The road in the alley was a little difficult to detour, Qu Xiaotang pondered for a long time, and hesitated at the mouth of the alley.

"I knew you wouldn't find your way." Qu Xiaoyu walked out from behind her.

Qu Xiaotang pouted: "I have already heard a little news, my uncle came here to stay for a while, and then he followed a troop away." ”

"Troops? My uncle is a painter, how can he be involved in the affairs of the army? Qu Xiaoyu was puzzled.

"I don't know, the old man said let's go to the mayor and ask." Qu Xiaotang glanced at Qu Xiaoyu.

Qu Xiaoyu nodded: "It's all here, let's ask clearly." The mayor's office is near the station, so let's drive there. ”

"Okay." Qu Xiaotang followed Qu Xiaoyu out of the alley.

After getting in the car, Qu Xiaotang always felt that something was wrong, but for a while, he didn't know what was wrong.

Qu Xiaoyu quickly drove the car to the side of the station.

The two got out of the car and went straight to the mayor's office.

When I entered the office, the mayor was sipping tea.

"Hello Mayor Mare, I'd like to ask you about it." Qu Xiaotang politely greeted the mayor.

The mayor still had some impressions of Qu Xiaotang as a volunteer teacher, so he readily agreed.

"Is there a painter surnamed Luo who you remember coming to this town?" Qu Xiaotang asked.

"The surname Luo? The surname Luo in our town seems to be Xiao Luo, Deputy Luo Bureau. The mayor thought for a moment and said.

Qu Xiaotang shook his head: "I mean, apart from Deputy Director Luo, is there anyone surnamed Luo who has ever been to this Pingzhen?" ”

"You're asking the right question. I have been the mayor of this town for almost twenty years, and I have a record and archive of these outsiders. You sit down first, and I'll go through the files. The mayor put down the tea and said to Qu Xiaotang.

Qu Xiaotang and Qu Xiaoyu glanced at each other and sat down on the chair.

The mayor stood in front of the bookcase and looked at it for a long time, then took a thick booklet from the top floor.

He flipped through it roughly, and his fingertips finally stopped at a certain page.

"Found it, there is a man surnamed Luo here, who came here seventeen years ago." As he spoke, the mayor walked towards Qu Xiaotang and the others with the booklet.

Qu Xiaotang took the booklet and looked at it, with an explanation on it.

Luo Peng, who lived in Pingzhen on xx month xx of xxxx year, and left Pingzhen in xxxx year. It shows that the time he stayed in Pingzhen was less than a year.

"This young man, I remembered. I still have a little impression of him, at that time, he carried a sketchpad on his back, and there was a literati artistic atmosphere. I helped him with the formalities of his residence, and this young man was also very polite. Mayor Mare sighed.

"Then why did he leave suddenly? Mayor Town, did Luo Peng say anything to you when he left? Qu Xiaotang asked.

"This ...... Didn't seem to say anything to me. At that time, I still remember that a group of soldiers came to us and said that they wanted to check something, and I almost forgot about it. Later, Xiao Luo carried the sketchpad on his back and left with them. After so many years, I really haven't seen him come back. Mayor Mare's sighed.

Qu Xiaoyu remembered something, looked up and asked, "Then Mayor do you have any photos or anything like that?" ”

"You also know it in those days, where did the photos come from? But Xiao Luo told me at the time that he was already married, and I originally wanted to use my daughter as a matchmaker for him, but it was a pity. When the mayor talked about this, his eyebrows and eyes were full of sorrow.

"That'...... Any other news? Qu Xiaotang then asked.

Mayor Marew shook his head, "No, that's all I know." ”

"Okay, we got it. Thank you, Mayor. Qu Xiaotang thanked him.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mayor Mare's hand waved.

Qu Xiaotang pulled Qu Xiaoyu out of the mayor's office.

"Qu Xiaotang, do you feel that something is wrong?" As soon as Qu Xiaoyu came out, he looked at Qu Xiaotang anxiously.

Qu Xiaotang nodded: "Let's get in the car and talk about it." ”

The two of them quickly got into the car.

"Let's go." Qu Xiaoyu started the car.

The car drove out of Pingzhen, and Qu Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief: "I always feel that something is too wrong, as if everything has been arranged." ”

"I was about to say. Don't you think it's all a coincidence? It's been almost twenty years, and there are still people who remember it clearly, and deliberately told us that they had an impression of him, but they didn't stay here for long. In the end, they all unified the caliber, leaving us with suspense. Went to the army, the sky is big, we can't find it. Qu Xiaoyu frowned.

"I don't want to believe that the old woman is such a person, but she keeps guiding us to the mayor, which is a bit intriguing. At first, she was still stumbling, why did she become more organized as soon as you left? Qu Xiaotang agreed with Qu Xiaoyu's conjecture.

Qu Xiaoyu held the steering wheel and frowned: "How could there be such a coincidence, as if everything was colluded and waiting for us to jump in?" Qu Xiaotang, do you think all this is a bit unreasonable? Moreover, even if my uncle really left with the troops, we would be cut off from the clues, and we would have no way to start. ”
