According to Feng Chime'er's plan, Qin Zheng and his entourage inquired about the residences of the soldiers who participated in that battle according to the names and addresses on this roster. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it didn't go particularly well, most of these people's ancestral homes were scattered all over the Heavenly Soul Country, and they searched all over the place, and there were only more than ten reads near Fengyang City.

They had already searched for seven of them, three of them were empty, two of them claimed that the soldier on the roster had been killed, and two of them had moved to another place after hearing from their neighbors.

The eighth household still had no one answering the door, Qin Zheng shook his head and knocked on the door of the ninth household.

"Tuk tuk. ”

Qin Zheng stood silently in front of the door, Feng Chimes supported his head, leaning against the frame of the car and looking at him, no one answered the door for a long time, Qin Zheng glanced back at Feng Chimes and saw her shaking her head.

So Qin Zheng turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard that there seemed to be footsteps in the depths of the house, but the owner of the pace walked very slowly and the distance was relatively far, so he didn't hear it just now.

Qin Zheng stopped unexpectedly, returned to the door again, and made a waiting posture for the wind chimes, and after about a while, the movement of the people in the yard began to become clear and obvious, so the wind chimes also jumped out of the car and walked to the door.

"It's coming, it's coming. "An old lady's voice came from the yard, the voice was a little leaky, and the grade should be very big.

Immediately afterwards, the door creaked open, and it was an old woman who opened the door, with her body slumped, her hair thinning, her teeth almost gone, her eyes were very cloudy, and her eyesight seemed to have deteriorated very much.

The old lady squinted her eyes, looked at Qin Zheng and Feng Chime back and forth, and then asked suspiciously, "You guys...... What's the matter?"

Qin Zheng looked at the roster in his hand, confirmed his name, and said, "Old lady, may I ask, does Tian Xiaogui live here?"

Tian Xiaogui ...... Tian Xiaogui ...... "The old lady muttered the name, rolled her eyes upward, and thought for a while before saying, "You mean Dog Egg, Dog Egg went to the city to sell firewood, you come in and wait for him." ”

Qin Zheng and Feng Chime glanced at each other happily, and followed the old lady into the house, the old lady faltered, her eyes were not good, this time she almost fell off the steps, but Feng Chime was also quick, and helped the old lady to the end, and finally helped her into the house.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, and the land price in the countryside is very cheap, so the courtyard houses built by the rural people themselves are always very large, but at the same time, the furnishings inside will also want to be simple and rough, not as fine as the city people.

One table and two chairs were all the belongings in the entire hall, so that after the old lady sat down, Qin Zheng and Feng Chime were embarrassed to sit on the remaining chairs.

Qin Zheng is a man, there is no reason for a lady to sit down with him, and the wind chimes are more polite, Qin Zheng is standing, she is embarrassed to sit alone.

In the end, the old lady reacted and called Qin Zheng to the back room to get another chair.

Tian Xiaogui's life is also hard, there is nothing of value at a glance, the wooden tables are lame, and there are three or four stacks of straw paper under one table to barely stand firm, I heard that this Tian Xiaogui, when the chicken just crowed, he entered the city, and the sun was about to set at this time, and he had not come back yet.

Qin Zheng thought about whether to call the cocoa in the carriage first, so he simply had a meal at the old lady's house.

But as soon as he had this plan, he heard a middle-aged man's voice coming in from outside, "Mom, who parked that carriage outside?"

As he spoke, the man walked in, carrying a large bundle of firewood, and it seemed that business was not very good today.

This is a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and he has a fight with Qin Zheng two days ago.

He was wearing a linen vest, and two brown and black marks were pressed out of the rattan on his shoulders, he glanced at Qin Zheng and Feng Chi'er strangely, untied the firewood behind him, threw it into the yard, and said in a condensed voice, "Who are you?"

"Dog, these two people said they were looking for you, did you sell today's firewood? As she spoke, the old lady trembled and tried to get to her feet, trying to grab the middle-aged man's hand.

The man grabbed the old lady, glanced at Qin Zheng and them, and helped her to walk to the back room, saying as he walked, "Now that the weather is starting to get hot, firewood is not easy to sell, but this month can always pass peacefully, you go to rest first, and when you eat later, I will call you again." ”

"Huh...... Okay, okay. The old lady should have gone into the house with her, and was silent for a while.

After a while, the middle-aged man walked back, sat down at the table, looked at Qin Zheng and Feng Chier for a long time, and then said, "I have been discharged from the army for many years, I don't know what else is going on with me?"

The two were a little surprised, how did this middle-aged man know that they came to look for him because he had been a soldier?

The middle-aged man seemed to understand Qin Zheng's doubts, and pointed out with his chin out, "There are Feng family marks on that carriage, I still recognize this, after all...... After all, after so many years under General Feng......"

"I take the liberty of asking, ...... Probably when did you get out of the army?"

"When did you ......" the middle-aged man's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table, and said noncommittally, "Ten years ago, what did you ask about this?"

Ten years ago...... Qin Zheng and Feng Chi'er glanced at each other, isn't this time the time to return to their hometown? Could it be that the man in front of him was also retired after that battle?

So Qin Zheng asked, "So, ten years ago, in the last battle where General Feng was in charge, did you participate?"

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, as if he remembered something very bad, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you asking this?"

Although he didn't say it directly, his reaction had already shown that he did participate in that big battle, but why did he react like this, could it be that the battle back then was really so terrifying?

What happened in that mysterious town of Three Rivers back then?

"We want to know what happened in that battle and where it happened. Qin Zheng said truthfully.

"East of the Three Rivers, a hundred miles of the River Styx, I can't tell you anything else. The middle-aged man's expression changed and changed, and then he simply turned around and walked into the back room, it seemed that he didn't plan to come out again.

East of the Three Rivers, a hundred miles of the River Styx...... This may seem like a lot of range, but it's better than being like a headless fly without any direction.

So the two got up to leave, and when they passed by the vicinity of the pair of firewood, Qin Zheng suddenly said, "Miss Ling'er, do you have any money on you?"
