Chapter Forty-Six: Missing and Mysterious

If you ask Nian Xiaojiao what her favorite scene is, it is sunset. The sunset is shining and the sky is full of colorful clouds, and the tired birds are returning to their nests, which is the most moving. People stop the hustle and bustle of the day, wash the lead, put down the camouflage, close the door, and come to the self-examination or relaxation, a peaceful and quiet.

Now, Nian Xiaojiao has no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. By the side of this deserted forest stream, she and Qing Gardenia carefully searched the corners and corners, not sparing every inch of land. They don't believe that people really disappear out of thin air, especially Zhao Ying, who is already profound, and it is not so easy to kidnap him.

"Sister, look over here." Qing Yu suddenly spoke, she found an inconspicuous low tree, squatted down, and urgently called for Xiaojiao.

Nian Xiaojiao, who was searching on the other side, walked quickly, her face was still a little pale, and she looked a little more pitiful than usual, but looking at the light pace, her spirit had recovered a lot. Squat down with Qing Yu and study the dwarf tree.

"Good guy, Zhao Ying is really a clever one." Nian Xiaojiao laughed unconsciously, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her words were brisk. A hanging heart suddenly gave birth to a lot, and there was a trace at least a chance to live.

The low tree was crookedly drawn a circle that was not too round, and a few strokes were scribbled inside. From the abstract pattern, only Ren from the Senluo Hall can barely see that it is probably the logo of the Senluo Palace.

The façade of every Senluo hall is engraved with this logo, and every Senluo branch hall is in a deserted place, and there are very few people in the world who know this picture. If it wasn't Zhao Ying, who could it be?

Nian Xiaojiao and Qing Yu returned to the temporary camp and informed that the people who went to fetch water led by Qingxin had disappeared, and for a while, everyone in the Hanyu faction was in a mess and had no idea.

"Alright! My sister is not dead yet, crying and crying like something! Yu Jie frowned coldly, her already small eyes glared, and a roar made those warblers forget to cry, and they all looked at Yu Jie in a daze.

The bolder and more clever one hurriedly asked, "Miss Yujie, what's next?" ”

Yu Jie didn't reach half a sentence, and stood there with her neck crossed, like a proud white swan, cold and indifferent. Here is the head of Nian Xiaojiao, which round of her fingers. However, Nian Xiaojiao kept looking at her coldly and stopped talking.

Yujie's expression became more and more anxious, and she turned her back and closed her eyes. Finally, he reined in his sharpness and looked at Nian Xiaojiao. After all, she couldn't survive Nian Xiaojiao, and her pure heart was her own sister, the only remaining relative in the world. Yujie lowered her head and hugged her fists and said: "Read~ Eh, boss!" I beg you to take me to find my sister together, if I don't see my sister safe, Yujie will not be at ease. Before, Yujie was ignorant, and she bumped into the boss, and hoped that the boss would forgive her sins. ”

Nian Xiaojiao glanced at Yu Jie with deep meaning, did not say that she cared about before, nor did she say that she accepted Yu Jie, but said calmly: "The others will go back to Hanyu Mountain first, and those who can take away Zhao Ying and Qingxin silently will not be ordinary characters, and it will not be of much help here." When this is over, I will bring my pure heart back to the Hanyu Sect safely. I don't have much other merit in reading Xiaojiao, but I do what I say. Yujie come with us. ”

"Yes, sir." Hanyu sent a group of people to pack their simple bags and continue westward along the avenue. There, it is the way home, and it is where Hanyu Mountain is located.

Looking at the team in the distance, Nian Xiaojiao was quite touched and realized the word responsibility for the first time. Although she has the name of the master of the Senluo Palace, there are a number of veterans in the Senluo Palace, and without her interference, it is working well, and she is in it, but it is just adding to the chaos.

And this Hanyu faction is different, it is like a toddler, and it needs to be guarded and guided with heart. From now on, the rise and fall of the Hanyu Sect is closely related to her. Nian Xiaojiao felt that life was more vivid for her. At least for the moment, her presence is meaningful, and the Hanyu Sect needs her.

The people of the Hanyu faction have disappeared, Nian Xiaojiao reined in her mind and cheered up her spirit. Turning back to the previous sign, where Zhao Ying and Qingxin disappeared, I don't know what variables are.

As a personal attendant, as soon as Nian Xiaojiao moved, Qing Yu followed. Yu Jie hurriedly pulled her skirt and trotted to follow.

If you look closely, there is an imprint every 100 steps. It's just that the previous imprint still has a slight shadow of the Senluo Hall logo, and after a distance from one end, it is just a rough circle. In the end, all that remained of the stump was a shallow cut.

"Zhao Ying's imprint is getting more and more hurried, and the situation is not optimistic." Nian Xiaojiao looked forward to the road, where there was still a dark forest, no different from the place she had passed when she came.

Night has come, and people often say: the night is dark and the wind is high, when people kill and set fires.

"Pick up the pace." Nian Xiaojiao said to Qing Yu and Yu Jie, she was a little anxious, all the way, her hair was messy, and the light blue Luo clothes flew in the wind, which only added a touch of compassion.

"Sister, don't worry, then Zhao Ying is not a vegetarian, and she will never be easy to get worse." Qing Yu looked at Nian Xiaojiao's more and more solemn face, her increasingly worried eyes, and comforted her.

