Speaking of which, Wu Zhi couldn't go on, because that would be an extremely bad ending.

"Nope."

Hu Sanniang asserted: "In this case, you must not let others know, otherwise it will bring more trouble!" ”

Wu Zhi nodded.

"I agree with you."

After pondering for a moment, Hu Sanniang suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

"Wu Zhi, do you remember the old man we rescued in the town? He might be able to help! ”

Hearing Hu Sanniang's reminder, Wu Zhi's eyes lit up.

He remembers!

On that day, the old man surnamed Liu who he and Hu Sanniang rescued had two guards by his side.

Hu Sanniang continued: "If we ask Master Liu to help, maybe it will be safer than we can find it ourselves, and I think in this case, we can even lure the snake out of the hole!" ”

"That's good! I immediately sent someone to inform the old man and told him to come to Zhuangzi as soon as possible. ”

Wu Zhi nodded.

After the two discussed, they each left the room and went about arranging their own matters.

After Wu Zhi walked out of the door, he did not go to find Master Liu, but went straight to the outside of the village.

He must find his wife Pan Jinlian before those people find him!

Master Liu is the same master they saved that day!

The address simply lives near Hujiazhuang, not far from Zhuangzi.

Not long after, Wu Zhi took Wu Song and Hu Sanniang to a mansion as fast as possible.

"Knock knock—"

Wu Zhi knocked softly on the door.

After waiting for a long time, someone inside finally agreed.

"Who?"

An old voice asked.

"It's me."

Wu Zhi said respectfully.

After a while, Master Liu opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of medicine rushed out, making people dizzy and dizzy, and they had to take a few steps back to stabilize their minds.

Wu Zhi looked at this old man Liu seriously, he was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his figure was thin, but he was in good spirits.

Master Liu looked at the few people outside the threshold, frowned, and said, "Who are you?" ”

"In Xia Wuzhi, can you know Jin Lian?"

Wu asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, looked carefully for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"And where is she?" Wu Zhi asked eagerly.

"How do I know?"

Master Liu replied angrily, and then closed the door.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang.

Wu Zhi and the others were locked out.

He stood in place, a shadow flashing in his eyes, "This old man is too ridiculous, he pretended to be deaf and dumb in front of me, and he didn't even pretend to hear my question!" ”

Wu Song was also worried.

"Brother, how is this good, this old man is not willing to tell us the whereabouts of Jin Lian at all, what should I do?"

"Since we can't find it, then we'll withdraw first."

Wu Zhi turned to look at the gloomy mountains not far away, "It's a big deal, let's go directly into the mountains to find it, I don't believe that people will disappear out of thin air!" ”

Wu Song also agreed with Wu Zhi's decision.

"Hmmm! Just do what my brother says. ”

The two agreed, and turned away.

Shortly after they left, they saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl running out of the side path.

"Hey, those two brothers are so strange, what are they doing?"

The girl wondered, her voice crisp and pleasant, like a silver bell.

"Miss, those two brothers are looking for Miss Jinlian, they have already gone into the mountain, let's leave their business alone and go home quickly!"

A little maid-like man dissuaded.

The girl nodded,

Then, the girl turned her head and asked another maid, "Ah Xiang, when will they come back?" ”

Ah Xiang replied: "The master said that he would come back for dinner tonight." ”

The girl cheered happily when she heard this: "Great, Ah Xiang, let's go visit my father, and bring some gifts to my father by the way, hehe!" ”

After the master and servant discussed, they walked straight in the direction of Hujiazhuang.

At the same time, Wu Zhi and the others had already reached the foot of the mountain.

"Brother, what should we do now? Is that all there is to it? ”

Wu Song asked.

Wu Zhi thought for a while, "Let's go up and have a look first, see if you can find Jin Lian, although the person is missing in Zhuangzi, but my intuition tells me that it must be in the mountains." ”

"Okay, let's go our separate ways, I'll be in a group, and you and Hu Sanniang will act together."

Wu Song deeply agreed with his brother's idea and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Then it's settled!"

"I'll go up and take a look first, and I'll let you know if there's a situation."

After that, Wu Zhi took the lead in climbing the hillside, and then Hu Sanniang followed closely and walked towards the top of the mountain.

And Wu Song went in the other direction.

But they had not been gone long before they noticed someone following them.

"Stop!"

Wu Zhi immediately stopped vigilantly and shouted at the person who came up with him.

The man seemed cautious and did not dare to venture out.

"Leave him alone, keep going."

Wu Zhi nodded and motioned to Hu Sanniang, and he continued to go up the mountain.

Not long after the two of them walked, they saw several houses on the mountainside, surrounded by vines, which looked very desolate and had no lights inside.

It seems like it's been a long time since it was uninhabited.

Out of prudence, Wu Zhi and Hu Sanniang waited for a while before carefully bypassing the vines and entering the house.

When he entered the house, he found that it was empty.

There is no extra furniture except for tables, chairs and benches, and even the walls are made of black limestone.

"How can there be no one? Where have all the people who live here gone? ”

Wu Zhi and Hu Sanniang glanced at each other, but they didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, their eyes were drawn to a shabby cloak in the corner, grayish-brown and looking a little old.

Underneath the cloak was a piece of worn-out rice paper, which was blank and not a word was written.

"What's that?"

Wu Zhi couldn't help but crouch down, wanting to uncover it.

However, the moment his fingers touched the paper, a strong vibration struck.

Wu Zhi felt that his hands were in pain as if they were roasted by fire, and subconsciously withdrew his hand, and then glanced at it, not knowing it, and being startled when he saw it.

Fortunately, I was fast enough just now, if it was a little later, my whole arm might have been burned!

"How so?"

Wu Zhi muttered with palpitations.

This tattered piece of rice paper was even hotter than the palm of his hand, like a piece of red-hot iron.

This situation made Wu Zhi doubt his eyes.

"Why is this happening?"

Hu Sanniang also had the same confusion in her heart.

After thinking about it, she still made a suggestion, "No matter what, let's get out of here, this hellish place is too evil!" ”
