Chapter Ninety-Eight: Time Stands Still

Hou Yu was arranged by the people of the village at the foot of the mountain in the south, next to the stream, and the scenery was good.

Walk quickly along the cobblestone path picked up from the creek. Someone greeted us in a friendly way, and we just smiled distantly, looking at the villagers, and there was always a feeling of being targeted. Especially the old women and the little girls who looked at us with wide eyes.

There are a lot of people in this creek, laundry and cooking, and the village uses the water from here.

Downstream of the creek is the home of the villager where Hou Yu temporarily lived.

Half of the space of a log cabin sits on the water, a bit like an ancient pavilion, but much more rudimentary.

When we arrived, Hou Yu was sitting on a wooden pier fishing on the steps of the door, he was the only one, and the host's family was not there.

"Ahem."

A light cough attracted Hou Yu's attention. As soon as he turned his head, we walked up the steps generously and stopped beside him.

"Why are you here?" Although the tour group is very low-key, but the presence is still strong, it is impossible for him not to notice.

Hou Yu frowned, put down the fishing rod in his hand, and spoke with a guard that he himself had not even noticed.

Brother Fengyu helped me sit down on the steps before turning around and looking at Hou Yu. He smiled habitually, gentlemanly and thoughtful, not offensive, but could not refuse.

"Something, there is no signal in the mountains, I asked you to borrow a satellite phone, I have a friend who said that he would come here together, but he was delayed a little on the way, so I want to make a call to ask, and then we can meet."

"You ......" Hou Yu moved his lips and immediately stopped, looking at Brother Fengyu tangledly.

Refusal? Of course not, it's just a wire transfer, wouldn't it be too strange to refuse? Anyway, look at it, it's going to be fine.

Hou Yu was silent for a moment, closed his eyes slightly, and finally looked impatient, "I know, you young masters, you don't have any preparations." โ€

Watching him turn around and go back to the house, I raised my head and cast a puzzled look at Brother Fengyu, but Brother Fengyu smiled and didn't speak.

In a few breaths, Hou Yu strode over with a black satellite phone.

"Now, hurry up."

After speaking, he sat on the wooden pier and looked at Brother Fengyu with his hands on his chest.

So, under Hou Yu's gaze, Brother Fengyu dialed the satellite phone. The phone rang for only three seconds before it was connected.

"Hello? Who? โ€

The sound of the satellite phone is not small, and everyone can hear the sound coming out. This is Liancheng's voice, a little cold and stiff.

"Hey, Liancheng, it's me." Brother Fengyu paused for a second before speaking.

"Wind and rain? Why don't you use your phone? Running out of power? Why can't you get in all the time? What about Ziyi? In an instant, he faded away from his initial estrangement.

"Don't worry, it's okay, there's no signal here." I saw the corners of Brother Fengyu's mouth twitch, and he answered a few questions selectively, "By the way, didn't Jiang Qin say that he wanted to be with us before?" What about them? Why hasn't it arrived yet, you call and ask, I can't remember his number. โ€

"......" There was silence on the phone for more than three seconds before Liancheng's unreal voice came, "Well, okay, I'll call and ask, you guys are going up the mountain to pay attention to safety, don't get cold, tell me the address, I'll let him go there and meet you." โ€

"Tour guide." When the words on the other side of the phone fell, Brother Fengyu looked back at Hou Yu with a smile.

"Baigu Mountain in the water valley of Nanyang, after arriving, follow the path like westward."

After speaking, Hou Yu turned his head and stopped talking.

"This is the location." Brother Fengyu continued to say into the satellite phone, "Okay, so be it." โ€

"Wait!" Liancheng's voice was a little louder, "Where's Ziyi?" โ€

"......," Fengyu glanced back at me, "here it is." "Finally handed me the phone.

When I answered the phone, Hou Yu glared at me, showing a painful expression.

Unaffected by his expression, I leaned the satellite phone to my ear, "Hey, Liancheng." โ€

"Well, how does Ziyi feel over there?"

"Also...... Well, you can rest assured. โ€

"I'm relieved, I'll come to you in a few days, don't think too much. It's almost the New Year, I'm afraid that you won't know how to come back, so Master Ben will pick you up. โ€

"Hey! No more! We'll be back soon! "Here's a yarn!" Liancheng, you're very busy over there, we'll be back soon. "Please, brother, don't mess around!