"Maybe the unlucky one is the person who intercepted him, doesn't he like to play tricks on people as monkeys, maybe he just pretends to be intercepted and investigates the enemy's reality." Qing Yu added.

"yes, I forgot he still has this hobby. Good Qing Gardenia, it's really my sister's interpretation flower, why didn't I think of it? Nian Xiaojiao's tense heartstrings fell slightly, Yingying's smile appeared on her face, and the beauty was cured from poisoning, with a different kind of softness. smiled and embarrassed Mingyue.

It's just that I haven't seen everyone's safety with my own eyes, and I still can't feel at ease.

The night, the autumn is cool, and the dew is heavy.

Along the way, the tips of the noses of the three of them were already red from the cold, and the cold air penetrated through the thin autumn clothes to the bone marrow. Touching the cold arms, Nian Xiaojiao led the two to continue to investigate. For those who practice martial arts, their bodies and bones are always stronger than ordinary people. It's cold, but it's just a little cold hands and feet, and it can't hurt your body. It's just that Xiaojiao's residual poison has been first resolved, and I don't know if I can withstand the cold and cold.

Yujie also knew that the situation was serious, and along the way, she didn't say a word, but just followed closely.

The shadows formed three, and they flew forward along the imprint all the way, and finally came out of the forest.

Ahead, the grass is green, the river is flat, and the birds are uninhabited.

The three of them looked at each other, there were no trees, and there was no trace to be found.

"What about my sister?" Qing Yu looked around, not knowing where to go.

"Search the neighborhood to see if there are any other traces, stay safe." Nian Xiaojiao also felt a headache. The clue broke off at this point. Every minute is very important now, and every minute in the evening when they are found, the danger of Zhao Ying and Qingxin will be one more point. The three of them divided into three directions, carefully searching each place. provoked the grass to fall down, and the soil frogs croaked.

"Master, look here." Yu Jie shouted, in this cold night, it seemed unusually loud and crisp, and it sounded like fairy music under Nian Xiaojiao's directionlessness.

"What did you find?" Nian Xiaojiao asked aloud while trotting over to investigate. When he saw what Yujie had found, not only did he not feel relaxed, but he was even more worried.

It was a bloodstain, dried blood. It was even more permeable in the moonlight, dark red and slightly black, swaying in the wind on the tips of the withered grass, nodding his head again and again, laughing at them.

Following the direction of the bloodstains, there were some every few dozen steps, and I don't know how much blood was left. Nian Xiaojiao urged the two of them to speed up their pace and move forward quickly.

After about half an hour. The blood trail came to an abrupt end.

Ahead was a dilapidated hut with wooden stakes as pillars and thatch as the roof, and the lower part of the wooden door was rotten and unstable. The breeze is blowing, and the eaves have grass tails swaying with the wind, which is quite a natural and scattered artistic conception.

Hundreds of miles long, empty, this hut just stood abruptly in this barren grass, and close to the forest where Nian Xiaojiao and the others shuttled, she thought, this is probably the temporary residence of some hunter, when he returns late, it is better to settle down occasionally than to sleep in the open.

There was light shining through the cracks in the window, and Nian Xiaojiao looked tense and stood like a pine. Half of her beautiful face is in the light that shines through, and half is hidden in the night, which only adds to the mystery.

"Haha~ It's here, why don't you come in and talk about it?" There was a sound coming from inside the house, and the voice was mellow and deafening.

It's a loud voice, maybe it's a grumpy master, you have to deal with it, and you have to think about it.

Nian Xiaojiao protected her chest with one hand, and gently pushed the wooden door that would fall apart at any time with the other.

"Squeak!"

The old deadbolt of the wooden door is even older, and it has not yet been strengthened, but it is only lightly touched, revealing a gap, and the long and piercing sound has been remembered, and it has been transmitted into the distance in this darkness. The silent night is like this, and the sound is deafening.

Nian Xiaojiao frowned slightly, touching her petite ear, trying to drive away the discomfort caused by the squeak.

Light is something that cannot be turned off, and it flows out of the crack, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark night, and making people want to peek into the house even more.

Nian Xiaojiao's right hand went deep into the sleeve of her left hand, and she silently said in her heart: Okay, Ah Jin, I'm ready to get up and open the shelf, behave well, I can add food today.

There are many weapons in the Senluo Palace, but most of them are bold swords suitable for men, or darts and hidden needles suitable for killers. has never had a weapon, Nian Xiaojiao just held a long sword at random and used it before, but she has always disliked the heavy long sword, and it is cumbersome to walk the rivers and lakes.

Since fighting Ah Jin to grow, he can turn into a whip to resist the enemy, Nian Xiaojiao lost the heavy sword, how can Ah Jin take advantage of those dead things, Ah Jin can not only fight, but also warm, not like a cold blade.

With a kick out, the wooden door was kicked and shaken, and finally clanged, completely scrapped, and the dust flew up.

"Haha, little girl, she has a strong temperament. In front of me, this kind of behavior is too arrogant. "The loud voice opened as always—it exploded, and it shook people's eardrums.

Looking through the door, there were no less than ten people crowded into the small hut.

An old wooden table, a kerosene green lamp, and three people sit around the table.

A bed of straw mat and old cloth, six pretty eyes panicked, and three of them shrunk into a ball.

The rest of them stood scattered around, seemingly disorderly, but in fact, they guarded the people in the room in all directions, and guarded the doors and windows, so that there was no chance to take advantage of it.
