Chapter 323 Not a Living Person (1/2)



Finally, he went to the hospital in the nearest town. After examination by the doctor, it was determined that he had a stomach upset.

The situation is not serious, just take some medicine and it will be fine.

During the interview, the doctor also asked Kang Xingyi what he had eaten recently. He answered truthfully and told the doctor about the meal he had eaten at the old lady's house last night.

They sound like some pretty common and relatively safe foods, and normally there wouldn't be any problems.

However, this is hard to say, because the human stomach and intestines are actually very fragile, and may also be affected by the body's psychological factors and nerves.

Therefore, it often happens that a table of people eat the same food, and the rest of the people are fine after eating, but one person has problems.

Kang Xingyi thought about what he had eaten last night. Although the taste was a little bad, it was all safe food.

I think my stomachache is probably related to my condition.

The old lady is so smart, it is absolutely impossible for her to use anything poisonous to harm him.

Kang Xingyi looked a little listless due to his stomach upset, and he didn't have the energy to buy things or visit the old lady.

Finally, he returned to the city with his friends, planning to come back after he fully recovered.

Anyway, he already knew where the old lady's home was, and her family wouldn't run away, so it would be the same if he went there later.

After returning to the city, he adjusted for nearly a week before his body fully recovered. After that, he was busy with work for a few days, and finally had time on the weekend.

Kang Xingyi went out early to buy a lot of things, including food, clothes and other things, almost filling up the trunk.

If it wasn't inconvenient to carry, he would have liked to bring a set of furniture for the old lady.

But there is no rush about this. The old lady doesn’t even have electricity. Let’s solve this problem first.

It was almost noon when we arrived near the mountain before Kangxing Yida.

The car couldn't drive into the road leading to the old lady's house, so Kang Xingyi could only park the car at the entrance of the deserted village, then pick up a bag of things and come back later to get the rest.

Although Kang Xingyi had only walked this route once, he had intentionally memorized the way out of the old lady's house that day, so he didn't get lost again this time.

As he walked along, the scenes under his feet overlapped with those in Kang Xingyi's memory, and he became more certain that he had not taken the wrong path.

Just when he was about to approach the old lady's house, Kang Xingyi was dumbfounded.

Why did the old lady’s house disappear?

Kang Xingyi looked at the patch of land at the foot of the mountain in the distance. Wasn't that where the old lady's home used to be? How come there was nothing there now?

Not to mention houses, there wasn't even any trace of collapsed objects or foundations!

This shows that there was no house built there at all.

Could it be that he remembered the wrong place?

Kang Xingyi suddenly felt puzzled. After thinking about it, he quickly walked to the land to take a closer look.

After looking at it, he was sure that there was no sign of a house ever existing here.

But the surrounding scene is exactly the same as the environment of the old lady's house before.

Kang Xingyi was really confused.

He hadn't been here for more than a week. Even if the old lady had moved away, it was impossible for her to tear down the house and leave no trace.

So Kang Xingyi thought about it and felt that he must have come to the wrong place.

So he could only carry his things and continue looking for the old lady's house.

He wasn't sure where he started to go wrong, so he could only look around and recall.

The mountain was huge, and Kang Xingyi walked around the foot of the mountain from noon until almost two in the afternoon, and then he saw the deserted village again where he had parked the car.

This shows that he has already gone around in a circle.

However, what made him unbelievable was that he walked around the foot of the mountain and did not even see the old lady's house.

There's no way that room just disappeared out of thin air, right?!

The more Kang Xingyi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Could it be that he missed something?

So he rested in the car for a while, and then started searching around the foot of the mountain again.

Unfortunately, the final result was nothing, and I just wasted two hours.

It was almost dark, and Kang Xingyi didn't dare to search for the third time. He could only drive home and plan to come back the next day or ask people around.

Although the place where the old lady lived was deserted and the village in front of her was also deserted, but if she went to the nearby villages to ask, she should be able to meet someone who knew the old lady, right?

So the next day, Kang Xingyi came again. After searching again without success, he drove to a nearby inhabited village.

When he got to the village, he quickly found a local villager. He was looking for an old man.

The old man was also a warm and hospitable person. Knowing that he wanted to ask about the people nearby, he patted his chest and told him to ask as much as he wanted. He had lived here for decades and knew not only the villages near the mountains, but also the ones farther away.

Kang Xingyi thought he had finally asked the right person, so he began to ask the old man: "Old man, do you know that there is an old lady living alone on the back of that mountain? I visited her house some time ago, but when I went to look for her yesterday, I couldn't find the way. Do you know how to get to her house?"

Kang Xingyi pointed at the mountain. The deserted village at the foot of the mountain was on the side he was pointing at, that is, the front.

According to his impression, the old lady's house should be on the other side of the mountain.

