on this mountain, why could only Songxue Village see it, but Zishantuo couldn't see it?"

"I see. ”

The girl nodded, and tried to ask, "Then let's go up the mountain now?"

"No," Jiang Ning smiled, "Let's go back to Songxue Village first!"
