Beasts always had different intuition than ordinary people. Xiang Xiaohua whispered to Ying Cheng while the barber was holding the tools.
"That man is so creepy."
Ying Cheng was looking around and poked her. "I asked you to cut her hair, not make friends. Why do you care so much?"
"Are you here for that mine?" The barber covered Xiaohua with a pale white cloth. "Oh, people in town call me Lake." He gestured with a pair of scissors.
"Is Mr. Lake a local?" Ying Cheng asked casually. "It seems that there are no outsiders in town."
The barber named Lake glanced at him. His eyes were creepy. "I came here more than ten years ago."
"Why do you want to move here?" Ying Cheng saw that he cut Xiaohua's hair skillfully. "Isn't it easier to make money in a big city?"
Lake took the spray bottle and sprayed water on Xiang Xiaohua's head as he said in a strange tone, "Not everyone is as lucky as you to be able to afford a mine. I'm very poor and owe a lot of money. In order to avoid debt, I stayed in town. "
"Haha! That's really hard on you. "Ying Cheng looked at him with a fake smile." But it's good that it's quiet here. "
"It used to be quiet, but now..." Lake snorted. "Since people died in the mine, it's been chaotic. The police, the TV station, and now you. " He was gloating. "Sir, forgive me for being blunt. You'd better give up that mine and invest in another one!"
Ying Cheng looked indifferent. "Yeah, that's why my family asked me to come and take a look. If it doesn't work, I'll give up."
"You rich people don't care anyway." Lake seemed to hate the rich. His attitude was obviously not good.
Xiang Xiaohua finished trimming her hair quickly and pulled Ying Cheng away. When they were far away, she said seriously, "This man is not good. Let's stay away from him."
"What did you find?" Ying Cheng didn't believe that a foodie would suddenly become alert.
Xiang Xiaohua put her finger on her eyelids and rolled her eyes down. In an instant, only the whites of her eyes were left. She looked like a zombie.
"What are you doing?" Ying Cheng poked her. "Are you trying to scare me?"
"No!" Xiang Xiaohua put her hand down. "Lake's eyes look like that."
Ying Cheng laughed and said, "You're exaggerating. His eyes are just small and have more white."
"My father said that people who are haunted by ghosts have more sclera in their eyes."
Aren't you a race that relies on strength to win? "When did it have anything to do with feudal superstitions …" Ying Cheng muttered in his heart.
"Anyway, this kind of person is not good." Xiang Xiaohua grabbed his sleeve. "Let's go. Don't come back again!"
When they passed by a restaurant, they were stopped by a sexy and beautiful woman.
"Yo! Is this your little girlfriend? "Sally leaned against the doorpost, revealing two smooth and round thighs, and winked at Ying Cheng.
Xiang Xiaohua tilted his head and asked, "Do you know him?"
"The owner of the tavern." Ying Cheng looked at Sally, and a dark light flashed across his eyes. "When I was investigating the mine, I accidentally found that there was a big fire here more than ten years ago. I heard that your husband was also killed that night?"
Sally's expression changed, but her emotions changed so quickly that no one could detect it.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have become a widow and run the tavern alone." She sighed. "Which woman doesn't want a man to take care of her? Look at this lady beside you. I can see that you took good care of her!"
Xiang Xiaohua reached out her hand sympathetically. "Do you want a lollipop?"
Sally's mouth twitched. She looked at the lollipop and didn't know whether to take it or not.
"Eat it yourself. Old people can't eat so much candy!" Ying Cheng helped her out, but it was better if he didn't say anything …
Sally's good mood was gone. She didn't even bother to wink at him. She found a random reason and turned to enter the tavern.
"Let's go! What are you looking at? "Ying Cheng knocked Xiang Xiaohua's head.
Xiang Xiaohua hurried to follow him. "Where are we going?"
"To the mine."
This time, there were only two people. Ying Cheng saw that she was eating all the way and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that I can't remember the way and we can't get out?" “
"Do you remember it?"
"Of course. Who am I?"
"Then I'll continue eating!"
Ying Cheng: … I want to strangle her again.
According to the order of the previous time, the two of them walked again. At the end of the fifth path, Xiang Xiaohua suddenly squatted down.
"What's wrong?" Ying Cheng also squatted down and looked at her.
"There's a green bean." Xiang Xiaohua pointed at the ground.
At first glance, Ying Cheng couldn't tell what it was. The ground was covered in gravel. "Where is it?"
"There!" Xiang Xiaohua picked up a green bean with two fingers.
"Is this a green bean?" Ying Cheng couldn't tell because there was no outer layer of skin.
Xiang Xiaohua nodded. "Of course. My father loves it the most. It goes well with alcohol!"
"Give it to me." Ying Cheng carefully put the green bean away.
When they returned to the town, it was already dark. Xiang Xiaohua complained that she was hungry. Ying Cheng took her to the tavern.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Sally asked as she held a plate with a few bottles of beer on it.
