“Well, it’s indeed more convenient this way. We’ll just bring some water with us. Then, we don’t need to bring anything else.”

After saying that, he returned to the hotel. Then, he packed up and the two of them left the town.

They took the same bus from the town to the village next door. Moreover, this bus took about half an hour.

After waiting for a while, they got into the bus. After about an hour, they arrived at the village.

Then, according to the instructions of the local villagers, they walked from this place to the back of the mountain. Then, they went around the back of the mountain and happened to reach the village at the foot of the mountain. That was the Linshui Village they were looking for.

This mountain road was just as the restaurant owner had described. It was indeed a little bumpy and rugged. Fortunately, the two of them were not frightened by these difficulties. They climbed all the way and reached the foot of the mountain in about an hour and a half.

When they arrived, they were deeply shocked by the scenery here.

It could be said to be filled with birds and flowers. Moreover, it was pletely like a paradise.

Behind the green field of rapeseed flowers, they saw a few dilapidated houses.

After the two of them passed through, they arrived under a very old tree at the entrance of the village.

They looked into the village and saw some houses scattered around. However, it was really as the innkeeper had said. There were no more than 10 people staying in the village.

“Grandpa.”

As soon as they entered the village, they saw an old man with a cigarette in his hand. At this moment, he was sitting under a big tree as if he was enjoying the shade.

He slowly raised his head and looked at them.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, sir, it’s like this. We’re here to look for someone. He used to work as a guard at Yuying Primary School. His surname is Li. His name is Li Sheng.”

“Yes, Old Li.”

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s him.”

“Then you’re late.”

“What? L-late? What do you mean?”

“He left last night.”

“Left? Where did he go?”

When Xu Wenping heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

He had never thought that he would be asked to leave this remote village after traveling through mountains and rivers. If that were the case, then why did they leave in such a hurry?

“I’m not sure. Last night, I happened to be on my way back. Then, 1 bumped into him. He was carrying a very big bag and left in a hurry. 1 even asked him about it at that time. He said that he had something to do and was going to stay in the city for a few days.”

“Are you sure he left alone?”

“Yeah, it’s just one person.”

“That can’t be right. Why did 1 hear that he’s already paralyzed in bed and can’t move at all?”

“Oh, you said that he was paralyzed? That was before. It has been almost a year. He had been training non-stop and can walk freely now.”

“Are you saying that he doesn’t need to lie in bed?”

“Yes, he doesn’t need to lie on the bed. Although his legs aren’t as agile as before, walking is definitely not a problem.”

The two of them looked at each other. They had never thought that what the principal had mentioned was actually not the truth here.

Was it Old Li who deceived Principal Zhou? Or was Principal Zhou deliberately lying to them?

“By the way, sir, where does he live?”

“Oh, just walk in from here. The third courtyard from here is his house.”

“Oh, okay. I got it. Thank you, sir.”

After saying that, the two of them only looked at each other and then hurriedly walked inside.

When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they pushed it a little and realized that it was probably locked. However, the door was relatively simple and Assistant Zhou only needed to smash it with a brick. Soon, the door was opened.

After entering the courtyard, they felt that the courtyard was tidied up neatly.

In the end, they walked into the room. They could tell that someone had lived here before.

Xu Wenping hurriedly walked to the wardrobe and opened it. Moreover, the clothes in the wardrobe were not much less.

But why was he in such a hurry to leave? And what was all this for?

“What’s going on? What’s so urgent?”

“By the way, I haven’t asked you before. Does this Old Li have no children? However, if that’s the case and he left in such a hurry, could it be that someone sent him a message?”

“Inform them? Who can send a message?”

“Don’t forget that we told Principal Zhou before we came here yesterday. If that’s the case, then the only person who can inform him can only be Principal Zhou.”

“Impossible, how could my uncle do such a thing? If you say so, then my uncle must be hiding something from us. Is that what you’re saying?”

“Yes, that’s what I’ve been telling you since 1 got in the car. 1 keep feeling that Principal Zhou is hiding something, but he doesn’t seem to be willing to talk about it.”

“We’ve spent an entire day and night to get here, but we’ve actually e up empty-handed. Haha, now that I think about it, it’s really quite laughable. We’ve actually been played by someone, and the person who played us is actually my biological uncle?”

Even now, Xiao Zhou could not accept this fact.

He originally thought that these things should have nothing to do with him. However, he never expected that things would change quietly now. Moreover, they were gradually getting closer to the truth.

“Director Xu, what should we do now? Do we have to go back to the city and look for my uncle again?”

“I feel that he shouldn’t have gone far.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Look, all his daily necessities are here. And he left in such a hurry. 1 guess there’s only one possibility. I believe that he should be nearby. After all, there’s a mountain behind us. If he finds a place to hide in the mountain, we won’t be able to find him at all.”

“You mean, he didn’t leave?”

“Didn’t that grandpa tell us just now? No matter how good his legs are, he’s different from ordinary people. If he needs to cross mountains and ridges with his legs, I reckon that he won’t be able to cross the mountains at all. We didn’t see anyone along the way. After all, there’s only one path up the mountain or down the mountain..”
