Uncle Liu wiped the oil stains on his hands on his apron, took the mobile phone handed to him by Xia Beifeng, squinted his eyes for a long time, and then nodded slowly.

"I seem to have an impression that this young man with long hair is right?"

"Yes." Xia Beifeng looked at the mobile phone in Uncle Liu's hand and patiently explained to him: "This is my friend, who is engaged in art, and he loves to make these strange shapes scary." Some time ago, he came here alone to play, and he made an appointment with me to wait for me here, but after I came yesterday, he couldn't get through on the phone. I guessed he might have gone into the mountains, so I wanted to ask if anyone had seen him. At least let me know a direction, and find someone to have a goal...... Anyway, his appearance should be quite conspicuous, and he can be a little impressed by what he has seen. ”

"It's true that it's hard not to remember his long hair." Uncle Liu nodded with a smile and returned the phone to Xia Beifeng: "This friend of yours came here once last week. But he didn't eat at my place, he ate at the breakfast stall that sells hand-rolled noodles over there, and he brought a very good-looking little girl, who seemed to be his girlfriend. ”

"Little girl? Girlfriend? Xia Beifeng frowned when he heard this, stretched out his hand and gestured on his chest, and asked uncertainly: "Is it a little girl who is about so tall, with very white skin, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a white skirt, and chattering a lot?" ”

"No, no, no." Uncle Liu hurriedly waved his hand: "That girl feels like she is twenty too." I didn't pay attention to what I was wearing, but it was certainly not white. It's quiet, and I've been walking with your friends. Your friend is shopping in front of the morning market, she follows behind your friend, she doesn't even say much, everything you buy is your friend to buy, ask her to say something, she just nods and shakes her head, or just laughs, looks very well-behaved. ”

It's a well-behaved little girl who doesn't like to talk, so she shouldn't be a sparrow.

And based on past experience, sparrows shouldn't have recovered so quickly.

The little girl who followed Ye Baiyu should be someone else.

Xia Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, and at the same time had new doubts.

Although Ye Baiyu is crazy, he wants to come out one by one, and he can't speak accurately, but he is quite good at the opposite sex.

Xia Beifeng remembered that when he was not very old, he had heard Ye Baiyu say a few times that he was not close to women. In fact, in his memory, he had indeed never seen any ordinary women around Ye Baiyu.

And Sparrow had said before that he didn't have that in mind at all......

So who the hell is this little girl?

Xia Beifeng thought about it for a while, but he felt that his head was too big to think of it, and he still couldn't figure it out.

Ye Baiyu, what do you want to do! Wouldn't you do anything other than find trouble?

Complaining is complaining, the person who should be found still has to be found, and the things that should be asked have to be asked.

"Uncle Liu, do you remember where they went? What did they both say, or something else...... Can you remember everything and tell me, okay? ”

"I'll be able to remember so much, and I'll just have a face-to-face with them at that time, if it weren't for your friend looking very conspicuous, I might not have remembered it at all." Uncle Liu shook his head regretfully: "If you want to ask, you can go to the noodle stall over there and ask, if they haven't confiscated the stall." ”

"Oh, got it, thank you." Xia Beifeng bent down and nodded, stacked a few stools in his hand, and walked out of the breakfast stall towards the noodle stall that Uncle Liu pointed to.

Xia Beifeng walked around the town for a long time, constantly inquiring about the news about Ye Baiyu, and it took almost half a day.

He asked a lot of people and got a lot of bits and pieces of information.

By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he could already completely assemble the range of activities of Ye Baiyu in the few days he lived in the town.

There is also a little bit of understanding about the little girl that Ye Baiyu carried.

The girl should be about twenty years old and have straight hair (it seems that the hair is particularly good?). ), very pretty. He is quite tall, about 1.7 meters. Always wearing a pink dress, she doesn't see her cold even if she bare her legs. He doesn't talk much, but his voice is gentle, he is introverted, and he doesn't eat much. It is said that if Ye Baiyu goes to eat anywhere, she just sits and watches on the side, sometimes she asks for a glass of water, sometimes she doesn't even want water, just watch it......

Xia Beifeng looked at a vague figure he had drawn on a piece of paper and sighed.

He perfected the girl's face little by little through the memories of the people in the town, and it was not until he was idle that he began to try to draw the girl's appearance on paper.

After painting for a while, the painting was not finished, but he could already confirm completely that the girl who followed Ye Baiyu was definitely not a normal human being.

It's just that it's not clear whether it's friend or foe.

"Who the hell is this girl! Master, how can your old man attract bees and butterflies wherever he goes? Xia Beifeng scratched his hair irritably, muttering to himself in pain while staring at the girl drawn on the white paper.

He was sitting in a café at this time, bored with a pen and casually scratching on the paper, speculating on the whereabouts of the missing person Ye Baiyu.

The people in the town are not very interested in the café, and on this quiet and leisurely afternoon, the huge café is empty, except for the summer north wind, only a small couple sitting in the corner whispering.

