"...What do you mean, Li Yougui said that He Nian is in Zhao's house?" For some reason, Xie Jin didn't feel any surprise, but was more worried after learning the news.

The Zhao family's attitude towards He Nian, they are very clear, if He Nian separated from them just to go to Zhao's house, why didn't he go with them but choose to act alone?

There are too many suspicious things. According to the clues they have learned so far, even when He Nian was in the village, he had almost nothing to do with the Zhao family. Even if he was bullied, he didn't seem to take it seriously.

But knowing that their destination is also the Zhao family, but acting separately from them, what is He Nian thinking?

"Li Yougui also heard from the old farmer who delivered the vegetables. Although this point has yet to be verified, we are not allowed to wait any longer." Wen Liang took his mobile phone from Xie Jin, and he raised his finger to the ceiling. "We just happen to be here now. , look at the third message he sent."

The third message was sent by Wen Liang when he was holding his mobile phone just now, and it was still the information Li Yougui inquired from the old vegetable delivery farmer, "I asked, the old man paid more attention because he saw He Nian who shouldn't be in Zhao's house As a result, He Nian hasn't come out since yesterday until you went in just now."

"That is to say, if the information about the old vegetable delivery farmer is true, He Nian should still be here now." Wen Liang had no smile on his face, and subconsciously knocked on the Shenmu table with his index finger, "I'm afraid this news is also intentional by the Zhao family. Let it out to confuse the public, how about it, do you dare to take a gamble?"

"How do you gamble, leave here and look for He Nian in this building?" Ji Duan realized what Wen Liang wanted to do, and took a breath after thinking for a while, "Hiss, looking for someone on the Zhao family's site, no matter the weather The favorable location and people are very unfavorable to us.”

"So three people can't act." Wen Liang took out a long stick of dry tobacco from his arms, tapped the stick, and two illusory figures appeared behind them.

Tongtong Yuyu did not appear physically, and the resolute expressions of the two milk dolls could be vaguely seen in the misty light smoke. Although they looked naive, neither of them smiled like they used to.

"I'll go." Xie Jin broke the silence, he looked outside the tea room, Zhao Dong and Zhao Guangsheng hadn't come back yet, if he could sneak out at this moment, it would be a great opportunity.

"I'll be with you."

Almost without hesitation, Ji Duan followed up and said that it was impossible for him to let Xie Jin walk alone in this strange house, even if he ignored his current physical condition, he had become the three of them unconsciously. the weakest of them all.

"Xie Jin can do it, Old Ji you can't." Facing Ji Duan's defiant gaze, Wen Liang bluntly rejected his proposal, "Let's not say that one less of the three can barely cover up and fool the past, your health is too poor,Going alone here, I don't think Xie Jin would agree to let you go."

"Yes, I can't let you take risks." Xie Jin looked around again, and he held down the young man's hand before Ji Duan said a word, "Be obedient, we can't let you make any mistakes before the sacrifice begins, otherwise All our previous efforts were in vain.”

Xie Jin stood up, and two faint human-shaped smokes behind him quickly wrapped around his arms. After the smoke completely melted into his body, Xie Jin found that there were two small lotus patterns on the inner elbow joints of his arms.

Half on the left and half on the left, and when you put the two arms together, you will see a fully bloomed red blood lotus.

"Then I'm leaving, Zhao Dong's side..." After seeing Wen Liang nodding, Xie Jin slipped out along the way he came, and his figure quickly flashed past the vine-wrapped window, only less than a dozen It disappeared in seconds.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem with Tongtong Yuyu." Wen Liang saw that Ji Duan was a little distracted, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "After all, we are still here, and that old thief Zhao Dong dare not take Xie Jin How about it."

Slipping out of the tea room lightly, Xie Jin quickly walked through the corridor after making sure that there was no one around. He paused behind a stone screen, and then took out Wen Liang's cell phone.

Just now, Wen Liang swapped his mobile phone with his, and Xie Jin will contact Li Yougui on the other end of the phone in a gentle tone.

Even though he was not there, Li Yougui played a significant role in this sudden change.

The WeChat friend application has been approved, Xie Jin held his breath, recorded his current location with his mobile phone, and clicked send.

Li Yougui over there quickly played a voice, "Go to the end along the front, go out to the courtyard on the east side, and then go to the right hand side and pass through those stone jars, which is the kitchen where the old man delivers food."

"That old man saw He..." Xie Jin was just about to type, when he heard footsteps coming from behind the stone plate, he immediately shrunk his neck and crouched down to observe who was coming.

The stone plate was huge enough to hide three of them, Xie Jin was praying in his heart at this moment that that person would not come towards him, otherwise if he really met face to face, he might have to take some necessary extreme measures.

"Oh, I really don't understand what Elder Zhao is doing with that dumb man in his house, and he has to take care of his daily life every day. Why is my life so hard?"

