Gu Xizhou drank his coffee and touched the sofa behind him. The sofa was really soft to sit on. As for the price... Gu Xizhou didn't intend to ask any more.

"After drinking, I'm ready to enter the world." After Si Yu finished speaking, he glanced at the time: "There are still a few minutes."

Gu Xizhou curled his lips, took a sip slowly with the coffee in his hand, "Got it."

After almost a month, Gu Xizhou re-entered the spiritual world, rubbed his forehead, his vision became blurred, and in the next second, Gu Xizhou suddenly found himself sitting in a room.

The walls of the room were moldy due to water soaking, and the walls were yellow and ice cracked. There were still a few figures around him. Obviously, like him, these people showed some blank expressions about the place where they appeared this time. He quickly determined that Si Yu He Fang Zhi is also in the office.

At this time, the situation of the people around was uncertain, Gu Xizhou did not speak to the two of them immediately, but the three of them made eye contact and stayed in their positions silently.

In front of Gu Xizhou was a desk with a file bag on it.

"Hey, what's going on here?" A middle-aged man shook his head, stood up and looked around, with a look of bewilderment and shock on his face.

"Where is this place? Am I not in the hospital?"

Hearing this sentence, the people in the office didn't speak, but all looked at the middle-aged man instead. Gu Xizhou noticed that these people were obviously relieved, and the presence of newcomers meant that the difficulty of this world would not be too exaggerated.

At this moment, a man with a smelly expression walked in from the outside. As soon as he walked in, he slammed the table and said angrily: "What are you doing to eat? You can't handle a smelly old man?"

"I'm telling you, if he doesn't move out within five days, I'll tell you all to leave!" The man lost his temper after he came in, turned around and left.

"What's going on?" The middle-aged man asked confusedly, "Who is he?"

After the man left, except for the three of Gu Xizhou and the confused middle-aged man, they all introduced each other to the people around them.

"Hello, my name is Lin Hao." The man sitting next to Gu Xizhou stretched out his hand and introduced himself.

Gu Xizhou nodded, and gently shook hands with the other party: "Hello, Gu Ran."

After several people introduced each other, the middle-aged man next to him kept asking where it was, and Fang Zhi answered his question: "The task world, the people who enter this world are those whose life time has entered the countdown."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth into an O shape, but he didn't yell in disbelief like he did when he met a newcomer before. He quickly accepted Fang Zhi's answer, "No wonder, I said how I have the strength to walk."

"There seems to be a red countdown time in the void, is this the life time?" the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

"Well, yes." Fang Zhi replied.

The middle-aged man seemed to want to ask something, but was interrupted by Gu Xizhou, "Ask after you have any questions. Now we must first figure out what the task is."

"Demolition Office," Si Yu pointed to the banner hanging in the house, "combined with what the man said just now, our task is to persuade the elderly to move. Let's look through the information on the table, there should be the information we want."

Gu Xizhou nodded and flipped through the folder on the table. On the first page of the folder was the basic information of an old man: Mo Jiaqing, whose address was No. 11, Huangshui Village.

Looking through the comments, based on the information, Gu Xizhou and the others are acting as staff members of the demolition office this time. The demolition of Huangshui Village has been going on for almost half a year, and other residents have agreed to the demolition conditions they set out. This old man named Mo Jiaqing has always refused to agree to the conditions proposed by the demolition office. Even though they gave him tens of thousands of yuan more than other residents, the old man still stubbornly refused to move out.

"It seems that we have to go and have a look." Gu Xizhou pointed to the address and said.

The six people took their things and left the demolition office. In fact, the demolition office was rented by a family of Huangshui Village as a temporary demolition office, so that they could do ideological work for the people in Huangshui Village. to the distance.

"No. 11, Huangshui Village." Gu Xizhou pointed to the house number and said, "This is it."

Walking to the gate of confinement, Gu Xizhou knocked on the door first, and soon an old man came out, opened the door and saw Gu Xizhou and others, the old man raised his eyebrows and picked up the shoulder pole that was put aside and said angrily: "I said no!" Move or not move, are you bothered?"

Si Yu stopped the old man from picking up the pole and asked, "Old man, we didn't come to force you. Can you tell us the reason why you don't move?"

The old man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Si Yu, and dropped the shoulder pole heavily on the ground with a loud bang: "My wife is demented and lost, I'm waiting for her to come back, in fact, I know you too The conditions are very good, but I'm afraid that if I move out, she won't find anyone when I come back, so what will she do?"

