Xiao Musheng looked outside and saw a car similar to his parked not far away.

He is one of his people and should have investigated this village.

He looked to the side again and inadvertently met the eyes of the aunts and grandmas who were enjoying the cool under a big tree at the entrance of the village. After staring at each other for a few seconds, his eyebrows jumped and he looked away first.

The boy unbuckled his seatbelt and called out to him with a grin, "Come on, big brother. That's the intelligence organization at the entrance of our village."

After saying that, he added playfully, "Don't worry, big brother, they will definitely talk about you."

Xiao Musheng was amused. He narrowed his eyes, picked up the phone beside him, opened the car door and got out.

The boy walked beside him, and when he passed the intelligence organization at the entrance of the village, he held his head high and chest out, without any embarrassment or shyness, like a general who had won a battle.

He was jumping around in front, while Xiao Musheng was looking at his phone behind him, walking a little slower.

He was looking at the survey results just sent by his subordinates.

The people sent out had almost finished their investigation. In the first year, eight cases of the drug were sold. The first person bought the drug in April, and the last in July, a three-month gap.

The second year it is eleven, from June to August.

In the third year, which was last month, the number was the largest. The exact number has not been found out yet, but it was around twenty, and most of them were old customers who had bought his medicine before.

Looking at the statistical transaction time and table, Xiao Musheng gradually developed a bad premonition in his heart.

This man used to be very leisurely, selling medicine as if he was slowly screening customers. He sold eight in three months, eleven in two months, and now he sells twenty in a month.

So urgent, it seems like you are short of money.

The bad premonition became stronger and stronger. Xiao Musheng put away his phone, stopped looking at it, and walked away quickly.

To save time, he said to the boy, "Let's go directly to the uncle's house you mentioned."

The boy was stunned, and although he felt a little disappointed, he immediately changed direction.

He almost ran the way.

The uncle he was talking about was at the entrance of the village. His house was a low bungalow sandwiched between two two-story buildings. The boy said that he had spent all his money on medical treatment, so his house was the only one in the village that had not been repaired.

When you enter the door, you can see bacon and dried fish hanging on bamboo hooks on the beams.

The chickens and ducks in the yard were pacing back and forth. A big yellow dog was tied under the small shed. When it saw a stranger coming in, it stood up and barked at the person. The iron chain around its neck was pulled by it, making a loud noise. The chickens and ducks, which had been relatively peaceful, were frightened and ran away.

As soon as I walked in, two people came out, both of them were acquaintances.

Seeing Xiao Musheng, they quickly asked, "Second Master, why are you here too?"

Xiao Musheng didn't answer. After walking out with the two of them, he found a place to stand and asked, "What did you find out?"

The three men stood behind the house. They were all tall, and the boy following them was about as tall as their waist.

He also raised his head curiously and listened, his bright big eyes impossible to ignore.

Xiao Musheng wanted to touch the cigarette, but when he saw the boy, he paused and put the cigarette back.

"The situation isn't looking good. The family we just visited said that when they met the drug dealer three days ago, he told them he would leave this place."

"So this family bought two pills to keep as a backup, and I bought one from him for 20,000 yuan."

As he spoke, the man reached into his pocket, took out a small tin box of chewing gum and handed it to Xiao Musheng.

After opening it, the first thing that comes out is the mint smell of the original chewing gum, mixed with a fresh fragrance, which makes people feel cool when inhaled into the body.

Xiao Musheng closed the lid with a click. He rubbed the edge of the box with his fingers, intermittently, his eyes looking in a certain direction, as if thinking about something.

When he heard his subordinates say that the medicine seller was leaving, he realized that he was raising money for the train ticket.

He wants to leave here and go to another place.

He would probably still use this method to make money at that time. If he didn't want to be discovered, he would choose a place far away from Qingshui Town, a place where no one had heard of his name.

But that would cost him more money for the journey.

No wonder they sold so quickly and in large quantities this time.

At this time, one of the men said uncertainly, "Second Master, I just heard from the man in this family that he saw the medicine seller walking towards a mountain over here last year. Should we go and take a look?"

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction to Xiao Musheng.

