I was more sure that the figure I saw for the first time was not my delusion, and I ran out of the house and looked around me quickly, but this time, as before, I still didn't find the old man. I was vaguely surprised. An old man who is old and injured like that can move so fast.

If a young man wants to escape from my sight, it is indeed possible, but an old man, it is almost impossible. Even if the old man's health is good, but due to physiological factors, he can't run faster than a young man.

I went into several uninhabited houses nearby, and after searching, the old man with a bloody face seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world, and I couldn't find his shadow at all. When he came out of the old house, Tang Yingxuan in the distance stretched his waist and stood up from the ground.

He walked over to me and saw that I was looking around. He asked me what I was looking for.

"Do you see an old man with a bloody face passing by here?" I asked.

Tang Yingxuan shook his head directly: "If someone comes, I will find out." ”

I was slightly stunned, indeed, Tang Yingxuan was born in the military, and his alertness has always been much higher than ordinary people. Staying alone in a foreign land, Tang Yingxuan would definitely be more vigilant, so Tang Yingxuan seemed to be asleep, but he was definitely observing the movements around him all the time.

Rest in reconnaissance, reconnaissance in rest, this is the skill that a good soldier should have.

Tang Yingxuan was some distance away from this dilapidated house, if it was a person with quick skills who wanted to escape Tang Yingxuan's attention, it was indeed very possible. After all, Tang Yingxuan's hearing and perception are limited, but the problem is the age of the other party. An old man, can he really be faster than me and avoid Tang Yingxuan's observation, you know. The old man stood on the windowsill for a short time.

I walked to the back of the room, where the old man with his bloody face was standing, but I looked at the windowsill and the floor, and there was no blood. Tang Yingxuan followed me to the back of the house, he asked me what was going on, and I told Tang Yingxuan everything I saw.

Tang Yingxuan's tense expression changed, and he thought about it. I think I'm wrong.

I don't think I'm wrong, the time I saw the old man, to say the least, there were more than ten seconds, I couldn't have misread it for that long. But I couldn't find a reason to refute Tang Yingxuan. In addition to not knowing how the old man disappeared from our sight inexplicably, I also don't know the purpose of the old man.

Although I didn't fully see the old man's appearance just now because the light was too strong, I could tell that I had never seen this old man before. I really don't understand the purpose of an old man I have never seen before, but he is pretending to be a ghost in front of me, and he does not hurt me.

"I'm going into the desert again." Tang Yingxuan suddenly interrupted my thoughts.

"Do you want to find those coffins too? What about Shen Cheng, is he here? I asked.

Tang Yingxuan shook his head and walked straight to the camel, he took the camel and was about to go to the desert. I looked at my watch, I had been in the village for more than three hours, in fact, I was not ready to enter the desert in the first place, I just wanted to see the location of the desert so that I could explore it later.

Unexpectedly, I actually met Tang Yingxuan here, watching him lead the camel slowly into the desert, I gritted my teeth and followed. Tang Yingxuan soon found out that I was following him, and he didn't look at me, telling me to himself that he had been exploring this desert for several days.

He had been to the place where the local residents had legend, but there was no trace of any coffins there, Tang Yingxuan refused to give up, and would go to different places in the desert every day to investigate, but after several days, he still did not find those coffins.

"Do you think that rumor is true?" I asked.

Tang Yingxuan nodded: "The air will not come to the wind, the villagers here are simple, everyone will not lie, the people of the whole village say that the rumors are true, then the news will not be false." ”

We were already in the desert, and it was still a sunny day, but the weather changed as it was said, and the clouds were thick in the distance, and the wind was blowing more violently. There is not much precipitation in the border provinces, and it hardly rains in winter, so I am not worried about the clouds and heavy rain, but what worries people is the wind and sand.

The air in the distance became cloudy, and the yellow sand was rolled up in the sky. Tang Yingxuan led the camel and stopped.

"The coffins disappeared overnight, perhaps because of a big storm and buried deeper in the desert by the sand, but there is another possibility." Tang Yingxuan said, looking at me.

I understood what Tang Yingxuan meant, he guessed that the coffin had been taken away.

Ordinary people will definitely be frightened when they see so many coffins in the desert, just like the village chief rumored by the villagers. Moreover, it is unlikely that ordinary people will carry so many mouths away, and if the coffin was really carried from the desert overnight, then the person who carried the coffin may have nothing to do with the case I am investigating.

Tang Yingxuan also came for this coffin, and it was impossible for him and the forces behind him to pay attention to a simple local rumor.

While I was thinking carefully, Tang Yingxuan led the camel and walked towards the road we had returned. As he walked, he told me that the windy sand in the desert would soon arrive, and that we had to get out of the desert quickly or we would be in danger. We didn't go too far into the desert, to be precise, the unpredictable weather was something we didn't expect.

Tang Yingxuan and I walked quickly, and after half an hour, we finally left the desert.

Tang Yingxuan told me expressionlessly, don't step into this desert easily, he has no obligation to protect my safety anymore, so even if I am in danger, he will not rescue me again.

Tang Yingxuan's face didn't have any expression, and I nodded at him with a complicated psychology. Tang Yingxuan led the camel and strode forward. Soon, he disappeared from my sight, and I was about to leave the village, but I suddenly remembered that there was another picture frame that I had put down in the dilapidated house just now.

I returned to the cold house, the sky outside was already cloudy, and there was no light in the room, and when I looked at the windowsill again, I remembered the bloody face that had just appeared. The smell in the house was very strong, and I inhaled a lot of dust, which was the smell of the precipitation of time.

I walked over to the table and picked up the frame I had just put down. The old man's sudden appearance made it impossible for me to look at the frame.

The frame was about twenty centimeters long, and in the dim light conditions, I could barely make out that it was a person, only the head and shoulders, and I took my phone out of my pocket and lit up the screen. My hands trembled slightly as the light from the blue screen shone on the frame, a black and white painting, simple but lifelike.

The painting depicts an old man with squinting eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

I immediately recognized that the person in the painting was somewhat similar to the old man who had just appeared in the window! The only difference is that the old man's face in the painting is intact, while the old man I just saw has a bloody face.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, but as I turned around, the footsteps stopped abruptly, and I didn't see anyone outside the door. Strange things kept happening, and I was very careful and slowly paced towards the door, and this time, I finally found the source of the footsteps.

It's not so much that I found it, but that this person was standing by the door waiting for me to come out.

It was a kid who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, and he was hiding by the door, but when I suddenly came out, he was startled. He screamed and ran to the side, and when he looked, there were several children standing, all of them standing there in horror.

The children who ran away alarmed the other children standing there, and they swarmed in the direction of the village.

Before I could ask what had happened, the children had disappeared from sight.