"Did she get lost? When did she get lost?" Si Yu continued to ask.

"Didn't I tell you that before you came here, I was cooking at home, and after a while, she ran out and disappeared. Some neighbors saw her, but they couldn't find her no matter how hard they looked, and the police also came. Pass.

"She must have gone far away. If you demolish this place, it will be changed, and she can't find her way when she comes back. What should I do?" the old man said with a worried expression on his face.

After the old man's report, Gu Xizhou finally understood that the old man had no time to look at the demented old lady when he was making lunch, and the old lady left the house for a while, and then disappeared.

However, since the scope given by the mission world is within this village, the old lady must not be lost, and some accident must have happened, which is why this scene appears.

While Si Yu and Gu Xizhou were still understanding the situation, the middle-aged man in the team said tremblingly with a pale face, "I, there is something behind my feet...something is grabbing my feet."

The other two gasped, and took a step back in fear. Only Gu Xizhou walked around behind the man and raised his eyebrows, "You stepped on a mouse."

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man slowly turned his head to look at the things under his feet, and saw a mouse at his feet, whose tail was stepped on by him, he lifted his foot, and the mouse flew into the old man's house .

"The mouse ran into you..."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a mouse running into the house. It's okay. I'll go in if you're okay. The sun makes me uncomfortable."

As the old man spoke, he swung the sun in the sky with his hands. He didn't seem to like the sun, and his brows were wrinkled.

"The sun?" Gu Xizhou looked up at the gloomy sky, the sun's light was almost blocked by the dark clouds in the sky, the sun was not that big at all, and the old man's movements were a bit exaggerated in comparison.

When the old man was about to close the door, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Wait," Si Yu said, "If we help you find the old lady, are you willing to move away?"

Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Of course, if you can help me find her, I will not only move away, but also give you a gift."

Hearing the old man's words, Gu Xizhou took a serious look at the old man. The keyword "gift", Gu Xizhou thought of Fang Zhi's gift from Lin Meng, although the small round mirror has not been used yet. .

When the old man left, apart from Gu Xizhou noticing the gift, the other two obviously understood the meaning of the gift, and became active from being passive at work.

"What's that gift?" Yu Yizhou gave full play to his good habit of asking when he didn't understand. Yu Yizhou was the middle-aged man's name, and others didn't care whether the name was true or not.

Fang Zhi walked behind alone to explain to him, while Lin Hao and Xiao Nan walked quickly, surpassing Gu Xizhou and Si Yu, and walked in the front, as if they couldn't wait to help the old man find his Wife.

When I came to the only house where the old lady had seen her before she disappeared, the people nearby had only signed an agreement, but they hadn't moved out yet. The Gao family mentioned by the old man was the one in front of them, No. 21 Huangshui Village.

The vegetable seller was a middle-aged woman with a big belly, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with red flowers on a black background. She was sitting on the side of the road with nail clippers and cutting her nails.

"Hello." Lin Hao and Xiao Nan walked over attentively and asked the woman about the disappearance of the old lady.

"Oh, you ask this? Mother He has Alzheimer's disease, but she is not very serious. Most of the time she is fine, unlike other people who are crazy.

"I don't remember exactly that day. At that time, I sold the vegetables and was settling accounts. I just glanced at it in a daze. I saw Mrs. He passing by from the corner of my eyes, but I didn't care. Who knows, she got lost." Speaking of this The woman curled her lips, as if she couldn't bear it, but more of it was a sigh.

Hearing this, Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked around. Several residents next to this place set up small stalls selling vegetables in front of their houses, and several nearby houses were selling vegetables, because although this is a rural area, it is actually a suburban area. There are many people going to work in the city, so many farmlands are abandoned, and only a few families are still growing vegetables, and this family is just one of them.

At this moment, Gu Xizhou saw a man wearing a white apron with blood stains passing by on the road. Gu Xizhou glanced at the man in surprise, then turned to the woman sitting at the vegetable stall and asked: "Who is that?"

"Oh, he's from out of town and sells meat in our village." The woman said casually, she stood up and stretched, eating melon seeds while talking, "He doesn't talk much and has a bad temper, don't mess with him .”

When the woman talked about the man who sold the meat just now, she was obviously afraid.
