In the evening, Ji Rou didn't know how she returned to Huihao Inn. Today she got a bronze treasure chest, and the total value of the treasures in it exceeded 200 days of refining coins. She must have been very happy to obtain such a rare wealth in a few years. Even her steps would fly up. However, now she is in a bad mood.
In addition to Shadow Killing the Cang Yue and Storm Ring in the treasure chest, she left all the things she needed for the miserable grandfather and grandson. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang's miserable experience reminded her of her grandfather who loved her when she was a child. She tried her best to persuade the grandfather and grandson to move out of Taiqing Town, but failed.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? The treasure map disappoints you?" Xiongba came down from the second floor and saw Ji Rou sitting with a gloomy face. Today, the dragon soul finally accepted it. Tomorrow is the day to meet with Guo Shao every half month, but the latter did not appear in the previous few times.
Ji Rou frowned slightly, with a bit of sorrow. "Brother, it's not a treasure map. The things in the treasure map are very rich. I got a shadow killing the crappy moon and a storm ring. Today I encountered something, which was a bit messy."
Xiongba sat down next to Ji Rou. At this time, Qi Xuan and Liu Quansi walked in from outside one after another. They all saw Ji Rou's strangeness.
Ji Rou would not hide these heart-to-heart partners. She now tells about what happened in the afternoon and the situation of Old Man Jiang.
The three men frowned after hearing this. Xiongba said first: "Girl, think about it. This kind of thing happens every day. You have been persuading you for so long and have tried your best. If it weren't for you today, that girl would have been stolen long ago, right?"
Qi Xuan said, "Brother, this is wrong. Can that little girl avoid it once, can she avoid it again? Since she has been exposed, I think those people will not give up. Maybe tomorrow."
Liu Quansi next to him hugged his hands. In a few months, he had integrated into the group. He lowered his head and thoughtful, and waited until Qi Xuan finished speaking, saying, "If I were you, I would have killed them on the spot. Don't wait until tomorrow. If you don't worry about them, you should go back and have a look now."
"Well? Xiao Si, why are you sure that those people will take action tonight?" Although Liu Quansi was the last one to integrate into the group, as the number one think tank under Chen Ping, he had extraordinary wisdom. After several months of contact and understanding him, Xiongba and the other two attached great importance to him. Many times his opinions were proven to be good in the end.
Liu Quansi still hugged his chest with a serious expression: "It's just intuition. If he is not stupid, even if he is scared by Ji Rou for a moment, he might turn it back after he reacts. Even if he doesn't have the courage, he can still send someone to secretly monitor the people in the yard. I'm afraid Ji Rou will leave..."
Before she finished speaking, Ji Rou had changed color. She suddenly stood up and rushed out at the door regardless of Xiongba and others. She was extremely worried. Mr. Jiang, Qian'er, don't have anything to do.
Xiongba and others were afraid that she would make mistakes, so they looked at each other and followed.
...
There is a teleportation array left by the witch hunter outside Taiqing Town. However, because few people rarely go to Taiqing Town, they do not use the teleportation scroll to be associated with it.
When Ji Rou appeared at the entrance of Taiqing Town again, it was more than an hour later. It was already late at night, and the entire Taiqing Town was swallowed up by the night. There was no moonlight tonight. The town at the foot of Taiqing Mountain was as quiet as a tomb. On the late autumn night, you could not see your fingers, and the occasional cry of autumn insects made the night more peaceful. So late, the witch hunters had already rested.
Ji Rou supported the fireball to illuminate the fireball and ran into the town. Because of the rapid speed, the tail flame of the fireball was blown back by the wind. She was worried about the safety of the grandfather and grandson, and was anxious all the way. Thirty miles away, she ran over there without stopping. When she arrived at the entrance of the town, she didn't care about rest. With the memory of the afternoon, she ran straight to the yard at the foot of the mountain. A pounding heart had already risen to her throat.
"Don't have anything wrong, uncle and Xiaorou will blame herself." At this moment, her speed was even faster than that of Xiongba who refined the spirit. The darkness covered her anxious expression, and the sound of anxious footsteps showed that its owner was in a mess.
There was no sound in the dark yard. As soon as Ji Rou stepped into the door, she smelled a bloody smell, and her face was pale in an instant. The next second, she seemed to step on her feet and staggered, and her body lost its stability. She rushed forward a few steps and almost fell down. She finally stabilized. When she turned around, Qi Xuan and Liu Quansi followed her to the door with a fireball. There was also Xiongba, even a junior spirit refining person, running rapidly for dozens of miles, and she was breathing.
Three balls of fireballs pounded with the wind, driving away the darkness. The small courtyard surrounded by small fences gradually appeared in front of you, and the outline of the wooden house in front became clearer.
The broken tables and chairs were wading in the yard in a row, looking very messy. Most of the fences surrounded by people were destroyed, with grass and wood chips everywhere, and were devastated. There seemed to be a sound of flowing water. Following the faint sound of flowing water, Ji Rou saw the first obstacle that had just tripped her. The next second, a scream cut through the tranquility of the night sky.
The obstacle was a figure lying on the ground, to be precise, a corpse. A steel knife was inserted on the back of the corpse. The gray hair and the grey clothes covered with patches were dyed red with blood. Ji Rou recognized this simple dress, which was worn by Old Man Jiang whom I saw in the afternoon.
He was really dead. Ji Rou covered her mouth and stared at the corpse lying towards her. Tears of self-blame burst out from her eyes. Old Man Jiang's shriveled old hand stretched forward, and his fingers were deeply pierced into the soil. A large pool of blood dragged behind her feet extended to the blood at the door of the wooden house, as well as the traces of being scratched by the bright red fingers on the soil, indicating that after he was stabbed in the back by a steel knife, he had crawled out for a while before he died.
What kind of thing made a dying old man so unwilling? The fireball in Ji Rou's hand had been extinguished. She walked towards Old Man Jiang with no control and turned his people over. The old man's eyes were still open, and his eyes that had lost their vitality were full of despair and resentment. He died with his eyes closed.
Ji Rou's tears of sadness infected the three people at the door. She sighed and vomited out. "Girl, let's have a grief. Let's find the little girl you mentioned first." The old man is dead, so the little girl must be in danger. Xiongba didn't know how to comfort her.
"Yes, there is Xiao Qian." Ji Rou didn't bother to wipe the eyes from her face, summoned the fireball to light up, and ran into the wooden house. After a long time, she walked out with heavy steps. She didn't find anyone.
Xiongba and Qi Xuan were both standing at the door. Seeing Ji Rou's disappointed look, he guessed the matter roughly.
"Damn it, am I still a human?"
Xiongba couldn't help but feel angry, and slapped it out with a palm, and the fence door was broken. The situation was obvious. In the afternoon, the guys returned and took Qian'er away and killed Old Man Jiang. Thinking of the thin character described by Ji Rou, this girl who was only eleven or twelve years old would have the tragic fate that she would be next.
