"Gone? I told him to lie down before coming out. When Zhou Da heard this, he rushed into the room and found that the bed was empty except for the quilt that had been lifted.

Zhou Ying'er was obviously in a hurry, and turned the small house inside and out, but found nothing. hurriedly grabbed Zhou Da again, "Dad, how can you say he won't see him!"

"Don't worry, he's probably gone. ”

Zhou Ying'er became even more anxious when she heard this, let go of Zhou Da and ran out. Just ran out of the door, and turned back in a blink of an eye, "Dad, can you let everyone help find it?" Brother Bai is the lifesaver of our entire village!" Although she was a little anxious to speak, Zhou Ying'er was slowly calming down.

"Okay, okay, I'll call someone to find it right away. Zhou Da also adhered to his medical ethics of always being responsible for patients, and immediately put down the teacup, "By the way, you are thinking about it carefully, where will he go if he is unfamiliar with life this big night?"

Zhou Ying'er's eyes lit up, "Yes, there is only the Land Temple." Dad, you look around first, and I'll go to the Land Temple. He hurriedly ran out of the village, and in the dark night, he rushed towards the Land Temple on this main road that had been walked countless times in recent days.

At this time, the temple was brightly lit and bandits were entrenched. More than a dozen thieves crowded the land temple, all around a fire, and also lit the few oil lamps in the temple that still had a little oil, illuminating the whole house, and the fire shone on the land statue, reflecting the expression of the land father-in-law, which was a little distorted and terrifying.

But the bandits didn't care, and they seemed to be discussing what was happening during the day:

"Tell me, how have you ever encountered such a strange thing before? A hairy boy scared the big boss like that?"

"Don't say it, this kid is really evil! You didn't see it when you walked behind, I kept following the big boss, and the big boss's face turned white at that time, and it was only after leaving the village that he came to our riverside post station that he was relieved! But it frightened us. ”

"Seventh brother, the big boss asked us to be here just to find out the news of that kid?"

The bearded bandit who was called Seventh Brother was the only one lying down and talking in the middle of the fire, and the people on both sides also gave him more space, preferring to huddle with a dozen people to show respect for him. Seventh Brother finally spoke:

"The big boss said that it can't be just left at that. That kid can't be powerful, but he is not from Shangjiang Village, so he can't stay in the village all the time. As soon as we see him leave the village, we will go into the village, cut down the old thing of the Zhou family, hehe, and then take our future sister-in-law back to the village!"

While saying that, the people present began to squeeze their eyebrows, laugh for a while, and even make up the candles in the cave room of the big boss and sister-in-law............

While mocking and laughing, the broken temple door was pushed open, and an evil wind poured in, and the door leaf was blown back and forth, making a numbing "creaking" sound. This also immediately aroused the alarm of everyone in the temple, and just as they were about to draw their swords and turn around, they saw the figure of the petite and delicate girl......

The moment Zhou Ying'er rushed into the door, she saw a thief holding a steel knife and smiling obscenely. The delicate face slowly faded into a rosy face, and the big eyes full of stars did not blink. A whim, but in exchange for endless fear......

In the village, Zhou Da has led people to search all over the village, and Bai Yilan still hasn't been found, but he hasn't given up until he finds it until the middle of the night. Zhou Da also returned home and prepared to wait for his daughter to bring good news. But after sitting at home for a long time, he never saw his daughter, and Zhou Da thought that his daughter might have found Bai Yilan and the two would not be in any danger together, so he didn't worry too much.

Zhou Da sat at home until dawn, and his daughter did not return overnight, which made him nervous. So I made other associations, maybe something happened to my daughter. The more Zhou Da thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, and he didn't have time to rest before he went to the Land Temple.

By the time Zhou reached the Land Temple, there was only a pile of burning wood ashes left in the temple. At this time, he was completely panicked in his heart, and there was nothing more important than this precious daughter who had been holding it in the palm of his hand for sixteen years. Even if Zhou Da is upright and resolute on weekdays, people will eventually have weaknesses.

He hurriedly returned to the village, and with the help of the village chief, he gathered the entire village to look for Zhou Ying'er's whereabouts along the riverside. Hundreds of families in the entire village gave up a day's work and searched for a whole day in an area of more than ten miles, but found nothing. In the evening, Zhou Da and several people who had a say in the village gathered at the village chief's house.

The atmosphere was very heavy, Zhou Da rubbed his eyes vigorously, he hadn't slept all night, and now he was extremely tired, but he always insisted that he couldn't rest if he didn't find his daughter. The village chief also sighed while trying to find a way, "Now Jiang has searched all over the place, but it is impossible for her little girl to run too far in a day............"

"I've found it on this side of the river, but what about the other side of the river?" Zhou Da obviously couldn't give up any possible place.

