Chapter 25: Fear

Yang Nianhua has a powerful occult technique of manipulating flames, and at the same time he awakens, he has a fifth-order cultivation, and he has been promoted to the ninth order after three years of cultivation, and he is about to step into the realm of knowing micro, and his strength is beyond doubt.

The fact is not that Yang Nianhua's flame is not powerful, but that the peach pit is extremely resistant to fire.

Shen Zhiwei closed his eyes and found the peach pit in the world of consciousness without accident.

It was alive, covered with a layer of faint blue fire, and in the flame was a black scaleless snake carved like a gemstone, a hundred times more beautiful than the gray scaleless snake that Shen Zhiwei had seen.

Suddenly, the black-scaled snake opened its scarlet eyes and catapulted towards her.

"Poof!"

Shen Zhiwei's mind moved, and the black-scaled snake splattered into countless drops of fishy and slippery liquid like an exploding water ball, and disappeared into the world of consciousness.

The peach pit melts into a puddle of black water that seeps into the dirt.

Shen He didn't notice the change in the peach pit.

He had never seen a living person burned to ashes, and he was afraid in his heart, and he just wanted to leave for Anying City immediately.

His slightly trembling hand fell on Shen Zhiwei's shoulder, like an unsteady decoration, and his voice was a little shrill and thin: "Three, three, let's go home." ”

"Big brother. ”

Shen Zhiwei was a little dissatisfied.

She stood up, pointed to the blossoming peach blossom forest, and said in a factual tone: "Uncle Zheng is trapped inside, and we have to save him." This peach blossom forest is not large, and each person cuts down a few trees, so it doesn't take much time. ”

But I ...... "I'm scared."

Shen He wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that Zheng Sanlang was a confidant who had followed Shen Yushu for many years, and he was Shen Yushu's eldest son, so he couldn't ignore the other party's life, so he didn't speak again.

Sansan is not afraid, he, as a big brother, can't say that he is afraid.

Xiaoyu wasn't afraid, was he?

Shen He glanced at Xiaoyu, the other party's gaze followed Shen Zhiwei, his face was the same as usual, and he didn't know what fear was at all.

Idiot.

This is a fool.

He came to Shen Zhiwei's side, pulled Shen Zhiwei's sleeve and didn't let go, and surrounded Shen Zhiwei in the middle with Xiaoyu.

The villagers who went to call their friends came to cut down the trees with a large group of people, they didn't know that He Zhuo had been burned to death, and shouted: "Miss, cut down a tree and give a silver coin, isn't it?"

The object of the conversation was Shen Zhiwei, as if he didn't see Xiaoyu and Shen Hepestle there.

Shen Zhiwei said yes.

Someone else asked, "After I cut down the peach trees here, will I get a reward for cutting down the peach trees on the other side of the river?"

Shen Zhiwei said yes.

Everyone was happy, and they flocked to the peach grove to cut down trees.

There were also a few clever people who ran to the river bank with axes, trying to cross the river and cut down the peach forest on the opposite bank.

Shen Zhiwei hurriedly stopped them: "If you don't cut down all the peach trees here, I won't give you money if you cut down a peach forest over there." ”

The peach blossom forest on the right side of Zhuangzi has already eaten several people, and I don't know if I can save it.

In case the peach groves on the other side of the river also like to eat people, and treat these people as blood food, she will have to bear half of the responsibility.

The people were ignorant of the dangers of the peach blossom forest, and they cursed and hurriedly turned back, cutting down the trees with great force, lest they be slower than others.

Shen Zhiwei listened to the aggressive sound of cutting trees, sat on the stool brought by the maid, and while beckoning Shen He and Xiaoyu to eat snacks to suppress the shock, he immersed his hands in the basin brought by the maid to wash away the sweat oozing from the cracks between his fingers and palms.

Shen He was scared, and she was scared too.

What I was afraid of was not He Zhuo being burned to death, it was Zheng Sanlang and the three guards who followed him into the peach forest who died tragically in the forest, it was Xiaoyu and Shen He who gave their lives here, and it was six or seven hundred people in Liuhe Village who were killed by the scaleless gray snake.

If he could, Shen Zhiwei didn't want to meddle in the affairs of Liuxi Village at all.

When she returned to Zhuangzi from the upper reaches of Liuxi, she planned to board the animal cart and leave immediately.

However, Zheng Saburo and the three guards disappeared into the peach blossom forest, and she had no choice but to stand by and watch.

