Reincarnated in the world of cultivation, the male protagonist and I became brothers
Chapter 11 Missing People in Qingquan Town
Rong Nian was sitting in the corner of the inn, looking out the window with a resentful look on his face. He had come to Qingquan Town for full term, but he didn't even touch the shadow of a demon. He suspected that the head brother deliberately tricked him into going down the mountain. I find him annoying on the mountain.
"6, why don't we go back as soon as possible, I suspect that senior brother is deliberately trying to trick me." Rong Nian looked a little depressed while drinking the tea in his hand.
"Probably not. Since your senior brother said there are traces of demons, there should be traces. Let's stay for a few more days." 666 was also very depressed. It followed Rong Nian and wandered around Qingquan Town for more than a month. Yue, it is true that he did not even see the shadow of a demon, but since the head of the Tianshui Sect said that there were traces of activity, it must not be groundless. He was afraid that they would miss something and affect the plot.
"Okay, I'll stay for a few more days." Rong Nian also knew that he should find some clues so that he could go back and explain to his senior brother.
"Sir! Your dishes are here." The waiter over there held two plates, took out the dishes, and placed them in front of Rong Nian one by one.
"Your food is ready. Take your time. Do you still need a drink?" The waiter moved quickly and wiped his hands on his shoulders. He looked at Rong Nian with a flattering look on his face. Rong Nian was a regular customer of this inn and took action. Also generous.
"Let's have a pot." Rong Nian said and threw a spiritual stone at the waiter. It was really a luxury for a meal in the world, but Rong Nian never had this realization.
"Okay!" The guy held the spirit stone and left with a smile on his face.
Rong Nian took his chopsticks and poked at the dishes on the plate. To be honest, the food prepared by this chef was good, but it was not to Rong Nian's appetite. Rong Nian was not interested, but he still took two bites.
"Sir, your wine is here." The waiter poured the wine for Rong Nian, brought the glass to Rong Nian, then turned and left.
Rong Nian took a sip from the wine glass, but suddenly his movements stopped. Rong Nian didn't believe it and took another sip. Only then did he confirm that there was nothing wrong with his tongue.
"Wait a minute, buddy." Rong Nian quickly waved the guy back.
"What's the matter? Sir." The guy turned around and returned.
"The wine in your inn seems to have changed." Rong Nian tasted the wine. It was not as refreshing as the wine he drank before. It was a bit spicy and not as mellow.
"To be honest, the master who made the wine has disappeared, and this wine was made by his son." The waiter was a little embarrassed. After all, he inherited his father's business. The shopkeeper said that there was no difference in the wine, so he didn't tell the customers. Unexpectedly, this This guest's tongue is so sensitive.
"Missing? What's the reason?" Rong Nian touched his chin. He had stayed in this inn for so long, but he had never heard of any major events in the town.
"It's strange to say. I heard from the master's son that a dark wind blew the night before yesterday, and his father disappeared from the room. Now there are rumors that monsters are causing trouble outside. It's really weird. I'll remove your wine from you. Already?"
Just as the waiter was about to make a move, Rong Nian waved his hand to indicate forget it, and the waiter walked away in a wise manner.
It's weird to see such a person suddenly disappear without a trace.
"6, what do you think?" Rong Nian took a sip of wine, but it was really not to his liking, so he put it down and stopped touching it.
"There must be something fishy, maybe it's related to the demons, let's go investigate." 666 felt that this matter was not simple, but he had to go and see it to find out.
Rong Nian agreed, took the fountain off the table, turned around and went to the counter to ask the clerk for directions. The clerk pointed him in a general direction. Rong Nian nodded his thanks and walked in that direction.
He didn't realize that there was another group of people in the inn who seemed to be eyeing him. One of them covered his face with a black veil. He made a gesture, and the three people around him got up and went out.
After the three people walked away, the man stood up and seemed to go to the counter to pay.
"Sir, the total is one hundred and thirty yuan." The waiter said enthusiastically.
The man nodded, took out a few ingots of silver from his pocket and put them on the counter. The waiter collected them and gave him change.
"No need, just tell me how long the man in white has been here, and this will be your reward." The man waved his hand, and the black gauze on his bamboo hat hid his expression.
"Are you talking about the immortal in white? He has been living in the shop for half a month and is very generous." The guy was happy to make extra money, so he told the man the news.
The man nodded after hearing this, then turned around and walked out of the inn door. A gust of breeze blew through the black gauze, blowing a faint arc, and it seemed that the man's eyes could be seen glowing with a faint red light.
"Is this here?" Rong Nian looked at the small courtyard in front of him. This place was quite remote and hidden deep in the village. It took Rong Nian a long time to find it.
"Go in and take a look." 666 motioned to Rong Nian to knock on the door. Rong Nian nodded, stretched out his hand and knocked on the railing-like concierge. Its stability seemed to be unable to prevent any danger.
"Who is it?" An old woman's voice came from inside. She walked slowly to the door, opened it, and stared at Rong Nian with a look of doubt in her eyes.
