I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

She was originally a big beauty of Jiao Didi, but at this moment she looked extremely haggard.

Accompanying him were Zeng Tiancheng and several family servants.

"Mr. Gu, how's it going? Is there any news about my husband?"

As soon as he met Su Ling, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Not yet." Gu Ming shook his head: "I went to the cottage last night, and I can almost confirm that the recent disappearance has nothing to do with the bandits nearby. The possibility of bandits from other places is not ruled out."

Zeng Tiancheng cupped his hands involuntarily and said: "For the sake of the dog, Gu Jieyuan did not hesitate to break into the bandit's den alone, I am very grateful."

"Master Zeng, you don't need to be too polite. In this case, we'll keep going to the county government office to ask about the situation. If it doesn't work, we can send more people to inquire and search along the way, and we will always find some clues."

"Alright!"

So, a group of people rushed to the county government immediately.

As he walked, Su Ling couldn't help wiping away tears: "Father, who did our Zeng family provoke?"

Zeng Tiancheng sighed: "Okay, don't cry, the old man knows that you feel uncomfortable, so it's hard for the old man to feel bad?

Before you have definite news, you must keep your spirits up and not mess around. "

"Master Zeng is right, Mrs. Su, don't give up hope until the last moment."

"I didn't give up hope, I just felt uncomfortable"

"The old man now hopes that that brat will hide somewhere and spend his days and drinks."

Su Ling: ""

Soon after, a group of people came to the county government office.

After waiting for a while, Nie Hongshu came in a hurry, and he didn't sleep well.

"Lord Nie!"

"Master Zeng, you don't need to be too polite, just sit down and sit down."

While speaking, Nie Hongshu glanced at Gu Ming in relief, and let out a long sigh of relief.

After all, Gu Ming went to the cottage by himself last night, can he, the father-in-law, be worried?

Seeing that Gu Ming came back safe and sound, a hanging heart finally fell down.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Ming took the initiative to report: "Master Nie, after some investigation by the students, Master Zeng should not have been taken away by local bandits."

With other people around, Gu Ming naturally couldn't call him father-in-law or something.

"Yes." Nie Hongshu nodded thoughtfully, "Actually, I have always been puzzled by these disappearance cases. So far, there are six cases received, with a total of 13 missing persons.

There are three suspicious points: First, no matter if it is a foreign bandit or a bandit, if they want to kidnap someone, they will almost always choose the rich to start.

But among the 13 people, only four are considered wealthy, and the rest are either ordinary people or the accompanying servants.

Second, these 13 people have one thing in common, they are all middle-aged men.

Thirdly, although the locations of these robberies are different, after you circle them, you will find that the distance between each point is not far, roughly within a few miles of Xiaoliu Village as the center.”

"All men in their prime?"

Gu Ming suddenly became interested in the second doubt.

"That's right, why, is it possible that Gu Jieyuan thought of something?"

"Just a bold idea"

Gu Ming was about to talk about his thoughts, at this time, the master hurried over to report: "My lord, another person has disappeared."

"Huh? What's the situation?" Nie Hongshu asked with a frown.

"The person who reported the case was a villager from Xiaoliu Village. He said that two villagers in the village went to work in the fields yesterday afternoon, but they did not return overnight."

Nie Hongshu got up immediately and said: "You guys sit here for a while, I will go to ask about the situation."

As soon as he left, Su Ling couldn't help turning her head and asked anxiously: "Young Master Gu, what did you want to say just now, did you think of something?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Gu Jieyuan has something to say, but it's okay to say it, the old man is mentally prepared."

Gu Ming murmured: "I was thinking, maybe this kidnapper is not a human being!"

"not human?"

"To be precise, not humans!"

"what?"

Su Ling turned pale with shock.

"Of course, this is just my hypothesis. After all, we don't have too many clues now, so we might as well broaden our thinking and expand the scope of our search."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Su Ling couldn't help sobbing again.

Zeng Tiancheng also had a serious face, bowed his head and remained silent.

After a while, Nie Hongshu walked in with a sullen face.

"It's two more strong men, and it's already the seventh case. This is by no means a coincidence. The other party is obviously targeting people."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ming got up immediately and said, "Master Nie, it's not too late. The students should go to Xiaoliu Village to find out what happened."

"Alright, you go there first, and then I will send people to investigate and control."

Su Ling also stood up and said, "Young Master Gu, why don't I go back and ask some servants to go and help with the search."

"Okay, you go back and mobilize the manpower, I will go back first and then come to find you."

After returning to the small courtyard, Gu Ming and Nie Xiaoqian briefly explained the situation, and then said: "This matter is indeed a little weird, so I want to take Yingning with me. If it is really a demon or a ghost, maybe the baby will be killed." I would rather track and find the other party's whereabouts."

"squeak"

Before Nie Xiaoqian could speak, Ying Ning ran over excitedly, with an air of eagerness to show off her skills.

Not long after, Gu Ming rushed to Zeng's house with Ying Ning.

