Guangming also kicked on the door, and said hatefully: "It's better to set a fire and burn this broken place, and see that they can't get out." ”

As he spoke, he handed the watermelon knife in his left hand, reached into his trouser pocket with his right hand, took a lighter out, lit the fire, but looked at Zhou Huaizhong with both eyes, and just waited for him to nod, and then went to the nearby weeds to set fire.

Zhou Huaizhong hesitated when he heard this. Luo Ci hurriedly stopped: "My sister is still in their hands, what if she is locked up in these houses and is accidentally injured?"

Guangming listened to Luo Ci's words, immediately reacted, and said to himself, "Confused, I only cared about dealing with them, and I forgot Sister Luo Shi, I really shouldn't." He put away the lighter.

Xu Mo suggested, "It's better to go to other places first." ”

Zhou Huaizhong nodded in agreement, and then turned to Guangming and Liangliang, "Xiao Ming, Xiao Liang, you two stay and guard here, don't let these people escape from the house while we are away." ”

Guangliang said: "Teacher Zhou, don't worry, with me and my brother here, no one wants to escape from here." ”

Xu Mo heard Zhou Huaizhong's arrangement, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, thinking: "You are separated, won't you let people break each other?" I wanted to remind him, but then I thought again: "Zhou Huaizhong is so conceited, how can he listen to what he says?" so he couldn't help but say nothing.

He glanced at the three big rooms and thought, "The lock is locked from the outside, and there may not be any of them in the room, but the people they kidnapped are most likely locked inside." ”

I had the intention to say hello outside, but I felt that since those people were locked inside, they must have lost their ability to act a long time ago, and if they greeted themselves, they had no way to respond, but they might alarm other people.

So nothing was done.

At this time, Zhou Huaizhong had already taken the lead, walked to the outside of the courtyard, passed through the arch, turned straight to the left, a large area on the left side of the backyard was full of deep weeds, and they couldn't find the road, so everyone had to walk through the weeds.

This weed covers an area of about 1,000 square meters. When I finally got out of the weeds, I saw several tin houses connected together in the clearing, with only one outer door.

There was also a lock on the door, Zhou Huaizhong smashed the lock open, and the door was also blocked inside, unable to be pushed open. Zhou Huaizhong was angry and angry, and kicked the door several times.

The location of this tin house is close to the edge of the outer courtyard wall, and further on, it is clear at a glance that there are no other buildings.

Zhou Huaizhong had no choice but to take the team and return the same way, searching the other side of the backyard, which was full of shrubs and weeds. On the contrary, at the back of the backyard, all the way forward, there was another gate on the side of the courtyard wall, which led to the back mountain.

The back mountain was full of trees, and Zhou Huaizhong led everyone to search the entire mountain, but he didn't find anything else abnormal. Although there were still peaks connected to Jingnu Peak in the distance, he didn't have the heart to run to see it because it was too far away.

However, on the edge of the cliff in the back mountain, Xu Mo saw the waterfall, which is the so-called Jingnu Hair Waterfall.

The waterfall originates in the middle of the mountainside, into a waterhole under the cliff, the sound is very great, standing on the top of the cliff, you can hear the rumbling sound of water, look down at the Lu, only to see a silver-white drooping down to the extreme depths, making people unconsciously dizzy.

The waterfall falls in the waterhole, stirring up layers of water vapor, so that the vicinity of the cliff seems to be shrouded in a hazy mist.

Xu Mo looked at this waterfall and thought about it, until Luo Ci greeted him, he reacted and followed everyone back.

Everyone returned to the backyard, the Guang brothers came forward, and Guangming asked first: "Teacher Zhou, how is it? Did you find anything?" He saw Zhou Huaizhong's angry expression, and he had already vaguely guessed the result, but he still couldn't help asking.

Zhou Huaizhong said hatefully: "Damn, after looking for so long, it's all in vain, but fortunately, it can finally be determined that those people must be hiding in this courtyard and the tin house over there." ”

"Tin House?" Guangliang asked suspiciously.

Quiet explained, "On the other side of the yard...", he said and reached out and pointed in the direction of the tin house, "... There were several tin houses, like here, which were blocked inside. ”

"Then what shall we do?" Guangliang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you get together, or do you divide into two groups and keep one place?" ”

Zhou Huaizhong waved his hand and gritted his teeth and said: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, this courtyard is big, let's guard it here, they have the ability, it's best not to come out for the rest of their lives." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Okay, okay, leave them alone, take out the things, and let's eat." ”

Xu Mo stood in the courtyard in a daze, a little distracted, just now out of the back door, when he searched in the back mountain, the feeling that something was wrong at first actually disappeared, but this time, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, the feeling of something wrong immediately returned to his body.

The feeling was so strong that he could feel it when he reached out and grabbed it, but he still couldn't tell what was wrong.

