Jiang Han let go of the rope in his hand, and Duoduo Dog pounced into the darkness, and the two archers also followed with torches that were entangled in the drizzle and tried to burn.

After a while, Duoduo ran back again, put a shoe in his mouth on Jiang Han's footsteps, and wagged his tail to invite Jiang Han for credit.

Jiang Han touched its head and picked up his shoes.

It's a children's boot, but it's not Ann's.

She only glanced at it twice, and Lord Shen reached over and naturally took it away.

Jiang Han was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly opened his mouth to divert everyone's attention: "This shoe looks very new, I don't know if it's Wang Xiaoli's ......" In the middle of the sentence, she was suddenly stunned and exclaimed, "They won't repeat their old tricks and leave Wang Xiaoli in this mountain, right?" โ€

These words spoke everyone's hearts at this moment, and the two archers standing on the side of the road glanced at each other, looked at Lord Shen in unison, and waited for his instructions to enter the forest to search at any time.

"Walk for a while and lose someone, how can it be like a monkey picking up sesame seeds, so much trouble, where do you want to lead me to?" Jiang Han looked at the inky mountains and forests like a gloomy beast, wiped the water droplets on his face irritably, his voice suddenly pulled, and shouted, "Wang Xiaoli, where are you, I'm Jiang Han, don't be afraid, we're here to save you!" โ€

This shout suddenly exploded in the silent mountain forest, shaking like a silk rain and fog seemed to pause for a moment, but unfortunately, except for startling a group of night birds in a dream, only a dry echo remained, rippling in the mountains and dissipating in all directions.

The two archers no longer hesitated, turned around and prepared to go into the forest to look carefully, but they didn't want to take two steps before they were stopped by Lord Shen who was holding his boots.

"Wait."

Lord Shen frowned and looked at the mountains and forests, his face wet with rain and fog looked a little pale in the faint firelight.

"There is only birdsong, no movement of wild beasts, this place can already see the Eight Immortals, although the boots are dirty, there is no thick mud on the soles of the boots, and there is no bloodstain, it should be the thief deliberately."

Jiang Han was stunned: "What are they doing throwing their shoes here?" Let us suspect that the children are hiding here, dragging us back, so that they can escape? But if that's the case, how can I get caught in the net......"

Lord Shen glanced at her, a little helpless, and said, "Think about it carefully." โ€

Think about it?

Jiang Han's brain was a little knotted, saying that the thief's purpose was hers, but what about him, what does it mean to deny her statement now?

Wait a minute......

Jiang Han's hand holding the dog leash clenched slightly, his eyes widened and he looked at the dark place where he didn't know how many crises were hidden, and the not-so-confident voice of the fifth year of junior high school sounded in his ears at the same time.

"Master, you mean that those thieves want to lure the little second brother into the forest with their boots, and then make a surprise ......attack," he said, and made a motion to wipe his neck.

"It's to lure us." Lord Shen corrected softly, his face becoming more and more solemn.

Hearing this, the four people present suddenly sweated on the back of their necks, and subconsciously approached each other in twos and put on a defensive posture, and at the same time, they were a little glad that they did not impulsively go into the forest.

"Master, let's do it next? Child, will you hide in this mountain? The fifth child's voice trembled a little.

Lord Shen didn't answer his words, but raised his chin towards the mountain road in front of him, and said calmly, "Go up and talk about it." โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

A heavy, dry creak sounded, and the door of the Eight Immortals Nunnery was opened a crack, revealing a half-tired and indifferent face.

It was Ni Miaoci, the guest daughter of the Eight Immortal Nunnery, who Jiang Han did not have a good impression.

She looked at the three people who were half-damp and their sideburns were wet under the porch, and they didn't say a word, and they were reflected in the eyes of Jiang Han and the three of them through the dimly lit crack in the door, making them shiver involuntarily and give birth to a layer of goosebumps.

They didn't knock on the door, and they didn't plan to disturb the quiet Eight Immortals Nunnery, but just temporarily sheltered from the rain in front of the nunnery.

A moment ago, the archers of the two exploration teams had just received Lord Shen's order to go back to report the news.

