The small shop is located in a remote area, if it weren't for Guo Yu to lead the way, Hu Guiyang would not be able to find it anyway, "It's only more than ten miles away from the city, and there is such a hidden place." ”

"We also ran into each other by chance." Guo's father and son have always been wanted, they don't have any registration certificates, and they have a demented officer and soldier, so they don't dare to take the avenue, so they can only choose a small road to find this country shop that doesn't ask much about anything.

It is said to be an inn, but it is actually a few thatched huts on the side of the road, the main room is used as a storefront, and it is a small courtyard through the hall, with two or three houses on each side, low and dilapidated, and it is a miracle to survive the heavy pressure of snow this winter.

Guo Yu grew up in the mountains, he didn't pick a place to live, he didn't feel that the environment here was too bad, and took Hu Guiyang into the room at the head of the East Chamber, "We live here." ”

The room was dark, and Hu Guiyang could only see after a while.

A paved kang and a few old quilts, there were no other furnishings, the two corpses were originally horizontal on the ground, and they were carried to the kang by Guo Yu, one on one side, never moved again, the doors and windows were opened, allowing the cold wind to come in, and the corpses were almost unchanged.

Guo Yu walked out with just one look, and he couldn't pretend to be strong anymore.

Hu Guiyang examined the body carefully and found a number of small objects, including a jade pendant, which had only a red halo as thin as a thread around the round hole in the middle.

There was also a booklet, the words written on it were meaningless, Hu Guiyang couldn't understand it, and put it in his arms casually.

There is nothing to see anymore, the soldier's death is exactly the same as Tong Feng's, Guo Juren seems to be uninjured on the surface, but after careful touching, he found that his left chest collapsed slightly, obviously killed by someone with a punch or a palm.

Hu Guiyang walked out of the room and looked up at the blue sky, feeling like a world away.

Guo Yu squatted in the corner of the wall and slowly got up, "What did Captain Hu see?" ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head.

"My guess yesterday may be a bit arbitrary, but there are indeed people in the mountains who have seen He Sanchen and Gao Qingcao, they are haunting, killing people invisibly, and they love to kill people who know martial arts, everyone says that they have become demons, but in fact, they have turned into aliens."

"It's too coincidental that the two of them became aliens at the same time?"

"They're probably the ones that the Heavenly Machine Ship has special favors." Guo Yu glanced at Hu Guiyang and immediately looked away.

"Haha, do you think I'm favored too?"

"Captain Hu is different, Gu Zhongxian once claimed that he saved everyone with Captain Hu, but he escaped at a critical moment, everyone didn't believe his words, but I don't think he needs to lie about this matter, especially not to bring Captain Hu's name."

"So you think I'm the lifesaver of Yunyang Mansion?" Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"I can't be sure, but Captain Hu is different in many ways."

Hu Guiyang smiled, understanding the intention of Guo Yu's words, "Just say, what is 'different' about me, so that the two women can be favored by the heavenly machine ship, and at the same time turn into demons and become aliens?" ”

Guo Yu was slightly embarrassed and coughed, "I'm not accusing Captain Hu, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the city to defect." ”

"Understood, I just want to hear the truth, maybe the clue is in it."

"I heard that you gave them hundreds of the best gold pills, didn't you?"

"Not so many, thirty or so, I'll start earlier."

"That's right, although it is up to heaven to decide whether or not you can become an alien, but Jin Dan will be helpful, I heard that there are many aliens among the officers and soldiers, all of whom are urged by the imperial court with Jin Dan. The imperial court only allowed a very small number of strangers to show up, and the others were hidden and practiced secretly, and after a few years, they were used on the battlefield to win a hundred battles. ”

"You've heard a lot of things."

"There are so many officers and soldiers in Yunyang, it is impossible for there to be only so few aliens, how many have Captain Hu seen?"

"Just one, Xichang Tong Feng, was killed a few days ago, and he was also killed in the throat."

Guo Yu sighed, "Father originally hoped to use the aliens to gather the mountain people again, but he didn't expect to cause trouble. ”

"Let's carry the body into the car first, this place is not suitable for a long time, if you want to return to the mountains, you must set off as soon as possible."

"Yes." Guo Yu endured his grief, entered the house with Hu Guiyang, carried the two corpses to the mule cart outside the store, covered them with quilts, Guo Yu drove the car with a whip, and Hu Guiyang sat at the other end and gave him a ride.

Hu Guiyang's horse was tied to the back of the car.

"Xiaocao is a mountain people, and the He sisters and brothers have never had a grudge against the mountain people, why do you believe in the theory of turning into a demon?" Hu Guiyang still didn't figure it out.

"Because someone saw it with their own eyes, the two of them, as well as the lame brother, killed people together, and then disemboweled, and ate their hearts and livers raw, but that was a few months ago, and then they only killed people, rarely dug their hearts, and now they are killed with a sword." Guo Yu's words are chiseled.

"How many of these 'people' have you seen?" Hu Guiyang is more concerned about the source of the rumors.

Guo Yu was silent for a while, "I haven't seen it, but I've seen the tragic situation of the killed......" Guo Yu trembled, and even felt a little glad in his heart, his father died when the banshee was not so brutal, at least the whole body was retained.

"They're not that kind of people." Hu Guiyang said lightly.

"It's ridiculous to say that you have become a demon, but it's true that you're a stranger, there must be some changes in a stranger, He Sanchen and Gao Qingcao are just afraid that they're very different from before."

Hu Guiyang laughed twice, he didn't want to fight anymore, and he still wondered in his heart, why did the rumors have to target those two people?

