Chapter 335: Meet a down-and-out nobleman in the village?
Wen Jing wanted to stay by Gu Qijiao's side forever.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. After guarding for a while, she suddenly received the task.
Someone from the Yanjing Police Department found the abbreviated chemical formula of the drug that was discovered half a year ago, deep in a deserted mountain.
There are several mysterious manors hidden in the deep mountains.
On the surface, it looked like just an ordinary farmhouse with villagers and children. There were crops planted in the village and flocks of chickens and ducks. It looked like an ordinary countryside.
But even in such an ordinary village, people could find that the ox carts they drove into the city were printed with complete chemical symbols.
The Yanjing police once sent people to the village to investigate.
The villagers seemed enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact they were wary everywhere. The village chief's staring eyes made people feel numb.
However, apart from the carriage, the police did not find any other objects of interest in the village.
But the village itself is full of truth.
It has only been a few years since the households were established, and most of the villages in the countryside are dilapidated and run down, and people are still working hard to make ends meet.
However, this village deep in the mountains was the opposite of the norm. Every household had built a new house and became extremely wealthy.
Half a year ago, after Wen Jing submitted the incomplete chemical formula to Hua Yunze, Hua Yunze secretly told some people to pay attention to the chemical symbol.
Although the police did not find anything strange in the village this time, they still reported the matter, and the news gradually spread to Hua Yunze.
Yu Hua Yunze sent Wen Jing out and asked her to go to the village to find out the truth.
In order to hide her identity, Wen Jing took off her neat military uniform, bought a large flowered jacket to wear, and disguised her face, making herself look like a rural young woman.
Even in disguise, she is still a beauty in the village
She walked all the way along the several li mountain road.
She set out in the early morning before daybreak and walked until the sunset of the next day before she entered the village.
As soon as they approached the village, several eyes fell on Wen Jing.
An elderly man who was weeding dropped his work and walked over to Wen Jing in a few steps. He looked Wen Jing up and down before asking:
"Girl, where are you from? You look very polite. Are you from our village?"
This question is asked knowingly. The village is so small that every household knows each other. If a stranger comes, they will naturally know who is who at a glance.
Wen Jing spoke to the uncle in Yunnan dialect with a strong local accent:
"Uncle, I am indeed from this village, from Yunnan, from Nujiang, Yunnan... I came to Yanjing from Yunnan to look for my relatives, but I didn't expect to meet a damn kidnapper on the way, who sold me to an old bachelor in the mountains.
I finally managed to escape, having been running around in the mountains for a long time before I saw a village near you. Uncle, please give me some food, that old bachelor. I have been hungry for several days. Please, uncle, give me some food. ”
After speaking with tears and snot, Wen Jing pretended to kneel down to the uncle.
The uncle saw that Wen Jing looked so pitiful, and hurriedly helped Wen Jing up. Although Wen Jing's words were full of anger, he still understood them. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to help Wen Jing.
At this time, a tall young man came over. After looking at Wen Jing, he turned to the uncle and said:
"Dad, stop meddling in other people's business. The village chief said that you can't bring people back to the village anymore. It's weird that two refugees came here all at once today."
When Wen Jing heard that there was no hope of entering the village, she became anxious. She turned around again, pretended to kneel down towards the young man, and cried:
"Brother, please be kind and save me. I just need a bite to eat, even if it's pig manure. Give me something to eat and leave after I eat. Otherwise I will starve to death in the deep mountains and forests."
The young man looked rational, and was a little disappointed when Wen Jing begged and knelt down like this, so he said in a cold voice:
"Then I'll let you have a meal, but you have to leave tomorrow morning."
Just as Wen Jing was talking to the father and son, an old woman with white hair on her head walked towards them. She looked at Wen Jing as she walked, and said:
"Boss, Dazhu, the meal is ready, let's go home and eat. Hmm, who is this girl? She looks so cute, I don't think I've seen her before. Where is she from?"
The old woman was talking to the uncle's wife. When she heard her wife asking about the aunt, the uncle told her about Wen Jing's appearance and added at the end:
"Don't worry, Dazhu. It's really weird today. Two strangers came to the village all of a sudden. It's really strange."
The old woman looked at Wen Jing for a few seconds before saying:
"There's only one girl here, what's so strange about that? There are a few kidnapped girls in every village here, so it's not surprising that one of them escaped. I'm just afraid that the person who bought her will come to our house and cause trouble for us."
Wen Jing had been listening to the old woman's words. After hearing what she said, she hurried forward to explain:
"Auntie, don't worry. Someone will definitely catch up with me. I've been running for almost two hours. That old bachelor is a cripple, and they know where I'm running. They will definitely chase me. Just do a good deed and help me. I will never forget your kindness."
As he spoke, Wen Jing knelt down again.
His big head hurt, he frowned and looked at Wen Jing, thinking that this woman would kneel down at the slightest provocation, she must have been desperate, so he finally put an end to the matter:
"Alright, it doesn't matter if there are two more mouths to feed. It doesn't matter if you help one person, so it's the same if you help one more person. Let's go back first!"
Only here did Wen Jing breathe a sigh of relief. She followed the family and walked into the village.
When they met other people from the village on the road, someone would ask Dazhu who the girl behind him was, and Dazhu would tell them the truth about Wen Jing's origins.
Many people would complain after hearing Dazhu's words:
"The village chief said that no one can bring outsiders into the village at will, but your family is different. You brought two people into the village today."
Two strangers came to the village today. Wen Jing had heard this many times. She was also secretly wondering where the other stranger came from. That person must have ulterior motives for coming to this village.
And the people in this village are indeed strange. Although it is indeed strange to see strangers in a deep forest, the whole village has an attitude of "no entry for outsiders", which seems to be nothing fishy.
Although she had a myriad of thoughts in her mind, Wen Jing still looked like she hadn't eaten for a few days. She lowered her head and even walked steadily. She followed Dazhu's family back home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After leaving the yard, Dazhu and his father went to the backyard to wash their hands, while Wen Jing followed the old man into the house.
When she entered the house, Wen Jing saw a man with tattered clothes and a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses sitting under a kerosene lamp.
The man had never looked so miserable before. There were wounds on his face and bruises on the exposed part of his collarbone below his neck. He looked like a down-and-out nobleman.
The dim light fell on the man's delicate, fair, and slightly scarred face. His huddled body inexplicably exuded a sense of abstinence in the air.
Wen Jing stared at the man for a full five seconds before she hurriedly retracted her gaze. A big question mark popped up in her mind: Why is Ye Shouyou here?
