Chapter 17: An Unexpected Clue
I was shocked into a cold sweat in an instant, Uncle Lu looked at me suspiciously following Hu San's gaze, seeing that I looked a little flustered, frowned, and walked straight to my side, stared at my eyes and asked, "How do you know?" ”
My panicked heart was about to jump out of my throat, and I was both puzzled and angry, and I vaguely prevaricated: "I don't know any strange people, and I don't pay much attention to this matter, how can I know?" ”
Uncle Lu stared straight into my eyes, I tried my best to pretend to be innocent and confused, but my psychological quality was still not up to par, and my palms were cold and faintly sweating. www.biquge.info Uncle Lu looked at me, then at Hu San's smiling cheeks, turned around suspiciously, and shouted at Hu San: "You better don't fool me as soon as possible, I don't know what kind of character my nephew has?" If he could find such an important clue, he would definitely come to me as soon as possible. ”
Hu San's sharp gaze like an arrow shot at me, firmly glued to me for more than a minute. I was both nervous and weak by him, and twisted my head to the side to learn from Uncle Lu: "Don't look at Lao Tzu with estrus eyes." ”
Hu San chuckled and sighed: "Let's pretend to be stupid together." ”
Uncle Lu was a little annoyed by his yin and yang weird words, glared at him impatiently and said: "I don't have so much time to talk to you, I'll just ask you a word, if we can't talk about it, we'll go to the sky." Do you know where to find Li Xikan? ”
Hu San turned around and walked forward without stopping: "Liujiawan on the other side of the lake." ”
My heart shook violently in my chest, and I involuntarily looked back at Wang Linshuo, his eyes widened and he opened his mouth slightly, and his face was full of surprise. Uncle Lu muttered the words Liu Jiawan in a low voice, and suddenly raised his head and said to Hu San, who was gradually moving away: "You keep the account, I owe you a favor." ”
Li Qingling was unusual, and rushed out of me like a whirlwind, and followed closely behind Uncle Lu and the man in black without landing. Wang Linshuo and I glanced at each other, and we both read a lot of strange emotions from each other's eyes. Zhang Siyuan pulled Wang Zhen over with a wicked smile and bumped me on the shoulder, and Wang Zhen threw me an inquiring look. I rubbed my temples, lifted my legs and followed.
Although there is a wharf with colorful boats moored on the shore of Cheng Hai, the man in black resolutely disagrees with us taking such a quick and convenient route because the target is too obvious and easy to be exposed. We had no choice but to give up this plan and go to the lake and call a black car to take us to our destination.
Perhaps because the lake on that side is next to the road, the number of tourists has dropped dramatically, and almost all the people you see along the way are locals. The driver picked up shortcuts and paths, and came out of a certain corner in a twist and turn, and said to us after a foot of brake: "Walk forward fifty meters to the village entrance of Liujiawan." ”
I jumped out of the car and looked at the low eaves, the dog standing on the side of the road with its tail down, and the little girl who looked back at us from time to time with a basket and dressed in ethnic costumes, knowing that the real journey had just begun, and that we would not have a good time this day and night.
Zhang Siyuan saw that the little girl's eyes were as clear and sparkling as a puddle of clear water, and magically took out a candy with a shiny coat from her pocket and walked towards her. The little girl was taken aback, stumbled backwards, and disappeared like the wind behind the two large iron gates. Zhang Siyuan was slightly embarrassed, peeled the candy into his mouth and walked back and said, "The children here are too scared, I just want to have a friendly exchange with them." ”
Wang Zhen said with a smile: "People's parents must have taught them not to eat strangers' things many times, such as Uncle Zhang, who sometimes likes to hunch his waist when walking, always wears a gray coat, and behaves a little abnormally, but he is the focus of people's prevention." ”
Zhang Siyuan glared at him, involuntarily straightened his waist, and pulled down the gray coat on his body. I secretly glanced at Li Qingling with my spare eyes, but I saw her squatting on the side of the road to pick a blooming wild flower, with a faint smile on her face, and the woman who was crying and crying yesterday with a bitter and bitter face was like two people. I wondered in my heart, the heart woman is really an elusive creature, yesterday it was cloudy, today I will see the sun through the clouds.
