The small town of Sioux City.

Through interviews and consultations with the locals, Gu Hanyi and Mo Yan found the mountain forest where Gu Hanyi's mother was buried.

After walking for about half an hour, the originally open boundary became denser and denser, Gu Hanyi looked at the surrounding environment full of dense woods, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Mo Yan on the side, "Are you sure it's here?" How is it like the deep mountains and old forests, let alone the grave, you can't even see a ghost. ”

Mo Yan looked up, touched the back of his head and began to question his judgment, "It should be here!" ”

Gu Hanyi's face sank suddenly, what should it be? That's uncertain! For the first time, he seriously doubted Mo Yan's ability to do things.

"You'd better be sure you're on the right path, or you'll have to wait for a long vacation when you go back!" Gu Hanyi looked at Mo Yan and said lightly.

Mo Yan pursed his lips and thought to himself, I wish I had a long vacation, he hadn't taken a vacation for a long time.

"Boss, look." Suddenly, Mo Yan saw a tombstone overgrown with weeds in front of him.

Gu Hanyi's heart tightened, and he followed the direction of Mo Yan's finger to look at it, and it was really a white tombstone.

The two of them picked up the weeds at their feet and walked quickly to the front, Gu Hanyi picked up the weeds next to the tombstone, on which was a red inscription, engraved with Xiao Xiao's name, and a black and white photo, the person in the photo had the same appearance as his mother.

Gu Hanyi's heart was turbulent, but he didn't expect that more than 20 years later, seeing his mother again would actually be in front of her tombstone.

"Dig up the urn." Gu Hanyi said to Mo Yan next to him.

Mo Yan opened the cloth bag he was carrying. A shovel was taken out of it.

Gu Hanyi took off the outer part of his body, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the shovel to prepare to excavate, Mo Yan hesitated to stop him: "BOSS, it doesn't seem good for me to dig a grave like this!" Why don't you ask a mage to get it tomorrow and dig it again? ”

Gu Hanyi glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Superstition, dig it up quickly, you have to rush back today." ”

Mo Yan looked at the tombstone in front of him and swallowed and spit, took off his coat, picked up a shovel and excavated.

The two of you shoveled and I shoveled, and soon dug a big pit, the noon sun was very hot, and after a while, the two of them were sweating, Gu Hanyi looked at the mound that was gradually being dug up, and sat on the mound with a tired ass.

He took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and threw it to Mo Yan and said, "Drink saliva and dig again!" ”

Mo Yan caught the mineral water thrown over with a wave of his hand, he raised his hand and wiped the sweat with the clean clothes on his elbows, and drank most of the bottle without caring about the stains on his hands.

Gu Hanyi looked at the black and white photo on the tombstone, and his mood was sad or happy, sad that his mother was miserable when she died, and was still in such a desolate situation after her death, and happy that now he finally found her and could take her back to let her soul rest in peace.

Gu Hanyi rested for a while, then continued to pick up the shovel and began to dig.

Soon a black earthen pot appeared in front of their eyes, Gu Hanyi excitedly stepped forward to pick up the soil around the earthen pot with his hands, and carefully took the earthen pot out of the soil.

He pried open the sealed lid on the top of the earthen jar, which contained a pile of powder similar to black soil, Mo Yan stepped forward to take a look, it was really the ashes after precipitation, he looked at the messy graveyard dug by them in front of him, and instantly his heart was furious.

Mo Yan urged: "BOSS, let's go!" ”

Gu Hanyi glanced at him, and said unhurriedly to break his mind: "What? Are you still scared? ”

Mo Yan stopped talking, but from his expression, it could be seen that he was really afraid, Gu Hanyi hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and squinted at him: "I didn't expect you to have such a timid time." ”

Mo Yan was speechless, there are a few people who are not afraid of this kind of thing, that is, he Gu Hanyi is not afraid, and besides, it is his relatives and not his, thinking about it, he walked to the tombstone and closed his eyes and prayed: "Don't blame us!" We had to do it as a last resort, and we were going to take you back. ”

Gu Hanyi sneered, then took out a blue and white porcelain style jar from his backpack, he carried the earthen jar and poured all the ashes inside into the new jar, and then wrapped it in a white cloth and put it in the backpack.

He pushed Mo Yan with his elbow and said, "Let's go!" ”

Mo Yan suddenly opened his eyes and bent down to pick up the tools on the ground, Gu Hanyi stopped him: "Don't want these broken things." ”

Mo Yan dropped the shovel in his hand, took his coat and followed Gu Hanyi's steps back the way he came.

After walking for half an hour, Gu Hanyi looked at the familiar scenes around him, and he said to Mo Yan: "Did you just walk this road?" ”

Mo Yan observed, nodded and said, "It's been here!" Are we lost? ”

Gu Hanyi frowned, because they didn't bring food at this time, the two of them were already hungry and a little tired, and now they were lost again, both of them couldn't help but be a little worried.

At that moment, there was a sound in the woods, like the sound of someone walking between the trees.

Mo Yan looked at Kang Gu Hanyi vigilantly and asked, "BOSS, how can there be anyone on this mountain?!" ”

Gu Hanyi quieted down and listened carefully to the sound, how could there be more than three people in this movement, there would be no one on this desolate mountain, besides, these people's movements seemed to be very fast, and they were coming in their direction, recalling yesterday's shooting, Gu Hanyi's heart tightened, could it be that Lu Yibai sent someone to chase and kill him in this wood.

