The night was quiet. The wind blew the bamboo forest, and the rustling waves sounded. Wu Li lay lazily on the recliner in the backyard of the bamboo building, sinking and tilting. The "novice sword" of 100 refined steel is inserted not far away. The moonlight fell on it and refracted to the ground like a ribbon of frost.

He had just finished practicing his sword.

Wu Li twisted a five-spiced broad bean and chewed it crunching. I took another sip of plum wine, which was sour. Compared to high spirits or wines, he still likes plum wine the most.

Make up for sleep during the day, and sleep until 9 o'clock at night before waking up. After sleeping for most of the day, he is completely sleepy now, but he doesn't want to do anything else, he just wants to quietly enjoy the quiet time of the autumn night.

Today's opening was a great success! You Dao sent a text message to Wu Li, telling him that the banquet for the next seven weeks was booked. The deposit alone was 69,986 – and the deposit for each table was 9,998.

Today is the opening seat. It was not intended to be charged. But the group of guests was very happy and satisfied, and they bought it very much. Youdao agreed with Wu Li's charging model, and did not set prices for wine and food, relying on the "reward" of guests. Diners can give as much as they think it is worth, and scan the QR code on the napkin to be OK!

Diners also find this model good. Okay! This seat actually received more than 280,000 "tips". On average, there are more than 20,000 per person. The momentum is quite strong.

Good, great!

Suddenly, Wu Li sat up. Noise in the wind. Holding his breath and listening, he vaguely heard the words "don't run", "stop", "catch him", "hurry up, don't let him run". These voices are getting closer. I guess there is a group of people chasing someone.

Wu Li stood up and ran straight to the front yard. When I came to the door of "Tinglan Xiaozhu", I saw pieces of flashlights shaking violently in the bamboo forest. Suddenly, a thin figure rushing closer. Wu Li said loudly, "Who is it?" He turned on the two lanterns on the façade of "Tinglan Xiaozhu".

"Ahh It was a woman's scream of horror and despair. By the light of the red lantern, Wu Li saw a woman with an embarrassed appearance. Her face was full of fear. Wu Li also noticed that she had a DSLR camera around her neck.

The woman and Wu Li looked at each other for a moment. Wu Li asked again: "Who are you?" She didn't answer Wu Li at all, she turned around and ran to the left, and fell to the ground without running a few steps, her face slapped firmly on the ground, she choked up with a "woo", got up and continued to run.

Wu Li hurriedly said: "Don't go to that ......" Before he finished speaking, the person had already disappeared into the night. There's a wolf over there! Wu Li also found out later. He is brave and not afraid of wolves, otherwise he would have gone in disgrace.

followed by a large beam of flashlight, and Wu Li, who was stabbed, subconsciously covered it with his arm. A group of people rushed up, and immediately heard them babble and ask, "Have you seen a woman?" "Where is she talking quickly?"

"Quiet!" A loud shout drowned out the commotion, and a middle-aged man walked up. Wu Li recognized him, it was Cai Ruzi, the village director of Lake Village, who asked eagerly: "Have you seen a woman running here?" ”

Wu Li asked, "What happened?" Director Cai was sweating profusely, and said very quickly: "A thief came to the village and stole a lot of money from a family, we are arresting her, she fled into this bamboo forest, have you seen her?" ”

"Yes, she's a thief! Damn thief! ”

"She stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from my family! Tell me where she's going? ”

"My house was stolen too!"

The villagers of Hucun shouted, and asked Wu Li violently.

Wu Li blinked his eyes and said, "I only came out when I heard your voices, and I didn't see anyone coming." But it seems to have flickered a shadow," he pointed to his right, "I don't know if it's a human, maybe a jackal and a wild dog." ”

"Chase! Follow me! A group of people immediately shouted and rushed out to the right side of "Tinglan Xiaozhu".

Wu Li watched them leave, frowned, and then ran to the left. The villagers looked very wrong. If it was just that the property was stolen, it would be anger at best, but their expressions looked more like fear and eagerness. This is obviously not normal.

And the woman just now didn't look like a thief to him at all. Although she is very embarrassed and has a disheveled head, it can be vaguely seen that she is dressed and dressed properly, and her temperament is also fresh and artistic, which is by no means what a thief can have.

Although he was panicked just now, his expression was very resolute. Wu Li trusts his eyesight and intuition. Well, although it was only a glance, the person should look quite peugeot. The eyes are big and the face is round. Wu Li also didn't quite believe that such a woman would be a thief.

