In March, spring flowers bloom, the weather warms up, and everything revives. Even in the northern land, the coldness of winter has slowly receded, and warm spring has arrived!
In the cultivated fields outside Tianfeng Town, ordinary people working in geographical farming can be seen everywhere, the elderly, men, women, and some young children, all working in the land.
In March, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. It is also the farming season. Although the current situation has been turbulent and suffered from wars over the years, food is the foundation of survival. No matter how chaotic the era is, as long as there is still a moment of peace, in this season,
It is impossible to stop farming. Even if you are not sure what the future situation will be like, at most you can only pray for peace and a good harvest in the future.
On a road leading to the town from the middle of the field, a black car drove slowly toward the town from a distance, passing through the fields and attracting the attention of many people working in the fields.
"Daddy, daddy, look, look, that dark thing can move, there are two people inside, what is it!?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, this is a car from the city."
In the field, a child who had not seen the car asked the adults around him, but was immediately stopped by the adult in a serious manner, telling the child that it was a car and telling the child not to talk nonsense for fear of being overheard by the people inside the car.
To offend the other party, with eyes filled with curiosity, envy, awe, etc., he watched the car approach the town with a solemn expression, as if paying attention.
Tianfeng Town is just a small town. On weekdays, there are very few people in the town who can afford to travel by carriage. They are superior to others, not to mention that for them, this kind of car only exists in big cities.
For ordinary people in big cities, anyone who can ride in a car is considered a big shot. What's more, for ordinary people in small towns far away from big cities, it is even more unimaginable. In their view,
Anyone who can afford such a car, no matter what their specific status is, is definitely a great big shot, and they are definitely not someone they can mess with.
Therefore, when they just saw the car passing by, these people just looked at it from a distance and said nothing. Even if a child asked a question, an adult would quickly stop him.
They were just afraid that the big shots in the car would hear and offend the other party. If they really offended the other party, it would be a disaster for ordinary people like them.
While these people watched the car drive towards the town, the two people in the car also looked at the people in the fields on both sides of the road from time to time.
There were two men sitting in the car, both of whom looked to be in their twenties. One of them was tall and thin, with a rather handsome appearance. He had a heroic look between his eyebrows, and his eyes were dark and deep, giving people a calm and restrained feeling.
The other person gave people a monkey-like feeling, with a short head, a pair of eyes that kept turning around, and his head moving back and forth from time to time when he was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Brother Yi, do you think there is really something strange going on these days? The news can't be wrong, right? Look at the people in the fields on both sides, they all look quite normal. If something strange really happens in Tianfeng Town, these people should
You won't behave like this." The short-haired young man carefully looked at the people in the fields on both sides of the driveway, then looked at the calm young man next to him and asked, calling him sworn brother.
"Don't take everything at face value. Since the news is here, there must be some reasons. You will know after you go into the town and inquire about it."
The calm young man known as Yi Ge opened his mouth when he heard the words. He looked calm and looked straight ahead. He looked like he was concentrating on driving. However, if you pay close attention, you can notice that the corner of his eye was always looking.
Looking at the people in the surrounding fields, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, the short-haired young man heard the words, but he didn't seem to have any intention of giving up, and asked again.
"Yi Ge, what is the purpose of the higher-ups? They actually asked us to investigate these supernatural things. It's really strange. This is the first time we have received such an order. I heard it was the order of the new Qilin envoy from above.
Brother Yi, do you know the reason for this? Have you heard about the plan of the person above?"
The short-haired young man looked at the calm man next to him and said, his dark eyes flashing constantly, letting people know at a glance what he must be planning in his heart.
"When the superiors give orders, they naturally have their intentions and plans. What we should know will naturally be told to us. What we should not know, it may not be beneficial to ask." Hearing this, the calm young man glanced at the short-haired young man beside him and said calmly.
: "Just do what we should do, and don't ask too many questions about other things, otherwise it may not be a good thing."
The calm young man's tone was calm, but the warning in his tone was obvious. The short-haired young man looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"Yi Ge, look at what you said. It's so serious. Aren't I also curious? Moreover, that Qilin Envoy is now very popular in our martial arts sect. Isn't Yi Ge not curious?"
"And it's not like you don't know the situation in the sect now, Brother Yi. The situation between the sect leader and the deputy sect leader. If one of us doesn't get along well with this kind of fight, the people below us will be affected. I'm afraid how will we be involved?"
You won’t even know if you go in and die. It’s a good place to enjoy the shade under the big tree. If we can get things done this time and be appreciated by the Qilin envoy, then..."
The short-haired young man said, and when he said this, his tone stopped, but the meaning was already there, and the calm young man could naturally hear it.
