Hua Tiancheng drove a pickup truck and a golden retriever around Xijing City. He ran from morning to seven o'clock in the afternoon, but still found nothing. At this moment, Hua Tiancheng was anxious and had no appetite for eating. If he couldn't find Ma Zhong, it would mean that his fifteen acres of land would not come back. However, Hua Tiancheng was born with a unyielding character, and he had to do things with a beginning and an end. He must find Ma Zhong, and he would live to see people and die to see corpses.

Just when Hua Tiancheng felt soreness in his back and was extremely disappointed, he saw an old man who was stocking on the side of the road, so Hua Tiancheng parked his car on the side of the road. Then he brought the golden retriever to the old man and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you something?" After that, Hua Tiancheng took out a cigarette, handed it to the old man and lighted it, and he also came one.

The old man who was stocking was full of wrinkles, his beard was unshaven and unkempt, his clothes were dirty, he had a rope tied around his waist, and the cracks in his nails were black. The old man took a sip of cigarettes, then looked at Hua Tiancheng and asked, "Young man, just ask if you have anything to do. I, an old farmer who was stocking, don't know much, but I am more familiar with the terrain here."

"Uncle, I have been wandering around this area for a day, why didn't I see a factory?" Hua Tiancheng asked at the old uncle.

The old uncle smiled and said, "You haven't found the right place. There is a big factory ten kilometers from here. I guess it is a black workshop without formal procedures. The door is closed and people are not sure what they are doing inside. Anyway, the chimneys of this factory are always filled with thick smoke, and the smell is very pungent. Sometimes when I pass by, I occasionally see someone entering and leaving the factory. However, I rarely go anywhere to stock, and the smell of sheep doesn't eat grass when they smell it."

"How to get to this factory, uncle?" Seeing Hua Tiancheng ask, the old uncle pointed the direction to Hua Tiancheng with his hands: "When I go in here, I see a high chimney, and the place is filled with black smoke. However, there are many gangsters, with knives hidden in their waists, and they usually don't get close to them. When I was stocking, I was driven away a few times, and later I rarely went to that place."

"Thank you, uncle. I would like to ask, is there a large forest here in that place?" Hua Tiancheng asked again.

The old uncle thought for a while and said, "You follow the place I just pointed to you, and you walked forward almost five kilometers. There was a ravine. There was a large forest in that ravine, and the trees were all very tall. A forest ranger watched it and was not allowed to be stocked, but I was familiar with that place."

"I understand, thank you uncle." Hua Tiancheng handed the old man another cigarette. When the old man saw that it was a good cigarette, he couldn't bear to smoke it and clamped it to his ear. The old man looked at Hua Tiancheng and asked, "Young man, what are you doing? You don't look like an official in cloth shoes?"

Hua Tiancheng smiled and said, "I am also a farmer. A relative of me came out to work. I have been missing for more than two months. My family is almost dying. I searched in the city for several days, but I found many units but couldn't find anyone, so I thought of trying my luck around me."

"Oh, so that's it! So, the relative you are looking for may be in that black factory. The black factory is far away from the city and is a place without any care. The public security is very messy, and the people guarding the door are fierce. I saw two big black dogs tied at the gate of this black factory. Sometimes I saw them wearing big masks for the big dog, and I don't know what it means. But if you want to find your relative, I will give you an idea. Don't get close during the day. If you get close during the day, it will attract their attention and be driven away.

It’s better to wait until the night is quiet and you sneak in and take a look. Maybe you can find the person you are looking for. The smoke-emitting factory is the largest, covering an area of ​​ten acres, and the surrounding walls are very high, and there are barbed wire on the walls, making it like a prison. The factory is often closed with iron gates, and there is no written what it does outside.”

Saying goodbye to the old uncle, Hua Tiancheng drove again in the direction the old man pointed. After walking about five kilometers, he did see a large ditch after turning the corner. The trees were lush and the pheasants could be heard from time to time. So Hua Tiancheng drove slowly to the forest, and instantly felt very cool and comfortable. Due to the low terrain, there was little pollution and the air was very fresh. Last night, there was no pungent smell due to wind and rain.

Hua Tiancheng didn't see the forest ranger mentioned by the old uncle at this moment, so he took out Ma Zhong's photo and breathed deeply the fairy spirit in the deep ditch. The image of Ma Zhong in his mind became clearer and clearer as Hua Tiancheng changed directions. From this point of view, Ma Zhong was indeed not far from here. In the image displayed in his mind, Hua Tiancheng saw Ma Zhong still lying on a bed, his face was sallow and coughing constantly, as if he was seriously ill. The place where he lived was a dilapidated iron room with ten high and low beds in the room.

After confirming that Ma Zhong was in this place, Hua Tiancheng felt that he had breakfast in the morning and had not eaten yet. Now there is still time tonight, so why not find a place to fill your stomach first, and when it is late at night, find the big factory to check the situation. Moreover, Hua Tiancheng thought that he wanted to enter such a factory, and he also had to take some protective measures, such as masks and water, or wet towels.

Hua Tiancheng has been looking for so many places recently and has nothing to find. Unexpectedly, he gave a free-range old man two cigarettes and got such important information. He really found it without any effort to search for it. He didn't choose the right direction. If he had searched around earlier, Ma Zhong might have been found long ago. Fortunately, on the last day, he got such important information. It is still a question whether he could find Ma Zhong tonight. If he really found it, it is also a question whether he could rescue him.

It seems that Ma Zhong is very ill, so he has to prepare some medicine. Thinking of this, Hua Tiancheng drove away from here almost. When everything is ready, he will have enough food to accumulate energy, and start an adventure rescue journey to the evening.

Soon Hua Tiancheng found a relatively clean restaurant and ordered a small plate of chicken, plus two plates of thin-skinned noodles. Hua Tiancheng had not eaten lunch and ate the small plate of chicken and two noodles in a few seconds. Hua Tiancheng threw the small bones to the Golden Retriever, and then bought two steamed buns and broke them for the Golden Retriever to eat, because the Golden Retriever will also participate in the rescue operation tonight, and it must eat something.

After having a full meal, Hua Tiancheng lie in the car and slept soundly, waiting for the night to arrive. Is Ma Zhong in that factory? If Hua Tiancheng is alone, can he rescue the sick Ma Zhong? Even Hua Tiancheng is not sure.
