C74 A Strange Town
C74 A Strange Town
Jee Rou shook her head and said, "There is no place called Jing Tang in Da Jiang City, but there is a small town called Jing Tang in Jiangdong City next door."
Lee Yang's fingers gently lifted up the table as he stared at the two words Jing Tang. Could Ouyang Yan'er have been kidnapped to the neighboring Jiangdong City? This might not be the case, but Lee Yang felt that something was not right.
Jee Rou also had the same feeling, but after the clue was found, she could not just ignore it. So she said, "How about this, we drive to Jing Tang to get to know more about it. Anyway, this is the only valuable clue we have right now. If we don't try, we won't be able to let go of it. "
Lee Yang helplessly accepted this suggestion and followed Jee Rou out of the library.
The distance between Da Jiang City and Jiangdong City was about 70 kilometers, but Jing Tang was in a very remote place in Jiangdong City. Through the map, they found out that they had set off from Da Jiang City to Jing Tang. It would take at least five hours. Furthermore, the road in Jing Tang was very rugged, and ordinary cars drove there. I guess it's gonna be wasted.
However, time didn't wait for them. The two of them drove a car and drove on.
There were no problems with the highway and the national road, but when they were about to enter the Jing Tang, the condition of the road suddenly became very bad. Jee Rou's car, under her control, became a bumper car. Even the strong Lee Yang felt like he was going to faint from the bumper car.
"Let me drive." Lee Yang couldn't take it anymore and took the initiative to say.
Jee Rou was stronger, but she actually had the same thought in her heart. Now that Lee Yang mentioned it, she agreed. After pushing the door open and getting off the car, Jee Rou's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Lee Yang was laughing heartlessly beside her. Jee Rou glared at him fiercely and thought, Why is this man so ungentlemanly? He is simply unreliable.
Fortunately, Lee Yang did something that made Jee Rou feel warm in the end. He carried Jee Rou up and carefully put her on the back seat of the car, then drove slowly towards Jing Tang.
When they arrived at Jing Tang, it was already ten o'clock at night. After driving for eight hours, Jee Rou's running speed was horrible to look at. Her territory had been scratched, and both sides of the car were scratched. Seeing this made Jee Rou's heart ache.
The poverty in Jing Tang was something the two of them did not expect. There was only one road in this small town. Furthermore, there were all kinds of livestock on top of the road. There were potholes and potholes everywhere. Lee Yang didn't dare drive the car in anymore. He found an empty space outside the town and parked the car. He and Jee Rou walked in on foot.
They hadn't eaten for eight hours. Both of them were extremely hungry. However, the town was now completely dark, and only a few lights were lit up. The restaurants were already closed. After walking for ten minutes, the whole town was gone, not to mention a place to eat. Not even a hotel could be found.
"What should we do?" Jee Rou rubbed her stomach and smiled bitterly.
Along the way, Lee Yang had memorized the general structure of the town. It was indeed the best place to hide people. Not only was the road blocked, but the structure of the house was also very messy. Even if there were police who came to surround them, they would still be able to escape from an unguarded place.
Lee Yang thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to eat first. I keep feeling that this place is evil. I hope it's my illusion."
Jee Rou did not mind. She was really hungry. She did not eat much in the afternoon, and now after eight hours of shaking, all the food in her stomach had been digested physically. Now she was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.
The two of them found a house with lights still on. Lee Yang went forward and knocked on the door. A hoarse voice came from inside, "Who is it? It is late at night. Knock on the door."
"Uncle, we are tourists from outside. We got lost and came to this place. We want to ask you to buy something to eat. My girlfriend is hungry. Please help us." Lee Yang replied loudly.
Jee Rou pinched him from behind. This guy had never forgotten to take advantage of her.
Lee Yang turned his head and looked at him. Jee Rou stared at him, and Lee Yang turned his head away in embarrassment.
"Creak."
The door was opened from the inside, and then a weather-beaten face came out from behind the door. Jee Rou saw it and exclaimed in a low voice. She immediately felt that it was rude and covered her mouth.
This face was really scary. There were no external injuries and it was simply ugly. Jee Rou could not find any words to describe this face. Anyway, seeing this face, she probably did not have any appetite.
The old man was about 70 years old and his eyes were especially small. At first glance, he thought that he did not even open his eyes to look at people. "Where are you people from? Why are you here for a vacation?"
"Oh, we are friends. This is not a vacation. We drove around and got lost. Sir, do you have anything to eat at home? We don't have to choose, as long as we can fill our stomachs. "
" There's only sweet potato, do you want to eat it? " The old man said calmly.
"Yes!" Lee Yang nodded decisively. The old man opened the door and let the two of them in.
