After searching inside and outside the house, but couldn't find any clues, Song Shuhui stood at the door holding her front paws, motionless like a statue.

Chasia waited outside for a while but didn't wait for her to come out, then changed back into a beast shape and broke through the window and rushed in.

"What's wrong with you? What clue did you find?"

Song Shuhui came back to her senses: "Ah, no, it's been too long, the smell and spiritual power left by him are very weak, and it will be broken here. You said that he bought enough nutrients for a month, it should be If he didn’t intend to go out, why did he go out again? Something important happened that made him have to go out? He cared so much about Xin Dong’s news, did he get news from Xin Dong again, so it’s not right to go out? , I must be prepared for a long trip, and I will bring nutrients with me."

Chasia also saw the box of nutritional supplements, which is the kind that supplements nutrition for a day. It is not particularly cheap, but if you buy it, it is still the most cost-effective price.

After the spiritual sea was injured, Toynby's strength must have declined seriously. It is impossible for him to have a job in such a small town. He has no source of income and can only eat deposits.Toynby was able to be admitted to the mecha school, which shows that he must have good talent and strength, but he hadn't worked seriously in those years, and he had been fined for fighting with others, so he couldn't have other income, and He was born in such a place, and his family background is also very ordinary.

It is impossible for such a poor person to go out without taking nutritional supplements.

Chasia said: "Perhaps the lack of these things was taken away by him. He calculated the time needed to go back and forth, which is fifteen days, a place where he can go back and forth in fifteen days."

The two of them did some calculations, it was inconvenient for Xue Lanxing to go out, no matter where he went, he had to go to another planet for transit, although it was inconvenient, but like the two of them this time, the longest time it took to get to the central star was four days , It will not exceed five days, and the places that can reach seven days are still in the northern planets. After a rough screening, there are ten or twenty such planets.

"It's impossible to find more than 20 planets one by one. When will we find them? No, this method won't work."

Song Shuhui immediately denied this idea, the room was still smelly after a while, so she jumped on the window and went back outside.

Two animals with flowers and colors obviously different from the local animals stood on the roof, and soon attracted the attention of passing residents. Not long after, an old man stopped by the side of the road and looked at them.

"Are you two from outside? Are you looking for Toynby?"

Young people with some abilities in the small town have already left here to go to the big cities of this planet or other more prosperous planets, and those who remain in the small town are all elderly.

Hearing that he knew Toynby, Song Shuhui quickly stepped on the tip of the grass and jumped in front of him, looked up at the old man and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, but this place seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Has he left here?"

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the incomparably gorgeous color on her body. This was simply the most beautiful color he had ever seen. He admired it for a while before saying, "This child came back suddenly a few years ago. He doesn’t come out, he stays at home every day, we go to visit him and he doesn’t come out, I don’t know what’s wrong, this kid is so cheerful after disappearing, he is the most talented person in our small town, and the only one who passed the mech exam He is from the school, but I heard that he did not graduate and was dropped out of school. Alas, it is also our fault that we are too remote and poor to help him. He has been back for more than a year, and he doesn’t know when he left. He won’t let us Visiting, we have not been there for a long time. This time we have been away for two or three years and have not come back. I have helped to trim the yard for two years. This year I did not have the strength to do it. The house was covered with vines. Maybe he won't come back."

The grandfather is really old, his face is full of wrinkles, and he has to bend slightly when he walks. Song Shuhui only asked a question, and he talked a lot.

"Don't you know where he went?"

"I don't know. We haven't seen him a few times since he came back, and no one can communicate with him. It's really uncomfortable for a child to become like this."

Song Shuhui thought for a while and asked again: "You guys have seen him once or twice since he came back, right? How was he then? Does he look haggard? I heard he might get hurt."

The old man said, "Is he injured? No wonder he looks so bad. We thought he was hit. It's really all my fault. If only I insisted on seeing him."

The old man blamed himself when he said that, Song Shuhui hurriedly stretched out his paw on tiptoe to comfort him: "Don't worry, it's not your fault, didn't you see anyone coming to him at that time? He usually doesn't communicate with people at all? "

"Yeah, he has been at home since he came back and hasn't been anywhere. He has no parents. We neighbors have watched him grow up since he was a child, and we have ignored him. I heard from others that he even got into a fight and was imprisoned." Go in, but this kid is actually not like that, he is very upright and kind, but he is a bit resigned to death, and his heart is definitely not bad."