Both of them are from Wumen, so they are naturally aware of the current situation in Wumen. As the Northern Expedition approaches, the fighting between the factions of Wumen's middle sect leader Li Musheng and deputy sect leader Huo Qiubai has become increasingly fierce.
The more intense it becomes, judging from the current situation, it is not impossible that it will eventually develop into a life-and-death fight within the Wu sect. The two of them are just relatively ordinary members of the outer sect in the Wu sect, and there are no big figures behind them. If the Wu sect is then
If the clan is really fighting among themselves, people like them are undoubtedly the easiest to become cannon fodder. Under such circumstances, the short-haired young man naturally does not want to sit still and wait for death.
Who in this world wants to be cannon fodder.
The calm young man's expression changed slightly when he heard the words. Naturally, he could hear the meaning of the short-haired young man's words. He also knew the current situation in Wumen. He even knew that this time Fang Ming found the two of them. In fact,
With the consciousness of recruiting, Fang Ming worked with the two of them when they were in the outer sect, and the relationship was not bad. However, as Lin Tianqi entered Wumen, Fang Ming followed Lin Tianqi, and with the rise of Lin Tianqi, Fang Ming
His status in Wumen also increased, and the contact between the two parties became less and less.
The two people who came to Tianfeng Town this time were the two people Fang Ming took the initiative to find. The calm young man was naturally aware of some of Fang Ming's intentions, and he had already made plans in his heart, otherwise he would not have agreed to this matter.
However, the calm young man is not a short-tempered young man after all. He is much more calm and restrained. He is the kind of person who does not express his emotions and anger. He just pondered for a moment and said lightly.
"Let's do this first and then talk about it."
The short-inch young man looked happy when he heard this. Although the calm young man didn't say much, the short-inch young man and the calm young man had known each other for many years and knew each other's temperament well. When he heard the other party's words, it was not clear what the calm young man was.
It's because my heart has already moved, otherwise I wouldn't have said these words.
Let’s talk about doing things well this time, which means doing things well this time so as to give a good impression to the superiors.
The car drove slowly into the town, and finally stopped at a larger hotel, and the two of them got out of the car.
After parking the car, the two walked into the hotel.
"Hey, gentlemen, please come in quickly."
The hotel owner was a very shrewd old man who looked to be in his sixties with a mustache. When he saw the two people and the car at the door, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically.
"Two of the best guest rooms." The short-haired young man said to the boss.
"Okay, gentlemen, please follow me."
The boss greeted the two people warmly and took them upstairs. The entire hotel was divided into three floors. The boss took them directly to the third floor.
Choose a room and pay the money.
"By the way, boss, are you familiar with everything in this town?"
After paying the rent, the short-haired young man suddenly spoke again and looked at the hotel owner. At the same time, he took out a few ocean dollars from his pocket with his right hand and deliberately weighed them in front of the owner's eyes.
When the boss saw this, his expression immediately brightened, and he immediately slapped his chest and said——
"Sir, you may not know this when you first come to Tianfeng Town. I am a well-known know-it-all in this town. As long as it is about things in the town, there is nothing I don't know. If you have anything to ask, sir, just ask.
The old man must ask questions and know everything, and he will answer everything he knows."
When the short-haired young man saw his boss's appearance, he immediately smiled.
"That's just right. I have something to ask the boss about. If the boss answers well, the money will be yours."
"Just ask, sir."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes heated up again. He looked at the few pieces of ocean in the hands of the short-haired young man and patted his chest.
"I would like to ask if there are any strange things happening in your town. Has anything strange happened recently?"
The short-haired young man asked directly. The calm young man next to him also looked at the innkeeper. After hearing this, the innkeeper's originally enthusiastic expression slowly faded away. As if he had been told something taboo, he looked at the two of them with a twinkling expression.
"Why would you ask this question, sir?"
"I'm more interested in these things. If the boss doesn't know, forget it."
When the short-haired young man saw the boss, his expression remained unchanged. He pretended not to care too much and put the money into his pocket after he finished speaking.
Seeing this scene, the boss looked anxious and said.
"No, no, sir, don't worry, I know."
"Oh." The short-haired young man stopped and looked at the old man.
The old man also seemed to realize that he was acting a little too eagerly, and there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, but then he recovered immediately. He first looked behind him warily, then carefully looked at the short-haired young man and said -
"If you really want to know this, sir, I do know some things in our town, and one of them is what happened just a few days ago."
The old man opened his mouth and said this, with a look of fear on his face, and even a lingering fear in his eyes.
The short-haired young man and the calm young man also became interested. They looked at the hotel owner. They could see that the boss was not pretending to be like this, especially the fear and lingering fear in his eyes. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would never be able to pretend.
come out.
"Tell me and listen," said the short-haired young man.
"If we really want to talk about the supernatural things in the town, we have to start with the Li family's haunted house."
The hotel owner said.