"Uncle Zhou, you're crazy! The other side is the territory of Shangjiang Water Village. You can't afford to lose the whole village for your daughter. This uncomfortable voice came from Sister-in-law Liu, who was in the way before, she was notoriously bitter and mean in Shangjiang Village, and the principle of being a man is: nothing to do with herself, talking nonsense.

The others had become accustomed to her antagonistic personality and didn't pay much attention to it. But they still couldn't make up their minds, and several people negotiated for another night............

Zhou Da, who had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, set off early in the morning to pack up the boat and prepare to cross the river to the other side. After all, Zhou Da has been dealing with the river all the year round, and when he found that there was something abnormal in the water, he wanted to get closer and find out. He slowly bent down, getting closer and closer to the water, and felt very strange that this was something that had never been done before. Just when he was about to take off his shoes and jump into the river to find the answer, the bubbles became bigger and bigger, and then there was a large range of splashes, Zhou Da hurriedly retreated, but his eyes were fixed on the water. After staring for a while, a figure jumped up from the river and landed on the sandy bank, its hair scattered, still gasping......

"Yes...... Is that you?" When Zhou Da saw his fair and delicate face after being washed by the river, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, even if his lips were purple, he couldn't hide the rare handsome image in the world. Watching him get up slowly, this seven-foot figure was exactly the same as two days ago. The majestic figure who rescued the whole village......

"You're Ying'er's father, I'm sorry, I was angry and delirious. I was afraid of hurting the villagers, so I left alone. Bai Yilan saw Zhou Da who was stunned in front of him. Explains:

"I've been in the water for the past two days, using the cold of the river to suppress my mood, which shortens the time to recover my mind............"

Zhou Da seemed to see a life-saving straw, and hurriedly grabbed Bai Yilan and went to the village to discuss with the village chief. As soon as he walked two steps, he saw the village chief and a few young and strong villagers hurrying over. When the two parties met, Bai Yilan, who had just been troubled by demons, had not yet figured out the situation, so he turned his head and asked Zhou Da: "Uncle Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

The village chief didn't have time to answer Bai Yilan, pointed in the direction of the village entrance, and gasped: "Go up...... Shangjiang Water Village...... Someone is coming......" Bai Yilan didn't care about the others when he heard this, and rushed to the front towards the entrance of the village......

Zhou Da then followed and arrived at the entrance of the village one after another. There were a lot of people around the entrance of the village, but there was no trace of the bandits, and the villagers saw Zhou Da coming and hurriedly rushed up.

"Uncle Zhou, something happened, Ying'er was arrested by Jiang Shanglong to be the lady of the village! Those two people came to inform you just now......" Zhou Da was already on the verge of collapse, and now the news is more like killing his last hope, and before anyone could finish speaking, Zhou Da was already so angry that he fainted......

For a while, the whole village was panicked, and the village chief felt even more ashamed, and he was also sick and wheezing, and was finally carried back by his family. Because the blow of the matter was too big, no one paid attention to Bai Yilan's movements.

After he asked where the bandit went, he followed all the way, walking more than ten miles of official roads, only to see the bandit stop at a thatched hut post station, and then under the arrangement of the post station owner, take a boat to cross the river......

Seeing the bandit walking away, Bai Yilan also went into the water and swam to the other side with him. Halfway through the swim he saw the bandits dock and tie up the boat, find an entrance in the reeds all over the ground, and then sink their whole body into the reeds and disappear......

Bai Yilan also swam to the shore at a faster speed, found the trampled and broken reed poles near the parked boat, and then found some clues to find the entrance. On rainy days, the ground is slippery, and the footprints left are more obvious. Bai Yilan said that the footprints were shuttling back and forth among the reeds, and the path was very tortuous. If there is no one to lead, no one will definitely be able to find an exit, which is also the natural barrier of Shangjiang Water Village. Although the protection of the water village has been cleared by officers and soldiers every year, it is still rampant.

After about half an hour in the reeds, I finally saw the exit, but it was extremely open outside the exit, Bai Yilan hid in the reeds, carefully picking up the reeds in the front. Beyond the reeds, there was a very open swamp, with only three boardwalks as passages, and the rest of the place was shallow and submerged into the horses' hooves, and deep enough to submerge the whole person. It is completely impossible to make ordinary people pass.

Bai Yilan's gaze was further ahead, and there was a dense forest again, and there was a checkpoint set up by bandits in front of the forest, even the person who had just delivered the letter had to show something at the checkpoint to enter the forest. Bai Yilan deduced that Shangjiang Water Village was in that forest. But instead of making a rash move, he marked his way back the way he came, and tied a cloth belt to a hidden place at the entrance......

Swimming back to the other side of the river, he thoroughly investigated the post station and returned to Shangjiang Village to discuss the long term......
