The old man's address is left in the mission information, but it is not a specific address, and the yard with a big banyan tree written on it is the old man's home.

Yaling Township is not big, and Jiutian saw a small rural courtyard with a big banyan tree when he swept his eyes. The small village has the benefits of a small village, and Jiutian found that basically all the small courtyards here, the gates are open. I don't worry about anyone breaking in.

The banyan tree courtyard is located at the end of the village, Jiutian stood at the door and looked inside, but did not see anyone. Just as he was hesitating whether to go in, a woman leaned out of the small courtyard next to him and said, "Oh, are you looking for Lao Liu? Then you have to wait for a while, now Lao Liu is going to drink." He liked it and went for two drinks. ”

Jiutian looked at his watch, and it was only nine o'clock in the morning. It's a strange drink. However, he didn't want to waste time here, so he asked the women where Liu Laohan was drinking, and they went straight away.

In a small restaurant, it is the only small restaurant in Yaling Township. Walking into the small restaurant, it was empty, only to see an old man sitting by the window, with a glass of wine next to him, and a plate of peanuts mixed with dried tofu in front of him.

The old man ate peanuts and rice with wine, which was delicious. Of course, it's not a good wine, it's a loose wine sold in a small restaurant, and it's only two dollars a glass, which is very cheap.

"Mr. Liu?" Jiutian walked over and greeted the old man.

Liu Laohan was a little drunk, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head a little dazedly and said, "Eh, are you calling me? Yes, yes, I'm Liu Xiangrong." However, he was a little unimpressed by Jiutian's name just now, and said: "Don't call me old man, it sounds weird and shivering, just call me Lao Liu." ”

Liu Laohan looked very generous, and regardless of whether he knew Jiutian or not, he shouted at the kitchen of the small restaurant and asked for a glass of wine for Jiutian. Jiutian hurriedly waved his hand and refused. He can still drink a little beer, but liquor is really not good, whether it is cheap or expensive, it is a taste for him, and he doesn't like it.

Seeing that Jiutian insisted, Liu Laohan didn't ask for it anymore and asked him what was wrong.

Jiutian told him that he was going to investigate the matter of the vines and see if he could deal with it.

As soon as he talked about the vines, Liu Laohan immediately came to his senses and said: "Oh, it's all my fault, my memory is not good when I'm old, and I didn't bring anyone to find a place when I came twice." But I swore it was true, and I could see clearly that it was tangled in the tree, and I didn't care, so I walked over. Who knew that thing would come down with a whip, but it hurt me for the old man. ”

When Liu Laohan said this, he still had a palpitating expression, and then stretched out his arm for Jiutian to look at, and there was still a faint red mark on it.

This made Jiutian a little smacked, it is estimated that this matter has been less than half a year, and there are still seals.

Zheng Weiqi, who was standing behind Jiutian, seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Lao Liu, do you know Chen Bao?"

Liu Laohan was stunned for a moment and said, "I know, that kid from the Chen family." When I was a child, I held him and urinated on me once. What, you are friends with Chen Bao?"

Jiutian also looked at Zheng Weiqi curiously.

"Sort of a friend. Zheng Weiqi thought for a while, "When I was in Senyuan City before, I talked to him a few times. He said he was from a place called Yaling Township. I just remembered it. ”

"That kid is a good boy, but the whole family moved away a few years ago. I never saw it again. Is Xiaobao okay?" asked Liu Laohan.

Zheng Weiqi smiled and said, "It's good." ”

Liu Laohan nodded and said, "Next time you see Xiaobao again, let him also take the time to come back to see my old man, and I miss him." ”

"No problem. ”

This is just a small episode, but with Chen Bao's relationship, Liu Laohan is obviously much more enthusiastic, he doesn't eat any wine and food, and asks the proprietress to put it in the freezer for him first, and then he has to take them up the mountain to find vines.

Liu Laohan drank the wine, in high spirits, humming an unknown tune as he walked.

On the way, some villagers saw Liu Laohan walking up the mountain, followed by two people, and guessed their purpose.

"Lao Liu, you have nothing to drink and go! I deceived people to follow you up the mountain. ”

Liu Laohan was immediately annoyed and said: "Phew, don't talk nonsense! Who is deceiving people! There is a vine on the mountain that draws people!"

"Alright, Lao Liu. Everyone has traveled all over the mountain in the back, and no one has seen what you said. I think you drank too much that day and talked nonsense!"

Liu Laohan glared at the two of them, and then twisted his head to ignore him.

The villagers said to Jiutian again: "I said that you run in vain on the mountain." After Lao Liu said it, everyone ran to the mountains to find this thing, but no one saw it. Didn't there be a few more people who came before, Ling...... I didn't even look for a spirit planter. ”

Jiutian smiled and answered twice, but he didn't care about this, he felt that Liu Laohan should not be a person who likes to make such jokes.

The three of them walked up a dirt road up the hill, and twice overgrown with weeds, but it grew luxuriantly. There are also a lot of trees on the mountain, and it looks very cool when the sun covers it.

"What did I do in the mountains that day, oh yes, collect firewood. Then I came across it, and at first I thought it was a snake, but then I saw that there were leaves on it. Liu Laohan chattered.

The group walked as they talked, and soon arrived at the place where the old man remembered to find the vines. There are several large locust trees here, which are divided in the shape of a pin. 、

Liu Laohan pointed to the big locust tree at the front and said, "I saw the vine on this big locust tree at that time. Circle after circle on it. But I don't know why it disappeared later. ”

Jiutian walked over and took a look, but he didn't find anything unusual, and then looked around, there were weeds around, but there was nothing special.

"Have you searched around the area?" asked Jiutian again.

"I've seen it, the one who came before, checked all the hundreds of meters, and didn't see anything. Liu Laohan sighed helplessly and muttered: "Is it true that I drank too much? No, I drank half a glass of wine that day, and I shouldn't be drunk." ”

Jiutian thought about it, squatted down and put his palms on the ground, trying to see if he could feel anything. His palm pressed against a patch of weeds, followed by a pause. Because it felt a feeling of fear coming from the weeds all over the ground.

What are these weeds afraid of? Jiutian stood up, his face was a little serious, and he put his palm on the locust tree beside him again. Similarly, there was a feeling of fear coming from this locust tree.

It's as if there's something buried here that these plants are afraid of.

Jiutian's heart couldn't help but flutter, and there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

What exactly?
