I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 300 Free Labor +4?

The parchment treasure map is very abstract, but once the location is known, the next target will be much easier to find.

Soon, Lin Yuan brought Yang Jian and others to the west side of the village.

There is a dense forest here. Once you walk into the forest, the already dark night suddenly becomes darker. The space in the forest seems particularly small and the vision is severely obstructed.

"How long have we been here? Why do we feel like we're about to lose our way?" Ah Hong whispered, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Li Jun looked around. "I can't see the sky or the outside from here. Everything is blocked. It's normal to feel this way. Stay close to the store manager. Don't leave him. This way, even if you encounter danger, it will be under control."

There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and stepping on it felt like walking on a thick carpet.

There are no weeds or shrubs around, so it looks relatively clean and tidy. The surroundings are very quiet and mysterious, and you can vaguely see many grave mounds.

This is obviously what was left over from the old rural burials. It is a very old grave and some of the tombstones are no longer visible.

In such an environment, Guo Fan, who was already a lackey, got even closer to Lin Yuan.

If he wasn't afraid of Lin Yuan's disgust, he would probably just hold Lin Yuan's thigh tightly. In this kind of forest, Li Jun, Ah Hong, and even Yang Jian were all extremely alert.

After the experience in the fish pond just now, it was obvious that this forest should also have unknown strangeness.

Perhaps, there are also dismembered parts of a ghost buried there, or maybe a puzzle piece?
In comparison, Lin Yuan was very excited. "It feels a bit like treasure hunting here. The fish pond just now was too boring. By the way, Xiao Yang, this forest is not yours too, right?"

Yang Jian looked around and suddenly his eyes were fixed on a small wooden house not far ahead. He whispered, "No, my father only contracted the fish pond before, not the forest. But he raised dogs here, and he raised a lot of them."

At this point, his heart was full of doubts.

There was a puzzle piece that looked like the dismembered remains of a ghost buried in his own fish pond. What about the woods and the dog in them?

To conceal your tracks?
That shouldn't be right. Before, they just threw some fish fry into the fish pond to hide the box, which could be said to be a cover-up. But this forest is obviously not like that.

Lin Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Jian with a strange look.

This made Yang Jian feel uneasy, "Brother Yuan, is there something wrong with me?"

"There's nothing wrong. But tell me the truth, Brother Yuan. Is this treasure map yours? Is it the treasure hunt game your father played with you before?"

Lin Yuan made a "reasonable" guess. Without waiting for Yang Jian to answer, he continued, "You may not know. This treasure map has obviously not been used, otherwise the treasure buried in the fish pond would not have been dug out until now. It should be the game that your father prepared before being tricked by the post office into selling himself, but he left without a chance to play it, so it has been kept until now. That's right, it must be like this!"

Looking at Lin Yuan's expression of "I discovered the truth", Yang Jian's mouth twitched, but he did not refute, but acquiesced.

Obviously, all this is indeed closely related to his father.

Just don't know.

When did this incident happen? The ghost body that my father left in the ghost post office was not aware of what happened here.

"Let's go and take a look at the wooden house in front first. By the way, Xiao Yang, this wooden house should be yours, right? Is it okay for us to go in and look for treasure?"

Lin Yuan still respects personal privacy.

Yang Jian shook his head, "No problem, I want to know the truth too."

"Haha! Then let's go!"

There were no accidents along the way and they arrived at the cabin smoothly.

The roof of the wooden house has rotted away, leaving only a rough outline. It can be seen that someone has lived in this wooden house before, otherwise they would not have deliberately built such a thing here.

After all, this place is some distance away from the village, and normal people would never stay here.

The wooden door of the cabin had disappeared. I didn't know whether it had been taken away by someone or had rotted in the leaves at foot. After walking in, I found that the space inside was very small.

There is only enough space for a single bed, and there is not much space to move around.

With just a casual glance, you can tell there is nothing in this wooden house. After all, so many years have passed that all traces have been erased.

"Boss, do you want to dig?"

Guo Fan asked in a flattering manner.

With the experience in the fish pond, it is obvious that the "treasure" buried here must be underground.

In fact, if we use the ghost domain, we should be able to move the things underground up, but in order to show respect for the treasure hunt game of the "store manager", Guo Fan said:
It’s definitely not because I don’t have a ghost domain!
Lin Yuan did not agree immediately. Instead, he picked up the parchment and read it carefully. "The approximate location is in this forest, but it is not specific to where in the forest. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work here, go somewhere else. Oh, and find some tools, such as a shovel, so that we can dig the soil."

