"How's it going? Did Hu Li give you the jade pendant? Liu Xing asked Ishikawa Ling.

Ishikawa Ling nodded, took out the jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xing, "Hu Li has promised to help us make beekeepers' clothes, but we still need to solve the material problem ourselves, because Hu Li doesn't have leather prepared there, after all, Hu Li's clothing store is a place where dog meat is sold with a sheep's head." ”

Liu Xing thought for a while, and said with some confusion: "This is a bit troublesome, I remember that there is really no place in Panlong Town that sells leather." ”

Ishikawa Ling shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I can only ask Hu Cang for this question, but I think there should be leather sellers in Panlong Town, or animal fur sellers, after all, according to Hu Cang, there are still many animals in the mountains near Panlong Town, so maybe there are hunters in Panlong Town." ”

Liu Xing nodded and said, "Then let's go back quickly, and try to get the leather and hand it over to Hu Li before it gets dark today." ”

Ishikawa Ling asked with some curiosity at this time: "Sect Master, I see that you came out of the teahouse, so the Sect Leader should go to woo Xiao Mochen, so what is the situation?" ”

Liu Xing shook his head helplessly, and said: "It can only be said that there are good and bad, the good thing is that he persuaded Xiao Mochen to accept the reality and guaranteed that if we kill Xiao Dafu, Xiao Mochen will not have a grudge against us; What's bad is that Xiao Mochen doesn't plan to help us, follow us and act together, etc., I seem to have done something wrong... ”

Liu Xing frowned, and then he remembered a question, that is, he seemed to be a little too "upright" when he just left, so he hadn't gotten Xiao Mochen's answer about the frequency and stay time of Xiao Dafu's Gu envoy Chaxi.

This mistake is a bit big, after all, the most important purpose of my trip to find Xiao Mochen is to get the answer to that question.

Liu Xing couldn't help but touch the back of his head, and began to recall what he was thinking at the time, and he would choose to leave directly.

Liu Xing thought about it, and finally decided not to go to Xiao Mochen to continue to ask for answers, after all, he was "brushing his sleeves away" just now, and he didn't give Xiao Mochen face, and then he ran back to ask questions now, which was a bit too embarrassing.

Anyway, in the current situation, there is no need to be in such a hurry to get an answer.

So, Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling returned to Hu Cang's house together.

At this time, Hu Cang had already prepared a table of meals, and was chatting and laughing with Zhang Jingxu and others, waiting for the return of Liu Xing and others by the way.

Seeing Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling coming back, Zhang Jingxu asked, "What is the situation on both sides of you?" But looking at the way you look, classmate Meteor, I'm afraid the situation on Xiao Mochen's side is a little unoptimistic. ”

Liu Xing nodded, and said helplessly: "You can see it, although Xiao Mochen is willing to accept the fact that we may kill Xiao Dafu, but Xiao Mochen is not willing to cooperate with us to attack the Gu Envoy Chaxi, this is most likely because Xiao Mochen is afraid that he will kill Xiao Dafu with his own hands, or Xiao Mochen is unwilling to kill anyone, as for the frequency and stay time of those people who are controlled by the Gu Envoy Chaxi, Xiao Mochen still needs to recall, So I'm going to go to Xiao Mochen again tomorrow. ”

Liu Xing didn't want to admit that his brain was pumping, and he forgot to ask Xiao Mochen such an important question, so Liu Xing decided to "change" an explanation.

At this time, Hu Cang said with a smile: "This is indeed Xiao Mochen's style, let me just say this, Xiao Mochen has been a good child who abides by the law since he was a child, to be precise, because Xiao Mochen has been very obedient to his mother's teachings since he was a child, and he doesn't dare to do any bad things, and those addicts who are controlled by Gu Dian Chaxi are still human beings in the final analysis, so Xiao Mochen is naturally not willing to kill people." ”

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Then what about you, Mr. Hu Cang, I think Mr. Hu Cang should be willing to join us." ”

Since Hu Cang is sitting here now, and he is still saying such things, Liu Xing estimates that Hu Cang should choose to join his group.

Sure enough.