"There's meat soup and pie." Ying Cheng wasn't sure if it was because she was still angry about what happened during the day. She didn't wink at Ying Cheng like before. However, her attitude was still normal.
"Do you want some?" Sally asked with a smile. "If you want some beer, there's also a side dish!"
Ying Cheng slapped the table. "Okay! Meat soup and pie, and two bottles of beer. "
Soon, the food was served. The side dish was a plate of green beans and a plate of green vegetables.
"Try it!" Ying Cheng scooped a spoonful of green beans for Xiang Xiaohua.
Xiang Xiaohua ate it.
"How is it?"
"I want more!
Ying Cheng: "…"
"I'm asking you if it tastes the same as the green bean I picked up in the mine this afternoon."
On the way back, Xiang Xiaohua said that green beans had a very fragrant braised taste. The green beans in the tavern were also braised …
"Pretty much!" She smacked her lips and scooped a spoonful for herself. After she ate it, she said with certainty, "They taste the same!"
After eating and drinking, Xiang Xiaohua went back to her room to take a shower. Ying Cheng called Wan Qingsi and sent him the photos of the bearded man, Sally, and Lake.
"Brother Xunxun, help me investigate these three people."
After dawn, Xunxun sent him the information on the three people.
"It's true …" Ying Cheng said. After he read the information carefully, he remained silent for a long time.
# # # The next afternoon, he took Xiang Xiaohua to the mine again. This time, they brought tools with them.
"What are we going to do?"
"Dig for treasure."
# # # The third day. # # The fourth day. Every afternoon, they went to the mine to dig. They only dug where they found the green beans. # # # On the evening of the fifth day, Ying Cheng took her to the tavern again.
"Where have you guys been?" Sally asked curiously. "Aren't you guys investigating the mine? Why are you so tired? "
Ying Cheng patted the dirt off his body. "We found some clues. We're digging in the mine!"
"Oh my god!" Sally covered her mouth. "Just the two of you?"
"There's no other way. We can't talk to the government. We can't dig on a large scale." Ying Cheng took a sip of beer. "However, we're already negotiating. It should be within the next two days. Then, we can remove the seal."
"I'm starving. Do you have barbecue?"
Sally didn't respond. She didn't know what to think.
"Boss?" Ying Cheng called out to her again.
"Huh? Oh! You want beer? I'll be right there. "
Ying Cheng laughed. "You heard wrong. I want barbecue. What's wrong with you? You don't look too good. "
"Do I?" Sally touched her face. "Maybe it's because the weather has been too hot. I'm suffering from heatstroke. I'll go get you some barbecue."
When Ying Cheng saw her running away in a hurry, the corners of his mouth raised …
# # # The next afternoon, the two of them went to the mine again. Ying Cheng reminded Xiaohua, "Be careful. Maybe we'll find treasure today!"
"Is there really treasure?" Xiang Xiaohua asked. She was quite excited. After a few shovels, she actually found something.
Ying Cheng told her to dig slowly. However, the more she dug, the more she felt.
Suddenly, there was a click. Something was stuck in the shovel.
"Give it to me!" Ying Cheng took the shovel and slowly pulled it out. He saw a white bone hanging from the shovel.
Xiang Xiaohua blinked. "What is this?"
"Take a guess!" Ying Cheng threw the bone to the side and continued to dig.
Soon, when the surroundings were cleared, the scene below made one shudder. Even Xiang Xiaohua was a little scared.
"This …" She looked at Ying Cheng.
Ying Cheng nodded. "That's right. They're all humans."
"Why were they buried here?" Xiaohua asked as she approached him.
"Because they were murdered." Ying Cheng looked at the direction where he came from and said word by word, "Am I right?"
Several figures flashed across the stone wall. Three people slowly walked out.
"You're right. Mr. Ying, it's a pity that you're going to be with them soon!" The bearded man looked at Xiang Xiaohua with pity. "I've never slept with an Asian doll."
Xiang Xiaohua knew what he meant. Xin Rong had taught her that if a man talked to her like that, he was flirting with her and insulting her. She didn't need to be polite with him.
Therefore, before Lake and Sally could say their opening remarks, they saw Xiang Xiaohua break off a stone from the wall and smash it on the bearded man's head, splitting it open on the spot …
"F * ck!" Lake took out his gun and was about to shoot when a shout came from behind him. "Don't move, police!"
A day later, Ying Cheng and Xiang Xiaohua were on the plane back.
"What are you looking at?" Ying Cheng hung up the phone and saw Xiang Xiaohua looking at him with sparkling eyes. The stars in her eyes were about to fly out.
"You're amazing!" Xiang Xiaohua pressed him on the sofa. "Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"
Ying Cheng squinted his eyes and enjoyed the massage. He said proudly, "Do you want to know what happened?"
"Yes! Yes! "
Ying Cheng was about to say something when the stewardess came in with lunch. Xiang Xiaohua cheered and threw him to the food.
"Are — you — still — listening?" Ying Cheng asked through gritted teeth.
Xiang Xiaohua looked up with her mouth full. "Um … I'll listen after I'm full!"
