When everyone started looking for Hong'er, Ji Yunshen found some water traces in the backyard of Qiu Lange's house, and when he squatted down and twisted a handful of soil stained with water stains, he smelled it carefully, and he didn't smell a special smell, so he didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, I thought that Fan Xiucai passed out by the waterhole, and the waterhole was very likely to have some connection with Hong'er's disappearance.

"Master Ji, are you sure you want to go to that waterhole whose name you don't know? I think I should go to the pavilion where Fan Xiucai was struck by lightning, Fan Xiucai went crazy near that pavilion, maybe he was tired of running and accidentally passed out by that pool. ”

Yan Jiu expressed her opinion, and Princess Changji felt that it made sense, "If there is a problem with that waterhole, the slaves and maids of the Fan family will not be able to come close to find Fan Xiucai."

Master Ji, let's go to Fan Xiucai to find it on the way to welcome relatives, maybe it is possible to find the landlord of the child along the road, how can the waterhole hide the child, even if the child is eaten by the monster, he has to spit out the bone residue after eating the skin and meat. You can always find the slightest hint of it. ”

Princess Changji's words made everyone's eyes cold. Fu Duoxi knew that it was difficult for Princess Changji to disobey Ji Yunshen's words, so he played a round, "Master Ji is a professional, since we want to help him, we should listen to him." ”

"What is Master Ji's major?"

"Detective professional."

Fu Duoxi smiled slightly at Princess Changji, Princess Changji looked at Ji Yunshen and nodded, "That's right, Master Ji is the best at investigating cases." ”

"I'm also a professional, and I'm the most professional in catching demons."

Yan Jiu was anxious to show his demon hunting professionalism, pulled out the painting scroll and shook it, the painting scroll was very peaceful in his hand, and he wanted to show the monster in the ambush in the painting scroll, but he didn't pull the painting shaft with both hands, and his expression was suddenly extremely embarrassed. "Why can't I open this scroll! I'm glad you opened it and showed it to them. ”

"Don't make trouble, it's important to find Hong'er. Listen to Master Ji. ”

Ji Yunshen has never doubted his ability to lead the case, and if it weren't for Fu Duoxi today, he might not be able to lead this four-person team.

"Our goal is the waterhole, but we are taking Fan Xiucai's road to welcome relatives, everyone pay more attention to the movement on both sides of the road, and try to observe carefully."

After Ji Yunshen finished speaking, he walked to the front. Yan Jiu immediately made up for the break, and protected Fu Duoxi and Princess Changji in the middle. The little fox demon obediently followed behind Ji Yunshen.

There were large fields and crops along the way, and the little fox demon tried to sniff Hong'er and wanted to smell Hong'er, Yan Jiu held the demon painting scroll in the hope that the painting scroll would suddenly stand up, but he didn't particularly find it.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and beyond that were the rolling hills, and the misty waterhole at the foot of the mountains could be clearly seen.

Fan Xiucai can really run, and he has been running for more than ten kilometers from the pavilion where he rests and shelters from the rain on the way to welcome his relatives. I don't know if he ran for two days to get to this waterhole, or if he ran to the waterhole in one breath and passed out for two days.

"I'm exhausted."

Princess Changji sat on the ground and panted, and the image of the princess protecting the country was gone, "I want to drink water." ”

Ji Yunshen took off the small pot for drawing water from his waist and was snatched by Yan Jiuyi, "I'll come." Yan Jiu squatted down and leaned over to scoop up the water. The small, thin-spouted pot bubbled and soon filled.

Fu Duoxi watched Yan Jiu run to bring water to Princess Changji, shook his head and smiled, and turned his head to face the waterhole in front of him. The diameter of the water surface is three or four meters, and the water of the pool is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the green aquatic plants and small fish swimming together in the cracks of the rocks.

"I'd love you to sit down."

Fu Duoxi turned around and smiled at Ji Yunshen, "I'm not tired." Looking at the kettle handed by Ji Yunshen, although he was not thirsty, he took it and drank two sips.

Fu Duoxi didn't want to think like he had walked more than ten kilometers this night, and he didn't feel out of breath, his heart didn't beat or he felt thirsty, and he felt that he couldn't finish it.

"Master Ji, you have two kettles, give this one to me."

Princess Changji looked at the hand pot in Fu Duoxi's hand, and then at the kettle that Yan Jiu gave her to drink water just now, the two kettles were exactly the same, and after speaking, she didn't care whether Ji Yunshen agreed or not, and tied them directly around her waist,

Let Yan Jiu follow to the other side to check, and talk about where children can be hidden in this kind of place as they go.

"Why do you have two identical kettles?"

Fu Duoxi returned the kettle to Ji Yunshen, Ji Yunshen tied the kettle around his waist, and looked at the figure of Princess Changji walking to the opposite side and shook his head helplessly, "It was my grandfather who was inspired to ask a craftsman to make it when he was investigating a case in the Western Regions." The two kettles are not exactly the same, the two kettles have hidden buckles, which can be combined into one as a decoration, and can be taken down to hold things when needed, to detect whether the food is poisonous, and the water in this pool can be drunk. ”

Fu Duoxi didn't know that this pair of kettles had such a special commemoration and use, but he obviously felt that Ji Yunshen seemed to be a little reluctant.

"When Princess Changji is fresh enough, I will return it to Master Ji."

“…… I'm going to go around. ”

After Ji Yunshen finished speaking, he turned along the waterhole. Fu Duoxi called the little fox demon over, and the little fox demon was stretching out his little fat paws to play in the water, and ran to Fu Duoxi with a sigh.

"I'm going to set up a rune array by this waterhole, and you just obediently stay by the rune array."

"Ah, isn't my sister with me?"

The little fox demon purred twice in his stomach when he spoke, and he was hungry and looked at Fu Duoxi embarrassedly. Yesterday, because Hong'er was gone, everyone didn't eat.

Fu Duoxi took out the shortbread wrapped in oiled paper from the black bead bracelet and handed it to the little fox demon, "Eat." ”

After settling the little fox demon well, Fu Duoxi caught up with Yan Jiu, and when it came to the matter of the cloth rune array, Yan Jiu felt that it was feasible. If there is really any monster in the water, it will definitely come out and be trapped in the rune array.

The sky was bright.

The waterhole is surrounded by a silky array that looks like a large transparent bowl with an upside-down buckle.

In the distance, there were a few men dressed as hunters carrying baskets on their backs and preparing to go up the mountain to pick mountain goods, and those hunters obviously didn't expect that there would be people by the waterhole in the early morning, and looked at Fu Duoxi and Ji Yunshen from time to time.

Ji Yunshen was also about to find someone to inquire about the situation of the waterhole, so he went up to ask Orion if there was any special movement near the waterhole in the past two or three months. Several hunters shook their heads together, and then looked at Fukudoki and Princess Nagayoshi who were standing by the waterhole, and one of them stopped talking, and was signaled by the cough of his companion, so he pursed his lips and walked towards the mountain.

Fu Duoxi was not close, but he could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the hunters, "I guess that the hunter probably knows something, and his companion won't let him say it." ”

"yes, I'll ask."

Yan Jiu ran as fast as he could, and soon caught up with the Orion just now.

Princess Changji turned the small kettle on her waist, her eyes chasing Yan Jiu's figure, "Master Ji can't even ask questions, how can you investigate the case professionally?" ”

Ji Yunshen was speechless for a while, and usually asked questions and inquired about the situation, and this kind of thing was left to Chengye to do. Ji Yunshen's expressionless cold face and wearing a silver light blindfold really made people shy away from talking to him more.
