Alice is a very mobile person, and after making a decision, she went to look for clues in the scorching sun.

Zhou Jinru lay alone in the room and waited until more than three o'clock in the afternoon before going out.

Pushing open the door of the bar, a chill came over his face, and he saw that the acting mayor of Marcus was sitting in his place yesterday drinking.

"Mr. Aguang."

The middle-aged man said hello, put down his wine glass, and continued with the topic he had just had.

Zhou Jinru asked for a glass of soda and chose a secluded corner to sit, but the acting mayor's voice was too loud, and it still reached his ears.

"Abu has been sending letters and sending demons these days, I have to find a person who has been gone for decades, although Pingpan has not changed much over the years, but in the era when the mobile city has not yet formed, it is not worse than those places, the sea of people is vast, how to find it?"

Zhou Jinru's brows moved slightly, the Abu in Marcus's mouth should be the messenger he met, and most of them would not admit their mistake.

He put down his glass and his gaze fell on Marcus: "Mr. Mayor, I heard Abu talk about this, and the letter he sent has found its place?" ”

Marcus glanced back at Zhou Jinru, shook his head and said: "No, Oya Road was demolished and rebuilt, and it has long been very different from before, those residents back then were scattered all over the city, and some went to mobile cities, and now the news is not very well-informed, and it is basically impossible to find someone." ”

Zhou Jinru realized that the demolition of the world of Terra was different from the era in which he lived, and even the mobile city was only an intercity network at most, and it was impossible to connect the whole world by relying on cables and signal towers.

But what Marcus just meant seemed to know who Abu was looking for, or whether it was someone who was no longer there, which inevitably made him a little more curious.

However, Zhou Jinru's real purpose was to find a route back to Rhode Island, and even if he was curious, he didn't intend to spend too much energy on these things, so he didn't ask again.

The bartender stopped his movements, stared at Marcus's face, and wondered, "Could it be that the person Abu is looking for is that guy?" ”

But the topic was beyond Zhou Jinru's imagination, and it moved in a deeper direction.

Marcus took a sip of wine, and his tone was a little nostalgic: "Yes, it's the person you said." ”

After a dumb riddle, Zhou Jinru raised his hand helplessly: "There is a person here who is very confused about everything, can you let me see it?" ”

Fengho Man is not a stingy person, or he can't hold the acting mayor's shelf when he is in this bar, and said indifferently: "That was at least forty years ago, when I was a student, the city was still very lively, Oya Road was not demolished and rebuilt, and in a big house lived a strange old man, who lived alone, did not marry, had no relatives, and had no friends, and guarded his house every day until he died." ”

"An old man who lives alone and has experienced war?"

"No, he used to be a housekeeper, and before he owned the big house, it belonged to a couple, and then the couple died one after another, and finally left it to him."

Zhou Jinru raised his glass and saluted: "Please pour a glass of wine for Mr. Mayor, thank you." ”

The bartender quickly pulled out a bottle of wine from under the counter, poured a full glass and pushed it to Marcus.

"Didn't this person leave any name?"

"Yes, we all called him old Henry, he had a bit of a strange temper, he said something we didn't understand every day, and he liked to come to this bar for a drink, and then he died, and there were few things of value in the luxurious big house, and old Henry had no heirs, and the house ended up flat, and that's how the story ended."

Marcus took a sip from his glass, and the bartender, who was about his age, continued, "But not entirely absent, there were a few orphans living in the big house at the time, but unfortunately old Henry did not leave the inheritance to any of them. ”

"In this case, Abu can't find any useful clues, and even if there are still people who have survived the orphans, they may not remember any useful information."

Zhou Jinru finished drinking the soda, stood up and walked out, he had already inquired clearly, at least until next week, the messenger would not come back to run, and there would be the latest news from Rhode Island at that time.

The time has come to the evening, Zhou Jinru rides the black rose street and alley slowly open, under the plane tree, there are tables and benches, adults are busy with dinner, children chase and play, and the sound of insects is endless, which is in stark contrast to the fast-paced life of the big city.

In Zhou Jinru's memory, these pictures only belong to around the millennium, and he can't remember it anymore.

When a man was standing on the side of the road, a strange thought came to his mind: this place is really good, and if he dies one day, he can be buried in a nearby mountain.

This thought was quickly thrown out of Zhou Jinru's mind, and he said that he was really stunned, how could he say Zhang Shun's words about planting flags indiscriminately.

Walking to the convenience store on the side of the road and buying a can of soda, before he could turn around, a girl in hot pants with long red hair walked next to him, throwing a banknote on the counter: "Come pack cigarettes." ”

Zhou Jinru took the soda and left, without any intention of staying.

When he walked up to Black Rose, a girl's voice came from behind him: "Not interesting enough, right?" ”

He turned into the car, opened the can casually, and cast his gaze, when the sky darkened, and the eyes of the girl with long red hair showed a dark golden color, exuding a faint shimmer.

"The lead singer still smokes?"

The girl slipped the cigarette into her pocket and walked over quickly, with a strange tone in her voice: "Do you know who I am? ”

"I don't know, goodbye."

Zhou Jinru finished his drink, put the can into the glove basket hanging behind the car, kicked his feet and was about to leave.

"Wait, we've been chasing you all the way, is this how you receive guests?"

Where was Zhou Jinru willing to listen to her, pulled the turntable and left, saying that he was unwilling to communicate more.

Just kidding, the deep-sea salted fish came to the door in person, and it was too late for him to hide!

said that they chased all the way, Zhou Jinru didn't believe it, they didn't see it when they were in Victoria, and now they are alone, but they take the initiative to contact it, and there will be demons.

Seeing Zhou Jinru disappear into the night, the girl with long red hair stretched out her long legs and angrily kicked away the stones on the side of the road, turned around and left.

……

……

When Zhou Jinru returned to the hotel, he saw Su Yu sitting at the door, still holding a tome in his hand.

"Coming back?"

Zhou Jinru parked the car in the yard, and glanced at it from her hand, without a head or tail, he didn't understand it very well, in short, it was the type he could fall asleep by looking at it.