"I said where the hell is your old man, can you come out and squeak. Even if it's dead, it's better to leave a contact information for me! Don't always think about playing with a pretty little girl out of nowhere! Please open your eyes and see clearly, your apprentice, I am about to be angry with you here! ”

The pen in Xia Beifeng's hand quickly tapped on the portrait with only an outline. There was a rapid crunching sound.

The busy sound on the phone, the ghost fire in the middle of the night, the rumors about the ghost fire in the town, Ye Baiyu, whose whereabouts are unknown, the little girl who came from an unknown source, and Xu Tianyang, the tomb robber with an unknown purpose......

Tomb robbers? Xu Tianyang?

Thinking of this, Xia Beifeng suddenly became energetic. I thought of someone who might be able to help.

He put down his pen, took out his mobile phone, and quickly dialed Shen Yungui's phone.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. It wasn't until Xia Beifeng even wanted to hang up that Shen Yungui's confused voice came from the phone.

"Hello? Xiaobei? What's the matter with calling so early? ”

Shen Yungui's voice on the other end of the phone didn't sound like he had woken up yet, and Xia Beifeng could even hear Shen Yungui yawning after asking him.

"Uncle, can you take a look at what time it is, it will be dark in a while, is it still early?" Xia Beifeng spit out very helplessly, and without waiting for Shen Yungui to refute, he continued to ask, "I want to ask you about someone." ”

"Okay, you say, I'll listen." Shen Yungui agreed perfunctorily, and he didn't know if he was really listening or saying it casually.

There was a small grinding sound on the other side of the phone, and it sounded like he was either getting dressed or folding a quilt.

Or is it just a flip.

"Do you know a person named Xu Tianyang? Maybe it's with you. Xia Beifeng recalled Xu Tianyang's appearance, and slowly described to Shen Yungui: "Young man, in his twenties this year, dyed with yellow hair, ......"

"I'm no longer doing it, don't always meet a dead man who makes a fortune and say it's my companion. And there are people like this on the street, and the inverted ones are generally not so high-profile. Shen Yungui replied in a daze, and threw the question back to Xia Beifeng: "Are you sure he is really fighting backwards, not pretending to be handsome?" Today's children like to say that they are touching the golden captain in order to pretend to be handsome, and they are not afraid of cowhide blowing up and knocking on the door in the middle of the night. ”

"I'm sure." Xia Beifeng said in a firm tone: "He didn't tell me what he did. It's just that the yin qi on the body is very heavy, and you can attract dirty things when you walk casually on the road. Although he has been hiding and refusing to say, but after all, he is a young man, and his deceptive skills are far from those old fritters, so I casually tried a few times before revealing my feet...... How's that, can you be a little impressed? ”

"I don't know if you say that!" Shen Yungui was also a little distressed: "Such young people are really all over the street, young people who have just entered the industry are quite young, are there any more distinctive characteristics?" ”

"He also has an uncle, who seems to be named Xu He."

"It's useless for you to tell me what his grandfather's name is, and I don't have the right to check the file, and even if I do, there will be no results. Those things don't use their real names to work, and if you tell me what his real name is, I don't know who it is. Shen Yungui sighed helplessly and made some suggestions to Xia Beifeng: "It's better to say something else...... Does he have a scar on his body? ”

"I didn't see the scar, there is a tattoo of two dragons grabbing pearls, on the right arm, two black dragons from the wrist to the shoulder, the beads are blue, quite large." Xia Beifeng recalled the dragon on Xu Tianyang's arm, and the pen in his hand casually drew on the invalid white paper: "It's very handsome, the color is quite fresh, it should have been tattooed for a few days, so you have a little impression?" ”

"You told me what you were doing a few days after I got it...... Two dragons grab pearls? Blue beads? Isn't it red? Shen Yungui hesitated for a moment before continuing: "You said that the two dragons grabbed the pearls, but I remembered something." It feels like I know such a person, but I don't remember it clearly, you wait for me to recall, and I'll call you when I think about it. ”

"Alas, wait a ......minute," Xia Beifeng shouted halfway into the phone, and then heard a short busy sound over there.

Actually hung up.

He looked at the phone screen and was stunned for a moment, then put down the phone in frustration.

"What kind of person is this, and remember, you just want to sleep." He looked at the black mobile phone screen, and secretly blessed Shen Yungui, who might have fallen asleep again, that it was best to have a "sweet dream" full of evil ghosts now.

Hopefully, he woke up and didn't forget that I called him.

Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows a few times, put down his phone, and looked out the window.

The sky was still very dark, and the rain clouds that had been floating over the town all day did not seem to have any idea of changing the status quo, still insisting on blocking the sun and refusing to rain, bringing a certain sense of great oppression from time to time.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, they were all hurrying by, and they didn't have any interest in the coffee shops on the side of the road.

A few stray dogs were lying lazily on the corner of the street, sticking out their tongues and gasping hard. They looked at the occasional passer-by, and didn't even bother to give a handout.

I'm like that of those lazy dogs now, and I'm not far from death.

