Seeing Wu Zheng's movements, Tie Ning suddenly had a feeling that the most precious thing in his life was about to be snatched away, and his body, which was still very weak, shook twice involuntarily, and almost collapsed on the ground.

It's just that Wu Zheng, who had been running rapidly along the bottom of the valley for only a dozen steps, suddenly stopped, quickly turned around and returned to Tie Ning's side, and bent down to hold Tie Ning in his arms.

Mistakenly thinking that Wu Zheng was going to carry himself down the mountain together, Tie Ning struggled a little, and said:

"Wu Zheng, let me down. ”

Deep in his heart, Tie Ning was very resistant to seeing Qinglian, a girl who was calling "Qiu Zheng" under the mountain. Yes, it is Qinglian, because with the unique intuition of a girl, Tie Ning has already heard it, and the shout just now came from the mouth of the twelve or thirteen-year-old, sweet-looking girl who was washing clothes yesterday.

"Auntie, don't speak. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Zheng gave a solemn command, and then raised his foot to use the ground to roast the hare, and trampled on the ashes that had not been completely burned out, and then turned around and ran towards the mountain.

"Wu Zheng, ...... you?"

Wu Zheng's actions made Tie Ning feel very weird, although Wu Zheng had already told him not to speak, he still couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Qinglian can't find this place alone. ”

When Tie Ning heard this, he was immediately alert.

Sure enough, the shouting from the bottom of the mountain had changed.

"Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng, did you hear that?"

Although it was still Qinglian's voice, it made Wu Zheng even more suspicious.

Qinglian can call out her real name, and she can only know it from one person, and that is Zhen Yu'er.

First of all, two days ago, the spy on Liufu was dumped by Wu Gan in the backyard of Zhen Qingshen's house, and strayed into Yu'er's boudoir, which already made Wu Zheng more and more suspicious that it was no coincidence. Then, yesterday morning, he came out of the mysterious secret passage in the Liufu Water Prison and entered Yu'er's boudoir again, which strengthened Wu Zheng's suspicion of Yu'er's identity in his heart.

So after only running a dozen steps just now, Wu Zheng suddenly became alert in his heart, and then suddenly stopped.

When Wu Zheng hugged Tie Ning, climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, and hid in the dense bushes to secretly look down the mountain, he really found that Qinglian still had Zhen Yuer by her side.

Combing through what happened in the last few days again, Wu Zheng is basically sure that Zhen Yu'er should be the sword-wielding girl who appeared in Liufu at the same time as himself on the night two days ago. That is, what Liu Shiqing said in his mouth, the descendant of Huatoutuo in the Western Regions. In this way, Wu Gan should also be inextricably linked with Huatoutuo.

Wu Zheng can now guess that the secret passage leading to the Liufu Water Prison in Zhen Yu'er's boudoir should be inseparable from Wu Gan, and nine times out of ten it was dug up in order to get the so-called "Jade, Female Heart, and Sutra" on Liu Shiqing's body.

That is to say, on the night two days ago, Wu Gan threw himself into the backyard of Zhen's house, and the window sash that Zhen Yuer seemed to open quietly should have been intentional, the purpose was to create an opportunity for Zhen Yuer to get close to him.

If you continue to think about it, not only on the night of August 15 last year, the person who gave two consecutive warnings in Houpo Village must have been Wu Gan. Moreover, the one who appeared in Causeway City and found it in Duan's shopkeeper's bookstore on the day of the release of the list, a fleeting and familiar figure, must also be Wu Gan.

Why, why did Wu Gan follow him all the way?

Why did you save yourself twice in a row?

Why did you let Zhen Yuer take the initiative to approach herself?

Once all the clues come together, the answer comes out.

Except for the "Nine Styles of Lingxiao" found in the pit below the ancestral tomb of the Wu family, Wu Zheng couldn't think of any other reason.

From this, it is not difficult to conclude that yesterday morning, in the mountains and fields outside the eastern city of Shuntian City, what Wu Gan used to exchange for "Jade, Female Heart, and Sutra" in Liu Shiqing's hand must have been only an incomplete version of "Lingxiao Nine Styles".

Since Wu Gan had already discovered the pit, why didn't he copy it all? Could it be that he deliberately deceived Liu Shiqing?

It shouldn't be, Wu Zheng thought to himself, if Wu Gan had already obtained all the "Lingxiao Nine Styles" exercise formulas, there would be no need to follow him all the way to Shuntian City. If he just didn't want others to get "Lingxiao Nine Styles", Wu Gan could have killed himself, and there were countless opportunities like that, including when he was in Houpo Village, he could do it.

At this point, Wu Zheng also began to suspect that an accident must have happened in the pothole after he escaped from Wujiabao. Otherwise, not only did Wu Gan not need to follow him, but even Wujiabao and Liulinbao didn't have to go to great lengths to catch themselves.

"Wu Zheng, who is the other girl?"

"She should be one of the protagonists of the recent burglaries in Suncheon City. ”

"One?"

"Yes, there must be one or two more people. ”

Wu Zheng can be sure that Zhen Yuer alone can't do it, there must be Wu Gan or others to help.

The reason why there are other people besides Wu Gan is because when Wu Gan followed him all the way to Suncheon City, the theft had already happened for more than a month. At that time, Wu Gan should still be in Causeway City, or on his way here.

"Do you want to meet Qinglian?"

Although he asked, he was very apprehensive in his heart.

"Not for the time being, or you'll be in trouble. ”

"So what do we do?"

"Gotta get out of here right away. ”

Tie Ning's heart finally let go for the time being.

"Let me go and let me go on my own. ”

Wu Zheng didn't seem to hear Tie Ning's words, but instead hugged her arms tightly, turned around and bent over, and walked in the opposite direction.

After turning over the two mountains in one breath, and estimating that it was nearly twenty miles away from the hidden valley where he had spent the night, Wu Zheng dared to stop and rest for a while.

Along the way, although Tie Ning repeated it twice and asked Wu Zheng to let her down, Wu Zheng never agreed.

Feeling the sweat from Wu Zheng's body, soaked through the clothes of the two, Tie Ning's heart became softer and softer, and it hurt more and more. I don't know how many times, I took the initiative to raise my hand and wipe the beads of sweat rolling off my cheeks for Wu Zheng.

"It's me dragging you down again. ”

Facing Tie Ning's words full of self-blame, Wu Zheng said in a slightly low voice:

"Auntie, I don't have any other relatives in this world. ”

What do you mean, is Wu Zheng saying that he already regards himself as his only relative?!

Suddenly, a shyness, a warm feeling filled his heart, Tie Ning leaned on Wu Zheng's side, looked up and looked at it stupidly for a long time, until he felt that his cheeks were hot, and then he turned his head to look into the distance.

After resting for half an hour, Wu Zheng picked up Tie Ning again, but was stopped by Tie Ning.

"Wu Zheng, it's better to carry me on your back. ”

Tie Ning didn't know that it was much easier to walk on his back than to walk with him. It's just that the physical contact when the back is on the back will be a little more embarrassing for the two teenagers and boys. But now he couldn't care about embarrassment or embarrassment, so Tie Ning took the initiative to bring it up.

Without using the rope again, Wu Zheng squatted down and hugged Tie Ning's two jade legs that naturally stretched from his waist to the front with his backhand, and Tie Ning also hugged Wu Zheng's neck hard, so that the speed of travel was nearly twice as fast as just now.