Hearing Zhou Huaizhong shouting to go over for dinner, he had to shake his head and put his thoughts aside for the time being, not thinking about it.

And when they had eaten, they stayed in the courtyard and waited all the time. But the afternoon passed slowly, and at night, there was still nothing unusual in the three large houses.

Xu Mo looked at the sky, his heart was uneasy, he glanced at Luo Ci, Luo Ci understood, and said to Zhou Huaizhong: "Cousin, it's getting dark, let's... Shall we go back and come back tomorrow?"

She has always been in awe of Zhou Huaizhong, and she obviously has no confidence in speaking.

Zhou Huaizhong glared at her when he heard this, and said unhappily: "What I am waiting for is night, and before night, how can these ghosts and ghosts be willing to come out? Go back! Don't you save your sister?" He was impulsive, and the tone of his speech to his niece was also tough.

Luo Ci heard him talk about saving his sister, and suddenly had nothing to say, and glanced at Xu Mo, with an apologetic look on his face.

Seeing this, Xu Mo sighed in his heart, and had to dispel the idea of returning before dark.

The sky finally got dark, this day was the seventh day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, there was only a small half moon hanging in the sky, and the sky became more and more gloomy.

Xu Mo and Luo Ci were nervous, but the others all looked eager to try, waiting quietly and anxiously, and said to Zhou Huaizhong: "Teacher Zhou, when are we going to wait?"

Zhou Huaizhong didn't answer, turned to the light, and ordered: "Take out the powerful flashlight." ”

Guangming answered, opened the travel bag again, took out a small bag from it, took out a few powerful flashlights, and divided one for each person.

Xu Mo took the powerful flashlight in his hand, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Give me your lighter." ”

Guangming was stunned for a moment, "What do you want a lighter for?" He didn't smoke, he brought a lighter with him, just for fun, he didn't use it often, he said so in his mouth, but he still took out the lighter and gave it to Xu Mo, and then instructed, "Be careful, Sister Luo Shi is still in their hands, don't hurt her by mistake." ”

Xu Mo nodded, which was regarded as a promise.

At this time, the parrot on Luo Ci's shoulder suddenly flapped its wings a few times, leaving a distance from Luo Ci's shoulder, and then fell again.

Luo Ci hurriedly reassured it, "Sakura-chan, don't be afraid. Reaching out and touching its feathers, the parrot kept turning its head with an unusually uneasy look.

Xu Mo glanced at the parrot, his heart moved, and he suddenly realized that he had been feeling wrong since he entered this courtyard.

The yard was so quiet, the silence was terrible, although there were deep weeds everywhere, but the whole time, I didn't see any living animals.

There are many birds and finches in the back mountain, but none of them fly into this yard.

He was secretly vigilant in his heart: there must be something terrible hidden in this courtyard, so that the birds and beasts outside dare not come in.

Zhou Huaizhong turned on the flashlight, shone it around, and continued: "Be careful, after dark, they will definitely take advantage of the night to find an opportunity to sneak attack." ”

Then he glanced at Xu Mo and Luo Ci, and instructed: "Xiao Xu, Xiao Ci, you two be careful, when you encounter something, try to hide behind us, with us here, it is not easy for them to hurt you." But don't run around yet, lest we be distracted by taking care of it. ”

Luo Ci hurriedly said: "I know the way, Xie Lu Xie cousin." ”

Xu Mo also responded, but thought in his heart: Although Huaizhong is a little more impulsive this week, his heart is not bad, and when he encounters something, he still knows that he will take care of us.

Quietly raised the flashlight and shone it at the doors of the three big houses, but her expression was faintly excited, and then said: "These shrunken turtles, I don't know when they will hide before they come out." ”

But before she could finish speaking, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the front yard. The sound was so loud and so sharp that it pierced people's eardrums with a faint pain.

"They're in the front yard. When Zhou Huaizhong heard the sound of the whistle, his spirits perked up, he raised the watermelon knife in his hand, and urged loudly: "Hurry up, go quickly, don't let them run." ”

As he spoke, he was about to rush out of the front yard.

Xu Mo couldn't help but remind: "Beware of traps, and don't fall for other people's tricks to divert the tiger from the mountain." These words are to repay Zhou Huaizhong for taking care of himself in the arrangement just now.

Zhou Huaizhong was just a little impulsive, people are not so stupid, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly stopped, "Xiao Xu is right, let's go quietly." Xiao Ming, Xiao Liang, you two stay here and continue to guard. Xiao Xu, Xiao Zi, you follow me, and I can take care of things nearby. ”

After saying that, they glanced at the quiet, and the two walked in front and walked cautiously to the front yard. Xu Mo and Luo Ci followed closely behind them.

But the sound of the whistle, after a moment's sound, then disappeared.