The sluggish footsteps stopped, then bypassed the corridor where Xie Jin was, and walked slowly towards the other Lesser Dao.

Xie Jin bravely turned his head to look, and saw that the back of the person was an elderly woman with messy silver hair loosely tied behind her head, and she was dragging a bamboo food basket in her hand, as if she was about to give it to someone. Deliver food.

dumb?Could it be He Nian?

With the alarm bell in his heart, Xie Jin glanced at the yard behind him and went out. He hesitated for only a few seconds, but he still followed the woman with a cat on his waist.

The other party seemed to be walking in a convenient Lesser Dao. There was only enough space for one person to pass between the walls. Xie Jin did not follow him immediately, but watched the old woman disappear at the end of the road, and then crept over..

To ensure that the other party did not attack him in the dark at the end of the road, Xie Jin just followed. He found that he had made the right bet. Passing the path from the old woman, he came directly to the stone filled with stones that Li Yougui said. Cylinder yard.

Xie Jin hid himself in the shadows. He watched the old woman stagger and walked straight to the kitchen where the vegetable delivery farmer had been. He quickly followed.

"Huh?" The old woman seemed to hear something when she was about to leave the kitchen. She looked back subconsciously and saw that there was no one else in the yard except her, only the water lines in the stone jars were swaying in the wind.

Xie Jin almost shrank behind the stone jar closest to him. He felt as if his foot was stabbed, but the urgency was not as painful as he imagined.

Fortunately, the old woman didn't come to check, just mumbled that it might be a snake, and dragged her steps forward.

Slightly relieved, Xie Jin just wanted to adjust his posture and stood up, but a slight "hissing" sound came from his ears. He looked up and was looking at half of the snake heads that were sticking out of the water.

"!" He instinctively stepped back, and at the same time desperately covered his mouth to try not to make any noise. It was a red snake they had seen in the library, but compared to those densely packed little snakes, this one was obviously an adult, half a snake. The head is already the size of an adult's fist.

"Xie Jin dodge!" When the adult red snake was about to pounce, the blood lotus on Xie Jin's left arm suddenly flashed with golden light, and Tong Tong appeared and grabbed the snake seven inches with his tender little fleshy hand and smashed it violently. Fell hard to the ground.

It may also be that the body can't resist the bricks after all, and the snake's head is in the middle of the ground, and its body twitches a few times there and doesn't move.

"Are you alright?" Tong Tong glanced at the place where the old woman disappeared, and threw the snake corpse back into the tank, "Follow me, it's not safe here, there are all kinds of snakes in the stone tank."

Xie Jin immediately rushed forward when he heard the words, away from the stone jar behind him that he had just used as his backrest. With Tong Tong's help, he stood up, only to realize that his ankle was sore and painful.

"I'm fine... I just hid in a hurry just now. It was just a bruise. I'll recover in a while."

Moving his ankles, Xie Jin asked Tong Tong to attach to his arm again, and he limped in the direction the old woman had just made, even more so than the other party.

Thinking that he might miss this opportunity because of his recklessness, Xie Jin gritted his teeth and accelerated his pace. He reluctantly trot forward a few steps, and found a rusty iron gate in front of him.

One of the iron doors is half-open, and through the gap, you can see that there is a very remote courtyard inside. It seems that there is no second exit except this door.

Xie Jin approached cautiously, he possessed himself and hid by the crack of the door, and saw that the old woman was using a key to open a strange-looking lock.

He squinted his eyes and tried to see more clearly. The lock head seemed to be carved out of hard stone, with the lock cylinder embedded in it. The firmness of the lock might not be able to be broken with a hammer.

After the old woman unlocked the door, she knocked on the wooden door again, knocking and muttering, "Little mute, it's time to eat."

It took half a minute for the door to be opened by the people in the room, and a familiar face came out. Xie Jin covered his mouth at the door. It was indeed He Nian, but that face was only seen for two days, how could it be so haggard? ?

The old woman skillfully took out the food in the food basket, all of which were bloody half-cooked things. Xie Jin frowned when he saw it. Are these things the so-called rice?

"After eating, clean up the bowl and I'll come back at night." The old woman took the plate and bowl handed out by He Nian. The raw meat in it was almost untouched. Get up and go after you lock it.

Xie Jin hid in the half-height grass near the stone jar. He watched the old woman come out of the half-opened iron door without locking the outer door, and went straight back towards the way he came.

When the sound of stumbling footsteps disappeared completely, Xie Jin resisted the urge to cry out and threw himself in front of the door that seemed to be a wing in the small courtyard.

The stone lock was indeed locked again. He tried his best to suppress the trembling voice and knocked on the door: "...A Nian, I'm Xie Jin!"

He Nian finally came out 555
