Moreover, she was planning to go and investigate the situation first. If there was really something wrong with the village, then it wouldn't be too late to let the armed forces and the people from the police station go together.
"Fenghua, if we are only going to explore, or rather, to investigate the situation of the other party, I think it's better to go at night. "
"That's right, sister-in-law. If we go during the day, we will be easily discovered. "
"If we go at night, we won't know the way. "
"What's the big deal? We can just find someone to lead the way. "
"find who? "
"Lao Cai. "
Sheng Fenghua thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Having a guide would indeed be better. They had limited equipment on them now, so they couldn't locate the village in the deep mountains.
However, before letting Lao Cai lead the way, Sheng Fenghua decided to ask him first. What if he didn't know the way, then it would be unnecessary.
Sheng Fenghua told him her thoughts. Qin Feng immediately stood up and said, "okay, I'll go ask him. "
Qin Feng went to look for Cai. Just as Sheng Fenghua was about to divide the work, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, Sheng Fenghua pressed the answer button, and a familiar voice came from inside.
"Is it Comrade Sheng? I'm the comrade from the Armed Forces Department who sent you to Stone Town that day. The matter you asked me to investigate has come to light. "
"Oh, is that so? That's great! " Sheng Fenghua was happy when she heard that. She took the phone and walked to the side to answer it.
On the other end of the phone, the comrade from the Armed Forces Department told Sheng Fenghua roughly what he had found out. He didn't investigate all those people, only two or three of them.
However, that was enough for Sheng Fenghua. The comrade from the Armed Forces Department's words once again confirmed Sheng Fenghua's intuition and guess.
There was indeed something wrong with that village. Otherwise, how could the people who had accompanied the county Party secretary to that village have all met with accidents.
Sheng Fenghua thanked the comrade from the Armed Forces Department and hung up the phone. At this moment, Qin Feng returned and saw that Sheng Fenghua's complexion wasn't very good. He couldn't help but ask, "Fenghua, what happened? "
"The people from the county armed forces department called me. "
"What did they say? ''
"He said that the people who accompanied the county Party secretary to the village all had accidents. "
"What, all of them had accidents? "
"That's right. "
"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with that village. "
"Then we have to be more careful. When you go, bring your equipment too, just in case. "
"understood. "
"right, what did Lao Cai say? Does he know the way? " Sheng Fenghua asked.
"Lao Cai said he hasn't been to the village either, but someone in the town has been there. He has gone to look for the other party, so we'll probably have to wait for a while. "
"Okay, you guys go and check the equipment. I'll go and prepare some things too. "
"Okay! " Qin Feng replied, turned around and went into the room. He ordered his brothers to check the equipment.
After Sheng Fenghua returned to the room, she went straight into the space and took out some poison. She put the things into the medicine box and left the room.
Not long after, Lao Cai came back with a man in his forties.
"Comrade Sheng, comrade Qin, this is Lao Tian. He once went to that village to deliver something. If you want to go to that village, he is the most suitable to lead the way. "
"You have been to that village? " Sheng Fenghua looked at Lao Tian with a scrutinizing look. According to what the comrade from the county armed forces said, Lao Tian should have been in trouble.
But now, he was alive and well. Could it be that he was also from that village?

"Yes! " Lao Tian nodded and said, "a few months ago, I went there and sent them some grain. "
"How much did they send? "
"A thousand catties. "
"A thousand catties? "
"Yes. "
"How many months have they sent it? "
"three months. "
"have they come to buy grain again recently? "
"No. " Lao Tian shook his head. After a pause, he said, "they don't often buy grain, and it's rare for them to buy it once a year. ".
"How do you know? "
"because their grain is always bought from me. I'm the one who gave it to them. " Speaking of this, old Tian was a little proud. He had sent grain to that village for three years. Every time their people came out, they would look for him, and the price was high.
Although finding someone to send the grain cost some money, it was still a lot more than what they had given him.
"You've been to their village. Do you know how many people there are in the village? " Sheng Fenghua asked again.
"Not many people, about a hundred and eighty. " Old Tian thought for a moment and replied. He had been to the village a few times, but there weren't many people in the village.
"A hundred and eighty? " Sheng Fenghua frowned slightly. There were so few people in that village, how could they be self-sufficient?
"Who are the people in the village? Are there old people and children? "
"I don't think I saw that. I only saw young people. " Old Tian shook his head. When he went there, he only saw young people, but he didn't see the old people and children.
Hearing this, Sheng Fenghua and Qin Feng looked at each other and then said to old Tian, "Lao Cai asked you to come here. He should have told you to lead the way for you. "
"He did! " Old Tian nodded. At first, he didn't want to go. But Lao Cai promised him some benefits, so he agreed.
"Well, take us there now. We will pay you after the job is done. "
"No need, no need. Lao Cai has already paid. "
Hearing this, Sheng Fenghua and Qin Feng turned to look at Lao Cai. He had already paid. Lao Cai waved his hand and said, "it's nothing. You don't have to take it to heart. "
"thank you! " Sheng Fenghua thanked Lao Cai and said to Lao Tian, "LET'S GO! "
"Okay! " Lao Tian nodded and led Sheng Fenghua and the others out of the town and into the mountains.
It was a little dark. The group brought their flashlights and walked into the mountains.
After walking for about an hour and a half, the group finally reached the foot of the mountain. It was the same road Sheng Fenghua used to pick cough-stopping grass to go down the mountain during the day.
After resting at the foot of the mountain for a while, the group climbed up the mountain. Old Tian walked in front, his pace a little slow. Sheng Fenghua, Qin Feng, and the others did not rush him. They slowly followed behind him and climbed up the mountain.
However, after climbing up the mountain, Qin Feng secretly made a few hand signals to his brothers, telling them to be careful and go around to the front of old Tian to scout the path.
Therefore, a few of the team members left the group, went around the mountain path, passed through the forest, and climbed up the mountain. Before coming, Sheng Fenghua and Qin Feng roughly told them about the location of the top of the mountain and the direction of the village that old Cai had told them about before. Therefore, after these few pathfinders left the main group, they went straight to their destination.
By the time Sheng Fenghua and her team arrived at the fork in the mountain road, those few pathfinders had already gone in the direction of the village.
"take a rest, " Lao Tian said to Sheng Fenghua while panting. He was very tired after climbing all the way up. He couldn't walk anymore.
Sheng Fenghua glanced at Lao Tian and nodded. Then, she said to her brothers, "take a rest and be alert. "
