In my hesitation, I didn't listen at all to what Widow Liu said next. I walked back to my room step by step in a daze alone, and then sat down on the bed.
Looking around, the layout of the room is so similar to what I remembered yesterday, but slightly different. The toiletries and sleeping supplies that were originally shared by two people in the room are now only the ones I used, Lin Qianyi
The clothes and backpacks placed in the room were all gone.
Seeing all this, I finally couldn't help but doubt my memory. Did Lin Qianyi go up the mountain with me?
Just when I was wondering, there was a slight knock on the door of the corridor. I asked who it was. But the person outside the door didn't make any answer other than continuing to knock on the door.
Seeing this, I quickly stood up from the bed, opened the door and saw that standing in front of me was Ah Wu, who had warned Lin Qianyi twice yesterday.
When I saw Awu, I immediately realized that if anyone could prove to me that there was nothing wrong with my memory and that Lin Qianyi really entered the village with me, then it would definitely be the Awu in front of me. From my memory
Zhong Awu warned Lin Qianyi twice in a row. He must know something about the situation in this village and the continuous disappearances in the village.
Sure enough, before I had time to speak, Awu said something that made me extremely excited.
"Now do you know why I let you go yesterday? It's all because of you! What happened to Miss Lin!"
I was extremely excited when I heard Awu's words, because his words proved that there was indeed nothing wrong with my memory, and something had indeed happened to Lin Qianyi!
So I couldn't wait to say: "Please tell me, where is Qianyi? What do you know?"
Ah Wu said, "Don't you think it's too late to be anxious now? If you hadn't eaten the food and wine cooked by your mother yesterday, you wouldn't have been drugged by her. Now that Miss Lin has been caught, it won't take long for her to
You will die. If I were you, I would leave here as soon as possible. Although you are not their target, if you continue to trace the whereabouts of Miss Lin, there is no guarantee that they will not let you disappear too..."
"Are they the people you are talking about from the village!?" I was a little surprised by the information in Awu's words, and asked him: "Why did they want to arrest Qianyi? What is going on with the people in your village?"
"This is the secret of my village, I can't tell you." Awu just smiled bitterly.
"But didn't you once warn Qianyi that she would be in danger? Since you are worried about Qianyi's safety, why can't you tell me where she is now? Don't you want to save her?" I asked urgently.
"Of course I do, but I took a big risk by tipping off Miss Lin... It's because you didn't heed my warning..."
I paced back and forth, very anxious, because I couldn't think of how to refute Awu's words. Yes, if we had left immediately after hearing Awu's warning, then Qianyi would indeed not have had an accident...
I sighed: "It's my fault for not listening to you, but it's absolutely impossible for me to leave like this. Mr. Awu, I know you have a good impression of Qianyi, can't you help me?"
Will you help me rescue Qianyi?"
Seeing Awu looking at me very apologetically, I could only strengthen my tone and said: "Awu, there is something I must tell you. Qianyi and I are actually..."
Awu suddenly interrupted: "It's the police, right?"
I was a little surprised. I didn’t understand how Ah Wu knew. On the other hand, Ah Wu continued: "Not only do I know that you are policemen, but I also know that you and Miss Lin are not a real couple. You are just investigating things in the village. Disguised. But so what? Their arrangement is perfect. Even if you bring a large team of people and turn the village upside down, you will not find any trace that Miss Lin has been here. By then, everyone will Thinking that there is something wrong with you. You may even be slandered as insane by them. Don’t think that this is impossible... In fact, this kind of thing has happened many times before you.”
I took a deep breath, but I still couldn't suppress the confusion in my heart. Because I didn't understand at all how the young man in front of me, who was about the same age as me, knew the details about me and Lin Qianyi? And it seemed that , he seemed to have a clear understanding of the purpose of our visit this time.
I looked at Ah Wu and asked him how he knew this? Ah Wu still shook his head at me. So I did the next best thing. I didn’t ask Ah Wu to tell me the truth. I just hoped that he could tell me where Lin Qianyi is now. Tell me, let me try to rescue her alone, but Awu still shakes his head at me.
Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Since you are not willing to help me with anything, what on earth are you here for?"
At this time, Awu's expression began to change, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
"Do you think I am willing to find you? The reason why I came to you is because of Miss Lin's instructions!"
"Qianyi?" I managed to calm down and took a breath: "What did she ask you?"
A Wu said: "Yesterday when I warned Miss Lin, Miss Lin also asked me about the secret of the village. When I refused to tell her, she asked me for something, saying that it was in case she was really in danger. , I hope I can help you leave here safely. If it weren't for her words, why would I risk being discovered by others to come to you?"
What?
