Qian Zechen's eldest sister directly stunned Shi Hui, and she immediately turned her head to look at Meiling.

Unexpectedly, Meiling didn't pay attention to it, nor did she show any displeasure, but she turned her head and glanced at him lightly, and beckoned a bus casually.

Senpai likes this kid, for sure!

The bus took the three of them on a remote country road and stopped on the side of the road where there were a little more people.

"This is the main street of Jingyi County"

Meiling only briefly introduced, and walked straight to the middle of the street, saying that it was the main street but it was not lively, the whole street was gray and dull, and the pedestrians were also very silent, the two of them followed behind and looked around curiously, there was no infrastructure, the low green tiles and white walls of the houses were scattered around, most of the shops on the street were closed, and there were quite a lot of vendors who set up stalls, and their heads were all wrapped with strips of dark cloth, and coarse cloth kaftan embellished with bright patterns, and they were all dressed in exotic styles. They squatted or sat behind their wares, each stall would be separated by a few meters from each other, there was no conversation between the stall owners, and the things they sold were very strange, snakes, insects, birds and beasts, and there was even a card with Sanskrit written on it that they could not understand.

The street is not long, and it is only two or three hundred meters at a glance.

"I don't even have a place to eat!"

Qian Zechen was already hungry, and after getting out of the car, he couldn't find a restaurant for a long time, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't these people eat?"

"Shh

Shi Hui reminded him to be quiet, and the eyes of the people around him were projected on the three of them, mostly inquisitive and curious, but it didn't feel friendly, more like looking at the goods, and some of the vendors looked up at her, rubbing their chins with their big scarred hands, with a weird smile.

"It's a hundred meters ahead" Meiling was not affected by the eyes around her at all, she still looked indifferent, and her tone was very calm.

"Where?" Shi Hui looked at her and asked, "Where did you live before?" ”

"Hmm"

——

Meiling led them into a narrow and narrow passage, passing through them one by one, and their vision was open.

As if they had come to another world, a small village with beautiful mountains and rivers appeared in front of them, with green mountains in the distance, a stream at the foot of the mountain, and a large expanse of land with about a dozen residential houses, white walls and green tiles, and the surrounding silence was only the sound of birds and insects.

"This place is really nice, the environment is quiet, the air is fresh" Qian Zechen was also shocked by the scenery in front of him, "It's like a paradise"

"That's right" Shi Hui also likes this atmosphere.

The third room to the east is Meiling's residence, three rooms side by side, and a kitchen in front of it.

The left and right rooms are side bedrooms, and the middle room is the reception room.

There is not much furniture in the house, wood-colored furniture, the walls are full of handicrafts, simple and stylish, the east is the master bedroom, there are several bouquets of dried flowers on the dresser, a rattan chair by the window, the floor is covered with colorful carpets, and the west bedroom has only a bed and a cabinet.

"Shi Hui lives in the East House with me" Meiling put down the salute in her hand, and said to Qian Zechen, "You sleep in another room"

"Good" "OK"

"Wait, I'll order food back and forth"

"Yes, food?" Shi Hui heard that she was going out to beg for food, so she immediately got up from her chair and said, "It's not good"

"Where? I'm with you" Qian Zechen is really hungry, no matter what way she uses, as long as she has something to eat.

"It's been a long time since I've been here, I don't have much food at home, I'll go next door to ask for some" Meiling opened the cabinet in the window next to her, took out a large bowl, turned her head and said, "You just wait here." Then he turned and went out, his steps fast and light.

"She must have begged for food a lot," Qian Zechen looked at her back and asserted.

The two followed out and watched Meiling walk about a hundred meters west and enter a room.

Qian Zechen is indeed not wrong, Meiling herself does not know how to cook, she often brings a bowl to this family to eat, but she will pay for the meal regularly, even if the other party does not accept it, she will stay strongly.

Only a widowed old lady lives in this room, who is in her sixties this year, and is very good to Meiling, as her own granddaughter.

"Grandma" Meiling walked in with a bowl, called out with a smile, and then said, "I'm back~"

The old lady came out of the back room on crutches, her gray hair covered under the embroidered turban, and her face was full of smiles: "Nannan, you are finally back, I miss you to death" The old lady opened her mouth in the strong local dialect, fortunately, Meiling has been here for a long time and can understand it.

"It's a bit long this time, do you have anything to eat at home?" Meiling stepped forward and hugged her, saying, "I also brought back two friends, but I didn't eat"

"Yes" The old lady nodded, looked at her distressedly and said, "You have lost weight, I will make up for it for you when you come back"

"Okay~"

Meiling's attitude and tone at this time were softer than anyone else had ever seen, and she had a coquettish tone.

Half an hour later,

Meiling came back, with a big bowl full of rice in her hand, which looked very much like pilaf in Xinjiang, and carried a bag containing local snacks, the old lady was afraid that they would not have enough to eat, so she had to bring it back together.

"When are we going to find the spirit?" After eating, Shi Hui wanted to start looking for someone,

"I'll go to the village chief's house later"

Although it is a county seat, the management method is very traditional, about twenty households will have a township head, similar to the village head in other places, Jingyi County has nearly ten township heads, all of which belong to the largest local ruler - He Chuan Meiling will take them to the nearest township head's house to inquire first, and if not, then replace the next one.

"Who?" Shi Hui was stunned for a moment when she heard the name of this person in power, and confirmed, "Senior sister, you said that the person with the most power is called He Chuan?" ”

Meiling nodded, puzzled, "What?" Know? ”

Shi Hui squatted in the suitcase and rummaged through, then took out a note and handed it to Meiling, with He Chuan's name and phone number written on it.

"Where did this come from?" Meiling looked at her with a look of surprise.

"Zhi'an gave it to me, saying that it was his classmate, and I could ask him for help if I had something."

“........”

"Why don't you call him directly, it might work faster, how about it?" Shi Hui asked

"Let's try it" Qian Zechen answered on the side, "This person has so much power, if Zhou Ling is here, he will definitely know"

People may not be able to know, but he has the power to gather all the township chiefs together, and save them from running away from home to house.

Meiling handed the number to Shi Hui and said, "You call and see if you can get through." ”

——

The phone rang for the first time and no one answered, and the second time, a woman's voice came, "Hello, who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello, I want to find Mr. He Chuan" Shi Hui hurriedly replied,

"Who are you?"

"My name is Shi Hui, and I'm from Qimiao Town."

"Wait a minute"
