That dark shadow looked familiar.

Judging from the strength of his back, the owner of the black shadow is a young man.

Fang Taihe and Wu Xiazi are both elderly. They drank so much liquor just now, so they definitely can't run so fast.

In Dachanggou Village, apart from Fang Taihe and Wu Xiazi, the only people I know are Wu Xiaohu and his wife.

But just now when I was going to knock on the door, I heard the two of them in the house, doing something that only two people could accomplish, so I had to rule it out.

Thinking of this, I started to wonder, since all the people I know in this village have been eliminated, who could be the owner of this dark shadow?

It seems that I have overthought it.

Now it's better to go back quickly and see if those two old guys are back.

Follow the path and rush towards Wu Xiaohu's house.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw that the lights in the main room were already on.

I smiled knowingly and understood the reason.

When I returned to the wing, looking at the remaining food on the table and the two unfinished glasses of wine, I fell into infinite disappointment.

Because the room was still empty, and there was no sign of Fang Taihe or Wu Xiazi.

He walked out of the side room again and came to the door of the main room. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. A woman's voice came from inside. It was Qinglian's.

"Who?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, it's me. Fang Taihe and Wu Xiazi are missing. I want to ask, have you seen them?"

After saying that, the room was silent for a while.

Then, I heard the sound of getting dressed from inside. After a while, Qinglian opened the door from inside, saw me, and said, "I didn't see them either. Didn't you just have dinner with them? That's why

Why did they disappear after a while?"

Seeing that Qinglian was puzzled, I told Qinglian everything that happened.

At the same time, he also talked about what happened when he met Hei Yinger just now.

However, when I talked about Heiying'er, Qinglian's somewhat terrifying face became slightly strange, but she quickly covered it up.

I have been chatting with Qinglian for so long, but Wu Xiaohu has not come out yet, which makes me feel a little surprised.

It was already very late now. Faced with a man knocking on the door, how could Wu Xiaohu, as a man, let his wife come out while he was in bed?

I asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, where is Xiaohu?"

Seeing me asking where Wu Xiaohu had gone, Qinglian's face looked strange again, and she stuttered and said: "He...he went out..."

out?

How can this be?

Just now I clearly heard the voices of two people coming from the room. Who could it be if it wasn't Wu Xiaohu?

But if you think about it carefully, Qinglian has no reason to lie to me. So who was the other person in the room just now?

I had a bad feeling in my heart. Could it be that there was another man in the room just now?

However, this thought only passed by for a moment. After all, with Qinglian's current appearance, I am afraid that no man except Wu Xiaohu would fall in love with her.

I shook my head to clear away these messy thoughts.

The other person in the room just now, whether it is Wu Xiaohu or not, is not my responsibility.

The most important thing now is to find where Fang Taihe and Wu Xiazi have gone.

Since Qinglian said she didn't see it, I nodded to her and said, "In that case, thank you sister-in-law. I don't know where these two old guys went."

With that said, I said goodbye and prepared to go out to look for them again.

Just when I was about to leave, Qinglian took my arm and looked outside the gate, as if she was afraid of being seen. Then she lowered her voice and said, "I told you a long time ago, in this village

Here, don’t believe Wu Xiaohu, don’t believe anyone or anything, you just don’t listen, and now the two Taoist priests are missing, that’s proof!”

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment.

When Qinglian said this to me during the day, I was in a hurry to protect the god Suan Zhou and didn't have time to ask what the words meant. Later, I met Wu Xiazi again and forgot about it.

Now that I see Qinglian mentioning it again, I remember again when I was eating, Blind Man Wu warned me to be careful of the classmate next door!

Qinglian and Blind Wu said the same thing, asking me to be careful about Wu Xiaohu. What is the reason behind this?

I asked: "Sister-in-law, what you said makes me a little confused. If you really know something, please tell me directly. I am stupid and I really don't understand what you mean."

Qinglian did not answer my question, but said: "We are running out of time, so you should go to the thatched house at the east end of the village and have a look first."

After that, he ignored me still standing at the door and closed the door directly.

Time is running out. What will happen?

Why did Qinglian want me to go to the thatched house at the east end of the village?

I knocked on the door again and asked Qinglian what was going on, but Qinglian did not open the door. Instead, she said through the door that I would know everything if I went to the thatched house at the east end of the village.

Seeing this, I could only shake my head, knowing in my heart that no matter how much I begged her, she would never say anything more, so I had to give up.

Since Qinglian reminded me to go to the thatched house at the east end of the village, I thought there must be an answer there.

Exit the gate and walk along the path towards the east end.

After walking for about twenty minutes, we had left the village and were surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Grass grew taller than a person on both sides of the road, and I couldn't help but shiver.

In the grass, there was the sound of insects, which was very pleasant to hear, but in this environment, I really couldn't appreciate it.

I can only sing songs to embolden myself.

At the same time, I felt a little unsure, so Qinglian told me that if I walked eastward along the path, there would be a thatched house at the east end of the village.

But we have walked such a long way, and there are only houses made of bricks and tiles. I have not seen the thatched house Qinglian mentioned. Could it be that I missed it?

Just as I was thinking about it, a solitary light caught my eye.

The light is very weak, but in the dark night, it is still very obvious.

Through the moonlight, you can vaguely see that the grass used for building the house is thatch.

My heart moved. It looked like this was the thatched house Qinglian mentioned.

Looking at the lonely thatched hut in front of me, I murmured in my heart. We were already far away from the village. What if the owner of the black shadow was hiding in the thatched hut? I rushed in rashly to avoid any accident.

, then wouldn’t I gain more than I lose?

Quietly, he walked to the pile of grass closest to the thatched house, hid behind the grass, and checked what was going on inside.

Just as he squatted down, he heard a blood-curdling scream: "Ah!"

This scream startled me, and there was a burst of white hair on my back.

Judging from the level of the scream, it looked like he was experiencing the pain of being cut by a knife!
