Chapter 110 Xiaoshijian Village


Chapter 110 Xiaoshi Jian Village

He didn't care at all about the vicious gaze following him.

The more Chen Xiaomeng looked at Jiang Cheng's face, the more annoyed she became, and she wanted to strangle him immediately.

Anping Town is not large, and the hotel is located in the center of the town. Soon they reached the edge of the town, where an old man was leaning on the fence, smoking a dry cigarette.

It seems that the old man's life is relatively poor. His clothes are very shabby, with patches piled on top of each other. His trouser legs are stained with mud. His two slightly opened eyes look cloudy, and he may have lost his sight.

The fence behind them was dirty and messy. They probably used to raise livestock such as pigs and donkeys, but now there was only messy straw mixed with muddy water, and from time to time a stench came from the wind.

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

Chen Xiaomeng thought about it and wanted to follow him to have 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. After a while, the two old men of similar age started talking.

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

Ten minutes later, Pei Gan said goodbye and left.

The simple old man stopped him, and shiveringly took out a crumpled homemade cigarette from his torn pocket that had been sewn and mended, and wanted to give it to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian politely declined, but the old man seemed to have a bad temper and kept asking him to accept it. Pei Qian nodded, accepted it and thanked the old man.

Then walked back to his team.

"Mr. Pei," Zhou Rong asked as he walked away, "Do you have any clues about that woman?"

Pei Gan nodded and held the hard-earned cigarette in his mouth without smoking, as if he was feeling the taste of this era.

"That woman is not from the town, but from a nearby village." He said slowly, "She came here about half a month ago, saying that her husband was missing, and then she took a few portraits and looked around. She looks crazy. Everyone around here has seen her.”

Jiang Zhongyi hunched over and asked in a low voice. "Her husband disappeared in the town?"

Pei Gan shook his head, "No, it was in the village where they were."

Benfu, who had never spoken, frowned, raised his head and said doubtfully : "Since he disappeared in the village, we should look for him near the village. What are we looking for in the town?"

Penfolds' problems represent confusion for others, which is counterintuitive.

Everyone looked at Pei Qian. It was impossible for him not to be aware of such an obvious problem. After a moment of silence, Pei Qian paused and looked in one direction.

Looking along his line of sight, it was a winding dirt road. Maybe it had just rained last night, and the road was full of potholes and very muddy.

Looking from a distance, there are mountains in the distance, and at the foot of the mountains are lush dense forests.

It was getting late, but there were no birds returning to their nests, and no insects or beasts were heard. The mountains and woods took on a strange sense of tranquility, as if they were dead.

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

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

Pei Qian nodded. He said in a hoarse voice: "The man warned me not to care about that woman, let alone sympathize with her. No matter what we came to do, we should leave as soon as we are done. Don't mind your own business."

Yu Man pursed his lips and suddenly asked: "Why?"

"Because of that village," Pei Gan turned around and said with a long voice. He stared at her with his eyes, and after a long while, he slowly said: "He said, no one can interfere with the affairs in that village."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

The mission is finally here.

It is getting late, and the sunset here is setting faster than expected. Before I even walk back to the hotel, it is already half dark.

In such a strange world, darkness always gives people a meaning related to death. Everyone quickened their pace. The streets that were still familiar during the day suddenly seemed strange at this moment.

Buildings are hidden in the hazy darkness, like ghosts in disguise, ready to choose people to eat.

The nightlife in that era was far less prosperous than it is now, especially in such a remote town. Everyone 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, Jiang Cheng is the only one who is currently in the mood to worry about the country and the people.

Others are rushing on their way worriedly.

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

As they got closer to the hotel, they were surprised to find that not only was the door of the hotel open, but there were also many people standing outside the door.

About 8 or 9.

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

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

As several people approached, some of the people arguing with the boss noticed them, and then the remaining people swarmed over.

"You are the experts here to help us!" A man about 60 years old was helped over.

He is obviously the one in charge of this group of people, and the others are surrounding him, "I. I am the village chief of Xiaoshijian Village. Ahem, my surname is Liu."

The man who called himself Village Chief Liu seemed very excited when he saw them. He grabbed Zhou Rong's hand and refused to let go. He seemed to believe that these people in front of him were his saviors.

His whole body was trembling, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he was crying.

Other people around him also started to cry.

Zhou Rong acted very calmly, neither agreeing nor denying, but simply responded: "Hello, Village Chief Liu, what are you doing?"

A tall and strong man next to him said excitedly: "We heard you were arriving. Anping Town, no, the village chief brought us here to greet you!”

The man is at least 2 meters tall, half a head taller than Jiang Cheng. He has a dark complexion and is extremely strong. In the night, he looks like a door god.

The red lantern light made the bulging muscles on the man's body look angular.

When Jiang Zhongyi, the thinnest among them, saw him, he couldn't help but swallowed secretly. He suspected that the man could pinch him to death with his muscles.

In the subsequent exchanges, several people confirmed that the so-called Xiaoshijian Village was the village mentioned by the old man Diyan, and that it was located in the mountains behind him.

And their identities are people invited by the village to help.

This "busy" must be related to the task itself.

Now that the mission location has been determined, it’s time to set off.

They made an agreement with the village chief to meet in front of the hotel tomorrow morning, and then follow them to Xiaoshijian Village. Second update
