He didn't care about the resentful gaze that followed him.

The more Du Shiyu looked at Su Zhiyuan's face, the more annoyed she became, and she wanted to strangle him immediately.

Anping Town is small in size, and the hostel is located in the center of the town, and soon they are on the edge of the town, where an old man is leaning against the fence and snorting dry tobacco in his mouth.

It seems that the old man is living a relatively poor life, his clothes are very shabby, patches are stacked on top of him, his trouser legs are covered with mud, and his two slightly open eyes are cloudy, and he may have lost his sight.

The fence behind him was dirty and messy, and it was probably used to raise pigs and donkeys, but now it was only a mess of straw mixed with muddy water, and a foul smell came from the wind from time to time.

Pei Qian looked at the old man from a distance for a while, then walked forward with his hands behind his back and very naturally.

Dui Shiyu's heart moved, and he also wanted to follow to take a look, but was stopped by Zhou Rong.

Pei Gan, who came to the old man's side, leaned on the fence next to him without hesitation, and after a while, the two old men of the same age began to talk.

Gradually, the old man seemed to be interested, and even turned around and pointed at the fence, as if he was introducing something to Pei Gan.

Ten minutes later, Pei Qian said goodbye and left.

The simple old man shuddered and took out a crumpled homemade cigarette roll from the broken pocket that had been sewn and mended, and wanted to give it to Pei Gan.

Pei Gan politely declined, but the old man seemed to have a temper, and asked him to accept it, Pei Gan nodded, and thanked the old man after accepting it.

Then he walked back to his team.

"Old Man Pei," Zhou Rong said as he walked, "Is there a clue about that woman?" ”

Pei Gan nodded, put the hard-won cigarette in his mouth, and didn't smoke it, as if he was feeling the taste of belonging to this era.

"The woman is not from the town, she is from a nearby village." He slowly spoke, "I came here about half a month ago, saying that her husband was missing, and then I took a few portraits and looked around, looking crazy, everyone in the neighborhood has seen her." ”

Jiang Zhongyi leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Her husband disappeared in the town?" ”

Pei Qian shook his head, "No, it's in the village where they are." ”

Penfolds, who had never spoken, frowned, raised his head and said in confusion: "Since he disappeared in the village, he should look for it near the village, what to find in the town?" ”

Penfolds' question represents the confusion of others, which is indeed counterintuitive.

Everyone looked at Pei Gan in unison, it was impossible for him not to be aware of such an obvious problem, and after a moment of silence, Pei Gan paused and looked in one direction.

As far as he could see, it was a winding dirt road, perhaps it had rained last night, and the road was potholed and muddy.

In the distance, there are mountains in the distance, and at the foot of the mountains is a lush forest.

It was getting late, but there were no birds returning to their nests, and no insects and beasts were singing, and the mountains and forests showed a strange sense of tranquility, as if they were ...... Dead as well.

After watching it for a long time, it's even a little weird.

Zhou Rong seemed to realize something, looked at Pei Qian with an indescribable look, and said in a strange tone: "That village...... Right in the mountains? ”

Pei Gan nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "That man warned me, don't care about that woman, let alone sympathize with her, no matter what we do, leave as soon as we are done, and don't meddle in things." ”

Yu Man pursed her lips and suddenly asked, "Why?" ”

"Because of that village," Pei Qian turned around and stared at her with a long look, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "He said...... The affairs of that village are not for people to meddle in. ”

The crowd chuckled in their hearts.

Task...... It's finally here.

It was getting late, the sun was setting faster than expected, and before I walked back to the hostel, it was already half dark.

In such a strange world, darkness always gives people a sense of death, everyone quickens their pace, and the streets that are quite familiar during the day suddenly become strange.

Buildings are hidden in the hazy darkness, like ghosts disguised and ready to choose people to devour.

Nightlife was far less prosperous than it is now, especially in remote towns like this, where they went to bed almost as soon as it got dark.

The lack of entertainment at night has also led to a high birth rate.

Of course, at present, Su Zhiyuan is the only one who is in the mood to worry about the country and the people in this regard.

Everyone else is in a worried hurry.

Fortunately, Anping Hotel is a landmark building in the town, and the four corners are hung with large red lanterns, which are very conspicuous at night.

Closer to the hostel, they were surprised to find that the door of the hostel was not closed, and there were many people standing outside the door.

About 8, 9 pcs.

Among them, the boss I saw in the afternoon was blocked in front of the door, his face was red, and he was carrying a wooden stick in his hand, as if he was arguing with another group of people.

The sound of quarrels mixed with dialects could be heard far away in the silent night.

As a few people approached, some of the people who were arguing with the boss noticed them, and then the rest of the people rushed over.

"You're here to help us!" A man in his mid-60s was helped over.

He was clearly in charge of the group, and everyone else surrounded him, "despicable...... The contemptible person is the village chief of Xiaoshijian Village, cough ...... Ahem, the contemptible surname is Liu. ”

The man who claimed to be Village Chief Liu seemed to be very excited when he saw them, and he grabbed Zhou Rong's hand and didn't let go, as if he believed that these people in front of him were his saviors.

His whole body trembled, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was in tears.

The others around him also began to cry.

Zhou Rong behaved very calmly, neither agreed nor denied, but simply responded: "Hello, Village Chief Liu, you are ......"

A tall man next to him said excitedly: "We heard that you have arrived in Anping Town, no, the village chief specially brought us to meet you!" ”

The man's height is 2 meters, half a head taller than Su Zhiyuan, his face is dark, his physique is extremely strong, and he stands in the night, like a god.

The red lantern light set off the bulging muscles of the man's body with angular.

Jiang Zhongyi, the thinnest of the several people, couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, he suspected that the man could kill him with his muscles.

In the subsequent exchanges, several people confirmed that the so-called Xiaoshijian Village was the village in the mouth of the old man who handed the cigarette, and the location was also in the mountains behind him.

And their identity is that they have been invited by the village to help.

This "busy" ...... Presumably the task itself.

Now that the location of the mission has been determined, it is time to go.

They agreed with the village chief that they would meet in front of the inn early tomorrow morning, and then go with them to Xiaoshijian Village.
