The more Zhang Langzhong heard, his face became more and more serious. His eyes were staring at Xiaohong, as if he wanted to see her through.
The atmosphere inside the house became tense, and an inexplicable sense of depression enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Doctor Zhang, Xiaohong..." Grandma Lin asked worriedly, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Doctor Zhang.
"Grandma Lin," said Zhang's doctor in a deep breath and a heavy tone, "I need to take the pulse of Miss Xiaohong again immediately." His voice was filled with a hint of unquestionable determination, which made Xiaohong even more uneasy.
Doctor Zhang walked to Xiaohong, stretched out his hand, gently placed it on her wrist, and felt her pulse carefully.
There was silence inside the house, and only the heavy breathing of Doctor Zhang and the rustling sound of the wind blowing leaves outside the window were heard.
After a long time, Doctor Zhang finally put down Xiaohong's hand, his face became more serious, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was about to say something difficult to speak.
"Doctor Zhang, what's wrong with Xiaohong?" Luo Xiaoyu asked anxiously, her voice trembling with a hint of trembling, as if she had a premonition of something bad.
Doctor Zhang raised his head, glanced at everyone, and slowly spoke, "I...I doubt..."
Inside the room, everyone's eyes were all focused on Doctor Zhang's body, and the air seemed to have solidified.
Xiaohong's heart pounded, and she clenched the corners of her clothes nervously, and her fingertips were a little white.
Luo Xiaoyu widened her eyes and stared at Doctor Zhang without blinking, as if she wanted to see the answer from his face.
Grandma Lin even held her breath and held her hands tightly together, and the veins on the back of her hands were slightly raised.
Doctor Zhang's face was as pale as paper, and his lips were trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain some emotion.
He wanted to speak but stopped. He opened his mouth several times, but swallowed it again, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
His heavy breathing sounded particularly clear in the quiet room, and each sound seemed to hit everyone's hearts, making the tension even stronger.
Xiaohong's heart was raised to her throat, and an indescribable sense of fear surged into her heart. She felt that her blood was about to stop flowing.
Luo Xiaoyu was so anxious that she stomped her feet and couldn't help but urged: "Dr. Zhang, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Her voice was a little sharp, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.
Doctor Zhang finally raised his head and glanced at everyone, with a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and spoke slowly, his voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of undetectable tremor: "I suspect... this matter is related to King Hunter."
"Win Hunter?" Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed at the same time. The two looked at each other. They never thought that this matter would be related to the witty Wang Hunter who was usually silent.
Grandma Lin frowned, her old face was full of solemnity. She remained silent, but she kept twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, obviously thinking about something.
The atmosphere inside the house was even heavier and so depressing that it was breathless.
"What's wrong with King Hunter?" Luo Xiaoyu asked anxiously, her voice trembling a little.
Grandma Lin also raised her head, with a hint of worry and anxiety in her eyes, staring at Doctor Zhang tightly, as if she wanted to get an answer from him.
Doctor Zhang slowly shook his head, with a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He took a deep breath again and said, "Wang Hunter may... not..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed, as if he was hesitating whether to continue talking.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting for his next words, he suddenly stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out of the house, leaving everyone with a confused back.
The sudden move of Doctor Zhang's sudden rise scared everyone. Xiaohong covered her chest and her face turned pale in an instant. She subconsciously looked at Grandma Lin, her eyes full of horror.
Luo Xiaoyu jumped up even more, grabbed Xiaohong's hand, and asked nervously: "What's wrong with him? Wang Hunter... Could it be that he has some strange disease?"
"Yes, nephew, Wang Liehuo..." Grandma Lin was also a little worried. She wanted to ask Wang Liehuo if she had an emergency, but she swallowed it back because Doctor Zhang's reaction was too strange, unlike having encountered an ordinary disease.
Doctor Zhang stood at the door with his back facing everyone. When he heard their questions, he slowly shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "It's not a disease...it's more troublesome than that."
"More troublesome than illness?" Luo Xiaoyu repeated this sentence, and her heart became more confused. "It's not disease, what is that? Could it be..." She suddenly thought of something, her face turned paler in an instant, and her voice lowered, "Is it... a traitor?"
Xiaohong's face also became even more ugly. She grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, her fingertips were cold, and her body was trembling slightly.
Grandma Lin also fell silent. The worry on her face became stronger, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were rotating faster.
Doctor Zhang turned around and looked at everyone,"
Xiaohong's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She felt that her breathing became difficult. Her chest seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, so dull that she couldn't breathe.
Luo Xiaoyu was also stunned. She held Xiaohong's hand tightly, her palms were covered with cold sweat and her eyes were full of horror.
"Dangerous things? What dangerous things?" Luo Xiaoyu's voice trembled, and she felt that her heart was about to jump out.
Doctor Zhang did not answer directly. He walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and then slowly spoke: "I suspect... Wang Hunter may..." He paused, glanced at everyone, and said in a low tone, "It may be related to the recent... disappearance cases that happened in the city."