Song Shuhui also believes that people who can persist in running for Xin Dong are not bad.

"We trust him."

The old man smiled gratifiedly, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out: "Thank you, by the way, are you his friends?"

"It's a friend of his friend. I haven't heard from him for a long time. I just wanted to see him. I didn't expect this to happen. Do you know anyone who has a better relationship with him? We want to find him."

The old man thought for a while, and pointed to a house with a bright yellow roof: "Fat Kent used to have the best relationship with him. After he came back, he talked to him a few times and had a fight. I don't know what happened. Maybe you can Go ask."

Song Shuhui heaved a sigh of relief, and finally had some clues. She shook the grandfather's hand, and ran forward with Chasia.

Fat Kent is a very fat man, weighing 250 catties by visual inspection. His physique should be good, and he can easily move the goods. When the two passed by, he was unloading in front of the door. His house is facing the street, and there is a grocery store on the first floor , there are no customers in the store.

Song Shuhui and Chasia changed back into human form in the corner, put on their clothes, and entered the store as if wandering around.

This store is not big, but there are quite a lot of things in it, most of which are old styles that are not so smart, and the shelves are filled to the brim.

Song Shuhui picked and took a bag of candy that she had eaten once or twice, and no one is needed to pay the bill here.But Song Shuhui wanted to call someone in to talk, so she shouted inside the house on purpose.

"Boss, is there any advanced nutritional supplement?"

Few people in such a small town buy this kind of thing, and the most in the store are mid-level nutritional supplements, which can provide nutrition for a day.

The boss stood outside and replied in a loud voice: "No, we don't sell any in this small shop. You can go to John's house to have a look. He still has a little stock there, or you can go to the next city, which is only two miles away. Hour flight distance."

Seeing that no one came in, Song Shuhui wanted to yell again, so Chasia held down her wrist and went out to help the boss move the goods together. Several people joined in, and the goods that were almost finished were all moved in a short time.

The boss smiled at him: "Thank you. Are you here for tourism? Kemi City is a bit small and there are no attractions, but there is a kind of fruit wine in the nearby forest that is very delicious. Only our side has it. It’s not available in the store, so I can give you some to try.”

As he spoke, he walked into the room, washed off the dust on his body, and came out with a bottle the size of a mineral water bottle.

The bottle is transparent, and the wine inside is light red, very beautiful.

"My mother made it, this year's new wine."

Song Shuhui didn't expect this unexpected surprise, so she came over enthusiastically.

The boss opened the lid and poured three small cups. The wine had a sweet and sour taste, like hawthorn, and it was very refreshing in the mouth.

Song Shuhui drank two glasses in one breath, and couldn't help but gave the boss a thumbs up: "It tastes so good, it's the best wine I've ever had."

In fact, she hasn't had a few sips of wine, but compared to those she drank on Earth, this wine is considered top-notch.

The boss smiled and rolled his eyes: "As long as you like it."

"You can make more and sell them online. Maybe it will become a feature of Kemi City or even Xuelan Star in the future."

Although it is the interstellar era, Fat Kent has never traveled to any planet, and the farthest he has been to a transit planet is to buy goods. There are too many kinds of wine on the star network. He never thought that this thing would be popular. I was stunned for a moment, because someone had suggested the same to him before.

"The best wine I've ever drank in my life is the sour fruit wine from my hometown. Kent, you can really make more and open a store on Xingwang. It will definitely be very popular. Your mother's wine-making skills are the best."

At that time, Kent's answer was impossible: "Toynby, don't be kidding, this is wine made from wild fruits. It's okay to drink at home, but how can you sell it? The bottle of wine you brought back last time It's better than this."

"That's because you drank that taste for the first time, and after drinking two more sips, you feel normal. You don't always want to make a lot of money to bring your parents to live a good life. Since you don't want to leave Kemi City, you can only find a way from Xingwang. Just open a grocery store for the rest of your life. Are you really willing?"

Compared with the other party, Kent is really not talented, not very smart, nor ambitious, and even a little timid. One reason for not going out is that he is worried about the danger outside. He can't let go of his parents. Sometimes he is very envious of the other party, but the store is not He opened it as soon as he said it, and the amount of fruit for wine making is not much, and the nearby forest is only enough for his own food. He has to buy raw materials or grow fruit trees. To do these things, he must change the status quo. He is used to this kind of life, so let him do it In addition, he has to hesitate for a long time, and if he hesitates, the matter may fall through.

