Zhan Li's disappearance is a very serious matter.

Zhan Qi quickly calmed down, let go of Zhan Ren's collar, turned his head and asked Du Xiaomeng: "Miss Du, you arrived here before us, have you ever seen my little sister?" ”

"Nope." Du Xiaomeng shook her head affirmatively.

Zhan Qi glanced at Zhan Ren and said, "Take me to the place where you and your little sister are separated." ”

"Good!" Zhan Ren hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way.

Du Xiaomeng and Qiu Sha followed together, but Zhan Yi stopped Qiu Sha and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, we are all leaving, if the little sister comes here to gather as she said before, she will be in a hurry if she can't see us." Why don't you stay here and wait? ”

Qiu Sha felt that what Zhan Yi said was also reasonable, and thought that she couldn't help much if she went, so she agreed.

Leaving Qiusha in place, Du Xiaomeng and Zhan Yi hurriedly caught up with the footsteps of the two in front. Zhan Ren led everyone out of the temple gate, walked along the road to the top of the mountain for a while, and turned into a path on the side of the road.

Zhan Qi stopped Zhan Ren suspiciously: "Wait! Didn't you and your little sister go to the fairy spring on the top of the mountain? How did you get here? ”

Zhan Ren turned around and said, "It takes at least two hours to go back and forth to the Immortal Spring, and some people who have walked this path tell us that it only takes one hour to walk this way to and from the Immortal Spring." In order to fill the spring water back quickly, my little sister and I decided to go up to the top of the mountain from here. ”

After speaking, Zhan Ren brushed aside the branches that stood in the way, and led the way to the depths of the barren path.

After walking for a while, and came to the front of the two forked roads, Zhan Ren stood still and said: "When we walked here, I heard a sound behind me and looked back, and when I turned around, my little sister was gone." Others told us that the road on the left leads to the fairy spring, and I thought that the little sister should have turned into the left road, so I chased it from the left, but I walked all the way to the fairy spring and there was no trace of the little sister. ”

Zhan Yi stepped forward from behind and stood on the forked road, glanced left and right, and said, "Since there are two roads, why don't we go separately to find the little sister." The second brother followed the road he had just walked to look for it again, and the eldest brother and Miss Du went to the right side of the road to find it, and I went back to the temple to call the others to find the younger sister together. What do you think, big brother and second brother? ”

Zhan Qi had no objection to this proposal, and said, "Okay, just do as you say." We'll leave a mark along the road, and if anyone finds her first, we'll have someone notify them right away. ”

Zhan Ren and Zhan Yi nodded vigorously together.

"Let's go." Zhan Qi said to Du Xiaomeng, turned around and strode into the road on the right.

Du Xiaomeng followed, and the two brothers Zhan Ren and Zhan Yi also acted separately.

After a while, the figures of Zhan Qi and Du Xiaomeng completely disappeared into the shadows of the trees and the wild grass, and Zhan Ren, who had originally gone to the left to find someone, walked out of the path, turned around and walked back. walked out of the trail and returned to the main road, Zhan Yi, who was supposed to go back to the temple to find someone, stood on the side of the road waiting for him, and next to Zhan Yi, there was still a "missing" Zhan Li. Seeing Zhan Ren coming out of the path, intact, she beckoned to Zhan Ren and shouted, "This way!" This way! ”

Walking together, the three brothers and sisters of the Zhan family looked at each other and smiled, and Zhan Li asked excitedly: "Second brother, have the eldest brother and Sister Du walked into the road on the right?" ”

Zhan Ren smiled happily and said, "I watched them walk in and came back." ”

Zhan Yi smiled treacherously and continued: "The road up the mountain on the right, the more you go inside, the more remote and difficult it becomes, and there are many forks along the way, as long as you accidentally take the wrong road, the eldest brother and Miss Du will not be able to walk out in three or two hours." If they can't get out before dark, they have to spend the night in the mountains, and the lonely men and widows are alone in the barren mountains and mountains, and they will inevitably support each other and rely on each other. After such a night, the relationship between the eldest brother and Miss Du will definitely grow by leaps and bounds! ”

"That's good!" Zhan Ren couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and clapped his hands, as long as the relationship between his eldest brother and Du Xiaomeng was settled, he would be able to marry the girl he liked!

After being excited for a while, Zhan Ren calmed down and asked uneasily: "Third brother, what you said sounds very good, but can you ensure that the eldest brother and Miss Du will go the wrong way?" If they don't go the wrong way and come out before dark, then our plan isn't it a bamboo basket to have a good time? ”

Zhan Yi showed an unfathomable expression, glanced at Zhan Li, and then said, "Second brother, don't worry, I have made a small trap and let the eldest brother and Miss Du take the initiative to jump in." ”

Zhan Li echoed and said, "That's right, that's right! I made that little trap myself! ”

Zhan Ren said happily: "That's good! We will spend the night in the temple tonight, waiting for the good news from the eldest brother! ”

The three siblings happily walked back. After walking a few steps, Zhan Li stopped and asked a little uneasily: "Third brother, we won't have a problem calculating Big Brother and Miss Du like this, right?" What if they really get lost in the mountains and can't get out? The road on the mountain is very difficult to walk, what if Sister Du is injured? ”

Without waiting for Zhan Yi to come back, Zhan Ren preemptively said, "Stupid little sister, don't you know what your eldest brother does?" The eldest brother is a veteran of the battlefield for many years, and he has led his soldiers to fight several big battles with the enemy in the endless mountains that cannot be walked for several days, and now such a mountain is like a small sand dune in the eyes of the eldest brother. With the eldest brother by her side, how could Miss Du be injured? Little sister, you're too worried! ”

Hearing the third brother say this, Zhan Li was relieved. She stuck out her tongue mischievously and said with a smile: "Then let's wait for the good news of the eldest brother with peace of mind." ”

Zhan Yi rolled his eyes and said, "In order to avoid extraneous branches, after we return to the temple, we must first send my sister-in-law back to the General's Mansion." ”

"It's a must!" Zhan Ren and Zhan Li nodded together very seriously and said.

On the other side, the two parties who didn't know that they had been calculated were anxiously walking on the road to find the missing Zhan Li.

The road on the right, as Zhan Yi said, is really as Zhan Yi said, the more you go inside, the more remote and difficult it becomes, even if Zhan Qi opens the way in front, Du Xiaomeng's skirt is still hooked by thorns I don't know how many times. When she walked to the steep place, she had to be pulled by Zhan Qi to walk up.

The two struggled forward, and after walking for about half an hour, three divergent roads appeared in front of them.

Zhan Qi stood in front of the fork in the road and watched, and after watching for a while, he walked quickly into the middle of the road, brushed aside the grass and picked up a shoe.

Du Xiaomeng stepped forward and saw that it was a women's embroidered shoe, which was smaller than that worn by adult women. She couldn't help but exclaim: "These shoes are the pair that Xiao Yu is wearing today!" ”

Zhan Qi looked at her face and wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Du Xiaomeng nodded: "Definitely!" I recognize the pattern on the shoe. The shoes were embroidered with red pomegranate flowers, because the color was bright and dazzling, and she had deliberately looked at Zhan Li's feet a few more times before.

Having received a positive answer, Zhan Qi chose the middle path without hesitation and continued to look forward.
