The grey-robed old man saw the true faces of the two people, but his expression did not change. It was as if he had already known about it. The two people walked lightly and stepped on the shallow puddles of water. It did not take them long to reach the bridge.
Seeing that the monster that had been subdued by the horse had received the woman's small action and was about to pounce on Ling Seven, the old man raised his hand again and an arrow flew towards the monster.
How could the monster withstand this attack? Its body was instantly pierced through, and then it burned from the hole. It let out a painful cry and knelt on the ground, shouting,"San 'er!" Third son!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, it burned into a huge fire, and after a while, there was no sound.
The old man saw that the woman had stopped moving, so he bowed to the two of them and said,"Long time no see."”
However, the woman and the child she was holding remained silent after seeing this person. After he greeted the two of them, he walked to the left side of the road without looking back and gradually disappeared from their sight.
At this moment, the old man and the woman behind him quickly walked up to the three of them. Seeing that Ling Jiu's face was still as pale as before, the old man said to the woman behind him," Zhi Qiu, give this little girl some water to drink. He should be fine after resting for a while.”
Six One saw the two of them walking over. After seeing their faces clearly, he retreated to the side and did not speak anymore.
When Ling Qi saw that it was the two of them, he raised his hand and saluted,"Thank you, Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye for coming to save us."”
"Yo! You are Sister Ling Qi." Zhi Qiu nodded and greeted her.
"Yes! Uncle Ye, what's wrong with this group of people? And you.。。”From his interaction with the two of them, Ling Qi was still suspicious. However, due to his relationship with Uncle Ye, he asked in a low voice.
"It's a long story. Let's settle down first.”
Seeing that Ling Qi and the others were still fine, Uncle Ye said with relief. Then, he turned his head to look at the horse at the side. His eyes gradually darkened. He said with a trembling voice,"This is our fate!"”After saying that, he gave Zhiqiu a look. Zhiqiu walked to the front of the horse. Looking at this dull person, Zhiqiu couldn't bear it, but he still waved his horsetail whisk and led him to the side so that he could make plans again.
At this moment, Uncle Ye saw that Ling Jiu was slowly waking up and said to the few of them," Let's go, there's a temporary resting place ahead. Let's chat there." The few of them responded and followed the old man's footsteps, retreating back to the path they had come from.
The sky gradually returned to normal, but it was also close to afternoon. Soon, the sky was dark, and a bonfire was lit in the temporary camp. The few of them sat together and placed the human-shaped package at the side. They immediately stood nearby.
Zhi Qiu distributed the food to the three of them and then sat down. Ling Seven was still confused and asked," Zhi Qiu, why are you guys here? Also, what was going on with those two people this afternoon?”
Ling Jiu also looked around. This place didn't seem to have been built recently. The domestic garbage had been piled up to a certain scale. It had been living there for at least a week. There were people in the tents, but most of them were busy with their own things. When they arrived, they had seen a few people, and their faces were extremely familiar. Those people smiled at Ling Jiu and the others before lowering their heads to do their own things. Some were cutting yellow paper, while others were running back and forth.
"Us! It was because of Li Hou! He has been missing for a week, but we already know about it, but Uncle said that we have to prepare here first.”When Zhi Qiu heard Ling Seven's question, she thought for a moment and said to the others.
"You also know that Li Hou is missing. It seems that you knew about it earlier than us!”Ling Seven did some calculations. They knew that Li Hou had only been missing for three to four days, and they had already known about it a week ago. It seemed like they had come here at that time.
As they chatted, Ling Seven looked at the canyon not far away. The location they chose was very good. Through a sparse forest, they could see the stone bridge from earlier. The sky was slowly darkening, but this location was not easy to discover even if there was a bonfire in the dark.
"Prepare for what? Where's Uncle Ye?"
"He should be around. He should be back soon.”Sure enough, just as Zhi Qiu said that Old Ye would come later, a broad figure appeared on the road leading to the camp. However, he was obviously hunched over and looked old.
Uncle Ye walked over calmly and sat opposite Ling Jiu. Ling Qi tilted his head and hurriedly asked," Uncle Ye, can you tell me now?”
"Sigh! What's the hurry, girl? Alright then! What do you want to know?" The old man patted the dust off his body and sat there properly. Seeing that Ling Qi could not hold it in any longer, he could only reply.
"I heard that those two people this afternoon are Jing Luoyi's men? What exactly is going on with this organization? I've heard of this organization when I first arrived here.。。”Ling Qi picked up a thin piece of wood and pulled at the fire, looking at Uncle Ye.
"However, I just didn't know that there was such a strong person in this organization! Even you can't deal with a foreign body that they have cultivated in a short period of time, right?”Seeing Ling Qi's depressed expression and the fact that his strength had suffered a blow, Uncle Ye told her what was on her mind so that she would not have any misgivings and would not affect her future plans.
"Actually, I don't need to tell you this question. Nuo, this young man should know.”Ye Zhi Qiu saw his uncle throw a piece of firewood into the fire, glanced at the young man beside Ling Jiu, and then continued to look at the fire.