Hu Cang smiled, nodded and said: "That's right, I am naturally willing to join you, after all, I am not as good as Xiao Mochen, if necessary, I will still choose to kill, not to mention that I have killed Zhong Rensan now, and this can be regarded as a favor owed to you." ”

Liu Xing nodded thoughtfully, and secretly said in his heart that now according to Hu Cang's current statement, then it is completely correct for his group to make the choice not to stop Hu Cang from killing Zhong Rensan, if his group had stopped Hu Cang at that time, then the current Hu Cang should not have chosen to join his group.

It seems that the choice of mods this time is really interlocking.

At this time, Ishikawa Ling asked Hu Cang, "Mr. Hu Cang, is there any place where I can get leather or fur in Panlong Town?" ”

Hu Cang frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "Leather and fur, there are really few in Panlong Town, after all, Panlong Town is relatively close to Rongcheng, so people often come to Panlong Town to set up stalls to sell clothes and shoes on every day, because these clothes and shoes are very cheap and of good quality, so the original tailor shops and shoemaker shops in Panlong Town have closed more than ten years ago. ”

"Then are there any hunters in Panlong Town, after all, aren't there a lot of wild things on the mountains around Panlong Town!" Ling Ishikawa continued to ask.

Hu Cang shook his head and said: "If it was more than ten years ago, there were indeed a lot of hunters in Panlong Town, because there were many wild boars and wolves in the mountains around Panlong Town, but you must know that those hunters back then chose to hunt in order to survive, because hunting is a very dangerous activity, and there were hunters dying in Panlong Town almost every year at that time, so after the living conditions have improved in the past ten years, basically all the hunters in Panlong Town have chosen to change jobs. After all, no one wants to die suddenly on the mountain that day, so there are no hunters in Panlong Town now. ”

Ishikawa Ling was still a little unwilling, pointed to the shotgun in the corner of the wall and said: "Mr. Hu Cang, these two shotguns are very well maintained, so I think the owner of these two shotguns should have been Orion before, so he should still have some fur at home, right?" ”

Hu Cang shook his head with a smile and said: "Mr. Ishikawa Ling, you guessed right, the owner of these two shotguns was indeed a hunter before, but he broke his leg because he was attacked by a wild boar when he went up the mountain to hunt more than ten years ago, so he has been transferred to a fisherman very early, and as for the furs in his house, he has long been sold out, after all, he needed a lot of medical expenses at that time." ”

Liu Xing frowned, there seems to be something wrong with the current situation, is it true that Panlong Town can't find a sufficient amount of leather or fur?

At this moment, Hu Cang suddenly patted his thigh and said: "By the way, why did I almost forget about this matter, Xiao Mochen's grandfather was one of the best hunters in Panlong Town, I also went to Xiao Mochen's grandfather's house to play when I was a child, and I saw a lot of animal furs, and the most important thing is that Xiao Mochen's grandfather knew what his son Xiao Dafu was, so he broke off the father-son relationship with Xiao Dafu very early, but Xiao Mochen's grandfather still has a very good relationship with Xiao Mochen." ”

"So when Xiao Mochen's grandfather died, he left all the inheritance to Xiao Mochen, including the furs of that large number of animals, and Xiao Dafu had also left Panlong Town at that time, so those furs should still be in Xiao Mochen's hands, but I'm not sure if Xiao Mochen sold these furs, so Mr. Ishikawa Ling, if you want to try your luck, you can go to Xiao Mochen and have a good chat, I think those furs should still be in Xiao Mochen's hands, Because if Xiao Mochen had sold those furs, his life in those years would not have been so miserable. ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this matter to be related to Xiao Mochen again, so it seems that Xiao Mochen is the real protagonist in this mod.

In order to be responsible for what he just said, Liu Xing said without hesitation: "Then leave this matter to me to be responsible, and I will go to Xiao Mochen after eating." ”

Looking at Liu Xing, who volunteered, Ishikawa Ling and the others didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.

Liu Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After talking about these more important things, Liu Xing and the others chatted while eating, chatting about some things that were not available.

After eating, Liu Xing set off again and came to Xiao Mochen's teahouse, and at this time, Xiao Mochen was having dinner with a pale-faced elderly woman.

Liu Xing knew that this elderly woman should be Xiao Mochen's mother.

