"Okay, don't fight, the village chief is already dead, it's better to find the child quickly." Fang Rui pulled Sun Xiao and signaled him not to talk to each other anymore, after all, they were just outsiders and had no conclusive evidence, so it would be better to say less.

Sun Xiaoxiao didn't dwell on it, rolled her eyes and pulled Su Su back. Li Lei and Fang Rui could only shake their heads helplessly, the eldest young master's temper was raised, and Sun Xiaoxiao was definitely not convinced.

Pulling Dongsheng out of the village chief's room, Fang Rui comforted: "You better go back and rest, this won't work!" ”

Dongsheng was still in a daze, and was helped back to his room by Fang Rui. Carefully helped Dongsheng to lie down, he was still staring ahead with empty eyes, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

Fang Rui saw a small clay pot and a pottery cup on the side of the bed, and there seemed to be tea left in the cup. Pouring out the leftover tea, Fang Rui took something similar to tea from the crockpot and made a cup of tea and handed it to Dong Sheng.

"This is soothing tea, I think it's better for you to drink some and get some sleep now."

Dongsheng took the teacup like a robot and drank it all, then lay down on the bed upside down, closed his eyes without saying a word, and didn't know if he was asleep?

Fang Rui was not a person who was good at comforting others, and when he saw Dong Sheng lying down and not speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and left.

When he walked out of Dongsheng's room, he met Li Lei, he looked preoccupied, hesitated for a while before asking, "Fang Rui, what if the baby can't be found?" Tonight is the Midyear Festival, it is our chance to leave, if you miss it, you will have to wait another year! ”

"You really can't wait, it's too weird here. But.... Entrusted by others but unable to do it, and too... Fang Rui sighed, more importantly, he hadn't found the book of life until now, and today was the deadline. Although I don't know how terrible the consequences of not being able to recover the life book in seven days are, I shuddered just thinking that if I couldn't complete the task in seven days, I would be punished by Bai Jingjing.

Leave on time, you can't go back if you don't find the book of life.

Stay, you are still confused about the whereabouts of the Book of Destiny.

It's really hard, and what you do seems to be a dead end! Fang Rui grabbed a handful of his hair, and his head hurt!

"Anyway, let's help find the baby now." Fang Rui said, take this opportunity to search the village thoroughly, maybe you will find some clues.

The whole village mobilized to search for the whereabouts of the baby, and the village itself was not very large, and the whole village had been searched without much effort, but there was still no trace of the baby. What made Fang Rui even more frustrated was that there was no sign of the life book.

"There's still a place I haven't searched!" Li Lei said to the camel.

"Where?" The camel asked.

"The cave of the Three-Eyed Statue." Li Lei replied, the camel didn't expect a person from another village to know the three-eyed stone statue, and he was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

The group entered the cave with torches, but found nothing, nothing but the three-eyed statue. Could it be that the baby flew out of the village and disappeared as if it had wings? Fang Rui didn't give up, he didn't believe in this kind of drama that disappeared out of thin air. Perhaps, there will be some secret passages? Fang Rui remembered the secret passage that Dongsheng had taken him through before, and when everyone was not paying attention, he slipped to the storage house behind the village chief's stone house.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, although the passage in the storage room is still the winter food from before, Fang Rui always feels as if someone has moved it. Entering the passage, Fang Rui once again returned to the cave of the Three-Eyed Stone Statue, at this time, the villagers had already returned, and there were only a few oil lamps in the cave that flickered faintly.

The Three-Eyed Stone Statue still stands there, watching it all coldly. Fang Rui walked around to the back of the stone statue, where was a darker area, and pushed the surrounding rock walls, there was no so-called secret door or passage.

"It's not really going to fly away, is it?" Fang Rui scratched his head, why did a baby disappear? Just as he was thinking, Fang Rui stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground, and when he looked down, it turned out that he had tripped over the mud. The soil on this ground seemed to be relatively soft, because Fang Rui was constantly groping around here just now before the soil seemed to be an inconspicuous small mound. Fang Rui squatted down and touched the soil, it was a little damp, maybe it was the perennial cold and damp relationship in the cave.

Returning to the village chief's stone house, as soon as he walked to the door of Dongsheng's house, an old woman like a dwarf came over with a small clay pot and wanted to push the door in.

"Wait a minute!" Fang Rui stopped the old woman, "Dong Sheng drank some soothing tea just now and fell asleep. ”

The old dwarf woman hurriedly replied softly, "I just brought him the freshly made soothing tea." ”

"He drinks every night? This tea works so well? It's much better than the mess of sleep-soothing things we have outside! Fang Rui praised.

