Chapter 20: The Secret of the Man in Black

I stared unblinkingly at the black-clothed man and the black bear wriggling under the tree trunk, and I sweated in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in the mind is in the battle between heaven and man, constantly weighing the pros and cons, when the idea of slipping down to save him prevails, a voice will jump out and scold: What do you do to save him, a pair of fists and two legs?

My heart was almost out of my throat, and I clenched my fists and closed my eyes as I heard a dull sound from the ground as the black bear's paws were about to cut off a piece of skin from the black man's calf in the blink of an eye. I was startled by this voice, and most of the courage I had just mustered dissipated, and I hurriedly looked to the ground, only to see Wang Zhen lifting a stone and throwing it at the black bear.

Seeing this, I couldn't care about anything, so I jumped down from the tree with a strange scream. But as I was covered in dust and ached from the cold buttocks, I smelled a rich, refreshing scent. This smell lifted my spirits, and after confirming that Wang Zhen's side could barely cope with it for the time being, I hurriedly bent down to look for the piece of jade.

Luckily, the jade was strong enough, and it tumbled out of my pocket and hit the ground hard, leaving me unscathed. I held it in my hand, pulled up Zhang Siyuan, who was grinning with bared teeth, and rushed towards Wang Zhen and Wang Linshuo.

I rushed to them panting, and was about to attack it when something strange happened. The black bear, which was still ferociously biting, suddenly stopped its movements and froze motionless. Wang Zhen and I looked at each other, and the man in black took the opportunity to turn around and quickly flee to the side.

I glanced at the black bear that was slumped to the ground and looked sluggish, dragged Wang Zhen to escape far away and looked back, only to see the black bear standing up with difficulty as if it was seriously injured, staggering and limping down the mountain.

I looked at the shrinking back and froze in place, and looked around with trepidation, relieved to make sure there was no lurking danger. Wang Linshuo frowned and looked in the direction where the black bear was far away and asked, "How could it let go of the prey in its hands, it couldn't have predicted some kind of danger in advance, right?" ”

I was worried, "I've thought about this for a long time...... Wrong! A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my brain, and I rubbed the warm jade in my palm and shouted, "It's the effect of jade!" The smell emanating from this piece of jade stimulated it. ”

Everyone gathered around to look at the jade in my hand, although Zhang Siyuan didn't agree with my explanation, but he couldn't find any other reason besides it. The man in black kept walking around, calling Li Qingling's name. Uncle Lu said with a blushing face: "Be quiet, be careful to attract any tricky things." ”

The man in black glanced at him and turned his face away: "I've been a colleague for many years, and you are more affectionate than the four of them who have known each other for less than a month." ”

Uncle Lu turned a deaf ear to his words, sat on the big stone and smoked. Zhang Siyuan suddenly hooked my neck and smiled at me: "I just used the stunt I learned all my life to help you get away from that black thing and successfully saved your life, how are you going to repay me?" ”

Wang Zhen interrupted on the side: "Didn't you just shout that you were hungry and tired, why did you rush so fast in those seconds?" I don't think you're even using that much potential when you're running for your life. ”

Zhang Siyuan was so proud that he was almost flying into the sky, he stiffened his neck and said, "Don't forget, Lao Tzu was a long-distance runner when he was in school." ”

Wang Linshuo continued: "What kind of long-distance running team, I think you look like you have a stiff neck like this." ”

At this moment, I suddenly remembered the dry hand stretched out from the green leaves, and a chill passed through my back. I interrupted their gag and said, "Do you know why I suddenly fell off a tree? Because there's a corpse in that tree! ”

Zhang Siyuan opened his mouth and wondered: "Huh? You mean the corpse pushed you down? ”

I glared at him, then turned to Wang Linshuo and Wang Zhen and said, "I can't see the whole picture of that corpse, I can only see a withered hand full of corpse spots sticking out of the leaves. How could there be a corpse in a tree? Was it trapped in a tree, or was it killed and hidden in the leaves? ”

Wang Linshuo shook his head with a pale face: "We pretend not to see anything, the most taboo thing here is to cause trouble." ”

I nodded, only to hear an earth-shattering howl of despair from the man in black not far away. I shuddered at the sound, and my heart sank suddenly, and I rushed to him.

There was no brutal and bloody scene in front of him, only a light gray jogging shoe thrown on the edge of the grass. Although I recognized at a glance that the jogging shoes belonged to the pair that Li Qingling wore most often, I couldn't understand why the man in black let out such a desperate howl. Uncle Lu stood aside with his arms crossed, the expression on his face was very complicated, and his frowning brows were faintly unbearable.

Zhang Siyuan was stunned and walked over to help the man in black up and persuaded: "Maybe she just accidentally threw her shoes here, and there is nothing wrong with people." ”

The man in black shook his head slowly, stepped forward to push away the grass, and a dangerous cliff appeared in front of us as if it had been split. He pointed to the traces of violent friction on the edge of the cliff and said indifferently: "She panicked and drilled into the grass, but she didn't expect that this was a cliff, and she couldn't stop the car and fell down." ”

I couldn't believe him, so I cautiously walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, where the narrow rock wall and the bottom layer looked like countless tiny dots. I was a little weak, and hurriedly withdrew to comfort the man in black: "There is no body at the bottom of the cliff, and you haven't even seen blood, why are you so sure that she has fallen?" ”

The black-clothed man twisted his head to the side, biting his pale lip tightly, and after a long time, he said decisively as if he had made up his mind: "Even if she doesn't fall, then she won't live long." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. Even Uncle Lu, who had been holding his arms and watching coldly, grabbed him with wide eyes in surprise and asked carefully. The man in black said expressionlessly: "Li Xiguan's family inherits a disease, this disease cannot be said to be incurable, but the prescription is extremely difficult to find. It is necessary to find a person of the opposite sex who matches him, willingly ingesting a poison that will not kill him in the short term, and after three days go to the sick person for special treatment of him. This time is very important, neither sooner nor later. If the treatment was successful, Li Xiguan escaped. But if Li Xikan can't be found when the appointed time comes, Li Qingling will die violently. ”

I'd love to ask the man in black what he meant about the special treatment. But seeing that his face was blue and his face was longer than that of a horse, he swallowed this sentence before it reached his mouth. Uncle Lu was stunned like a piece of wood, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "For such an important matter, why did you tell me only when you got in a dilemma?" ”

The man in black sighed, "I don't want to do that eitherβ€”oh, I forgot to mention something, we have an antidote with us." If, after the three-day period, Li Xikan still can't be found, our antidote can temporarily alleviate her symptoms, and extend it a little longer. ”

I looked at the man in black in a daze, and Li Qingling's face flashed in my mind with different expressions like a movie. I began to understand why Li Qingling's mobile phone was unlocked, and why she marked Li Xiguan's caller ID as Zhang Siyuan. She wants to lure us into getting clues from her in this way.

Wang Linshuo rubbed his chin and asked with a pensive look, "How long is it?" ”

The face of the man in black was very ugly: "It's only five hours. ”

His words, though soft, were like a hammer striking at my heart. Zhang Siyuan snorted fiercely, and suddenly asked, "Since the time is so urgent, why doesn't she act on her own?" From what I've observed, she's got a lot more information than you, and one person might find her little boyfriend in minutes. ”

Wang Zhen glared at him, and Wang Linshuo coughed lightly. Zhang Siyuan realized that he had said the wrong thing, touched his head and smiled very embarrassedly: "Ah...... You're just like I just fart. ”

The man in black had no scruples, and his expression didn't even fluctuate. He replied, "Because neither she nor Li Xikan knows exactly how to treat it. ”
