Chapter 145 A Hundred Years Ago [02] The Mission Begins, Encountering Jiang Ke Again
Under Mo Qing's organization, Goblin and Song Yiyuan packed up and prepared to go to Qingqiao Town the next day.
However, they really disagree.
To be fair, Qingqiao Town is really not as remote as Gejia Village.
However, I couldn't bear the series of problems such as delayed flights, missed buses, and car accidents.
In short, by the time the three of them arrived in Qingqiao Town in disgrace, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
The three of them walked out of the bus station in the town carrying their luggage.
This is a small town with a small area and a low sense of presence. In addition, due to the loss of population in recent years, the infrastructure of this town is still the same as it was twenty years ago.
It even has an air of depression and decline.
It was only ten o'clock in the evening, and not a single pedestrian was seen on the road.
"Boss, have you booked the hotel?" Song Yiyuan threw his backpack on his shoulder, looked at the empty street, and asked Mo Qing.
"Um."
"Where's the car?" Song Yiyuan asked again.
Mo Qing looked at Goblin: "Where is the car?"
"The crew said they would send someone to pick them up. Let me ask." Goblin took out his mobile phone and made a call.
The other party didn't answer.
Goblin dialed three times in a row before getting a response.
After a while, Goblin came back and said: "The driver said he was here early, but we arrived too late, so he went back again. Now he is rushing towards us."
Mo Qing asked: "How long will it take?"
Goblin weakly stretched out a finger: "One hour."
"..."
"..."
Both Mo Qing and Song Yiyuan chose to remain silent.
After standing for a while, Song Yiyuan couldn't hold it in anymore and coughed lightly: "Who contacted the crew?"
Goblin adjusted his hat and said, "Me."
"What method was used?" Song Yiyuan asked.
“A staff member of their crew posted online saying that their crew was haunted, so I used my identity as a magician to contact them,” Goblin explained. “Our department has always used this method.”
Song Yiyuan was shocked: "Didn't you use the relationship?"
Goblin didn't know why: "What's the relationship?"
"..."
Song Yiyuan raised his hand to his forehead.
No wonder the three of them are so ignored.
"The operations department takes on a variety of tasks and often encounters this kind of thing, so before accepting a task, it will be planned in advance."
Speaking of this, Song Yiyuan sighed: "We have a unified ID that can be shown. Generally, if we find an intermediary and show it, they will automatically raise our identity and ask for our help."
"Oh, that certificate!" Goblin thought of this, "I applied for it, but it was not approved. They said that our department has no people and no tasks, so there is no point in getting it."
Song Yiyuan had no hope for Goblin.
He looked at Mo Qing.
Mo Qing was indeed very reliable and said, "I'm filing a report and applying."
Goblin: "..."
Song Yiyuan: "..."
It doesn’t mean much if you don’t apply or not.
Hanging his backpack on his shoulders, Mo Qing hooked his hand towards them: "Let's go."
Goblin didn't know why: "Where to go?"
Mo Qing said: "Find a shop and have a late night snack."
Goblin and Song Yiyuan looked at each other.
The huge street is lonely and desolate as far as the eye can see. No one opens the door along the street. Where can you get a "late night snack"?
Mo Qing took care of himself and walked away.
The two of them glanced at Mo Qing's back and felt that she was confident, so they exchanged glances and followed Mo Qing's pace.
They followed Mo Qing for a few minutes and entered a remote and narrow path.
There were no lights on the roadside and it was dark.
After walking forward for another three minutes, when the eerie feeling finally broke out, a bright light appeared in front of me.
Goblin and Song Yiyuan both walked faster.
Finally, when we reached the exit, the front suddenly became clear. The street had gained some "popularity", there were not many people, the street lights were on alone, and occasionally a few stores were open.
Goblin spotted a hot pot restaurant directly opposite.
He turned around in surprise.
Mo Qing slowly walked out of the dark alley, and a layer of dim yellow light enveloped her.
"How do you know there is a store here?" Goblin asked doubtfully.
Mo Qing shook his phone: "Map."
Two people: "..."
Good guy.
Completely forgot about this one.
*
Mo Qing, Song Yiyuan, and Goblin had a barbecue. When the driver called, Goblin realized that he had forgotten to tell the driver their new address.
Goblin apologized on the phone and gave the driver another seat.
The driver was cursing on the phone.
"I did a search. Qingqiao Town is such a big place, and it only took me a few hours to walk around." Song Yiyuan started to get angry after eating and drinking, "Leader, this driver has such a arrogant attitude, can you bear it?"