Li Jun and Yang Jian looked at each other.

They all have ghost realms, but if they dare to use such superpowers under the nose of the "store manager", they will have to face the supernatural attacks of the real store manager.

Not worth the candle!

If, in the past, the character setting and worldview could be determined, they could be tested by the "store manager" through various means, or even the "store manager's" worldview could be transformed, so that the world perceived by the "store manager" would be more satisfied with the headquarters' control over supernatural events.

So now, after confirming the existence of the real store manager.

All means were restricted. Even if the real store manager didn't say anything, they couldn't do it as before.

Without real contact, no one knows where the real store manager's bottom line is.

So, go find a shovel.

This place is a bit far from the village, but that is for ordinary people. As long as they leave the sight of the "store manager", they can travel through the ghost realm.

What is an extremely luxurious thing for ordinary ghost riders is a very common means for Li Jun and Yang Jian at this time.

"I have a shovel at home. I'll go get it."

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

After getting Lin Yuan's permission, Yang Jian turned and left. Li Jun said, "Maybe you need two or three shovels. I'll go help," and followed him out.

Ah Hong naturally did not fall behind, as she is now Li Jun's little follower.

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Lin Yuan suddenly said, "Xiao Guo, do you think there is something going on between Lao Li and Xiao Hong?"

The corner of Guo Fan's mouth twitched.

He was really impressed by the "store manager's" ability to name things.

The people he meets are either Lao Li or Xiao Yang. That's fine, at least they're acceptable. But who the hell is this Xiaohong? Is she Bald Qiang's elementary school deskmate, or Lin Hongyu, the capable maid in Aunt Feng's hands in the book "Dream of Red Mansions"?
Even though he complained, Guo Fan didn't dare to show any abnormality.

As a senior bootlicker, Guo Fan has a clear idea of ​​his own positioning - an intern who may be laid off due to lack of ability can only deepen his value by flattering and bootlicking.

So, he said seriously: "Boss, you are right. The two of them usually interact with each other. Lao Li is incorruptible and hides it better, while Xiao Hong doesn't have such deep thoughts. Sometimes she looks at Lao Li with a tearful look..."

Guo Fan said some true and false words to prove the correctness of Lin Yuan's guess, without caring about the consequences at all.

Or in other words, what could be the consequences?
If the "store manager" really thinks that Li Jun and Ah Hong are a couple, then even if they are not a couple, they have to act as a couple.

By then, will you still be able to find fault with yourself?
Hey!

Thinking of this, Guo Fan worked even harder, especially when he saw Lin Yuan's interested eyes, and continued telling the story.

"Before I resigned, Lao Li and Xiao Hong were in the team..."

After leaving the woods, although this place is still shrouded in white fog and ghostly territory, it has already left the sight of the "store manager".

The animalized evil spirit returned to the body.

A powerful and strange feeling filled his body, and his sense of security returned. Li Jun looked at Yang Jian, "Is your father also a ghost rider?"

Yang Jian asked back, "The moment Yang Xiao showed up at the Peace Hotel, you should have already created his supernatural file, right?"

"This is different. Yang Xiao in the Peace Hotel is just a product of the supernatural, not a real person. Even if he has your father's memories, the memories only stay in a certain period of time. The situation in your hometown this time is almost 100% likely caused by him. If you can know some information about him, it will be very helpful for the next work."

"That's really disappointing to you. It was only after I met Yang Xiao at the Peace Hotel that I learned that my father was a ghost rider. I knew nothing else. What's more, with the store manager here, even if an S-level or even higher-level ghost appears, do we really need to worry?"

After saying this, Yang Jian didn't give Li Jun any chance to ask any more questions and turned into a rainbow and left.

Li Jun frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Yang Jian's answer.

"He doesn't trust us, or rather, he doesn't have enough trust in the person in charge of the headquarters." Ah Hong said softly.

Li Jun nodded. "I understand. The headquarters is sometimes overbearing. It is natural that some misunderstandings may occur. Let's go. We need to deal with today's affairs. Otherwise, the store manager will miss the flight tomorrow morning."

Ah Hong nodded.

She naturally remembered that this trip to Meishan Village was just an accident, and the real purpose was to send the "store manager" to the island country to pick up the watchdog, the knocker, Lao Hei.

"Don't resist. I will use the ghost realm to take you away."

In fact, even without Li Jun's reminder, Ah Hong would not resist his ghost domain.

