Cao Fang watched with them for a while, and soon found that she couldn't help at all, and finally simply went upstairs to help them get supper and drinks.

Although Lu Xiaoling is full of interest, her personality is really not suitable for this.

Most people always think that girls are more attentive and patient, but it is clear that this law does not work for her at all.

"You better go and see those photos~" Sun Yang said helplessly.

After all, he used to be a construction clerk on the construction site, and he was used to finding what he needed from countless drawings, tables, and all kinds of crumpled and strange data, and in the incident that led him to the path of cultivation, he had also closely observed the habits of Master Cao and Master Lu in searching and sorting out materials, so he quickly discovered the logic.

Among the books and materials marked by Master Cao Daoping, there are either records similar to what happened in Heihezi Township, Wengen County, or there are secret words similar to the rune paper taken from Zhang Laogen, or there are ownerless lonely tombs similar to the nine tombs in Heihezi, and he is even studying the different proportions of the Sanhe soil of various dynasties, the evolution history of totems in the history of Great Xia, and the witchcraft culture related to tombs, and the photos on the table are a large number of photos of various wooden and jade talismans related to animals. Lots of photos of tombs.

"Master Cao has been tracking down something related to that incident." Sun Yang raised his head and looked at Lu Xiaoling, her eyes suddenly flooded with moisture.

"Why didn't he tell us?" She frantically used her actions to hide her excitement and uneasiness.

Sun Yang shook his head, but what he was thinking in his mind was: Why is he still investigating this matter, is there any problem in it that has not been solved?

Thinking of the scene at the moment when Master Lu pushed himself away, it was as if something was slowly twisting his heart in his heart, making him breathless.

He began to slowly sort through these things, and once again flipped through the materials closer to Master Cao's workbench, Master Cao's breakthrough was probably focused on the records of similar events and similar wooden talismans, and on a photo on Master Cao's desk, Sun Yang saw a wood carving that was extremely similar to the wood carving they had found in Heihezi, but the carved thing was completely different.

The most valuable information may have been taken away by Master Cao, but he now understood what Master Cao was looking for there, and it was much easier to get it.

Cao Fang came down with coffee and some snacks at this time.

"Sister Fangfang, we probably already have a little eyebrows, do you have a recent single photo of Uncle Cao? Can you help us wash a few more copies? ”

They decided to take the earliest flight they could book to Zhijiang the next day, but what they didn't expect was that Cao Fang's husband, Xu Hai, insisted on going with them.

"He's my father-in-law, and I can't stay out of it if something like this happens."

Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling felt very embarrassed: "Brother-in-law, this is not an ordinary accident or an adventure, to be honest, the two of us may only be able to protect ourselves, and there is no way to protect you." ”

"You're always going to need someone to handle the logistics, right?" Xu Hai insisted. "I don't go to dangerous places, but I can always do it when I look for connections in town or in the local area, hire guides, and buy things that are necessary."

Lu Xiaoling looked at Cao Fang, she nodded silently, so she no longer objected.

Xu Hai is the owner of a small trading house, and after hastily arranging the company's affairs, he and Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling flew to Zhijiang City by 10 o'clock in the morning, and then chartered a bus to Nanyou Town in Kuishan County. The driver is a former soldier, his hometown is Kuishan, along the way Sun Yang asked him about the local legends of Kuishan and Nanyou, and he really heard something interesting.

Nanyou Town is very similar to Heihezi, both are the most isolated, poorest and most backward mountainous areas in the county, the only difference is that Heihezi lives in the descendants of the Golden Tooth Man and the White Man, while Nanyou is mostly the descendants of Sanmiao and Baipu.

It is also the home of Gu and witchcraft, and there are many ghost stories and legends about monsters.

The driver also mentioned that there is a monster called "Python" in the mountain, which hides on the side of the road every once in a while, and takes away and eats travelers who walk at night.

"When I was a child, whenever I went out at night, my parents would scare me with cockroaches." The driver said with some emotion. "How many years have it been."

"Is there still such a legend?" Lu Xiaoling asked.

"Of course not now."

"Are there many traffic accidents and the like over there?" Sun Yang asked.

"There are quite a lot, there were two accidents last year, both of which were cars falling from dozens of meters high cliffs, and the corpses fell to pieces, and they couldn't fight together." The driver replied. "It's a steep hill over there! The road is not easy to walk, and it is easy to fog in the morning and evening, and it is easy for drivers from other places to have accidents in the past. ”

Sun Yang's heart moved, but he didn't say anything on the surface.

It took nearly six hours to get from Zhijiang to Nanyouzhen, a typical mountain town, but with a strong ethnic flavor, with houses cascading along the hillside, all the streets are narrow and sloping, and many intersections have to reverse several times to get up.

The driver quickly made a sweat: "Mah, Lao Tzu has been a car soldier for so many years, and I have never walked in such a difficult place." ”

There were only two inns in town, and they soon found the one where Cao Daoping had stayed.

"Who the hell is this old gentleman? Why are you looking for it, and the police in the county are looking for it? The shopkeeper wondered.

"He is our teacher and we are his students." Sun Yang said vaguely. "Old man, have the police been here?"

"I came here at noon the day before yesterday, and after asking some questions, I went back to the county seat." The shopkeeper replied.

"Didn't they continue to check?" Xu Hai burst into anger.

"I had a meal and left, didn't I see them check anything?"

Xu Hai jumped up angrily, and Sun Yang hurriedly grabbed him.

When he was on the construction site before, he had dealt with bureaucrats in such remote small counties, and most of their administrative and administrative efficiency were not high, and they often had to rely on friendships at the wine table to get things done. Xu Hai called from Linjiang City, thousands of miles away, to find someone to help, and the police did come once, so such efficiency is already rare.

"Brother Xu, we may have to beg them, it's no good to make a stiff now!"

Xu Hai finally calmed down, and the two walked back to the hostel again, hearing that Lu Xiaoling had already asked the back: "When was the last time you saw him?" ”

"I told the police the day before yesterday." The shopkeeper replied. "I remember it in my book, he left the room five days ago."

"Do you know where he went?"

"I don't know, but he must have gone to the country, and I remember a tractor waiting for him at the intersection that morning."

"Tractors? Is it someone you know? ”

"How could we know so many people!" The shopkeeper laughed. "Five days ago, it was a market day, and people from more than a dozen villages around would come over, and he probably called a tractor on the street."

The scope of the search suddenly expanded to more than a dozen villages, which made Sun Yang gasp. It's okay to be tired, but what if you delay too much time and miss the time to rescue?

"Fellow, how often do you catch up here?" Xu Hai asked.

"The small set is every three days, and the big set is every six days." The shopkeeper replied.

That is to say, catch the small set on Wednesday and the big set on Saturday.

"We'll have to wait two days." Xu Hai said with a gloomy face. "We don't have that time."
