Chapter 1486 Missing
"Huh? What's going on?"
Tang Qisheng stood up and looked into the distance, only to see a burst of fog appearing in the village at some point. At this moment, the fog spread and wrapped towards them.
Yao, Shun and Yu stood on a stone pier and looked out, confirming: "They came from the forest outside the village."
It was early or late, but it happened to be foggy at this time. Obviously something was wrong. Everyone gathered together unconsciously, and at this time the fog had drifted outside the courtyard, but the strange thing was that the fog seemed to be alive. Staying outside the courtyard, there is no sign of infiltrating into the courtyard.
The visibility was very poor at this moment. Everyone stared at the fog, as if they wanted to see through the fog to see something hidden behind it. Although they have not found it yet, everyone believed that there must be something.
After a moment, the fat man's eyes froze and he suddenly became nervous. He heard, everyone heard, there were footsteps approaching outside the hospital.
There are a lot of them, at least a dozen, and the speed is very fast.
The footsteps stopped in front of the courtyard door, and then there was a knock on the door, "Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang, are you there?!"
Jiang Cheng recognized the voice of villager Fu Qing, the leader who led them into the village, but everyone held their breath in tacit agreement and no one spoke.
This fog is strange, and they have determined that these villagers are rice ghosts, and they are the same guys who were hidden in the fog in the woods before.
Now, these guys are coming again with the fog.
The banging on the door continued for a while, and became stronger and stronger. The fat man gritted his teeth. He was worried that the door would be smashed, but the result was good. This rotten-looking wooden door actually withstood it until The villagers outside left, and the footsteps became farther and farther.
Zhu Jie wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The current situation was more complicated and unpredictable than what she had experienced before. If it hadn't been for the concerted efforts of her teammates, this time I might have... Zhu Jie glanced at the wall inadvertently. , the next second I couldn’t look away anymore, “Ah!”
Accompanied by a short scream, a terrifying scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Five heads appeared side by side on the wall not far away.
"Brother Jiang, it turns out you are here."
The one in the middle of the five heads opened its mouth and showed a scary smile. It was Fu Qing!
I don't know if these five people were stepping on something or because their bodies were simply out of proportion, but they were lying side by side on the wall, with only one head exposed and looking into the courtyard.
"Brother Fuqing, it turns out it's really you. I thought I heard wrong. Jiang Cheng's expression didn't change, and there was actually a hint of happiness in his eyebrows.
Fu Qing remained motionless, still lying on the wall, maintaining a strange posture, and asked: "Since you heard it, why didn't you agree?"
"How dare we? We are not familiar with the place here. Besides, we were lost in the heavy fog. The ghosts in the fog were scary to death." Shao Tong stood up to rescue Jiangcheng, and finally did This thing with a narrow neck looks very timid.
The fat man stared at the malicious faces, wondering if there was a body supporting them underneath, or if it was just a head.
The people in Jiangcheng had already made up their minds. No matter what the guys outside said, they would never open the door. But then Fuqing and the others didn't say anything. Instead, they just rode on the wall and climbed in. This would scare the fat man. He was frightened. After all, he had just scolded these ghosts for not practicing martial ethics not long ago. He didn't expect that this would come true!
It’s really a good spirit that doesn’t work but a bad spirit!
Fu Qing and others seemed to have forgotten their unhappiness and immediately said: "Brother Jiang, there is some trouble in our village. We don't have enough manpower right now, so we need your help."
Zhang Qizheng replied with a smile: "We are not familiar with the place, so what can we do to help? It would be nice if we don't cause any trouble."
"No, you must help with this. Someone is missing in the village. You also saw the fog outside. Not long after the fog came over, the person disappeared!" Fu Qing spoke quickly, as if the situation was urgent. .
"Who is missing?" Zhu Jie couldn't help but ask.
"It's Xiuling."
"Her?" Jiang Cheng frowned, "Her grandpa just left. You should stay with her and take care of her. How could she get lost alone?"
Fu Qing shook his head in self-reproach, "It is true that we have our reasons, but Brother Jiang, it is useless to talk about it now. The main thing is to find talents quickly. Sister Xiuling has a very good relationship with her grandfather. She was in a good mood after he left. It's too bad. We're worried that she might end up committing suicide because of a sudden thought, and that would be a disaster!"
"The most important thing is time. Soon... it will be night soon!" Fu Qing urged in a hurry: "For the sake of Sister Xiuling's kindness in giving up her room to you, you should also do this, right? ?”
"As human beings, we should be kind." A villager behind him said in a righteous tone.
The fat man glanced sideways at him and thought to himself, please shut up quickly and don't let a lightning strike hit your mouth. People who tell lies and are struck by lightning will not be much better.
Having said that, Jiang Cheng and the others had no choice but to help, so they asked Fu Qing how to help. Fu Qing looked happy and arranged for Jiang Cheng and the others to be divided into several groups, and then teamed up with the villagers, and everyone followed different routes. Search separately and be sure to find Xiuling before nightfall.
But Jiang Cheng quickly realized the problem, "Li Bai is still sick. We can't all go out to help and leave someone to take care of her."
"Then you can leave one person alone. One person is enough." Fu Qing gave in, pacing back and forth, looking anxious.
Jiang Cheng looked around and felt troubled. Fatty must not be able to do it, otherwise he would not be able to cope with it if something happened, and Shao Tong couldn't handle it. Originally, Yao, Shun, and Yu were the best choices, but now the situation has become complicated. Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng said He insisted that the two would never separate, so only Zhang Qizheng was left.
"Haha, I'm old and can't compare to you young people, so I'll stay." Zhang Qisheng smiled with kindness on his face.
Looking at this face, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. Xiuling's disappearance was probably a trap. Jiang Cheng suspected that it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Their real target was Li Bai, so the situation faced by the person who stayed would be even more dangerous. Zhang Qizheng would not have thought of it. This, but he is still willing to stay.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Miss Li Bai." Zhang Qizheng said seriously, "You must be careful when you go out to find someone. Something strange may happen in the mist. Also, don't separate unless it is absolutely necessary."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng and others made simple preparations, and were then urged to take them away by Brother Fu Qing. Watching the group's backs disappear into the mist, Zhang Qizheng immediately closed the courtyard door.
