Everyone present was a little frightened when they heard that it was a puppet technique.
Some wizards in this small country do know such crooked magic as puppetry and soul-stirring. Unexpectedly, the disappearance of these five people is related to the wizards here.
"So the disappearance of the five people is not necessarily caused by ghosts, but that there are wizards behind them, and it is man-made." Shen Zixuan analyzed.
Lu Xingguo looked at Gu Li, "Is there a wizard who knows witchcraft in your village?"
Guli shook his head, "We don't have one in our village, but there used to be a very powerful wizard in our area. But he passed away a few years ago. After his death, we didn't have a wizard here."
No matter what, things have made some progress. Lu Xingguo was going to send the news back to the country and ask people in the country to find ways to investigate the wizarding power in this small country.
"I wonder what the purpose of this wizard hiding in the dark is. Does he want to capture us all one by one? The method used to capture Miao Qingqing today is exactly the same as the method used to take away Ning Haokun yesterday."
Murong Kang and Bai Xiuzhu just followed the direction of the crying, but found nothing.
With yesterday's precedent, they felt that the woman's cry might just be their hallucination, meant to lure them away as a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Fortunately, Gu Xueqing was not fooled, and Miao Qingqing was not taken away.
After dawn, Lu Xingguo decided to let everyone go back to the village to rest for a day.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back to the hotel and spend the night today."
When everyone returned to the village, Gu Xueqing found that the villagers looked very surprised after seeing them, as if they couldn't believe that they had returned safely.
But due to the communication barrier, no one in the village came up to talk to them. They just glanced at them in panic and looked away. Only Guli stayed with them.
Gu Xueqing and Qi Yanyan were like people who were completely excluded from the village. The people in the village did not give them a good look and did not have any interaction with them.
After arriving at the hotel, Guli asked everyone to have a good rest and said he would prepare dinner for everyone.
"I will ask my grandma to prepare a table of our special dishes for you. Everyone has worked hard for so long. I hope you can eat well and sleep well today."
Hearing what Gu Li said, Lu Xingguo gave him some more money.
"Thank you for preparing food for all of us. You can use the money to buy groceries. I won't let you go to waste."
"No, we can't buy any vegetables with money here. We raise our own chickens and ducks. You really don't need to pay me. You gave me so much reward, it's enough. I really don't need to pay more."
Gu Li wanted to refuse, but Lu Xingguo insisted, and in the end Gu Li had no choice but to accept the money.
After Guli collected the money, the evening dinner was indeed much richer.
Facing a table full of meat and vegetables, the few people who could only eat and drink water and compressed food these days all drooled unsatisfactorily, and they all couldn't wait to use their chopsticks.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Guli’s cooking skills were quite good. These meat dishes not only looked very tempting, but also tasted delicious.
Everyone was feasting, but Gu Xueqing looked at the food in front of her and did not move her chopsticks.
When Shen Zixuan and Miao Qingqing saw that Gu Xueqing refused to eat, neither of them moved.
Qi Yanyan didn't eat either, but frowned at the greasy food in front of him.
"Brother, do you have a bad appetite because of the injury on your foot?" Qi Lanling asked worriedly.
Seeing Qi Yanyan nodded, Qi Lanling stood up without touching the food on the table.
"Then I'll go make some porridge for you." Qi Lanling glanced at Miao Qingqing again, "Qingqing, if you feel uncomfortable and can't eat, then I'll make you some porridge too."
When Miao Qingqing nodded, Qi Lanling went to borrow the hotel's kitchen.
Qi Lanling met Gu Li and Gu Li's mother in the kitchen.
Guli's mother was very panicked when she saw Qi Lanling appearing here, and looked at her with wide eyes and helplessness.
Qi Lanling smiled friendly at Grandma Guli.
"Miss Qi, why are you here? Is there something wrong with any of my grandma's dishes?" Gu Li asked with a smile.
Qi Lanling shook his head, "The food cooked by your mother is delicious, but both my brother and Qingqing were injured, so they couldn't eat the food, so I just thought of making them a bowl of porridge."
When Gu Li heard what she said, he said angrily: "I didn't take them into consideration. This was my mistake. Miss Qi, please go back to eat quickly. I'll ask my mother to make porridge for them now."
"It's okay, don't bother your grandma. I can make porridge quickly, I'll do it."
Seeing Qi Lanling's insistence, Gu Li said nothing more and left the kitchen to Qi Lanling.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.
But in the middle of the night, everyone was woken up by the choking smell of cigarette smoke.
As soon as Shen Zixuan woke up and saw the smoke filling the room, he immediately shouted loudly.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Everyone, run! It's on fire!"
Shen Zixuan hurriedly ran out of the room and started calling for people. Qi Lanling and Miao Qingqing also ran out of the room.
"elder brother!"
Qi Lanling thought of Qi Yanyan who had an injured leg and had difficulty walking, and immediately ran towards his room. Seeing that Qi Yanyan was awake, Qi Lanling hurriedly supported him and ran outside the hotel.
Seeing that no one in the other rooms came out, Shen Zixuan was afraid that they would be choked by the smoke, so he kicked the door open and went in to call for help.
"President Lu! President Lu! Wake up! It's on fire! Run for your life!"
Shen Zixuan shouted for a long time before Lu Xingguo opened his eyes in confusion.
When he heard what Shen Zixuan shouted, he immediately got up from the bed.
"Go and call the others! They haven't woken up yet!"
Lu Xingguo ran to Murong Kang's room. Murong Kang immediately ran out of the hotel after being woken up.
Miao Qingqing went to Gu Xueqing's room, while Shen Zixuan went to call Bai Xiuzhu and Xingtian.
But there was no one in their room, and Miao Qingqing and Shen Zixuan didn't pay attention, thinking that they escaped first after discovering the fire.
In the end, Shen Zixuan and Miao Qingqing ran out before the house was burned and completely collapsed.
When they saw only the two of them running out, Qi Lanling and Lu Xingguo's expressions changed.
"Where are Gu Xueqing, Bai Xiuzhu and Xingtian? They haven't come out yet!" Lu Xingguo shouted in disbelief.
Shen Zixuan and Miao Qingqing both turned pale and couldn't believe what they heard.
"Guanzhu!"
Shen Zixuan looked around, and sure enough he didn't see Gu Xueqing's figure. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran towards the hotel that had turned into a sea of fire. Fortunately, Lu Xingguo stopped him.
