It was already the next morning when the helicopter Chu Luo and the others landed in Qingcheng, which was more than a hundred kilometers away from the northwest desert.

The temperature in Qingcheng at this time is actually a little higher than that in the imperial capital.

Li Yan's subordinates had already prepared a foothold for the two of them. It was an inconspicuous brick house with a big jujube tree outside.

Just after the ripening season of red dates, no one picks the red dates on this tree, and they have been hung as half-dried dried dates.

Chu Luo walked under the jujube tree and looked up at the dates on it, and said to Li Yan, "This jujube is really good."

After speaking, he licked his lips greedily.

Li Yan tilted his head to watch her small movements, a smile flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

There were many bodyguards standing beside her, Chu Luo nodded slightly reservedly.

Li Yan jumped and picked two red dates from the tree.

Chu Luo looked at the dates in his hand with those shining eyes, and was about to reach out to take them.

Li Yan signaled her to wait with his eyes, he wiped one of them with his hand, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Chu Luo stared at his expression, watched him chew and swallow slowly, and asked impatiently, "Is it delicious?"

Li Yan looked at her with those dark eyes, and was about to speak.

Chu Luo was so greedy that he couldn't wait any longer, so he stretched out his head and took another bite from the jujube he took a bite out of.

then……

"Ah, bah, bah, bah... so sour!"

The corner of Li Yan's mouth was half a smile, and he said to a bodyguard standing beside him, "Bring a bottle of water here."

The water was brought over quickly, and Li Yan took it and opened the bottle cap to Chu Luo first.

Chu Luo took several sips of water to get rid of the sour taste in her mouth. She complained bitterly to Li Yan: "Why don't you react when you eat such sour dates?"

Li Yan took the water in her hand and drank a couple of sips, then took her hand and walked inside, saying as he walked, "It's not very sour either."

Chu Luo looked at him with piercing eyes, and it was written in his eyes: I believe you are a ghost.

"No wonder no one has picked that jujube tree at this time. It turned out to be a sour jujube. The owner of this yard must have waited for these dates to dry naturally on the tree before getting them off for other uses."

Speaking of this, Chu Luo suddenly thought of jujube paste sour cake, and swallowed again.

Li Yan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said, "Later, someone will make you some sour cake with date paste."

"Hee hee, okay."

The courtyard on the northwest side is boxy, and the brick houses still have the feeling of the 1970s and 1980s.

Those people brought by Li Yan have been arranged in a nearby house by those who have been waiting here for a long time.

Chu Luo asked Li Yan: "With so many of us living here, will others find out?"

"No." Li Yan said: "When the first batch of people came over, I let them buy the nearby houses."

Chu Luo was relieved.

The two walked in, the decoration inside the room was very simple, and there were few furnishings.

Li Yan asked Chu Luo: "Do you want to take a break?"

"Do not."

After Chu Luo finished speaking, seeing Li Yan asked the bodyguard to fetch his laptop, knowing that he had something to deal with, he said, "I'll go out first."

"Okay, don't go far."

This place has already been bought, and Li Yan is not at all worried that someone who has no eyes will appear in front of her.

"I know, I'll just walk around."

Chu Luo said, turned around and walked out of the yard.

This is a village, and wisps of smoke can still be seen from the chimneys on the roof in the distance.

Chu Luo stood on the side of the road watching for a while, then walked slowly to the side.

The sun was warm in the winter morning, and it was very warm on the body. Chu Luo walked for a while, and saw two children playing with their buttocks in the mud by a ditch without water in the field, so he stopped to look at it for a while.

At this time, a child who shaved all his hair, leaving only the middle strand with a small braid, said in a showy tone: "When my dad comes back after earning money this time, he said he would take me to the I bought a remote control plane as big as mine in the city, I really hope that Dad can come back soon."

Chu Luo deliberately learned the dialect here for seven or eight hours on the way here, and she understood everything the children said.

Another child with a snot hanging from his nose immediately said, "I heard from my father that your father will not come back."

"You're talking nonsense. My dad said he would be back in a few days."

"Really, I just heard from my dad last night that your dad shouldn't have taken that group of people to that desert. The climate in the desert this year is abnormal, and sandstorms often occur. Once people go in, it's easiest to Eaten by the dust beast."

The little boy was in a hurry, so he stretched out his hand and pushed the snotty child.

The snot-nosed child was pushed and fell into the ditch, crying loudly.

The little boy stood on the canal, with his arms akimbo, and said angrily, "I will never play with you again, how dare you speak ill of my father."

