Goat Town is located in a remote valley, with little communication with the outside world. Therefore, the transportation in and out of the town is extremely backward. It is a self-sufficient, closed town.
In order to go to Goat Town, Jiang Chenchuan made full preparations. He overdrafted next year's vacation with the museum, explained all the matters in the detective agency to Lockran, and checked the water and electricity in his house. For the sake of safety, before leaving, he specially The ten-gallon pocket watch was stuffed into the trunk.
The sky outside the window was gloomy and foggy, and it seemed like it was about to rain.
After tidying up everything in the house, he brought his favorite skeleton cane and closed the door. When he went downstairs, he met the landlord who had just gone to the market to buy ingredients and returned home. In terms of cooking skills, he and Locklen were really different. There are endless topics in common.
"Mr. Ewell, are you going on a long trip?"
"Well, if I have to leave for a while, the family will leave it to you."
Jiang Chenchuan responded.
There was a soft sound from above, as if he noticed an inquiring gaze from somewhere. Jiang Chenchuan turned around and saw his new roommate Chu Dong standing by the railing of the stairs, looking coldly at everything that happened downstairs, with no expression on his face. .
"Let's go, Mr. Byrne."
"May the earth protect you and return safely."
The landlord prayed.
When I opened the door, a cold gust of wind almost blew off the black hats of passers-by. Dark clouds filled the sky, and even the streets were wet. Mist steamed out from the pipes. It seemed that today was not a good time to travel. .
She made an appointment with Reina to meet in front of the Black Hat Hotel, where a prepared carriage was waiting. As soon as she got closer, Reina spotted Jiang Chenchuan and waved to him excitedly.
"Get in the car, Evel. In fact, we have already set off late. I heard that two groups of people set out for Goat Town yesterday."
Reina said as she got in the car. Different from the beautiful little skirts she wore a few days ago, she put on clothes that were smart and easy to move around. She took off the extra accessories, but she could still vaguely see the ring necklace around her neck.
"I've heard that Goat Town is a mysterious place, and few people know its specific location. Do you have any specific information?"
Jiang Chenchuan put his luggage in the car and sat across from Leina. Leina shook her head when she heard the question. This was the reason why it was difficult to make progress. Maybe those people didn't come back, but they didn't find the specific location of Goat Town at all. , lost in the vast valley.
"Don't worry, sir, I know where you're talking about."
Suddenly, a weak voice came from the driver's position. Jiang Chenchuan turned around and saw that it was the person he saw on the street that day, with a pale face and a gentle smile.
Nika!
"As I said, I have my own way. Look, although I don't know, Nika knows that he will take us there." Reina said confidently, "Even if they set off first, the one who reaches it first will It must be us.”
It turned out that when Lena was worrying about the destination, Nika heard about it in the hotel, and took the initiative to find Lena, saying that she could lead them to the legendary Goat Town.
When Reina heard this, she was so happy that she took Nika into her team.
The carriage started to move slowly. As soon as it drove out of Brad Street, it started to rain lightly. The thick fog made it difficult to see the road ahead. The water flowed down from the eaves. The buildings on both sides of the road looked like The giant stood in the thick fog, and the cold wind got into the carriage with a hint of coolness.
"The weather will get colder and colder next time."
"Yeah, it's almost winter again."
From time to time, I heard conversations from pedestrians on the road. Slowly, the road became bumpy and no longer so smooth. The buildings on both sides were gradually replaced by trees and became more empty. Looking around, it was still gray. Mist and steady raindrops.
Nika seemed to be in a good mood, and occasionally you could hear him humming tunes that were different from popular songs in Polnia. The road wound away, and they gradually moved away from the bustling big city of Polnia.
Because of the long journey, Lena fell asleep in the carriage before leaving the city. Jiang Chenchuan looked out the window in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In the evening, if possible, I will find a hotel to stay, but if not, I will choose to camp in the wild. I have to say that in addition to being rich, Reina, the eldest lady, also has many excellent qualities that must be mentioned. For example, she is not afraid. For example, she provided sufficient material support for this operation.
This was a journey that lasted several days, going all the way into the depths of the valley. I heard Nica occasionally mention that it was a peaceful and peaceful town, but because of the surrounding mountains, there was little sunlight. It was always gray and the boundary between day and night was not clear.
Nika's health didn't seem to be very good. Jiang Chenchuan worried several times whether he could make it to Goat Town. Even late at night when he was camping out, he heard a strange noise. When he got up, he saw that it was Nika hiding in a Behind the boulder, the sound seemed to be that of vomiting.
"Are you OK?"
Nika came out from behind the stone. Under the dim kerosene light, his face seemed even paler.
"It's okay, sir. Maybe I ate bad food at night and my stomach has been uncomfortable."
Nika said apologetically.
"What's wrong? Aren't you guys sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Rena rubbed her sleepy eyes, walked out of the carriage with a confused look on her face, and said to the two of them while hitting Hatcher.
"Nothing, go back to sleep."
Jiang Chenchuan clenched the skeleton cane in his hand and turned back to the camp. After a while, a rustling sound came from the next door. It must be that Nika came back to sleep.
In the darkness, after waiting for a long time with his eyes open, and no other sound came, Jiang Chenchuan grabbed his cane and sat up.
Everything was done quietly. He hid his breath, held the kerosene lamp, and found the big stone where Nika had vomited.
But he walked around the stone and found no traces. There was not even any normal vomit on the ground.
To reassure himself, Jiang Chenchuan walked around the area and waited outside the carriage for a while, but there was no movement. In this dark world, with only the sound of the cold wind blowing, he returned to the tent and slept with peace of mind. Come down.
The next day, they got up and set off at the normal time. Nika had already sat in the driver's seat early, and Rena was as lively as a clever rabbit, eager to reach Goat Town.
Calculating the distance, we still have about a day or two, and we are already very close.
"Miss Reina, Mr. Ivel, starting from today, we will go into the mountains."
As a qualified guide, Nika explained to them.
As he was about to reach his destination, looking at the foggy mountain peaks in the distance, Jiang Chenchuan felt an ominous feeling for some reason.
