"By the way, Amei, is your hometown here?" Chen Zilong asked tentatively. ± top novel,

"Huh? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Ah Mei raised her head and asked, staring at Chen Zilong suspiciously.

"I'll just ask casually, and it's okay if you don't want to answer." Chen Zilong replied.

Ah Mei didn't answer Chen Zilong's question in the end, but just continued to hurry on her own.

Due to the ruggedness of the road and the fact that the road was slippery after dark, the two walked for more than an hour before they saw lights appear halfway up the mountain in front of them.

"That's the nearest old village, we'll spend the night there tonight." Seeing Chen Zilong looking there, Ah Mei gasped slightly and said.

To be honest, at the beginning, Amei thought that Chen Zilong was going to be strong in front of her, ready to take the backpack when the other party couldn't hold it.

Because some metropolitan sons have done this before.

But to Amei's surprise, along the way, Chen Zilong walked steadily. On the contrary, it was her, who almost slipped twice, but was quickly supported by Chen Zilong's eyes.

Under the cover of the night, Amei secretly looked at Chen Zilong from time to time, her eyes rolling slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chen Zilong pretended not to find anything, continued to use the flashlight, and continued to hurry.

Entering the village, Amerang led Chen Zilong to an attic.

Because it was dark, Chen Zilong couldn't see clearly, anyway, the vague outline looked like an attic, but it looked a little old.

Ah Mei asked Chen Zilong to wait for a while, and then walked in.

After a while, Amei stood at the door and beckoned to Chen Zilong.

Inside, Chen Zilong saw that the owner of the attic was an old woman about seventy or eighty years old, with skin like pine bark on her face and a black-brown age spot.

She wore a wide Miao costume and some unnamed silver ornaments on her head.

Although the old woman was already old, her spirit seemed to be very good, and she had been looking at Chen Zilong when he came in.

"This is Granny Meng, let's spend the night at her house tonight." Ah Mei introduced to Chen Zilong.

Out of politeness, Chen Zilong bent slightly towards Granny Meng and said, "Excuse me, old man." ”

Granny Meng didn't seem to understand Mandarin very well, and after Chen Zilong finished speaking, she asked Ah Mei again.

But Chen Zilong couldn't understand a word, gurgling, probably authentic Miao language, Chen Zilong thought in his heart.

Ah Mei looked at Chen Zilong, and also communicated with Granny Meng in the same language for a while, and then said to Chen Zilong: "Granny Meng said that you are not polite, come as if you are your own home, don't be restrained!" ”

When Chen Zilong saw that Ah Mei was talking, the old man was also looking at him, and nodded hurriedly, which was regarded as a response to Granny Meng.

Seeing this, the old man turned and walked to a nearby room.

At this time, Chen Zilong noticed that one of Granny Meng's legs was not very flexible, and she fell and fell when she walked, and her knees seemed to be unable to stand up.

Seeing this, Ah Mei sighed slightly, and said to Chen Zilong: "Granny Meng used to go up the mountain to cut pigweed and hurt her leg, and she suffered some typhoid fever during her recuperation, so she fell into such a disease. ”

"Is she alone here? What about her family? Chen Zilong looked into the room and asked.

"Granny Meng's wife passed away three years ago, and her son works outside the home all year round, and he only comes back to reunite during the New Year's holidays. My mother-in-law has never studied, and she was closed before, so she has never been out of the mountains in her life. ”

"In this way, then how did you meet, looking at Granny Meng as if she was very familiar with you?" Chen Zilong wondered.

"Coincidentally, the first time I brought other people into the village, it happened to be a rainy day, and when Granny Meng saw it, she beckoned us to go in to take shelter from the rain."

Then I knew about Granny Meng's situation, so whenever I brought someone in the future, I would stay at Granny Meng's house and give her the corresponding reward. At first, Granny Meng refused to ask for anything, but it was only after I begged her several times that my mother-in-law finally agreed to take a symbolic amount. Ah Mei said, looking at Granny Meng's room with admiration in her eyes.

Although it was just a few simple words, Chen Zilong was deeply impressed by the old man's kindness.

The two of them lived on the second floor of the attic, and above that, there was a simple stove for cooking.

However, because they were afraid of affecting Granny Meng's rest, the two did not cook on it, but directly used the food they brought to satisfy their hunger.

During this period, Chen Zilong also learned some information about the old village here from Amei.

There are three old villages here, and of course the other two go a little deeper.

One thing these villages have in common is that they are all very old, and the deepest one of them can even be traced back thousands of years.

And due to the development of the current times, some young people in the old village have begun to go out, and the rest are basically some old people who stay here.

At the same time, Chen Zilong also learned from Amei that Lao Yu was also familiar with a family in this village, and he always had to stay there every time he took someone.

As for the pay, Amei never asked, and she didn't care about that.

"Amei, let me ask you a question, can you answer me truthfully?" After chatting for a while, Chen Zilong suddenly asked Ah Mei.

