During the conversation with the old man, Jiang Chen and the two quickly finished their dinner.

Jiang Chen put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said to the old man.

"Uncle, we have something very important to do in the mountains. I wonder if you can help us find a guide."

After hearing this, the old man's expression immediately changed.

"Young man, don't you still believe what I just said? Cangsai Mountain is really dangerous."

Jiang Chen nodded quickly and explained.

"Uncle, I absolutely believe what you just said."

"But, I really have something important to do when I go into the mountains."

Jiang Chen's tone was very sincere. The old man looked at his serious expression and then asked seriously.

"Where do you want to go in Cangsai Mountain?"

"Xianting Peak!"

"Xianting Peak?"

The old man frowned slightly and explained.

"Xianting Peak is located in the southwest of Cangsai Mountain. Although you can drive there for a while, you will definitely not be able to get back down the mountain on the same day after going up the mountain."

"Among those who had accidents before, a group of them had an accident not far from there. If you want to go to Xianting Peak, it may be difficult to find a guide."

"Uncle, we are not locals and we are not familiar with the place here, so I can only trouble you."

Jiang Chen said.

"As long as you help us find the right person, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward."

"In this way, we will stay at your hotel tonight, and then you can help me find a guide. Do you think that's okay?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the old man nodded directly without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll ask you to see if anyone is willing to take on this job."

"Since you have finished eating, let me take you to your accommodation!"

Jiang Chen naturally understood what the old man meant, but he did not speak out to point it out, but took advantage of the situation and said it.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Seeing Jiang Chen nod, the old man immediately felt happy, quickly locked the door of the store, and led Jiang Chen and the two of them towards the other direction of the town.

After a while, Jiang Chen and others arrived in front of the hotel.

It was said to be a hotel, but it was also the simplest hotel Jiang Chen had ever seen.

Like the previous restaurant, this one is just a small bungalow with only one floor, but the room area is larger than that restaurant.

but.

This large bungalow was divided into many small rooms by gypsum boards.

After entering the room, Jiang Chen's eyes were opened even more.

In the small room, there was only a very simple iron frame bed, a TV set that was still working, and a simple clothes rack. There was nothing else, not even a separate bathroom.

But.

Even for such a room, the old man still charged Jiang Chen and the two more than one hundred yuan a night.

Jiang Chen didn't care about the "slaughter" of the old man, and regarded the money as a reward for asking the old man to help.

After showing Jiang Chen and the others around the room, the old man was about to leave to help them find a guide, but Jiang Chen stopped him at this moment.

"Uncle, I wonder if you can take us to see those people who have had accidents on the mountain?"

"This..." The old man seemed a little embarrassed for a moment.

Jiang Chen saw this and quickly explained.

"Uncle, we are just a little interested in those people."

"Don't worry, we will just watch silently and we won't say anything nonsense."

Jiang Chen had already said this, and after the old man hesitated for a moment, he agreed.

"Young man, you have to promise me that you won't say anything nonsense when the time comes."

"Uncle, I promise I won't say anything nonsense, so don't worry!"

"Okay then, let's go!"

The three of them walked out of the hotel together again.

...

After leaving the hotel, the old man led Jiang Chen to a house not far away.

When the three people came over, the family was having dinner.

Seeing the old man arriving, a middle-aged man immediately walked out of the dining room. It seemed that he should be the male owner of the house, and immediately warmly welcomed Jiang Chen and the others into the living room.

After the guests and hosts were seated, the old man quickly expressed his desire to find a guide.

After hearing the old man say the purpose of coming here, the middle-aged man's expression immediately changed.

His son had an accident on the mountain not long ago, and now he is feeling better. How could he still run up the mountain?

As a family member of the person involved, he knew better than anyone how bad his son's condition was at that time.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man directly rejected the old man.

Naturally, Jiang Chen and the other three were not surprised by this result. Looking for a guide was just an excuse for them to come here.

After a few more simple chats, the old man secretly looked at Jiang Chen. After seeing Jiang Chen's signal, he said goodbye directly to the man, and then led Jiang Chen and the two away.

only.

When leaving, Jiang Chen glanced a few more times at a young man who was eating at the dinner table.

"How's it going, young man?"

"Uncle, let's go to the next one!"

"good!"

...

In the following time, Jiang Chen and the other two went to several homes one after another. In each of these homes, Jiang Chen saw the person he was looking for.

Just when the old man wanted to lead them to the next house, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.

"Uncle, let's go see the person who spent the night on the mountain without any incident?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, but quickly agreed.

"good!"

After a while, Jiang Chen saw the person he wanted to see - a somewhat honest middle-aged man.

Different from the previous times, when the old man proposed the idea of ​​finding a guide, the man did not flatly refuse.

Obviously.

The generous reward given by Jiang Chen moved this man's heart, and the fact that he was able to survive on the mountain also gave him some confidence.

"Xiaoqing, among these people who went up the mountain, you were the only one who came down safely."

"Even if there are ghosts and monsters causing trouble, you are still protected by the gods. I think you are the most suitable to take over this job."

"The remuneration offered by this boss is also quite generous. It is enough to cover your family's expenses for a year. Don't you think about it?"

Under the old man's advice, the middle-aged man named Xiaoqing suddenly fell into deep thought.

at this time.

Jiang Chen looked at this middle-aged man with a thoughtful expression.

When he was in the first few homes, he used his spiritual sense to investigate the people who had had accidents on the mountain. As a result, he found that the consciousness of those people had been attacked by their spiritual sense.

It's just that the time was too long, and the spiritual consciousness that attacked them had long since dissipated, and Jiang Chen couldn't tell whether the person who attacked them was a human or a ghost!

but.

The middle-aged man in front of him was different from those others. Jiang Chen found that his consciousness had no trace of being attacked.

certainly.

Jiang Chen can be sure that this person is not wearing anything like a peace charm.

"So......"
Chapter completed!
