Travel is magical.
Pedestrians we pass by on the street seem to be in the same time and space, but they are in two worlds, two worlds that will never intersect.
But travel is different. On a car ride to a distant place, even though the people on the car don’t know each other, and even come from all over the world, they can quickly become familiar with each other after a short period of traveling together.
At this time, the two eldest grandsons in the carriage were like this. They were two people with good senses. They took advantage of the opportunity to chat on the road and became more and more familiar with each other. They also regarded each other as confidants.
After hearing Feng Tianxiao's ideals, the eldest grandson also began to talk about his plans for his third and fourth years.
"Changsun, are you saying that your fourth-year student wants to go to the Bei Ming Army for the outside trial?" Feng Tianxiao asked.
The eldest grandson nodded and said, "It's just a preliminary plan now. I haven't fully thought it through yet. After all, there is still a year to go, and I haven't been to many places. I just went to the northern section through the tour."
Feng Tianxiao said thoughtfully: "Changsun, you must be careful. The Beiming Army has the highest casualty rate in its annual trials. I have been to the northern section...it is very dangerous and complicated..."
The eldest grandson nodded and asked, "Senior brother, have you ever tried in the Beiming Army?"
Feng Tianxiao smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I feel ashamed to say that I have been there for a while, but once I was in danger on a mission and finally escaped death... Ever since that time, I have been a little scared, so I applied to study in Beiming The military transfer is back..."
The eldest grandson nodded, not looking down on Feng Tianxiao. On the contrary, it was his calm look that made the eldest grandson see that he had experienced life and death, and was not the kind of newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Feng Tianxiao seemed to be lost in memories, and murmured in a low voice: "It was really dangerous that time... I really don't want to meet you in the Bei Ming Army..."
The sound of the carriage was very noisy, so Zhangsun didn't really hear it, and just thought it was Feng Tian laughing and lamenting the danger of that mission.
Next, Feng Tianxiao introduced to Zhangsun in detail the precautions for the trials outside the hospital for fourth-year students. For example, the most common thing that the trial students did in the Beiming Army was to clean the battlefield; the atmosphere of the Far South Army was not good, and the most like Bullying the students in the trial; the Gubian Army in the east is the most leisurely, as long as you know how to drink, you can have a good time there, etc.
What Feng Tianxiao introduced happened to be Changsun's blind spot in knowledge, so even though Feng Tianxiao was talking alone most of the time, Changsun was very fascinated by it.
By the time the two of them came to their senses, they had arrived at Canglang Town.
Canglang Town is located in the southeast corner of Nanman Prefecture. Because it is located on the edge and does not have rich mineral resources, most of the people here still live a life of men farming and women weaving. For two people like Zhangsun who look like outsiders, they all It seems a bit novel.
After many twists and turns, Zhang and Sun finally found No. 122, Zhenbei Street, Canglang Town.
Feng Tianxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Who knew that the North Street of this town is actually in the south? This town is really strange."
"I told you to ask for directions a long time ago. You have to say you can, but I spent an entire afternoon visiting Canglang Town." Changsun said.
Feng Tianxiao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
No. 122, Zhenbei Street, Canglang Town, is Fan Yuantao's old house. The eldest grandson originally thought that there would be someone in the old house, but it turned out that the old house was no longer inhabited.
The two walked into the old house that seemed to be in disrepair. Feng Tianxiao looked at the dilapidated surroundings and asked, "Changsun, are you sure the address is correct?"
Changsun looked around carefully and said, "There should be nothing wrong."
"Then it doesn't look like someone lives here. Who are you here to visit? It can't be...a ghost, right?!" Feng Tianxiao was still joking.
Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson said "hmm".
The two looked around, but found nothing. There was nothing worth exploring in this dilapidated house. It was basically empty.
Changsun muttered: "Could it be that the information is wrong and I'm looking in the wrong place?"
Feng Tianxiao also asked: "I guess the address I gave you is wrong."
At this time, Changsun was not sure either.
, but looked through it again inside and out without giving up.
Feng Tianxiao, who was bored on the sidelines, watched his eldest grandson looking around and urged him. Finally, when he saw that it was already dark, he couldn't help it anymore and reminded him: "eldest grandson, should we go? It's already very late, small town. It’s not easy to find a place to stay and rest.”
Only then did the grandson stop. In the end, he still found nothing. He secretly thought that the information might be wrong and the address was wrong. He planned to ask anyone in the town tomorrow if he knew Fan Yuantao.
But in this way, it is easy to alert the enemy.
"Let's go, it looks like there won't be anything gained." Changsun said with some frustration.
Feng Tianxiao jumped up from the ground, patted his butt, followed Zhangsun, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Changsun, where on earth is this? What are you doing here?"
Changsun hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to confess to Feng Tianxiao.
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that telling you this matter will do you no good." Changsun said.
When Feng Tian laughed, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Then don't tell me, I don't want to be implicated in anything."
The eldest grandson was stunned. He had planned to tell him, but he immediately backed down when he heard that it was not a good thing.
Changsun smiled and said, "But you are with me now. Even if you don't know anything, you will probably be arrested as an accomplice."
After Feng Tianxiao heard this, he thought, this is really what happened, and simply said: "Then you tell me, you can die as an understanding person."
Changsun joked: "Listening to what you said, I feel like I won't be lonely now that I have you as my companion on the road to hell."
Feng Tianxiao followed suit.
"Brother, do you know Fan Yuantao?" Changsun asked.
"Fan Yuantao? Oh, I remembered. Isn't he the director of Mine No. 1? Isn't he still somewhat related to you..." Feng Tian said with a smile.
The eldest grandson nodded and said, "This is his old home... to be precise, this is his old home registered in the college archives."
Feng Tianxiao turned to look at this dilapidated house and said, "It's his house. I only got to know this person at your public trial. It turns out that he and I are fellow villagers..."
Then Feng Tianxiao asked in confusion: "Then why did you come to his house? Isn't that case over? Isn't he already dead?"
Changsun shook his head and was about to explain in detail to Feng Tianxiao when he noticed someone coming.
"There is someone!" Changsun whispered.
At this time, Feng Tianxiao also sensed it. The two looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts. In a flash, they climbed onto the roof of the old house.
The two of them became one with the black tiles on the roof in the dark night.
I saw a dark shadow suddenly entering the yard.
The man in black first hid in the darkness in the corner and checked around, only to show up again when he saw no one.
The man in black walked into the old house, and Changsun carefully removed the tiles. He saw the man in black starting to dig a hole where they were standing just now.
After a while, the man in black dug a hole and took out two things from it.
Changsun didn't expect that there was something hidden under the feet where he stood just now, and he didn't expect that this thing was buried underground like this without a talisman array. It's no wonder that he couldn't find any clues after searching for a long time.
The man in black looked at the two things in his hands. One of them was a notebook and the other was a square box.
The man in black made a soft sound of disdain, then threw the book back into the pit, received the box, and began to bury it in the pit.
Changsun's eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity. If he took action now, he would be caught by surprise and the man in black would be seriously injured.
The eldest grandson was ready to take action.
But just as Changsun was about to take action, Feng Tianxiao on the side grabbed Changsun tightly.
The eldest grandson looked at Feng Tianxiao in surprise, and saw Feng Tianxiao shaking his head at the eldest grandson with a solemn expression.
The eldest grandson was puzzled, but just for a moment, the man in black
People have buried the hole and are ready to leave.
Changsun saw that the opportunity had been missed and that taking action at this time would only frighten the enemy, so he hid again.
The man in black looked around, found nothing unusual, and disappeared into the house in a flash.
