Chapter 177: Negotiation with the Old Man
The closer the farm is to the shoreline, the more rainfall will fall. So the eastern part of the farm bought by the Chinese is full of green grass.
If you stand on the hillside, you can clearly see the situation more than a dozen kilometers away
There are a large number of black cows on it, gnawing freely.
Occasionally, ducks walk by, and there is a natural pond in the distance. However, when Luo Yuanhao and the others went to knock on the door, they found that none of the family was at home.
Zhang Wei said: "People here are used to traveling to other places on holidays. And so they may be. ”
The wayfinding ability of the hound is very strong, and if a person gets lost, the dog will not either. If there is any indication that the dog has indeed entered the area, then there is nothing to be suspicious about.
Now that this is the case, they can't afford to wait any longer, so they have to go to the Hopkins family farm first.
When Luo Yuanhao was the first to nod in agreement, the other two immediately agreed.
Because of the detour, they went to the house in the afternoon, according to the map of the distribution of nearby farms.
The area has a very remote feeling, no one can see but themselves, and livestock are very scarce. No internet, no electricity, no people......
Luo Yuanhao had already seen the building, but he had not felt any danger. The reason why he dared to come even though he knew he was invincible was because of the high-powered shotgun that Lutai had lent and could penetrate the bison's skull. As long as it is used properly, there is no fear of flying zombies of that level.
They did not dare to let their guard down all the way, and came to the door of the house and knocked on the door.
The sound of snoring inside immediately stopped, as if it was taking a nap. The people inside tossed for a while before an old man with sparse gray hair and lost his teeth came out. This old man still has a pipe in his mouth, and his clothes are draped diagonally over his shoulders, and he looks like an old farmer who went to the field in my country in the 80s.
His cloudy gaze scanned back and forth at a few yellow men, one arm lazily propped up on the door frame, maintaining the grace and discreet of an old man. An incredulous expression on his face: "You are ......"
Zhang Wei stepped forward, bent down humbly and said, "Old man, we are here to find our hounds. Our hounds are chasing a few big kangaroos and we have a cap of 10. But the hound, after chasing you to your farm, disappears. So we took the liberty to visit. ”
The old man didn't know if he was not quick thinking, or if he couldn't understand Zhang Wei's Chinese English, so he paused for a while before replying, "Oh, have you found it now?" ”
"Not yet, we want your help. Can you tell us where the three hounds might disappear? ”
"Three hounds?" The old man asked again.
Zhang Wei nodded: "You know, we heard some rumors that are not very good, and we are very worried about something unknown that has hurt our hounds. Because one of the hounds is very valuable, I hope it will be able to return home safely. ”
"Uh-huh, well, okay. Ah—" The old man agreed, yawning again. "How can you help with this? Shotguns? ”
Zhang Wei realized that his expression was too vague, and this unresponsive old man could no longer detect his true intentions, so he thought about it and said:
"Sir, this young man behind me is a mysterious oriental warlock, he said that he discovered that there is an abnormal energy in your farm, and it is very likely that this abnormal energy attracts the hounds to fall into the 'trap'."
Hearing this, the old man's snow-white eyebrows were no longer wrinkled, and the folded old face was also stretched. Eyes began to search for the "Warlock".
He hesitated and looked at it for a long time, his face seemed to be suspicious, and it seemed that he couldn't see clearly. In short, he watched it for a long time.
Then he turned and walked into the house, picked up an old-fashioned shotgun, and did a basic check, and his movements were crisp and clean, and it seemed that it was an old friend with whom he had often interacted.
He held a gun, held it up, and suddenly aimed at Luo Yuanhao and the three of them!
"Click", the bullet is loaded!
Just when the three of them were taken aback, the old man suddenly put away his gun, smiled, and spoke sharply: "Let's go, I'll take you to have a look." I haven't had a problem in three or four years......"
The second half of the old man's sentence was his unconscious muttering, which was heard by Zhang Wei, but he was secretly frightened. It seems that this old monster of the Hopkins family is really likely to be raised by their family as rumored.
The old man took Luo Yuanhao and the three of them to the horse pen of the farm. Next door to the horse pen, there is a poorly built cattle pen, and further on there is a thatched hut built of wooden stakes.
The old man held a gun in one hand and slowly opened the door with the other. The old man looked at it slightly, but found nothing.
Luo Yuanhao immediately glanced through the crack in the door, but he couldn't see anything inside. Only two wooden stakes were visible, with chains on them. This structure is reminiscent of a private prison cell.
The old man yawned again, as if he hadn't slept enough, and then he pushed the door open completely, and there was really nothing inside.
Luo Yuanhao saw that the old man's face was slightly surprised, and then the old man stepped forward and grabbed the iron chain on the ground to observe, it looked like it had been forcibly twisted and broken! The chain feels like it's being broken.
The old man's face became even more ugly, he yawned again, and then seemed to remember something, and said a lot to Luo Yuanhao, but Luo Yuanhao didn't understand anything, so he looked at Zhang Wei for help: "What did he say?" ”
"Probably gone. He didn't know where he had gone. Because this guy has never taken the initiative to break free from the shackles, he suspects that his wife has been sick for the past few days and has not been fed for a long time. After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he seemed to be infected by the old man, and he also yawned.
Then Zhang Wei continued, "The old man thinks that you are a warlock from the East, and you may have some way to find her." That's right, he used this 'she', and most of the rumors we heard were true. ”
After Zhang Wei finished explaining, the old man continued to speak. Zhang Wei translated: "The old man said, if you can, please try not to hurt her." Most of the time, she is very docile. ”
"Meek? Are you sure you got it right? Luo Yuanhao was puzzled, saw Zhang Wei nodded, and asked, "A docile old monster?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Wei nodded again.
Luo Yuanhao said: "Then you ask him, ask his aunt where she usually moves." Let him take us to find it. ”
Zhang Wei quickly asked the answer: "Her aunt hasn't left here for more than ten years, since the couple had a bad leg. ”
"And before?" Luo Yuanhao asked again. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