My heart suddenly shook. So, Lin Qianyi had actually already had a premonition of her situation? But if that was the case, why did she react to my proposal to rush down the mountain and leave the village last night? Hesitant?
Suddenly, I had an idea. Could it be that Lin Qianyi actually wanted to use herself as bait to lure out the culprit behind this incident? The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible. If Lin Qianyi wasn't here now Now, I really want to scold her "Idiot!" No matter how much she wants to solve the mystery of this incident, she shouldn't risk her own life!
For a moment, I was so angry that I couldn't speak. I could only stare blankly at Awu in front of me. By the time I regained my breath, I had already made up my mind. No matter what, I had to rescue Qianyi. ! And now my only hope is Awu in front of me. As long as I can find the whereabouts of Qianyi, I will not hesitate to do something that is not in line with the rules.
Thinking of this, I silently went back to the room to pack my luggage, and then walked up to Ah Wu with my backpack on my back.
Seeing that I had taken everything away, Awu might have thought that I was ready to listen to his advice and leave the village, so he nodded and said: "That's right, before they plan to touch you, you should leave quickly, otherwise...
…”
Awu was only halfway through what he said, and I had already walked in front of him. Suddenly, with lightning speed, I took out the gun from my arms, put it on his forehead, and said to him:
"Awu, you should know where Qianyi is, take me to find him! Otherwise I will kill you now!"
Ah Wu was confused and said: "You... aren't you a policeman?"
I raised my voice and said, "Police are human beings too! I won't let Qianyi disappear into your village like this!"
Ah Wu said again: "But I don't know where Miss Lin is..."
I couldn't bear it anymore and said sternly: "No need to pretend anymore, no matter what you say now, I won't believe it! Let's go and lead the way!"
I stepped out of the room, grabbed Awu's collar with one hand, and pushed him towards the stairs from behind.
Along the way, Awu shook his head vigorously, with an ugly and terrifying expression: "You are wasting your efforts and wasting Miss Lin's hard work. It is impossible for you to rescue her alone!"
I smiled bitterly and said: "How will you know if you don't try? If you also care about Qianyi, you should lead the way for me honestly now, without any tricks!"
Ah Wu let out a long sigh, gave up trying to persuade me, and silently walked out of the house with his head lowered.
When passing through the lobby on the first floor, I deliberately stuck behind Ah Wu, trying to hide the pistol in my hand and avoid attracting the attention of Widow Liu in the lobby.
However, when the two of us walked to the hall, we found that it was a little quiet here. Widow Liu, who was still in the hall, suddenly disappeared.
This made me feel worried. Although the conversation between Awu and I was not loud just now, there was no guarantee that Widow Liu on the first floor did not hear it. And from Awu's warning to us, I already knew that yesterday
Widow Liu drugged our meals that night, so even if she was not the culprit in kidnapping Qian Yi, she was probably involved in the kidnapping. In this case, Widow Liu's disappearance at this moment is naturally very suspicious.
And next, Awu's words confirmed my guess.
I saw him looking around, and immediately whispered "No", and then turned back to me and said: "My mother may have heard our argument just now. You should leave quickly. I'm afraid she will find someone to come."
Bad for you!"
When I heard what he said, I couldn't help but move faster. But as soon as the two people walked out of the stilted building, a man suddenly rushed out from the shadow of the stairs of the stilted building.
The moment the man came out happened to be when Awu and I were walking down the stairs. I listened in all directions and looked around, but at that time my eyes were focused on the streets around the stilted building, but I didn't expect that someone would come from behind.
Someone will appear suddenly.
Therefore, when I saw the man smashing at me with an iron bar, I could no longer avoid it, so I could only subconsciously block it with the hand holding the gun.
The force of the opponent's stick was really strong. It hit my wrist, and the pain was bone-piercing, as if the bones were about to be broken. The pistol fell directly to the ground, and my body staggered backwards.
The other party didn't seem to be satisfied with this stick. He actually raised the stick again as if he wanted to kill me.
But at this moment, Awu who was walking in front of me suddenly pushed me and knocked me away. At the same time, he hugged the man and said, "Uncle Wu, stop!"
The man called "Uncle Wu" was hugged by Ah Wu with his arms and shouted: "A Wu, what are you doing? Let me go quickly!"
A Wu's face was covered with sweat. His body was tossed around by his fifth uncle, but he shouted at me: "Why are you still standing there? Leave quickly! You can't stay in this village any longer!"
As soon as I heard Ah Wu's words, my heart suddenly felt like being hit by a heavy hammer. I looked left and right and subconsciously let out an "ah" sound. Because at this moment, from the surrounding streets, many villagers I had seen before
There were men and women, old and young, all holding hatchets, sticks, and even bows, crossbows, shotguns, etc., and walked towards me with red eyes.