After speaking, he ran away crying.

Chu Luo looked at the crying child who fell into the ditch, thought for a while and went over to lift him up and put him on the road.

The snot-nosed child looked up and forgot to cry in an instant.

After a while, he asked, "Are you the fairy sister?"

Chu Luo nodded solemnly: "Yes, I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer me properly."

"Okay." The snot-nosed kid answered loudly.

Chu Luo asked with satisfaction: "Where did the father who left that child go?"

"XX Desert."

"What was he doing there?"

"Someone from the city came to ask someone to take them to the desert, and they gave Lu Lang's father a lot of money."

"Do you know what the person who came to look for Lu Lang's father looks like?"

"Know……"

The child and Chu Luo described what the person who came to find Lu Lang's father looked like. Although the description was a bit abstract, Chu Luo still heard useful information.

"You said that one of the people who came to see Lu Lang's father wore nice clothes?"

Chu Luo took out his mobile phone and showed the child a picture of the clothing of a famous ethnic group: "Is that person wearing this kind of clothing?"

"Yes, that's it."

The child said that these were clothes from southern Xinjiang. The clothes in southern Xinjiang are very colorful and there are many accessories on the clothes.

Chu Luo is almost certain that there are Gu masters among these people.

She put the phone away and asked again: "You just said that your father said that Lu Lang's father would not come back. How did your father know?"

The child was stunned by Chu Luo's question. After all, he was only six or seven years old, and the adults would definitely not talk to him too much. Maybe he knew about it or overheard it.

Chu Luo didn't continue to ask, but asked: "Where is your home?"

"There."

A family behind a few trees to the west of the child should be one or two kilometers away from here.

Chu Luo nodded and asked again: "What's your name?"

"My name is Tie Dan."

"..."

This name is really down-to-earth!

Chu Luo said: "Tie Dan, you go back, don't play outside alone, and... don't tell others that you have seen me."

"why?"

Tie Dan can't wait to let everyone in the village know that he has met the legendary fairy sister.

"Because I'm a fairy, I can't let many people know, or I won't show up again in the future."

Tie Dan was startled, "Then I won't say anything, Sister Fairy, will you show up again in the future?"

"It depends on whether you are obedient or not."

"I'm good."

"Okay, let's go back then."

"Uh-huh."

Tie Dan was fooled by Chu Luo into being obedient and ran towards his house.

Chu Luo looked at the child who ran away, thinking that Li Yan would send someone to inquire about it, maybe they could find useful information.

Chu Luo walked on the field path for a while, then went back.

As soon as she walked into the yard, she smelled the sweet and sour aroma of jujube cake.

Chu Luo walked in quickly, just in time to see a bodyguard put a plate of steaming jujube cake on the table, Li Yan said to him: "Go and call Luo Luo back."

"yes."

As soon as the bodyguard turned around, he saw Chu Luo walking to the door, greeted her and went out.

Chu Luo walked in and took a piece of jujube cake with chopsticks and ate it into his mouth.

The sweet, sour, soft and glutinous feeling instantly conquered her taste buds, and she narrowed her eyes slightly enjoying it.

Li Yan looked up at her from the computer screen.

Chu Luo asked him: "Do you want to eat?"

"Don't eat."

As soon as Chu Luo heard this, he immediately fed half of what he had eaten to his mouth, and looked at him with those sparkling eyes: "It's delicious, try it, just take a bite."

Li Yan looked into her eyes, and finally opened his mouth to eat the half piece.

"How is it, is it delicious?"

Li Yan didn't answer her, but his expression was very silent.

Chu Luo poked his arm with his fingers dissatisfied, "If you don't answer me, I will treat you as delicious."

Li Yan glanced at her, then pointed to the tea on the other side of the table.

Chu Luo brought him tea.

After Li Yan drank it, he said, "It's too tired."

Chu Luo: "..."

Is the co-author too tired to talk?

Chu Luo glanced at him with embarrassing eyes, turned around and sat down to eat by himself.

While eating, I told him what I just heard outside.

Finally, he said: "I suspect that the people from the Qin family who asked people from this village to be guides in the desert are from the Qin family, and that Gu master is also there."

"Well, I'll ask someone to inquire about it."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he called someone in and told him the matter.

After the people went out, Chu Luo put down his chopsticks, held his chin and thought, "This place is at least a hundred kilometers away from the XX desert. Isn't it a bit strange that there are guides in this village?"
