"Pointing fingers? Okay, that's it! I'm good at this!"
After hearing Zhang Chulan's plan, Feng Baobao knocked his fists on his palms with a witty look, "Prepare a pair of sunglasses for me to wear, perfect!"
"Okay, but if this is the script, the three of us have to go out together this time... After all, we are both brainless."
Sun Haoran nodded with a smile, "These guys must have paid attention to our previous behavior in Longhu Mountain. I think my performance at that time just fit this setting. Most people wouldn't offend the ten elders so recklessly, right? Even if they are temporary workers, I guess None of them would do such a thing, and the old guy is still alive and kicking after I offended him, so they will definitely focus their suspicion on me, which will give these guys a headache for a while."
"..."
"But you still have to be cautious. Since these guys are temporary workers, they must not be normal people."

After discussing the countermeasures, the three of them were ready to take action. Before leaving, Sun Haoran reminded them again.
"Hey, don't worry, I know what to do." Zhang Chulan gave a thumbs up with a sly smile on his face.
······
In the deep alley, Sun Haoran, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao looked at each other, and then looked towards the middle-aged man who seemed to be waiting for someone on the street.
"This is... it is indeed the same as the photo on the group profile picture. Is this person the old Xiao from East China?"
Zhang Chulan asked.
"There's no mistake, it's him." Sun Haoran nodded.
"Emm... I always feel like I've seen him before somewhere?" Feng Baobao touched his chin in confusion.
"Really?" Zhang Chulan was a little surprised.
"I can't remember clearly..." Feng Baobao shook his head slightly.
"Shh, don't talk, someone else is here."
Sun Haoran pointed to where Xiao Zizai was and reminded.
I saw a man in cool clothes and long blond hair who looked like he could be described as 'charming' walking towards Xiao Zizai.
"Is this guy the ball from Southwest China?"
Zhang Chulan frowned slightly.
At least so far, he couldn't see anything special about these two people.
"Okay, let's go out too? Who will go first?"
"Of course it's you."
Feng Baobao and Sun Haoran pointed to Zhang Chulan in tacit understanding.
"Forehead……"
Zhang Chulan slapped his forehead and thought that he shouldn't have come up with such a tiring method.
"Are you Southwest's Qiu'er?"
Just as the three of them were discussing how to come over, Xiao Zizai looked at Qiu'er who came to him indifferently.
"Wang Zhenqiu, nice to meet you, Brother Xiao."
Wang Zhenqiu chuckled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the man in front of him, but Xiao Zizi made no move and kept his hand in his pocket.
"interesting……"
Wang Zhenqiu retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Thinking to myself, this man doesn't seem as kind as he is in the group?
"Hey, what about the guys from North China? Didn't they just run away from the battle?"
Wang Zhenqiu chuckled and changed the subject, seemingly not paying attention to Xiao Zizi's indifference at all.
"coming……"
Xiao Zizai responded and turned his head to look in the direction of the alley, "But something seems wrong..."
As he spoke, he took out his hand from his pocket and gently held the eye sockets on the bridge of his nose. The look in his eyes behind the lenses became dangerous.
"Oh, isn't this... Bushao Bilian?"
Wang Zhenqiu also looked at the people who came to them with some surprise, his tone full of intriguing meaning.
"Don't tell me that you are a temporary worker from North China?"
"Uh hehehe..."
Zhang Chulan stepped forward with some embarrassment, facing the two of them with sweat on his forehead, "Good evening, two brothers! As you can see, I am definitely not a temporary worker... But he said, I will represent him ."
"Haha, it's really boring."
Wang Zhenqiu chuckled and looked at Zhang Chulan in front of him, "If you don't want to come, you can just say it. Why do you want to make it so difficult?"
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Zizai shook his head slightly, "Anyway, even if you don't come, I will investigate alone."
As he spoke, Xiao Zi opened the navigation with his mobile phone in his hand and started walking towards the location.
"Okay, if you don't come, you won't come. Brother Xiao, let's go and meet that boss Wang, hehe."
