"It stands to reason that if they return to their hometown from outside, they should drive." Lao Ma said.
Yang Xiaobao nodded and said: "If they came here, they should be driving. Why didn't they see their car?"
"They haven't come here yet, right?" Lao Ma asked.
Yang Xiaobao shook his head and said: "It stands to reason that they arrived at Beichen Village the night before yesterday and were in Beichen Village yesterday."
"But where do you think they are hiding now? There is no trace at all."
"Perhaps he is hiding in some house." The rabbit demon said.
"Every house is closed, who knows which one they will hide in?" Yang Xiaobao was a little depressed.
The rabbit demon said to the doctor, "What's the use of guessing here? Why don't you just go back and ask Cao Deyong or Cao Tong later?"
Yang Xiaobao smiled: "The rabbit demon is right. Instead of guessing here, we might as well go back and ask them."
The two of them climbed up the mountain for a while.
Because there is too much humidity in the air, the stone steps are slippery.
But this is not a difficulty at all for them.
After a while, they climbed halfway up the mountain.
Looking down from the mountainside, all we can see is a thick fog, and Beichen Village is shrouded in the fog and disappears.
On such a cloudy day, it gets dark very quickly.
It was just after five o'clock, and it was completely dark.
"Xiaobao, let's go down." Lao Ma said, "If we wait a little longer, it will probably be difficult to go down."
Yang Xiaobao nodded and walked down the way he came.
Not far down the road, Yang Xiaobao suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing in front of him and disappearing among the trees on the mountain.
"Lao Ma, did you see a dark shadow in front of you just now?" Yang Xiaobao asked.
Lao Ma shook his head in confusion and said: "What kind of black shadow, I didn't see it at all."
"I saw it." said the rabbit demon.
It seems that in terms of reaction speed, Lao Ma is still slightly inferior.
"I'm going to take a look." Yang Xiaobao said to Lao Ma and the rabbit demon, "You go down the mountain slowly."
"Xiaobao, if it doesn't work, forget it."
Lao Ma was afraid that Yang Xiaobao was in danger, so he said.
"It doesn't matter. You go down the mountain first. I'll go see what the black shadow is in front of you. If there's nothing, I'll go down." Yang Xiaobao said.
Lao Ma looked at the rabbit demon and wanted to ask for its opinion.
The rabbit demon said: "How about I go take a look and you guys wait for me here?"
Yang Xiaobao was afraid that the rabbit demon would be captured by the people from the Seven Star Gate again, so he said, "I'd better go, you guys wait for me at the bottom of the mountain."
Seeing that Yang Xiaobao insisted on doing this, they knew they couldn't stop him.
"Xiaobao, you must pay attention to safety, we are waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain." Lao Ma said.
Yang Xiaobao nodded and ran towards the place where the black shadow disappeared just now.
Seeing Yang Xiaobao disappear into the jungle, Lao Ma sighed and said to the rabbit demon: "Let's go down first."
The rabbit demon nodded and walked down the mountain with the old horse.
Yang Xiaobao didn't see anything after chasing him into the bushes.
Tall trees and jagged rocks stood quietly in the darkness, like one monster after another.
Yang Xiaobao searched around and didn't see any moving black shadow.
If he was the only one who saw it, he might have been blinded.
But the rabbit demon also saw it, which meant that he was not blind, and there was indeed a black shadow flashing in front of him.
But where can I run?
Yang Xiaobao was puzzled, but after searching around and finding nothing, he had no choice but to walk down the mountain.
Before taking a few steps, Yang Xiaobao saw a dark figure in front of him, running down the mountain.
Yang Xiaobao immediately realized that this was the black shadow he had just seen.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaobao sped up and chased after the black shadow.
Unexpectedly, this black shadow ran really fast. Yang Xiaobao chased him down the mountain, but still couldn't catch up.
But he could see very clearly that the outline of the black figure was a person.
Yang Xiaobao watched helplessly as the black figure ran into Beichen Village.
After he followed him and ran into Beichen Village, the black figure had disappeared.
Yang Xiaobao was puzzled. He circled the village twice and searched every corner, but still couldn't find the black figure.
Just when Yang Xiaobao was thinking about giving up or continuing to search, he heard a person say from behind: "What are you looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaobao immediately turned around.
Then he saw Cao Deyong standing behind him, looking at him faintly.
Yang Xiaobao grinned and said, "I just saw a weasel, but I couldn't find it after searching around."
"In our mountains, let alone weasels, there are even wild boars and wolves, and I heard there are also leopards. You have to be careful," Cao Deyong said.
Yang Xiaobao smiled and said: "Thank you, I will be careful."
"They are all waiting for you at home."
"Okay, I'll go back too."
Yang Xiaobao followed Cao Deyong and walked to Cao Deyong's home.
Lao Ma and Rabbit Demon are already waiting for Cao Deyong at his home.
Seeing Yang Xiaobao, Lao Ma immediately came up to him and asked with concern: "Xiaobao, have you found anything?"
"It's a weasel. I couldn't find it in the village." Yang Xiaobao said in a very casual tone.
"Okay, Village Chief Cao has prepared meals and wine for us. We are in for a treat tonight." Lao Ma said with a smile.
Yang Xiaobao turned around, smiled at Cao Deyong and said, "Thank you, village chief."
"You are guests, as we should be."
"By the way, there is some beef and roast chicken in the car. Let's take them down and eat them together," Lao Ma said.
When Lao Ma went to the car to get beef and roast chicken, Yang Xiaobao asked: "Brother Cao, how many people from our village have returned now?"
"It's not much. I think I'll come back with a little more tomorrow," Cao Deyong said.
"Oh, why didn't you see anyone in the village? There were no cars parked outside."
Cao Deyong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Going further west from our village, there is a parking lot. It used to be the village's primary school, but then it became deserted. Every time everyone comes back, they park their cars in the school yard."
"Oh, no wonder."
The village chief's home is at the west end of the village. They entered the village from the east end and did not go further west.
"Because the streets in our village are narrow, everyone has to squeeze in to park a car, so everyone consciously hears the abandoned school."
"Then I'll park the car there later." Yang Xiaobao said.
"Don't worry about this for now, let's eat, eat."
At this time, Lao Ma had already brought over several bags of beef and roast chicken.
Cao Tong's mother tore up the beef and roast chicken and put them on two plates.
Everyone gathered together and started eating dinner.
Cao Deyong poured a glass of wine for Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma.
"The villagers exchanged money for me to buy this wine. In order to worship ancestors and prepare a banquet the day after tomorrow, we will open a bottle today." Cao Deyong said with a smile. This chapter has been completed!
