As soon as the fire started, some townspeople shouted. In this quiet town, so many townspeople appeared out of nowhere and rushed to put out the fire.
The old man stood in front of the burning abandoned house with a gloomy face.
The tavern owner Zhang San said: "If I had known that these foreigners were here to cause trouble, why did you let them in?"
The old man said coldly: "If you don't let them in, won't they make trouble? Keep them under your nose so that you can monitor them. But you guys, why did you lose sight of them?"
Mrs. Zhang San said: "Look what you always said, can we deliberately miss it? That girl, I don't know what kind of magic she used. When she found out, there was no one in the room."
The old man sighed, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. Hurry up and find the person before we talk."
The townspeople agreed and divided into several groups. One group stayed to put out the fire, while the other groups split up to search. It was very orderly.
Mingwei hid in the dark and watched, seeing that the people guarding the cellar were motionless. There were shouts of fire outside, but they didn't seem to hear them.
Well trained.
With these words in her mind, she handed the folded paper figurine to Duofu and whispered a few words in her ear.
Duofu understood and went immediately.
There were only two or three streets in the town. The search was quickly completed and several groups of people gathered in the abandoned cellar.
"Mr. Teng, what do you think?" Zhang San came over to ask for instructions.
After searching all other places, this is the only place left. Should I go and take a look?
But what if this is a trick by the other party? I don’t know what’s wrong with the town, so I might as well set a fire and let them expose themselves.
Another town citizen said: "If something goes wrong, Sun Liu and the others will definitely give a warning."
But Madam Zhang San sneered: "Are you stupid? If you search everywhere else, but don't search there, it's obvious there's a problem, right?"
The townspeople were stunned for a moment when she laughed at her, and then their faces turned red.
Mr. Teng waved his hand and said: "The person who came here is evil. We don't have to pretend anymore. She also brought someone with her. Who knows if she is hiding outside and waiting for an opportunity. Don't worry about anything else. Just think of a way to catch her." Don't worry about being exposed.
Incredible.
The townspeople agreed, and several groups of people headed straight for the abandoned cellar.
"Sun Liu!" Zhang San shouted.
A man came out of the broken house: "What are you doing here?"
"Is everything okay here?"
Sun Liu shook his head: "It's okay."
As soon as he spoke, he heard a chuckle in his ear.
The laughter was very soft, the tone was clear and soft, and you could tell it belonged to a young woman.
The townspeople followed the sound and found a girl standing on the roof next door.
It was too dark, and the torches in their hands could only illuminate the outline, but she heard her say slowly: "I didn't know what the problem was, thank you very much."
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped down and tried to rush straight in.
Zhang San was furious: "How brave! You really take yourself seriously!"
The townspeople gathered around him.
Mr. Teng shouted: "Pay attention, she also has a maid!"
Madam Zhang San stood with a spatula on her hips: "Don't worry, I'll pay attention!"
After a while, Madam Zhang San shouted: "The little thief is here!"
Duofu, who was trying to sneak into the broken house, was discovered and had to run away.
The secret has been discovered, and these two people must not be allowed to escape from the town. Mr. Teng shouted: "No matter life or death, we must capture them!"
"I know, don't worry!"
All the townspeople immediately divided into three groups, one group stayed, one group went after Mingwei, and the other group went after Duofu.
Those who stayed behind, in addition to the two Sun Liu who were originally guarding, were Elder Teng and three others.
Sun Liu asked: "Mr. Teng, what's going on with these two strangers? Isn't that kid the one who brought them here?"
Old Teng said: "A caravan came earlier and said that they accidentally took the wrong path while taking the Yanshan Ancient Road. These two people came with the caravan."
Sun Liu frowned: "It doesn't sound like they are in the same group."
"Whether they are a group or not, if they want to cause trouble, they can only arrest them first."
While the two were talking, a muffled voice came from inside, and another guard came out and said: "That kid is up to something again."
Just as Sun Liu was about to say something, a gust of wind suddenly blew, carrying a sweet fragrance.
Mr. Teng felt something was wrong: "What kind of smell is this?"
As soon as he said that, his body felt weak.
The remaining townspeople were shocked and turned to look outside, only to see Mingwei standing there, looking at them with a smile: "How are you guys doing?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already moved.
In order to protect Mr. Teng, several townspeople rushed forward.
In an instant, they were fighting together.
The remaining townspeople were restrained, and in the darkness, Duofu quietly sneaked into the broken house.
The entrance to the cellar is not hidden, but is locked with a thick iron chain.
Duofu took a look outside to make sure no one was paying attention, then tugged on the chain and pulled hard.
If you try three or four times, it finally breaks.
When the sound of breaking was heard, Mingwei kicked the shovel in the hand of a town citizen hard. The shovel hit the hoe next to it, making a sharp sound.
Doofu went into the cellar. It was pitch dark and he couldn't see anything, but he seemed to hear faint breathing.
She groped inside carefully, and when she was halfway there, something suddenly came across her. There was a "click" and the sound of iron chains rubbing together. Then she was strangled by the cold iron chain around her neck and dragged to the other side.
.
"Who are you?" A slightly weird tone sounded in his ears, and a living body was pressed against his back.
Duofu grabbed the iron chain around his neck and asked, "Who are you? Did you bring us here?"
The man behind him was stunned for a moment and said something nonsense.
Duofu didn't understand a word he said.
The man said a few more words, but received no response, and then changed back: "Are you not from that family?"
"Which one is that?" Duofu didn't understand.
There was silence for a while, and the man said: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Since you have the ability to come in, can you let me out? I will reward you heavily."
Duofu said: "You said you were sorry, why did you still pinch me?"
The man laughed dryly, and just as he was about to loosen the chain, he heard a click and the chain was broken. Duofu took the opportunity to break free.
He was stunned: "You...you broke it?"
He knew there was an iron chain outside, so he thought she had used some magic weapon to cut it.
Duofu didn't answer.
She finally adapted to the darkness, and with the slight light coming from the cellar entrance, she could barely make out the outline.
This person was chained to the cellar wall, with iron chains on her hands and feet. Although she tore off a section, there were still several locks that were fastened tightly.
They came here originally to find this person.
Duofu said: "You are not good for me as soon as we meet. Who knows if you will turn against me if I let you out."
"I swear," the man said, "it was really a misunderstanding just now."
Duofu thought for a while: "That's okay."
The man was overjoyed: "Do you believe it?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Miss said that the handle is more reliable than trust." After saying this, the talisman in her hand flashed, and a talisman was photographed on the other person's forehead.
