Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, we are staying at the guesthouse. Please open two single rooms for us."

The fat woman opened two single rooms for them. In the mid-1990s, staying at a guesthouse was very convenient. In this era, staying at such a privately contracted guesthouse didn't require an introduction letter or an ID card registration. As long as you paid, you could stay, which was just right for Su Xinghui.

The fat woman sent the two to the second floor and opened the door for them. She smiled and said, "My surname is Wu. You can call me Sister Wu. If you have anything, just call me. This room has a bathroom, a TV, and a fan. Every night when you come back, you can go downstairs to get hot water."

Su Xinghui asked, "Is there a phone?"

Sister Wu said, "There is no phone in the room, but there is a phone on the first floor. As long as you don't make long-distance calls or too many calls, you don't need to pay extra. If someone wants to find you, you can also report the phone number here to him and let him call over, and we will help him call you."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, thank you, Sister Wu."

Sister Wu went downstairs. Su Xinghui looked at the room, and the sheets were quite clean. Now this was not a state-run guesthouse, but all privately contracted. If the conditions were too poor, they wouldn't be able to attract customers.

After sitting for a while, the two went downstairs, took the phone on the first floor, and called Xu Yufu's office. After the call was connected, Xu Yufu's voice came from the phone. Su Xinghui said, "Is that Brother Xu? It's Xiao Su. I've arrived in Qingxi."

On the phone, Xu Yufu said, "Xiao Su, I've inquired about that matter, but there is no news yet."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, alright, alright, then I'll call you again at noon."

After hanging up, Su Xinghui said, "Sister Wu, we are going out. If anyone calls us, please tell him that we will call back."

Sister Wu nodded and said, "Alright, you can go out."

Su Xinghui drove the car and drove onto the street with Zhang Bin. He looked carefully at the road signs and remembered the roads in the Qingxi county seat. This was the first thing he did every time he arrived at a place: familiarize himself with the terrain. Otherwise, if Xu Yufu helped him find Weng Guoying's whereabouts, he wouldn't be able to find the place.

The two wandered around the street, parked the car on the side of the road, sat down at a small snack stall on the side of the road, ordered two bowls of rice noodles and a plate of stinky tofu, and ate. They ate very slowly, talking to the stall owner while eating.

The stall owner was an old man in his fifties. It was already almost nine o'clock, and there weren't many people eating at his snack stall, so he was quite leisurely.

Su Xinghui asked, "Grandpa, your business here is pretty good, right?"

The old man smiled honestly and said, "It's just enough to make a living. Judging by your accents, you're not from Qingxi, right? Are you here to play?"

Su Xinghui said, "I'm from Xinhe County, here to find a friend for something."

The old man nodded and said, "Judging by your accent, it sounds like Xinhe County. I went to Xinhe County when I was young. It's a good place."

Su Xinghui said, "I think your Qingxi County is a good place, with mountains and water. Xinhe County doesn't even have a small hill."

The old man sighed and said, "Sigh, the place is a good place, but..."

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head.

Su Xinghui asked, "Grandpa, what do you mean by this?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing, don't take it to heart." ===== CHAPTER 1217 =====
