Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"If you don't mind, my house is a hotel. In order to support my sister and me, my mother opened a hotel in town to accommodate guests from outside. Usually there are not many guests, and the rooms are always empty."

The girl was very enthusiastic about entertaining kind people, and Feng Qingyu didn't want to refuse.

If there is any problem between her and her mother, they are just some old, weak, women and children. As a Longmen policeman, is she afraid that she can't fight them? Now the fatigue has accumulated to the critical point of explosion, and she is not allowed to hesitate any longer.

"I'll trouble you to give me a room later."

As for food, there were instant noodles in the car, and they could solve the problem by boiling some hot water. Feng Qingyu didn't dare to eat the food given by strangers, fearing that there were drugs in it.

When you go out, there are some people you have to be on guard against.

As the car drove into the main road of the town, a sense of time and primitive atmosphere hit us in the face, as if time had gone back to decades ago.

Small towns that are well preserved and not tainted by modern atmosphere are almost unseen today.

One hundred and forty-five things are strange

"Where are we?" Surtel looked annoyed, and repeatedly poked the sand under his feet with the Levantine in his hand.

"I don't know. Without the navigation equipment in the car, we are now lost."

Frost Leaf tried to contact Rhodes Island and Feng Qingyu using the equipment on her body, but was unable to do so.

In addition to the poor signal, the equipment was also interfered with, and the sound in the receiver was severely distorted, with only a harsh rustling sound.

"My goodness, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. I don't even know when he happened."

At that time, they just wanted to rest on the spot, so they proposed to solve the food problem on the spot, put the tools in the car, and started eating self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice.

After they had filled their stomachs and packed up their things to get ready to set off again, Feng Qingyu got into the driver's seat as if possessed by a madman and drove away, leaving the five of them standing there in a mess.

After that, they followed the tire tracks, trying to find the person.

The road was long, and no matter which way we walked there was endless dark wilderness ahead, and we didn't even have any lighting tools.

The battery of the mobile phone was almost exhausted, and the charging equipment was also in the off-road vehicle, as were the flashlight and searchlight.

Abandoning teammates in the wilderness and driving away by yourself, what kind of stupid move is this?

"..."

Everyone was silent.

If Feng Qingyu was a spy sent by Rhodes Island's enemies with the purpose of killing them, this would make sense.

If you want to kill them, leaving them in the wilderness is a bit hasty. Why not just kill them directly? Wouldn't it be faster to poison their food directly?

The above idea was proposed by Meteorite, and Xingxiong refuted it without even thinking about it.

"She can't be that kind of person. You don't know her, but I do. I hope you won't put the blame on her before you figure out the reason."

She felt very upset when someone she cared about was said like this.

"You have been working with her for a while. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"

Xingxiong was obviously not as calm as usual, and his tone was a bit bad.

"Captain Xingxiong... calm down, I believe... Hei Yu is not a bad person."

Jessica tried to comfort him quietly, but it had little effect. Xingxiong did not doubt Feng Qingyu's character, but was more worried about Feng Qingyu's safety.

There are five of them and they can take care of each other, but Feng Qingyu is alone and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not encounter danger.

Meteorite realized that he had said something wrong and immediately apologized to Xingxiong.

"I'm sorry, Commander Xingxiong, I just listed all the possibilities. I didn't mean to target Kuroba. I believe she wouldn't betray her teammates. She volunteered to stay in Qicheng Square to cover their retreat, which is enough to prove her character."

That being said, her suspicion of Feng Qingyu stems from her past personal experience. Yunxing is extremely wary of outsiders and does not trust others easily.

Most of the time, Meteorite is cold and distrustful of others. She is a person with a story, and everyone knows it.

"Now is not the time for internal strife. Let's just follow the wheel tracks. There is no other way. Once we find Hei Yu, we will probably be able to figure out what happened."

The matter is very strange, and subjective conjecture is of no help in solving the problem.

Tonight, they definitely don't need to rest. What a "beautiful" night, so beautiful that it makes people want to destroy this wilderness.

……

At this moment, Feng Qingyu didn't know how his teammates felt.

