Xue Tan followed behind the man, looking at the road he passed along the way.

No wonder it stopped when it got there, in Xue Tan's opinion, it was simply to hide people's ears.

Xue Tan and the others still went back the same way they had just come, back to the place where he had first laid the fruit.

Someone should have deliberately disguised this place as a road, and this man surnamed Zhao was waiting here.

But this is a bare mountain, so you don't need to be so vigilant, right?

After a few steps, the three of them stopped.

"This, this, isn't this what I just said?" Xiao Wang said with some surprise.

"That's what you mean here?" After that, Xue Tan glanced at the man in black, and his expression did not change.

"Don't be too surprised, there's not a lot of people here." The man was expressionless.

Xue Tan looked at the face that looked like mahjong tiles, and only felt that this feeling was very familiar.

Much like a person.

Yin Qingqi. It's Yin Qingqi.

Xue Tan couldn't figure out why she suddenly remembered Yin Qingqi, that is, when some people who were inexplicably similar to her or things related to her appeared, she would think of her irrepressibly.

There's no way around it, like that's it.

The man seemed to be looked at strangely by Xue Tan, and walked forward muttering.

I guess I was taken for a fool, or I was thought of as a psychopath.

Xue Tan smiled, a little self-deprecating.

The man took Xue Tan to a slightly more formal path.

Crisscross.

The environment here is very good, behind the trees, there are some scattered farmland.

The sun is shining all year round, and the rain is abundant, so the crops in the fields grow well.

It doesn't look like it looks like it from the outside.

However, after Xue Tan walked in here, he suddenly understood what the suspicion on the man's face just now was.

There are no pheasants or ducks on these paths, only a few of them are raised by some farmers.

Isn't that teasing him? Are the names of the north of the city fake?

The surname Zhao seemed to see Xue Tan's doubts, "There is a piece of land in front and behind, which has been abandoned for decades, and in recent years, someone has reclaimed it and made a farm." ”

Xue Tan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his excuse could still stand.

"But those are all sold to their own people, and most of the outside markets are counterfeited in the south of the city. Although I don't say these on the surface, you should all know about them. ”

So what I just said was overturned.

"Just walk around here on your own, just don't run around. Otherwise, I can't afford to hear what happens. The man said responsibly.

Who's in charge of you? Xiao Wang thought disdainfully in his heart.

Xue Tan smiled thoughtfully, "May I ask Brother Ren, is there anyone surnamed Ding here?" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the person had not left, Xue Tan hurriedly stopped him and asked.

The man paused, then turned back slightly. "Yes, there is one, but you have ...... Forget it, there's only one, and if you want to go, I can take you there. ”

This was one of the few expressions that Xue Tan had seen since he met this person.

The expression of the image does not fit the person at all.

He seemed to be a little hesitant, in Xue Tan's opinion, he should have wanted to ask them what they were doing with the surname Ding.

But why didn't he ask?

Xue Tan also couldn't figure it out, the place occupied by this mountain was not small, and those people were very far apart, if there were any neighbors, the distance between the two families should be three times the normal distance in the capital.

If that's the case, their relationship is inevitably somewhat close.

Xue Tan doesn't think that the people here are all nosy, maybe the people surnamed Ding here are also important people.

"Then I'm bothering you."

Xue Tan didn't have the thoughtfulness just now, and answered directly.

Anyway, after it is delivered later, the soldiers will be divided into two ways, no one knows anyone, and they are still polite to him.

Now Xue Tan and Xiao Wang are the same as just now, walking behind that person, I don't know why, Xue Tan always doesn't want to worry about what to call this person, even if he knows the surname, he doesn't want to spend extra brains.

Now they had gone a long way.

Almost to the top of the hill, the man stopped.

"This is it. There is only one woman living in the house now. The man seemed to be just giving an ordinary account of the situation.

The man no longer led them inside, and probably thought it was not good for a few big men to find a woman.

He also knows how to avoid suspicion.

However, Xue Tan has a clear conscience, and he won't do anything anyway.

But the man didn't leave, he stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Xue Tan knock on the door a little rusty, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"Squeak-" rang out.

It was as if the door hadn't been opened for a long time, and the sound was becoming particularly harsh at the moment.

If it weren't for the fact that Xue Tan had heard that there was a woman living here, he would definitely feel that he had entered the wrong door.

Xue Tan was accustomed to seeing those women with gold and silver in the capital, and they usually did not go out of the door, but these figures were always indispensable in those singing and dancing parties.

I saw them in some entertainment venues, and life was extremely simple and worry-free.

But the person in front of him is completely different.

It would not be too much to say that this is an old woman.

It may be that Xue Tan has always had some problems with the understanding of women, or it may be that it is really because the woman in front of her is really not in line with her age.

Her hair was mostly gray, and her face was not delicate, with wrinkles crawling at the corners of her eyes.

"Who are you looking for?" The voice is also a little hoarse.

Xue Tan was taken aback by everything in front of him.

How is this so different from what I expected?

"Hello, may I ask the people of this family, is the surname Ding?" Xue Tan still had a glimmer of hope, maybe the person standing outside didn't make it clear, this person was just a maid of the Ding family, and maybe the housekeeper couldn't say it.

I saw a trace of pain flash on the man's face, and then replied to Xue Tan with a frown: "Come in first."

Let's talk about what comes in.

Xue Tan and Xiao Wang lowered their heads and walked through the thin door.

The threshold is a little low, and Xue Tan and Xiao Wang are tall and tall, so it is impossible to pass without bowing their heads.

Xue Tan didn't forget to look back before entering the door, he remembered that the person just now didn't leave.

However, he seemed to leave after making sure that Xue Tan and Xiao Wang would not pose any threat here.

So Xue Tan didn't see anything.

At this moment, the woman went to the side to pour water, leaving Xue Tan and Xiao Wang sitting in front of two slightly worn chairs, looking at everything around them.
