Bai Xiaoqiu and Luo Hetu were stunned by the old man's words, and thought: There are ten buckets of appearance in this world, how can our brothers and sons sum up account for eight buckets, no matter how they are, they will not be so unpopular

After some communication, the two of them understood what was going on, the current situation in Red Lotus City was somewhat similar to the previous Sunset City, a large number of foreign hunters poured in, and the inns in the city were full, and even the guest rooms reserved by the Hunters' Guild were also crowded, and many hunters had no choice but to stay in the people's homes, although they paid, but it also caused a certain amount of trouble to the lives of the residents, and the residents could also be described as painful and happy during this timenet.

Bai Xiaoqiu and the others were able to find the inn yesterday, thanks to Luohe Tuluo's family background is solid enough, and they forcibly booked a few VIP suites, which avoided the tragic fate of sleeping on the streets.

Back to business, after the old man knew that Bai Xiaoqiu and the two came to him to ask questions in order to solve those two tasks, he couldn't help but blush slightly, and while apologizing, he introduced the two of them into the room, poured tea and poured water politely, and then said: "If you want to talk about the mess in our area, you have to start from ten days ago."

There was nothing abnormal about the sky in those days, as usual, it was hot to death, but my wife suddenly suffered from a cold. The old man looked up and gestured to the house, and he could vaguely hear an old woman's cough, "Ordinary wind and cold will not come so fiercely, I think this disease is strange, I am worried about what kind of plague, I didn't even do the afternoon farm work and took the old woman to the city to see the doctor." But I didn't think that even the doctor Zhang couldn't see what the specific illness was, only that this symptom was caused by the excessive yin qi in the body and the lack of yang qi, and there was no way to treat it, so it could only be slowly regulated by medicine

This is actually normal, after all, my wife is old, her body is weak, and it is not uncommon for her to accidentally get cold at night and get any strange diseases. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, our whole family contracted this strange disease, and within a few days, other farmers in the vicinity were also infected with this strange disease one after another. ”

Speaking of which. Bai Xiaoqiu couldn't help but look at the old man opposite, and found that although his voice was loud, his face was a little pale, and it was difficult to hide his sick face.

The old man continued: "Many people are worried that it is a contagious disease. I have been to the doctor many times, but I can't see what kind of illness it is, and I can only be sure that this is definitely not an infectious disease. Later, the doctor saw more patients, and finally summed up a rule - that is, the weaker the body, the more likely people are to suffer from this strange disease, and the worse the body, the more severe the disease. If the body is very tough, it can even be immune to this strange disease. ”

Bai Xiaoqiu had already expected what he said, so after he finished speaking, Bai Xiaoqiu asked again: "Then old man, have you seen any abnormal people or abnormal phenomena in the recent period?" ”

The old man touched his chin and thought for a long time, and replied: "Abnormal people, there are a lot of hunters coming and going these days, but I really don't have any impression of being particularly abnormal." One of the anomalies is that we have recently lost a lot of livestock here, every few days, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Yes, this is equivalent to saying nothing, Bai Xiaoqiu shook his head secretly, and asked again: "Why don't you build a house, let's take a look around your house?" Maybe you can find some clues. ”

For Bai Xiaoqiu's request. The old man was not surprised at all, and simply nodded in agreement.

So the two of them cautiously walked around the room, and the lady in the room was resting, and the two of them were still very discerning.

The result, of course, was nothing. This is not surprising, after all, more than ten days have passed, and the perpetrators are a notorious "criminal group", if they can still find clues, the red dragon should have been wiped out by the Hunter Guild eight hundred times

Although there were no clues, the description of the parties also made the story much clearer, and the two of them had already been mentally prepared, and after chatting with the old man for a few words, Bai Xiaoqiu and Luo Hetu got up to say goodbye. Go in the direction of the second house.

Halfway through, Luo Hetu suddenly said: "The yin qi of the old man's family is already very light, and the group of people in the Red Dragons should not have approached there recently." ”

Bai Xiaoqiu nodded, recalled for a while, and said, "There should be no problem with their family." The look is normal, the remarks before and after are also consistent, there is no contradiction, let's go to the next one. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although this is just a settlement area established by relying on Red Lotus City, in fact, the area of this area is not small, fortunately, the population is not too large, and Bai Xiaoqiu and they didn't spend much time running around.

The subsequent investigation was not smooth. After investigating one household at a time, nearly half of the families were soon questioned, but they didn't even find any clues, which made Luohetu a little anxious.

When Luohetu was in a hurry, Bai Xiaoqiu was very calm, he seemed to be a little tired from running around, he was sitting on a big stone on the side of the road, holding a paper in his hand and sketching and didn't know what he was writing.

As soon as Luo Hetu saw Bai Xiaoqiu's heartless appearance, he felt angry, slapped Bai Xiaoqiu on the back and shouted: "I see that you are quite idle!" I can tell you, our operation is not hidden, if we can't find out the clues, but the red dragon finds out our whereabouts, then it will be even more difficult to find them again! We don't have any clues at all, and you still have the leisure to draw there?! ”

Bai Xiaoqiu was not annoyed, raised the paper in his hand and replied: "Don't worry, you must know that sometimes no clue itself is a clue." If you think about it, there are not many people around here, there are dozens of households, we have just asked so many people, but none of them have ever seen any characters, and the number of birds and animals will not be less than ten every time they come out to steal poultry and livestock, and the fact that they can still be found with so many animals proves that they are very particular about the route of action for each theft, according to the location and narrative of the previous visit to the Wèn family, I have drawn a few possible road maps, you can come and take a look" (to be continued.) )xh118
