Chapter 1733 Bitter Fruit (22)

"So that's it."

Although he discovered a little secret about the old lady, Fu Qian did not reveal it, nor did she even need her to explain in more detail how her husband disappeared.

In a dark and dangerous place, even a place where relatives have disappeared, you still face an unknown person.

In such a situation, no one with a normal mind would be able to casually mention what he relied on to save his life.

In fact, the old lady said a lot just in what she just said.

It should be as inferred before that, supported by such an obsession, she has reached her limit and needs to find someone to talk to before she can continue to persevere.

"But I'm sorry, I came all the way over there and I really haven't seen a person like you said."

But the next moment, Fu Qian still pointed to the empty space behind him.

"...Have you been there already?"

It was obvious that the old lady couldn't hide her disappointment at Fu Qian's answer, especially after she saw clearly the direction he was pointing.

It was a location far away from the town, even more remote than where Ms. Sara lived.

Dusty roads, factory buildings, various large-scale tools, and disorderly piles of earth...

Of course Fu Qian didn't come from that direction, but he knew that neither did the old lady.

When I sensed it just now, the other party's search route was still very clear.

Although she was in danger, she still very wisely tried to stay as close to the residential area as possible and try to have a house nearby that she could hide in at any time.

But that doesn't mean she has always had this self-control.

From the occasional pauses and stares, it can be clearly seen that the old lady has been eager to try the area with a higher risk level after searching the nearby area many times and still finding nothing.

Considering that the probability that she would really find her missing husband there was almost non-existent, Fu Qian didn't mind telling a white lie and asking her for a favor.

"Nothing."

Nod before paying the next moment.

"Then I heard a strange sound near here, so I came over here. Didn't you hear it?"



"...what sound?"

Regarding Fu Qian's statement, the old lady was visibly disappointed and felt that she didn't really believe it.

However, after a moment of silence, she finally did not raise any questions.

When she expressed confusion about the previous question, it could be seen that her tone and expression were quite natural.

"Crying, a strange sound of a child crying."

She just sighed softly before responding to this. Although she had basically guessed it just now, the old lady's reaction at this moment undoubtedly confirmed that she really did not hear the cry she made.

Although there is no tree baby following this time, is it still so targeted?

"No……"

She looked around unconsciously as she spoke, and it could be heard from the old lady's tone that what Fu Qian said clearly made Heiye a little more frightened.

"Maybe I'm too tired and hallucinating. Mainly, it's too hard to find this place."

He didn't dwell on this point. He casually found an excuse and looked at the prostrate buildings in the darkness.

"Can you do me a favor? I'm looking for someone. If possible, it would be best to lead me there."

The next moment, he was not able to help, so he unceremoniously asked for help.

She gives directions outside and administers medicine in her dream. Judging from various performances, the old lady should still be a warm-hearted person.

"Who are you looking for? Most of the people in this place are already gone..."

As expected, it did not disappoint. The old lady hesitated for a while and really did not refuse.

"A young man, tall and strong..."

Fu Qian was naturally referring to one of the four people who had never spoken in the healing dream, and he casually described more details about his appearance.

Thinking on the bright side, there are not many people left, so it is obviously easier for the old lady to help with identity retrieval.

The reason why I chose this guy is because during a casual encounter, his attire was obviously more in line with the style of the area. I commented at the time that he looked a bit like a miner.

Although the old lady's body is still strong, she will not be so tired if she is closer.

"This person you are talking about... I can take you to see him, but I'm not sure it must be him."

At this moment, after thinking for a while, the other party nodded.



"So have everyone here moved away?"

The old lady moved very quickly. Once she decided to help, she walked directly to the front.

And although he still had no intention of finding a lamp to light, his pace could be described as steady as he walked through the halls and rooms.

It was obvious that she had become extremely familiar with this place after traveling through the night countless times.

At the same time with emotion, Fu Qian, who was following steadily, also asked for more information about Akons.

"Well...at dawn one day at first, most of the people were gone, as if they were all hurrying on their way at night."

The old lady sounded like she didn't mind chatting with people, although the impression she described was a bit scary.

"Then every night, the number of people continued to decrease..."

It doesn't sound very good. Under such circumstances, it's really not surprising that there would be a strange story at night.

Before paying, I listened and commented.

Even though I haven't had the chance to meet that "it" yet, from what I've seen and heard so far, it's obvious that Akons is a very unusual place as mentioned before.

There are also buildings and humanities with a sense of age, which really make people curious as to what form they exist in.

"Can you still hear the crying now?"

At this time, the old lady had not forgotten the strange thing that Fu Qian had just mentioned, so she asked abruptly.

Although the slope was gentle along the way, the height difference between the two people was still obvious, and they were already quite some distance away from where they were just now.

"It's a pity, but it's still okay."

In response to this concern, I just shook my head, indicating that there was no improvement.

Of course, in fact, it was more than that. As he spoke, he deftly dug his fingers into his ribs, pulled out a bubbling blood clot, and threw it away.

The crying sound was indeed not just to scare me, but as time accumulated, special changes finally appeared.

Similar to the "Heart Blow" that Sarah had performed before, the abnormal changes in blood flow were erupting on her body without any warning, almost like a curse, and continued to gather towards the heart unswervingly.

Although this is not a big problem for Fu Qian yet, it would undoubtedly be frightening if the old lady saw him, so he tried to deal with it as concealedly as possible.

The old lady didn't ask too persistently, and quickly continued on her way, but——

laugh!

A moment later, there was a soft sound, and the old lady, who had been moving in the dark all the way, actually lit a lantern without saying a word.

"It should be right in front——"

And with the light, which was not too strong, she turned her head and looked over as she spoke.