Wang Zhenqiu followed with a smile, seemingly not taking the embarrassed Zhang Chulan seriously at all.
"hey-hey."
Zhang Chulan just scratched his head in embarrassment, not paying attention to the two people's attitudes, and followed cautiously. After all, he was no longer shaking Bilian, so who cares about this.
Let's wait and see, you'll have a headache later.
······
Soon, the three of them touched their bellies and walked out of a shop with the sign of 'Guizhou Mutton Rice Noodles'.
Xiao Zizai took out his mobile phone and reported the situation in the group.
Xiao Zizai: There should be nothing wrong with this Boss Wang...
Zhang Chulan: I have to say that it’s quite comfortable to have a bowl of noodles at night.
Wang Zhenqiu: Yes, yes, his mutton noodles are simply outstanding.
The scene was a little weird for a while. The three people were still communicating on their mobile phones even though they were face to face. People who didn't know better thought they were crazy, but there was no way. After all, not all temporary workers came to the scene to investigate, and they had to share information.
Although it was a bit unpleasant at the beginning, with Zhang Chulan's communication skills, it seemed that they got to know each other within a matter of minutes.
Now Wang Zhenqiu only thinks that this guy is an innocent grudge who was forced to play a role by the temporary worker who was unwilling to come forward. As for Xiao Zizai... He still has a dull look on his face. He looks like two people on and off the screen. Wang Zhenqiu and Zhang Chulan always thought that this was probably the legendary 'sultry middle-aged uncle'.
Northwest (scared face expression): Everyone, are you food bloggers? We're not here to see you fans... What kind of poison are you putting out there late at night? Get down to business now!
Zhang Chulan: Anyway, we have asked. Chen Duo came here to ask Boss Wang about an old woman named Mei Jinfeng... Boss Wan did once receive an old man named Mei, and she also didn't like Boss Wan's mutton rice noodles. Absolutely...
Northwest: Stop it, stop it... Why are you talking about rice noodles again...
Zhang Chulan: Don’t worry, I haven’t finished talking yet... The point is that this old woman named Mei once said that she didn’t like to go out, and she once paid a lot of money for Boss Wan to deliver the rice noodles he made to her in a secluded place...
Wang Zhenqiu: Yes, the address of this hermitage is the key point, and this is what Chen Duo wants to know.
Zhang Chulan: I just checked. It is true that people with the surname Mei are rare, but there are indeed a few recorded in the company files. Among them, Mei Jinfeng happens to be in it. She is...a person of all genders! And he is a veteran figure who joined Zongxing 40 years ago!
Wang Zhenqiu: Boss Wang said that Chen Duo asked him for the address and map and then left, so we also asked the boss for a copy. Then there will be subsequent clues. We are now ready to start investigating Mei Jinfeng.
Northwest: Okay, then come on, wait for your news.
Zhang Chulan & Wang Zhenqiu: OK OK.
Just when the two were about to turn off their phone screens and start taking action, the temporary worker from Huazhong who had not spoken much suddenly popped out.
Hua Zhong (angry face): Wait! Lao Xiao, what are you holding in your hand?
The two of them turned their heads in confusion, only to realize that Lao Xiao was holding an envelope in his hand and was looking at it carefully as if he wanted to see something from it. No wonder he didn't say much just now.
But...how does this guy in Huazhong know what Lao Xiao is doing now! ?
They suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the higher buildings.
Hua Zhong: Don't forget, I am indeed here, but I have just arrived. As for the reason why I don't get close to you... because I am good at this, you can understand that I am a 'sniper'. It’s nothing to be surprised about. I guess I’m not the only one hiding in the dark right now? So Lao Xiao, what is that in your hand?
Xiao Zizai: The envelope Chen Duo left for Boss Wang said that if anyone came to inquire about her, he would give this letter to the person...but...
northwest:!
? Don't open it!
Xiao Zizai: Sorry...it seems like you reminded me a little late. I just opened it...but there doesn't seem to be anything special inside, just a blank piece of paper.
