185 Chapter 16 Section 1

The fat man whispered while chewing the boiled beef, "Did you hear about what happened last night?"

The dwarf nodded and said, "This incident has spread all over the city early in the morning. I heard from the town's Doctor Zhu that Xu Xiaoliu was stimulated and fell into a coma. It was the same symptom as Old Man Zhang who was looking at the woodland. Most of them were scared by ghosts!"

The fat man said, "Didn't that old man Zhang wake up? Did he say what he saw?"

The short man shook his head and said, "Old man Zhang woke up because he woke up, but he seemed to be stupid. He ignored anyone who talked to him, just kept talking about things like black and white impermanence."

The fat man heard this and said, "In short, it's best not to go out at night. I heard that most of the dirty things come out to harm people at night!"

After hearing this, the short man nodded quickly and said, "Yes, even Old Man Zhang who was watching the woods was scared like that. It's conceivable that that thing must be extraordinary. We should be careful these days...Okay, let's eat it quickly. After eating, we have to go to the shop to work."

The fat man nodded, and then the two of them stopped talking and just kept their heads off to eat.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Yunde looked up at Wang Changgui. Seeing that he shook his head, he did not make a sound, but was curious about the matter. After a while, the wine and food were brought up one by one. Everyone was already hungry. After seeing the steaming dishes, they didn't care about being gentle, and shook their cheeks and started eating.

The shop clerk looked around and shook his head and smiled, "You guys, are you passers-by from other places, why are you so hungry?"

Xu Yunde nodded and smiled, "Brother, we are not from Shandong. We were originally going to visit relatives in Kunyu Mountain. Yesterday, it was raining heavily. There was no place to shelter in the mountains. The dry food we brought was soaked in water, so we were already hungry."

The guy heard this and said, "So that's the case, but I advise you to walk north at least one day to reach the next town, namely Shilin Town. The road is full of wild mountains and wilderness, with many wolves, tigers and leopards, and it's difficult to walk at night, so it's better for you to stay in the town for a night. Wait until tomorrow morning and tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to reach Shilin Town in the evening."

Xu Yunde smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then as you said, prepare a few rooms for us later. We will stay here tonight."

When the guy heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay! Please use it slowly first, I'll go and clean it up for you now."

After dinner, under the guidance of the shopkeeper, everyone came to the wing room in the backyard of the restaurant. Although the house was relatively simple, it was fortunately clean and tidy, and there was also hot water supply. Liu Ping and others were not particular people at first, so they were very satisfied with this.

Liu Ping gave the friend some money as a reward, but the friend did not refuse. He smiled and then said, "I'll go to the front hall to work first. If you have any needs, you can just go there to find me."

Liu Ping nodded and thanked him again. The guy turned around and wanted to leave with a smile, but was stopped by Wang Changgui. Wang Changgui said, "This little brother, I'll ask you something!"

"You said!" the guy turned around and nodded.

Wang Changgui said: "We just heard that some strange things happened in this town one after another. It is best not to go out at night. I wonder what this strange thing refers to..."

When the guy heard this, he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I forgot to remind you about this matter. To be honest, our town has indeed been a little uneasy during this period. Everyone said that it was a haunted in the Western Wilderness. Now two people have an accident. Now every household is closed at night and no one dares to come out for a walk. So after the sunset, you'd better stay in the house as well, don't go out."

When Xu Yunde heard this, he seemed to be interested and stepped forward and said, "Brother, I heard that the two people who had the accident were called Old Man Zhang and the other one seemed to be called Xu Xiaoliu, right? Do you know where they are now?"

When the guy heard this, he immediately twitched his lips and said in confusion: "You... have something to do with them?"

Xu Yunde smiled and said, "I have never seen anyone scared to death before. Out of curiosity, I just wanted to go and see, and there was nothing else."

After hearing this, the guy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old Man Zhang is a bachelor, and he lives alone by the forest land in the west of the town. If you want to find him, you just need to walk west along the street. The two dilapidated houses outside are his home. As for Xu Xiaoliu, he is a gangster and has no place to live, and most of them are still lying at Zhu's house."

Xu Yunde nodded, thanked him again, and then sent him away. After the shop clerk left, Wang Changgui said, "Brother Xu, are you going to interfere in this matter?"

Xu Yunde said: "What do you think?"

Wang Changgui sighed and said, "Well, whether it is true or false, let's take a look."

Ge Wu said: "I...I won't go. If I really encounter any dirty things, we can't help..."

Liu Ping smiled and said, "I didn't plan to take you there, so you two can rest here. Besides, this may not be like the rumor. Maybe it's not a dirty thing at all."

After saying goodbye to the Ge brothers, Liu Ping and the other two followed the shop's direction and headed straight to the Xitou forest land. This Gu Yunjiao was not very large, about half the size of Qingshan Town, so they arrived at the town head within a short while. Compared with the town center, there were much fewer residents here. Some of the scattered houses seemed empty. The two dilapidated tiled houses outside seemed extremely unsociable. I think that was to see the old man Zhang's house in the woodland.

Xu Yunde took the first step over and saw that the door was not locked, so he patted the door a few times: "Is Old Man Zhang at home?"

After a while, no one answered inside. Xu Yunde tilted his head and looked at Wang Changgui and Liu Ping and said, "Can't you be away from home, right?"

Liu Ping said: "The door is not locked, why are you not at home?"

Xu Yunde said: "Didn't that old man was frightened silly? Maybe he forgot to lock him when he went out?"