He took out the booklet from his arms and handed it to Guo Yu, "This is your father's relic, what is written on it?" ”

Guo Yu glanced at it, "Oh, this is a record, my father has been looking for more strangers in the mountains, every place he goes, every time he checks someone, they all have to be recorded in the book." ”

Hu Guiyang flipped through a few pages, "I can't see it." ”

Guo Yu had a smile on his face, and immediately became serious again, "My father is not very literate, and he doesn't want to ask others for help, so he made up some strange words by himself." ”

"Guo Juren refuses to go out of the mountain, it's really condescending."

"My father is very proud, and he always says that once he enters the officialdom, he will be a slave for life, and even his descendants will be implicated, so it is better to be at ease in the mountains."

Hu Guiyang didn't have much contact with Guo Juren, and when he heard this, he actually felt a little sympathetic, but he didn't feel that he was at ease in the mountains, not at all.

"Can you read it?"

"Mostly."

"You can keep it, maybe you can use it."

Guo Yu took the booklet, although it was his father's relic, he still said: "Thank you, I don't think I can use it, aliens are the source of disaster, the farther away they are...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean Captain Hu, you ......"

"Different?"

Guo Yu laughed awkwardly, waved his whip, and drove the mule even tighter.

The road ahead became more and more rugged, and if he walked further, Hu Guiyang was worried that he would not be able to find his way back, so he stopped, jumped out of the car, and untied the reins of the horse behind the car, "Don't pass by, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see each other in the future, the murderer of your father, I will find out, you may be able to hear relevant rumors in the mountains, but please don't get involved." ”

The murderer is a more powerful alien, Guo Yu's skills are mediocre even among ordinary martial artists, and the closer you get to the alien, the more dangerous it is.

Guo Yu knew that Hu Guiyang had good intentions, nodded and said, "I'll wait for the news and won't go out of the mountain again." I don't want to thank you, maybe one day I can repay it. My father said that Captain Hu is more like a mountain man, if you abandon the official position one day, you can go into the mountains to find me, the Guo family's reputation is not very loud, but you can always inquire. ”

"I remember your invitation, maybe I'll really go into the mountains to make trouble."

The two didn't say much, Guo Yu drove into the mountain again, Hu Guiyang got on the horse and returned the original way, and after walking out of the road, he said to himself: "Even if I abandon the official, I will go to the southeast water town to live in seclusion, bah, a school captain, what do you say 'abandon the official'?" At best, he is a deserter. Ha ha. ”

He returned to the vicinity of Yedian, saw a team of men and horses in the distance, and sped over.

It was more than ten brocade guards and fanners, all of whom knew Hu Guiyang, and shouted when they saw him: "Hu Guiyang!" Hu Guiyang! ”

"It's not me." Hu Guiyang smiled, jumped off the horse, and pointed to a person, "Hey, isn't it your turn to guard the door in Zhao Mansion today?" How did you get here? ”

The man grabbed Hu Guiyang's arm and was extremely excited, "You don't want to run away." ”

"Escape? What are you kidding, the money is all in the Zhao Mansion, where can I escape? ”

The captain still refused to let go, "Hurry up and ask Wei Baihu to ......"

Wei Ying strode out of the store and frowned, "Let go, what will it look like?" I don't want to think about it, Captain Hu has the power of an alien, can you catch it? ”

The lieutenant let go of his hand and said curtly: "I'm in a hurry for a while......"

Hu Guiyang shook his hand, the captain's face changed suddenly, and he immediately took a few steps back.

Wei Ying stepped forward and said with a smile: "Captain Hu is not interesting enough, he clearly said that I will go to the mansion today to meet, let's start investigating the case together today, why do you take the first step?" ”

"Today hasn't passed yet, I'll go out of the city to send a friend, I don't want to trouble Wei Baihu."

"Don't bother, since I was ordered to assist Captain Hu, I have to stay inch, I will follow Captain Hu wherever he goes, I have already decided, I will move in this month, and the Zhao family still has an empty house, right?"

"Yes, I have wronged the adults of a hundred households."

"Hey, what's wronged? Zhao Ying used to be a hundred households, and his family was much larger than mine. ”

The two shook their arms and laughed, like friends who had released their previous suspicions, and the captains and executioners around them were dumbfounded, and they were a little admired.

"Has anyone ever died in the store?" Wei Ying put away her smile and asked.

"My friend's father died here, and they were mountain people, and they had no nationality and could not be buried locally, so I sent him a car to carry the body into the mountains."

"The mountain people are unruly, this friend of yours didn't participate in the rebellion, did he?"

"Acquaintances, I haven't met a few times in total, who knows what they've done."

"Hehe, Captain Hu is really generous, and he will send the car and see him off when he is a general friend."

Hu Guiyang blinked his eyes, "I don't have any other advantages as a person, just friendship." ”

"Haha, Captain Hu, this friend, I've made it." Wei Ying patted Hu Guiyang's shoulder, and the smile on her face was put away again, "You can start investigating the case?" ”

"Yes, what does Wei Baihu think?"

"I'm the helper, and everything is arranged by Captain Hu."

"Well, let's go see the princess of the Lou family first."

Wei Ying's face was slightly gloomy, "Captain Hu is serious? ”

Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "Start with the most difficult place to investigate, if the resistance is too great, let's go to the factory and say that the case can't be investigated, it's better than retreating halfway through the investigation, what does Wei Baihu think?" ”

Wei Ying gradually smiled, "It's up to you." ”

Hu Guiyang sighed lightly, "I've never seen a princess when I'm so big." ”