The second pair of hands suddenly reached into the basin, Xiaoyu lowered her head and picked up her left hand, scrubbing intently, her movements were gentle, and her voice was soft: "Sansan, don't be afraid." ”

Washing one hand, he picked up a dry towel, wiped off the water droplets on Shen Zhiwei's hands, and then washed his right hand.

Shen Zhiwei was a little confused.

Xiaoyu: Is this getting back your IQ?

Speak so softly.

If you are ten years older, you are a proper warm man.

Shen He interrupted her thoughts: "Oh, what are you doing? In a hurry to please my sister, who did you learn from the flattery?"

Xiaoyu didn't answer.

Shen Zhiwei didn't speak, picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth.

Regardless of whether Xiaoyu's IQ has recovered or not, she needs to calm down.

The villagers were the main force in cutting down trees, and the slaves of the Grange were responsible for piling up the cut peach trees together and dousing them with fierce fire oil to burn them.

Billowing smoke rose into the air, attracting the elder of Liuxi Village, who was guarding the ancestral hall, who, like He Zhuo, opposed the cutting down of trees.

The villagers didn't listen to the persuasion, and the clan elder found Shen He with a stinky face: "Little boy, what do you mean by this? The peach blossom forest didn't provoke you, what did you order people to do to cut down the peach trees?"

Shen He, who was accused for no reason, looked at Shen Zhiwei silently.

The younger sister ignored him.

The clan elder bent down and glared at him: "Don't look at the little girl, you tell me, why do you want to look at the peach tree? Why didn't he stop you? Ah, is he here? Where has he gone?" Looking up, I couldn't find He Zhuo.

Shen He picked up a plate of dim sum and sent it to the clan elder: "This is a pastry made by my family, you can taste it." ”

"Don't taste it!" said the clan elder angrily, "The doctor said, I can't eat sweet things. ”

"It doesn't matter if you taste it. Shen He thought about how to say that He Zhuo was burned to ashes, "This peach forest is very beautiful, and my sister and I like it too." It's just that Uncle Zheng and the three guards went into the peach blossom forest to look for someone, and they haven't come out yet, so maybe ...... There may have been a danger. ”

"I see, I don't blame you," the patriarch picked up a piece of snack and complained as he ate it, "This pastry is delicious, I like it! The doctor who treated me was a bastard, and he didn't allow me to eat dessert......

"Sir, take it easy, I have something to tell you. Shen Daodao, "He Zhuo is the steward appointed by my mother, but he actually betrayed my mother's trust, secretly filled his pockets, and even wanted to assassinate me and my sister after being exposed, which is a great crime." Fortunately, Aunt Yang stopped him in time, otherwise, my sister and I would have been corpses. ”

"Bang!" the dim sum in the clan elder's hand fell to the ground, and he faced Shen He, "What did you say?"

......

When the clan elder was shocked, Uncle Liang, the second-in-command of the Grange, quietly walked up to Shen Zhiwei, leaned down and said, "Miss, there are four people missing in the Zhuangzi. One is Xiao Chunlan, the maid who followed Master Zheng into the peach blossom forest, the other is He Zhuo's nephew He Xiaoqian, and the other is Zhou Ye'er, the concubine He Zhuo just carried into the door. ”

He paused, and his tone became heavy: "The first person to be found missing was Ah Ming, the youngest son of the cook Widow Zhang, and you were still on the road at the time. Then it was Zhou Ye'er who disappeared, and then He Xiaoqian......"

Shen Zhiwei's heart was also uncomfortable: "In addition, is there anyone missing in Liuxi Village?"

Uncle Liang was thorough in everything and replied, "Yes, it was Erxi who was missing." Someone saw He Xiaoqian coming out of the peach blossom forest, Erxi walked in, and no one saw him come out. Erxi should have disappeared later than Zhou Ye'er, but no one has said clearly who Zhou Ye'er and Ah Ming will not see first. ”

"Tell me what you are saying about them. Are you more familiar with them than I am, do you know where they are similar?" Shen Zhiwei motioned for the servant to add a chair to Uncle Liang.

“...... No. Uncle Liang thought for a while and replied in the affirmative, "There is no similarity." The only similarity is that except for Zhou Ye'er, the four missing Ah Ming have all been in contact with the Peach Blossom Forest. ”

Shen Zhiwei frowned: "Has there ever been a disappearance before?"

Uncle Liang wanted to say no, but the villager who cut down the tree let out a terrible scream at this moment, blocking his answer in his throat.
