32. Find clues
An Xiaoxiao and the others can only live up to Wei Zhixian's kindness. For three days in a row, they were squatting in the cemetery on the outskirts of the city, and finally asked them to wait for an old man who burned paper money for the soldiers in the cemetery.
"Ten years ago, ......?" The old man glanced at An Xiaoxiao strangely: "You little girl, how can you be interested in this kind of thing?" ”
An Xiaoxiao has been pretending to be stupid and cute for ten years in a row, and her acting skills have soared thousands of miles and entered the realm of transformation, only to see her look gloomy, and she pointed to the graveyard and said: "Here, my father is buried!" ”
An Xiaoxiao made up stories while praying that his father would not blame him.
"Back then, my father left his pregnant mother to deliver supplies and food for the front-line soldiers, but the result was ...... I don't even know what my father looks like......"
An Xiaoxiao's acting skills were fully opened, and she wanted to cry: "Now, I can only come to Fang County to have a look to comfort my father's soul in the sky." ”
The old man looked at An Xiaoxiao's red eyes, felt pity, and sighed: "Poor child! ”
"Old uncle, I see you worshipping here, thinking if you are also like me, you have lost your relatives here?"
"Not really. Old man, I was recruited to dispose of the corpse, and when I saw that tragic scene, I couldn't sleep for ten years. I have to come to worship every year, hoping that these soldiers can live better in the underworld. ”
"Old uncle, maybe you handled my father back then!"
"Huh? Ahem, possibly, possibly. The old man thought to himself, why is this child's eyes shining, isn't it an old man, I am dazzled?
An Xiaoxiao sat down next to the old man, pulled his sleeve, and begged pitifully: "Just tell me about the scene at that time!" I'll go back and reply to my mother! ”
"Okay!" The old man looked far away and began to recall the past: "At that time, several officials came to our county to recruit people, and I was quite strong at the time, so I followed. When I got here, I was really scared to death, more than 100 lives! The corpses lay on the ground, their blood staining the entire land red. ”
"What was the cause of their death? Killed by someone, poisoned to death? ”
"It looks like they've been hacked to death. However, at that time, I heard an official ask, "With so many people, won't they all run away?" Stay where you are and be hacked to death? At this time, another official said that they may have been drugged first, and only after fainting were they ended their lives one by one! ”
"It's cruel!" An Xiaoxiao was a little angry, since they were all drugged, those people burned the supplies, they could stop there, but they had to kill everyone. "Did you hear them discuss a general surnamed Ruan?"
"I know that it's the traitor, right?" The old man's face was ruthless: "I heard those officials say that when they saw some messy footprints at the scene, they followed and traced them, but they disappeared when they arrived in the Divine Dragon Forest." ”
"Shenlong Forest?"
"Yes, that dense forest is very dangerous, there is a snake valley in it, and all kinds of pythons live in it. We locals only dare to collect some medicinal herbs around the dense forest, and we dare not go in. Ten years ago, some officials went into the forest to search, and I heard that they all went and did not return. ”
……
An Xiaoxiao told the Aoxue sisters the clues she had inquired about, and analyzed them for them: "If Uncle Ruan is really a traitor, why did he flee with the assassins to that kind of death. There must be something else going on in this matter. It seems that we need to explore the dragon forest. ”
"No way!" Ao Xue shook her head resolutely: "It's enough to find this step, I can't let you take any more risks!" ”
Xia Qing's expression was almost exactly the same as Ao Xue's at this time: "Xiaoxiao, Shenlong Lin sounds so dangerous, you are a child, what can you find when you go in?" Let's forget it! ”
An Xiaoxiao tilted her head, blinked at the two of them, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Okay!" Daddy wrote to us the day before yesterday urging us to go back. Why don't we pack our bags and leave for Huacheng in two days? ”
Ao Xue and Xia Qing glanced at each other and nodded neatly.
