Chapter 64: clue

That afternoon, Gaoshan County.

"Yawn..."

Because he stayed up all night and was on his way continuously, even the

alchemist could not help but feel a little sleepy. Wei Wushuang patted his

cheeks, and said vigorously, "Finally, we are here again-although we want to

find out the source of the evil, how should we proceed?"

"You first book your accommodation for tonight, and I will find someone you

know about the situation." Xia Fan looked around for a moment, and then walked

towards the corner.

"Do you have any acquaintances here?" Wang Renzhi asked unexpectedly.

"Well, I met the day the ghost was killed."

"Brother Xia, was the inn yesterday OK?"

Xia Fan didn't even look back, but gave a thumbs up to show that he had

received it.

Crossed the street with little traffic, turned around and turned into the

alley, and Li, who had waited a step here, followed by shoulder to shoulder,

and at the same time handed over a hat of the same style.

Xia Fan kept walking and asked while putting on the hat, "No one noticed you

on the road, right?"

"No, this is not the first time I have traveled. But do you have to wear this?

There is nothing to cover up, so let me prepare one more."

"This is called identity equipment. Since we are going to investigate this

secretly, we can't wear the official uniform of the Privy Council."

"Then what status are we now?"

Xia Fan glanced at the fox demon whose face was half-hidden under the black

gauze, and raised his mouth slightly, "How about the knight?"

Li stayed for a long time before shaking his head and muttering, "I always

think you have an unrealistic fantasy about me and yourself."

"what did you say?"

She averted her gaze, "No, it's nothing. Do you want to do it?"

"Not yet, but there have been six evil incidents that required the Privy

Council to be dispatched in three years, and it’s really strange that all of

them are concentrated in one county. You told me that evil will not happen for

no reason, and I asked the locals, There have been no major disasters in the

past three years, and the weather has always been smooth." Xia Fan analyzed,

"Since such frequent evils have made some people miserable, then maybe we can

ask from them something we ignore. Information."

Without much effort, he found a county citizen whom he had "funded" the day

before yesterday.

"Hello, is there anyone in the room?" Xia Fan knocked on the door.

"Who is it..." An old voice came from inside.

"I am Xia Fan, I don't know--"

"Ah, it turned out to be Grace!" The door quickly opened. Standing inside the

door was a wrinkled old man who was about 60 years old. In this era, a person

of this age can be called a long life. "Thanks to your assistance, my house

can be kept. Please come in, come in! Are you not on a job today?"

"It happened to be off today, is Chow Tai Fook not at home?" He vaguely

remembered that the funded person should be called by this name.

"My freak child is still busy in the fields, Eun Gong has something to look

for him?"

It turns out that this person is Chow Tai Fook's father, Xia Fan said in his

heart. At the same time, he noticed the tall calluses on the other's fingers

and the brown skin exposed on the clothes. Obviously this old man has also

worked in the fields for a long time, but now he is too old and can no longer

take on the heavy physical work.

"I just want to ask him some information."

"Oh ha ha, then you ask me the same, I grew up here, Dafu knows, I must know

all."

"So disturbing."

"Hey, what are you doing so politely, my little place, I'm afraid that I am

wronged."

"I'll be at the door." Li La lowered the brim of his hat and cast a look at

Xia Fan.

Xia Fan nodded, bent down and walked into the house.

The surrounding air suddenly became a lot cooler, there was not much light

inside, only a few glimmers of light spilled into the roof. The feet are

uneven, obviously the ground has not been treated, and the muddy ground that

was used when the house was built still remains. However, under decades of

stepping, its surface has become pitch black and strong.

As the old man said, the room is really small, the hall is only three or four

meters square, and a set of shabby cabinets and square tables have to be

stuffed. Even if you add the back room, the wood room and the latrine, it is

estimated that it will not be as spacious. And from this ancient furnishings,

it is enough to estimate their family level, it is hard to imagine that the

other party is a person who has been farming here for a lifetime.

"Eun Gong, I don't have tea here, only well water to drink."

"Water will do." Xia Fan casually found a chair and sat down.

He staggered and scooped out a bowl of water, handed it to Xia Fan, and then

returned to the threshold to sit down, "Gongong, what do you want to ask?"

"I mainly want to know the news of the evil monsters. Do you remember what

unusual things have happened in these years? Especially before and after the

evil monsters appeared."

"Well... I have to think about it." The old man began to meditate for a while

and began to slowly tell the evil incidents in Gaoshan County. Although his

speech speed was slow, his words were quite clear, which sounded easy to

understand. This lecture lasted more than two hours, spanning nearly eight

years.

In the whole story, Xia Fan didn't get much information about the abnormal

death. In addition to regular deaths such as death from old age and death from

illness, those deaths and injuries caused by neighborhood disputes, petty

theft, and secret affair that the old man mentioned were also extremely

limited, and they were basically handled quickly by Huzhi County. If you

ignore the levy of "evil tax", Hu Huairen can be regarded as a diligent parent

official.

Wei Wushuang is actually right-besides being often invaded by evil spirits, UU

reading www.uukanshu. The com days hardly caused any waves.

Could it be that this place is naturally suitable for nurturing animals?

No, the evil spirit is not a feng shui theory, but is actually caused by qi,

even if it is a repeated cycle of the Great Desolate Night, it must be based

on tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dead.

And Chow Tai Fook's father continued to talk about evil and evil things.

"Push forward, it was sixteen years ago... When Dafu was just a baby. At that

time, it seemed to be Qujiang Mandi, and a water ghost came to us..."

"Wait," Xia Fan suddenly noticed something strange, "The last time eight years

ago, was it sixteen years ago?"

"I can't remember this wrong. It hasn't been long since Dafu was born. Isn't

it 17 years old now."

"Then—what about going forward?"

"Hmm," the old man gave a pensive expression, "it's hard to remember, but it

will take five or six years to say less."

The frequency difference is too much, right?

Xia Fan estimated in his heart, if the evil events that the other party said

were counted, there were only two from eight years ago to twenty years ago,

and there were a total of ten of them from eight years ago to the present, and

the more concentrated they are going forward. , For example, it has accounted

for six in the last three years.

What happened in this?

"So...have not seen many evil creatures in Gaoshan County before?"

"Not really," the old man rubbed his neck, "I used to be a lot when I was

young, and probably more than ten years have passed in the middle of a stable

life. But it was better then than now, at least there was no tax on evil, the

Privy Council If the officials are too busy, we will also pool the money to

invite the more famous Taoist leaders in the state to eliminate the disaster,

but now, alas..." He sighed deeply, "There are not many good people like you.

Up."