The old man looked in the direction of his finger and recognized the mountain he was talking about at a glance.

only……

"That village next to the mountain, there aren't many families here. It's been deserted for a long time. Everyone moved to the city."

There were probably only about ten households in that village, so it was rather deserted.

Later, some people started buying houses in the city, and the population became fewer and fewer. Until a few years ago, the last old man living in the village passed away, and the village became completely deserted.

The villages clustered relatively close to the mountain are all deserted, so why would someone deliberately move to the other side of the mountain to live?

The key point is that he would occasionally go to the mountain to pick up dead branches over the years, and he had never seen any houses on the side of the mountain other than that village.

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Kang Xingyi suspiciously.

"Young man, are you mistaken? Aside from that village, there are no other houses around that mountain."

Kang Xingyi explained earnestly, "Old man, I'm not mistaken. The old lady even took me in for one night. I even had dinner and slept at her house. How could I be wrong?"

When the old man saw him like this, he was also confused.

This guy doesn't look like he's lying. Could it be that he really remembered it wrong?

Or is it that he hasn't been to that mountain for a while, so the families living there don't know about it?

In the end, the old man was really confused and naturally had no way to ask Kang Xingyi to point out the correct route, so he could only leave temporarily.

Returning to the deserted village next door, Kang Xingyi walked around the mountain again, but still couldn't find the old lady's house.

It was as if the old lady and her house disappeared from this world out of thin air.

Kang Xingyi even began to suspect that he had hallucinated. He had never met any kind old lady, nor had he gone to her house to eat or rest.

He quickly called a companion who had climbed the mountain with him that day.

As soon as the call was connected, he hurriedly asked the other party how he had appeared in front of them that day?

Hearing this, Xiaoban was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Kang Xingyi to ask this question.

But the friend still answered truthfully.

"Didn't you say the other day that an elderly man took you in for the night? We saw that your clothes and everything else were dry, and you didn't look like you'd been wet in the rain. So what you said must be true."

If Kang Xingyi had not found a suitable place to shelter from the rain, the situation would definitely not have been the same when he appeared that day.

So they all believed what he said, and besides, there was no need for him to lie to them.

After hearing this, Kang Xingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He really thought that all this was just his imagination.

Now that his friend had confirmed that he had indeed appeared in front of them clean and refreshed that day, Kang Xingyi became even more convinced that the old lady definitely existed.

But how could she and the house suddenly disappear?

Kang Xingyi really couldn't find anyone, so he had to think of other ways to continue looking for someone.

He had no relationship with the old lady, and he just couldn't find her home temporarily. It was impossible for him to call the police and report that the old lady was missing, right?

If this road doesn't work, there are other ways.

Kang Xingyi also told his friends about this. His friends were also surprised and shocked, but they also gave him a lot of advice.

One of the ways is to ask him to find a master to help calculate.

There are some particularly powerful masters who can calculate a person's location just by relying on some characteristics.

Kang Xingyi could also give it a try, in case the master really helps him find that old lady.

After explaining the whole story and the purpose of his visit to Lin Xi, Kang Xingyi looked at Lin Xi with anticipation.

"Master, do you think you could help me find the kind old man who helped me in this situation?"

"Actually, I know her approximate address, but I don't know where her home is exactly. I wonder if you could take the trouble to go there with me to take a look."

Lin Xi became somewhat interested after hearing this.

In general, there are two possibilities in this situation.

One possibility is that Kang Xingyi really took the wrong road or overlooked a place, which is why he never found the old lady's house.

And another possibility is that the room does not exist at all.

It's a pity that it has been too long since Kang Xingyi met the old lady. Apart from his own aura, there is no other special aura on him.

But after going there, she would be able to determine which of the truths was.

Finally, Lin Xi agreed to go with Kang Xingyi to take another walk near the old lady's house.

Two hours later, the car arrived at the entrance of the deserted village.

After getting off the car, Kang Xingyi didn't dare to lead the way anymore.

In fact, he had been following the route he remembered, but in the end he didn't find the old lady's house at all.

So he suspected that his memory was confused and the road he remembered must be wrong.

Since it was wrong, he didn't dare to take Lin Xi away, for fear of dragging her into the ditch as well.

"Master, the old man is somewhere at the foot of this mountain, but I really can't find him. I'd like you to check first."

Lin Xi nodded, glanced at the mountain in front of him, but did not set off immediately. Instead, he looked at the ground and picked up a green leaf that had fallen not long ago.

Under Kang Xingyi's puzzled gaze, Lin Xi output a trace of spiritual power from his fingertips, injected it into the green leaf, and then threw it into the air.

The leaf quickly stopped in the air, and then began to spin, as if looking for some direction.

Unfortunately, after wandering around for a while, I still couldn't find the target.
