Chapter 098 The Missing Person The Lost Person
"Did no one really see where the three of them went?" Fang Lou Xidi had asked this question countless times, and his tone had changed from the anxiety at the beginning to a little sigh.
Everyone at the dinner table looked at each other, and the answer was still the same as before: "No."
21 people, except Yu Tianyi, there are three people missing for no reason, and the three of them belong to different teams and have not traveled together, and their identities have nothing in common—a farmer, a lady, and a scholar.
What's even more strange is that the companions of these three people didn't know how they disappeared, or even when they disappeared. They just turned around suddenly at a certain moment and found that they disappeared.
They were not filtered out until the city of Kavantia dissipated in the wind.
The desert is open and open, and you can see everything at a glance. The group still searched around for a long time unwillingly, but failed.
For no reason, three people were missing.
"Maybe they went back first?" Someone speculated.
With their last hope, they returned to the couple's residence. Here, they saw the domineering and out-of-group girl—Yu Tianyi, but they still didn't see the three missing people.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit depressed, and no one spoke.
What everyone really cares about now is not where these three people are, but why they disappeared and what they did wrong - after all, none of them want to make the same mistake without knowing it, and then disappear .
They now know nothing about the workings of that desert ghost city.
"Where do you think they will be?" Lin Hong asked Wan Guchuan in a low voice.
Before Wan Guchuan could speak, Yu Tian had already said, "I'm dead. Where else can I be?"
Her voice was not low, and everyone glanced at her.
In fact, everyone tacitly did not say it.
"Did you find something?" Lin Hong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, thinking that Yu Tian was also elusive, but he was able to discover something.
Yu Tianyi: "No."
Lin Hong: "..."
"Then where have you been?" Lin Hong still couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"Do I need to report to you?" Yu Tian also touched the hip flask on his waist.
Lin Hong was so angry that after much deliberation, the only thing he could cure her was: I'll tell your father. - It's really useless...
snort.Lin Hong decided to ignore her.Little boy.
Yutian is also quite proud.
She shook her flagon, there wasn't much left.Forgot to refill the wine last night.
She curled her lips and hung the flagon back on her waist.
Cheng Jinjiu put his wine jug on the table, "I still have wine here, but it's not good wine, Miss Ruoyu doesn't mind..."
"Drink it if it's wine." Yu Tian also looked at the wine pot and smiled, holding it in his hand, his attitude changed drastically, "Thank you!"
Cheng Jinjiu touched his nose, "No thanks."
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." The hostess brought another big pot of porridge.
Everyone saw the porridge again, and a bird faded out of their mouths, but their stomachs were rumbling, and they still had to eat.
The male host brought several stacks of bowls and went back to the backyard.
"You're tired, eat quickly." The hostess picked up the empty bowl and prepared to dress it up.
Yu Tian didn't know what kind of powder he grabbed, and threw it into the big pot of porridge in front of everyone. At the end, he even patted the remaining powder on his hands.
Everyone, including the hostess, was stunned!
Lin Hong looked at the pot of porridge, but didn't react for a while, "Is there a problem?"
Cheng Jinjiu shook his head blankly.
Wan Guchuan laughed.
Lin Hong turned to look at him.
Wan Guchuan:?
Lin Hong: "..."
"What did you put?!" Someone yelled at her.
Yu Tian also leaned on the chair and looked at the speaker, pointing to the hostess with his thumb, "Are you asking me or her?"
The hostess smiled at everyone's gaze, "Put in water, rice, and salt."
"It's fine next time." Yu Tian also looked at her with his eyes hanging.
The food is gone.Everyone was hungry, but they didn't know the situation, so they held back their breath and didn't speak for a while.
The hostess put down the bowl and spoon, "Since you don't trust me, please leave."
"This……"
"what?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Where can I go in this scorching desert during the day?Where can the hungry go?Where can I go when I am thirsty?
"No, no, of course we can trust Madam." Someone began to explain.
Just now they put something in the porridge and they endured it and didn't say anything. After all, they can change the porridge, but now they are going to be driven away, so how can it be done!
They all started talking.
"What's the matter with you little girl, you eat less and drink less in the desert, it's already kind of others to take us in, what are you still looking for here?"
"That's right, it looks like there's nothing to eat or drink. What did you add to the porridge? How can we eat?"
"What a waste."
"How did you find out that there was a problem before you brought it to your hand?"
"Whose child, don't make trouble if you don't help."
"That's right, if you don't come with us, who knows if she has good intentions or bad intentions."
"The kid is a bit naughty, Madam, don't worry about it. I'll pay for the porridge."
"We have nowhere to go."
"Ma'am and lord, we won't be able to stay long if a good man does his best."
"There's nowhere to go, we can trust Madam, we won't go."
"We believe in Madam Bodhisattva's heart, so we will stay."
The implication is that Yutian will also leave.
"Everyone, calm down first," Lin Hong said when he saw that the situation was not going well, "She is very skilled in medicine and is a well-known doctor in the world. There may indeed be something wrong with this porridge."
Yu Tian also glanced at Lin Hong.
"The little girl is also a famous doctor, so I am Hua Tuo."
Some people hesitated, but they just whispered: "The key is that there is nowhere to go..."
"I'm hungry too...I don't dare to eat things in the city..."
"I just want to drink water."
"With her words, there is no way to prove that there is something wrong with the porridge, right?"
Yu Tian had already thrown something into the porridge, even if there was a problem, no one could tell whether it was the hostess who added it or her.
"I was fine yesterday, what are you afraid of?"
"It can't do anything in broad daylight..." Someone muttered softly.
"My lady is kind and kind, isn't it?"
"We don't have anything to plot, do we? I'm poor and white."