When Six One heard this voice, he was suddenly stunned, but he didn't refuse and said," Jing Luoyi! The two people we saw this afternoon should be Shui Yi and Feng Yi. Shui Yi was the middle-aged woman, Zhang Mingyue. No one knew who the two of them were. They should be the new generation of mutant generals. Their organization usually doesn't show off. I just don't know why they came to find trouble with us today.”
"You're almost right. There are many things about this organization that can't be finished in a short time. As for why they're looking for trouble with you guys, it's very simple.”Uncle Ye added.
"Our objective?" Ling Jiu was sitting at the side with a cup of tea in his arms and a blanket draped over him. He couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"Yes, your purpose. We alerted them." Uncle Ye looked at Ling Qi after he finished speaking. She should know why she came back to cause trouble for them.
"That's not right! The bodies we searched... No way! Could it be that they were the buyers behind the corpses?”Ling Qi said in surprise, looking at Uncle Ye in disbelief.
"Yes, when Li Hou and Lin Yi went to investigate the corpse. He had originally thought that it was to transport medicine, but it was actually to transport corpses. Or rather, both were their goals. And as far as I know, the corpse ended up in their hands.”
Seeing that these people were thinking this way, Six looked up and lowered his head without saying anything. Ling Jiu looked at them excitedly, his eyes wide open, waiting for the next conversation.
"No, that's not right. Lin Yi and the others knew that someone was using corpses to hide medicine, but they couldn't find the medicine or the corpses. Then Li Hou was caught. You said it was because Li Hou found the corpse? Or rather, he had found the place where they had hidden the bodies.”Ling Qi said after combining the information he knew.
"For now, yes. Zhiqiu, tell me what you know." Uncle Ye called out to Zhi Qiu, who cleared her throat and said.
"About a week ago, Li Hou went missing near 101 Shachang Road in Old City. I haven't contacted him since then. The next day, I went there to search and found an underground corpse breeding ground. However, the corpse should have been moved away by your bureau. However, I found a photo on the ground.”As she spoke, Zhi Qiu took out a photo from her bag. Ling Seven looked at the results. It was a photo of the ancestral hall with green bricks and black tiles.
"In that case, Li Hou must have found some clues.。。”Thinking of this, Ling Qi realized that the photo in Lin Yi's hands was intentionally placed there by the dark-skinned man. However, why would they attack us after luring us here?
"This place is actually not far ahead. It was very likely that it was a relatively large corpse hiding place.”When Uncle Ye said this, he hesitated. He paused for a moment and continued.
"That's why those two came to stop you. As for why I treated those two like that, it was because we already knew each other. However, that had nothing to do with the purpose of this trip. "We don't know how far those corpses have grown, so I'll bring the power of the prefecture and set up camp here first. We'll investigate when it's suitable. Since you're here, let's see if you're willing to take the lead.”
"Ah! So Grandpa Ye, you guys were preparing here and coincidentally saved us?”After listening for a long time, Ling Jiu finally understood something. Seeing that Ling Jiu thought that he understood the situation clearly, he spoke seriously. When Six One heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. However, he obviously didn't want Ling Jiu to see this, or else the two of them would start arguing again.
"Alright, but Lin Yi has been gone for half a day and hasn't returned. I'm afraid something has happened!”Ling Qi stood up and looked at the side of the bridge. There were still no cars on the other side of the road. He said worriedly.
"That's fine. I'll give you a car tomorrow. Lin Yi must have been delayed by something. Wasn't he sick?”Uncle Ye saw that Ling Qi was worried and comforted her.
"Alright then, but Uncle Ye…。”Ling Qi was puzzled. Why did Uncle Ye seem to be present and knew everything? He was just about to continue asking when he heard Uncle Ye interrupt her again.
"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone, rest first! We should make plans early tomorrow." With that, everyone stood up and returned to their tents.
The campfire in the campsite was being watched by someone else so that it wouldn't go out. Everyone went to sleep with a peace of mind. However, Ling Qi was still thinking about the incident just now. Why did Uncle Ye look so strange?
However, Ling Qi didn't think too much about it and slowly fell asleep.
In the dead of the night, Old Ye got up secretly and made a phone call. A delicate female voice came from the other end of the phone." What's wrong, Ye Xunqing?”
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before deliberately lowering her voice and accusing her,"Su Rou, get your people to let Lin Yi go. Also, be f * cking quiet." If it weren't for me, none of these three would have survived.”
The other end only laughed and Ye Xunqing said," Don't forget, the reason why I'm working with you this time is to deal with those guys from the Founding Official Department. Also, if anything happens to our Young Mansion Master, don't blame me for turning against you.”
"Got it, Old Ye! Hurry up and go! If you were any slower, who knows what those guys from the Official Department would do to your Young Mansion Master. But don't forget, we've already exposed ourselves by snatching their corpses. You have to remember that we have to stop them from opening the Lu family ancestral hall.”
"You guys think of a way to deal with the matter behind the corpse. I'll take care of the ancestral hall.”Hearing Su Rou say this, Ye Xunqing said impatiently in his heart.
Seeing that the other party was extremely unwilling, Su Rou did not forget to gently comfort him,"Okay, okay!" That's it then. Goodnight, little guy!”
