Ma Xiaoquan sneaked to the back wall of Xiaohua's house and listened to the noise in the house. After listening for a long time, no one spoke.
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes, thinking that it was dinner time in the evening, and someone at Xiaohua's house should be eating at least.
With doubts, Ma Xiaoquan secretly walked around to the front yard to take a look, and shook his head helplessly.
"There's no one in the room..." Ma Xiaoquan muttered softly.
"Is it still the private house she passed by before?" Ma Xiaoquan guessed and decided to go to the private house where Xiaohua went before.
...
That private house is not far from Xiaohua's home. If you take the village road, you can get there in a few dozen breaths. But... Ma Xiaoquan can't take the village road. If any villager comes out and sees him, then
It's revealed.
Fortunately, there is only one road in this village. Although you can walk to every house in other places that have not yet been opened or not visited by many people, it is longer and more difficult to walk than the small roads.
, of course, the concealment will be relatively better.
After a while, it was completely dark. At this time, Ma Xiaoquan saw that most of the houses had oil lamps or turned on lights.
"What do the villagers in this village do?" Ma Xiaoquan, full of doubts, quietly came to the private house where Xiaohua entered before.
There was a dark yellow light in the house, which must have been caused by the burning of an oil lamp. Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes, carefully leaned against the door, and listened to what was going on inside with his ears.
In the house, Xiao Hua was nestling in Niu Er's arms, groping the dark hair on his chest with her right hand. Niu Er was also pinching Xiao Hua's butt unscrupulously, and while squeezing, he said with joy: "That person who comes to the village,
Don’t you have your way? It seems that you are not good enough at this time? Haha..."
Xiaohua rolled her eyes at Niu Er and pushed him away: "Don't say sarcastic words. Do you think that man is stupid? Not all men are as greedy when they see women as cats are when they see fish...
....”
"Oh? Does that mean that man has strong concentration?"
"No, that's not..." Xiaohua squinted her eyes and said, "I can feel that man's hunger, but he seems to have other things..."
"Other things, from the way that man speaks with a Beijing accent, could it be Ma Xiaoquan?"
Outside the house, Ma Xiaoquan was shocked when he heard someone say his name. Could it be that Musa's claim that he was helping him remove the Assassin's League mark was a lie?
"It doesn't look like it..." Xiaohua shook her head.
"Eh? You didn't know that. It's said that Ma Xiaoquan knows the art of disguise, and his clothes are perfect..."
"Then do you want me to take a chance and test it?" Xiaohua said.
"Well, that's fine. By the way, where did that idiot Niu Dan go?"
"I should have gone to the mountains to see that old fool, Lao Wang..."
"Haha, that guy Lao Wang knows how to deceive people, and then kills them when he sees an opportunity. Tell me, how many times has Lao Wang done this... I want to play with him.
..." Niu Er said with a smile.
"Humph, Niu Er, you heartless one, if you date him, I will date another man, and I will serve him like a charm, let's see what you do..."
Niu Er laughed, took Xiao Hua into his arms, pinched her face and said, "You dare?"
Xiaohua didn't show any weakness: "Why don't I dare? You won't marry me. I might as well find a fool like a cow egg and live my life..."
"Ha...do you dare? Do you know that we are the ones who betrayed the Assassin's League, and our lives are always hanging..."
Outside the house, Ma Xiaoquan was stunned again. Xiaohua and Niu Er were the people who betrayed the Assassin League? Why did they betray? And Niu Er said that their lives have been hanging... So can we think that they
Have you been avoiding the Assassin's League?
There is also Lao Wang who lives next door to Niu Dan's house. Listening to Niu Er and Xiao Hua's tone, they seem to be very familiar with each other. Well, this village is getting more and more strange.
In the room, the conversation between Xiaohua and Niu Er continued, but the content of the conversation at this time was not what Ma Xiaoquan wanted to hear.
...
Returning to Niu Dan's home, Niu Dan has not come back yet. Ma Xiaoquan muttered: "How far has Niu Dan followed this guy? Why hasn't he come back yet? It's really strange..."
Having said that, Ma Xiaoquan is not worried, because from the previous conversation with Lao Wang's wife next door, Ma Xiaoquan knew that Niu Dan is from here. Since he is from here, he who is born and raised here will definitely not get lost. Of course, if Niu Dan
Dan has never come back, and it cannot be ruled out that he was discovered by Lao Wang and the others.
It's just that... Lao Wang and Xiao Hua Niu'er know each other, and Lao Wang is traveling all over the mountain with a few financial backers from the capital. This relationship is really messy and complicated...
