Chapter 113: Fifth Brother Zhang

As she spoke, the woman's tears flowed down again like beads of broken thread.

Apparently she didn't finish her words, "unless he's dead......

Li Yanzhi's brows furrowed.

At this time, the gentle and amiable woman spoke again, and said, "You are a friend of the fifth brother, I hope that if you have time, please help me find the fifth brother." Even if he ...... I want to see his people too......"

As she spoke, the woman's tears fell again, and she looked so haggard and helpless. She still didn't finish her words, but Li Yanzhi understood what she meant - even if he died, I would see his people, and I would see people dead and corpses......

She was right, he and Fifth Brother Zhang were indeed friends, so in the face of the woman's request, he nodded. His friends are gone, and Li Yanzhi will definitely do his best to find them.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that in just a short period of time, he already had two friends missing.

Is this a coincidence, or something else?

Why did they disappear?

Where did they go?

......

Li Yanzhi's heart was full of doubts.

This doubt is not only in his heart, but also in the heart of the little girl who has not spoken since he came here, but only quietly looks at the gentle woman with sympathetic eyes.

So accompanied by the little girl, Li Yanzhi chatted with the gentle woman in detail about the disappearance of Fifth Brother Zhang.

The gentle woman told in detail what Fifth Brother Zhang had done, who he had dealt with, and where he had been in the past few days. For fear of missing some key details, he couldn't find her husband, so she said it very carefully.

But after listening, Li Yanzhi and the little girl sighed in their hearts-

Although the gentle woman is detailed, it has nothing to do with the inexplicable disappearance of Fifth Brother Zhang.

In the past few days, Fifth Brother Zhang's situation is normal, he got up on time in the morning, squeezed the beans that had been soaked early last night into fragrant and delicious soy milk, kneaded the dough and woke up, heated the oil pot, and prepared for the upcoming breakfast time.

At the end of the day, customers would come to the restaurant to eat one after another, and at this time, his wife had already woken up and began to prepare with him, greeting customers.

A little later, when everyone gets up, there will be a long queue behind the door, and it will take nearly two hours to be busy before you are busy and relaxed.

At this time, Fifth Brother Zhang would comfortably drink two cups of wine, fill a large bowl full of fragrant soy milk, and eat the delicious meals made by his wife.

At noon, he would squint for a while to catch up on some sleep for waking up too early.

In the afternoon, he would play with his son for a while, talk to his wife for a while, and then when it was time to leave, he would set off to the flour shop and grain store two streets away to buy some flour, beans, and oil for the next day.

After coming back, I had dinner and lit a small oil lamp, which was the hot kang head for my wife and children, and the family slept on the warm and lively kang, although it was simple but warm, and began to sleep.

In the past few days, no, for more than ten years, Fifth Brother Zhang has been like this.

Every day is like pinching a clockwork, and this is repeated.

It's a little monotonous, but it's warm and happy.

The gentle woman thought that their days would be repeated day after day, but she never expected that two days ago it would completely change.

In the morning, when she woke up as usual, the woman did not see the long queue outside the window, and walked into the shop in full dress, let alone her husband.

Fifth Brother Zhang disappeared for two days, and she searched around for two days like a demon.

It's just that Fifth Brother Zhang's usual places are really limited, and the woman really can't think of where her husband can go except for her home, the store, the flour shop, and the grain and oil store across the two streets.

So she couldn't do anything else but wash her face with tears.

Until she met Li Yanzhi.

Since he had decided to help find Fifth Brother Zhang, he naturally wouldn't care.

So under the guidance of the woman, he came to Fifth Brother Zhang's room.

After taking a closer look at the place where Fifth Brother Zhang had stayed, Li Yanzhi fell into silence, holding a flour bag in his hand.

Don't say that the gentle woman, even the little girl, doesn't know what is so special about this bag.

Because of the flour, when you touch the bag, a very thick powder will immediately fly.

It was no different from the other thirty-five flour bags in the shop.

The little girl and the woman used to avoid the bag as much as possible, for fear that the powder would get on their bodies and stain their clothes.

Looking at his expression, it didn't look like he had found any clues. He took this bag, maybe just because it was something that Fifth Brother Zhang had used, and he was entangled in his heart, so he took it casually.

After carefully looking at Li Yanzhi, the little girl thought in her heart.

She didn't urge Li Yanzhi to find Senior Sister Gu with her, because no one understood the painful feeling of her friend's disappearance better than her.

In the three days that Senior Sister Gu was missing, in despair, she also took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Senior Sister Gu used on weekdays, held it in the palm of her hand, and watched it quietly.

Only then will she feel that her friend is still there and not missing.

So she can understand Li Yanzhi's mood at this time, and she can also understand the reason why he made this move.

It's just that what she doesn't realize is that she is not Li Yanzhi, and Li Yanzhi is not her.

Li Yanzhi held the flour bag, not to see things and think about people, but to find a clue on it, to be precise, he found a taste.

A smell that is almost unsmellable, and can only be smelled by a nose like Li Yanzhi that is sharper than a dog's nose.

This is not the first time he has smelled this smell, and now it is the second time he has smelled it.

The first time was with Xuanyangzi - the letter that Xuanyangzi showed him.

That's right, it's the smell of anthem.

Before Xuanyangzi was injured, he had received a letter from his disciple of his own sect, which was contaminated with the juice of anthemic plants, and when he arrived at the appointed time and went to the agreed place, he smelled the smell of Linglong Stone again.

No flowers and grasses, exquisite stones, together with each other, is the best*, even the cultivation of the profoundness to Xuanyangzi can be fascinated.

It's just that what Li Yanzhi didn't expect was why Fifth Brother Zhang's home would also have the smell of no flowers.

Could it be that like what happened to Xuanyangzi, Fifth Brother Zhang was also stunned with no flowers and exquisite stones, and then taken away?

Why did you take Fifth Brother Zhang away? He was just an honest man who was safe and steady and did his duty, and he was also an ordinary person.

Li Yanzhi couldn't figure out this problem, so he kept holding the flour bag in a daze, making the little girl think that he was looking at things and thinking about people.

Is it the same person who plotted against Xuanyangzi and kidnapped Fifth Brother Zhang? Or is it the same group of people?

Xuanyangzi was injured by someone with a heavy hand, and a silver needle was pierced into his body in a very special way, but fortunately, Xuanyangzi was killed unknowingly.

This person is extremely powerful, both in terms of scheming and means.

Li Yanzhi really couldn't figure out why such a person would make a move on an honest Fifth Brother Zhang.

I thought that the attack on Xuanyangzi was related to the traitors who were hiding inside the Yunyin Gate and colluding with the demon clan, but why did it involve Fifth Brother Zhang?

Gu Meimei's disappearance, is it also related to this wave of people?