For her, she was the one who lost contact with her teammates, and now she finally found a slightly comfortable place to rest.

The car stopped at the open space next to the silver-haired Ursus girl's house. It was very wide because there were no other buildings or places nearby, so each household had a large area of ​​land to occupy.

Rather than a town, this place is more like a small city.

The houses are western-style, mostly wooden, with only a few brick and tile houses. Common things in the city, such as electric lights, are not available here at all.

There is no electricity, no internet, and even no bicycles. There is a large stable on the side of the house. There are several horses in the stable. They are fat and strong, and there is plenty of hay in the trough.

These days, cars are rampant. At worst, you can ride a shared bike. Riding a horse to travel has become a thing of the past.

Feng Qingyu was very interested in horse riding and thought about trying it the next day.

"interesting."

She parked the car, took out the necessary items, put them into the travel backpack in the car, locked the car, and turned on the anti-theft mode.

Car windows are most likely to be broken and have things stolen. When anti-theft mode is turned on, a layer of armor will be lowered from the surface of the glass, protecting the car tightly and turning it into a fully enclosed metal fortress.

Overall, now is not the time to let down your guard.

Feng Qingyu followed the Ursus girl to her door. This was a three-story wooden villa. Although the scale of the villa was not as luxurious as the one she had in Longmen, it was also quite imposing.

However, the land here is not valuable, so building a house here should not be as scary as in Longmen, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and each square meter costs tens of thousands of Longmen coins.

There was a billboard painted with colorful paint above the house, with words written in a language that Feng Qingyu couldn't understand. It was probably the name of the store.

Although the window curtains were drawn, one could still tell from the outside that the lights were on. The other townspeople had fallen asleep, but only this place had the lights on.

As soon as the girl reached the door, she shouted inside: "Mom, I'm back——"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the room, and something was knocked over, probably a chair.

The wooden door opened, and the old door hinges made a harsh "creaking" sound. A woman dressed very simply walked out of the house. She looked to be only in her early thirties, with no signs of time on her face. She looked very young.

This woman should be the mother of the Ursus girl. The two of them have 70% similarities in their eyebrows and eyes.

"Chinatsu...you're finally back."

The woman held the girl in her arms, unable to hide her excitement.

"It's all mom's fault. I shouldn't have let you go to the market by yourself... I'm sorry."

Feng Qingyu was a little confused. Why did the Ursus people give an Eastern name? Qianxia, ​​could it be that the younger sister is called Qianqiu? Or Qianchun, Qiandong.

It's not surprising to see a name that is so common in Eastern comics and animation works appear in a remote town.

"I'm fine. I met this kind lady on the road. She sent me back and gave me food and water. She's a really good person."

The girl introduced Feng Qingyu to her mother. Her mother was very beautiful, with silver hair and light blue eyes. She had a cool and mature temperament. Her facial features were not as three-dimensional as those of an orthodox Ursus, but had more oriental softness.

Maybe this lady is half Eastern, which would explain why she gave her daughter a Eastern name.

The wife is very enthusiastic about Feng Qingyu.

"Miss, please come in. You helped my daughter, and I must thank you very much."

Faced with such enthusiasm, Feng Qingyu couldn't refuse and walked into the house with his bag.

One hundred and forty-six offerings

What comes into view is a retro-style living room with a warm style.

Thick wooden floors, soft and comfortable sofas, old-fashioned but slightly gorgeous candlesticks, and a burning fireplace...

Above the fireplace stood a metal baking tray with potatoes and bread, as well as some meat.

Next to the oven there is a small shelf with various spice bottles and cutlery such as knives and forks, and next to it is a square wooden dining table that can accommodate four people as there is a chair on each side.

Feng Qingyu's backpack was temporarily placed in the corner. When she saw the sofa, she couldn't help but want to sit next to it.

My waist hurts a little, it would be better if I could lie down, she thought. The sofa is very comfortable, and once you sit on it, you want to lie down and take a nap.

I can’t sleep now. I have to go back to the assigned room and lock the doors and windows before I can sleep.

