Chapter 22: The Hollow Valley Orchid

Ever since she first came to this low mountain, Jialan felt that there was something unspeakable wrong with the village below. She doesn't know what's wrong, just like a detective who has to find out everything she does, she pays extra attention to everything. She thought it was the "sequelae" brought to her by this tense time in Youdu, but when Chu Jianghe sighed at her speed, she realized that Youdu had already had an impact on her, making her overly alert and flexible.

The unknown disappearance of Fan Li and Xiao Xiao naturally aroused her suspicions. She made her way straight to the village below the mountain, so fast that the people behind did not have time to keep up with him. She clutched her longbow and plunged into the village, and only felt irritated when she saw the high dirt walls next to her, such high walls were strangely constructed, they blocked the view, and they were extremely fragile, if someone wanted to find a place to sneak up on you, they just had to break through the wall.

Jialan was paying attention to the movements around her while thinking back to the last time she came to her grandfather's house. His speed has been improved, and it still takes nearly an hour to go down the mountain, and the last time the little boy went up and down the mountain was less than two hours, it is easy to make people suspicious, but last time she was influenced by her grandfather, she was as eager to get useful information as Fan Li, and no one paid attention to this matter, and now she only feels a little scared when she thinks about it.

Since entering this village, Jialan began to pay attention to the movements around her, and at first there were a few dotted water carriers, and when she went deep into the village, she found that there was no one in the village, and there were all empty houses inside. There was a commotion, and she saw that the curtain of a house had been opened, so she hid behind the earthen wall, made a hole with an arrow, and looked through the wall.

It was a policewoman in a dark blue police uniform, wearing a white mask, a barbed leather whip wrapped around her waist, and a tiger head tattooed around her waist. She was followed by a policewoman of similar stature, dressed in the same attire, except with two short knives pinned to her waist. Jialan felt that the outlines of these people were familiar, and she wanted to pay attention for a while, but she heard a dull roar from beside her, and she turned her head, and she was already ready to fly.

A huge Tibetan mastiff walked slowly in front of him, its eyes staring at Jialan as if staring at a prey, saliva constantly flowing from between its teeth. Jialan slowly retreated, but found that an identical Tibetan mastiff also jumped out behind her, followed by the sound of a leather whip hitting the ground, and the two dogs immediately pounced.

Jialan pounced on the earthen wall at great speed, fortunately the earthen wall was still strong enough to support her weight, she grabbed the edge of the earthen wall with one hand, and climbed onto the earthen wall with both feet, and the two vicious dogs pounced in the air, looking directly at her. Jialan was about to shoot the two dogs to death, when her neck suddenly tightened, and she was dragged alive from the earthen wall to the other side.

She could feel the sharp pain coming from the outer skin of her neck, the man pulled Jialan's body left and right, increasing the crack in the wound, Jialan took the opportunity to raise her hand and shoot an arrow, the man released her neck in order to dodge Jialan's attack. Jialan jumped up and found that the policewoman with the tiger head tattoo she had just seen was opposite.

"You kidnapped my friend?" Jialan's wooden arrow was pointed at her, and she retracted her attacking stance and nodded at her.

"The sheriff just wanted to ask him one question." The policewoman replied that her voice was an electronic sound that was processed and sounded uncomfortable.

Jialan wanted to kill her with an arrow, but the muffled sound of the two vicious dogs behind her gave her a headache, if she killed the policewoman, she would have to entangle with her vicious dogs, look at this mastiff is three meters long, strong, it is very difficult to get rid of them.

"I advise you to lower your arrows." The policewoman moved her wrists, looking ready to attack at any moment. "If we wanted to kill you, we would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now."

This policewoman is really ruthless with barbs on the leather whip, on the other hand, her technique of using the leather whip is also very mature, otherwise this row of barbs will be enough for her to pull herself. At this moment, even in the face of her life-seeking posture, she still looked like she was doing nothing, and her confident attitude made Jialan's side have a little compromise. Sure enough, as she said, if she didn't put down the arrow, she would definitely be the one who suffered.

Just as Jialan was thinking about what would happen after putting down the bow and arrow, a sudden gunshot rang out, and a stream of bright red blood erupted from the left shoulder of the policewoman in front of her, which temporarily shocked the two mastiffs next to her, and Jialan took this opportunity to shoot an arrow at the policewoman's calf, but the wooden arrow was nailed to the ground by a dagger.

"Jialan, where's Fan Li?" Xiao Yun and Kai crossbow ran over from a distance, because they didn't know the whereabouts of Fan Li, Xiao Yun didn't dare to shoot at will, temporarily injured the policewoman and let Jialan get out of trouble, who expected that another policewoman suddenly appeared in front of her, they ran in a hurry, and no one noticed that a person would jump out of the haystack next to him.