Tonight is the last quarter moon, and the moonlight is dim. But Wu Li has become more deaf and clear-sighted since he practiced "Three Yang Gong". Now the perception stat has reached 14 points. Although it is not very clear to see that at least there are no obstacles. After a while, Wu Li entered the barren mountains and forests.

After a while, he heard a wolf howl and cursed to be damned. But he didn't bring a sword, so Wu Li had to pick up a bamboo stick as a weapon. Then he heard the frightened screams of the woman. Wu Li should have come up with the "wolf walking footwork" of "divine shape", which is most suitable for performing in the mountains and dense forests.

"Brute!" Wu Li jumped over a high slope and saw a wild wolf rushing towards the woman in front of him, and immediately shouted to attract the wolf's attention. The woman fell to the ground, screaming "Don't come". I can only grab the dead leaves and dirt on the ground and smash it.

Wu Li's legs are staggered, using the "Yan Xing footwork", followed by the bamboo stick in his hand to break the wind and split, it is "the stars are hanging and the plains are wide". When this "sword" fell, it was like a meteor falling to the ground, with great momentum and no return. The bamboo stick hit the wolf on the head and fell to the ground with a whimper.

A wolf's roar suddenly came from the left and right rear. There are five wild wolves here. Wu Li seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and then turned around and swept out. "Yellow sand rolling desert"! The two night wolves were hit, and the moment they fell to the ground, they jumped up, hanging their tails away from Wu Li.

Wu Li shouted angrily with dantian anger: "Get out!" "The sound was like thunder. At this moment, the five wolves knew that Wu Li was not easy to deal with. He hissed a few times and ran away unwillingly. Wu Li looked at the woman. The woman tightly hugged the SLR camera in her arms and looked at Wu Li vigilantly.

Wu Li said: "Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. The villagers of Lake Village say you are a thief. I don't believe them, though. So I pointed them in the wrong direction. I knew there was a wolf here, so I chased after it. You calm down first. As he spoke, Wu Li threw away the bamboo stick in his hand.

The woman stood up and said, "I'm not a thief!" I am...... Who are you? Are you also from Lake Village? Wu Li said, "No." My name is Wu Li. I just opened a relaxing cottage in Lake Village. That's where you just looked. ”

Wu Li said, "What about you? Can you tell me who you are? I'm sure you're not a thief. But those villagers are chasing you together, and I'm curious what you've done. And you don't have to look at me like that. If I had been against you, I wouldn't have come to save you. ”

The woman was silent for a while, she still had some judgment, indeed as the other party said, if he hadn't beaten away the wolf just now, she would have died, and said, "I said I'm not a thief." My name is Wen Qing and I'm a journalist! I...... I lost my press card, but what I said was true! ”

Wu Li said: "Don't be nervous. I believe you. Wen Qing asked, "Can you lend me your hand?" Wu Li touched his pocket and said, "I'm sorry." I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring my phone. You can come back with me and get it. Wolves are always there here. Let's get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Wen Qing was so frightened that he looked into the dark mountains and said, "What about the villagers of Lake Village? They...... Can't let them see me, they won't let me go! Wu Li asked her, "What did you do?" Why are they chasing you? Wen Qing opened his mouth to speak, and then shook his head, unwilling to speak.

Wu Li was not reluctant. The two hurriedly returned to "Tinglan Xiaozhu", entered the house, and Wu Li took his mobile phone. Wen Qing said thank you and immediately dialed the phone. Wen Qing took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and dialed 110.

"Hey, 110, I'm Wen Qing, a reporter from the Jiangshi Evening News. I'm going to call the police. People in Lake Village abduct and sell women and children, and there is more than one family! I saw it with my own eyes, and I took it with my camera! Right! Come here, they'll destroy the evidence when it's too late!" Come on! ”

Hearing this, Wu Li didn't know what the police on the other end of the phone were reflecting, anyway, he was stunned. There are people in Lake Village who do such unconscionable things? Wu Li subconsciously didn't believe it.

It is said that one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people. The lake village is beautiful and beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant, so it is unlikely that the kind of person who has lost his conscience will come, right? But when I thought of the reaction of the villagers before, the fear, the eagerness that burned the eyebrows...... No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

Wu Li's disbelief in his heart was somewhat shaken.