"Old man, I'm from the government, here to investigate the disappearance case." Rong Nian turned his head and immediately lied. He also showed a harmless smile to increase his credibility.
"People from the government? Come in." The old woman opened the door. The small courtyard was filled with wine jars, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
"Sit down." The old woman pointed to the small wooden stool in front of her and motioned for Rong Nian to sit down. Rong Nian sat down accordingly.
"Old man, can you tell me how he disappeared?" Rong Nian asked as soon as he sat down.
The old woman stretched out her hand and wiped her eyes, "Okay, my poor old man has done something wrong."
Seeing his excitement, Rong Nian quickly comforted him, "Old man, don't be sad, maybe he can still be found."
The old woman looked at Rong Nian's firm eyes, stabilized her expression, and began to talk to Rong Nian.
"That night, the old man and I were getting ready to go to sleep. He was always worried about the wine in the courtyard at night, so he went out to check. I knew he was going to see the wine, so I didn't take it to heart."
"After a while, I heard him yelling. I quickly got up from the bed. I thought he accidentally fell to the ground. As soon as I went out, I saw the wine spoon falling on the ground, and he was gone."
When the old woman said this, she began to wipe her tears again, crying uncontrollably.
"Disappeared suddenly?" Rong Nian frowned and thought deeply. Such a big person suddenly disappeared, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.
"Old man, are you sure you didn't see anyone else?" Rong Nian continued to ask.
"No, when I came out, I only saw the wine spoon on the ground. It was quiet in the forest. I quickly called my son and daughter-in-law to check. They searched all night, but they didn't see the old man." The old woman tried her best. Thinking back, he nodded firmly.
"There is no trace of anyone... Where did the wine spoon fall?" Rong Nian wanted to check where the old man stood that night for any clues he might have left.
"It fell right there." The old woman pointed to a place tremblingly.
Rong Nian walked towards the place. There was a wine spoon on the wine jar. It seemed that they had picked it up. Rong Nian knelt down and looked at the place where the old man was standing. There was indeed a shallow footprint. In addition, there are the footprints of the old woman and her son and daughter-in-law, which are obviously different in size and shape.
Rong Nian searched all the way to the door and found no more footprints of the old man. Could it be that the man flew away out of thin air? Rong Nian's mind was in confusion.
At this time, there was the sound of a car rumbling not far away. Rong Nian quickly looked outside and saw a man pushing a car towards this side. A woman stood beside him and was helping to hold the wine jar.
Rong Nian looked at it and realized that this was the son and daughter-in-law the old woman was talking about.
"Who are you?" The young man looked at Rong Nian at the door and asked.
"I was sent by the government to investigate the case." Rong Nian told the lie without any thought of consummating it.
The young man parked the cart aside and motioned to his wife to go in first and take care of the old lady, and then invited Rong Nian to come aside and talk.
"A few days ago, the government also sent people to investigate, but didn't you say that my father was taken away because of monsters?" The young man asked sharply, as if he was very dissatisfied with Rong Nian.
"You misunderstood. This matter is really strange. Didn't you send me to investigate again?" Rong Nian was helpless for a while, but he didn't expect the government to be so unreliable.
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask." The young man was very polite and did not embarrass Ronnian any more.
"Does your father have any enemies?" Rong Nian couldn't find a breakthrough, so he could only ask about interpersonal relationships first.
"Enemies? My father is very kind to people. He only had a few words with the village blacksmith Uncle Zhang a few days ago, and nothing else." The young man still recognized his father's character.
A few words of bickering are probably not enough to kill someone, Rong Nian thought to himself.
"Have any strange people come to your door recently, or has anything strange happened?" Rong Nian continued to ask.
"Weird person?" the young man thought carefully.
"Indeed! A week ago, a group of people took a hip flask and asked my dad if he had brewed the wine. My dad looked at the style of the jug and smelled the aroma of the wine and admitted that he had brewed it himself. But The group left after hearing this.”
"Jin jug? What kind of jug is it?" Rong Nian seemed to have caught the key information.
The young man quickly ran into the yard, took out a wine bottle and showed it to Rong Nian.
Rong Nian looked at the jug and it seemed very familiar. He took the jug from the young man's hand and touched it twice, but he didn't remember why it looked familiar.
"Can you give me this jug?" Rong Nian wanted to take this jug with him, and he vaguely felt that this was a key clue.
"Okay, this jug isn't worth much." The young man didn't care and gave the jug to Rong Nian very generously.
"I will come back to you if I have any clues." Rong Nian promised, then waved his hand and turned to leave.
"6, do you remember this jug?" Rong Nian took out the jug as he walked and wanted to ask 666, but he really couldn't remember.
"What a hip flask? Let me see." 666 looked at the jug closer.
"The style of this hip flask... seems to be the one you put in front of that grave." 666 replied after thinking carefully.
"In front of the grave?" Rong Nian frowned.
"Sorry Rong Nian, someone seems to be following you." 666 said in Rong Nian's ear, and he noticed a strange aura.
Rong Nian's figure is stiff, he can't be so unlucky...
