Before Jiang Cheng could speak, he heard an old voice coming from inside, "Aren't these the two little brothers? Come in and talk."
Hearing the old man speak, the middle-aged man reluctantly gave way. After walking in, Jiang Cheng saw clearly that there was a kind-hearted old man sitting in the middle. Next to the old man was a young woman. The woman was about 17 or 8 years old. , the attire is not very good, but it can't hide his heroic spirit.
In addition, there is a child, a plainly dressed old woman, a maid, a tall and straight young man, and finally a porter with a sad face standing in the corner.
After looking around, Jiang Cheng locked his eyes on the leader of the old man, and politely raised his hand, "Thank you for saving my life, I will never forget you."
"Haha, little brother, it's serious. We businessmen who travel all year round will help us if we are in danger. This is a rule passed down from ancient times." The old man stroked his beard and looked like he was very talkative. " Besides, the two brothers are from Bianzhou, so we can be considered half fellow townsmen."
Although Fatty Jiang Cheng didn’t quite understand why the other party defined himself as a person from Bianzhou, he thought that this was the identity given to them by the mission. Jiang Cheng didn’t dwell on this issue, and his expression became more polite, “In this case, the lives of our two brothers are ours. I shouldn’t have given up, thank you to the old man for helping me.”
"May I ask...where is the old man going for this business trip?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"As a businessman, you will naturally go wherever there are buyers. To be honest, I don't have a fixed destination this time. Once all the goods we have are sold out, we should go back." The old man laughed. answer.
Jiang Cheng smiled freely, "I was the one who was abrupt."
This time, even Fatty could tell something was wrong. It was obvious that the other party didn't want to tell them the truth, but it was understandable. After all, when traveling around the world, one had to be on guard.
As the exchange deepened, Jiang Cheng gradually learned what happened before he woke up. According to the old man, they found him and Fatty under a remote canyon.
And the reason why they went down to the canyon was entirely a coincidence. Their original road was washed away by the flood, and they encountered such terrible weather, with thick fog rising all around, so they deviated from their original route. , somehow made it to the bottom of the canyon, and happened to meet them falling off the cliff.
"Old sir, you only found the two of us at that time, right?" Jiang Cheng persisted in asking.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Why, could it be that the little brother has a companion?"
Jiang Cheng sighed and nodded, "To be honest, we were 6 brothers who went out together, but we encountered a rock falling. On the way to avoid it, I accidentally lost my footing and fell off the cliff. I can't remember anything that happened after that. ."
The old man thought for a moment and shook his head, "The fog was thick at the time, and we did only see the two of you. As for whether there were others nearby, we are not entirely sure."
"It's useless even if you have one. The weather outside is very strange. If he fell off the cliff, he would be dead by now." The middle-aged man who opened the door seemed to dislike seeing the fat man from Jiangcheng, and his tone of voice was cold.
The old man and others didn't say anything after hearing this, and they seemed to have acquiesced to this fact.
The fat man became anxious after hearing this, "Old man, where did you pick up our brother? Can you draw a picture so that we can find him along the way?"
】
Hearing this, the old man smiled bitterly, and before he could speak, the woman beside him spoke, "It's not that we don't want to help, it's just that we are powerless. After we took you with us, we were trapped in the fog and couldn't tell the difference at all. After clearing the east, west, north and south, I finally saw the torch of the monk returning to the temple from a distance, and chased after it, and then I luckily found this place to stay."
Jiang Cheng's eyes froze when he heard this, "Why, it was the monk in the temple who took you back to the temple, didn't you take the initiative to join the temple?"
The middle-aged man sneered, "The fog outside was as thick as water at that time. Besides, this temple is so remote. How can we find it when we are new here?"
There was a deviation in the information. According to Monk Huide, these people took the initiative to seek refuge in the temple late at night. However, the old man said that he had been lost for a long time and luckily met the monks who were returning to the temple from outside. They then found the Precepts-holding Temple.
This is an ordinary question. There is no need to lie, unless there is some kind of ulterior secret. Jiang Cheng is not yet sure who the problem is, but it is more likely that it is this temple located in the deep mountains, and the temple in it. of monks.
Staying here, Jiang Cheng felt uncomfortable all over.
"Gululu..." The fat man's stomach growled at an inappropriate time, and he covered his stomach, somewhat embarrassed.
The old man smiled when he saw it, and then waved to the porter not far away. The porter opened his luggage and took out a small bag of dry food from it.
"Little brother, I'm hungry. Take it and eat it. We are destined to be together." The old man handed the bag of dry food to the fat man.
Seeing the white dry food, the fat man quickly thanked him, and then took it with both hands politely, "Thank you, thank you, old man. I wish you a lot of money in your business."
After some more chatting, feeling that the middle-aged man's face was getting worse and worse, Jiang Cheng took the fat man to say goodbye and left. After leaving, Jiang Cheng's face became heavy.
When the fat man saw it, he couldn't help but ask: "What, this group of people also has a problem?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "These people are not ordinary businessmen, they are officers and soldiers, and the leader's position will not be low."
"How do you know?" Fatty asked hurriedly.
"That porter, he was wearing official boots. He was far away before and I didn't see clearly in the dark room. I only noticed it when he came over to hand over the dry food."
"The middle-aged man who opened the door for us always had one hand hidden behind his back. He must be bringing someone with him. And look at their staffing. This is no businessman sleeping in the open. The businessman will bring maids with limited mobility. ?”
Hearing Jiang Cheng's analysis, Fatty felt more and more reasonable. But later, he saw Jiang Cheng take out his mobile phone from his pocket, click a few times, and start playing the video.
The fat man came closer, and the next second, he was surprised to find that the background of the beginning of this video was actually outside the wing just now.
The fat man immediately looked at Jiang Cheng's pocket. There was a hole in it. The clothes were already in tatters and had holes everywhere. The hole was inconspicuous at all. It seemed that the doctor had secretly recorded it through this hole.
As the distance got closer and closer, the door of the wing was opened, but at this moment, the fat man was stunned, and then his eyes suddenly opened wide, and the middle-aged man who opened the door couldn't see his face clearly.
To be precise, his face was in chaos, as if separated by a layer of fog. As the middle-aged man stepped aside, the faces of the other people in the room also changed.
