Very poor!

This was the first impression of Jiaoxi to Sun Yang, the villages in Heihezi where he had stayed before were already very poor in his eyes, but compared to Jiaoxi, it was nothing.

The whole village was scattered on a hill with a gentle slope, divided into two pieces, and at the foot of the hill looked like piles of mud piled up haphazardly, and all the houses were made of earthen ramparts, and the roofs were black tiles, thatched, and dilapidated, which were now rare. At the top of the hill is a large house that is almost circular, and you can still vaguely see things like watchtowers and shooting holes.

Sun Yang had only seen such a house on TV before, and in the era of war, such a house was used to resist the invasion of bandits and foreign enemies, and he did not expect to see a living example here.

There were men working in the steep and narrow fields on the hillside, and when they saw their car coming, they stopped what they were doing and watched them enter the village with gloomy and silent eyes.

The narrow, muddy road led to the front of the big house at the top of the hill, and they were probably seen from a distance, and after they got out of the car, several people were already standing in front of them.

"What's the matter with you?" An old man with a strong accent asked.

He wore a disc-shaped turban wrapped around his head, decorated with strips of colored cloth, and although his clothes were blue-black like the others, they were decorated with many ornate stripes, and the cloak on his back also had intricate patterns, which should have been a person of fame and status in the village.

Neither Sun Yang nor Lu Xiaoling had ever been in contact with such a person, and they didn't know what to say, Xu Hai said at this time: "Old man, let's find someone, have you ever seen ......?"

"Outside the mountains?" The old man interrupted him, and he looked at them, and then at their car. "There's no one you're looking for, and there's no one to help you. You strangers will only bring calamity and anger to the gods, so go! ”

Xu Hai didn't expect him to say this, and the words he had thought about later suddenly stuck in his throat, and he choked and coughed.

"Elder Barong!" Li Yong played a role at this time. "I'm Li Yong from the Weimin Agricultural Machinery Store! I also came to help you fix the tractor the year before last, do you remember? ”

Elder Barong looked at him, "I remember you. ”

"Look, we've been on the road for hours to get here, can you give us a break?"

Elder Barong looked at them again, "You have something unclean on you, did you encounter anything when you came?" ”

"How do you know?" Li Yong suddenly screamed. "There was a thick fog all the way, and I was almost dragged away by the cockroaches......"

"Elder Barong, we don't want to offend you, and we don't intend to bring anything, but the person we're looking for is important to us." Sun Yang took the opportunity to put Cao Daoping's photo in front of him.

"Are you his protégé?" Elder Barong asked suddenly.

Sun Yang and they all nodded, what this sentence meant, they had indeed seen Master Cao?

Barong sneered: "Then you can stay!" ”

Sun Yang wanted to ask anything more, but Ba Long turned his head and entered the big house, leaving only two middle-aged people in their forties to arrange for them to park and rest.

There was no hotel in the village, so the two middle-aged men placed them in an empty house near the big house, which looked to be some years old, but it should have been repaired, and it didn't look broken.

"This is the place where the village is used to receive visitors, and I stayed here last time I came." Li Yong said.

There was a big fire pit in the main house, and there were guest rooms on both sides, and after two middle-aged men brought them in, they pointed out the room to them, and then withdrew, and after a while, they carried a big tree root that was burning at one end, and put it in the fire pit, and put the pot up, and put water on it, so that the cold room finally had some popularity.

"Have you seen him?" Xu Hai seized the opportunity to show them Cao Daoping's photo, but they just shook their heads and didn't say anything.

"What does that mean?" Lu Xiaoling was full of questions and resentment.

"Could it be that my father-in-law had a conflict with them?" Xu Hai couldn't help but say.

He jumped up suddenly: "He won't be harmed by them!" ”

"Master Cao should still be alive." Sun Yang analyzed. "But why are they so hostile to us?"

Lu Xiaoling said: "Let's go to the village and ask, I don't believe that the whole village is as yin and yang as that old man!" ”

The driver stayed to watch the car and things, and several of them divided into two groups to go to the village, Lu Xiaoling and Xu Hai in a group, and Sun Yang and Li Yong in a group.

Although he had been threatened by Sun Yang before, Li Yong was obviously a person with little scheming, and he finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you should know that, right?" ”

Sun Yang shook his head and did not answer.

"You're here to catch ghosts? Looking for treasure? You can't be here to dig a grave, are you? But Li Yong continued to use his imagination.

"We're here to find someone." Sun Yang said angrily.

"Of course you're here to find someone, but what about the old gentleman from before?" Li Yongshen mysteriously lowered his voice. "You made such a big deal and only gave me two hundred days? Too little, right? ”

"Brother Li, have you seen too much?" Sun Yang said angrily. "We don't dare to do anything, just leave if we find someone! You are responsible for helping us lead the way, giving us a general introduction to the general situation, and you don't have to do anything, do you think two hundred days is less? Then you go back, we will find someone again in the village! ”

"I'm just asking!" Li Yong hurriedly shook his hand.

The horror of almost being kidnapped by the monster had almost been forgotten by him after more than an hour, and for him, it was more realistic to pay two hundred yuan a day. He only earned more than 1,000 yuan by working hard in the agricultural machinery shop for a month's tractor, which is simply incomparable with this thing of walking back and forth in a car.

It's a big deal that I don't leave the village, I don't get out of the car, and third, I don't leave these people by half a step! He made up his mind in his heart.

"Why is there no one in the village?" Sun Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Their habit is to get up before dawn, go out to work as soon as dawn, eat a little at noon, and come back at 5 o'clock in the afternoon." Li Yong replied. "The young people are definitely not there at this time, but it's okay, I know the one who runs a small shop in the village, he must be there!"

He took Sun Yang down the stone road in the village, and after a while, he saw a very small supermarket, which was pitch black, without lights, and also lit a fire.

"Ba Youde! Ba Youde? Are you there? Li Yong shouted loudly.

"Which one?" Inside, a man in his thirties poked his head out.

"It's me!" Li Yong replied.

"Why did you get up? Haven't you heard of any machine breakdown? The man known as Ba Youde said in surprise.

In such a small village, there are probably no secrets.

"I brought someone up." Li Yong introduced Sun Yang to Ba Youde, several people sat next to the fire to roast the fire, Ba Youde handed over an iron cup casually, Sun Yang sniffed it, it was wine, and hurriedly shook his head to say that he didn't drink it.

"A lad of this age doesn't drink?" Ba Youde looked at him in surprise. "You're from outside the mountains, aren't you?"

This statement outside the mountain made Sun Yang feel a little uncomfortable, he didn't answer, but directly took out the photo of Cao Daoping: "Have you seen this old gentleman?" ”

Bayoude's eyes narrowed.