Su Ling arranged for more than ten servants to go to Xiaoliu Village with Gu Ming.

Originally, she also wanted to go with her, but Gu Ming dissuaded her. After all, it is not convenient for a woman to go out.

Xiaoliu Village is not far from the county seat, less than ten miles away. A group of people walked hurriedly and arrived at Xiaoliu Village before noon.

Although Zeng Dehao didn't disappear here, but it must be related.

After entering the village, some villagers brought a group of people to the slope north of the village.

"The A Niu brothers worked here, and they didn't return until dark. The villagers searched everywhere, but they haven't been seen until now."

Gu Ming nodded, and ordered the servants to disperse and search for clues.

At the same time, he secretly ordered Ying Ning to sniff around to see if there was any evil spirit.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Ying Ning ran back excitedly, waving her paws to keep beckoning

Gu Ming understood what it meant, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately greeted all the servants: "You stay here and continue searching, and wait for the people from the government to come."

"Where is Mr. Gu going?"

One of the servants couldn't help asking.

"I'm going to go around the nearby mountains"

After finishing speaking, Gu Ming followed Ying Ning's footsteps and ran towards the mountains.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Ying Ning was extremely excited, as if letting the wind go.After all, it grew up in the mountains since it was a child, and when it entered the mountains, it naturally had a sense of intimacy.

Chapter 156 Kill the Rat Demon with One Sword!

The mountains around Xiaoliu Village are not high, but they are steep.

In addition, there are often wild beasts and even ghosts in the mountains, so few local people venture into the mountains, let alone any villages.

Stop and go all the way.

After climbing a few mountains, Ying Ning seemed to have discovered something, and her expression became excited.

"squeak"

Ying Ning turned her head, raised her front paw and pointed.

Seeing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but step forward lightly and saw that there was a long and narrow valley below, and there was a courtyard next to the mountain wall?

How can there be people living in such a remote place?

Gu Ming subconsciously used his discernment to look at it, but he couldn't see anything because the distance was too far.

But because of this, Gu Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration: why not make a telescope?

At present, telescopes are quite rare gadgets in this world, and people generally call them telescopes.

Folks generally don't see binoculars, and most of them are generals in the army or princes and nobles who only have this thing.

To others, the binoculars are magical, but to Gu Ming, the principle is so simple that he can make one himself.

Of course, this is something that will happen after we go back. Right now, we have to gather our energy and find out the situation here first.

Gu Ming was about to take a closer look, but unexpectedly, a task reminder popped up in his mind. Click on the task interface to see:

Exterminate the rat spirit

Complete the task, reward points 50 points

It turned out to be a mouse spirit at work.

At the same time, Gu Ming subconsciously checked the tasks he had received before, and they were able to submit them?

This can't help but surprise Gu Ming.

Originally thought that the task of 100 points was quite difficult and not so easy to complete, but it was achieved without knowing it.

In this way, Gu Ming also gained a new understanding of special tasks.

The number of points does not absolutely represent the difficulty of the task, the most important thing is to see what kind of task it is.

For example, saving Du Shiniang is a relatively special task, after all, she belongs to the heavens.

Submit the task and get 100 points smoothly.

In line with the principle of spending as much as you have points, Gu Ming couldn't help but click on the mall to check it out.

Currently, skills and skills have reached the upper limit of the character level and cannot be improved for the time being.

Weapons can be upgraded, but it takes 300 points to upgrade the writing brush to cyan quality

After all, it only takes 40 points to upgrade from white to blue, and the upgrade from blue to cyan spans so much at once, which inevitably makes Gu Ming complain about the system.

However, sooner or later you will still have to upgrade.

In view of the fact that the current points are not many, Gu Ming took the next step and exchanged 40 points for a talisman, planning to upgrade the Qinglian Sword to blue quality, and then spent 50 points to buy a set of Go.

Since it is produced by the system, it is naturally not comparable to ordinary Go.

The four skills of "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting" that Gu Ming has comprehended are not only used for romance, they can also be converted into an auxiliary skill after reaching a certain level.

Currently, Gu Ming's chess skill has reached level 4, and he can already turn it into a fighting skill, but the premise is to cooperate with the chess pieces produced by the system.

So the 50 points have to be spent no matter what.

After buying the props, Gu Ming thought of taking out the Qinglian Sword and started upgrading.

Congratulations, you have obtained Qinglian Sword Blue

As the system information passed by, a new sword appeared in Gu Ming's hand.

Sure enough, quality is everything.

Compared with before, both the blade and the scabbard of the Qinglian Sword have undergone some changes, and they look more refined, with a faint mysterious light on the blade.

Then he aimed at a stone the size of a washbasin nearby and cut the stone in half like cutting tofu.

Ying Ning squatted on one side, blinking her eyes with a puzzled expression.

"Okay, little guy, go stealth and take a look to see if there are any hostages in that courtyard. Remember, don't fight hard with the other party, and come back as soon as there is any trouble."

"squeak"