"It depends on what the question is, if it's about me, I'll refuse to answer it." Ame replied.

Although the two were alone in the room at the moment, Ah Mei didn't seem to be worried about Chen Zilong, but waited for Chen Zilong's next words with a curious face.

When Chen Zilong heard her say this, Zhengse asked, "Have you ever heard of who will be Gu among these old villages?" ”

As soon as his words came out, Ah Mei's face changed significantly, and she looked at Chen Zilong in surprise.

Although Chen Zilong felt that her expression was not quite right, he didn't care, after all, there were very few people who could do Gu magic, even if it was a local, I was afraid that she would be able to change her color, not to mention that Ah Mei was still a girl under the age of twenty.

"You, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Ame asked in surprise.

Chen Zilong didn't plan to hide it anymore at the moment, so he told Ah Mei the situation: "Let me tell you the truth, the purpose of my coming this time is to find a powerful character who can play tricks." ”

"The woman among the people brought by Lao Yu is my friend, her grandfather was tricked, and we came to find a solution this time."

"Then why don't you be together, but separate, and you have to follow them?" Amei calmed her mind and asked suspiciously.

"Remember the old man who went to the mall to buy things during the day?"

"yes, yes."

"I suspect that he is also involved in the Gu, so I am prepared to secretly follow him to avoid being discovered by him."

Listening to Chen Zilong's words, Ah Mei nodded thoughtfully, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, she looked up at Chen Zilong and asked, "How are you sure that your friend's grandfather was tricked?" ”

"Although I don't know Gu techniques, I'm pretty sure, and I also know what kind of Gu the other party is playing." Chen Zilong definitely replied.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to toss thousands of miles to this deep mountain.

The Gu technique thing was not a joke, as soon as he remembered that someone had put a weird little bug on his body, Chen Zilong felt a chill down his spine for no reason.

Next Olympics!

"You know? Then tell me, what kind of poison is it? Ah Mei obviously didn't believe what Chen Zilong said, and the fox asked.

"Skeleton Worm Gu!" Chen Zilong said heavily.

"What?" Ah Mei suddenly screamed in surprise, and her whole pretty face turned pale.

However, she seemed to realize that Chen Zilong had been watching her, and hurriedly covered up that emotion.

"You know this?" Despite this, Chen Zilong still saw all her reactions and asked tentatively.

"I, no, don't know." Amei looked away and said hesitantly.

"Okay, I'm sleepy, let's go to bed first. You go to bed early, too, and we're on our way tomorrow. Ah Mei stood up, dropped these words, and then went into another room without looking back.

The more she was like this, the more Chen Zilong was puzzled.

He didn't understand why Ah Mei had such a violent reaction when he said 'Skeleton Alien Gu'.

However, seeing that Amei didn't seem to plan to say anything, Chen Zilong didn't want to ask any more, and after cleaning up the leftover garbage for the two, he also got up and went back to the room.

Just as Chen Zilong was about to fall asleep, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came into Chen Zilong's ears.

If it's just a normal footstep, it's fine, after all, it's not just this family, maybe it's other people in the village.

But what made Chen Zilong completely sleepy was that the footsteps sounded like he was panicked, and the sound was getting smaller and smaller, and it seemed that he was going to get out of this village.

Odd!

It's late now, and it's just raining, why are people running out without sleeping, and what's even more incredible is that listening to the sound is still going in the direction of the mountains.

Suddenly, the figure of Dr. Qiu flashed in Chen Zilong's mind.

Could it be him?

Chen Zilong's eyes lit up, he immediately got dressed, walked out of the attic lightly, and chased in the direction of the footsteps.

Not long after he chased out, he saw someone staggering forward with a flashlight about a hundred meters in front of him, and Chen Zilong had already been able to see things at night, so he didn't come out with a flashlight.

Chen Zilong was trying his best to see who the other party was, but the person in front of him suddenly stopped, and turned around and shone a flashlight behind him.

The light of the strong flashlight hit the place where Chen Zilong was standing just now, but Chen Zilong was nowhere to be seen at all.

How can the other party's speed be compared to Chen Zilong, Chen Zilong saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately jumped into the grass next to him, hiding his body in the half-human-tall weeds.

Although that person didn't see Chen Zilong, it didn't mean that Chen Zilong couldn't see him.

Chen Zilong guessed correctly, the dark shadow who went out late at night was Dr. Qiu who was following Mo Chuqing.

Dr. Qiu turned the light around the left and right, and found nothing unusual, then turned around again and walked deeper into the mountain.

it!

This old boy is still suspicious, and it seems that he has really done too much of it.

Chen Zilong deliberately waited for Dr. Qiu to go farther away before he emerged from the grass and continued to sneak along.

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, Chen Zilong is sure that Dr. Qiu must have some unsavory conspiracy when he came out in the middle of the night.

Chen Zilong originally planned to wait until tomorrow, but he didn't expect Dr. Qiu to lose his breath first.
