Before Su Mu had time to say anything, Xiaoshi rushed out very nimbly. He was small, and the bushes half the height of a person were piled up as his best protection umbrella.

Su Mu could only stoop down and follow his footsteps carefully.

For a person who grew up in a modern society ruled by law, such an exciting experience was the first time.

The little stone slid a few turns, and then squatted down under a small tree. After Su Mu followed up, he pulled his clothes and asked, "Do you want to go in with me?"

Su Mu has not fully considered the question of whether to go in and investigate. He has always been a little concerned about his lack of martial arts, and he has a clear understanding of his abilities.

If the sheep accidentally fell into the tiger's mouth and became a victim of the knife, he would be very sorry for that girl, and he would also be sorry for the original owner's mother, Mrs. Qin, but right now in Wang Jiang City, he has neither anyone he knows nor any influence he can rely on.The Wang Jiang government office, which should have been the first to think of it, seems very unreliable, and it seems that it really can only rely on itself.

Xiao Shitou, on the other hand, was gearing up very excitedly. Seeing Su Mu bowed his head in thought, he continued to fan the flames: "Others like to sneak in at midnight, but my master told me that in fact, during the day, especiallyIt’s better in the afternoon, at night they are wary of someone coming, so it’s difficult to get in, but during the day they feel that no one will come in, so they slack off!”

He pointed to the guard who was dozing off by the side door and said in a low voice, "People are most likely to get sleepy in the afternoon, so how long will it be if you don't go in? What if your friend is inside and expects you to save him?"

Su Mu compared his own strength with Liu Xiaoran's. He felt that if he entered this meeting, the probability of Liu Xiaoran coming to save him would be much higher than the probability of him saving others.

But Xiaoshi didn't seem to think about it at all. Seeing Su Mu's hesitation, he got up quickly and flashed out from the bushes, whispering: "Look at me!" and rushed out.

Su Mu couldn't even catch the corner of his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound that was not too loud, and the guard at the door opened his eyes in a daze and looked around. His eyes were very confused. Just as they were trying to concentrate, another burstThe sound came out, and the two woke up now. After looking at each other, they raised the knife at their waists and walked out.

At this time, a figure suddenly jumped down from the corner of the wall, Xiao Shitou stood at the door and waved at Su Mu, mouthing: "Come on, come on—"

Seeing that the guard might come back at any time, even though Su Mu still hesitated in front of him, he was forced to make a decision by tension and oppression. He stood up from the bushes and ran to the door, but Xiao Shi grabbed himHis hand led him to run inside.

There were no strange footsteps from behind, so Xiaoshi also slowed down, and Su Mu was also relieved.

This coherent action was so thrilling that it took Su Mu a long time to realize that he had entered the cottage.

Compared with the guards at the gate, the cottage is less vigilant. Many houses are arranged in a criss-cross pattern, more like a small village hidden in the mountains. Although there are occasional people patrolling the road, most of themIt was very quiet all the time.

Su Mu carefully looked around, looking in through the half-open windows of some houses, and could see many girls sitting in the house, but almost all of them lowered their heads in silence and did not see any movement.

Little Stone was very vigilant all the way, listening carefully to the movement around him with his ears upright. Just as he came to one of the corners, he stopped suddenly, made a careful distinction, and nodded in one direction: "I heard something likeSomeone is talking."

After speaking, he carefully moved a few steps against the wall, and after going around a few huts, the voice gradually became clearer, the two of them held their breath together, squatted down and moved closer carefully.

The people in the room seemed to be drinking heavily, and from time to time they could hear the sound of wine jars colliding and a few indulgent laughter. After getting closer, Su Mu could hear what they were talking about more clearly.thing.

This was still some irrelevant chatter, Xiao Shitou listened patiently for a while, and then began to want to escape, but he was pressed on his chest by Su Mu with one hand and one shoulder, and he struggled for a long time without success.As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Su Mu was listening seriously, so he had no choice but to continue listening along with him.

After a few rounds of drinking, the conversations of the few people began to shift from trivial matters to some serious matters, and one of the low and rough voices first raised the topic.

"Hey—brothers, I've heard for a few days that the pretty boy is coming again?"

The other person hiccupped loudly and lasted for a long time, and then responded: "Yeah, this bitch is coming to our side to see the situation again, and I don't know what to do with him."

It seemed that a certain word resonated with the rest of the people, and a group of people suddenly burst into laughter, and then one person pretended to cough twice: "Don't say anything, be careful to be heard. If you want me to say it, thenThe reason why people can manage us is mostly because of that lord...haha, we can’t say no, we can’t afford to offend that lord.”

Su Mu listened carefully, and couldn't help but become more serious after hearing "that lord". Ordinary people must not be called adults. Could it be that this person is an official family member, could it be the governor Li lord?