The policewoman held a four-inch knife in her hand, and rushed towards Xiao Yun as sensitively as a gray cat, because the momentum of running was too great, coupled with Xiao Yun's sturdy porcelain physique, she didn't have time to dodge at all, so she could only raise her arm to resist, and her left arm was cut by the policewoman with a five-centimeter cut. Seeing this, Kai Crossbow stopped and shot two shots at the sudden policewoman, who rolled over and flashed the bullets, hiding between the haystacks next to her and disappeared.

"Xiao Xiao, don't come here, be careful here!" Kai crossbow looked back at Xiao Xiao, who was running too slowly in the distance, but he spoke too fast, and Xiao Xiao had been running, and there was the sound of whirring wind in his ears, so he couldn't hear anything at all.

On the other side, Jia Lan flew to the earthen wall, at such a height, even if the mastiff could reach it, it would not be able to launch an accurate attack like on the ground, but the policewoman was more irritable, she inadvertently became a live target, standing so high, and so handy, the policewoman waved her whip wildly, as if her shoulder was not injured at all.

In the hut, both Fan Li and the sheriff heard the sound of fighting outside, and the sheriff lost his patience a little, and she pressed the confession gun against Fan Li's chest, and the edge of the muzzle was very strong due to the small force area, which made Fan Li's pain for a while.

"You don't have much time left, and even if my men can't kill your friend, I'm going to torture you to death."

Fan Li was just about to speak, when a pair of police boots appeared outside the curtain, but this person did not walk in, but stood by the door.

"Sheriff, it seems that the empty valley Youlan can't stop it, they have guns, do you want to use bombs."

"Yes, blow them all up!" The sheriff yelled.

"But the surrounding residents ......"

"Leave them alone." The sheriff once again confirmed that this time it was Fan Li's turn to be anxious, and if he used the bomb, Jialan would be unable to resist even if he was well-skilled.

"Wait!" Fan Lixi shouted out the door, as if talking to the policewoman who had just reported the news, and then he turned to the sheriff. "I tell you, don't hurt my friend! The ruby is in the warehouse at No. 58 Yuquan Street in the lost city, in the drawer in my room! ”

"Hehe, wouldn't it be over if you said that earlier?" The sheriff removed the confession gun from his chest when a loud bang came from outside, shattering the walls of the small roof.

"Ahh You don't talk about credit, bastards! Fan Lifu spat at the sheriff, and the smear flew halfway before falling.

"Haha, that's the result of your procrastination, I wanted to go out and inform them, but you're too slow." The sheriff shook the confession gun in front of him, and a long nail suddenly drilled out of the muzzle of the gun, and slashed at Fan Li's face, Fan Li's instinct was to dodge, and there was a bloody mark on his neck. "Don't hesitate to do anything next time." The sheriff snorted, lifted the curtain and ran away.

"Bastard, let me down!" Fan Lifu yelled outside, at this time, two knives flew through the curtain, cutting the hemp rope that bound his hands, and before Fan Li's reaction, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He hurriedly untied the rope from his leg, and then rushed out, finding that many of the earthen walls in front of him had collapsed. There were three people lying there, and at first glance there was a shadow of Jialan.

Fan Li ran over and found that Jialan was sitting up from the ground with her head covered, Xiao Yun and Kai Crossbow next to her were also in the same state, and in the distance, Xiao Xiao and Chu Jianghe were running towards this place.

"Damn it, I put a drug inside the bomb." Jialan looked at Fan Li in a daze. "You're out?"

"The policewomen tortured me to extract a confession, are you all okay, I just heard an explosion."

"It's okay, the explosive bombs are far away from us, but some ** bombs are ejected around, exploding in front of us, if it weren't for these things, the two policewomen would definitely be out of order!" Jialan looked at the distance with some unwillingness, and then suddenly thought of something, pointing at Xiao Xiao and Fan Li, who had just run over, and scolded. "You two things, you have nothing to do and run around!"

"Sister...... I just wanted to go to the toilet over there, but I didn't dare to make a noise when I heard a sudden noise around me, and I waited for a long time to go back to the hut and find that you were all gone, so I ran down the hill in a hurry. Xiao Xiao lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, looking like a little girl admitting her mistake.

"Okay, okay, everyone's fine." Chu Jianghe saw Jialan's murderous eyes, he stood far away just now, and the wonderful confrontation between Jialan and the policewoman was in full view, and he could understand Jialan's mood at this time.

"By the way, what are those policewomen asking you?"

"I once took a thing in the temple, it resembles a ruby, and in Grandpa's Soul Thief Ceremony, it is said that it is a refined dragon scale, and this is what they want, I guess now our warehouse in the Lost City has been exposed." Fan Li looked helpless, he thought that the next thing would be everyone's complaints and Jialan's scolding, but he didn't expect Jialan to just nod her head slightly, and after standing up from the ground, she looked at the low mountain.

"When I came down just now, I thought about some problems, I think there is a problem with that little boy, and the old man, I don't know what the problem is, it's useless to go back anyway, let's go back to the house to see what other clues there are, Xiao Yun, Kai crossbow, please dig up the body of the little boy later, I'll see if there is anything suspicious."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yun and Kai Crossbow both had surprised expressions.

"Ahh
