Chapter 433: Searching for a Wife

One day later, Fu Zhuzhi was already in the mountains.

"Sir, if you can't walk anymore, we can find an open place to rest for a while." Zhang Orion, who was leading the way, stopped and said.

"Don't hold on when you're tired. We're not responsible for carrying you back if your foot sprains." Another hunter Zhao added.

No, his wife is still waiting for him, and he can't stop for a moment!

——Although he was thinking this in his heart, Fu Zhuzhi was unable to say "keep going" due to the tingling pain in his feet. The mountain road was already rugged, and with no rest all day long, his body had indeed reached its limit. .

"Then, let's take a short break." He finally gave in to reality.

"Okay, there happens to be a rocky area ahead, let's straighten it out there."

The three of them walked through the woods and came to a rock. The ground here is relatively dry and the weeds are sparse, making it perfect for sitting down and catching your breath.

When Fu Zhuzhi landed on his butt, he realized that apart from the swelling, there was no other sensation in his calf. The shoes were already surrounded by wet mud, and the soles of my feet were so painful and itchy, as if they were soaked in water.

Zhang Orion threw him a rag and said, "Take off your shoes and wipe them with this. There is a lot of humidity in the mountains in spring. If you don't dry your feet, you will easily get seriously ill."

"Many...thank you very much."

These two hunters were invited by him as guides from the village at the foot of the mountain. Although he decided to set out to rescue his wife on his own, Fu Zhuzhi did not overestimate his ability. Can't even get in.

"Speaking of which, where did you hear the news about Ganoderma lucidum?" Hunter Zhao took out his dagger and began to sharpen the pathfinder stick in his hand, "Looking at Mr. Fu, it doesn't look like he cares about rare people in the mountains. ”

"I have a friend...a drug dealer." Fu Zhuzhi hesitated and replied, "Anyway, there is a giant bush deep in the mountains. You should have been there, right?"

Looking for Ganoderma lucidum was his excuse. Xueer did not say where the village was specifically, but only mentioned that it was hidden among the mountains and that there were huge ancient trees growing around it.

The two looked at each other and then laughed, "This is natural. Where in the mountains have we not walked? Don't worry, sir. Since we dare to take this job, we must be sure."

"There are rumors of evil spirits in the mountains..."

"That's true."

Fu Zhuzhi couldn't help but shiver, "Really?"

"Yes." Zhao Orion blew the sawdust on the tip of the stick, "There are four villages nearby, and people die every year. People die too much, and evil spirits will appear. But those who suffer are mostly young people. , If you don’t understand the mountains, you have to go through it. The road traveled by the predecessors is not in vain. As long as you follow the rules and hang up an oil lamp at night, you will basically not encounter any problems. "

Fu Zhuzhi thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Then have you heard the rumors that there are people living in this deep mountain?"

"...living in the mountains?" Zhang Orion glanced at him first, and then couldn't help but laugh, "If there are any, they must be monkeys. How can people live in the mountains? Poisonous snakes, insects, miasma,... Even a heavy rain can kill you."

"Isn't there a village?"

"You're talking nonsense. It's difficult to even survive, how can we form a village." Zhao Orion also shook his head repeatedly, "How could the young master have such an idea? Even in Huangtu Town, there should not be such ridiculous rumors."

Yes, how could he have such an idea?

Fu Zhuzhi suddenly realized that Xueer's origin and life experience were all told by her alone, and she had never seen it with her own eyes. If there was a demon village in this mountain, would the people around it not be aware of it?

Furthermore, even the fact that his wife was kidnapped by a demon was his speculation. In fact, there is no evidence that can directly prove that a demon broke into Huangtu Town in broad daylight. Xueer's beauty may have aroused the covetousness of others unknowingly, and they abducted her when he was not at home.

Fu Zhuzhi suddenly felt a little cold in his hands and feet.

What if you guess the wrong direction?

He didn't care that he was traveling in vain and wasting money.

What he cares about is whether he can see his wife again.

In this huge daze, Fu Zhuzhi saw Zhao Orion picking up his stick and sweeping his shoes and socks aside, with a glimmer of danger in his eyes.

On the other side, Zhang Orion also pulled out the hatchet from his waist and blocked the way he came.

"You two...?"

"Young Master, we've almost reached this point." Zhang Orion's tone was no longer as kind as before, "You said you came from Huangtu Town, but I don't know which street or house you live in?"

"W-what do you mean?"

"Didn't I say that? People die in the mountains every year, and most of them are young people." At this point, he no longer concealed his greed and murderous intention, "After all, there are too many accidents in the mountains, why did you die?" If he dies and ends up with his body, the government won’t care too much.”

Fu Zhuzhi stood up suddenly. Speaking of this, he completely understood the thoughts of these two people - they actually wanted to kill him and then blame the beast or evil spirit!

"How...can you..." he stammered, "I paid...paid..."

"You have paid, but you have more than this, right?" Zhang Orion smiled sadly, "Even if you don't have any, there are always a lot at home? A scholar actually wants to go to the mountains and forests to find Ganoderma lucidum... Anyone who has this idea needs to have some savings.”

"What Brother Zhang means is that only rich fools can be carefree." Zhao Orion pointed the long stick in his hand at him, "Tell me, it will save us the trouble of asking later. Brother, I will give you a choice. After explaining, let's go." You can go on your way in peace and find a place to bury it for you, or..."

Another man waved his hatchet, "Either you get chopped into dozens of pieces and thrown into the woods to feed wild wolves - you choose your own path!"

Fu Zhuzhi wanted to run, but the pain in his feet on the stone ground was excruciating. Let alone running, it was extremely difficult to even maintain a standing position - they made him take off his shoes to prevent him from escaping!

"It's meaningless to say so much. Brother Zhang, let's let Mr. Fu experience it first before making a choice."

"Too."

The two people gathered around while talking. Just as they were about to take action, a look of fear suddenly appeared on their faces, as if the scholar was something extremely terrifying!

At the same time, there was a cold wind in the mountains and forests, as if something was about to come out.

Bang.

The two hunters were stunned, their faces turned blue, and their hatchets and sticks fell directly to the ground.

What's going on?

Fu Zhuzhi looked at the two motionless people with the same fear in his heart. Could it be that evil spirits were coming? But the sun has not yet set. How could the evil spirit appear in broad daylight?

The next moment, he saw a woman walking out of the woods.

An extremely beautiful woman.

There were fox-like ears on top of her head, her black hair stretched down to her waist, and her pupils were shining with faint purple light.

Fu Zhuzhi realized that this man was a monster just like Xue'er.

"Do you really want to see your wife that much?" the woman opened her red lips slightly and asked softly.

"Do you know where she is?" Seeing her mention Xue'er, Fu Zhuzhi forgot the fear in his heart for a moment.

"Of course." The other party smiled, "Please come with me."
