a very dark dark guard

Chapter 212
Guard Jia ran all over the city, inspected every commercial street, and recorded the names and business scope of all the shops.I inspected various workshops, producing edible oil and seafood products, as well as textile factories and cloth dyeing workshops.

The most important thing in Huacheng is seafood, and there are enough grains and vegetables. After researching with guard Jia, we found that what they lack most is a kind of dye.

There is no such ore dye locally, and ores are different from flowers and plants, and can be transplanted and cultivated.

Wherever there is, there is there, and there is no place where it cannot be planted.

Rare things are more expensive, this dye is shipped from a distant overseas, called sea stone, can dye a special blue.

The light dyed color is popular with girls, and the dyed color is popular with men.

It's a pity that there is no seastone mine in the entire Fengqi Continent.

The transportation cost plus the scarcity of production, and being so sought after by people, the price of a catty of sea stone powder is astonishingly high.

Those who can afford sea stone blue clothing are either rich or expensive.

Guard Jia is worthy of being the head of the intelligence/information station. He spent a few days inquiring about the characteristics of the seastone mine, its initial shape, color, and how to find this kind of mine underground from the ground.

He inquired about the methods of prospecting.

"Is there a sea stone mine on the island?"

"Yes, where there are mines, there will be a kind of flower growing on the surface, very recognizable, blue flowers, like this." The guard Jia took a branch and drew a flower on the ground.

The two of us are on our way to the countryside. We have visited the urban area of ​​Huacheng, and we will go to the countryside to take a look.

"Very special." The shape of this flower is like a wave. The petals at the bottom are large and blue, and the petals above are white and finely divided, just like the sea supporting a wave.

"The man said it, and he will never admit it. It's not a secret. Everyone knows it, but it's useless. We, Fengqi, don't have seastone mines."

"Only the island has..."

"It's not like every island has them. Alas, there are so many small islands in the sea. Finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. No wonder they are so rare."

"You said Treasure Island, will there be?" Although Yunzhou and I have traveled all over Treasure Island, we haven't touched every mountain.

"You can send someone to search, rummage through the land, and search inch by inch."

"Let's talk about it later, let me see if there is a tofu shop in the countryside."

The cities along the coast are all ancient cities. In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I really can't find anything they lack.

There is almost no market gap, and we are foreign businessmen, if we want to gain a firm foothold in Huacheng, we must innovate.

"Young lady, look."

Walking on the small road in the country, the guard Jia suddenly pointed to a village not far away, and there was a smell of blood in the wind blowing from there.

The smell can come with the wind, it must not be as simple as killing chickens and cattle.

It should be time for cooking at noon, but there is no wisp of cooking smoke in the village.

"Would you like to take a look?" Guard Jia's curiosity grew in clusters like grapes.

"One thing more is worse than one thing less." I sensed that there are a group of killers with good martial arts in that village, killing people for a long time, and the life energy group will be soaked by dark energy.

Maybe it's what people call evil spirits.

"Oh, let's go." Guard Jia suppressed his curiosity and walked forward.

To go to that village, you need to walk down the side road. There are farmlands on both sides of the road, and a small head suddenly pokes out of the field.

"Auntie... help!" The little boy with braids, about five or six years old, his face was covered with water drops and mud marks, he had been lying on the ground for an unknown amount of time.

"This?" The guard Jia still looked at me, waiting for my order before acting.

"Take him."

"Good Le!"

Guard Jia fished the little boy out of the field. The boy was covered in mud, with a silver collar with a long life lock on his neck, one shoe was missing, and his eyes were red and swollen, probably from crying.

The group of killers scattered towards the outside of the village, but they didn't leave, as if they were searching for something.

I planted air filaments in the field, and then told the guard Jia to leave here quickly.

We practice lightness skills, come and go, anyway, there is no one else on this road.

After running for a few miles, he jumped back to the ground from the treetops.

"Young Madam, what did you find?" the guard Jia asked at this moment.

"There is a killer." I made a code word gesture to him, which meant to destroy them all.

He knew it well, and knew that the village probably had no other people to live on.

Holding the little boy in his arms tightly, he found that the child had fallen asleep.

The little boy wears a longevity lock, has a round face, looks very cute, and his clothes and shoes are made of good fabrics.

I looked at the back of the longevity lock, and his name was engraved on it: Tao Abao.

"Young Madam, inside this child..." Guard Jia thought that the boy was frightened and something was wrong, so he took his pulse.

