Chapter Forty-Nine: Bamboo Forest in Distress

The night wind struck, and two black shadows quietly came out of Wang Jifei's old house and quickly came to the bamboo forest of the old village chief's house.

Standing on the tall tree in the bamboo forest, Wang Jifei and Yan Zhutou carefully observed the two houses in the clearing. The two houses were erected on the site of the old chief's former room. It was the former living room and Ye Mei's bedroom.

Looking at the dark room, the two looked at each other, turned over and jumped off the tree trunk, and came to the front of the house.

In the hall is a simple earthen stove, a table, and several wooden benches. Entering the inner room, Wang Jifei took a look and found that this room was divided into two small rooms inside and outside, one for men and one for women.

After rummaging for about ten minutes, Wang Jifei and the two returned to the hall. The bedroom was very simple, just two beds and some clothes, and no valuable clues were found.

"Uncle Yan, what to do, there is no clue at all. ”

"It's normal that there are no clues, they've been in town for days. Yan Zhutou looked at the hall and asked, "Ah Fei, why do I feel that this dining room is a little strange? ”

Hearing what Yan Zhutou said, Wang Jifei hurriedly gathered his mind and looked at it carefully.

At first glance, the house is simple to build, and the walls are built on top of the old walls. The stove is also a few large stones with some soil, which is simply built out......

Glancing around, Wang Jifei also felt a little strange. I always felt that something was missing in this kitchen.

Ginger is still old and spicy. While Wang Jifei was thinking hard, Yan Zhutou suddenly extinguished the torch in his hand and reminded softly: "Ah Fei, be careful." You see the water in the water tank, it is clean, and the rice in the rice tank is not confiscated. And these spices, just like that, are here. Is this what it looks like to go out of the house?"

Hearing this, Wang Jifei suddenly realized that in addition to the lack of vegetables, this kitchen really looks like someone is using it every day.

The two of them, who hurriedly left the house, came to the big tree again. Looking at the two houses standing alone in the clearing in the forest, Wang Jifei slowly moved his eyes to the ruins next to him.

It is the firewood house of the former village chief's house, and it is also the entrance to the cellar. He thought of a possibility.

"Uncle Yan, there is a cellar there, which is where Ye Lan and their old village chief are locked up. Not many people know about it......"

"You mean, Ye Lan and they are back, what about these two brothers and sisters......

"Ye Mei'er, I don't know, Ye Lan's disguise technique is very exquisite. Before pretending to be the old village chief, no one found out for months. ”

"You mean, these two siblings are actually Ye sisters. It's a possibility. ”

"Let's go to the cellar and see. ”

Coming to the open space again, Wang Jifei found the ventilated place of the cellar with ease, stretched out his hand, felt the faint air current, and nodded at Yan Zhutou.

Yan Zhutou looked around, then pointed at Wang Jifei, made a downward movement, and then dived into the bamboo forest not far away to control the wind for him.

came to the approximate location of the cellar hole, and after a little fumbling, Wang Jifei found the exact location. Removing the hidden branches and weeds, a charred plank was revealed, the same one from the original cellar.

Gently lifting the plank, Wang Jifei carefully drilled in.

There was no one, Wang Jifei lit the torch.

The small cellar was very clean, with a few books piled up on a small table, a map spread out in the middle, and a bunk on the floor in the middle, and a few young men's and women's clothes and some bottles and cans in the cage next to it.

Smelling the faint scent of rouge in the air, Wang Jifei lifted the quilt and found a few long green threads on the pillow.

Sure enough, Wang Jifei was already seven points sure that the two brothers and sisters were the Ye sisters.

When he returned to the table outside, he saw that Wang Jifei also had this map, which was exactly what he got from Ye Lan's room last time. There are a lot of dots and lines drawn on this map, and the closer you get to Shimen Town, the denser the markings become. After reading for a while, Wang Jifei slowly flipped through the books, which were rosters and account books. After a cursory look, he saw the name of the Wu Family Inn in many places on it.

Then Wang Jifei took out a pen and paper and drew a rough map against it.

As he was drawing, Wang Jifei suddenly heard a rapid owl call from Yan Zhutou.

It's not good, they are back, Wang Jifei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly extinguished the torch, pulled out his long sword, and made a gesture to rush out.

After two steps, he turned back sharply, and tucked the book and map into his arms. He quickly ran inside, picked up a quilt, and lit it with fire.

Holding the burning quilt, Wang Jifei stood guard at the stairs at the entrance of the cave, and saw two short figures hurrying in. Wang Jifei threw out the quilt and threw it at the two women. While they were dodging, he rushed up the steps of the exit, turned sharply, and fired three arrows in a row.

Regardless of whether he shot or not, Wang Jifei dodged out of the hole and kicked the wooden board to seal the hole.
