Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 1733 Bitter Fruit (Twenty-two)

"So that's it."

Although he discovered a little secret of the old lady, Fu Qian did not point it out, nor did he even ask her to explain in more detail how her husband went missing.

It was a dark and dangerous place, even a place where relatives had disappeared, and he was facing a person of unknown identity.

No one with a normal mind would casually mention the means to save their lives in such a situation.

In fact, the old lady has said a lot just now.

It should be just as inferred before, supported by such an obsession, she has reached the limit and needs to find someone to talk to in order to continue to persevere.

"But I'm sorry, I didn't see anyone like you said all the way over there."

But the next moment Fu Qian pointed to the empty space behind him.

"…Have you been there before?"

It was obvious that Fu Qian's answer made the old lady feel disappointed, especially after she saw the direction he was pointing.

It was actually a place farther away from the town, even more remote than where Ms. Sarah lived.

Dust roads, factory buildings, various large tools, and randomly piled up dirt mounds...

Fu Qian certainly didn't come from that direction, but he knew the old lady didn't either.

From what I sensed just now, the other party's search route is still very clear.

Although she was in danger, she was smart enough to stay as close to residential areas as possible and to have houses nearby that she could hide in at any time.

But that doesn't mean she can always have this self-control.

From her occasional pauses and gazes, it was clear that the old lady, after searching the area many times and still finding nothing, was eager to try the area with a higher danger level.

Considering that the probability of her really finding her missing husband there was almost zero, Fu Qian didn't mind telling a white lie and asking her for help.

"Nothing at all."

The next moment Fu Qian nodded.

"Then I heard some weird noises around here, so I came over here. Didn't you hear it?"

……

"……what sound?"

The old lady was visibly disappointed at Fu Qian's statement, and it could be felt that he didn't quite believe it.

But after a moment's silence, she finally did not raise any questions.

When she expressed confusion about the previous question, it can be seen that her tone and expression were quite natural.

"Crying, the strange sound of a child crying."

Fu Qian just sighed softly in response to this. Although he had basically guessed it just now, the old lady's reaction at this moment undoubtedly confirmed that she really didn't hear the crying sound she made.

Although there was no tree baby following this time, was it still so targeted?

"No……"

As she spoke, she looked around unconsciously. From the old lady's tone, it could be heard that Fu Qian's words had obviously made the night even more frightening.

"That might be because I'm too tired and hallucinating. Mainly, this place is too difficult to find."

Without dwelling on this point, Fu Qian made up an excuse and looked at the crawling buildings in the darkness.

"Can you do me a favor? I'm looking for someone. If possible, it would be best if you could take me there."

But the next moment, he, who was unable to help, asked for help without any hesitation.

She showed me the way outside and gave me medicine in my dream. Judging from all her behaviors, the old lady must be a kind person. "Who are you looking for? Most of the people in this place are gone..."

As expected, people were not disappointed. After hesitating for a while, the old lady really did not refuse.

"A young man, tall and strong..."

The person Fu Qian was pointing to was naturally one of the four people who had never spoken in the healing dream, and he casually described more details of their appearance.

We should always think positively. There are only a few people left, and it would be easier to have the old lady help in searching for identities.

The reason I chose this person was that when we first met him, I saw that his attire was obviously more in line with the style of this area, and I commented at the time that he looked a bit like a miner.

Although the old lady was still in good health, it would be less tiring if she was closer.

"The person you mentioned... I can take you to see him, but I'm not sure it's him."

After thinking about it for a while, the other party nodded.

……

"So have all the people here moved away?"

The old lady was very quick and once she decided to help, she walked straight to the front.

Although he still had no intention of lighting a lamp, his steps were steady as he walked through the hall and the room.

It was obvious that she was very familiar with this place after countless night walks there.

While expressing his feelings, Fu Qian, who was following steadily behind, also asked Akons for more information.

"Well... first there was one day when, at daybreak, more than half of the people were gone, as if they had all hurried on their way at night."

The old lady didn't sound like she mind chatting with people, although the description was a bit scary.

"And every night, the number of people kept decreasing..."

It doesn't sound good, so it's not surprising that a nighttime ghost story happened under such circumstances.

Fu Qian listened and commented at the same time.

Even though I have never had the chance to meet "it", from what I have seen and heard so far, it is clear that Akons is a place that is, as I mentioned before, not simple.

There are also these buildings and culture that are quite old, which really makes people curious about what form they exist in.

"Can you still hear the crying now?"

At this time, the old lady had not yet forgotten the strange thing Fu Qian had just mentioned, and asked suddenly.

Although the slope was gentle along the way, the height difference between the two people was still obvious, and they were already some distance away from where they had just been.

"Unfortunately, it's still possible."

In response to this concern, Fu Qian just shook his head, indicating that there was no improvement.

Of course, in reality it was more than that. As he spoke, he deftly reached his fingers under his ribs, pulled out a bubbling blood clot, and threw it away.

The crying sound was indeed not just to scare himself. As time went by, special changes finally appeared.

Similar to the "heart attack" that Sarah had performed before, the abnormal change in blood flow was erupting in his body without any warning, in a way that was almost a curse, and continued to gather towards the heart unswervingly.

Although this is not a big problem for Fu Qian for the time being, it would undoubtedly be frightening if the old lady saw it, so he tried to handle it as covertly as possible.

The old lady did not ask too persistently, and soon continued on her way, but -

  laugh!

A moment later, accompanied by a slight sound, the old lady who had been walking in the dark all the way actually lit a lantern without saying a word.

"It should be just ahead—"

And taking advantage of the not-so-strong light, she turned her head and looked over as she spoke.