He had a bad premonition, and whispered to Mo Yan: "Looking for cover from the bushes, maybe it is someone sent by Lu Yibai, we must be cautious." ”

Mo Yan frowned, took out a silver pistol from his bag, handed it to Gu Hanyi and said, "BOSS, this gun is what I usually take for self-defense, you take it." ”

Gu Hanyi looked at the silver pistol, took the gun in his hand with a grim expression and said, "If anything happens, don't act rashly without my order." ”

Mo Yan nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Gu Hanyi gave Mo Yan a look, motioning him to hide in the bushes over there.

The two of them hid in the bushes, quietly listening to the sound of getting closer.

It was almost dusk, and the footsteps in the woods were getting closer and closer, and sure enough, three stout men in black appeared in front of them.

A man who walked to the front said, "I just heard a sound coming from here, why didn't I hear a sound after walking for a long time?" ”

Another bald man trembled and said, "It can't be that I have encountered some wild beasts!" ”

A burly man took out the black pistol in his hand and said with a ruthless face: "Look at your cowardice, we have a robbery in our hands, what are you afraid of!" ”

Gu Hanyi's narrow phoenix eyes squinted slightly and looked at the three black-clothed people in front of him, they now have a pistol in their hands, if they really fight, I am afraid they have no chance of winning.

At this time, Mo Yan gestured to Gu Hanyi, he meant to go out and lure the three people away, and then let Gu Hanyi leave.

Gu Hanyi looked at him sharply and shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.

The bald man said, "Brothers, search for me, if we can't complete the task today, we will all be punished when we go back." ”

The other two nodded and then searched separately, Gu Hanyi gestured to Mo Yan, signaling him to go out to the other side, and finally gathered here in separate actions.

Mo Yan nodded, Gu Hanyi grabbed Mo Yan, handed him the snatch in his hand, and then took out a Swiss Army knife from his backpack.

Mo Yan didn't speak, he snatched the Swiss Army knife from Gu Hanyi's hand and quickly ran out of it.

Gu Hanyi gritted his teeth and looked at Mo Yan's back, and scolded hatefully: "Reckless." ”

His marksmanship is not as accurate as Mo Yan's, and he is good at close-range combat, which is easier to use with a knife.

However, Mo Yan didn't listen to his instructions, and he was very annoyed about it.

Mo Yan rushed out of the grass, and the two who hadn't gone far immediately turned their heads to look this way.

Mo Yan hid behind the trunk of the tree and waited for the two to come over.

As expected, the two people really turned back to the same place, one of the thin men in black walked behind the other man in black, he looked around, just walked in front of a thick tree trunk, Mo Yan aimed at the opportunity and tightly strangled his neck with his hand, the man in black struggled but his face turned cyanotic and purple due to lack of oxygen, he was still dying, Mo Yan quickly took out a Swiss army knife and cut off his arteries.

The man in black's arterial blood suddenly gushed out, and the blood flowed to the ground, and when the burly man in black turned around, he saw his companion lying in a pool of blood, and he immediately ran to him, his hand on his nose and no longer breathing.

He looked at his dead companion in horror, because he was afraid of sitting on the ground, Mo Yan quickly appeared behind him, and was about to take out a knife to attack him, but the burly man in black suddenly turned around and found him, he picked up the pistol from the ground in a panic and sat on the ground and shot at Mo Yan, Mo Yan quickly dodged.

At this time, Gu Hanyi had already aimed at the black-clothed man on the ground in the grass, and at the moment when Mo Yan dodged away, he pressed the wrench. I only heard a sound of "boom~", and the man in black was hit in the forehead, and he fell to the ground with a gun.

Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the tacit understanding between the two just now, I'm afraid he would have suffered.

The man in black on the other side heard the scramble, so he quickly turned his head and looked alertly at the place where the gunshots rang out.

He thought to himself that it was not their companions who had discovered the target, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to return, and Mo Yan and Gu Hanyi from the time once again hid in the grass, waiting for another person to appear.

Sure enough, after a while, there was movement in the bushes, and the man in black looked around with a panicked and nervous forehead, and when he found the two companions lying on the ground, he ran away in fright, and Gu Hanyi aimed at his calf with a shot when he saw this.

Boom~

The man in black immediately fell to his knees, unable to move at all.

Gu Hanyi shot another shot at his gun-holding hand, and the man in black lay on the ground and screamed arrogantly.

Mo Yan looked at Gu Hanyi and praised: "BOSS, your marksmanship has improved a lot!" ”

The corners of Gu Hanyi's lips outlined an evil arc, and the two came out of the grass and walked in front of the man in black.

Mo Yan picked up his pistol from the ground and pointed it at his head, "Say, who sent you?" ”

The man in black was instantly frightened, and he said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Lu, Lu Yibai sent us." ”

Gu Hanyi squatted down, stared at his face with cold eyes, and said coldly, "How many of you are there?" ”

"Just the three of us!"

"How many are there?"

"There really are only three!"

Gu Hanyi motioned to Mo Yan, and Mo Yan removed the gun against his head.

Gu Hanyi got up and looked at the man in black condescendingly, and said to Mo Yan: "Go, let him fend for himself here." ”

A cruel smile crossed the corner of Mo Yan's mouth, and then the two of them walked down the mountain with the confiscated gun.

The man in black cried out on the spot, "Don't leave me here! Please, shoot me with one shot......"

Gu Hanyi left without looking back.

After walking around the woods for a long time, Gu Hanyi determined the direction by judging the distribution of the dense trees, and soon they walked out of the dense woods.

By the time they reached the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark, and they left the wooded area in the car parked at the bottom of the mountain.
