When consciousness came again, Bai Xiu found himself standing in a corridor, and the dim light spilled from the emergency lights in the corridor behind him, allowing him to barely see the ground in the corridor.

There seems to be a room in front of it, and there are lights coming from inside.

He took two steps, and suddenly felt that this place was very familiar, and when he reacted, a chill quietly climbed his back - this, isn't this the mezzanine of the Xiwen gambling house, how did he get here?

Could it be that he is dreaming again?

Bai Xiu couldn't be sure, but this immersive sense of clarity was by no means something that a dream could give.

He pondered, and walked slowly towards the office, where he soon saw a familiar figure sitting in the chair with his back to him.

At first, he thought it was Li Chun, but he didn't think it was like it, so he simply asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"

The other party slowly turned his head, a smile appeared on his face that was exactly the same as him, and said in the same voice as him: "I'm Bai Xiu." ”

"Are you Bai Xiu, then who am I?" Bai Xiu was a little skeptical that he was crazy, that he had seen another self, or that he had just had a strange dream.

The other party smiled and said, "You are also Bai Xiu." ”

Bai Xiu thought of a little and suddenly said, "You are the real Bai Xiu." ”

The other party shook his head: "I'm not Bai Xiu, you are Bai Xiu." ”

Bai Xiu had a splitting headache and asked, "Then you are Zheng Ruxin?"

The other party still shook his head: "I'm not Zheng Ruxin, and you are not Zheng Ruxin." ”

A sense of dizziness hit him, Bai Xiu staggered a few steps, held on to the door frame before barely standing firm, and muttered, "Who are you?"

"You're too weak, don't run around anymore. The man who looked exactly like him said with pity, "Go back, go back quickly......

Am I out of my soul again, and who is this person?

Bai Xiu rubbed his eyebrows, but the increasingly thick darkness still hit him, and after a short struggle, he finally lost consciousness.

When he came to his senses completely, he found himself lying in a strange place, and immediately heard Fang Xin cry with joy: "Great, you finally woke up......

Bai Xiu vaguely guessed what was going on, and sure enough, she said in amazement: "Your friend said that you suddenly fell into a coma in her car, and she had nowhere to go, so she sent you over......"

Seeing him in a daze, Fang Xin said worriedly: "Bai Xiu, are you better now?"

Bai Xiu came back to her senses and nodded: "It's okay, I'm worrying you again." ”

His intimate tone made Fang Xin's face blush, and he whispered, "You're not angry with me?"

Bai Xiu nodded and smiled, thinking in his heart, he had failed Zheng Ruyi's affection for him, and he had also failed Fang Xin's love for him, and his own obstinate actions hurt those who loved him.

It's a pity that some things are irreparable and unavoidable, and all he can do is cherish the present and cherish the people in front of him.

The next day, Dragon Shadow Villa.

On the wide desktop was a map that was one meter long and half a meter wide, and a black line zigzaged through the east, west, north and south, which was a mark that Fang Ling had already made.

Her gaze swept over everyone, and she said in a deep voice: "This is the map recorded on the life box, we set off after lunch, first take the car to Fucheng, and then turn into the Phoenix Mountain Range from the rural road west of Fucheng. ”

Fang Jin raised his concerns: "The Phoenix Mountain Range is connected to the Long'an Mountain Range, covering an area no smaller than the main mountain ranges of the Qinling Mountains, and the Aftermath Heaven is never bigger than a city, so it is not easy to find such a small target......

Fang Ling was also a little helpless: "There are so many clues, we can only bite the bullet, I have brought supplies for two weeks, if there is nothing in the end, then come back first, and then search the area by area after rectification." ”

"Not only are the people from the other two families and the six factions of Shenzhou staring at us, but the others are also ready to move, and without even thinking about it, they will definitely follow us and wait for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to us.

So this time we have to bring more people, they don't dare to come openly, there won't be too many people, so it's more advantageous. ”

Seeing that the others had no opinions, she began to assign work, "Then, Brother Dongfang will lead the large army to the queen of the palace, me, Ah Jin, Ah Xin, An Yun, the four of us will take ten disciples and Bai Xiu as the vanguard to explore the way in front." ”

After speaking, she smiled at Bai Xiu: "Please leave it to you this time." ”

"We're all friends, you're welcome. Bai Xiu nodded, but couldn't help but think in her heart, Fang Ling was really not that simple, Fang Xun's death was not a big blow to her, but she had adjusted in such a short time.

One more point......

He glanced at the young man named An Yun without a trace, he originally thought that this person was just the most ordinary one among the disciples of the Fang family, but he didn't expect that he was Fang Chunjun's henchman.

This person's ability to participate in the robbery of life at least shows that his deep core position is also deeply hidden.

Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Ling winked at him: "I forgot to say it, there will be people coming over in a while, and they are also part of this operation." ”

The only thing Bai Xiu could think of was his second brother Bai Che, and sure enough, when he gathered, a familiar figure floated in.

And the person who was traveling with him was really a little unexpected by Bai Xiu, it was Bai Liang, he knew it instantly, it seemed that the Bai family finally couldn't hold their breath.

Seeing Bai Xiu, he was also a little surprised, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Long time no see." ”

Before Bai Xiu could react, Bai Che put his shoulder, looked at Bai Liang and said, "Who hasn't seen you for a long time, our brothers are not familiar with you." ”

"Hmph. Bai Liang gave him a blank look, and went to greet Fang Ling by himself.