Xia Beifeng took his gaze back from the stray dog on the corner of the street, turned his head and shouted at the empty café.

"Please refill my glass."

The young waiter in a white shirt and black skirt walked quickly when he heard the sound, raised his little finger and picked up the empty cup on Xia Beifeng's table, dropped a sentence of "please wait", and walked away quickly.

The little couple in the corner didn't know what to say, and they laughed in unison, bringing a little popularity to this café.

Xia Beifeng turned his head and glanced at the little couple who were blocked by the tall bonsai, and suddenly felt even more depressed.

What a great afternoon! I also want to find a beautiful little girl to chat with and drink coffee, instead of sitting here and worrying about finding a big man.

And I have to wait for a call that I don't know if it will come.

Xia Beifeng glanced down at his watch.

It was only five minutes since Shen Yungui hung up the phone just now.

The guy didn't know how long he would be able to sleep, maybe it would be dark when he woke up.

Xu Tianyang and the others might have gone down to the ground by now, and maybe they would have died in a while.

I don't know what they're digging up here.

Although they make a lot of money in this industry, if they spend it like this, they will almost throw most of their life savings into it.

Xu He has put so much effort into building so many things here, and it is estimated that what he wants to dig is not an ordinary thing.

If their target is that Jijia Village, then I can only pray for them here.

After all, that ghost fire is a real thing that kills people......

The waiter just now came over with another steaming cup of coffee.

"Sir, the coffee you wanted." The waiter said playfully, and put the coffee in front of Xia Beifeng: "Be careful of hot hands, please use it slowly." ”

"Oh, thank you." Xia Beifeng took the coffee and looked down.

On the surface of that cup of coffee is a delicate latte art pattern, which is two large and small circles of hearts.

The waiter still stood beside him, smiling at the milky white pattern in the cup, and his eyes flashed with some kind of expectation.

Xia Beifeng took a sip of coffee and looked up in surprise.

"I'm fine." He said to the waiter, "Don't you have to work, just stand here?" ”

The waiter reacted at this time, she lowered her head slightly, and said with a light smile: "Sir, I'll go first, if you have anything else, just call me again." ”

"Hmm." Xia Beifeng nodded: "You go." ”

The waiter took a step reluctantly, his eyes still resting on the watch on Xia Beifeng's wrist, refusing to move away.

Xia Beifeng lowered his head and glanced at his watch, and then looked up at the waiter who was crawling with a turtle crawling with small steps, and suddenly thought of something.

With his understanding of Ye Baiyu's guy. When that guy arrives in a place, he must have the best food and shelter.

But when I asked the front desk at the hotel if I had seen Ye Baiyu before, the little girl at the front desk said that she had no impression at all.

The waiter at the café also said that he had not seen it.

I don't think he can have friends to entertain him here, so where does he live?

And I actually went to the morning market to eat noodles, not to find a tea restaurant to set a table and eat slowly in the morning.

This is simply not Ye Baiyu's style!

What was it that made that guy deign to do such a thing?

Is it to please the little girl he just met?

That shouldn't be!

If you guessed correctly, this girl may be what Ye Baiyu said before, my former and future teacher. Since it's an old lover, you should know him well, right, do you still need to dress?

Or is he deliberately avoiding something......

Thing or people?

Just when Xia Beifeng vaguely felt that he had caught ~ a little clue, the phone he put on the table rang very inopportunely.

He glanced down at the flashing word "uncle" on the phone, and was a little surprised.

This guy answered the phone in the middle of sleep, and when he woke up, he could still remember, it's not easy!

What's even more difficult is that it only took ten minutes to call back.

Xia Beifeng answered the phone while praying in his heart, hoping that Shen Yungui would still remember what he had just asked.

It turns out that prayer is useless, and what can happen to Xia Beifeng will always be the worst-case scenario.

After the phone was connected, the first question Shen Yungui asked was-

"Xiaobei, did you call me just now, what do you want to ask, I forgot."

Xia Beifeng listened to the guiltless apology on the other side of the phone, and a green tendon broke out in the hand holding the phone.

"I just asked you, do you know a person named Xu Tianyang, or his uncle, a local tyrant named Xu He." Xia Beifeng took a deep breath and said patiently to Shen Yungui on the other side of the phone: "If you dare to say that you don't know, I will call Xiaotian and ask him to bring a few 'friends' to visit you, believe it or not." ”

"I ......"

After Shen Yungui shouted out the word "I" in a majestic manner, there was no follow-up.

A few minutes later.

Shen Yungui, who finally decided to succumb to someone's lewd ~ Wei, spoke out again.

"I have never heard the name Xu Tianyang, but Xu He has heard of it. I haven't seen him himself, but if you say that he is Xu He's nephew, and there are two tattoos of black dragons on his arms, I may really have a clue. ”

"How?" Xia Beifeng said impatiently into the phone: "Don't sell it, I don't have time to listen to you tell the story of the past, summarize it concisely and clearly." ”

(To be continued.) )