But this group of people did not continue this topic except for a burst of meaningful laughter, and Su Mu could only temporarily put aside his doubts about the identity of this adult and continue listening.

"Hey, tell me, how do you feel in the past few days? There's a lot of business here, isn't it, the higher-ups have taken care of you again?"

"That's not bad. The limelight has been so intense recently, and the business is still going on. Tsk tsk, it's unusual." One of them picked up another wine jar, took another sip, and then spat on the ground, complaining loudlyAfter the wine was as light as water, he continued, "Didn't there be a death-seeker to investigate a few days ago? I heard that it was a high-ranking official from the capital—hey, this good capital city will not stay..”

"The capital city..." Su Mu's hand on Xiao Shitou's shoulder instantly strengthened. Just as he heard the misty Xiao Shitou, he felt a pain in his shoulder. When he turned his head, he saw that Su Mu's expression was a little more dignified than before.A little bit, there seemed to be a little anxious look between his brows, and he came back to his senses immediately.

"They're talking about that friend of yours, right?" Little Stone approached cautiously and asked.

Su Mu didn't answer, as if he didn't hear it, Xiao Shitou didn't make any noise when he saw this, and followed Su Mu obediently to continue listening.

"Hahahahahaha, they are all delivered to your door, so you have to give him a ride! But speaking of it, that man's martial arts is really not bad, or else he was drugged in advance in our territory, and we still have to pay him back."It’s not necessarily possible to win.”

The people around agreed again, and the topic of conversation began to turn into nonsense, and now Su Mu was too lazy to continue listening. He kept playing back the words he just heard in his mind, and his heart was in a mess.

Even though she really didn't want to think about it that way, everything Liu Xiaoran said matched what they said. Could it be that something happened to him?

Seeing that Su Mu's face was getting darker and darker, Xiao Shitou also noticed something from what he just said, reached out and pulled Rasum's sleeve and whispered: "We have to move, if they finish drinking laterCome out, we will be easily spotted."

Su Mu lowered his head in response, and just when he was about to get up, he heard Xiaoshi yell.

He reflexively covered the other person's mouth, but it was too late, and the people inside also heard the sound.

Little Shitou stared at Su Mu motionlessly with his eyes open. His eyes were full of fear. There was no other reason. Not far from his calf, there was a small white snake coiled up. It seemed that they were awakened by their arrival.It has lost it, and now it is staring at the front, and it may jump forward at any time.

Su Mu looked at it and basically ruled out the possibility that the snake was poisonous. It looked like it was probably a small non-poisonous water snake, but right now there was no time to popularize common sense with Xiao Shitou.He got up and started to walk out. As the footsteps gradually approached, Su Mu's tense nerves gave an order in an instant.

He quickly said next to Xiao Shitou's ear: "Run separately, remember to make good use of your lightness kung fu."

After speaking, he patted the little stone's head lightly, and randomly found a dead branch from the side. He had learned how to use a wooden stick to deal with snakes before, and now it can be considered useful.

After being lured several times, the white snake quickly ran to the branch. At almost the same time, Su Mu threw the branch and the snake in the direction where someone came.With a push on his body, the small stone was sent out before the person reached their corner.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw some distraught people running out from the end of the wall. As soon as he ran a few steps, he heard the group of people shouting.

"Someone broke in! Catch him!"

"Come on, come on!"

Su Mu's breathing stopped immediately, and he immediately started running. Although he had no training before, the school also required them to regularly clock in and exercise every semester, so the speed was no slower than that group of three-year-old and five-year-old people.

Even though he was not familiar with the terrain, Su Mu couldn't care about it anymore. He kept changing direction among the various paths between the houses. Although the sound from behind was a little quieter, the whole village seemed to be lively because of this episode.

Just when he was getting a little bit powerless, a pair of slender hands suddenly stretched out from the room, grabbed him and moved to the door, then covered his mouth and let out a soft "shh".

Su Mu took a closer look and saw that it was a woman she had never met. There were five or six other nervous women in the room. They stared at Su Mu closely, but no one spoke.

"Quick, hide there." The girl who brought him in dragged him to the bedside, cleaned up all kinds of debris under the bed, and stuffed Su Mu in.

The rest of the women also got busy, or pulled down the quilt a few inches, or covered the light gauze on their bodies in front. When the sound of someone opening the door sounded again, Su Mu could no longer see clearly what was going on outside.Scenes.

"Did you see someone just now?" someone asked gruffly.

The women didn't say a word, and this man seemed to have gotten used to it. After scolding "a bunch of dumb people", he started pacing in the house. Just after Su Mu heard the footsteps getting closer, there was a sudden shout from outside the door.

"There is movement over there!"

"Hurry up!"

Immediately, the man pushed the door and rushed out, and then slammed the door hard.

After everything became quiet, Su Mu heard the beating of his own heart in his chest, which almost jumped out of his throat.

Let us bless Su Mu!