"Everyone, calm down! If a little girl leaves alone, where can she go?" Someone also helped Yu Tianyi to speak, "Adults, please bear with me?"
No one spoke.
But the host's family is chasing away guests, and the quarrel is so tense, it seems that Yutian will not leave now, and everyone is very difficult to do, after all, they don't want to leave.
Fang Louxi remained silent.
They stayed here yesterday without incident, Madam treated them very politely, there is no way to verify whether what the little girl said is true or not, and if they leave, they will have nothing to rely on.
Everyone looks for clues without sleeping at night, and without rest or eating and drinking during the day, the body must not be able to bear it.
Moreover, the little girl was not on their way and could not be fully trusted.
Yu Tian also laughed, took a sip of the wine Cheng Jinjiu gave him, stood up, and stretched himself, "Then you can wish for luck."
The slender man had a big knife and a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and he was still shaking the wine jug given by Cheng Jinjiu in his hand, and walked towards the door without looking back.
"Little poor boy is really impulsive." Lin Hong also stood up.
Cheng Jinjiu looked at Yu Tianyi's back and smiled, then stood up.
Wan Guchuan picked up Zuigu on the table and followed Lin Hong.
"Let's go too." Ning Xiuyun went to pull Dai Qingqing.
Dai Qingqing actually didn't want to leave, she was a little tired, and didn't want to sleep in the desert in broad daylight... She glanced at Ning Xiuyun, looked at other strangers... gritted her teeth and followed Ning Xiuyun.
After a while, two people got up and followed them.
The table that couldn't sit down just now had eight seats vacant.
Now it is divided into two groups.
Among the remaining people, some had seen the power of Wan Guchuan before, and when they saw him leaving, they felt a little uneasy and began to hesitate, but there were also many people left, and they were still in the world of resentful ghosts. It's hard to tell what's going on outside.
Nothing happened here yesterday, so they took it for granted that nothing would happen here today, and they didn't want to take risks.
They still stand still.
The endless desert is open and open, with undulating dunes and smooth lines, as smooth as unflattened silk.
The dead trees are curled up in the distance, and everything is swaying in the heat wave.
"What are you doing so impulsively?" Lin Hong still couldn't hold back, and said to Yu Tianyi, "What if that couple gets into trouble at the table?"
"They don't dare." Wan Guchuan inserted the Zuigu sword into the leather buckle on his back with one hand and fixed it, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to administer the medicine."
"This couple is afraid of Brother Wan." Cheng Jinjiu said, "You can tell by the look in their eyes."
Cheng Jinjiu is used to messing around in the arena, so he is still very sensitive about fighting and killing.
What's more, even he himself was afraid of Wan Guchuan at the beginning - this tall and straight man is like a sword with a hidden edge, which may show its gnawing edge at any time.
"Actually, Miss Yu did a very good job." Cheng Jinjiu said.
"Most strong poisons are difficult to escape the noses of the Jianghu people, and presumably drugging is also a drug. But if they don't prescribe, they are not sure that they will be able to defeat Brother Wan."
"Even if Brother Wan first strikes to force them to live without evidence, they are just hermits who know martial arts, and everyone may not believe that they have the intention to do harm." Cheng Jinjiu continued to analyze.
"Now that Big Brother Wan is gone, this couple has nothing to fear. They probably won't prescribe drugs to a group of powerless people, and they will just kill people and steal their goods. Believe it or not, Miss Yu's appearance is also a big deal. Remind everyone to be vigilant."
Lin Hong quietly waited for him to finish his analysis, rubbed his nose, and said slowly: "Your Brother Wan can stop taking the drug, and then restrain them when they commit crimes at night—there is evidence and safety, and we don't have to stop now." Walking in the desert under the scorching sun."
Cheng Jinjiu: "..."
"Where can there be so many good ones, right or wrong? I can do whatever I like." Yu Tianyi said,
"If you believe it, you'll kill that woman. If you don't believe it, you'll be killed by that woman." Yu Tian also smiled wickedly, "It's more interesting to see them repent."
Yu Tian also glanced at Lin Hong, "I didn't ask you to go with me, did I?"
Lin Hong lost his temper, "I've already left, what else can I say."
Wan Guchuan laughed and said, "It's nothing wrong."
"Some of them lied." Wan Guchuan glanced at the boundless desert, as if looking for a place to hide.
"What do you mean?" Lin Hong frowned, not understanding.
"A fisherman is afraid." Wan Guchuan said, "He has been in a state of panic."
Lin Hong guessed: "Maybe he was scared because three people disappeared inexplicably?"
Wan Guchuan continued: "He wears the jade pendant of the missing woman."
——The jade pendant of the missing lady.
"It hangs on the belt of his underwear, and it dangles out of his coat when he walks." Wan Guchuan said, "I've seen this jade pendant on that missing woman's body, and it's not worth much."
Lin Hong was looking for other reasons to explain, "Maybe he just picked it up by chance?"
Wan Guchuan glanced down at the back of his hand, "Then why is he so scared?"
"He..." Lin Hong didn't know anymore.His gaze was also on Wan Guchuan's hand.
This is a beautiful hand with well-defined joints, long fingers, neat nails, slightly protruding blue blood vessels on the back of the hand, winding up the wrist, full of strength.
Lin Hong looked away...
"Then why did he hide it?" Lin Hong accepted Wan Guchuan's guess and explored further.
"I've been threatened." Wan Guchuan put down his hand.
threaten……
what is threatening him...
Threatening him not to reveal the whereabouts of the missing person...
What makes him so frightened...
Lin Hong felt chills down his spine.
Something lurks in that haunted sandbar ghost town... sneering at them from the shadows... and they don't know it.
Dai Weiwei suddenly said "Yeah".
Everyone looked back after hearing the sound.
