I was just about to tell Tang Shangning something about Shi Jiangsong, but unexpectedly he mentioned that weird guy with big eyes to me and said he knew his identity.

"How do you know? Where are you now?" I asked quickly.

"Have you arrived near the Baiyun Reservoir?" Tang Shangning asked without answering.

"That's right, I'm right where I was yesterday."

"Just wait, I'll send someone over to pick you up." Tang Shangning sounded very excited, and hung up the phone after saying this.

I am a little puzzled, but more curious.

Now I can't care about Shi Jiangsong anymore, so I turned back and told Shi Jiangsong that there was an accident, let him walk around the reservoir first, but don't get close to the reservoir, because in the last two days, the reservoir will have a special dispatch team People stare and keep ordinary people away.

Shi Jiangsong nodded and said, "Don't worry about me, you go and do your work first, and just call me when you're done."

I responded, and Shi Jiangsong turned around and walked towards the distance.

I waited on the spot for a while, and soon a person from the special adjustment team drove towards me on a motorcycle. newcomer.

"Wu...Master Wu, Director Tang asked me to come pick you up." The young man said nervously.

I smiled and got on the back of his motorcycle.

The young man drove very steadily. He drove me around the reservoir for a while, and drove straight to a village not far from the reservoir.

Not long after, the young man took me to a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village, stopped the motorcycle, and talked about the place.

After following the young man from the special transfer team into the yard, I soon saw a lot of people standing in the yard, most of them were from the special transfer team, and there were a few who, judging by their attire, should be from this village villagers.

When I entered the yard just now, I felt a little strange.

This house is lonely, just at the head of the village, a little far away from the rest of the houses in the village, as if isolated.

After I walked to the yard, I saw Tang Shangning with several villagers, as if they were talking about something.

As soon as I walked over here, Tang Shangning saw me, with a serious expression on his face, he waved at me, motioning for me to come over.

"Uncle Tang..."

As soon as I was about to say something, Tang Shangning waved his hand, interrupted me, and said, "Xiaojie, after you leave, we will follow the image of the big-eyed weirdo you described to us to check the identity of that person. For the details, I also called up a lot of files of the special investigation team to check whether there is such a person in the rivers and lakes. After searching for a long time, there is no clue. Unexpectedly, people in the nearby villages knew him."

"No way, that strange man with big eyes is from a nearby village?" This surprised me very much.

"That's right, the big-eyed monster you met is from this village." Uncle Tang said a little excitedly.

"Really?" I still feel a little unbelievable.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask this uncle, he knows the big-eyed weirdo you mentioned." Uncle Tang looked at an old man in his 70s.

I turned to look at the old man, and asked politely, "Old man, is there anyone in your village who is in their 40s and has big eyes, like goldfish eyes, protruding out of the eye sockets?"

"Yes, yes, that man's name is Chen Guilong, who is from our village. He is over 40 years old and has not yet married a wife. His parents died early and he is ugly. People in the village reject him. When he was a child, no one wanted to play with him, so he was very withdrawn. He lived alone in the village, walking around all day, and he didn't know what he was doing. Just a month ago, Chen Guilong suddenly left the village. He disappeared, no one knows where he went, why are you looking for him?" The old man looked at us very curiously.

"Is he alone all the time? There are no relatives or friends in the village?" I asked again.

The old man smiled and said: "Where does he have any relatives and friends, I wish I could avoid him far away. His big eyes are scary to look at. Since childhood, people in the village have called him Niubanyan. Everyone laughed at him, and many people and children chased him and beat him, but there is one thing to say, Chen Guilong's water skills are very good, and no one in the ten miles and eight villages is better than him. When he was more than ten years old, he dared to swim. If a person swims in the reservoir and can stay underwater for half an hour without coming up, an ordinary person would have drowned long ago.”

Hearing what the old man said, I couldn't help sighing, and suddenly remembered what happened to me when I was a child.

Similar to this Chen Guilong, I was considered a born demon, and the children in the village would avoid me when they saw me and call me a freak, but Chen Guilong has a pair of very big eyes because he looks different from other children , was also considered an outlier, and he was given a very naughty nickname.

But I'm luckier than Chen Guilong. When I was young, I had at least a little chubby to play with me, but Chen Guilong didn't have any friends, nor did he have any parents.

Under such circumstances, Chen Guilong's personality will definitely be withdrawn, and he will even have some extreme thoughts.

But what I can't figure out is that even if Chen Guilong is extremely talented and has excellent water skills, it is impossible for him to become such a powerful practitioner without a teacher. Even I am no match for him.

In order to clarify these, I continued to ask: "Old man, how did his parents die?"

"Speaking of which, Chen Guilong is quite pitiful. Our village relies on such a large reservoir. As the saying goes, people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. The people in the village probably make a living by fishing. When Chen Guilong was more than ten years old, he When my parents went fishing in the reservoir, suddenly there was a strong wind and storm, and the boat capsized in the reservoir, and his parents drowned in the water. Chen Guilong became an orphan and grew up alone. I don’t know how much I have suffered. A few years ago, life was a little easier. He contracted a part of the reservoir to raise fish and made some money. As a result, someone in the village saw that he was jealous of making money, so he took the contracted fish. A piece of fish pond was snatched away, and he was beaten up."

"Since then, Chen Guilong has been hiding in his room all day without going out, and he doesn't know what he's doing. No one in the village cares about him. If you didn't look for him, the village would have almost forgotten about him." The old man said in one breath.

While we were chatting with this old man, a person from the special dispatch team suddenly came out of Chen Guilong's dilapidated house, holding something in his hand, and shook towards us: "Ju Tang, there is a major I found out that a notebook of Chen Guilong was found here!"
