I observed carefully at the entrance of the town, but I didn't notice anything unusual, but according to Wang Shaoyang, the town should have been set up by someone.
But so far, I haven't seen any trace of the layout.
It seems that this layout may only be revealed after entering the game.
The three of us walked into the town and found that all the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and not a single person was seen in the town.
Although it was already nighttime, it was not completely dark yet, so logically there would be people walking around on the streets.
But Ma Huaiping and I walked from the street to the end of the street without encountering anyone. It felt as if the town was deserted and no one lived there at all.
But looking at the clean streets, it's obviously not the kind of town that's been abandoned.
"Shaoyang, when you were here last time, was there anyone in the town?"
Ma Huaiping stopped and looked at the empty street and asked.
"Yes? Last time we stayed at the mayor's house for two days. There were a lot of people in the town at that time. Why were there suddenly no people?"
Wang Shaoyang also looked confused.
"Take us to the mayor's house."
Ma Huaiping wrinkled his head and said.
Wang Shaoyang nodded, and then quickly led us into an alley on the other side of the street.
After all these twists and turns, I felt like I was about to get lost, and Wang Shaoyang finally stopped in front of an old house.
The buildings in this town are basically very old, and they are all small wooden attics. It feels a bit like an ancient city tourist attraction.
The streets are all paved with stone slabs, including the foundation walls of the houses, which are also made of stones and look very strong.
This town does not occupy a large area, but its population is very concentrated. Judging from this, it is estimated that there must be thousands of people living here.
I looked up at the sky, and it was completely dark now, but there were still no lights around, including the old house in front of me, the so-called mayor's house, which was also dark.
Could it be that someone had set up a terrible plot in this place and caused all the people in the town to die?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown.
Of course, this possibility is not impossible. People with evil intentions like that don't care how many lives there are in your town.
"Clang clang clang."
Ma Huaiping suddenly reached out and knocked on the old red iron door in front of him.
In this case, why knock on the door? You don’t have to think about it to know that no one is in the room, right?
Just as I was thinking this, someone inside actually answered.
"Who?"
As the sound came, the lights in the yard also turned on, followed by a burst of sparse footsteps.
Then the door opened, and an old man in his fifties stood behind the half-open iron door, looking at us with some caution.
"Mayor, we are gentlemen from Ma's team in Fengshui Ridge. We came to your town to do some work."
Wang Shaoyang quickly came up and said hello.
"Oh, so it's Master Wang? You suddenly left before, and we thought everything was settled."
The old man said somewhat unexpectedly.
"We ran into some trouble at the time, so we went back, and this time we brought two more experts."
Wang Shaoyang said and motioned to Ma Huaiping and I who were standing next to us.
"Thank you for your hard work. Come on in."
The old man said as he quickly opened the door and made an inviting gesture sideways.
Wang Shaoyang walked in first, but Ma Huaiping hesitated at the door, and his brows kept frowning, obviously feeling that something was wrong like me.
But we finally got inside.
The old man quickly lit the fire and started making tea for us. From the kitchen next door, there was the sound of oil pans and the smell of food.
Not to mention having traveled all day, I was indeed a little hungry by now.
"Brother, what's your name?"
Ma Huaiping lit a cigarette, frowned and asked the old man.
"Everyone in the town calls me Lao Yantou. If you don't mind, just call me that too."
As the old man said this, he picked up the cigarette bag on the kang and started smoking.
"I would like to ask, what happened when your town came to our Fengshui Ridge to invite people?"
Ma Huaiping raised his hand and looked at the old cigarette butt and asked.
"Then something must have happened? Otherwise, can I bother you all to go all the way?"
As he spoke, Lao Yantou grinned, revealing a mouth full of black and yellow teeth.
"What happened at that time? Was it haunted? Or was there something wrong with Feng Shui?"
Ma Huaiping frowned and continued to ask.
"It's not that simple. There is something evil going on in our town. At night, some inexplicable people often walk through the town. People who have seen it say that those people are wearing armor and holding spears. Just like the army in ancient times, some people say it was the Yin soldiers taking advantage of it."
Lao Yantou stared and said somewhat exaggeratedly.
"The Yin soldiers are borrowing the opportunity?"
Hearing this, I also frowned.
Because I heard Wang Shaoyang say this, and now Lao Yantou said it again. It seems that it is 80% true, but I think it is definitely not as exaggerated as what he said.
"Then how did you know about our Ma family team at that time? Who asked you to go to Fengshui Ridge to hire someone?"
Ma Huaiping took a cigarette and asked again.
He asked this just because he wanted to find out who came to Fengshui Ridge to invite him? Thereby inferring the layout of the person.
But I feel that if you ask Lao Yantou, an ordinary person, you won’t be able to tell anything about this kind of thing.
Sure enough, after thinking for a while, the old man spread out his rough palms and said: "Your Fengshui Ridge is very famous in this area. If such a big thing happened, of course I would invite you? As for who brought it up first, this I forgot too."
"So, have there been any incidents of Yin soldiers taking advantage of the passage in this town recently?"
After Ma Huaiping nodded, he asked Lao Yantou again.
"I haven't heard anyone say it recently. It must be gone. Otherwise, how could we think that you have solved it?"
Old Cigarette Butt said and grinned again.
Hearing this, all three of us fell silent.
If something like this doesn't happen again, doesn't that mean it's over?
Could it be that the people who planned to harm Mr. Ma and Wang Beichuan have already left this place?
If that's the case, we're probably already a step too late.
This also shows from the side that the large tomb in this place must have been stolen.
"Old man, the meal is ready."
I was thinking about it secretly when suddenly an old lady stood outside the door and greeted Lao Yantou.
"okay."
Lao Yantou responded, then looked at us and smiled and said: "Masters, we are in a hurry at this time, and we don't have time to get something good to greet you. Don't be dissatisfied with the simple meal, let's have some together?"
I looked at Ma Huaiping and Wang Shaoyang. They each swallowed their saliva. They were obviously hungry.
After dinner, Lao Yantou even packed up an empty room for us.
Although I am indeed a little tired, I definitely can't rest at this time. After all, we are not here to sleep.
So Ma Huaiping and I went outside again and took a look at the situation in the town.
Wang Shaoyang stayed at the mayor's house.
It's not that he is lazy, but that Ma Huaiping specifically asked him to stay and pay attention to the situation here.
But I can feel that Ma Huaiping seems to be just trying to get rid of Wang Shaoyang.
But if he didn't say anything about it, I definitely wouldn't ask. After all, he was from the Ma family team. If I got suspicious rashly, it would be easy for me to have disagreements.
