Hope is good, but reality is always cruel.

It was probably Murphy's Law that once again showed his magic, when Li Zhishi and the two returned home, they found that there was no room in the courtyard of the house at night.

"There is no temperature on the bench, there is still a little residual heat on the stove, and it seems that the time to leave is about half an hour." Li Zhishi looked around with a grim expression.

As for Zhuzhu, at this moment, he was stunned in the courtyard clenching his fists and muttering in his mouth.

"If only I had been persuaded."

"It's me who is so stupid to trust people so easily...... I, I want this brain to be of use! ”

"Well, the brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't ......" Just as he wanted to kick on the stone bench, Li Zhishi sighed inwardly and pulled him, "It's useless to be annoyed now, they will definitely come to inform if they arrest someone." But then we really fell into their hands. ”

Zhuan Zhu suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and said, "Is there a way for the virtuous brother?" ”

Li Zhishi nodded and said, "I did find something, but ......"

"But what?" Zhuan Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, obviously the disappearance of his family made him completely confused at the moment.

"But you have to calm down from now on, and any action after that will be carried out according to what I say." Li Zhishi's tone was serious, the violent walk along the way just now had alarmed many people, and he was directly left behind, "There are only two of us now, we must act purposefully, and don't give others a chance to break through, Brother Zhuan, you have lost your judgment now, so you have to listen to me in the future." ”

"I can't fucking calm down!" Even if he was pulled by Li Zhishi, Zhuan Zhu still kicked down the stone bench standing on the ground, "It's not that your family is missing, of course you don't think it matters!" But that's my wife, my sister! My family who lives with each other! ”

This roar exploded in the dark night, and Li Zhishi silently let go of his hand, he understood the madness of the man in front of him at the moment, but it was precisely because of understanding that he felt that the burden on his body was heavier at the moment.

It's not just a task, indeed, this is a driving force, and if he can't complete this task, he will most likely have to die here, never go back, never see those lights again, and never see that shadow again. But at this moment, he is facing the future of a family, and the safety of the little girl who is always pestering himself to learn to cook!

He did all this, then he has to be responsible for continuing to do it, this is a responsibility, and it is also a man's responsibility!

After a few breaths, Li Zhishi stood in front of Zhuan Zhu again, as if the other party's blame just now did not make him dissatisfied, and his expression was still so calm and solemn as he repeated what he had just said.

“…… Big brother, can you do it? ”

"Everything...... Just by the orders of the virtuous brother. Glancing at Li Zhishi, Zhuzhu, who had barely calmed down, held back a few words from his mouth, and then nodded heavily.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Li Zhishi pursed his lips, "So...... Good...... I found ...... at home"

Soon the two set off from their home and chased all the way to the river where the fence used to do laundry. When Li Zhishi found that one of the clothes he had changed into was missing, he probably knew where the fence had gone. After several searches by the river, I found behind a rock the bamboo basket used to hold clothes and a few clothes scattered in the mud.

However, there is no figure.

"This girl, what kind of clothes do you come out to wash at night!" Zhuan Zhu shouted angrily, but he didn't notice that Li Zhishi, who was beside him, had gone around to the other side of the boulder and squatted down.

At this time, the moon is full overhead, and it seems to be the middle of the month, so it is not surprising. Under the moonlight, Li Zhishi could vaguely see several obviously man-made scratches on the middle and lower parts of the stone.

"Specialized big brother, look here."

Zhuan Zhu came back to his senses by this shout, and when he looked around, he was suddenly a little excited.

"This, this is the method of darkness that Master passed on to us!"

"The Law of the Shadows? Master? We? Li Zhishi's eyes lit up.

"Ahem, in fact, your sister-in-law and I are brothers and sisters, and we are from the same school. Zhuan Zhu touched the back of his head and said, "This method of darkness was taught to us by the master for communication, and only me and your sister-in-law know!" ”

"Oh? It turns out that Zhuzhu still has such an identity. Li Zhishi was surprised in his heart, but he came back to his senses in an instant.

"This mark is...... Well, over here! Zhuan Zhu squatted down and looked at it carefully, then stood up abruptly and was about to run to the side, but he thought of something just a few steps after raising his legs, and stopped and looked at Li Zhishi with some embarrassment.

He had just promised Li Zhishi that all his actions would be commanded, but now he disobeyed it in less than a few breaths, and he was somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing this expression, Li Zhishi smiled dumbly, "Okay, big brother, let's go, and then it's up to you to lead the way." ”

……

Even from the perspective of Li Zhishi's later generations, the dark traces left by the Jin Mei clan are considered to be of a professional level, and the distance between each dark trace is covered by the information on it almost accurately, and it didn't take long for the two of them to be taken up the mountain by this dark trace, and after detouring several ravines, they really found a village with fire in the middle of the mountain.

"Their master is a strange person." Li Zhishi felt that he might have caught the clues of a big man, but this was not the time to talk about this, the dark traces left by the Jinmei clan lost their follow-up halfway through this mountain road, if it weren't for the light of the fire at night, they probably wouldn't have been able to find this place.

Now that most of the fence has been caught, he originally thought that the Jinmei clan was tracking and lurking here, but now it seems that he is only afraid that he has lost his freedom and has been captured, otherwise he will not even be half-completed by the last shadow.

"We'll have to figure out how to sneak in." Li Zhishi's eyes narrowed, there was only one entrance to the village in front of him, which was almost the size of a village, but after observation, it seemed that the security was not very strict, and there were no other people patrolling at the door except for two people.

"Also, in this spring and autumn period, bandits are rampant, and all countries have no heart to care, plus this cottage is hidden in the vast mountains, except for those mountain birds and beasts, there is nothing to be guarded against."

Thinking of this, Li Zhishi turned his head sideways to look at Zhuan Zhu, and said, "Brother Zhuzhu, I will tempt you in a while, you will act when you see the opportunity, but you must leave a living mouth." ”

"Okay, I understand, Brother Xian, be careful." Zhuan Zhu nodded.

Li Zhishi, who received the reply, also nodded, then looked left and right, hunched his back and ran into the woods and bushes.

And in his hand, a short sword that looked dull in the moonlight finally showed its edge at this moment!

Li Zhishi, who was born as an orphan, still has some opinions about the hidden figure, and even studied this knowledge specifically, just to have a little more advantage when he is isolated in a fight, and to be one step faster than others when he grabs food utensils. Orphans, if they don't learn some skills, they would have starved to death in the garbage heap of society.

And at this moment, these skills, coupled with the [Primary Concealment] given by the [Fish Intestine Sword], are the hole cards that he confidently acts as bait!

In the darkness of the night, the undercurrent began to surge.
