The vegetables in the barbecue were quickly edible, and the proprietress brought over a large white porcelain plate, and the barbecue was placed on it, wafting with a burst of aroma.

"Two, is this your first time in Chengdu? Rent a car or not? A thin, dark young man approached.

I have a habit of never getting bored of seeing these sales, so I just smiled at him and whispered no,

I thought the man would leave, but instead of leaving, he took something like a bell from a broken bag he was carrying and put it on our table, and then left silently.

After he left, Qianjue and I didn't speak, mainly because we didn't know what it was, maybe I read too many novels, I always felt that this thing was poisonous, and if you touch it, you will be poisoned to death.

My gaze kept on the man's back until I couldn't see the position.

When the chicken wings were cooked, the proprietress came over with a white plate full of chicken wings, put it on our table and said, "Don't mind, two handsome guys, we often have some people here who do these strange things, but you must not chase after them, if they catch up, they will tell you thank you, and then thank you and so on, and then they will say that they have no money on them, and they want you to help, and then whatever, in short, there are a lot of tricks." ”

I was a little curious and asked, "Boss, let's talk to you like this, have you ever had an accident here because of this before?" ”

The proprietress may have been bored, and when she heard me ask, not only did she not have any impatient expression, but she pulled a stool and sat down without notice, and whispered: "This is a long story, but the two of us are not ordinary people." Naturally, I won't be fooled by this, but I still remind you that this place is mixed, and I don't want to be like it used to be for a long time, so you have to be careful everywhere. ”

Qianjue and I glanced at each other, and said that this matter was a little strange. So I continued to ask her, but the proprietress didn't hide it, so she chatted with us.

It turns out that because they are far away from the city and close to the mountainous areas, most of the people here have been relying on the mountains for generations, and some young people have left to work outside or go to other cities to make a living. Maybe it's better to mix outside, and those who went out come back after a few years, but they don't come back to settle down, but the parents and brothers who stayed here to pick them up, and in this way, the village with a small population has become more sparsely populated.

Ten years ago, a guy who came out of here came back with a lot of money, and he contacted a lot of investors. Then we worked with the local government to develop the tourism market, which was originally a mountainous area. The scenery of the mountains and lakes is beautiful, and the tourism project was not favored by everyone at the beginning, and even lost money in the first year or two, but from the third year, the industrial chain based on the farmhouse suddenly became popular, and more and more people came here by car every year. Seeing that this farmhouse was not enough to live in, many villagers who used to live here saw the business opportunity, and one by one gave up their urban life, and returned to clean their own courtyards, and invested in building new farmhouses on their own farmland. When there are more people, the popularity will naturally go up.

Originally, this was a good thing, everyone got rich by hard work with their hands, and they were very loving.

But later, with the development and promotion of this tourism resource, more and more people are famous here, the short is three or five days, the long is a month, and the wealth is not at all to spend money.

About half a year ago, some beggars began to appear, they scattered during the day to ask for money, and at night they would gather together and sleep in a ruined temple in the village.

At first, the villagers here didn't care, in their opinion, beggars, where there are people, there will be people, so they didn't say anything, everything was fine, but how do you know that one day, a middle-aged man among these beggars suddenly disappeared and disappeared.

I asked the proprietress when it was, and the proprietress looked a little unpleasant, and whispered, "It was just a month ago." ”

I thought to myself, isn't that what happened not so long ago?

Qian Jue asked her how the missing beggar was doing, and the proprietress sighed and said, "That's what I want to tell you, that beggar hasn't been found yet, but several beggars have died before him, and there were no obvious injuries when the body was found, and they all died in accidents." ”

I said, "Accident? Accidental death? ”

The proprietress said, "Yes, it was an accident, but we all know here that it was not an accident at all, because according to those beggars, the dead people all said that they had met a person before their lives, and he deliberately left something in front of you, and when you took the things and chased after them, that person had already disappeared." ”

Qianjue and I listened very carefully, and the proprietress continued: "Later, according to them, every beggar who came back to tell them about it would disappear the next day, and then it would be found that he had died in an accident. ”

I asked, "Didn't these people give this clue to the police?" ”

The proprietress frowned and said, "As I said, there was a murder, and we were all taken for questioning one by one, but there was no basis for what we said, the police arranged the area in front of us, but still nothing was found." ”

I looked at the bell left by the person just now, and said that this thing looks like a Ming vessel in the bucket, although I can't tell the age, but at least it is definitely an object before the Han Dynasty.

Qianjue kept muffling his chicken wings, and after his father and mother finished speaking, he looked up at me and said, "Boss, I'm full, let's go back." ”

I was surprised by his reaction, but I didn't say anything, pretending to be very unhappy and paying for it, and muttering: "I'm hungry and don't eat, I order so much, and the rest is all wasted, it's all money." ”

Qianjue was also quite cooperative, saying with a look of grievance that he really couldn't eat, his eyes were big and his appetite was small, this meal was what he owed me, and he would make it up to me when he had the opportunity in the future.

The two of us performed like a double reed, and then returned to the hotel with a helpless look on the hostess's face.

As soon as you enter the door, Qianjue immediately took out the infrared anti-theft device and installed it on the valve, and started it in time, the principle of this infrared anti-theft device is actually very simple, that is, to set an infrared light on the door, as long as someone tries to open the door and touch the infrared ray, the alarm will immediately alarm, it seems simple, but it is simple and effective.

Qianjue installed the anti-theft device very quickly, and after closing the door, the two of us sat on the sofa, "Who did you say was that boss lady just now?" ”

I lit a cigarette and took two puffs, "I don't know, but what she just said was obviously deliberately told to us, you think about it, she doesn't know us, why did she tell us this?" ”

"Perhaps, she is trying to prompt us?" Qian Jue suddenly said.

I looked at him, "Tips? You're saying he's deliberately telling us something, is it true that our whereabouts have been revealed? ”

Qianjue immediately stood up and looked at the location of the balcony very vigilantly, I was so frightened by his behavior that I didn't dare to sit on the sofa, and I stood up very vigilantly, looking at the curtains moving a few times, behind the curtains, it seemed that someone was moving.