Zhizhizhi——
As soon as Xiao Zizai finished typing and sent out the words, he heard noisy sounds coming from all directions.
Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu also looked around in confusion, but saw nothing... No, when they suddenly lowered their heads, they realized that they and others had been surrounded by a group of rats emerging from the sewer.
Whoosh——
A sound broke through the air, and a mouse sprang up from the ground strangely, passed Zhang Chulan's ear and rushed towards Xiao Zizai's body.
boom.
Xiao Zizai raised his leg with an expressionless expression and kicked the mouse. The mouse was knocked to the ground and turned into a puddle of flesh.
"So many rats...something's wrong."
Putting down his feet gently, he looked at the increasingly dense swarm of rats with cold eyes, and these rats seemed to be coming only for him.
"Haha, it's really amazing."
Zhang Chulan on the side was dancing as if the soles of his feet were on fire, while Wang Zhenqiu was calmly leaning over to study the rats passing by them, as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, "Sure enough, the only target is Lao Xiao... ...Chen Duo...the Gu Body Holy Child...I see, that's really interesting, Gu seems to be a lot of fun, right?"
Zhizhizhi——
As if smelling the bloody smell of their companions' deaths, the rats became even more manic and rushed towards Xiao Zizi in the center.
Facing the tidal wave of rats, Xiao Zizai's expression remained calm, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is a hint of scarlet in his spectacled eyes.
At this moment, both Wang Zhenqiu and Zhang Chulan, who was pretending to be flustered, were quietly observing the man's movements, as if they wanted to find out some clues from the methods the other party was about to use.
I saw Xiao Zizai taking his hand out of his pocket and slowly lifting it up... No, the lifting speed should be very fast, but because of the afterimage, it gave people the illusion of a slow pause.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Chulan's forehead, because he could even hear the buzzing sound in the air when the man waved his arms vigorously.
boom--
Finally, Xiao Zizai pressed down hard with his palm, and the air around him seemed to be violently compressed, following the direction of his palm and pressing down hard towards the ground, leaving shallow traces on the hard cement floor. The traces that looked like palms were covered with blood stains left by rats that had been turned into flesh.
"This is……"
Zhang Chulan's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
Lao Xiao's move reminded him of a certain palm technique that fell from the sky in film and television works.
"Great Merciful Hands..."
An inexplicable arc appeared on Wang Zhenqiu's face, and he looked at the unmoved man in front of him who looked like he had just cleaned up the garbage and faced the blood on the ground, "Brother Xiao, if I read it correctly, you are the great mercy of Buddhism." Hands?"
"Bilian also has... Qiu'er..."
Xiao Zizai slowly took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He didn't know if he was wiping the non-existent blood on his hands or the sweat that had leaked out after exerting force. Then he adjusted the frame on the bridge of his nose and tried to cover his eyes with the lenses that refracted the light. The blood color was hard to suppress after rising, "I'm afraid I might as well give you some kind instructions..."
"ah?"
Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu were stunned at the same time, not understanding what this man meant.
Soon Xiao Zizai continued to explain: "Don't try to get close to me... Also, when I ask you to stay away from me, you must be obedient..."
"..."
Wang Zhenqiu nodded silently, the curvature of the corners of his mouth becoming more and more obvious.
"Okay...ok..."
Zhang Chulan, on the other hand, looked frightened, looking down at the shallow palm prints on the ground less than ten centimeters away from him.
He knew that this man was probably not joking with them. If the other party hadn't deliberately controlled his force just now, it might have affected them as well.
Buzz buzz——
During the exchange between several people, the mobile phones vibrated again at the same time.
Northwest: Brother Xiao, have you never dealt with a Gu master? And the two next to you, you guys are not honest, and you didn’t remind Brother Xiao not to touch anything that has anything to do with the Gu Master! What they are best at is planting poison on various things, and once they come into contact, they will be infected silently.
Xiao Zizai: I have never dealt with him before, please pay attention next time...
Zhang Chulan & Wang Zhenqiu: Sorry, sorry, it was too sudden and I didn’t react.