"Hey, Dongsheng is a child who is so thoughtful that he can't sleep at night if he doesn't drink. He used to use one can a week, but he didn't come to me to pick it up this week, so I sent it to him! The old dwarf woman replied.

"Oh, that's hard work." After Fang Rui finished speaking, he left the door of Dongsheng's room, and the dwarf old woman gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Fang Rui, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly stopped, he glanced back at Dong Sheng's door, and recalled that when he made tea for Dong Sheng just now, there were obviously two-thirds of the tea leaves in the small crockpot next to the bed. If, according to the old dwarf woman, Dongsheng's habit is to drink one can a week, then the amount of tea that Dongsheng drinks this week seems to be less.

For Fang Rui, who has also had insomnia for a while, he deeply understands the pain of not being able to sleep, and also understands how important sleep aids are for insomniacs, and even have a certain dependence. According to the mother-in-law, Dongsheng should also have a bad sleep, so why didn't he suddenly drink soothing tea before going to bed to fall asleep?

Before, Dong Sheng said that he slept very hard after drinking the tranquilizing tea last night and didn't hear anything, but now, Fang Rui wondered if Dong Sheng had drunk it? Thinking of this, Fang Rui turned back and quietly came to the door of Dongsheng's room.

"Dongsheng, you haven't finished the tea you were given last time? Can you sleep without drinking now? From the room came the concerned question of the dwarf woman.

"Hmmm... Sometimes it doesn't need anymore! "Dongsheng has woken up.

"That's great, but I'd better put this jar here for you first, you have to rest more and take care of your body, don't think too much about the village chief's affairs." The old dwarf woman said a few more words of comfort, and then stood up and took her leave.

As soon as Fang Rui heard the movement inside, he immediately dodged and hid in the corner of the corridor, waiting for the dwarf old woman to leave Fang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that eavesdropping on others was not his forte. After settling down, as soon as he poked his head out of the corner, he saw the camel coming over, and Fang Rui was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his body again. Although it was only a glimpse, Fang Rui felt that the expression on the camel's face seemed to be very serious, and there was a slight uncontrollable anger. The curious Fang Rui thought for a while, and finally came to the door of the winter room again, and there was a conversation between the camel and the winter born inside.

"Dongsheng, I was in the kitchen just now and wanted to cook you lunch... Found... I found that there were a lot fewer sweet potatoes, and there were still a lot of them when I brought them to you last time. ”

"Ahh I ate it with the village chief! ”

"I don't know how many sweet potatoes you and the village chief eat each week? Other foods were also noticeably less than usual. “

"Recently I have a good appetite and have eaten more."

"Actually... There's still a place that hasn't been searched.,Isn't it.。。。 Are you hiding? ”

"No, Uncle Camel, you're thinking too much."

"Really... Is that the case? Then now you and I go there to see if the child is there. ”

"Where to look? What are you talking about? ”

"I can't say anything just now because there are outsiders. The treasure room in the cave, I haven't seen it yet. ”

"The kids won't be there!"

"You haven't been there, how do you know if you haven't!"

"That room hasn't been opened in years, how could it be there?"

"How do you know if you don't go in and see? Besides, the child can't just be gone, he must still be in the village! If you don't want to, I'll go on my own now! ”

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you! I'll go with you! ”

When Fang Rui heard this, he hurriedly hid again, and as soon as he hid, he heard Dongsheng and the camel walking out of the room towards the village chief's room, Fang Rui lowered his head and thought about it, and then hurriedly walked out and entered the cave through the secret passage of the storage house.

After quietly coming to the cave, Fang Rui hid in the dark and saw the camel and Dongsheng in front of him, Dongsheng was holding an oil lamp in his hand, and the camel was holding a shovel in his hand.

After the two of them went around to the stone statue, Fang Rui could only cautiously take a few more steps, and finally found a suitable position to see the stone statue, and the camel was digging down.

Dongsheng on the side couldn't help but complain: "Uncle Camel, do you know how many years this treasure room has not been opened?" ”

"Yes." The camel said this, but the movement of shoveling soil in his hand did not stop, "Even if there is only the slightest hope, I will try, it is my baby!" ”

Dongsheng stopped talking, and could only sigh.

After digging for a while, the movement of the camel's hand stopped, and he put down the shovel, and the camel squatted down and pulled up a door from the ground, and the two of them rushed in.

Fang Rui hurriedly stepped forward and touched the entrance, and sure enough, there was a stone staircase going down. After hesitating for a moment, Fang Rui followed and entered a deeper secret passage.