?”
Mo Qing said: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters."
"Ahem."
Goblin just took a sip of water and then choked.
This is correct, but the problem is: this is what Mo Qing said.
Ten minutes later, the driver drove a broken car to the entrance of the barbecue restaurant and honked the horn, making the nearby residents curse in their sleep.
The driver was a man in his early thirties, with little hair on his head, a big belly, a dark face, and an angry stomach.
It was late at night, he was having fun playing cards, and he had to come out to pick up someone.
Three fucking idiots.
It's annoying just thinking about it.
The driver stuck his head out and wanted to yell at the top of his lungs. Unexpectedly, three figures were already approaching.
The three of them were all carrying bags and did not carry any luggage. They walked slowly towards him, their faces falling in the shadows, giving people an eerie feeling.
Surprised by the atmosphere, the driver swallowed and shouted: "Are they the three of you? Get in the car quickly, don't waste time -"
The words were not spoken yet.
There was only a "bang" sound, and the leading woman kicked the car door.
The driver was startled and froze. He lowered his head tremblingly and saw that a piece of the door protruded inward. The old and weak door immediately began to collapse.
"..."
The driver is an ordinary person. At best, he was a gangster when he was young. I have never seen such a tough scene.
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
If this kick hits him, will he still be alive with half his life?
A shadow fell, blocking the light.
The driver felt that his hope in life had been blocked.
Then, a cool voice floated above the head: "Is it far?"
"Two..." The driver's voice didn't rise for a moment and he was hoarse. After he calmed down, he continued, "Twenty minutes."
After finishing speaking, the driver trembled and reacted: "Hey, I'm sorry, this old car broke down before departure and needs to be repaired, which delayed a little time. The three of you are sorry."
In the blink of an eye, the driver's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
If he hadn't been in the car and there wasn't enough room to do it, the driver would probably have bowed to Mo Qing to apologize.
Mo leaned back.
Goblin and Song Yiyuan looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
Got it.
This is the "informality" of their leadership.
"That's right." Mo Qing twisted his wrist and gave the driver a stern smile, "It's understandable."
"..."
The driver was almost frightened by her smile.
Devil ah ah ah.
Mo Qing turned around and said to his two subordinates, "Get in the car."
Goblin: "Hey."
Song Yiyuan: "Okay."
The two immediately got into the back seat, with Mo Qing sitting in the passenger seat.
The driver was in shock, fearing that Mo Qing would suddenly kick him. He was so frightened that when he stepped on the accelerator, his legs became weak and he almost drove the car into a ditch.
…
The crew arranged a small hotel for the three of them.
It’s just a “livable enough” level.
The driver stopped the car, got out of the car, and said hurriedly: "All the accommodation in this town is like this. The crew lives directly in the villagers' homes, but there is really no room available, so I have to live here for a while.
"
Having said this, the driver rubbed his hands in panic, fearing that the three of them would go crazy.
The three of them carried their bags and looked at him without saying a word.
"I..." The driver was panicking. He felt like the eyes of these people were on his neck like knives. "Then what, I will pick you up tomorrow morning?"
"..."
No one responded to him.
Mo Qing, Song Yiyuan, and Goblin walked into the hotel.
When they completely crossed the threshold of the hotel, the driver's knees softened and he almost fell to his knees.
Mom...
The driver hurriedly got into the car, and while driving back, he called his friend: "Xiao Wu, what kind of magician did you hire? It's obviously Heisehui..."
*
Xiao Wu, the crew member, booked two rooms in the hotel for Mo Qing and the others.
Of course, Mo Qing shared a room, and Song Yiyuan and Goblin shared a room.
The environment of the hotel is very poor. It is midsummer now, but the room has a musty smell. It is obvious that there is no ventilation all year round. Even the bedding is damp and the facilities are not perfect.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
Mo Qing walked around the room and heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Goblin.
"This is a single sleeping bag. You can make do with it." Goblin handed over a brand new sleeping bag. "It will rain in the next few days. Have you brought enough clothes?"
"Um."
Mo Qing took the sleeping bag.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Goblin said and left.
Mo Qing closed the door, returned to the room, threw the sleeping bag on the bed, walked to the window, and pushed the window open.
The cool breeze from outside blew in.
The internal environment of the hotel is not very good, but the external environment is quite good. You can see a river when you open the window, and the moonlight casts a layer of light on the river, making the waves sparkle.
There are no lights by the river.
From a distance, Mo Qing saw a figure standing by the river, who seemed familiar.