Just when Ma Xiaoquan couldn't clear his thoughts, the door suddenly opened.
Ma Xiaoquan was shocked and thought to himself, it couldn't be Xiaohua, coming to see me so soon?
When I turned around and looked again, it turned out to be a cow egg.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Niu Dan chuckled, walked up to Ma Xiaoquan mysteriously, wiped his dark face with his hand, and said: "Uncle, do you guess what I saw today?"
"What? How do I know?" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand impatiently, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"Uncle, I'm going to tell you, but you can't tell others, otherwise we will both die."
"Okay, let's talk..."
Niu Dan looked around and whispered: "Uncle, I followed Lao Wang secretly today, and I found that the old guy talked about digging for treasures, but in fact there is no treasure. He is looking for trouble to harm those people from the capital."
"Huh? Really?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows, thinking that he already knew these things when he eavesdropped on Xiaohua and Niu Er's conversation before. As expected, there is something wrong with that Lao Wang.
"Then you didn't let them show up, right?" Ma Xiaoquan said deliberately nervously.
"No, no, the little ones around the village are so familiar that they can walk back blindfolded." Niu Dan patted his chest confidently.
"Then when you look at Lao Wang, how do you harm others?"
Niu Dan said: "He led people to the ditch that none of us villagers wanted to go to. Oh, uncle, you didn't know that there were monsters in that ditch. Anyone who didn't pay attention would be eaten by the monsters.
....”
"Eat it?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head, "Where are the monsters? I'm afraid you are spreading rumors about them, right?"
"No, no, it's true, uncle, it really does exist. When my father was still alive, he said he had seen that monster. It was very big and had long fangs..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. The more backward a place is, the more superstitious people are.
"Okay, so did Lao Wang kill anyone?"
"Dead, dead..." Niu Dan nodded and confirmed.
Ma Xiaoquan asked again: "All killed?"
Niu Dan snorted: "Yes, yes, anyway, I saw that Lao Wang had pushed them all into the ditch, and they shouldn't be able to climb up..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "In this case, then tomorrow morning, you can take me there to have a look."
"Ah? Uncle, I... I don't dare..." Niu Dan said in fear.
"If you don't dare, I'll give this to you, keep it to strengthen your courage~" Ma Xiaoquan took out an ingot of gold ingot and threw it to Niu Dan.
Niu Dan didn't know what Ma Xiaoquan threw, but when he caught it and took a look in his hand, he realized it was a gold ingot.
Niu Dan was startled and almost screamed. Then he knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan with a bang and said: "Uncle, this... so many..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Well, yes, it's a lot. Are you still afraid now? If you are afraid, just return the money to me. Hey, but you and that little flower will have to be a couple forever...
"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan mentioned Xiaohua, Niudan's eyes lit up and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I'm done, I'll take you there tomorrow."
"Okay~~"
...
The next day it was still dark, so Ma Xiaoquan asked Niu Dan to lead the way to find the ditch.
Niu Dan asked Ma Xiaoquan whether he should take the shortcut or the main road. If he took the shortcut, he could get there sooner.
Ma Xiaoquan said to take a shortcut, Niu Dan looked at Ma Xiaoquan, wondering if he could keep up, but because of the ingot of gold ingot Ma Xiaoquan had, Niu Dan did not dare to speak.
What Niu Dan didn't expect was that the old man's foot power was much better than he expected. If it weren't for him guiding the way, the old man might have walked in front of him.
About an hour and a half later, Niu Dan brought Ma Xiaoquan to a long dry ditch.
"Uncle, this is right here..." Niu Dan pointed at the dry ditch.
"Oh, it's right here, um~~" Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin, picked up a small stone, and threw it down the dry ditch.
After about a breath and a half, an echo came from the ditch. Ma Xiaoquan murmured: "This ditch is very deep. I guess it would have been deeper if there was water before."
"Yes, yes, my father said this when he was still alive, but then suddenly there was no water. The elders in the village said that someone did something shameful in this ditch and offended the gods, so the gods punished them.
Already."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes, shook his head and said: "How can there be any gods? Well, but since it is a dry ditch, you should be able to go down."
"Go down?" Niu Dan was startled, and quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Uncle, uncle, I really don't dare to go down. The ditch is so deep and black and you can't see anything. What if there are gods and monsters?
?What if we go down and get eaten?"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes again. He knew that Niudan would definitely not dare to go into the dry ditch.
"Okay, then keep an eye on me and I'll go down and have a look~~"