It is more than thirty miles away from Luoxia Town, if the road is smooth, at most more than an hour of reinforcements can arrive, the enemy is dark and I am clear, even if the children are not hidden in the mountains, the people who are hiding in the mountains are inseparable from this.

Li Weizong and the others must be rushing over at this time, the situation is unknown at this time, instead of tracking indiscriminately, it is better to wait first, catch the thieves in the mountains and ask for clarity before making a plan.

This is Lord Shen's plan.

The three of them were stunned, the door of the nunnery was wide open, Miao Ci stepped out of the threshold, and chanted the Buddha to Lord Shen with his palms together, and invited them into the nunnery without being arrogant or humble.

Lord Shen pondered for a moment, looked at Jiang Han, who was shrinking and his lips were white, and replied, "Thank you, master, I'll go in later, ask for a cup of hot tea, and bother." โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Miao Ci welcomed the three of them into the living room, lit the incense burner, took out a clean cloth towel, and boiled water to make tea, although there was no more than a word except for the sentence "Please wait a moment" when she entered the house, but Jiang Han's perception of her skyrocketed.

Such a silent Miaoci is more lovely than the Miaoci of the original power, I don't know how many times cute.

Jiang Han, who was a little noisy on weekdays, suddenly liked this state very much, but Lord Shen, who was supposed to prefer this atmosphere, took the initiative to break the silence.

"I don't know Master Miaoci, but you can understand this pagoda mountain."

"Nature is understood." Miao Ci replied respectfully.

"The caves in this mountain are familiar to the master."

Miao Ci raised her eyes and glanced at Lord Shen quickly, snorted, and replied calmly: "The poor nun knows that there are one or two places in the back mountain. โ€

Lord Shen bowed his head in satisfaction, and asked again, "Can the master draw pictures?" Can you help me mark the location? โ€

Miao Ci's lowered eyebrows jumped slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she said humbly: "I'm afraid that the poor nun's skills are rough, which will affect the judgment of the donor." โ€

"It's okay, you draw first."

Miao Ci nodded, saluted with his palms, and said, "Donor, please take a sip of tea and wait for a while, and the poor nun will go and draw it for the donor." โ€

Lord Shen hurriedly thanked him: "You might as well bring the four treasures of the study here, if you have any questions, you can also ask below." โ€

Miao Ci smiled lightly, but didn't say whether it would be okay or not, sang the Buddha horn again, and went down on her own.

After the three of them finished drinking two teas, they whispered about the current situation one by one, and when some fatigue gradually rose on their bodies, Jiang Han suddenly stood up and said with some embarrassment: "I'll go out for convenience." โ€

Lord Shen asked, "Where do you know?" Am I with you? โ€

When Jiang Han heard this, as if he had been burned, he jumped away, waved his hand and said: "No, no, I know the road, you should wait here, don't run around, this is a nunnery!" With that, she jumped out of the guest hall like an arrow.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

After Jiang Han finished making it, Miao Ci had already returned, and was talking to Lord Shen and Chu Wu in the house.

Jiang Han was about to go in, but found that the Duoduo dog that was lying on his stomach at the door of the guest hall was gone.

She called softly twice, but did not hear a response, glanced around the small courtyard, and looked for it outside.

The guest hall where they stay is a special resting place for male guests who accompany female guests to offer incense. There are only three such rooms, and they are located in a small courtyard to the east of the hermitage. Walking out of the courtyard, through a path planted with pines and cypresses, there is the Buddhist hall in the front yard, and turning back is the back yard. The backyard is divided into two parts, and in addition to the residences of the monks and nuns, there are also guest rooms for female guests.

Jiang Han stood on the pine and cypress path and shouted a few more times, but still didn't hear the dog barking.

She suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and she didn't bother to inform Lord Shen, so she went to the front yard by herself.

When she went to the nunnery first, she loosened the leash of Duoduo's dog, and obviously remembered that it followed the guest hall before running to the door again, could it be that the third watch was too tired in the middle of the night, and the memory was wrong?

Thinking like this in his heart, Jiang Han walked faster under his feet, and his shouts became louder and more anxious.

