Chapter 356: Lying
The last family is the first one in the village, and it is also the one where Li Ge and Hanyan live. At this time, Meng Daniu, the head of the family, was pondering with his wife in the house about why it was raining so heavily and why Li Ge and Hanyan had not returned, Zehong, who was dressed in green shirts, stood outside the gate of his house in the rain.
"Hello, excuse me. Standing outside the gate of Meng Daniu's house, Zehong politely greeted Meng Daniu and his wife in the house.
Seeing Ze Hong who suddenly appeared, Meng Da Niu and his wife hurriedly got up, walked to the gate, and stared at Ze Hong, who was already soaked, and then Meng Wife said, "You are passing by our village from other places, it's raining so heavily, come into the house and talk about it." ”
"You don't have to, I still have something urgent, so I won't go in. Zehong replied with a smile, and then said, "Dare to ask if there is a young couple in your village passing by here?"
"Young couple?" Hearing Ze Hong's words, Meng Daniu thought to himself that this person should be asking Li Ge and Hanyan. Just as he was about to open his mouth to respond, his wife suddenly pinched him the back, interrupting his words that he wanted to speak.
"Young couple, dare to ask when the couple you mentioned passed by our village?" After pinching her husband, Meng's wife looked at Zehong and asked.
"It's probably yesterday, or maybe it's today, I wonder if you've seen it?" Zehong said in a very earnest tone.
"Are you talking about a handsome boy in white and a beautiful woman in a pink dress?"
"Yes, yes, it's them, do you know where they are now?" After listening to Meng's wife's words, Zehong showed a strange smile that flashed on his face, and asked in a very eager tone.
"I did meet the young couple you mentioned yesterday afternoon, I wonder what you have to do with them?" Seeing the flash smile on Zehong's face, Mrs. Meng asked curiously.
"Well, that's infuriating. Hearing this, Zehong sighed, and then said helplessly, "That's right, the woman in the pink dress you saw yesterday is my sister, and the man in white is an evil Taoist. The evil road passed by my house, and when I saw my sister, I became greedy, and used magic to confuse her, and ran away, and in desperation, I came out to look for it, and now I found it. ”
"This person must be lying, the girl with smoke said that she and Brother Li Ge are sisters and brothers, even if they are not, Brother Li Ge is not like an evil Taoist who abducted Sister Hanyan. After listening to what Zehong said, Meng's wife thought secretly in her heart, then glanced at her husband, then stood at the gate and raised her hand to point in the direction of the end of the village, and said, "Yesterday, when it was getting dark, I did see them, the white-clothed son seemed to be injured, and he was also supported by the woman in pink along the way, they went in that direction, and I don't know if they are still in our village, or you go to ask the people at the other end of the village, maybe they will take your little sister and the evil Taoist priest behind." ”
"Did you go to that end when it was dark yesterday?" After hearing this, Zehong nodded suspiciously, then stood in front of the gate of the Meng family and thought about it, and then said a word of farewell to Meng Daniu and his wife, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the end of the village.
Zehong did not doubt what Meng's wife said, because he was confident that he would definitely not doubt what he said, and he just inquired about the whereabouts of Li Ge and the others, and expected that the other party would not lie to him.
"Did they pass by here before it got dark yesterday?hmph~ Although I didn't find you, I now know where you are. Zehong, who was walking in the rain, muttered to himself, and at that moment the man named Bo Xi trotted out to the road from a house on the side of the road.
"Uncle Zehong, I've inquired about all the houses here, but they haven't seen the two people you mentioned. Walking up to Zehong, the old man named Bo Xi said helplessly.
"Let's go, Bershi, I've inquired clearly, the two of them should have crossed the Meng River before it got dark yesterday. Zehong glanced at his nephew beside him, and then said, "I remember that there is a dense jungle on the other side of the Meng River, and behind the jungle is a large mountain, and behind the mountain seems to be the Lingqu River under your master's jurisdiction, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Zehong. After hearing this, the old man hurriedly nodded respectfully in response.
"Alright, Birch, you should rush to the Lingqu River now, inform your master of my search, and let him pay attention to the people I am talking about, and if he meets them, he will arrest them directly. And I will go to the jungle and mountains over there to look for the traces of those two now, and finally go to the Lingqu River to meet your master. Zehong opened his mouth and said his next plan.
"In that case, then I will pay a visit to Uncle Zehong here, and now I will rush to the Lingqu River. The old man saluted Zehong respectfully, and then separated from Zehong and hurried to the river where his master was. Zehong, on the other hand, crossed the Meng River and burrowed into the jungle on the other side of the Meng River.
When Zehong and Bo Xi left, the dark clouds above Menghe Village also dissipated, and Menghe Village, which was still pouring rain one moment, returned to clear skies the next moment.
"Lady, look, it's strange, how can you stop this rain?" Meng Daniu, the first in the village, saw that the rain outside the house suddenly stopped, and said with a puzzled face.
"yes, it's really weird to stop when you say stop. Meng's wife opened her mouth to agree, reached out and patted her husband's body gently, and asked, "Xianggong, did you say that the person who came to inquire about Hanyan Sister and Li Ge's little brother just now is a bad person?"
"Bad guys? I don't know, but what he said wasn't true, and I don't think he's a good guy. It's good that you stopped me just now, otherwise I would have told him about Leege's whereabouts. Meng Daniu laughed innocently.
"You just don't have a brain. Seeing her husband's expression, Meng's wife stretched out her hand to discuss it between her husband's forehead, and then said, "By the way, where did they go, Hanyan girl, they didn't come back after such a heavy rain just now." ”
Just when Meng Daniu and his wife were wondering where Li Ge and the others went, in the countryside next to Menghe Village, Li Ge and Hanyan both looked at the dark clouds dispersed over the village with puzzled expressions.
"Senior Brother Li, that monster should be gone. After watching suspiciously for a while, when the dark clouds over the village had dispersed, Hanyan opened his mouth and whispered.
"I guess so. Li Ge retracted his gaze and glanced at Hanyan, and said, "Let's go, Senior Sister Hanyan, let's go back." Then the two of them stepped on the field road and walked towards the entrance of Menghe Village.
