Chapter 215, New Member of the Outpost

When Ren Xiaosu learned that this old man was here to investigate the case of the missing Li’s officers, he was already immediately on guard, but he didn’t show anything on the surface.

Ren Xiaosu sat next to the campfire, and the student next to him handed him a roasted chicken leg.

That old man smiled at Ren Xiaosu as he ate, “Young people nowadays always don’t pay much attention to their intestines and stomachs, when you guys get to my age you’ll understand that being able to eat is a blessing.”

“You’re right,” Ren Xiaosu glanced at the other party, diarrhea for six hours this was definitely out of the ordinary, before, he was still praising Chen Wuxi in his heart for his strong adaptability, but now that he thought about it, he was actually overthinking it ah.

Chen Wuxi said that he had diarrhea for six hours, which meant that the old man had been here for six hours.

However, this old man did not ask him where he had gone, but actually went along with the reason of diarrhea, as if he did not intend to investigate deeply at all.

Ren Xiaosu didn’t believe that a person responsible for investigating a case could ignore such a simple common sense issue, the other party was pretending to be confused.

“You came to investigate the case this time, do you have any clues?” Ren Xiaosu said as if nothing had happened.

“I say I’m here to investigate, but what does the disappearance of Li’s people have to do with me,” the old man said with a smirk, “I’m so old that I’m even made to come out to work in this kind of weather, look at this is something that a human being would do.”

Ren Xiaosu sized up the other party’s appearance, “How old are you this year?”

“Seventy-three this year,” the old man laughed, “I haven’t properly introduced myself, hello everyone, my name is Hu Hu.”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, this name sounded so odd, but what Ren Xiaosu cared more about was that the other party was not surnamed Li.

In this place, anyone with the surname Li deserved Ren Xiaosu’s extra attention, so far, except for Li Qingzheng, the Wolf King of Kunshan, all the Li surnames Ren Xiaosu had encountered were basically middle and high level officers in the consortium’s military.

“Why did you take this case?” Ren Xiaosu curiously said.

“I didn’t want to take it either,” Hu Hu took his pinky and scratched his scalp and laughed, “But Li gave me an order, saying that if I didn’t come to investigate this case, he wouldn’t pay me, so I had to come over here to deal with the errands. But I didn’t expect that I would be able to eat so much wild game when I arrived at your outpost, I’ve earned it.”

Ren Xiaosu felt that this matter was not as simple as the other party said, I’m afraid, a seventy-three year old man running here, could be any ordinary person?

And to invite the other party out when something went wrong on Li’s side, there must be a reason.

However, right at this moment, Hu Hu stood up and patted the dust on his pants, “Alright, eat and drink.”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “How many outposts did you walk today?”

Hu Hu smiled, “Just the one you have.”

At this moment Ren Xiaosu felt that the other party was afraid that they had already discovered some clues, and that was why they had come directly to their place. For a moment, Ren Xiaosu was beginning to hesitate whether or not to leave the other party behind.

Nonsense, however, suddenly said, “That …… which room am I staying in?”

This now put everyone to ask, Ren Xiaosu also thought to leave the other party, but did not expect the other party actually intends to directly live here.

Li Qingzheng was smiling next to him and said, “We’ll clean out a room for you.”

There were seven bungalows in the post, and originally there was still an empty one as a miscellaneous storage room, but it didn’t hold many things, and now since Nonsense said that he wanted to stay overnight, then Li Qingzheng, as the squad leader of the combat squad, was willing to hook up with this kind of old man who was suspected to be a big shot.

Most of the stragglers had an instinct, everyone felt that pulling strings with the big shots in the barriers would make life a little better, they were superstitious about such relationships.

However, this made Ren Xiaosu a little difficult, he decided to wait and see for a while, until he was sure what this old man’s purpose really was before deciding what to do was not too late.

Ren Xiaosu felt that this nonsense has clearly found the clues, but he could not understand why the other party has the courage to stay here?

However let Ren Xiaosu more surprised things happened, this nonsense is not to stay here overnight, but …… not go!

The next morning, the wolf king as promised sent a large pile of chickens, these chickens piled up in front of the post.

But this strange scene did not cause the pursuit of nonsense, the other party as if nothing had happened, just marveled that this is really a good place to eat meat ah.

Ren Xiaosu observed each other’s expression, obviously we all know that this is not normal, but the nonsense but did not even ask questions, Woods in front of the post played taijiquan, let Li Qingzheng let them cook after playing, said they still want to eat meat.

So make everyone from the morning began to grill meat to eat, Ren Xiaosu all feel like they are covered with the smell of grilled meat.

“Aren’t you going to ask where this prey came from?” Ren Xiaosu asked as she ate the meat.

Nonsense said with a smile, “If we have food, then we don’t care where this food comes from. It won’t be the wolves that carry it.”

Ren Xiaosu momentarily speechless, he is more and more confused about this nonsense intentions.

The third morning, nonsense or as usual woke up to play taijiquan, after playing to greet everyone to cook.

Just a little different is, this day under the mountain and came a truck, but this time to the soldiers are a little special, they are actually with bedding and teapots and other daily necessities, and to the Hu Hu re-packed the house …….

Ren Xiaosu was shocked to realize that this Hu Hu is planning to stay here for a long time.

When the soldiers cleaned up the house, Ren Xiaosu carefully observed whether Hu Hu had explained some strange things to the soldiers, such as implying that the other side to bring heavy troops over to encircle this post ah what, the result is not.

But when the soldier reported to Hu Hu, Hu Hu didn’t avoid Ren Xiaosu, and the soldier’s report was related to Ren Xiaosu: the outpost on another hill was attacked by wolves, and wolf blood and hair were found there, and the army has attached great importance to this matter, and intends to send troops to clean up the wolves in the mountain.

Ren Xiaosu observed Hu Hu’s reaction, but Hu Hu just laughed and said, “The wolves have nothing to do with our case, so don’t get involved in this kind of idle business.”

From the beginning to the end, the other party didn’t seem to associate anything with the mountain chickens in front of the post.

But Ren Xiaosu knew very well that the other party was just pretending to be confused.

Right at this moment, Li Qing was muttering to Ren Xiaosu in a low voice, “The officer who gave this old man something, his rank is a major!”

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, what kind of rank would a person who could call on a colonel of this level have to be within the Li Clan?

After that, no one came to the outpost again, and nonsense this stay is a week, Ren Xiaosu suddenly think, the other party may be planning to spend the Spring Festival together in their place ……
