Chapter 1733 Bitter Fruit (Twenty-Two)

"So that's how it is."

Although he discovered a little secret of the old lady, Fu Qian did not point it out, nor did he ask her to explain in more detail how her husband went missing.

In a dark and dangerous place, even a place where relatives had disappeared, he was facing an unknown person.

In this situation, anyone with a normal mind would not casually say the life-saving reliance.

In fact, the old lady had said a lot just now.

It should be as inferred before that she was already on the verge of her limit with such an obsession, and she needed to find someone to talk to before she could continue to persevere.

"But I'm sorry, I came all the way from there, and I really didn't see the person you said."

But the next moment Fu Qian still pointed to the empty space behind him.

"...Have you been there?"

It can be seen that Fu Qian's answer made the old lady unable to hide her disappointment, especially after seeing the direction he pointed.

That was even farther away from the town, even more remote than where Ms. Sarah lived.

Dust road, factory, various large tools, messy piles of earth...

Fu Qian certainly didn't come from that direction, but he knew the old lady didn't either.

From what he sensed just now, the other party's search route was still very clear.

Although she was in danger, she was still very smart to stay as close to the residential area as possible, and tried to have houses nearby where she could hide at any time.

But that doesn't mean she can always have this self-control.

From the occasional pauses and gazes, it can be seen that the old lady has been eager to try the area with a higher danger level after searching the area many times and still finding nothing.

Considering that the probability of her really finding her missing husband there is almost zero, Fu Qian doesn't mind telling a white lie and asking her for help.

"Nothing."

The next moment Fu Qian nodded.

"Then I heard a very strange sound nearby, so I came here. Didn't you hear it?"

...

"...What sound?"

For Fu Qian's statement, the old lady was visibly disappointed, and it can be felt that she didn't believe it so much.

But after a moment of silence, she finally did not raise any questions.

When she expressed her confusion about Fu Qian's question, it can be seen that her tone and expression were quite natural.

"Crying, a strange cry of a child."

Fu Qian just sighed softly. Although he had basically guessed it just now, the old lady's reaction at this moment undoubtedly confirmed that she really didn't hear the crying she made.

Although the tree baby who was following was not seen this time, was it still so targeted?

"No..."

While speaking, she looked around unconsciously. From the tone of the old lady, it can be heard that Fu Qian's statement obviously added a bit of fear to the night.

"That may be because I am too tired and have hallucinations. The main thing is that this place is too difficult to find."

Without getting entangled in this point, Fu Qian casually found an excuse and looked at the buildings crawling in the dark.

"Can you help me? I'm looking for someone. If possible, it would be best if you can lead me there."

And the next moment, he did not help, and asked for help in reverse without any hesitation.

Pointing the way outside and giving medicine in the dream, from all these performances, the old lady should still be a kind person.

"Who are you looking for? Most of the people in this place are gone..."

As expected, the old lady hesitated for a while and really did not refuse.

"A young man, tall and strong..."

Fu Qian was naturally pointing to one of the four people who had not spoken in the healing dream, and described more details of his appearance.

Think about the good side of things. There are only a few people left, and it is obviously easier for the old lady to help search for identities.

The reason for choosing this person is that in the first encounter, his outfit is obviously more in line with the style of this area. At that time, he commented that he looked a bit like a miner.

Although the old lady is still strong, it is not so tiring to be closer.

"The person you are talking about... I can take you to see, but I am not sure it must be him."

At this moment, after thinking for a while, the other party nodded.

...

"So have all the people here moved away?"

The old lady was still quick, and once she decided to help, she walked directly to the front.

Although she still had no intention of lighting a lamp, her steps were steady as she walked through the halls and rooms.

It was obvious that she had been familiar with this place for countless times in the dark.

While sighing, Fu Qian, who was following steadily behind, also asked for more information about Akons.

"Well... At first, at dawn one day, more than half of the people were gone, as if they were all rushing on the road at night."

The old lady didn't mind chatting with people, although the description was a bit scary.

"Then every night, the number of people continued to decrease..."

It didn't sound good, so it was not surprising that a nighttime ghost story came out under such circumstances.

Fu Qian listened and commented.

Even though he had not had the chance to meet that "it", from what he had seen and heard so far, Akons was obviously a place like what was said before, it was very unusual.

And the buildings and humanities with a sense of age really made people curious about what form it existed in.

"Can you still hear crying now?"

At this time, the old lady had not forgotten the strange thing Fu Qian had just mentioned, and asked a question out of the blue.

Although the slope was gentle all the way, the height difference between the two people was still obvious, and they were already some distance away from where they were just now.

"Unfortunately, it's still okay."

Fu Qian just shook his head at this concern, indicating that there was no improvement.

Of course, in fact, it was even more than that. While speaking, he deftly reached into his ribs with his fingers, pulled out a bubbling blood clot, and threw it away.

The crying sound was indeed not just to scare himself. As time accumulated, special changes finally appeared.

Similar to the "heart attack" that Sarah had performed before, the abnormal changes in blood flow were erupting in his body without any signs, in a way that was almost like a curse, and continued to gather towards the position of the heart unswervingly.

Although this was not a big problem for Fu Qian for the time being, it would undoubtedly be easy to scare people if the old lady saw it, so he tried to deal with it as concealed as possible.

The old lady did not ask too persistently, and soon continued to bury her head on the road, but——

Tsk!

A moment later, accompanied by a slight sound, the old lady who had been walking in the dark all the way actually lit a lantern without saying a word.

“It should be just ahead——”

And with the not-so-strong light, she turned her head and looked over as she spoke.