But when they were about to leave, they all looked in one direction, which was the direction of the village entrance. It was the middle of the night, but a jeep came back from outside.

Ah Hong asked, "It should be a family coming back for the funeral. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Need not."

Li Jun made the decision, and Ah Hong naturally would not refuse, and then the two of them went to Yang Jian's house. At this time, the jeep had already entered the village, and by coincidence, it just happened to stop at the door of the two-story building of Yang Jian's house, and ran into Yang Jian, Li Jun, and Ah Hong who were coming out of the house.

Yang Jian and his two companions each carried a shovel, and their main goal was fairness.

The car was full of people, both men and women. I couldn't see clearly because of the windows until the driver's window was opened. Then I realized it was a man about 30 years old, wearing a down jacket, looking a little bloated.

He looked at the shovels carried by Yang Jian and the other two with a strange look, but he didn't ask any more questions and got straight to business. "Fellow villager, can I ask you something?"

Yang Jian's eyes looked strange, but fortunately it was not very clear in the light of the night.

Facing the inquiries of this group of strangers, Yang Jian was very cooperative. After a friendly exchange, the man driving the car took out a photo and said, "We are going to look for someone here. Can you tell us where he is?"

The photo is black and white and a bit old, but it is in very good condition.

It was a forest with a dim background. There was a small wooden house in the middle of the forest. The surroundings were dark and eerie, with shadows everywhere. The tone was depressing and dark, which made people feel very uncomfortable when they saw it.

This place was clearly the place they had just been to and were now planning to go to!

Li Jun and Ah Hong also saw the photo, and when they looked at the man driving the car, their eyes became strange and weird.

The man hadn't noticed anything unusual. It seemed that the darkness of the night and the white fog in the darkness had reduced his sensitivity to information from the outside world. "Do you know this place? If you can take me there, I can give you a thousand dollars as a reward."

To show his sincerity, he even took out a thousand yuan and handed it over.

"If you have other things to do, you can also show me the way, and I can give you the thousand dollars."

This is already a very quick deal. You can get one thousand yuan for just showing me the way. It’s really a great deal.

Yang Jian's eyes flickered, and he suddenly laughed, "Okay, you guys keep going along this road, it's about two kilometers. You can't drive there, you need to walk. It's a forest in the field. You can see it at the end of the road. It's not difficult to fight."

"Haha! Thank you then. Here."

The man readily handed over one thousand yuan to Yang Jian, then closed the car window and drove away.

At this time, a woman in the car looked at Yang Jian and others who were gradually disappearing in the white mist in the rearview mirror, and said in a deep voice: "Li Yue, there is something wrong with them. They actually went out with shovels in the middle of the night. They might be going to bury someone. I just don't know if they are burying a dead person or a living person."

The man driving the car, or Li Yue, nodded. "It's really wrong. Too many people have died in this Meishan Village. Didn't you notice that when we came in, eight out of ten families were holding funerals. The atmosphere was very strange. And this place is shrouded in a strange white fog. Although it doesn't look like anything supernatural, it always gives people a very uncomfortable feeling. But these have nothing to do with us. We will leave after delivering the letter. Don't make trouble, and there is no need to deal with any supernatural events."

"You're right. The most taboo thing in our line of work is to meddle in other people's business. Complete the task and leave. Don't mess with other things."

On Yang Jian's side, he was looking at the one thousand yuan in his hand.

These coins are old version.

This type of money has been out of use for many years and is no longer popular on the market. At most, it is collected rather than used officially.

The money the man handed over was brand new, as if he had just withdrawn it from the bank.

"This money is not fake." Li Jun made a judgment, "Yang Jian, do you feel that these people's behavior is familiar?"

Yang Jian nodded, "It has a familiar smell."

messenger!

The courier from the ghost post office!
This is certainly not based on feeling, but everything they said in the car was heard by Yang Jian and Li Jun, and they used... the ghost domain.

"Send a letter."

Just these two words seem to explain their identities.

"The ghost post office really has no good intentions. It always interferes wherever there are supernatural events. If we have the chance in the future, we must destroy it!"

There was a fierce light flashing in Yang Jian's eyes, and he did not hide his thoughts at all.

Li Jun reminded, "Yang Xiao is still in the ghost post office, are you willing to let him go?"

"It's just a supernatural product. This time he asked the store manager to bring a letter. I'll go meet him and see what he wants to say."

Yang Jian picked up the shovel and said, "Let's go and wait for the store manager. Maybe we won't have to work so hard later."

Li Jun nodded, "Very likely."

