The shopkeeper saw Xie Xuan's reaction, asked them to sit down, and then slowly explained what happened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It turned out that one day about half a month ago, a few people suddenly disappeared in Liuli City, their families searched everywhere to no avail, although the others sympathized, but they didn't care much about themselves, and the next day, a few more people disappeared, which caused some people in the city to be uneasy. From that day until now, every day there will be a few people in the city missing, these people are some children and virgin young girls, this time the city people are panicked, every family is afraid that their children will disappear inexplicably, so every day when the sun has not set, they will return home early and close the door. But until now, it is unknown how those children and girls disappeared.

"Could it be that if such a big thing happens, the government doesn't care?" Xie Xuan asked as he looked at the shopkeeper.

"I don't care, but it's useless, I've been checking for several days, and I still don't have a clue, and it's said that even the yamen has lost a lot of maids. The shopkeeper replied.

After listening to this, Xie Xuan and the others chatted casually and returned to the room.

"Xie Xuan, this matter is too strange, I can't find out why, could it be that there really is a ghost?" Sima Mo asked in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's said that there can't be ghosts, there must be someone making trouble in the dark, it seems that we have to find a way to find out. ”

After hearing this, Sima Mo nodded reluctantly, and then the two fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the city resumed its lively scene, with stalls set up and performers shouting and drinking, as if the scene of everyone in danger had never happened last night. Xie Xuan and Sima Mo were also strolling on the street at this time, they went to those remote alleys, hoping to find some clues, but they walked all morning but found nothing, just when the two of them were depressed and wanted to go to lunch, suddenly rushed from the corner of the street A girl with a panicked face rushed over, followed by four strong men, chasing and shouting at her to stop.

Xie Xuan saw that this girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with short ear-length hair, handsome facial features, and a delicate face.

Xie Xuan and the others saw her running towards them, and hurriedly turned sideways to give way, but they didn't expect the girl to stop when she ran to the two of them, grabbed Xie Xuan's arm and made a face at the strong men.

"Hmph, come here! These are my two elder brothers, they are both chivalrous, and I will be careful of your life when I come here!" said the girl, looking at the strong men, her voice as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell in the wind.

Xie Xuan didn't know what the situation was, so he hugged his fists at the strong men and asked, "A few good men, I don't know what you are doing?"

"This little girl ate the overlord meal in our restaurant, ordered a large table of dishes, and said that she had a stomachache after eating, and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but fortunately we noticed her a long time ago!"

After hearing this, Xie Xuan thought to himself that this girl was obviously unreasonable, how could there be a reason in the world to eat and drink for nothing? I just wanted to push her away, but when I turned around, I happened to see the girl looking at her with an aggrieved face, with tears in her two big eyes, and she was pitiful. Xie Xuan was stunned, his heart softened, and he sighed and looked at the strong men again.

"A few heroes, I wonder how much silver taels she ate?"

"Twenty taels in total!"

Xie Xuan took out forty taels of silver from his sleeve, handed it to the four people, and said, "These silver should be regarded as the food money paid for her, please go back." ”

The four strong men saw Xie Xuan's generous move, and thought that his identity should be unusual, so they didn't care anymore, and left after giving a salute with their fists.

Xie Xuan shook off the woman's hand, looked at her and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Haha, my name is Ye Ling, you can just call me Xiao Yezi! Hey, big brother, I was just thinking about whether your hair is real? Why is it white?"

After Ye Ling finished speaking, she reached out to touch Xie Xuan's hair, but Xie Xuan grabbed her wrist all of a sudden.

"Ahh

"Don't do anything, I don't know you at all. ”

Xie Xuan said, and Sima Mo prepared to leave, but the two had just walked a short distance, and when they turned around, they found that Ye Ling was following them, so they turned around and said, "What do you want to do?

"Hehe, big brother, I'm alone, I don't have any money on me, you are rich and handsome, will I be okay with you in the future? I can help you wash your clothes!" Ye Ling said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xie Xuan and Sima Mo looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, ignoring her and continuing to leave.

But now Ye Ling was in a hurry, stomped her feet and said with a crying voice: "You can take me with you! When I was a child, I was sold here as a maid, and the owner of that family was very fierce, so I finally ran out, and I didn't want to be arrested again! Big deal, I promise to do you a favor!"

When Xie Xuan and Sima Mo heard Ye Ling say this, they suddenly stopped, turned their heads and looked at her with a smile and walked over.

