Chapter 72 Qingquan Town at night (6)
"Well, you go to Mr. Durav's house early tomorrow morning and tell him about this matter."
By now, Bai Qiyun also understood that the so-called abnormal movement of the spring water had nothing to do with the person in front of him.
"Okay, okay, I'll be there early tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun waved his hand to the businessman who nodded and bowed, indicating that he could leave.
As if he had received an amnesty, Hopkins quickly grabbed his pocket and disappeared into the night in three steps and two steps at a time. He could still get more water from the spring, but now he just wanted to stay away from these two evil stars.
At worst, I'll wait for them to leave and then pick them up later.
Watching the businessman's back disappear from sight, Bai Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he couldn't figure out the reason for the strange movement of the spring water tonight.
When he turned around, he found that Ying Zheng behind him had a stinky face, standing there with patches of white and red on his body, saying nothing.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Qiyun, who felt a little strange, asked subconsciously.
But as soon as he said those words, the blond girl's originally unkind face became gloomier at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"nothing."
Ying took long strides and passed by Bai Qiyun. Her speed was so fast that the wind blew up around the young man, causing his face to hurt.
Looking at Ying gradually disappearing, Bai Qiyun was a little confused.
"What's going on here?"
Perhaps, only the evening breeze and spring water can answer his question.
————————
"You are back!"
After finishing his meal, Paimon looked at the two people who came back one after another, and flew up from the sofa with some joy.
"How's it going? Have you figured out the reason?"
Before Ying's butt was warmed up, Paimon, like a cat that smelled something fishy, approached her and asked questions.
On the other side, Bai Qiyun was still taking off his coat. As soon as he entered the room, a rush of heat hit his face, almost suffocating him, and he could only quickly take off all his 'equipment'.
"Don't mention it."
Bai Qiyun hung his clothes on the wall behind him, then turned around and started chatting with Paimon.
"I didn't understand the reason, but I caught a thief."
In a sense, Hopkins who stole the spring water was indeed a thief. However, because it was too late, Bai Qiyun was too lazy to pursue the case. Moreover, he, an outsider, did not seem qualified to pursue the case.
"Thief?"
But Paimeng, who knew nothing about these things, could not understand Bai Qiyun's words, so he could only look aside with a puzzled look on his face.
After Ying, who was bitten by bugs in countless places, calmed down her breathing for a while, she went into the bathroom, leaving Paimon and Bai Qiyun chatting outside.
"Well, speaking of which, this matter is related to the businessman named 'Granny' you saw before."
"Granny, what happened to that businessman?"
Regarding this name, Paimon could only remember that a few of them had mentioned it before, but she couldn't remember much more about it.
The boy was sitting on the sofa, resting his chin on his hand.
"There is no evidence yet to prove that there is something wrong with that person, but there are too many doubts about him, such as——"
"Uh-oh——!"
Before Bai Qiyun could finish speaking, a very penetrating voice from the distance interrupted him.
The sound was like the howling of a wolf, sometimes pitiful and sometimes terrifying, making people involuntarily get goosebumps after listening to it.
A chill climbed up the back, and the malice that seemed to come from ancient times made everyone who heard it feel heavy.
"That direction is!"
Even though he had never heard of the so-called spring water movement before, Bai Qiyun subconsciously judged that this was absolutely correct.
Before he had time to call out Ying in the bathroom, Bai Qiyun picked up his backpack, opened the door and rushed towards the spring.
"Hey! The cook!"
Paimon, who was left in the same place, was neither chasing nor staying. She flew toward the bathroom in a panic, trying to call out the girl who was taking a bath.
Stepping out of the door, a gust of summer evening breeze blew on the young man's face, refreshing and pleasant. However, he did not have time to indulge in such a comfortable feeling. He moved his feet and ran towards the lake where he had just left.
.
Along the way, the lights of every house within sight were turned on. It seemed that everyone in Qingquan Town must have heard the howl that resounded through the valley just now.
"Little brother!"
A middle-aged man's voice came from not far behind Bai Qiyun, causing him to look back.
In the middle of the night, just after talking to his daughter about recent events, Durav heard the same howling sound as before.
There is no doubt that it is spring water!
He quickly opened the door and rushed out, but he didn't expect someone to be faster than him.
After seeing the person coming, Bai Qiyun deliberately slowed down and waited for the other person to catch up.
But even so, the two of them were still very fast, and they arrived near the spring in a short time.
Standing on the hillside, Bai Qiyun looked from a distance.
They saw that the fence that had been well enclosed before they left was shattered to pieces. There was a man lying on the ground not far away, motionless and looking like he had fainted.
"It's him?"
The unconscious man lying on the ground seemed to be the middle-aged businessman he and Ying met before.
But hadn’t the other party already left? Could it be that he waited for the two of them to leave and then came back?
"Hopkins?"
Compared to Bai Qiyun, who had just arrived next to him, Duraf immediately recognized the person on the ground.
Hopkins is a businessman who often travels between Qingquan Town and Mondstadt. Duraf naturally recognizes him, but why is he unconscious here?
But now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing is to first check if someone is okay.
After scanning the surroundings with his elemental vision, Bai Qiyun stepped forward as quickly as Dulav.
The further he walked, the more humid the ground became. Bai Qiyun remembered that the ground was not like this when he left just now. In other words, what happened just now changed the surrounding ground.
The soles of the shoes were on the ground that was a little sticky due to moisture. In front of Bai Qiyun were empty bottles scattered on the ground. They were the same ones that Hopkins had used to fill water before. It seemed that they were filled with water on the other side.
What accident happened at that time.
His fingers touched the lower end of the businessman's nostrils, and the hot air hit his skin. Bai Qiyun felt slightly relieved.
"It looks like the person is still alive."
After confirming the status of the businessman in front of him, Bai Qiyun turned around and informed Duraf behind him.
Although the businessman in front of him didn't have any external injuries, he still didn't dare to move him at will. If there was any problem, it would be terrible.
It would be most appropriate to wait for the girl to come over after a while and then let her move slightly using the power of the wind element.
While Bai Qiyun and Duraf were inspecting the venue, the rest of the people who heard the strange movement also rushed over. If you like Genshin Impact, Spear Still, please collect it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, Spear Still Search Novel Network for updates