Yang Jian, Li Jun and Ah Hong did not return immediately, but stayed for a while, leaving some time, and then rushed over using the ghost realm.

I can't go back too early, otherwise I won't be able to convince the "store manager" and might even attract an attack from the real store manager.

When they arrived, Lin Yuan was sitting outside the cabin.

Guo Fan, who was standing by, was talking excitedly. When he saw Li Jun and Ah Hong, he stopped in embarrassment.

Li Jun didn't think there was anything wrong, but Ah Hong was very perceptive and asked with a smile: "You stopped talking when you saw us. Are you saying bad things about us? Talking about people behind their backs is not a good habit."

"I didn't say much, just talked about things in the police force and mentioned you two by the way." Lin Yuan took over the topic with a smile.

For his own employees, even if they are interns who are likely to be fired, as long as they are still a member of the store, Lin Yuan will take care of them.

Of course, if Guo Fan’s ability really does not meet the requirements and he is fired, he will no longer receive such treatment in the future.

Guo Fan was extremely grateful, but he didn't know that Lin Yuan had made everything very clear. He was still muttering to himself in his heart: "The store manager spoke for me, my flattery was not in vain, and I don't have to be fired!"

"Brother Yuan, the shovel has been brought over."

Yang Jian put the shovel on the ground, and Guo Fan immediately stepped forward to take one, of course the one in Ah Hong's hand, "Let's dig together. Ah Hong, you are a lady, just take a rest."

"Thank you so much." Ah Hong smiled.

Guo Fan waved his hand, wielded the shovel and started working. But after working for a while, he found that Yang Jian and Li Jun did not start working. He could not help but frowned, "Aren't you going to start working?"

Yang Jian pointed outside and said, "Someone is coming."

Guo Fan looked in the direction Yang Jian pointed, and sure enough, he saw three men and one woman walking towards them.

Leading the group was Li Yue, who had just driven the car. He was carrying a travel backpack, which was so heavy that no one knew what was inside. Behind him were two men and one woman, who were also carrying backpacks, as if they were going mountain climbing or camping.

It’s just that their complexions were very bad, their looks were haggard and their faces were gaunt, but their eyes were very strange, as if they were looking around with an alien gaze, and they felt different from normal people.

Because the forest was not big, the group quickly approached and discovered Lin Yuan and his group.

Their eyes instantly became alert, especially when they saw Yang Jian, Li Jun and Ah Hong among them, they became even more vigilant.

"You guys...you're walking really fast, faster than I can drive. Is there a small road nearby?"

Yang Jian did not answer, but looked behind him, where Lin Yuan was.

The same was true for Li Jun, Ah Hong, and Guo Fan. This also made Li Yue realize one thing, that is, this group of weird people is centered around Lin Yuan.

Looking at the three shovels on the ground, Li Yue suddenly had a guess in his mind, "Are they here to deliver a letter as well? Impossible, there is only one letter..."

Lin Yuan also came out at this time. He looked at the few people and said with a smile: "Are you here to hunt for treasure too?"

Then he looked at Yang Jian again.

Is Yang Xiao that kid any good? It’s ok that the treasure map he gave to his son was dropped randomly on the road in the village, but now other people are coming here to look for treasure?
Obviously, although he did not get the answer, he had already made a judgment.

"What do you mean by treasure hunting? Who are you?" A man stood up behind Li Yue and took out a pistol from his arms.

Li Yue hesitated for a moment, but did not stop them. He even winked at the other man and woman.

Afterwards, the three of them tacitly stepped back and let the man stand in the front. This obvious act of selling out teammates was done very naturally by them.

But the man hadn't noticed it yet, and his face was full of anger.

His gun also made Yang Jian, Li Jun and others look completely gloomy, while Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and put his hand into his arms.

He also has a gun, and it's a Black Star, which is much more powerful than the antique opposite.

But he suddenly remembered that Li Jun and Ah Hong were still here. They were all police officers, and so was Yang Jian.

If he draws his gun now, how can he explain it?

So he withdrew his hand and wisely took a few steps back. At this time, Guo Fan cleverly stood in front of him.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!

Lin Yuan was very emotional, but he still pulled Guo Fan away, "Old Li, the enemy is not coming in the right direction, they have fired guns."

"clear."

Li Jun stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "It's illegal use of firearms. If you can't produce a firearms license, then come with me."

It was also at this time that the people on the opposite side seemed to discover that Li Jun had a jellyfish-like hat on his head, with a burning candle emitting green light inside.

What kind of look is this?

wrong……

"boom!"