"Missing case?" Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed at the same time. They widened their eyes and looked at Doctor Zhang in disbelief.
Zhang Langzhong nodded and said in a heavy tone: "I heard from friends in the city that there have been several missing cases in the city recently, and all the missing people... are all..." He paused again, as if he was considering the words, "They are all... people with special identities."
"Special identity?" Luo Xiaoyu became even more confused, "What's the special identity? Could it be... an official?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head and said, "It's not an official, it's...yes..." He paused again, then lowered his voice and said, "It's...one in the world."
"People in the martial arts world?" Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu were even more shocked. They never thought that this matter would be related to the martial arts world.
Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "I suspect that Wang Huowen may... be the people who are looking for in the world."
"What?" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed. She grabbed Doctor Zhang's arm and asked anxiously, "This... how is this possible?"
Doctor Zhang did not answer. He just glanced at Luo Xiaoyu deeply, then turned around and walked out the door, saying as he walked, "I'll go talk to Wang Liehuo, you..." He paused for a moment and looked back at Grandma Lin, "Mother-in-law, take good care of them."
"Oh, okay." Grandma Lin quickly agreed.
Doctor Zhang left, and only Xiaohong, Luo Xiaoyu and Grandma Lin were left in the room.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.
"This...what is going on?" Luo Xiaoyu murmured to herself.
Xiaohong grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, her face pale and her lips trembled slightly.
Grandma Lin sighed, walked to the two of them, patted their shoulders gently, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, children, everything will be fine..."
Grandma Lin smiled kindly, gently stroked Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu's shoulders like the rough bark of an old tree.
"Children, don't be afraid. The sky falls, and there are still tall men holding on. Let's wait first and see what Doctor Zhang said." A trace of undetectable worry flashed across her turbid eyes. She clasped her hands together and muttered something in a low voice.
Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu couldn't help but lean on Grandma Lin, as if this could draw some strength.
Although Xiaohong was afraid, she was born with a sense of unyielding desire to admit defeat.
"Mother-in-law, I think we can't sit there. Wang Liehuo treats us well in normal times. If he really encounters trouble, we can't stand by and watch!"
Luo Xiaoyu held Xiaohong's sleeve tightly, her face pale and her voice trembled, "But...what if it's really dangerous like what Doctor Zhang said? We'll go..." She didn't dare to say it anymore, and all kinds of terrible scenes appeared in her mind.
Grandma Lin also frowned worriedly, "Yes, Xiaohong, this is not a joke. What Doctor Zhang said sounds very dangerous. We women can't help much even if we go there, and maybe even cause trouble."
When Doctor Zhang came back, he saw this scene: Grandma Lin, Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu were squeezed tightly together, like three trembling birds.
A hint of sympathy surged in his heart, and walked to them, his tone softened, "Mother-in-law, Xiaohong, Xiaoyu, don't worry too much. I will definitely find out the truth of the matter."
Xiaohong raised her head and looked firm, "Dr. Zhang, I want to ask Wang Liehuo what happened to him. Even if there is really any danger, we should know the truth."
Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed Xiaohong, "Xiaohong, don't be impulsive! What if..."
Grandma Lin also advised: "Xiaohong, be obedient, this matter is too dangerous..."
But Doctor Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaohong is right. We should ask Wang Liehuo. Perhaps, he needs help more than us." He looked at Xiaohong with a hint of praise in his eyes, "But we have to act carefully..." He suddenly stopped, his eyes turned out of the window, and his face suddenly changed, "Someone is coming..." Doctor Zhang looked at Xiaohong with appreciation and nodded, "Xiaohong is right. Instead of making random guesses here, it is better to go directly to Wang Liehuo to ask clearly. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a lot of battles." Although his tone was still calm, it was filled with unquestionable determination, which made everyone who was originally panicked calm.
Xiaohong looked at Doctor Zhang gratefully, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.
She has always been an independent girl, and she is not afraid even when facing unknown dangers.
Seeing this, Luo Xiaoyu mustered up the courage to nod, held Xiaohong's hand tightly, and expressed support.
Although Grandma Lin was worried, she saw that her two children were so brave, and she no longer stopped them. She just prayed silently, hoping that everything would be safe.
Under the leadership of Doctor Zhang, everyone walked towards Wang Liehu's house.
The sun sets, the sky is getting darker, the paths in the village are winding, and the trees on both sides are swaying in the breeze, making rustling sounds like ghostly whispers.
Wang Liehu's house is located on the edge of the village, surrounded by a dense forest, which looks particularly gloomy at the moment, as if some unknown danger is lurking.
As the distance got closer, everyone's pace became slower and slower, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Xiaohong's heartbeats faster and faster, as if it is about to jump out of her chest.
She held Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, her palms covered in cold sweat.
Luo Xiaoyu's face was also a little pale. She followed Xiaohong tightly, not daring to relax at all.
Grandma Lin kept chanting Buddhist scriptures, hoping to bless everyone with peace.
Doctor Zhang walked in front, his eyes sharp and he observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.