Xiao Zizai: So... let's follow the map to find the person named Mei?
After sending the message, Xiao Zidan turned off the phone screen indifferently, seemingly not paying attention to what happened just now, and of course Wang Zhenqiu and Zhang Chulan deliberately did not remind him that the Gu Master's things should not be touched. These two people were very thieves. He didn't believe that they didn't know the goal of this time in advance, let alone that they didn't know such basic knowledge, but he didn't care, because he had actually done his homework.
But so what?
Wouldn't you touch it if you knew it was dangerous? How boring.
The three of them followed the map to the mountains overnight, with several tails following behind them.
"Damn! Does that old woman live in a mountain village so far away? No wonder it costs boss Wan a lot of money to deliver takeaways to her... I don't like nature the most."
Wang Zhenqiu complained as he drove away the mosquitoes that were trying to get closer to his thighs exposed to the air.
"Same feeling..."
Zhang Chulan also felt helpless looking at Lin Zi in front of him.
This environment reminded him of being on Longhu Mountain not long ago, which was not a good memory.
"Let's go."
Xiao Zizi ignored the complaints of the two and walked ahead. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone and left a message in the group.
Xiao Zizai: Everyone, if you are willing to come, please follow us. Remember to switch to satellite mode to keep in touch.
"hehe……"
Zhang Chulan looked at the enthusiastic speeches in the group, and then looked at the man in front of him who looked mentally abnormal with scarlet eyes.
On the Internet he is a warm-hearted uncle, but in reality he is so cold and indifferent that it is scary. I wonder if this man is the legendary schizophrenic?
He deliberately stayed one step behind the two of them and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Sun Haoran and Feng Baobao who were following behind.
Zhang Chulan: Brother, Sister Baoer... After entering, my mobile phone will have no signal to contact you. When the time comes, you must listen clearly when I call for help...
Sun Haoran: Don’t worry, my ears are very good (thumbs up).
Feng Baobao: OK OK, just be careful not to get killed.
"Forehead……"
Looking at the two people's unreliable replies, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Chulan's forehead, but he still followed Lao Xiao and Qiu'er in front of him into the forest.
······
"Bah! Shameless! It's so late at night and you're still staying here! You're alone! Do you want me to see people like this in the future?"
An old and shriveled voice came from the thatched house deep in the woods.
"Go away! Don't come to me again!"
boom.
With a muffled sound, the wooden door was closed, and a slightly bewildered old man was locked out.
If Feng Baobao were here, he would probably recognize this guy as Lao Xia, who blocked her way with Gui Lao before.
But at this moment, this old man who looked like he was about to lose all his teeth was standing in front of the wooden house. He was no longer as leisurely as when he was facing Feng Baobao. His old face was slightly red, and he looked helplessly at the closed door, " Jin Feng'er..."
"Jin Feng'er! Listen to my explanation! I was a little excited just now because we haven't seen each other for a long time..."
"Don't listen, don't listen! The bastard is chanting sutras!"
"Dele... If you don't want to listen, don't listen..."
Lao Xia chuckled, "Your temper has really remained the same...but I just like this about you."
"Alas...Brother Xia..."
Perhaps hearing that Lao Xia was still so unrelenting, the voice inside became helpless, "I know how you treat me... but you should also know that I only have that person in my heart! I'm sorry!"
"Alas...Jin Feng'er"
Lao Xia lowered his head as if he was deeply hit, "After so many years...actually...you are in my heart..."
As he said that, he suddenly raised his head as if he was showing off, and his expression became indifferent, "Actually, that's all~"
"..."
Quiet.
After he said this, the air suddenly became eerily quiet.
Card--
Suddenly the door opened.
A petite old figure with white hair flew out from it, and landed on Lao Xia's face with both feet.
"Xia Liuqing! You old damn!"
"Tsk. Why are you so angry? Anyway, you don't have me in your heart. Do you know how many years I have been a child for you?"
Xia Liuqing, who was kicked to the ground, looked indifferent, but she was happy in her heart. This trick really worked, wouldn't she be willing to come out?
