I didn't sleep well this time.
The floor was too cold in the first half of the night, and the table was too hard in the second half.
As for squeezing in with Wang Jing, Qiao Yuan was just talking about it. However, thanks to his strengthened body, not sleeping for a day or two was actually not a big deal.
We must find Li Xiaoling as soon as possible today. If we delay any longer, the consequences will be very serious.
After all, with Li Xiaoling's sheep-like fighting ability, if she really encounters a tough opponent, it will not be as simple as tying her legs with stockings.
A day's plan begins in the morning, so Qiao Yuan quickly boiled a pot of homemade 55-degree hot water for himself.
After taking a few sips, I immediately felt warm in my heart.
[Cultivation +6]
When I arrived at the courtyard, it was extremely quiet.
The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, and an atmosphere of tranquility and peace hangs over the surroundings.
No one knows the danger hidden beneath this tranquility.
The owner of the yard was not at home, so Qiao Yuan left and went straight to the main road.
There was a murmur of discussion in the distance.
It was the group of tourists from yesterday. They seemed to be gathered at the entrance of the village, discussing something.
Qiao Yuan quickened his pace and walked over.
…
"I swear, the legend the village chief told last night is true!"
The person being surrounded at the moment was a fat middle-aged man who was explaining something with his hands and feet gesticulating.
After asking around, Qiao Yuan finally understood everything.
What this world lacks the least is curious people. The tourist in front of him became curious about the myth told by the village chief last night. He tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so he tried it on a whim, and the result... he really encountered something that responded.
He mustered up the courage to open the door and found a handsome man wearing ancient scholar's clothes standing outside, holding a white lantern in his hand.
The man asked in a gentle tone if he needed any help.
Being over 40 and having accomplished nothing, he certainly knew what he needed.
He needs money, lots of money!
Nothing in this world is more important than money. If there is... then it must not be enough.
The scholar stood up and smiled, saying something incomprehensible: "Walk one hundred and fifty steps east from the village entrance, and then dig three inches deep."
Then the scholar left.
The next day, he thought it was just a dream, but he was still obsessed and did as the scholar said, and ended up digging up two good things.
Two golden statues about 20 cm high.
The preliminary estimate is over one million.
If we take this out of the village, we will be rich!
…
The middle-aged man excitedly opened a corner of the briefcase. Qiao Yuan curiously moved closer and saw that there were indeed two little golden men.
One is tall and thin, and the other has a ponytail.
Um?
Looks a little familiar!
People worry not about scarcity but inequality. They are all a group of tourists, so why does he get good luck?
A strong sense of sourness rose from the bottom of my heart and gradually began to spread.
"I'll try it tonight!"
"That's right."
Everyone pulled the middle-aged man aside and asked him for the secret.
That’s one million!
No one can resist the temptation of getting something for nothing.
The more Qiao Yuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong. There was obviously something wrong with this matter, but these people were really obsessed with it!
"Friends, where are the young couple who came in with you last night?"
Qiao Yuan checked the number of people and found that two people were missing, and they happened to be the young couple.
One of the tourists said impatiently: "What are you talking about? Aren't there always just seven of us?"
"Where did the young couple come from?"
Qiao Yuan: “????”
Looking at the little golden man in the middle-aged man's hand, things became more and more weird.
After leaving the crowd, Qiao Yuan wandered around the village for a long time. It could be said that he had visited the entire village in half a day.
There are indeed a large number of fruit trees planted in the village, and the fruits on each tree are extremely bright.
Everything seemed to be fine, except that we couldn't leave the village.
What's even more terrifying is that he did another experiment and the golden film came into contact with several villagers, but they all showed no reaction.
Are these villagers human?
Qiao Yuan organized his thoughts again and threw away the useless information. The root of everything was related to that night.
Li Xiaoling is missing, Wang Jing has lost her memory, and the young couple disappeared last night.
So there must be something wrong at night, so... is it related to that myth?
…
In the afternoon, Qiao Yuan returned to the courtyard and ran into Aunt Li, the owner of the house they lived in, who had just finished her farm work.
Aunt Li is a typical simple rural woman, her face full of traces of time.
When she saw Qiao Yuan coming back, she greeted him warmly.
"Qiao Yuan, are you back? Have you eaten? I just picked some fruit."
Aunt Li showed a simple smile and invited Qiao Yuan to dinner, but Qiao Yuan smiled and refused and asked:
"By the way, Aunt Li, is there any special place in the village? I've finally come here, and I want to leave a souvenir."
Aunt Li was busy with the things in her hands and replied to Qiao Yuan with a smile: "This village is just like this, ordinary, nothing special."
"oh"
Qiao Yuan then walked into the house. As he passed the door, he seemed to remember something and asked casually, "By the way, Aunt Li, do you still have the red fruit from yesterday? I just ran into the young couple from yesterday, and they asked me to bring them some."
As soon as Qiao Yuanyi finished speaking, he clearly felt that Aunt Li paused for a moment, and there was a slight change on her face.
Then he looked up blankly and asked, "What couple?"