"Ahh What are you doing? I'm not the kind of person you think!Don't mess around!" Ye Ling said as she put her hands on her chest and watched Xie Xuan and the others retreat uncontrollably.

"Hey, where do you want to go, Xiao Yezi, you mean that if we take you to play, you will do us a favor, right?" Sima Mo said.

"Hmm... yes, but I'm not going to sell myself!"

"Who said you sold yourself? We just want you to walk around the city at night. Sima Mo said.

"At night, that's not good! Who doesn't know the strange things in this city, I don't want to disappear for no reason!" Ye Ling said in horror.

"Forget it, let's go. ”

"No! Don't go!" Ye Ling thought for a while after speaking, and then said as if she had made a decision: "Okay then! As long as you let me follow you in the future, I will go around at night, but you have to protect me!"

Xie Xuan and the others were overjoyed after hearing this, and they all nodded in agreement: "No problem! We will definitely protect you secretly and ensure that you are safe!"

In this way, the three of them returned to the inn first, ready to explore the strange things in the city again in the evening.

It's another day when the sun sets, and the people on the street still return to their homes early, and the streets that were lively a moment ago are quiet and quiet, making people a little depressed. Xie Xuan and the three of them waited in the inn for more than an hour, and when the sky was completely dark, they walked out of the inn gate and came to the street.

Xie Xuan let Ye Ling go in front, and he and Sima Mo followed far away in the dark corner, always maintaining a distance of more than ten zhang. The three of them wandered around the street until midnight, and Ye Ling was sleepy and tired at this time, feeling that her leg was about to break.

"Really, I knew I wouldn't agree to help anything, I'm tired to death! The people in this city are really, what's so strange? It's all about scaring yourself!" Ye Ling muttered to herself as she walked.

Xie Xuan and Sima Mo were also uncomfortable in the back, not only did they accompany Ye Ling for so long, but they also had to pay attention not to expose themselves at all times, but after observing for so long, there was not a trace of wind and grass around, and they couldn't help but be puzzled.

Just when the three of them were about to lose their patience, suddenly a shadow appeared on the wall behind Ye Ling, which looked particularly abrupt on the empty street. Ye Ling walked in front and didn't notice it, but Xie Xuan and Sima Mo saw it clearly, they followed the shadow and looked at the opposite corner, only to see a masked man in black standing there, the two of them just wanted to rush over, only to see the figure in black disappear from the spot, and the next moment, he appeared next to Ye Ling, took out a hemp bag and put it on her, and then carried it on his shoulder and walked away with light skills. A series of movements were performed in the blink of an eye, and it was evident that he was extremely proficient.

"Ah, Brother Xie, come and save me!"

Ye Ling struggled desperately in the sack, but before she could struggle a few times, she felt someone slash on the back of her head, so she fainted.

"How about it? I'll just say there's no ghost, right?" Xie Xuan said, staring at the man in black.

Subsequently, Xie Xuan and Sima Mo quickly used light skills to chase after them, but they still kept a distance from the man in black, they felt that this man in black was just one of the people in this incident, and there must be a bigger gang behind it, so there was no need to startle the snake now, as long as they followed him, they could find the source.

Sure enough, as Xie Xuan expected, a few people ran wildly for a pillar of incense with light skills, and the man in black finally stopped in front of a cave in the suburbs, he looked back and looked around, but didn't find Xie Xuan and the others, so he hurriedly walked in with Ye Ling in the sack.

"Looks like this is the old lair of the man in black, let's go in and have a look. ”

After Xie Xuan finished speaking, the two took out their respective weapons and walked towards the cave, they found that the place where this cave was located was really secret, the entrance of the cave could only allow one person to pass through, it was very narrow, and it was surrounded by weeds growing in a mess, if it wasn't for the man in black to enter, he might not be able to find this cave.

When the two entered the cave, they found that it was very deep, and after walking for half a pillar of incense, the area slowly became spacious, and the more they walked inside, the wider it became, and finally they found themselves in a huge stalactite cave. Sima Mo looked around, and just wanted to speak, but Xie Xuan covered his mouth all of a sudden, and then he followed Xie Xuan's eyes, only to see two black-clothed people coming out of the passage not far ahead.

"You kid can, the little girl I caught just now is so beautiful, if you can find such a wife, this life is worth living, haha!"