Jee Rou, who had always been bold, took the initiative to hold Lee Yang's hand. She also felt that this place was indeed a bit evil, especially the way the old man looked at people. It made people's hair stand on end.
Lee Yang walked in as if nothing had happened and then calmly sat on a black stool. Jee Rou could not muster up the courage to sit down and looked at Lee Yang as if asking for help.
"Miss, we came out to investigate a case. We still need someone to help us. Can you not be so reserved?" Lee Yang said with a smile, "Besides, this stool only looks dirty. No, touch it. It's actually quite clean. "
"Tsk, I'm not touching it." However, the fatigue in her body eventually defeated her mysophobia. In the end, she used a small half of her fragrant butt to sit on the stool. She still had a look of disgust on her face.
Very soon, the old man brought over a huge bowl with a huge hole. There were four or five pieces of melons inside. It emitted a strong fragrance. Lee Yang thanked the old man and picked up one to eat. Jee Rou was disgusted by the old man's black nails. Especially when the old man's nails were inserted into the melons. Oh my god. Is this thing really edible?
Lee Yang this bastard, why is he like a reincarnated hungry ghost, eating so sweetly?
Jee Rou secretly swallowed her saliva but did not have the courage to go and get the melon.
Helplessly, she did not take it, but the old man took the initiative to hand it over, and even showed a smiling expression, "Little girl, eat. We planted it ourselves. There is no pesticide and it is all farm fertilizer."
Jee Rou turned her head and whispered to Lee Yang about the farm fertilizer. After she got the answer, she completely lost her appetite. But the old man was very persistent. He just raised the melon. There was a big sign that he would not let go if Jee Rou did not take it. Lee Yang poked Jee Rou. The latter bought something and forced a smile as she took the melon. However, he did not peel it off.
In the blink of an eye, Lee Yang had destroyed three melons. He burped in satisfaction. He looked at the other one in Jee Rou's hand and asked, "Why don't you eat it?"
"I, I really don't have an appetite." Jee Rou did not want to say that it was because of the old man's hand.
Lee Yang, however, guessed the answer from her expression and took the paya over. He carefully peeled off the outer layer of the skin and broke it from the middle. He revealed the soft melon-like meat inside. "Come, it's definitely fast inside. At least eat something and don't starve to death."
Jee Rou did not expect Lee Yang to be so careful. She was so moved that tears were about to fall. She took small bites of the meat in the innermost layer of the melons. The fragrance that filled her mouth almost made her swallow her tongue.
"Grandpa, I don't know if there is a reception or hotel in town. We want to find a place to sleep." Lee Yang asked.
The old man smoked his pipe and said, "Jing Tang is very poor. There are no more hotels. There is a hostel, but it is very expensive. And the conditions aren't good either. "
"It's fine. We just want to find a place to sleep."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then come with me. I'll take you there."
Lee Yang said gratefully, "Then I'm really grateful to you."
Jee Rou wiped her mouth and put the remaining melons in the bowl. The old man glanced at them and said, "What's wrong, little girl? Are the melons in our house not delicious?"
"No, no. I am losing weight."
"Haha, losing weight."

The old man grinned and walked in front with his flashlight.
Jee Rou was a little depressed at the back. She bit her lips and whispered to Lee Yang, "Did I do something wrong?"
"No." Lee Yang's expression was very serious, which surprised Jee Rou. She wanted to ask something, but Lee Yang stopped her with his eyes.
"Follow me closely later."
This sentence was very light. Lee Yang said it in Jee Rou's ear. The heat went into Jee Rou's ears and made her want to laugh, but also her face heat up.
"What do you mean?" Jee Rou carefully pointed at the old man in front of her.
Lee Yang nodded quietly.
Jee Rou immediately went to touch the pistol on her waist, but what terrified him was that the pistol was gone, and there was only an empty gun cover.
"Mine..." Before Jee Rou could scream, Lee Yang covered her mouth.
The old man in front heard the noise behind him. He stopped and asked without looking back, "What is it?"
"Nothing, nothing. I almost sprained my ankle when I stepped on a rock. Hehe, Sir, our paths here are a little bad."
"It's normal. We've already repaired it many times, but we can't manage it for too long each time. Jing Tang is a cursed place." The old man's words were a bit frivolous. Jee Rou's entire body began to emit cold air when she heard it.
Very quickly, they arrived in front of the town's only guest house.
The guest house's signboard was still the town's rarely seen neon sign, but not a single one of the lamps on it was lit. Moreover, one side of the lamp was hanging down, and under the blowing of the night wind, there was a creaking sound.
The old man stopped in front of the guest house and then made a move that Lee Yang and Jee Rou did not expect.
