Hearing Dead Apostle's words, I thought for a moment and said, "You mean to say that Mayor Mare's actions were not out of his own intention, but rather indulgent?" ”

"I just think it's likely, but I'm not sure, anyway, we'll have to see the mayor first......"

As we spoke, a group of five of us walked out of the alley and searched along the main road. At this time, the private www.biquge.info had a lot of distance to come out one after another, as soon as they came out, they walked towards the stele, and when they walked to the stele, they kowtowed and bowed down in front of the stele, and only after the worship was completed did they go separately to do their own things.

Looking at this scene, I thought to myself, "What is it that drives them to do this kind of thing day after day, is it faith?" Is it the desire to survive? Or is it just a matter of conformity? "I'm not them, I can't know what they're thinking, I just know that this merchant is really harmful.

Just thinking about it, Li Zhisheng on the side patted me on the shoulder and said, "Eh, Shen Xu, do you feel that the girl we met in the hospital before is the daughter of the villager surnamed Hu just now?" ”

I came back to my senses and said, "I felt it just now, but when I think about it, it's too coincidental to feel unlikely, and besides, there are so many people going out of this town, so I can't say for sure." It's a bit of a hasty judgment based solely on similar experiences. ”

After hearing this, Li Zhisheng nodded yes, and then didn't say anything. By this time it was approaching the afternoon, and the people had not eaten since they had risen in the morning, and were already hungry.

"Grunt~" A stomach whining sound, and I don't know who made it. Hearing the voice, Hu Fang took the opportunity to say, "Shen Xu, you see that some of the surrounding eating places are open, why don't we eat something first." ”

I looked around, and sure enough, there were a few food shops that were already open, and they were all hanging up their signs.

"That's okay, it's not bad for a while anyway, let's eat something first......" As I spoke, I motioned for Hu Fang to choose a store.

In a moment, she picked a shop that looked fairly clean, but there were no other customers in the store at this time.

When I stepped through the door and saw that the shop was empty, I shouted, "Is there anyone......

My shouts echoed through the empty room, and when no one answered, I shouted several more times. Just as I was about to run out of patience, a waiter-like man walked out, glanced at us, and answered us in the pure local dialect......

Now, not only me, but even Dead Apostles and Yaolong are completely incomprehensible. "I'm sorry, we are from other places, we don't understand the dialect here, can you speak Mandarin?" I asked.

When the man heard this, he frowned impatiently and said word by word: "Mud... Cover... Want... Times... What? ”

After listening to this, I silently read what he said in my mind a few more times, and then I could roughly understand what he meant, he wanted to ask what we were going to eat. I opened my mouth and just wanted to ask him what he had to eat here, but after thinking about it, "I guess it will take a long time to ask him for this question, so let's just ask him for the menu...... and I asked him for the menu directly.

We took the menu and found a place to sit down and ordered some side dishes and rice. After a while, the dishes were all ready, and the taste was mouth-watering, but the color of all the dishes was a little black, even the rice was yellow.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's rice cooked in that kind of turbid water, right? With a hint of concern, I said as I looked at the bowl of brown and charred rice in front of me.

But Yaolong on the side said: "We almost didn't bring anything to eat on the road, so let's just eat a little, it's impossible to go hungry." ”

After hearing this, the crowd didn't want to say anything, so after barely eating some, they checked out and left, looking for the white-brick and red-tiled house in the town again.

After searching for more than an hour, a three-story house was finally found in a relatively open area. The architecture of the house is the same as that of the surrounding buildings, but the overall style is much cleaner than the surrounding houses, and it seems to be cleaned frequently. In front of the house there was a small courtyard with some flowers and trees, and in front of the courtyard was a polished silver car.

"As the villager said, you will know it at a glance......" I muttered to myself, turning to the crowd and saying, "You are waiting now, and I will go and see first." ”

So saying, I walked toward the house. As soon as I walked to the front of the courtyard, two strong men in old suits appeared out of nowhere and stopped me, they looked at me and asked, "Don't you know if the mayor's house can't come casually?" Look at you and you're out of town, let's go! "As he spoke, he was about to blast me out.

I sighed, "This mayor's pomp is too big, I won't let you see it." Thinking about it, I took out some money from my jacket pocket, held it up to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Two big brothers, it's hard work, I have something to do with the mayor, and I'm bothering the two of you to go in and talk." With that, I shoved the money into their hands.

But unexpectedly, the two of them were unmoved when they saw the money, but resolutely drove me out.

Seeing that money didn't work, I had to retreat to everyone's side, Li Zhisheng saw me come back with a disgraced face, and sarcastically said to me: "What's the matter, pretending to be a grandson failed......"

I gave him a blank look and said, "If you have a good idea, you can go, it's really ......."

The Dead Apostle on the side ignored our joke and pondered it and said, "This doesn't seem to be that simple, and it can't be found out overnight...... Now that we know that the mayor's house is here, let's find a place to settle down first, otherwise it will be troublesome to wait until it gets dark......"

"Well, too. Didn't you say that something was going to happen in this town after twelve o'clock? Let's see what the hell is going on......"

While talking, everyone found a hostel to live in near the mayor's house, although the environment was very poor, but the room of this hostel happened to have a clear view of the mayor's house, which was convenient for us to monitor him.

There were three rooms in total, one for Hu Fang himself, one for Yaolong and the Dead Apostles, and one for Li Zhisheng and me. The three rooms were all on the second floor, and they were all connected, Hu Fang's room was on the far left, while Li Zhisheng and I were in the middle, and on the right were Dead Apostles and Yao Long.

After settling in, everyone gathered in my room with Li Zhisheng, discussing the situation in the town and the words on the stone tablet.

After a long discussion, no one said why, but the Dead Apostle said that although the words on the stone tablet were used to suppress evil spirits, he did not know what the purpose of writing it was reversed......

And so we talked until midnight and it was half past eleven. During this time, I stood at the window and stared at the mayor's small house, but there was no light in the house, and no one came out. ”

I was thinking when I heard a knock at the door, and I walked to the door in confusion and opened it. I saw the owner of the inn standing at the door, and when he saw that we were all in the house, he said straight to the point: "This town is a little strange, I am sure you all know it, it will be twelve o'clock in a while, and when the time comes, don't open any doors and windows, and it's better not to go out of the room......"
