"Du Ruo, it's not good! Ah Shui is gone! ”

Early in the morning, Xu's mother's anxious voice woke up Du Ruo in her sleep. When Du Ruo heard the words "Ah Shui is gone", a spirit sat up from the bed. Hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and pushed open the door.

Obviously, Xu Ma has turned over the entire Shuiyue Nunnery. But Aunt Qiushui was still nowhere to be seen.

"Mother Xu, don't worry, maybe she's just going out for a walk. I'll be back in a while. ”

Du Ruo frowned, but still comforted Mother Xu first.

"It's impossible, Ah Shui will never go out without saying a word. Moreover, she didn't bring her disguise, so she definitely wouldn't leave Shuiyue Nunnery like this. ”

Disguised? It turned out that Aunt Qiushui had to bring a disguise when she went out. Is it to hide some identity? So, does Aunt Qiushui go out with Yi Rong every time?

"Let's go to her house." Du Ruo proposed. If it really disappears out of thin air, it will leave some clues behind.

Mother Xu also felt that it made sense. The two immediately went to Wu Qiushui's room to see what clues there were.

Everything in the house is not too inappropriate, and the faint incense is also used by Aunt Qiushui. One of the teapots and teacups on the table was taken out, and there was some shallow water in the teacups, and there were unfinished tea leaves in them.

The futon was lifted, and there was no sign of struggle or fighting. It seems that Aunt Qiushui got up and walked out the door by herself.

But there is a pair of embroidered shoes in front of the bed, is she not wearing shoes when she goes out?

Du Ruo quickly thought, could Aunt Qiushui be carried out by someone? Maybe it's a person who is very good at light work, and can do it quietly.

The door to the room was open when the two entered, but it had been securely closed. Either Aunt Qiushui is calm and relaxed, and she goes out by herself; Either someone kidnapped her, and she wasn't panicking.

The morning sun is shining in a little from outside. Du Ruo saw some dirt next to the threshold. The ground of Suigetsu-an is dry, and there is very little such moist clayey soil.

Du Ruo immediately had suspicions, and then squatted over to look. At this time, Xu Ma also noticed Du Ruo's movements.

"This dirt is definitely not our Suigetsuan!" What Xu Ma said was categorical. Of course, Du Ruo also agrees.

They can now basically confirm that an outsider broke into Shuiyue Nunnery and took Wu Qiushui with him.

"Red dirt. Isn't it only in the back mountains? Mother Xu suddenly thought and screamed.

That's right! Du Ruoyin went to the back mountain because of the Black Tiger Village, and the soil on the mountain was indeed red.

"Let's go, let's go to the back mountain to find out!" Mother Xu was anxious and had already taken the lead in standing up. Du Ruo immediately followed. Before going, she ran back to the room and brought the disguise that Aunt Qiushui had made for her.

The two searched in the back mountains, not letting go of any clues. The withered yellow leaves on the ground seem to be spread into a large carpet, hiding the footprints of pedestrians. The birds chirp in the forest, adding to the tranquility.

Mother Xu was so anxious that she couldn't find anything.

"Where did Ah Shui go?!"

Mother Xu looked left and right, and in the inaccessible back mountain forest, only the rustle of autumn leaves responded to her.

"Mother Xu, let's look carefully. The forest is full of shrubs, and the person who takes away my aunt, no matter how good his skills are, will definitely be scratched by these thorns and grasses. There must be something left. ”

Du Ruo patted Xu's mother on the arm and said to her with a firm look. Mother Xu's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what Du Ruo meant, and then looked for it more carefully.

Finally, in a bush with thorns, I saw a fragment of my clothes that had been scratched off.

"Mother Xu, go here." Du Ruo beckoned Xu Ma over.

She felt that the scenery on both sides of the road was somewhat familiar, and that the time she came down from the mountain, it was near here. She also remembers the cave with a hot spring. At that time, it is unknown who brought her and Zhang Wurong's grandfather and grandson to the cave.

Subconsciously follow the familiar route.

Then halfway up the mountain, see again the cave hidden behind a huge ancient tree. If it weren't for Du Ruo's previous visit, it would be extremely easy to ignore its existence from the outside. The branches of the ancient trees are luxuriant, and the branches are vigorous.

The two of them brushed aside the branches and leaves, and stepped in. Unexpectedly, it was not pitch black in the cave. There seems to be a light source coming from the depths of the cave. The sound of rushing water indicates that there is water flowing inside. A smell of sulfur came.

"There is such a place!" Mother Xu couldn't help but marvel when she saw that there was a hole in the cave.

Du Ruo accidentally entered this cave before, and found that there was a hot spring, and told Xu Ma to listen. Xu Ma feels that it is not simple here, maybe Wu Qiushui is here.

"Let's take a look!" Xu Ma thought that maybe she would be able to find Ah Shui soon, and she would go to the depths of the cave regardless of 3721.

Du Ruo can only keep up. It was quiet in the cave. As soon as she looked around, she did see footprints on the ground, some large and some small, and the smaller ones seemed to be the size of an adult woman's footprints.

If this footprint belonged to Aunt Qiushui, then there were other people with her. Most likely, it was her captor. If they were still in this cave, would there be any danger?

However, before Du Ruo could think about it, Mother Xu had already run inside. She had to keep up, for fear that something might happen.

There is a crack half a man's width at the top of the cave. The sunlight shone through the cracks, illuminating the cave clearly. A pool of clear, steaming hot springs appeared in front of the two.

And in the milky steam, a figure was about visible.

"Ah Shui!" Xu's mother

Wu Qiushui wore her white underwear and sat cross-legged in the water. Her expression was serene and serene, as if she had fallen asleep, and her white skin revealed a flush. Like a lotus flower in the water, it can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

Seeing that Wu Qiushui was motionless, Mother Xu was about to take a step forward, but Du Ruo hurriedly stopped her: "Mother Xu, something seems to be wrong." ”

Although Wu Qiushui's face was ruddy, his chest did not rise or fall.

Mo is not already, already dead! Du Ruo didn't dare to think so, but Wu Qiushui's lifeless body felt weird the more he looked at it in the dense water.

Mother Xu also saw that something was wrong, pushed away Du Ruo, who was blocked, and stepped to Wu Qiushui's side in three steps and two steps: "Ah Shui, what's wrong with you?" ”

She cautiously probed Wu Qiushui's snort, and her raised fingers stopped there for a long time, and then put it down tremblingly.

"Ah Shui!" A heart-rending shout moved Du Ruo. Mother Xu hugged Wu Qiushui in the water, like holding her own child. His eyes were full of reluctance and sorrow.

Although Du Ruo has not been in Shuiyue Nunnery for a long time, the relationship between Mother Xu and Aunt Qiushui is not ordinary. The two depend on each other, as if they have regarded each other as their relatives.

Du Ruo's eyes were sour, she hadn't seen her relatives for a long time. I miss it a little, and I feel sad about Wu Qiushui's death. Why don't you treat Suigetsu Nunnery as your home?

She secretly wiped away her tears. Suddenly, Xu's mother's body shook twice and fell into the water.

"Mama Xu! Be careful! ”