Bai Xiu's thoughts were quite complicated, he thought that Bai Che died at the hands of Zheng Ruyi, and vowed to avenge his second brother, but he didn't expect that Zheng Ruyi really died because of him in the end, is there really a providence in the dark?

"What's the matter, I'm not happy to see me?" Bai Che raised his eyebrows at him, and said with a hippie smile.

This is Bai Che, who Bai Xiu said is familiar with, and the other party seems to have no problem with him, but he is a little rusty in his heart for some reason, which makes him a little confused.

Fortunately, Bai Che's character is like this, even if he ignores himself, he will continue to say to himself: "The New Year is still a few months away, my aunt and her old man have been thinking about you, when this side is over, you can go home with me." ”

The word "home" seemed too far away for him, he didn't even know who he was, how did he know where his home was?

He smiled reluctantly and nodded, in fact, he still had doubts in his heart, such as looking at Bai Che and Bai Liang's attitudes, the Bai family didn't seem to plan to pursue him for killing Bai Yu.

However, he didn't dare to ask Bai Che, even if it was no longer the first thorn in Bai Che's heart, it was also a thorn in his heart.

Soon, a bus arrived as scheduled, including the eight of them, and seven disciples of the Fang family, which attracted attention, and they simply disguised themselves as employees of the company who went to Phoenix Mountain for a tour.

Fucheng was far from Decheng, and it was a full thirty-four hours before they reached their destination.

Because it was almost midnight, Fang Ling arranged for them to rest in Fucheng for one night and set off again the next morning.

After a night of silence, at noon the next day, the bus they took finally arrived at the end of the village road, Jiuzhujing Village.

When he stayed in Fucheng, Bai Xiu had heard of this village.

It is famous in Fucheng, first because it is adjacent to Phoenix Ridge, whether it is a person who collects medicine or hunts, it is a must-pass place.

Second, because of its name, I heard that there is an ancient well in the village, called the sake brewing well, in which the well water is clear and sweet, and there is a faint fragrance of wine.

Because of this well, many people come to visit, and the village of Jiuzhujing has become a veritable tourist village, although the area is not large, but it is complete, and there are not a few hotels and restaurants.

Therefore, among the many tourists, although they have a large team, they are not eye-catching.

After getting out of the car, the group did not rush into the mountain, Fang Ling led them into a homestay converted from a self-built building.

The owner, a man in his forties, greeted them very warmly when he saw that there was a big business.

Fang Ling asked the four disciples to put away the large luggage, and he said to the boss with a smile: "Don't work for anything, please fry a few signature dishes for us, pick up expensive points, don't worry about money, everyone usually works hard, today is just a good time to reward everyone." ”

The boss smiled on his face, and while shouting at the kitchen, he said attentively: "I said why the magpie can't stop calling today, it turns out that you are a distinguished guest!"

Fang Ling was exquisite, and in a few words, he asked him to pat his chest and say, "Miss Fang, just call me Lao Lin, just say hello if you have something." ”

Fang Ling said without a trace: "We have been in the office building for a long time, it's like going to the mountains to get close to nature, in addition to the wine brewing well, what other good places to go around here?"

Lao Lin introduced them one by one: "You are asking the right person, this is a hundred miles away, and there is no land that I don't know!"

According to the distance, the nearest is the chestnut flat on the back mountain, and then go up, is the dwarf bamboo forest, behind the dwarf bamboo forest is the wine brewing mountain stone forest, behind the stone forest is the wine brewing spring - it is the source of the wine brewing well, the wine brewing spring has a large maple leaf forest behind the wine brewing spring, very beautiful!"

Seeing that the time had come, she smiled and said, "Zhaoyue Cave is not far away, I heard that the scenery there is quite good." ”

The boss laughed: "It turns out that the girl came prepared, but that place is far away, and you can't get there in a day if you don't walk on it, and the mountains behind are relatively dense, and it's easy to get lost, and you can't go without a guide." ”

Fang Ling heard the meaning of his words, took out a few banknotes and stuffed them into his hand, and smiled lightly: "We want to go there this time to have a look, boss, you know a lot of people, help us find it, this is a hard fee, when I find someone, I will give two salaries, one for you and one for him." ”

Lao Lin smiled and took the money.

It happened that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who didn't know whether he was a cook or a waiter came out with a plate, Lao Lin stopped him and said in the local dialect: "Pine needles, these people want to rely on Zhaoyue Dongzai, you take them to rely on you, and give you 500 yuan." ”

Pine Needle nodded very skillfully, put down the plate and went into the kitchen.

Fang Ling couldn't help frowning: "This little brother is too young, so you don't need to trouble him......"

Lao Lin knew what she was thinking, and she was laying out the facts, and playing the emotional card: "Miss Fang, you don't know, this baby has no parents since she was a child, and she has lived with her grandparents who are seventy or eighty years old, and she doesn't study at a young age."

I also saw that he was pitiful, so I asked him to help in my store, and now that I have such an opportunity to make money, of course I want to give it to him.

Moreover, he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and his courage is greater than that of other children, not to mention the Zhaoyue Cave, in order to collect some medicinal herbs, he has been to deeper mountains. ”

Fang Ling was suspicious, looked at Bai Xiu and the others inquiringly, and saw that they all nodded, so he took out another handful of banknotes and handed it to him: "We won't let you suffer, well, the money will be given to you first." ”

Lao Lin nodded, and found that it was far more than a thousand yuan, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Miss Fang, you eat first, and I'll go over and explain a few words to him." ”

Seeing that he bent down and got into the kitchen, Fang Ling walked back to his seat, and said in hindsight: "I won't be cheated, this kid can go, is it really that far?"