Li Qingling didn't show any clues, and I didn't know where to look for information. Uncle Lu proposed to go into the village to 'visit' one by one, and the man in black shook his head again and again after hearing this: "This will definitely not work." Li Xikan can be temporarily taken in here, it must be because the people in the village have received some benefits from him or have some unusual relationship with him. The villagers here are already xenophobic, so we go to knock on the door one by one...... In my opinion, the cold face received in this way can add up to the number of cards in a deck. ”
Uncle Lu's brows twisted like twisted flowers when he heard this, and after a long pause, he suddenly sighed and said, "If only Hu San could be here now." He is agile and quick-witted, and Coral is really a general. ”
The man in black said lightly: "But his whereabouts are also unpredictable, although he is in the coral now, he is not all for the coral." His own little abacus crackled, and no one could fully control him. Let's just say his name, he calls himself Coral when he faces outsiders, and he says his name is Hu San when he faces us 'insiders'. What his real name was, I never had a chance to know. ”
I thought of the resolute figure in the cave, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. Zhang Siyuan sneakily came over to me and said, "Maybe Hu San's parents were very distracted when they named him at that time, and gave him an otherworldly name like a dog, a second flower, and so on. Hu San didn't have such a high consciousness, and he was determined to get rid of his name to the death, so he wore a vest when he walked the rivers and lakes. ”
I couldn't help but laugh at his nonsense, and laughed at him: "Then your parents' education level is quite high, and the name is like a poem - open your eyes and miss you in the distance." ”
After arguing, they decided to take a look around the village first to see if they could pick up any words that were missing. I ruffled my hair and sprinkled some dirt on my body, trying to pretend to be some unmarried young man from the next village who had come to visit relatives. We walked along the village path, but for some reason the doors of the houses in the village were closed, and the expected images of the women sitting in the sun and chatting in the sun never appeared.
Wang Zhen let out a strange sigh as he walked, he muttered in a low voice, raised his hand to knock on a door on the right, and shouted, "Is there anyone at home?" ”
As soon as people hear your Mandarin, they will assume that you are definitely not a local resident, and the possibility of the other party opening the door will be greatly reduced for safety reasons. But the heavy iron door was laboriously pulled open by a small crack, and a small head poked out.
I looked down and saw that those big watery eyes were so familiar, and I thought that I was not destined for this little girl, how could I knock on the door at random and choose the door of their house. The little girl wore a high ponytail, her skin was slightly dark, and she looked to be between eight or nine years old. She bit her fingers, her eyes flickered, and she hid behind the door, looking scared of us.
Wang Zhen squatted down and said softly: "Little sister, where are your parents?" Call them out, my brother has something to look for them. ”
The little girl lowered her head and muttered for a long time before whispering, "They went out early in the morning." ”
I was a little surprised by her crisp Mandarin with almost no accent, Wang Zhen sighed, asked Zhang Siyuan for two candies, spread them in the palm of his hand and smiled at her: "Then can you tell my brother where your parents have gone?" My brother has a very important thing to do with them, you are a good boy, help us, I will give you this candy. ”
The little girl just kept shaking her head, and just as we were all about to give up, she suddenly spoke, "You're here to find someone, right?" ”
I was startled and hurriedly turned around, Uncle Lu ran to the little girl, and said hurriedly: "Has anyone else been here before us?" ”
The little girl was obviously frightened by Uncle Lu, took several steps back, hid behind the door and said, "Several uncles and a beautiful aunt have been here, and they are all like you, hurrying around here like flies, looking for something. ”
I'm a little confused, who is the aunt with a beautiful heart? Could it be that Li Xiguan's womanhood is so good, and there are two beautiful women who care about him on weekdays? The little girl suddenly became impatient, turned her head to the side, and said irritably: "The brother you are looking for is on the hill behind the village, and you can follow this road until you reach the end." ”
She slammed the door shut, leaving no room for us to ask. Uncle Lu didn't think so much, and stumbled down the village road, dust flying at his feet.
My heart lifted, I felt the warm jade in my pocket, and I kept up with his footsteps with all my strength.