However, when his group mentioned that there were no other women in Panlong Town except for Hu Li and the proprietress of the black Internet café, Xiao Mochen also agreed with this statement, and Xiao Mochen should have known that his mother was still in Panlong Town at that time.

So, why did Xiao Mochen lie?

While thinking about it, Liu Xing subconsciously observed Xiao Mochen's mother, after all, Liu Xing is a doctor.

Liu Xing noticed at first glance that something was wrong with Xiao Mochen's mother's situation, because although Xiao Mochen's mother's face was very pale, it was not that sickly pale.

If I had to describe it, Liu Xing only thought of one word - zombies.

Liu Xing frowned, and it instantly became clear in his heart that Xiao Mochen's mother had probably accepted Graki's transformation.

If that's the case ...

"Mr. Meteor, why are you here again?"

Xiao Mochen interrupted Liu Xing's thoughts.

Liu Xing hurriedly adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "Here's the thing, I heard from Hu Cang that Xiao Mochen has some animal skins here, so can you sell those animal skins to us." ”

Xiao Mochen raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and pondered.

As for Xiao Mochen's mother, she was trembling and wanted to go upstairs at this time.

Liu Xing had a flash of inspiration and stepped forward to help Xiao Mochen's mother.

As Liu Xing expected, as soon as Xiao Mochen saw that Liu Xing wanted to get close to his mother, he immediately said, "Wait! ”

Liu Xing stopped, pretended to be dazed, and said, "Uh, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Mochen realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly said with a smirk: "Mr. Meteor, you may not know that my mother has a somewhat stubborn temper and doesn't like others to treat her as a patient, so Mr. Meteor, you don't have to help my mother." ”

Liu Xing nodded and said, "I see, this is my mistake." ”

Xiao Mochen shook his head, pointed to the mahjong table next to him and said, "No, no, no, I know that Mr. Meteor has good intentions, so the mistake is that I didn't tell Mr. Meteor in advance, okay, Mr. Meteor, let's sit and talk." ”

Liu Xing and Xiao Mochen sat down opposite each other and continued: "Then let's continue to talk about the topic just now, Xiao Mochen, do you still have any furs in your hands that can be sold to us?" ”

Xiao Mochen nodded and said, "Yes, there is, but these furs are still in my grandfather's house, so if you need them, I will bring them to you tomorrow, of course, I will give them to you, after all, talking about money hurts feelings." ”

Since Xiao Mochen said so, Liu Xing naturally wouldn't be polite, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Xiao Mochen first, but then again, I also want to ask Xiao Mochen how many days does your father go to Gu Envoy Chaxi, and then how long does it take to go each time?" ”

Xiao Mochen raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for more than half a minute, he spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, my father goes to Gu Envoy Chaxi about once a week, and then stays at Gu Envoy Chaxi for about two or three hours each time." ”

Liu Xing nodded, got up and said, "OK, thank you Xiao Mochen for your help, I still have something to do at this time, so I'll go back first." ”

"Well, go all the way." Xiao Mochen said with a smile.

After leaving the teahouse, Liu Xing returned to Hu Cang's house non-stop.

Now, Liu Xing has an almost conjecture about whether Xiao Mochen's mother has accepted Gracchi's transformation.

If Xiao Mochen's mother has accepted Graki's transformation, then Liu Xing can be sure that Xiao Mochen is a second or fifth boy, and Graki was brought to Panlong Town by Xiao Mochen.

Because the point in time that Panlong Town is in now must have been before Graki appeared in Panlong Town, this proves that before Graki appeared in Panlong Town, Xiao Mochen's mother had been transformed by Gracchi.

So combined with the words that Xiao Mochen and Hu Cang said before, Liu Xing roughly speculated what happened - in order to save Xiao Dafu, Xiao Mochen spent his mother's life-saving money, so Xiao Mochen's mother was dying because she couldn't get treatment, at this time, Xiao Mochen learned about Gracchi's existence by chance, and got in touch with Gracchi, and finally Xiao Mochen paid a certain price. Let his mother accept Gracchi's conversion.

And the price Xiao Mochen paid is likely to be to betray the entire Panlong Town.