Suddenly, he stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Doctor Zhang nervously.
He slowly squatted down, picked up something on the ground, and looked at it carefully.
That's a...
"This is..." Zhang's face changed suddenly, his tone was filled with shock and uneasiness, "This is Wang Hunter's...arrowhead."
The tip of the arrowhead is stained with dark red blood, which looks particularly dazzling in the dim light.
Doctor Zhang suddenly stood up and looked around, "Be careful, there may be danger here!"
Xiaohong's heart sank suddenly, and a chill rushed straight from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She subconsciously wanted to shout Wang Liehun's name loudly, but Luo Xiaoyu covered her mouth.
"Don't shout! What if something is alarmed..." Luo Xiaoyu said in a low voice, Grandma Lin nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement with Xiaohong's actions.
Everyone approached Wang Liehu's house carefully, taking every step with great caution.
The surrounding trees sway in the wind, making rustling sounds like ghostly whispers.
The shadows of the trees were swaying, as if something would emerge from the darkness at any time.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air, which was disgusting.
Xiaohong grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, her palms covered in cold sweat.
Her heartbeats faster and faster, as if she is about to jump out of her chest.
Luo Xiaoyu's face was also a little pale. She followed Xiaohong tightly, not daring to relax at all.
Grandma Lin kept chanting Buddhist scriptures, hoping to bless everyone with peace.
The wooden door of Wang Liehu's house was half-closed, and a faint light shone through the crack of the door.
Doctor Zhang took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.
"Wind Hunter? Are you at home?" he asked tentatively.
There was silence inside the house, without any response.
Everyone walked into the house and a musty smell came to their noses.
The light inside the house was dim and I could only barely see the surrounding scenery.
The furniture was placed in messy ways, and some debris were scattered on the ground.
Everything seems particularly weird.
"Wang Hunter..." Xiaohong's voice trembled, and she felt as if something was blocking her throat.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew from behind, making everyone's backs chill.
They turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.
"What's going on?" Luo Xiaoyu asked in horror.
Doctor Zhang frowned and carefully inspected the surrounding environment.
"It seems that someone has been here..." He said, pointing to the messy footprints on the ground.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, getting closer and closer.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the door nervously.
A black shadow appeared at the door, holding a bright dagger in his hand.
"Who is it?" Doctor Zhang shouted sternly.
The black shadow did not answer, but rushed in and wielded his dagger to stab everyone.
Everyone exclaimed and dodged one after another.
The black shadow is extremely fast and its move is fatal.
Doctor Zhang quickly pulled out the medicine box he carried with him to block the black shadow's attack.
"Run!" Doctor Zhang shouted loudly.
Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled Grandma Lin out.
The black shadow chased them reluctantly, and was about to catch up with them.
At this moment, the door of Wang Liehu's house was suddenly knocked open from outside.
A tall figure appeared at the door, holding a hunting knife in his hand.
"Stop!" The person who came was Wang Hunter.
Everyone thought it would be safe to enter Wang Liehu's house...
Everyone ran into the yard, and a big rock fell to the ground in their hearts, thinking that they had found shelter.
However, this illusion of tranquility was instantly broken.
Several hidden weapons broke through the air, and rushed towards everyone with sharp whistles.
"Be careful!" Zhang Langzhong was quick-eyed and quickly pushed Xiaohong away, but he couldn't dodge himself. A hidden weapon brushed his cheek, leaving a blood mark.
Luo Xiaoyu couldn't dodge, and a hidden weapon cut her arm, and the blood instantly dyed her sleeves red.
"Ah!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed, covering her injured arm, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Seeing this, Xiaohong was anxious and grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's hand and asked in panic: "Xiaoyu, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Seeing this, Grandma Lin didn't care about anything else and hurriedly searched for something that could be bandaged.
She trembled with her hands and muttered the words: "Blessed by Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva blessed by Bodhisattva..."
"Don't panic!" Doctor Zhang endured the pain and calmly observed the situation around him.
He found that the hidden weapon was shot from outside the courtyard wall, and the range was accurate, which was obviously done by the master.
He secretly cried in his heart, it seemed that he was really in trouble this time.
"Xiaoyu, bear with it!" Zhang Langzhong took out some herbs from the medicine box and prepared to treat Luo Xiaoyu's wounds.
"Who is it? How dare you attack us!" A cold voice came from outside the courtyard wall.
Everyone looked in the sound and saw a man in black standing on the wall, holding a crossbow arrow in his hand, facing them.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Zhang Langzhong asked sternly.
The man in black sneered and said, "If you want to blame, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business!"
After saying that, the man in black raised the crossbow arrow again and aimed at everyone.
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the house and knocked the man in black down the wall.
"King Hunter!" everyone shouted in surprise.
Wang Liehuo patted the dust on his body, looked coldly at the man in black who was lying on the ground, and then said to everyone: "Come in the house!"
Everyone hurriedly followed Wang Liewo into the house.
Chapter completed!