"He has internal energy that doesn't belong to him. If no one draws it out for him, he will die." I checked with my ability and found more than the guard Jia.

"That's just right, you will use magic skills, this child is really lucky."

"Fate is great, but fate is also bitter." I said while doing exercises for the little boy. He was controlled by special drugs so that he did not die when he received a large amount of internal force.

The person who input the internal energy for him has at least one grade of internal energy. If this happens, it is estimated that the person will not survive, and put all his hopes on this child.

The effect of the medicine faded, the inner strength disappeared, and the child really fell into a dreamland, clutching the collar of the guard Jia in his sleep.

On this section of the road, there is no store in the front of Buba village, and I want to find a place to settle the child and find some food and drink for him, so I must hurry to the next stop.

The two of us drove more than 20 kilometers before we saw a house inhabited by people.

The house has a fenced yard. There are chicken coops and kennels in the yard, but there are no dogs. An old man is sitting in the yard repairing wooden basins.

According to the map, it would take another [-] kilometers to reach the next village.

I have nothing to do with the guard Jia, I'm afraid the child won't be able to bear it.

The guard Jia knocked on the door and greeted the old man, saying that he was the nursing home of the Yunfu, and he went out with the wife of the mansion to do errands. On the way, he picked up a poor child, who might be an orphan. The child is thirsty and hungry now. Bring food, willing to spend money to buy some food from the old man.

"Oh? Poor, please come in and sit down, both of you." The old man put down the tools in his hand, hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and looked at the child in the arms of the guard Jia with some sympathy.

An old woman came out of the house with two small benches and set them up for me and the guard Jia.

It was stuffy in the house that day, but it was cooler to sit in the shaded yard.

"Don't worry, we're fine, just take whatever the kids can eat." The guard Jia took out a money bag from his pocket, and was stopped by the old man.

"Oh? There's nothing good at home, how much do you pay for a sweet potato!"

She said she was eating sweet potatoes, but the old woman took out two eggs from the chicken coop, beat them into egg liquid in the kitchen, and steamed them in a pot.

The guard Jia was not in a hurry to stuff the money at this moment, he put away the money bag, and after the little boy had finished eating the boiled sweet potatoes and steamed custard, he quietly put the money on the stove on the pretext of going to the kitchen to scoop up saliva.

He pretended to ask casually about the village we passed by, and said it was strange that no family in the village had a fire cooking at noon. Was there any activity in the village, and the whole village participated in the activity?

The old man gasped and said, "No way, I haven't heard of any activities in their village."

The old woman also nodded: "That's right, all the villages hold activities in Pinglan County together, but it's very lively, and some people go to various places to inform retail investors. We, the old couple, can get letters every time."

"Oh, that's really strange." Guard Jia pretended to be puzzled.

He brought up this topic because he wanted to find out more about the village.

How could an ordinary village attract a group of killers?
If you tell them directly that the village was slaughtered, I'm afraid it will scare the old people.

"The Tao Family Village is not ordinary." The old man was indeed interested in chatting with the guard Jia.

The name 'Tao Abao' was written on the little boy's longevity lock, and the old man said that the village was called Taojia Village, which just happened to match.

"Why is it unusual? Tell me, I like to listen to novel things."

"It's novelty, but it's not novelty. It's just a powerful person in Tao's village. Does Yuancheng know?"

"I know, Jianghu City, where heroes from all walks of life gather."

"Oh, that's right, there is a bodyguard bureau in Yuancheng, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard that the largest bodyguard agency in Yuancheng has a great reputation in the world."

"Hey, that's right, the old head of the Wan Bodyguard Bureau, Wan Ying Gun Tao Wuye, lives in that village!"

"Hey, such an awesome character is in Taojia Village?"

The two of them flirted with each other, as if they were talking about cross talk.

"Grandpa..." The little boy was frightened, and his expression was a little grim at first, but he finally reacted when he heard the words 'Wan Ying Gun Tao Wu Ye'.

"Huh?" The old man heard the little boy call Grandpa, and saw the collar around his neck. He stretched out his hand and turned over the longevity lock, and saw the three characters Tao Abao engraved on the back.

"Tao Abao, Tao Qier?" The old man said the boy's baby name directly, and hurriedly asked us: "Where did you pick up the child?"

The old woman also became nervous at this time, but looking at their eyes, she probably didn't know Tao Abao himself, or she might have heard some related descriptions from him, such as the longevity lock collar.