"I'm not busy, I've been pretty idle lately. That's it, you are allowed to go on vacation, and I am not allowed to go on vacation? Do you know how many numbers there are today? It's the 28th, and I haven't made a phone call for so many days. โ€

"Liancheng ......"

"Don't call Young Master Ben, I don't have any money, I won't borrow, okay, I won't mess with you."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Toot, toot, toot ......"

Looking at the phone that was hung up, I was stunned and looked at Brother Fengyu for help. This guy from Liancheng won't really come here, right? Dead and dead, I would rather not come to Hou Yu, and I don't know why Brother Fengyu called back and said something strange.

And Brother Fengyu didn't seem to see my worries and uneasiness, took the satellite phone and returned it to Hou Yu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they can find us, I remember that there is only one way to come here." โ€

...... "Don't speak, I'm more worried when you speak, I'd rather they can't find it."

In the end, I originally planned to catch Hou Yu and ask about it, but I only made a satellite call, and before I could ask anything, I was forcibly pulled away by Brother Fengyu.

ยท

Leaving the creek, I endured it and endured it, but in the end I still couldn't hold back, I was a little annoyed, but I didn't want to be angry with Brother Fengyu, so I could only force the fire temperament to ask.

"Brother Fengyu, why didn't you ask me to ask Hou Yu just now, and call Liancheng, what's the use?" That guy is here to die!

"It's useless to ask, if Hou Yu and the people behind him collude, isn't this just a scareless? Even if Hou Yu didn't collude with the people behind it, presumably what you can think of, others can also think of it, now, don't act rashly.

You went to Xishan and killed a zombie, you will soon be known by the people behind it, there are more than 20 people in the tour group, and you can't be found for the time being, but you can take the initiative to send it to the door.

Avoid it for a while, and then talk about it after this while. Those villagers I met by the stream today should not be ordinary villagers. Their steps and body shape are steady, and the calluses on their hands are too thick, not like they have been ground out of farm work, but like they often touch hard and heavy objects, and most of the calluses are crooked in the fingers.

In the shooting range, the instructor who teaches the shooting of bows and arrows has a layer of calluses in the finger bends, which is the reason for the long-term drawing of the bow.

Before, when we looked for Hou Yu, these people always stared at us, but when they left, they didn't look at us more, it seems that someone in the place where Hou Yu lives is eavesdropping on us, either hiding in the water under the house or in the house. If it was the latter, Hou Yu might be one of them.

And whether it is a group or not, we should have less contact with Hou Yu, Hou Yu, as a tour guide, has been stared at to death. โ€

After listening to Brother Fengyu's words, I was shocked into a cold sweat. Unknowingly, he competed with the corpse keepers of White Bone Village, and the whole process was controlled by Brother Fengyu.

There is the aftermath of the catastrophe, but more than that, worry.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." He smiled, turned his head and glanced at the road behind us, and his tone was a little playful, "I heard you say in the ancient tomb that Jiang Qin is a person who chases corpses, since the White Bone Village is a corpse-raising clan, why do you think I am looking for Jiang Qin?" No matter how powerful the corpse keeper is, there will be a corpse chaser after all, and one thing will drop one thing. โ€

"Will Jiang Qin come?" Thinking of Jiang Qin's appearance, I was a little unsure. That man, it seems to be easy to get along with, but when did he do things unwillingly? Even in front of the silver, he maintained a feeling of non-confession.

In response to my question, Brother Fengyu smiled, squinted his eyes and replied: "You have only been in the Serious Crime Team for three years, and you don't know much about Liancheng, and when you go on missions with Liancheng in the future, you will know Liancheng's methods." And Jiang Qin may not refuse, even if he does not have a sense of good and evil, I believe that he should not shirk his own responsibilities. โ€

"Hmm." Hope. Jiang Qin didn't know how to deal with the corpse keeper.

Thinking about Liancheng in a trance, I raised my hand and pinched the bridge of my nose, "It's the twenty-eighth today, I remember that it was only the thirteenth or fourteenth when I left, and it was only about three days to stay overnight. "If that's the case, then in the past ten days, not a single call has been made back, and Liancheng is probably worried to death. It seems that there are more secrets in the White Bone Village than we imagined.

Being able to affect time is not something that ordinary formations can do, and I have never heard of any formations that can control time.

The corpse keepers, the speed of time ...... At this moment, my mind was in a mess, and I had the illusion that an elementary school student had walked into a high school classroom, looking confused.
