The next morning, Chen Cheng and Liu Su fried two eggs for everyone.
Everyone wasn't very full after all. After all, Dr. Xiaoliang's family didn't have much food to make breakfast, and the rice bag was empty...
Originally, Dr. Xiaoliang planned to take everyone to eat instant noodles, but was unanimously opposed by everyone.
After dinner, everyone packed up and prepared to go out to start the mission.
Since they were gathering information, they naturally had to start with the small villages around Kunlun Mountain. There were many villages around Kunlun Mountain, so Shen Cheng and the others were divided into three groups, with two people in each group conducting investigations.
Shen Cheng and Ji Yuanqiu are in the same group.
When he arrived at the target village, the first thing Chen Cheng saw was an old man wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, sitting on a small stool at the door of his house to enjoy the breeze.
Shen Cheng stepped forward and asked the old man, "Uncle, have you heard of Longming?"
The old man turned his head in confusion: "Farmers? What farmers?"
"Longming, it's Longming!" Shen Cheng couldn't help but increase the decibel level.
"What's farming?"
"Dragon—roar—"
"What people?"
"It's Long Ming!" Shen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.
"What farmers?" The old man still looked confused.
Chen Cheng put his hand on his forehead and said, "Master, go and have a rest."
The old man readily agreed: "Okay!"
Shen Cheng: “…”
Ji Yuanqiu came over and whispered to Shen Cheng: “Brother Shen, this old man seems to be playing dumb.”
Shen Cheng frowned and nodded. When he was asked to act in groups, he knew that this task might not be that simple.
Next, the two of them went to several elderly people to ask about Long Yin. As a result, those elderly people either pretended to be stupid or immediately shook their heads to deny it. Those with worse attitudes directly closed the door with their backhands and did not give Shen Cheng and others a good look at all.
They wasted a long time like this, and with nothing to show for it, the two of them sat on the snow and idly made snowballs.
Chen Cheng used the communication headset to make a call for a while, then shrugged and said to Ji Yuanqiu, "Liu Su, Shao Silin and the others are in a similar situation to us. Those villagers seem to know something, but they all keep silent."
Ji Yuanqiu scratched his head in frustration: "If you don't want to tell anyone, then why did you report it in the first place?"
Shen Cheng shook his head. There were too many doubts about this matter, which made them feel a little overwhelmed.
"Um...are you two here to investigate Long Yin's matter?" At this time, a middle-aged man came over stealthily and asked Shen Cheng and the other man in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqiu quickly dropped the snowball in his hand and asked the middle-aged man, "What do you know?"
The village is full of elderly people. At this time, you can hardly see young and middle-aged people in the village. I guess they all go out to work. It is quite rare to see a middle-aged man.
Originally, Chen Cheng was planning to go back and rest first, and then come back to the younger generation in the village to ask about Long Yin in the evening.
The middle-aged man shook his head. "This is quite mysterious. You know about the strange phenomenon in Kunlun Mountain that night? My father was muttering something about the Dragon Roar Guardian God. Afterwards, when I asked him again, he said nothing.
At first I thought my dad was old and had some kind of mental breakdown, but then other people also said their elders heard the dragon's roar, and when asked about it afterwards, they wouldn't say anything, just like my family.
Hearing this, Shen Cheng and Ji Yuanqiu looked at each other.
Logically speaking, if it was a legend passed down by word of mouth by the older generation, there would be no reason why the younger generation in the village would not know about Long Yin.
If we don’t tell our descendants, how can the stories be passed down?
"Can we meet your dad?" Shen Cheng said after thinking for a while.
The middle-aged man nodded: "Come with me."
The two followed the middle-aged man to an old house. Seeing that they seemed to have been to this house before, Shen Cheng looked a little embarrassed.
But Shen Cheng finally walked forward and knocked on the door twice. Suddenly, an old man opened the door. When he saw Shen Cheng and Ji Yuanqiu, the old man's face changed: "Didn't I tell you that I don't know what Dragon Roar is? What are you doing here?"
The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Dad, these two are my friends. I invited them to visit our home."
The old man looked at Shen Cheng and Ji Yuanqiu suspiciously, and finally made way and said, "There's nothing we can offer you at home, please feel free to do as you please."
Shen Cheng and the other man nodded, said "excuse me", and went into the house.
The room was very narrow and the items inside were very old. There wasn't even a TV to be seen.
Two small stools were brought to Shen Cheng and Ji Yuanqiu. The middle-aged man brought two cups of hot water and said with a smile, "There's nothing to treat you at home. Have a cup of hot water first."
"Thank you." Chen Cheng took the cup, feeling a little uncomfortable. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the middle-aged man was being attentive.
The middle-aged man also brought a small stool and said to Chen Cheng and the other man, "Have you thought of how to investigate that matter?"
Because the old man was still in the house, he did not mention the word "Long Yin".
Ji Yuanqiu shook his head: "We are still confused now."
"Ahahaha... no rush, no rush. It's quite cold outside. You guys can rest for a while at my house first." The middle-aged man said hurriedly.
Ji Yuanqiu also noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but look at Shen Cheng.
Neither of them touched the hot water in the cup.
Chen Cheng suddenly asked the middle-aged man, "Looking at you, you don't look like you often live in the village, right?"
"I work in the city on weekdays, and New Year's Day is approaching, so I came back to accompany the old man." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Looking at the middle-aged man's smile, Shen Cheng felt even more uncomfortable.
It’s not that his smile is fake, but it feels like his smile is full of flattery.
After sitting in the room for a while, Shen Cheng put down the cup and stood up and said, "Let's go back first."
Staying in this room made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Ji Yuanqiu also stood up.
The middle-aged man looked a little anxious: "Sit a little longer!"
"No, no!" Chen Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, and he and Ji Yuanqiu walked out of the house and headed out of the village.
The middle-aged man was still following Shen Cheng and the others closely, constantly saying nice things.
When they reached the entrance of the village, Shen Cheng and Ji Yuanqiu suddenly stopped.
The middle-aged man also stood there in a daze, a look of horror on his face.
I saw several vans parked outside the village at some point, and a group of men with obviously ill intentions walked towards the village with fierce looks on their faces.
"Fuck, they really came." The middle-aged man murmured, and hurriedly pulled Shen Cheng and said, "Little brother, let's go back first..."
"That's him!" Suddenly, one of the people in the group pointed at the middle-aged man behind Shen Cheng.
Afterwards, the group immediately became agitated and rushed towards Shen Cheng and the others.