"On the way here, he was lying on his stomach in the farmland beside the road. We thought he was an abandoned child." The guard Jia's statement still had loopholes, but the old couple had no time to pursue the details.

The old man stood up from the bench, looking worried.

"Tao Family Village... This child is called Tao Abao, and his nickname is Tao Qi'er. He is Tao Wuye's darling. He usually has three wet nurses by his side, and a large group of maidservants around him. It is impossible for him to go out alone. , and made it look like this."

"Old man, something happened in Taojia Village?"

"[-]% yes, we have to report to the authorities immediately."

"Don't worry, you two. Since something may have happened in Taojia Village, I'll go and confirm it first. If it's true, I'll report to the officials. I'll be quicker. I just need to ask your elders to introduce my young wife to rest here."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, young man."

"You're welcome, my young lady has always been kind-hearted, and she will definitely help out when the road is rough."

I glared at him, and he hurried away.

There are no survivors in that village, and the killer should have left. Even if they don't leave, how can the government servants be their opponents, if they go, they will die.

That's why I didn't rush to report to the officials, so as not to kill people inside.

We don't understand the situation, so we should not act rashly.

Anyway, the killers have my breath on them, and they have already brought them back to meet their masters.

Wait for the people from the Yamen to go over and confirm the situation. If you really want to arrest people, I will provide technical support to find the murderer.

While waiting, the old man couldn't help shaking his head and sighed, "People from the Jianghu, you still can't jump out of the Jianghu."

"Wan Bodyguard Agency has a good reputation. No one praises Tao Wuye's character. I have never heard that he has enemies in the Jianghu." This is true. Wan Bodyguard Agency has been open for three generations. It is the third generation. The grandparents and grandchildren mainly focus on being reliable, love to make friends, especially trustworthy, and do business with integrity.

Martial arts gangsters/daoists also admire him very much. The former boss of the original body has asked Tao Wuye to protect him several times, and the two parties have cooperated happily.

Yuanshen had never heard that Tao Wuye had enemies, and secretly joined the Jianghu sect of Fuyu Tiangong, and there was no name of Wan Bodyguard Bureau.

"It didn't happen before. During the chaos in Yuancheng, Mr. Tao Wu didn't know what order he took. He only took things and didn't send them out, so he brought the whole family back to his hometown to take care of him."

The old man seemed to be recalling, twirled his beard, and continued:
"When I first came back, I heard that their family sent guards to guard the front and back doors every day, patrolling inside and outside the courtyard every night, as if they were afraid of someone chasing them."

"Oh, my youngest son used to be a coachman in his family. He quit his job half a year ago and went to charter a car in Huacheng Automobile. This young man always wants to go to the city."

"Poor Mr. Tao, his son and daughter-in-law disappeared during the chaos in Yuancheng. When he was young, he only cared about practicing martial arts and beating others. He only wanted to make a name for himself. He only married his wife when he was in his 40s. It is not easy to get a son when he is old." , the result... oh..."

Tao Wuye did not have a son until he was 50 years old, and he was the only son. The child was born weak and not suitable for martial arts. Tao Wuye did not force him to study, paint, and learn piano skills.

His son is up to the challenge, early love, early marriage and early childbearing, he became a father at the age of 16.

Everyone in Yuancheng knows how grand his son's wedding and grandson's hundred-day banquet are.

It turned out that his son and daughter-in-law were killed in the Yuancheng catastrophe.

But his son is a scholar, and his daughter-in-law's family is a family member. The killers recruited from Taojia Village should have nothing to do with his son and daughter-in-law.

"My children always say that the treasure on the young master Tao's neck is unusual. Although it is silver, Master Tao hired the most powerful locksmith to build a mechanism in this long-lived lock. My dear, look at the little stone on the front of the lock."

The old man pointed to the small white stone inlaid in the middle of the front of the longevity lock and said:
"My son said, this stone is not a gem or jade, it is a concretion dug out from the head of some monster...or a crystallization, as long as you carry it with you, the child's brain will become more and more intelligent."

This should be a rumor, I felt it deliberately, the stone has no special energy.

Moreover, the longevity lock worn by four or five-year-old children cannot be too large, and there are countless things that can be hidden in such a small thing.

In addition to the space occupied by the organs, the space for treasures is too small.

Pearls, pills?It will never be a martial arts secret book, even if the contents of the entire secret book are abbreviated on a piece of paper, it will not fit in it.

So the old man shook his head and said, "What kind of treasure is there? I don't believe it. Such a small thing can't even hold a golden lump the size of a glutinous rice ball."