Feng Qingyu pulled herself together and took out a cup of Hewei noodles from her backpack. She had eaten too much soup, so she changed her taste this time.

Curry beef flavored instant noodles, with rich ingredients and a sausage, makes a hearty midnight snack.

The girl named Qianxia took the steaming food out of the fireplace, put it on plates, and brought one of the plates to Feng Qingyu.

"Miss, please eat something. I know what you have in your hand, but freshly made food always tastes better."

The food on the plate was very tempting, freshly baked bread with butter, baked potatoes, and roast meat, all of which smelled delicious.

The little bit of rice and hotpot dishes she had eaten a few hours ago had been digested, and her stomach was hungry again. It protested in a very cowardly manner, urging her to accept the food on the table.

"Miss, the food here is simple and not suitable for your taste. I am really sorry. If you don't mind, I can make you something else. My mother is in poor health and can only cook simple things."

Qianxia turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen, limping as she walked. Feng Qingyu then remembered that she had an injury on her leg.

"Forget it, no need to bother you. I'm not so particular about food when I'm out."

She took advantage of Chinatsu's inattention and threw a small piece of bread to the dog at her feet. If there was a drug that made people sleepy in the bread, the dog would definitely fall asleep after eating it.

When the dog smelled the aroma of food, it immediately opened its eyes, ate the small piece of bread, and then lazily lay back in its original position.

After a while, there was no abnormal reaction from the dog, and Feng Qingyu was sure that there was nothing wrong with the food.

Use a fork to pick up a potato sprinkled with salt and pepper and take a small bite.

The outside is baked to a golden and crispy texture, and the inside has just the right texture, not too soft.

Ursians have their own way of baking.

“It tastes surprisingly good.”

Just salt and pepper and simple vegetables, it's a great experience. Maybe with the blessing of hunger buff, the taste will be better. Even if she is not that hungry, the taste of this thing is not bad.

Feng Qingyu ate a few more bites. This was not just plain food, it was quite delicious, like a chef's meal.

Chinatsu brought a bowl of soup from the kitchen, a special Ursus vegetable soup, similar to the borscht she had seen before.

The soup comes with a lot of side dishes including tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes and beef, and has a rich and sweet taste.

"Miss, I just made some soup for you. If you don't mind, have a sip."

There was nothing wrong with the food just now, so Feng Qingyu's vigilance was lowered a little. He didn't hesitate much about the soup this time and immediately took a sip with a spoon.

There is something extra satisfying about eating piping hot soup late at night.

“It tastes great too…”

It had been a long time since anyone had cooked for him, and Feng Qingyu was at a loss for words for a moment.

The food in the restaurant is good, but it lacks a sense of home and does not have the simplicity and comfort that home-cooked food brings.

“It would be nice if they were here too.”

Feng Qingyu sighed. He was eating alone in the small town and his teammates were missing. This was very worrying.

After drinking a few bowls of hot soup, my empty stomach suddenly felt much better, but I also felt even more sleepy and didn't even bother to think about taking a shower.

She followed Chinatsu and went up to the second floor of the house. There were six or seven rooms on the second floor, and the doors of each room were similar, with room number plates on them.

"All the rooms here are vacant, which one would you like, miss?"

Feng Qingyu glanced casually and pointed at Room 203, "Let's take this one." The room was located in the middle of the corridor, not too far forward or too far back, just right.

Qianxia turned the doorknob, opened the door, went in and lit the candlestick in the room. It was the same long candlestick as the one in the living room, with a few candles on it.

Every time a candle is lit, the room becomes brighter.

Perhaps seeing that Feng Qingyu wanted to rest, Qianxia did not light all the candles on the candlestick, but only half of them.

"Miss, do you need a bath? If you do, I'll go boil some water for you now."

Feng Qingyu was too lazy to move. Taking a shower didn't matter to him. He just needed to sleep first. His eyelids were so heavy that he could hardly open them.

"No, I want to sleep now. If you have anything to say, wait until I wake up before talking. You don't need to wake me up for breakfast in the morning."

The two said good night to each other. Feng Qingyu took off his shoes and coat, immediately got into bed, and fell asleep without even blowing out the candle.
