After saying goodbye to the people here, the two men immediately headed south.
But who knew that after they had just taken a few steps, they heard someone behind them seeming to be calling them.
One of the old men limped towards them with a tattered cane and spoke in a serious tone.
"I advise you not to go that way. That's Bai Qiao Village."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui's expressions became a little more serious and they asked.
"Why? Are the people over there very fierce?"
The old man just shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"More than being fierce, they particularly dislike outsiders. If you are discovered by them, they will most likely kill you, and they have extremely violent tempers."
The old man did look kind and seemed to be very worried about them, otherwise he would not have told them all this.
Zhang Qihai then raised his hand, patted him on the shoulder gently, and spoke with gratitude.
"Thank you for telling me all this, but we have to go now because where our business is we can't give him up anyway."
Qi Tiezui on the side also nodded solemnly.
"Yes, his health is not good to begin with. If anything happens to him, we will definitely be sad for the rest of our lives."
Since people had already said this, the old man couldn't stop them any further and could only nod slightly.
"Then you must be careful on your way. Don't cause any trouble and try not to attract too much attention."
They were also very grateful to the old man for providing them with all this information, and then nodded and said.
"Thank you for telling us all this."
The old man raised his hand nonchalantly and waved it gently.
"Nothing, just telling me something I know."
It wasn't a big deal to him.
Only after they said goodbye to the old man did they continue walking towards the south.
It was not until they walked some distance away that Qi Tiezui began to speak.
"I have indeed heard before that most of the people in Baiqiao Village are not easy to mess with, and they have very cruel tempers."
When he said this, he felt a little worried.
If they were really targeted by those people, they might not be able to protect themselves, let alone find Zhang Dafoye.
How could Zhang Qihai not know how dangerous this matter was?
But no matter what, he would never give up easily.
So at this moment his eyes became more determined again, and he spoke.
"It's okay. As long as we work hard, we will be able to solve this problem."
Seeing him like this, Qi Tiezui knew that he could not continue to be discouraged.
He nodded solemnly.
"Okay! Anyway, I have nothing to worry about as long as you're here."
The two people cheered each other on and then hurried forward.
Not long after, they gradually saw some low houses not far away.
If they guessed correctly, they should be almost there.
Chapter 396: Inquiring for Information
The two men exchanged glances, then slowly quickened their pace and walked inside.
But when they arrived at the gate, they found that almost everyone inside was wearing the same clothes.
Those people seemed to be wearing white robes, and there seemed to be some special patterns on the robes.
And this is a person's face, and it seems that there are some patterns on it.
After seeing this scene, they were able to confirm that this place should be Baiqiao Village.
The two men walked in slowly and found that when the residents nearby saw them, there seemed to be a hint of disgust in their eyes.
How could they not see the deep contempt in his eyes?
Then the two of them found a relatively remote place.
Qi Tiezui frowned slightly and spoke.
"Did you see just now? They looked at us with malicious intent."
Zhang Qihai just raised his hand and waved it gently.
"They are probably just more xenophobic."
I think if these people really wanted to do something to them, they would have done it long ago, and would not have waited until now.
Maybe it's just because he sees them as outsiders and beggars, so he looks at them with disdain.
When he just thought of this, Qi Tiezui slowly lowered his head and looked at the tattered clothes he was wearing.
He pointed at his clothes with some surprise and asked.
"Could it be that people look down on us because we are wearing shabby clothes?"
I have to say that there is indeed such a possibility.
Zhang Qihai nodded involuntarily, and then he made the suggestion.
"Let's change into clean clothes then."
Qi Tiezui naturally wouldn't have any objections, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
"it is good."
Then the two men took off their tattered beggar's clothes and put on clean clothes.
Having finally arrived here, they naturally had to seize this opportunity to ask if anyone had seen Zhang Qishan.
So they came to a taller tower and looked down.
Almost all the houses here are low-rise bungalows.
And the people around don't seem to be very kind.
They all looked ferocious.
Logically speaking, a place like this should have simple folk customs, so how come it has become like this now?
Naturally, they were a little confused about this and had no idea what was going on.
"Wait here for me. I'll go ask around to see if there's anything that can provide us with clues."
Qi Tiezui spoke with a serious expression.
Now that they have finally gotten in, they must seize this opportunity.
Zhang Qihai then immediately stepped forward and spoke.
"I'll go with you."
But who would have thought that Qi Tiezui would just shake his head gently.
"You should stay here. You can see some of the situations below from up here. If something happens to me, you can rescue me in time."
Hearing this, Zhang Qihai felt that it made a lot of sense.
After all, no matter what, they are now in a very unfamiliar environment. If someone makes them angry, it will naturally be very bad for them.
If the two of them go out together later, and nothing really happens, anyone can come out to rescue them again.
But if one person goes down to look for clues and the other one observes carefully from above, if something unexpected really happens, they can still think of a solution.
At least not all of them were arrested.
Qi Tiezui took a step closer to Zhang Qihai, raised his hand, patted his shoulder gently, and spoke.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Zhang Qihai then nodded gently and said.
"must be careful."
How could Qi Tiezui not understand what he should do, so he immediately nodded, turned around and left.
Of course, he would not put himself in a dangerous situation. After all, they came here to find Zhang Dafoye. If something happened to him, how could he rescue Zhang Dafoye?
Qi Tiezui came to the front of these small shops.
After he casually bought some things, he spoke tentatively.
"Well, I want to ask you something."
When the boss heard this, a hint of vigilance instantly appeared in his eyes. He looked him up and down carefully. Before Qi Tiezui could speak again, he immediately gave a look to his subordinate next to him.
The subordinate seemed to understand something in an instant. He took a step forward and blasted Qi Tiezui out.
Qi Tiezui had never expected their reaction to be so fast.
"Hey, I just want to ask some questions..."
But the shop owner simply closed the door, as if he didn't want to do business with him at all.
Zhang Qihai, who was on top of the tower, naturally saw this scene. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the people inside would be so xenophobic.
Even if Qi Tiezui encountered such a setback, he would never give up, so he sighed softly, mustered up his courage and went to another house.
But who would have thought that when he just walked to the door of the house and spoke.
"I want to ask a question..."
Before he could finish his words, the shop owner immediately stepped forward, came up to him and kicked him out.
"Go away, we don't want you here!"
Hearing this, Qi Tiezui was naturally very helpless.
