I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

"..." Xiaobei was speechless for a moment, then said dully, "The guest officer should just tell you where you are going."

Ji Qinglin smiled and said, "Yujia Bay."

"Yujiawan," Xiaobei rolled his eyes while pinching his chin, and immediately waved, "Come on! Guest officer, come with me."

The two followed him into the backyard, and Xiaobei patted a nearby carriageway: "Yujia Bay is in a mountain depression, and the mountain road is difficult to find. Ordinary cars can't get there, and the guest officer hurt his feet. Our car, The frame is small, and it is just right for the mountain road. No detours, no stops, and it will be delivered to you steadily!"

Ji Qinglin was shocked again, thinking: This man's eloquence is no less than that of the teahouse storyteller. If I had money, I'm afraid I can't help but tip my pocket for it, right?

However, Xiaobei ignored the reaction of the two of them, jumped into the car and sat down, waved his big hand and said: "As soon as we say go, let's go, there are all roads at the foot of the road! The horse is in front, the car is behind, hold your head high Don't look back! What is the guest officer still doing in a daze? Let's go?"

Ji Qinglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It had only been so long since he stepped in the door, and Xiaobei had already bluffed people into a dizzy state. He felt that if he didn't get on his car at this time, he would be sorry for him. There are such capable people in such a small station. 360 rows of champions.

Xie Wuyi didn't say a word, just handed over the money and got into the car, Ji Qinglin followed, still not satisfied.

Xiao Bei looked down at the silver, and thought to himself that the two of them were no ordinary people just by their clothes.

Putting the money into his arms, Xiao Bei cheerfully said to the two of them: "I drive, the safest, you two don't have to think about anything, just squint your eyes, have a dream, and when you wake up, you will be sure to arrive at the place!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and set off on his horse.

Not only was Xiaobei eloquent when doing business, he never stopped even on the road, chattering on and on, introducing the terrain, mountains, customs and history of Yujiawan to the two of them.

This Yujia Bay is located in a small town called Yaotao, which is in the southeast of Yunzhou in terms of location.

It is a backwater bay downstream of a waterfall, where several villages are gathered, all of which live near the water. Most of the villagers make a living by fishing and hunting, which can be regarded as self-sufficient.

According to Xiaobei, it is considered a little-known place, except for the local villagers, few outsiders go there. If he hadn't seen a lot of guests traveling all over the years, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to know about such a small place. specific location.

As Xiaobei said, he was driving extremely smoothly, without encountering any bumps along the way, and there was no delay except for occasional stops to eat and rest on the way.

After arriving in Yaotao Town, about two hours later, the carriage stopped.

Xiaobei lifted the curtain of the car and said to the two: "Guest officers, Yujia Bay is not far ahead, I think I will park the car here and wait for the two of you to come back here."

Ji Qing asked with a smile: "How do you know we will come back?"

Xiaobei smiled cleverly, and said, "I don't think you two are people from Yujiawan. You must be here to visit friends or do business, so you have to come back?"

Ji Qinglin saw that his analysis was clear and logical, so he didn't say much, and got out of the car with Xie Wuyi.

Looking left and right, both sides of the car are covered with dead trees with fallen leaves, the ground is covered with golden yellow leaves, and the trees in front of them are getting denser, making it difficult to drive forward, so I understand why Xiao Bei asked them to get out of the car and walk here .

There was a river meandering beside the forest, and the two of them walked upstream along the river, and soon they vaguely saw the location of the bay.

There are wooden houses by the bay, one after another, with almost no interruption, all the way to the bottom of the waterfall in the distance.

There are all kinds of waterwheels and drainages near the water. The furs of wild animals are drying at the door of every house, and there are large and small wine-making crocks piled up next to them. There are also many fresh fish and shrimps in bamboo baskets. Down, it looks alive and well.

There are many huge boulders protruding from the meandering river. Several men stood on the scattered boulders with their trousers on, pulling nets in their hands, wondering if they were fishing.

On the shore, mothers-in-law and women sat and chatted together, pounding clothes and washing rice, and there were children chasing and playing beside them, laughing again and again.

Ji Qinglin stopped, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "This place is really like the 'paradise' mentioned in the book."

Xie Wuyi heard the words, turned his head to look at him, and said: "This place is located in Yaotao Town, which was in Qiong Kingdom thousands of years ago."

Ji Qinglin didn't know how Jie Wuyi's words had anything to do with his emotion just now, so he blinked, a little confused: "So?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Before Daluan unified all the countries, the scenery of Qiong Kingdom was the best among all the countries."

Ji Qinglin nodded ignorantly, he didn't know much about the history of Daluan, so when Xie Wuyi said that, he just listened.

Xie Wuyi said again: "In autumn now, it's hard to see the peach blossoms blooming. When spring comes, Yaotao Town will be as beautiful as its name."

Ji Qinglin suddenly smiled and said, "Then I must come to open my eyes."