The boy stood on tiptoe to take a look, then turned to look at the three of them and said happily, "I know, that's Shuang'er Mountain. There used to be a temple on the mountain. I went there when I was a child."

Hearing that there was a temple in the mountains, Xiao Musheng paused for a moment, then patted his shoulder and said, "Can you take us to the temple you mentioned?"

"Of course!"

The four returned to the village entrance and drove up the mountain.

According to the boy, there was no road on this mountain before. When he climbed the mountain with his friends in the village a few years ago, they were still running around in the woods.

Now there is a cement road leading to the top of the mountain, which saves a lot of trouble.

They got off the car and walked a short distance before finding the temple that Onion mentioned.

A few people went in to take a look and found that there were indeed signs of people living there, but it was obvious that no one had left.

The two men searched the room to see if there was anything useful.

Xiao Musheng squatted in front of a square piece of hoeed land behind the house and pinched the soil outside with his fingers.

It's still wet, having just been turned out.

It should be within five hours that the things originally planted here were pulled away. There are traces on the ground, and the wet soil that was turned over has not dried yet.

If only we had come a day earlier, we could have stopped them here.

He rubbed the soil with his fingers and was about to stand up when he suddenly smelled a strange smell.

It must be the smell of herbs lingering here.

Xiao Musheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly placed his hand that had just touched the soil under his nose.

It was a herbal medicine patch that he couldn't name, but it seemed familiar.

He had a hunch that this clue would be particularly important.

But when he tried hard to think about it, it was as if he had lost all memory and he couldn't remember it at all.

Just then, someone called him from behind, "Brother."

It was Onion. He also wandered around the temple, and after walking around for a while, he ran to find Xiao Musheng.

Maybe I felt that he was more familiar, so I wanted to stay with him.

Seeing his figure running towards him, Xiao Musheng's broken memories suddenly connected.

A scene played repeatedly in his mind.

It was the scene when he was in town and a group of kids from the milk tea shop across the street ran over to take pictures of his car.

Xiao Musheng still remembers that they bumped into a man who was carrying luggage and walking in a hurry.

Now he found it.

The character's characteristics, time and place all match, so that man is most likely the one the elder sister asked him to find.

After figuring it out, Xiao Musheng's mood was filled with regret.

If he had been more perceptive at that time, he would probably be on his way back to Beijing now.

Besides, there is something even more terrifying.

If the elder sister knew that he passed by that man but did not recognize him and let him go, she would probably be so angry that she would find a Didi to beat him up.

When he thought of this, he became anxious instantly. He took out his cell phone to call the people who stayed in the county and asked them to stop the bus from Qingshui Town to the county this afternoon.

But perhaps what I feared came true, the moment I touched my phone, it happened to ring.

Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Musheng felt more nervous than ever.

He didn't dare to hang up and picked up the call.

Then came a series of forced calm nonsense.

"Hey, big sister, I'm looking for it now."

"It will be soon. I already know his address."

"Two days? Hmm... maybe... maybe..."

"The signal is bad suddenly. I went into the mountains, sister. There is no signal here. I will call you back when I get out."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the busy tone, but he didn't dare to rest and quickly asked someone to stop a car at the station.

Thinking of the 'two days' that would cost him his life, Xiao Musheng didn't dare to delay any longer. He stood up, walked around the temple and entered through the back door.

Coincidentally, two subordinates who were searching for clues in the room were looking for him, and the three of them ran into him.

The man was holding a piece of paper that was torn from the packaging of noodles. The brand information was printed on the outside, and the inside was blank.

"Second Master, I found a piece of paper on the table. There are words on it. It looks like it's written to us."

Xiao Musheng took it, turned it over and looked up.

The line of calligraphy was written in a flamboyant style with a black ballpoint pen. The strokes were so powerful that they could be seen through the back of the paper, and the pen flowed like a dragon.

Born in the Xiao family, Xiao Musheng has been accustomed to all kinds of good things since he was a child, but he was still shocked when he saw this handwriting.

This person's writing skills are extremely profound, as if they have a force of a thousand pounds. He must be a master-level figure.

I saw a line of words written smoothly on the paper.

——Don’t chase, don’t disturb, we will meet if we are destined to.
