Soon, the two of them came to a house again, like a copy of the old woman's house, and the house surrounded by trees still looked dilapidated and gloomy, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

At the door of the house, there was still an old woman, the only difference was that next to the old woman, there was an old man who kept smoking a dry cigarette while listening to the old woman's count.

Two people are obviously more popular than one person.

Sun Jiao didn't seem to be so scared anymore, and took the initiative to take a few steps forward: "Old man, is there a person named Xie Yang in the village?" ”

The door-to-door inquiry caught the attention of the two old men, who looked at each other, and one of them shook the cigarette ash on the sole of his shoe and said, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing the drama, the smile on Sun Jiao's face obviously increased: "We are Teacher Tang's students and Xie Yang's junior brothers. ”

"Teacher Tang?" The old man thought for a while: "It seems that a teacher Tang came to Xiaoyangzi a long time ago and persuaded him to continue studying." ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Tang has been here."

The old man nodded, glanced at the old woman next to him again, and said, "Xiao Yangzi is already dead, and he died not long after that Teacher Tang came. ”

Sun Jiao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian was inexplicably looked at, what do you look at me, I should look at you, it was you who said that Teacher Tang met Xie Yang not long ago.

Shaking his head depressedly, Ling Tian crossed over to Sun Jiao and looked at the old man with a puzzled face: "Old man, but Teacher Tang only met Xie Yang not long ago." ”

"I guess I made a mistake."

The old man lowered his head and began to fill the tobacco, but Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.

This old man is lying, and generally speaking, when he hears that someone has seen a dead person, he can't be so calm, and he doesn't even have the least doubt and curiosity.

But why did this old man say that?

Thinking of the old woman just now, he had a faint feeling that it seemed that the people here didn't want them to see Xie Yang.

At this moment, there was movement on the side path.

Ling Tian turned his head to look and saw a man who looked to be about 50 walking over with a large bundle of firewood on his back, and began to greet him from a distance.

"Second uncle, I put the firewood in the kitchen."

The old man glanced at Ling Tian and the others, stood up and walked towards the person: "Okay, okay, put the firewood room." ”

As he spoke, he walked over quickly, looking like he wanted to help.

As the visitor and the old man walked into the firewood room on the side, the old woman who had been sitting there also stood up and slowly walked into the firewood room.

Looking at the empty courtyard dam, Ling Tian was speechless.

What the hell is this?

"Sun Jiao, let's go, go to the next one and ask, Sun Jiao, Sun Jiao."

"Huh?"

After screaming a few times in a row, Sun Jiao suddenly responded with a sense of enlightenment, her face was full of confusion, and she didn't hear Ling Tian's words just now.

Ling Tian rolled his eyes and repeated, "What are you thinking?" Let's go, go to the next one and ask. ”

"Oh, oh." Sun Jiao agreed again and again, but her feet did not move, her eyes were still looking at the location of the firewood room, and she didn't know what to think.

"What's wrong?"

Ling Tian glanced curiously at the firewood room, and in the dark doorway, there were no figures of the three of them at all.

Sun Jiao retracted her gaze, thought for a while, and lowered her voice: "The person who picked firewood just now is so familiar." ”

"Familiar?"

"Well, very, very similar to Xie Yang, and Teacher Tang also said that when he saw Xie Yang again, Xie Yang looked even older than him, looking like an old dragon clock."

"Have you seen Xie Yang?"

"I've seen the photos."

Ling Tian pursed his lips and gestured with his eyes to the direction where the person came from.

"Let's go to the corner in front and wait, even if it's not Xie Yang, you can ask where Xie Yang is."

He didn't believe Sun Jiao's words, Xie Yang is now in his 30s at most, less than 40 years old, but the person just now said that he was 50 years old, or it was under the condition that he had carried so much firewood.

If he just saw people, even if he was 70 years old, Ling Tian felt that he would believe it.

But as he said, even if it's not, it doesn't matter, you can also ask Xie Yang's Xia Luo.

Walking around the corner, Ling Tian stopped, hiding his body beside a big tree and looking at the house just now.

The old man's reaction was too strange for him to behave like this.

After about ten minutes, the old woman who had finally entered walked out of the firewood room, and kept looking around as she walked, and saw that there were indeed no figures of Ling Tian and the others, so she greeted the firewood room.

Soon, the old man and the person who picked firewood just now walked out together, and along the way, the old man had a straight face, as if he was educating the firewood picker.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the old man, persuaded by the old woman, let go of the firewood pickers.

The firewood picker estimated that he was used to being scolded, and after bending down to thank him, he walked back slowly.

"Xie Yang."

Seeing the person picking firewood approaching, Ling Tian suddenly spoke, and the man subconsciously looked back at Ling Tian, as if he realized that his behavior was wrong, and quickly turned his head and continued to move forward.

I didn't expect him to be Xie Yang.

Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Xie Yang walking out for nearly ten meters, he reacted and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Xie Yang, wait."

"I'm not Xie Yang, you're looking for the wrong one."

"Mistaken?"

Ling Tian was about to speak, but Sun Jiao on the side squeezed his eyes at him, interrupted the conversation, and said, "The last time you met Teacher Tang, Teacher Tang took a photo, and you are Xie Yang." ”

Sun Jiao was just cheating on her identity, but Xie Yang didn't know, she stopped when she heard her words, and muttered to herself: "Tang, Mr. Tang, how can he take pictures." ”

The tone was very incomprehensible and depressed.

Seeing that the other party admitted his identity, Ling Tian naturally changed the topic: "Xie Yang, can we talk, don't worry, it won't be delayed for too long." ”

Xie Yang hesitated slightly, looked around vigilantly, and nodded, "Okay, you come with me." ”

Ling Tian and Sun Jiao glanced at each other, each other's faces were filled with a hint of joy, and they hurriedly followed Xie Yang's footsteps to the side of the path.

Just as he was turning the corner, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in the afterglow of Ling Tian's eyes, and when he turned his head to look, he didn't find anything, so he had to hurriedly follow the footsteps under Sun Jiao's urging.

When the figures of the three disappeared around the corner, just where Ling Tian had seen just now, a rickety figure walked out from behind a big tree, and it was the old woman that Ling Tian and the two had met for the first time.

The three of them didn't know that under the leadership of Xie Yang, they walked for about half an hour before they came to a secluded small waterhole and stopped.

The house has long been out of sight, and there is no trace of the path except for the weeds that they have trampled on.

Along the way, Ling Tian even wondered if Xie Yang wanted to find a secluded place to kill people.

Obviously, Xie Yang didn't have such an idea, he pointed to the smooth stone on the side: "You sit there." ”

After saying that, he sat down on the stone next to him, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with this place.

It's just, why go so far, isn't it just a matter of saying a few words?

Ling Tian's heart was full of doubts.
