Tomb raiding: Scientists dissect the Queen Mother of the West

Chapter 53 Three people suspected to be Japanese

As the sun sets, the evening glow on the horizon is dyed a deep orange-red.

Qi Mo and his three companions decided to find a place to rest first, and then ask someone to inquire about the mine the next day.

Sitting on the back of the donkey, Master Qi looked at Qi Mo's back, hesitant to speak.

Just now, Qi Mo's methods of gathering information were truly... terrifying.

The woman and child are probably still shaken.

He wanted to remind Qi Mo that next time he could use a gentler approach to gather information.

There's no need to be so rough.

After all, a timid person might be scared to death.

However, recalling the image of his face being licked by the mutated pheasant's neck until it was covered in saliva, he abandoned the idea of ​​giving a warning.

My cousin has a bit of a temper, so it's best not to mess with him.

When Qi Mo looked up at the sky, he noticed wisps of smoke rising from the chimney of a house.

Clearly, people live there and are cooking.

"Cousin, there are some people over there. Let's stay at their house for the night."

He pointed in one direction:

"It's getting dark, and we don't know much about the town, so we might as well ask that family."

The woman didn't provide much information; she only said that the people of the town had fled.

As for why she fled, she couldn't say a word.

They simply said that this place was not suitable for them to stay any longer.

There must be a big secret here, and he has to find out.

Thinking of this, Qi Mo sighed. This godforsaken place was preventing him from earning any shock points.

Otherwise, catching a few local thugs and intimidating them could earn you tens of thousands more shock points.

I've taken a look at this era and I think you'd be well-suited to go to India.

The people there believe in the existence of gods. If you perform a few miracles, you're guaranteed to fool them.

Qi Mo frowned. India, that dirty and chaotic country.

He was afraid that if he went, he would get sick the next day.

Can this system please refrain from making random suggestions?

He responded in his mind:

"No, I don't want to be the third brother. There are too many crazy people there."

In his past life, he had seen a message online that said Indian men were even more ruthless than pigs. .

This is outrageous! They don't even spare animals!

He was afraid that once he passed away, he would be tempted to buy an atomic bomb and send them flying to the heavens.

Just as the two were secretly exchanging ideas, Master Qi followed Qi Mo's finger and saw the rising smoke from chimneys in the distance. He said:

"It looks like they're cooking over there. If we go over now, we can get a free meal."

"I've been traveling all day, I'm starving."

After saying that, he patted the donkey's rump and headed towards the house where the cooking was taking place.

Seeing this, Qi Mo and the other two quickly followed.

A few minutes later.

The four appeared at the door of a house, but instead of going in rashly, they observed it from the outside first.

Two lanterns hung at the entrance, already lit, standing out prominently in the desolate town.

The door was wide open, as if the person had no habit of closing it, and intermittent voices could be heard coming from inside.

Qi Baye smelled a faint fragrance, and his stomach immediately began to rumble loudly.

"Cousin, Master, let's go inside."

"It doesn't look dangerous."

"Besides, with your skills, even if this were a 'black shop,' you wouldn't be a match for us."

He knew exactly what kind of skills the Buddha possessed.

When he was captured by the Japanese, Buddha single-handedly rescued him.

At that time, dozens of shameless Japanese attacked the Buddha, but were eventually beaten and forced to flee in a sorry state...

Lieutenant Zhang is also quite skilled; taking on dozens of people is no problem for him.

As for my cousin, he's even more formidable; that venomous snake alone could easily kill dozens of people.

Therefore, even if there are dozens of people inside, they are no match for them.

Qi Mo nodded:

"Let's go. It's already dark, and it won't be easy to find a place with people. Let's make do here for now."

He jumped off the mutated camel's back and walked inside.

Upon seeing Qi Mo barge in, the three men who were cooking wild vegetable porridge instantly stood up on alert.

Master Qi walked in, saw this scene, and said with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, we're not bad people."

"Three friends, we would like to ask for lodging here for the night and a bite to eat."

"Don't worry, we won't eat your food for free; we'll pay for it."

His gaze fell upon the pot of wild vegetable porridge.

I couldn't help but swallow.

The three men exchanged glances, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and began to think about it.

At this moment, Master Zhang and his adjutant slowly walked in and quickly scanned the surroundings.

Apart from the three people in front of us, there is no one else here, so it is safe for the time being.

The older man looked at Qi Mo and the other three and said:

"We don't have much food, so we can't share it with you."

"You may leave."

Master Qi stepped forward, grinning and trying to ingratiate himself with the man:

"No, we've been starving all day, please share some of your food with us."

"Consider this money for meals."

He took out a small roll of brand-new banknotes and handed it to the man.

The man glanced at the banknotes, but didn't take them. Instead, he calmly said:

"With society in such chaos these days, who knows if these banknotes will still be valid tomorrow?"

"Take it back."

Qi Baye could only put the banknotes back into his pocket.

Master Zhang took out a few silver dollars from his pocket and handed them to the man:

"We're just staying for one night and eating some of your food; we won't do anything to you."

"This will cover our food and lodging expenses."

The man hesitated, unsure whether to take it. Qi Baye took the silver coin from Zhang Dafoye's hand and stuffed it directly into the man's hand.

"When you're traveling, you're all friends, and you should help each other out."

"Just accept it."

If you don't accept it, my cousin will beat you up and then live here openly.

Master Qi noticed that Qi Mo touched the cuff of his sleeve, clearly indicating that he was about to release snakes again.

Actually, Qi Mo didn't intend to release the snakes; rather, he learned from the system that the identities of the three people in front of him were questionable.

That's why he habitually touched his cuff.

After discussing it, the three men agreed to let Qi Mo and his three companions stay overnight.

However, only a small portion of the wild vegetable porridge in the pot will be divided among the four people.

Several people gathered around the fire, chatting and warming themselves.

Uncle Qi took a chipped porcelain bowl, filled it halfway with wild vegetable porridge, and gulped it down.

A satisfied look appeared on his face.

Are you locals?

"No, we're from out of town. We heard they were hiring miners here, so we came."

Beside him, Lieutenant Zhang also spoke up and asked:

Have you ever seen a train?

"Has any train left the mine recently?"

Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed, and they stopped drinking their porridge, saying they wanted to go back to sleep.

Watching them walk into the house, Qi Mo raised an eyebrow. Could these three be Japanese?