All the way to the gate of the hermitage, she heard a few faint and distant cries, and when she looked closely, they were outside the courtyard wall.

"It's so speechless, I really left it outside!"

Jiang Han suddenly felt sorry, slapped his forehead hard, opened the door and ran out.

The cry came from the east.

Jiang Han bypassed the courtyard wall and came to the peach forest next to the nunnery.

Late autumn is approaching, and the leaves of the peach trees have long since fallen, and the bare branches are stretched out wildly, looking a little like a ghost with teeth and claws in the night rain.

Jiang Han subconsciously stopped, stood on the edge of the forest and shouted, "Duoduo, Duoduo, where are you?" Come back! โ€

Duoduo Dog's snort was a little eager, but he never came back.

"What are you doing? Come back! If you don't come back, be careful I'll break your dog's leg later! โ€

"Wang, Wang!" There was still only a shout, no figure, and the cry was still a little anxious.

"Did you find a clue?" Jiang Han muttered to himself, did not stop any longer, but hurriedly looked for the place where the dog barked.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

In the guest hall before, the fifth junior high school who was accompanying Lord Shen suddenly heard Jiang Han's call to the dog, and seeing that Miaoci hadn't finished speaking, he took the initiative to say, "I'll take a look." โ€

Just turned a Buddhist hall, and saw that the door of the nunnery was open, and then heard the response of a person and a dog outside the courtyard, he sighed in his heart, gushed out a bad premonition, and hurriedly ran out.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold and saw the dark mountains and forests outside the door, he retracted his feet, ran back to the guest hall quickly, and said to Lord Shen nervously: "Master, Aunt Jiang...... Little second brother, I ran out with that dog! โ€

"Hurry up and chase it, what are you doing when you come back?!" Lord Shen stood up suddenly, put away the paper on the table, and left the room before he had time to say more to Miao Ci.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Master, I heard it over there before!" On the fifth day of the first month, he caught up with Lord Shen, holding the torch that he lit as he walked, and pointed to the east of the courtyard.

After just a few breaths, Lord Shen and the fifth day of junior high chased to the edge of the peach forest.

"Jiang Han, where are you?!" Lord Shen shouted, his footsteps kept getting into the peach forest, the uneasiness in his heart rose sharply, and his eyebrows jumped up.

He pulled out his sword with a swoop, and slashed at the peach branch that stood in his way.

"Hurry up, where are you?!" Lord Shen roared, with a bit of a trill.

The night was so heavy that it seemed to affect the speed of sound propagation, and just when he felt that the sound of his heartbeat was uncomfortable to his ears, he finally heard Jiang Han's nervous and happy response.

"My lord, I'm here! Duoduo seems to have fallen into a pit, I haven't found it yet, you can help! โ€

"Honestly stay still, wait for me to pass!" Lord Shen's heart was relieved, and he ordered sternly, snatched the torch in Chu Wu's hand, and quickly ran towards Jiang Han's position.

If Jiang Han is a person who can listen to orders, then she is not called Jiang Han.

Ignoring the potholes on the mountain path, Lord Shen approached her at a speed like the wind.

The drizzle, although it has not been a line for a long time, but it has been enough to wet the mountains and rocks for more than an hour, and the visual distance in the dark is only three feet, Jiang Han swept away his previous caution, and walked towards the cliff slope half a step and half a step.

Lord Shen was behind her, and when she saw the fire coming with him, she was even more relieved.

She turned back to the bottom of the cliff and shouted, "Duoduo, where are you?" โ€

Duoduo let out a cry of pain, Jiang Han was in a hurry, took a step forward, and stepped on a piece of bluestone......

"Jiang Han!"

The poignant roar broke through the black curtain and pierced the brief blank in Jiang Han's mind, and then, a panicked "ah" sound rushed out of her closed throat and resounded through the mountains, accompanied by an uncontrollable sense of weightlessness, and fell towards the cliff slope......

"Ah~ah~ah!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Terrible screams, continuous crashing sounds, resounded one after another at the bottom of the cliff.

"Master, don't!"

Lord Shen, who rushed to the edge of the cliff, disappeared in front of the eyes of the fifth junior high school who was one step behind without waiting to stand firm......