So in the end, he didn't do anything, but when he saw foreign tourists passing by, he still wanted to take it out for them to taste and listen to their opinions, whether it was really popular.

Now it proves that what the man said is correct, the sour fruit wine is really delicious, he shouldn't have hesitated for so long, last time he quarreled with the other party because of this matter.

"Do you really think it's delicious? If I sell it in a store, will someone be willing to buy it?" Fat Kent asked.

Chasia took another sip and nodded at him: "Yes, it really has a very special taste, and the alcohol content is not high. It is very suitable for drinking directly or as a cocktail."

Kent blinked, then turned abruptly to wipe away tears.

He shouldn't have quarreled with Toynby about it.

Seeing him crying suddenly while talking, Song Shuhui and Chasia were a little confused.The two looked at each other, Chasia shrugged, he didn't do anything.

Song Shuhui hesitated and said, "Are you okay?"

Kent wiped his still red eyes and said, "It's okay, I just thought of a friend. I had a fight with him last time because of this matter. I should believe him."

"Oh. Just apologize to him when we meet next time. There is no overnight feud between good friends."

"But he's been away for a long time, and he doesn't know when he will come back next time."

Song Shuhui's heart moved, and she felt that the person he mentioned was exactly the person they were looking for, so she said: "The friend you mentioned is Toynby, in fact, we came here this time to find him, we are friends of his friend, I just wanted to ask him about something, but when I came here, I found out that he had been away for a long time, and his house was covered with vines. We met an old man on the side of the road earlier, and he said that you and Toynby are friends, let us to ask you."

"Ah, it turns out that you are also Toynby's friends, come in and sit down."

After knowing the identities of the two, Kent's attitude suddenly became more enthusiastic. He closed the door and took the two to the backyard. The backyard was quite large, and an outdoor chair was placed. The three of them sat down, and Kent brought out a lot of fruit.

"Eat, don't mind. I'm seeing Toynby's friend for the first time, and I hope I haven't been slighted."

"No, no, do you know where he went? I heard that he has been away for almost two years."

Kent frowned and nodded: "Yes, but I don't know where to go. He looked very bad after he came back this time, as if he was injured. I went to see him twice, and he became very irritable and irritable. Out of control hit me once, and I was very worried about him. The last time we met, he was in better condition, and he said he had found a cure, and he would go for treatment, so I don’t have to worry.”

"Then what treatment did he say, and where is it?"

"I don't know about this. I asked at the time, but he didn't say anything, he just said that he was on a planet far away. Then, he said that I would definitely not leave Xuelan Star. What's the use of asking so much, anyway, people like me I only deserve to stay at Xuelanxing." Kent lowered his head, a little ashamed and annoyed when he repeated this sentence.

Toynby's speech is very irritating, but the last time we met, his speech became even worse. He couldn't bear it at that time and quarreled with him.

At the end of the quarrel, Toynby said discouragedly that it would be good to stay in Xuelanxing, anyway, he was happier than going outside, and said that he actually envied him.

That sentence shocked Kent so much that he didn't know what to say, and his anger disappeared. He didn't expect that the person he had always envied would say such a thing. He wanted to ask Toynby what he had encountered outside these years, but he Tell him to get out, and don't come to see me again. When he passed by two days later, Toynby had already left and never came back.

"If only I had asked and cared more about him." Kent thumped the table.

Chacia asked: "Are you sure he left Xue Lanxing?"

"It should be. I later heard people say that they saw him go out on a suspension car just after dawn."

Chasia continued to ask: "Then does he have a suitcase with him? Or does he have a bag on his back?"

"Ah? This? I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I don't know."

"Can you ask the person you saw again?"

"It's okay, I'll ask Aunt Millie. You wait here for me."

Kent ran out as soon as he said that. They didn't expect him to move so quickly, so the two had to wait in place. Fortunately, Kent came back after waiting for less than an hour.He panted and said: "I asked, although it has been two years, Aunt Millie still remembered that there was no suitcase or bag with Toynby, so Aunt Millie only thought that he was going to go around. I also said hello to him, but he left without replying, Aunt Millie had a bad day and complained for a long time."

He didn't even bring any luggage. Didn't he take away the fifteen nutritional supplements that disappeared?Instead, it was eaten by him. What made him leave without even taking the nutritional supplements?
Chasia suddenly suspected that Toynby had never left Xue Lanxing.
