Chapter 864: Overnight
"What's that?" Baili Chubby looked at it from afar, "Is it a village?" ”
"It's a fishing village." Cao Yuan looked down at the map, his brows furrowed slightly, "The map doesn't indicate that there is a fishing village here...... Is the scale too small and missed? ”
"It's so remote that there's not even a decent road, and it's at least a five-hour walk from here to the city, and it's not a big fishing village, so it's not surprising that it's not recorded on the map." An Qingyu paused, and added quietly:
"Of course, there may be some other reason......
Baili Chubby shuddered, "When you say that, I feel that this fishing village is even more evil...... Shall we go in? ”
"Of course you have to go in, the past and future of this fishing village are chaotic, which already says something, and the disappearance of the [Masquerade] team is inseparable from here." Lin Qiye said firmly, "But before that, let's send a message to the headquarters first, just in case." ”
Lin Qiye took out his mobile phone, contacted Zuo Qing, described his location and situation, and hung up the phone.
"Let's go, go in and see what's so special about this fishing village......"
Lin Qiye and the others packed up their bags and walked towards the fishing village in the distance, the tide in the dark was lapping on the shore, and the lights that were beating in the night were getting closer and closer to everyone, exuding a strange atmosphere.
Soon, the crowd was on the edge of the fishing village.
"Did you find anything?" An Qingyu asked in a low voice.
"No, judging from the current situation, this is an ordinary fishing village." Within this range, Lin Qiye's spiritual power had already swept the fishing village, "There are about twenty or thirty families in the village, most of them have already rested, and nothing abnormal has been found. ”
"There is no abnormality...... An Qingyu frowned slightly, "How should I check this?" ”
"The quickest way, of course, is to ask the villagers directly." Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and pointed to the few families that were still lit up, "Those families haven't slept yet, maybe you can give it a try." ”
"In the middle of the night, a few outsiders suddenly broke into the village and asked questions, it would scare people, right?" Baili chubby scratched his head.
"Leave it to me." Jia Lan patted her chest, "I'll pretend to be lost, go find a random family to spend the night, and then find an opportunity to ask the villagers if they have seen the people of the [Mask] team, and by the way, I can also get information about this village." ”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and nodded, "This method is feasible, but we haven't figured out the details of this village yet, so it's too dangerous for you to go alone......"
He turned his head to look at An Qingyu and Jiang Er, "Qingyu, Jiang Er, you guys go with Jia Lan." ”
An Qingyu raised her eyebrows, and a subtle expression appeared on her face, "Why don't you go with Jialan?" ”
"I'm going to take the [Voyeur Eye] and search around the village again to see if anything else I find." Lin Qiye shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay."
"Then I'll go to another house with Lao Cao and Brother Tu to spend the night." Baili Chubby took the initiative to ask for help.
"Yes, you can, but remember not to let Cao Yuan knock on the door, he doesn't look like a good person, he will scare the villagers."
Cao Yuan: ......
"Then let's split up tonight to collect clues, and come back here tomorrow morning to gather, if there is any accident during the period, don't worry too much, just make a move, the bigger the better, and the others will rush over immediately." Lin Qiye said solemnly to everyone.
"Roger!"
……
Late at night.
Tuk Tuk ——!
"Who?" A voice came from inside the old house.
The door opened, and a fisherman in his forties stood at the door with a vigilant expression, slightly stunned when he saw a man and a woman in front of him.
Both of them were raw faces, the woman was draped in a dark blue robe, her black hair was tied with a red rope at her waist, and her eyes were as bright as stars; The man is suave, wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and has a shy and kind smile.
Seeing these two harmless faces of humans and animals, the vigilance in the fishermen's eyes relaxed a little.
"Who are you? Where did it come from? ”
"Sorry to interrupt." An Qingyu bowed slightly, and said apologetically, "We came here to travel around here, and we accidentally got separated from the tour group, got lost again, and walked all the way to this village......
Now it's getting late, and we don't know the way, so we want to find a place to settle first, I don't know if it's inconvenient? ”
The fisherman looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Garan on the side.
"Uncle, it's really dark outside, and it's cold, can you borrow us an empty room to sleep in? If it really doesn't work, we can sleep on the ground......" Garan said pitifully.
When the fisherman heard this, the vigilance in his heart dissipated a little, and he looked at the two young men carefully, no matter how they looked like bad people, after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded.
"Okay, we still have an empty room in our house, you can sleep all night and leave tomorrow morning, understand?"
"Thank you."
"Thank you, uncle."
The fisherman took a step back and walked into the house, An Qingyu and Jia Lan glanced at each other, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths at the same time, and they walked into the house.
The fisherman's house is very simple, the living room has only a square table, a few benches, and the walls on all sides are densely hung with fishing tools.
The fisherman gestured to the vacant room and said, "That's it, it used to be my son's room, but now it has been uninhabited for a long time, so you can just take a look." ”
Garan snorted and stepped into the room.
An Qingyu turned his head, smiled and continued to talk with the fishermen:
"What's your last name?"
"My surname is Chen, my name is Chen Gou, and everyone in the village calls me Lao Gou." The fisherman casually moved a stool and sat down, and pointed to the opposite bench with his chin, signaling An Qingyu to sit down.
He reached out and took out a box of cigarettes in his arms, popped one out of it, and handed it to An Qingyu.
The corners of An Qingyu's mouth twitched slightly, she wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, she still reached out and took it.
"Uncle Chen." An Qingyu pretended to hold the cigarette in his hand and asked, "Usually, do you live alone?" ”
"Yes......" Chen Gou picked up a box of matches from the square table on the side, wiped it gently, and the faint sparks ignited, lighting the cigarettes in the hands of himself and An Qingyu, "My wife died of illness a few years ago, and my son walked out of this fishing village a few years ago and went outside." ”
An Qingyu looked back at the room that had not been inhabited for a long time, "You haven't been back for many years?" ”
"yes." Chen Gou's eyes stared at the room and smiled slightly, "However, this kid is the first child in our village to go out, and he can be regarded as giving him a long face." ”