Xie Wuyi didn't say any more, and the two continued to walk forward.

As soon as he approached, a few domestic dogs, big and small, with different fur and color, sprang out from nowhere, and barked at the two of them.

With the sound of the dog barking, all the villagers gathered over there stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

Ji Qinglin felt a little embarrassed, but Xie Wuyi's footsteps did not stop because of this, and he continued to move forward, passing through the group of dogs to the place where the crowd gathered.

Ji Qinglin stepped up to follow, and the dogs followed the two of them and sniffed closer, then quickly wagged their tails as if they had let down their vigilance, and then jumped and ran away.

Everyone by the lake looked the two of them up and down, and it was obvious that they were not residents of this place, and they were all a little curious about what they came here for.

After they approached, a woman who washed clothes put down the clothes in her hands and stood up, asking a little cautiously, "Who are you two?"

Being stared at by so many people, Ji Qinglin was also a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters-in-law, don't blame me, the two of us came from Yunzhou, and we came here to inquire about someone. "

The woman wiped her hands on her body and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Ji Qinglin said: "I wonder if there is a Granny An here?"

When everyone heard the name, they looked at each other, and then at a middle-aged man standing on a boulder in the river.

The man jumped off the rock and came across the water, and before he could put down his trouser legs after landing, he asked, "Why do you two ask about Granny An? But what happened to her?"

Ji Qinglin was taken aback, not understanding why everyone would look at this man when they heard Granny An, could this be Granny An's son?But if it's a son, why doesn't he call her "my mother", but also calls her Granny An?

For a while, Ji Qinglin didn't know how to explain why he came here. This matter is more complicated, and if he said too much, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he simply took out the previous official token and said: "The two of us were ordered to investigate the case. It has something to do with Granny An, so I came here to investigate, I heard that Granny An has a grandson, I wonder if she has other relatives?"

When everyone heard the word "official government", they didn't know what they thought, and suddenly turned their heads and continued with what they were busy with, and even deliberately stayed away from the two of them, only the man was still standing in front of him, looking Some at a loss.

Ji Qinglin didn't expect this to happen, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't panic, brother, we're just here to ask a few questions, and we'll leave after we're done."

The man nodded slightly, leaned over and lowered his trouser legs, and said to the two: "You two come with me."

As he spoke, he led the two of them barefoot towards the waterfall, and when they arrived at a wooden house, they stepped up the wooden steps and called into the house: "Ling Lan, a guest is here."

"guest?"

There was a questioning question from the room, and then the door was opened, a woman came out of the room, she was taken aback when she saw the man leading the two, and said: "This is..."

The man said: "The government investigators said they wanted to inquire about Granny An."

The woman was still a little confused, but she still turned sideways to open the door and said, "Oh, those two sit in the room."

Ji Qinglin smiled at her, walked into the door, and saw a seven or eight-year-old child with his back to the door, squatting by the stove, throwing something into the fire.

As soon as the woman turned around and saw it, she immediately shouted: "Aman, don't play with fire!"

She hurriedly walked to the child and pulled him over. When the child turned around, Ji Qinglin saw that there was charcoal-like dirt all over his face and body, and he grinned stupidly, as if saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The woman took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth for him, dragged him to sit down at the table, handed him a piece of dried meat from the table, touched his head and said, "Sit down and eat, don't move around, listen Have you arrived yet?"

The child acted as if he had never heard of it, and smiled as he handed the jerky to his mouth, not knowing whether he was licking or biting, as if he couldn't understand the woman's words at all.

The woman turned around and asked the two to sit down, took a pot from the side and poured two glasses of water for the two, saying: "There is no tea at home, only plain water, you two just drink it."

Ji Qinglin took the cup and nodded his thanks, then turned his head to look at the child, and said doubtfully, "He is..."

The man had already changed clothes and came out of the back room. He washed his hands while taking a ladle of water from the water tank and replied, "He is the grandson of Grandma An, whose nickname is Aman. Silly, Granny An put him in my house before she left, and let us take care of him."

Ji Qinglin nodded. It's no wonder that when Granny An was mentioned just now, those people all looked at this man. It turned out that the neighbors that Granny An entrusted to take care of her grandson were the husband and wife.

Aman seemed to understand that someone was calling him, he raised his head and smiled with dull eyes, but didn't speak.

The woman handed her husband a towel to wipe his hands, then sat down beside Aman, gently embraced his shoulders, looked at the two of them and asked worriedly, "Why did you two come here to inquire about Granny An? What happened? Why did it alert the government?"

Ji Qinglin briefly told them about the Luming Mountain Villa, the husband and wife were both surprised, the man frowned and said: "You... did you make a mistake? Granny An has always kept her own place, how could she be with bad people?"

Ji Qinglin said: "I still don't know if she was coerced by others, so I came here to ask you, what does she do on weekdays, and who has she had contact with? Before going to Luming Mountain Villa, was she Anything unusual?"
