Chapter 401 It's Like Looking for a Needle in a Haystack
Chen Er shook his head with a displeased expression: "Boss, I've been to those places, and I really didn't find anything weird."
"Then have a good rest tonight and see where to go tomorrow." Scarface was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it.
The information they received was that the thing was nearby, but there was no specific location. All he could do was search for it nearby.
However, the area around Yaocheng is so vast that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He was full of grievances, but this was his chance to make a fortune, so he had to swallow all the bitterness.
After sitting in the room for a long time, he left with a sigh.
The last person left in the room was Chen Er, who was leisurely drinking tea and yawning constantly.
Gu Xiaoxi put medicine in the cup, and soon Chen Er felt sleepy and went back to his room.
Gu Xiaoxi followed in and hypnotized Chen Er, hoping to get some information from him.
As a result, Chen Er knew nothing except that he had to inquire about strange things.
Helplessly, she could only continue to stare at Scarface to see if she could learn something from him.
It turns out that this scar-faced guy is also an idiot, he only knows how to give orders for weird things.
It seemed like this was top secret, so Scarface only got one instruction.
She continued to wait here. Two days later, some people came back and reported some strange things to Zhang Liandao, one of which was about the golden light.
After hearing the news, she seemed to understand.
They might be looking for the coffin. Fortunately, she found it first and sealed the entrance. There was also a spirit snake inside.
However, the spirit snake said that it would practice in seclusion after shedding its skin. Many reasons for practicing in seclusion are to advance, and there will be a period of weakness. It would be terrible if they were discovered by their people.
Thinking of this, she decided to go home first, take care of the housework, and then go to the mountains.
Thinking of this, she rode her mountain bike back home that night.
It was midnight when I got home and Ershun opened the door for me.
After coming in, she called Ying San, Ying Si, and Di Guo into a room to talk.
Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. She told them about Scarface's situation and asked them to help analyze it.
Shadow Four's first words were: "Since Scarface is here on a mission, he probably won't come looking for trouble."
"I thought so too, but that guy is a psychopath. He might suddenly appear anytime he remembers something and be on guard against what we need." Ying San thought it was better to be vigilant.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that Ying San was right, and it was always better to be on guard.
“Although the legend in the mountains is just a legend, Scarface must have received orders from above to mobilize such a large force this time.
I'm more worried about the people inside. I'll go in and take a look tomorrow. If your master comes, just ask him to help me look after the house.
As for the two monkeys, while I'm away, catch them and make them practice the skills I taught you. I'll give them a test when I come back." Gu Xiaoxi naturally wouldn't bring those two guys into the mountains. Judging from the situation, if they showed up, it would cause great trouble for their family.
That’s right!
If so, start disguising them both tomorrow.
In addition to them, Min'er will also have to disguise herself when she comes.
"Let's follow the young lady's instructions!" The three of them bowed and accepted the order.
Now that the matter was decided, Gu Xiaoxi asked everyone to go and rest, and she also had a good sleep.
The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi told his family that he was going into the mountains to do some work.
The family didn't ask Gu Xiaoxi what she was going to do, but just asked her to be careful when she went out.
When Chen Qinian and Ma Weiwei heard that their master was going out again, they frowned so hard that they could kill a fly.
After hearing that they were asked to change their appearance, they knew it must be a big deal and didn't dare to say anything more.
After disguising the two in the morning, Gu Xiaoxi went to the town and bought a lot of things needed in the village. In the afternoon, she asked Ying San and Ying Si to drive the carriage to take her to the intersection.
She set off pushing a large cart full of things and carrying a large backpack on her back.
Ying Si looked at the girl carrying so many things and murmured distressedly: "The girl is always thinking about others, but she is exhausted!"
"That's not the case. Apart from the master, she is the best person I have ever met." Ying San continued.
Only after they saw Gu Xiaoxi's figure completely disappear did they drive the carriage back to the farm to work.
Gu Xiaoxi walked for a while and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he stuffed the backpack and carriage into the space.
The first section was still rideable, so she got a mountain bike and rode it for a while. When the bike couldn't move anymore, she started hiking.
After walking a little further, we met many people going into the mountains. They were obviously not looking for herbs or visiting relatives. They were still talking about the golden light on the way.
When she was almost there, she deliberately slowed down. After those people left, she covered her face, took out the cart and backpack, and continued on her way.
It was already late at night when they arrived at Quanjia Village. The people in the village found it a little strange to see Gu Xiaoxi, who had just left not long ago, come back again.
When the old patriarch Quan heard that Gu Xiaoxi was coming, he hurriedly got out of bed and went to ask Gu Xiaoxi what had happened.
"Xiaoxi, did something happen? Why did you come back so soon?" He asked the first question when he saw Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi spoke frankly, "When we went to Medicine City, I heard that some people were asking about the golden light here, and there were quite a few people. I was worried, so I came to take a look."
“During the time you were away, quite a few people did come.
"That day, I asked Xiao Mu and the others to go over there, and they said the mountain was full of people, and it was still early for the next full moon night!" said the old tribe leader Quan.
"These things have trampled all my good medicinal herbs to death." Gu Xiaoxi said depressedly.
Phew!
When the old patriarch Quan heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xiaoxi is really a good medicinal herb that can’t be mentioned in three sentences!
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. It's late. You should rest and I'm going to sleep too. I'll go take a look tomorrow and dig some herbs." After saying that, Gu Xiaoxi turned around and went to the guest room to sleep.
Patriarch Quan couldn't sleep, so he went out to talk to the night watchman.
The next morning, he held a meeting with the people in the village and told them about the problem of many people going into the mountains. He asked them not to go too far recently and to hunt in the nearby woods or go to the other side of the bridge.
When Gu Xiaoxi got up, Chief Quan told the leaders of the other two villages about this matter. They were all waiting for her to get up.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw and heard that the clan leaders were waiting for her, she washed up and went over without even having breakfast.
"Xiaoxi, have breakfast first, otherwise you don't know when the conversation will end." Aunt Shui stopped her from leaving.
Helplessly, Gu Xiaoxi could only drink the cooked meat porridge and eat two rice cakes. Only after she finished eating did Aunt Shui let her leave.
