Chapter 0173: Secrets in the Mountains
After half an hour and three fierce battles, Su Ge lost the third game by a slight margin of two points, and reluctantly handed over the banknote in his hand.
Victory is happy, but after victory, the reality is still the same, and you have to face it.
The young man was silent for a moment after taking the banknote, and suddenly began to cry silently, completely lacking the posture of a victor.
Su Ge looked at him and sighed: "I heard about you, the problem of this matter is not you, you have to be strong." β
The young man wiped the tears from his face and whispered, "No, it was because I was incompetent, and I couldn't find my child that left me." β
Su Ge ordered him a glass of wine at this time, and asked casually, "Aren't there a lot of troops here?"
The young man drank the large glass of wine and said in a low voice, "They, since the beginning of the civil war, these guys have been walking around that mountain all day long, saying that it is to prevent thieves from smuggling across the border in the mountain range and destabilizing the country. How can they have time to care about the lives and deaths of us civilians?"
Su Ge saw that the young man had already opened his chatterbox, and then asked: "My purpose this time is to go to the capital to find some suppliers of aquatic products, I see that you are so calm here, is the battle over there in the capital city over?"
After hearing this, the young man had a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth: "It's over, it's a good idea, the situation on the other side of the capital will not end, and now there is no possibility of reconciliation on either side, unless one side falls first, it will not end." β
"It's really strange that your country is fighting like this, and you are still so peaceful here, even the soldiers are not in a hurry, and they have time to drink here. Suge muttered under his breath.
The three soldiers hadn't left yet, and Suge didn't want to draw their attention.
The young man grabbed Su Ge's collar, his eyes were confused, and he admonished: "For the sake of your good poker skills, I will give you a piece of advice, stay away from those soldiers......"
The young man seemed to have drunk too much at this time, and he leaned on the table and said intermittently: "I feel that my son is missing...... It seems that they have something to do with ...... The brutes ......"
Hearing these words, Suge was sure that there was indeed something wrong with these soldiers.
"Guarding the mountains, is it even because they want to protect something in the mountains?" said Suge, his eyes swept over the three of them, and the young man who had fallen asleep drank from the others.
The harsher the environment, the more optimistic people are, and the people of the Guinness Kingdom, where the winter is as cold as Bain City, are very enthusiastic.
Under the influence of alcohol, Suge easily mingled with them, but when Suge tried to get to know the situation more easily, he was suddenly rejected by indifference.
"Outlander, if you are a passing merchant we welcome you, but if you are one of those who don't care about it, we will expel you directly!" said the stout man just now, Jem.
After hearing this, Su Ge grinned as usual and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious." Don't worry, I'm a real merchant, and I'll leave here for the capital the day after tomorrow after tomorrow. β
Hearing this, the crowd nodded slightly, and continued the happy atmosphere.
Two hours later, Suge lay at the back of the tavern and vomited violently.
Then he gave himself a hypnosis and meditation motto, which can be regarded as curbing the vertigo.
Wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Su Ge turned his head to look at the mountains located on the east side of the town, his eyes flashed: "Guinness is not a big country, if someone really lays it out, it can easily spread the entire bureau all over the country." There was something unusual about the quiet, and the locals were tight-lipped about it, and only the drunken young man had said something useful. β
"Since the suspicions are all pointing there, let's go and take a look. With that, Suge picked up his cane and prepared to leave.
At this time, a voice suddenly remembered: "You're not a businessman, are you?"
Su Ge smiled and turned his head as usual, just in time to see the sad young man staring at him.
"Sir, do you have any questions, if not, I'll go back to the hotel. β
The young man's face was a little hesitant, and then he asked tentatively: "I know that you are interested in the internal situation of this country, and if you are willing to help me find my child, I am willing to share everything I know with you." β
Su Ge's heart moved, his eyes gradually sharpened on him, and he smiled: "I think we are very close to each other, are you interested in changing places to talk?"
"Yes. The young man nodded.
............
The hotel room where Suge is located.
Arrange the surroundings briefly, and sit opposite each other.
"Your insight is really good. Suge was the first to say.
The young man's haggard face showed a bitter smile: "I was a lawyer before. Oh, my name is Cody Huntington. β
"You can call me Suge. Suge said casually.
Cody asked, "So Mr. Suge, would you like to help me find my son?"
Suge didn't rush to answer, and sat down and said, "Mr. Huntington, you should know that all transactions need to be equal to each other, and I need what you know to see if it's worth it for me to risk finding your son." β
Cody squeezed his palms and asked in a low voice, "I know some of the situations in the mountains, and I feel that these situations have something to do with my son's disappearance, and you will feel interested." β
"Oh!? β
Cody raised his hand to the table and said with a hint of reminiscence on his face: "About two weeks ago, one morning I took my son to hunt in the mountains, and I was so excited to chase a deer that my son and I were separated for a while, and I hurried along the road to find him shivering behind two rocks. β
After a pause, Cody stared at Suge seriously and said, "He said he saw a group of dead people walking down the hillside and heading to the cave on the mountainside, with the damned soldiers on either side. β
"Dead man?" Suge was stunned.
Cody gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't believe it, and I came to that cave under his guidance. I didn't dare to get too close, but I saw a few black-robed men talking to the soldiers, and there was a creepy scream coming from the hole. I was terrified and hurried home with my son, and then ...... Then ......"
Cody's body trembled, his eyes filled with grief and fear.
"Then that night, my son said he went out to pee and never came back! β
As he spoke, Cody burst into tears again.
Needless to say, Cody also knew that his son was lost and couldn't be found, and it was useless to find the army, and the more the two of them quarreled, the more serious it became, and Cody showed some cowardice because of fear, and he was extremely disappointed with his wife, so he left him directly and went to seek refuge in others, hoping that others could find their children.
"Dead people, screams in the caves, men in black mixed with the army...... It seems that there are many problems on this peaceful border, and perhaps this is an important point in solving the current domestic situation. β
