Chapter 1481 Tracking

After investigating in Yanjing, Niu Er took the train all the way north and came to Great Northern.

Tangcheng has warmed up, but it's a world of ice and snow.

Fortunately, I made preparations in advance and bought a fur coat in Yanjing, so I didn't freeze to death.

But it's still very cold. The cold here is not the same as the cold in Tangcheng. It's the kind of feeling that's cold to the core.

After getting off the train, he worked on the car. After finishing the car, he took a tricycle. Sitting on the tricycle, Niu Er sneezed countless times and hugged himself tightly.

If this damn thing pees, it won't freeze into icicles.

After riding a tricycle for more than an hour, Niu Er came to a small village.

It's really small, it looks like there are only a dozen families.

On such a cold day, an old man squatted in the corner to bask in the sun, holding a pipe and pot in his mouth.

Niu Er walked up with a smile and called: "Uncle!"

The uncle glanced at Niu Er but didn't reply.

Niu Er took out a soft drink from his pocket and handed one over.

The uncle didn't answer, he still had the same expression.

Niu Er took out another hundred yuan and handed it over.

This time the uncle finally moved, but he only moved his eyes and looked at the money, but his hands still did not move.

Niu Er smiled and took out two more hundred-dollar bills, collected three hundred and handed them over, "Uncle, I am in a hurry today and I didn't bring that much cash."

After saying this, Niu Er regretted it. What if the old guy took out a QR code and said he could scan the code to pay, but it would be completely ruined.

The old man was still very kind. He took the money with narrowed eyes and put it in his pocket, "Where are you going? I promise not to lie to you!"

Yes, people thought he was asking for directions.

Niu Er handed the cigarette out this time and said with a smile: "Uncle, I am not asking for directions, but I am asking you about a person."

The old man smoked the flower and said with a smile: "Who is it? I have lived so long, and I know many people. I know everyone in eight villages within ten miles."

Niu Er said: "There is a little girl who lived in your village many years ago and later moved away. Her name is Li Xue!"

The old man held Ruanzhong with his rough hands and took a few hard puffs, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Niu Er waited so patiently.

After smoking Huazi and then smoking the pot, the old man said after a long time, "I remembered that there was such a person. Her mother was a great beauty. Her father died early. It was estimated that when she was four or five years old, she My mother took her out of the village, but I don’t know where she went, and no one knows, and she never came back.”

Niu Er frowned, three hundred yuan to get such a thing? It's too expensive.

The old man seemed to understand Niu Er's thoughts and added: "A few years ago, someone said that they saw the mother and daughter in Yanjing. I guess I was wrong. Why would a rural person go to such a big place? Aren’t you going to starve to death?”

Niu Er asked: "Doesn't her family have any relatives?"

The old man said angrily: "Nonsense, I told you directly if I have relatives, why don't you believe me?"

Niu Er smiled and said: "No, no, thank you!"

The old man said angrily: "If you don't believe me, just ask others."

Niu Er waved his hand and walked back.

Want to play ball? The people in this village are not kind. They just spent three hundred yuan to ask something. Do you still have to spend money if you ask again?

The important thing is that I can't tell what happened. Not many people know what happened so many years ago. It should be the actual situation.

The tricycle was still waiting, so Niu Er jumped on it and wrapped himself tightly again.

The old man driving the car smiled and asked, "How much did it cost?"

Niu Er said: "Three hundred, so damn black!"

The old man smiled and said, "Do you know why the old man ignored you at first?"

Niu Er frowned and said, "Don't you want money?"

Having been involved in society for so many years, Niu Er understands what the old man means. If you don't want cigarettes, if one hundred is too little, then you can only give more.

The old man said: "I just forgot to tell you, the custom here is not to give money, but to give wine. The weather is freezing, wine is a good thing, but money is an even better thing, you can buy wine."

Niu Er is so angry, he thinks, why didn’t you tell me earlier?

The old man who drove the car was a bit disgusting, but his skills were pretty good, and he drove Niu Er to the town smoothly.

…

…

As soon as Niu Er left, the old man who looked to be in his seventies quickly stood up and walked quickly all the way to the east end of the village.

There is a river to the east, a small courtyard by the river, and a small wooden house in the small courtyard.

A man was shirtless and boxing in the yard, his fists blowing in the wind.

The body looked like it was made of steel.

The old man didn't dare to go in and shouted, "Young man, there's something wrong!"

The man stopped practicing and walked out, covered in sweat, "What's the matter?"

The old man said: "Someone just asked about Li Xue."

The man asked in surprise: "Where is he?"

The old man said: "I just made a tricycle and left. I must have gone to the town."

I don’t know what kind of action the man used. A bottle of wine flew from the ground into the air. The man caught it and handed it over.

"Tell me if anything happens."

The old man chuckled, nodded and said, "I know, I know!"

After saying that, he left. The sun was shining brightly today, so he took three hundred yuan and ordered another bottle of wine.

The man hurriedly entered the house, put on his clothes, got on his motorcycle and headed out.

…

…

In the small town, Niu Er bought a bottle of wine in the store after learning that the shuttle bus would arrive in an hour. He drank it with peanuts and instant noodles.

The old man driving the car was right. This kind of local wine is the real good stuff. His body immediately warmed up.

A motorcycle passed by the store. The man stopped and walked in with his hat covering his face.

"Boss, give me a box of Hongtashan." The man said in a local accent.

The store owner took out cigarettes and took the money to make the change.

In the process, the man glanced at Niu Er unconsciously, and Niu Er didn't notice it.

After getting the cigarettes, the man walked out and started the motorcycle.

Not far away, the man stopped the car and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Someone is investigating you!"

"Who?" Fu Xue asked on the other end of the phone.

"I know him. He is Niu Yi's brother, Niu Er!"

"Well, I know!" Fu Xue said.

"Do you want to do him?" the man asked.

"No, this person is very powerful and will cause trouble." Fu Xue said with concern.

"I'm not afraid of trouble!" the man said.

"Listen to me, I have made a plan, he can't find anything!" Fu Xue said.

The man was silent for a moment and asked, "When will you come?"

Fu Xue said, "I will go back in three days!"

The man hung up the phone and drove back on his motorcycle.

...

...

An hour later, Niu Er got on the bus and finally felt warm after drinking some wine.

But he always had a bad feeling, as if he was being followed, but he didn't notice it.

Arriving in the county, Niu Er bought a train ticket back to Tangcheng.
