Youdao is not speculative, and Pu Songling had an awkward chat with Wang Shanmin for a long time, but Pu Songling, who couldn't continue the conversation, took a sip of wine and finally thought of a topic that could shut Wang Shanmin's mouth.

Listening to Pu Songling's question, Wang Shanmin hesitated for a long time. In the end, instead of prevaricating a few words as Pu Songling imagined, he moved closer to Pu Songling's side and looked around again. In the next four weeks, he suppressed his voice and said, "My lady is gone."

Pu Songling never expected that Wang Shanmin would tell him the truth, and when Wang Shanmin told him the truth, Pu Songling felt guilty instead.He interrupted what Wang Shanmin wanted to say next, and reminded: "You shouldn't tell me this kind of thing."

Wang Shanmin was only interested in being happy about Pu Songling's concern for him, but he didn't notice that Pu Songling didn't show the surprise he should have on his face after hearing this.He sat back to his original place and said cheerfully, "I can trust Mr., and I can trust Mr.'s friends."

This is the end of what Wang Shanmin said, and it would be a pity not to continue.While the words were still hot, I hit the iron while it was hot: "Based on this sentence, the two of us would like to wish you a helping hand."

Wang Shanmin: ...

I looked at Wang Shanmin's froze smile on his face, and guessed that Wang Shanmin's heart should be rejection.

Multiple friends multiple paths is true.It is also true that many friends are easy to handle.I looked at Wang Shanmin who was walking beside me, and felt that Pu Songling was a really worthwhile friend.

The Wang family sent almost all the servants in the mansion to look for Wang Xueqing, and the servants they sent were divided into several teams to search everywhere.The reason why Wang Shanmin was able to come out to have a meal and rest in the middle of the search was all because of his status as the leader of the servants.Because of his status as the head of the servants, Wang Shanmin doesn't need to be in charge of any specific team. His existence is more like an inspector.Wang Shanmin thought for a while, bought a few bags of vegetable cakes, and decided to go and see the team that was searching outside the city.

Not long after leaving the city, I saw several servants of the palace intermittently.The servants didn't care about dirty hands, they wiped their hands on the hem of their clothes one by one, and then took a few vegetable cakes and swallowed them, obviously they were very hungry.

After walking all the way, when the three pockets of vegetable cakes bottomed out, Wang Shanmin's face completely sank.He sighed, threw away the empty bag he was carrying, sat on a tree stump and did not speak.Wang Shanmin took out a dry pipe from his arms, pinched the tobacco leaves, lit it, and took a deep breath.The smoke was too strong, and Wang Shanmin, who was choking, coughed a few times, and when he calmed down, Wang Shanmin refilled the tobacco leaves in the pipe, and said sadly: "It's almost three days."

In a few hours, Wang Xueqing will be missing for three days.

The longer the time dragged on, the less likely Wang Xueqing would survive.I glanced at Brother Tang who was still standing beside me, pulled up the decadent Wang Shanmin, poured chicken soup and said: "There are expectations, there are miracles."

Wang Shanmin's eyes flickered, and after saying "yes", he stood up abruptly and followed me to find a miracle.

26

The word "miracle" means something extremely difficult and unusual.I feel like I'm going to put those legs in there before I find the miracle.We walked for three or four hours in a row, from dawn to dusk, and the lantern in the hands of brother Tang and I was given to us by the sighted servant when he delivered the lantern to Wang Shanmin.

While delivering the lanterns, the servant who delivered the lanterns also brought a message——Wang Xueqing has not been found yet.

The servant's voice was not high when he spoke, and his face was full of fatigue. Looking at the servant's appearance, I guessed that other servants who were looking for people outside should be similar to this servant.

After searching for these few days, everyone is tired, and they no longer have any hope of finding someone.

Wang Shanmin patted the servant on the shoulder and asked him to go back to the mansion to have a meal and rest. When the servant responded and took a few steps, Wang Shanmin suddenly stopped the servant.Wang Shanmin walked up to the servant and asked a question in a low voice. The servant only shook his head in response to Wang Shanmin's words.Wang Shanmin sighed and didn't say much, just waved the man away.

While Wang Shanmin was walking back with a sad face, I leaned into brother Tang's ear and repeated Wang Shanmin's words to him. "Wang Shanmin was just asking if Wang Yuanwai reported Wang Xueqing's disappearance to the officials."

I clicked my tongue after repeating it, not only wanting to lament that feudal ethics killed people, but also lamenting that the king was so cruel, for the sake of his reputation, he was able to hide the disappearance of his own daughter for so long.Before I could say a word, I saw Wang Shanmin, who was still walking heavily because of something in his heart, running towards the north like a hunting dog who saw a rabbit.

Although I don't know what Wang Shanmin saw, but when he ran, brother Tang and I also ran over.Relying on the night vision advantage brought by my race, I looked in the direction where Wang Shanmin was running, and saw a person running with someone on his back.The clothes on the man's back were elegant and bright in color, and they were the same as the coarse cloth robe that the man was wearing.I looked at the two people who were dressed so that they would never be together, panted heavily and shouted to Brother Tang: "Maybe it's Wang Xueqing!"

Wang Shanmin, who ran at the front, ran for a while, then fell from the lead to follow.And the person carrying Wang Xueqing on his back was like stepping on a hot wheel, even though he was carrying a person on his back, his speed was not affected.I turned my head and saw that the distance between me and brother Tang was getting bigger and bigger. Seeing Wang Shanmin who was about to disappear, I gritted my teeth and turned back into a fox body.

As soon as his body shape changed, his speed immediately increased.Passing brother Tang who was running half a meter in front of me, I speeded up and shortened the distance between me and that person.

I don't know how long I ran, and when the footsteps and shouts behind me disappeared, and only the sound of hunting wind was left in my ears, I was only an arm's length away from that human being.The person in front seemed to have finally gotten tired, and the speed under his feet gradually slowed down.Seeing that I changed back into a human form and chased after that person, stretching out my arms to snatch Wang Xueqing from that person's back, the dense forest and deep grass in front of me suddenly disappeared, replaced by a vast black river and a river A narrow path that only fits two feet.

I looked at the man who stopped suddenly in front of me, and then I noticed what the rough cloth robe he was wearing was.

Damn it, Daoist robe.

The vixen chased a Taoist priest for most of the night, and I felt that my story could be selected into the annual fool collection.

The Taoist stopped for a moment, as if it was just to lift Wang Xueqing up on his back.After helping Wang Xueqing, the Taoist walked forward again, but this time, he used walking instead of running.

I looked at Wang Xueqing lying on the Taoist priest's back unconsciously, and then at the Taoist robes on the Taoist priest, and decided to run away.

... There is no way to slip.

When I look back, the road I came here has turned into a vast ocean, and the narrow road I stepped on is the only place where I can set foot in the ocean.And this narrow road begins under my feet.

The water spray photographed on the narrow road is not fake. The water spray soaks through the shoes and socks, and the wet touch is conveyed very clearly.I looked at the black water that couldn't see the edge, and I was really not sure, if I jumped rashly, would I jump out of this ghost made by the Taoist priest, or would I be drowned in the black water.

There is no light, but there is no darkness.The Taoist walked in front with Wang Xueqing on his back at a leisurely pace. I stared at the back of the Taoist for a long time, and felt that for the present, I could only follow the Taoist.

With luck, he rescued Wang Xueqing so that brother Tang would not return to someone else's body.Bad luck... At worst, see you in the next life.

After I figured it out, I took a step and followed the Taoist priest from a distance.

If I could turn into a fox, this narrow path might be considered spacious, but I tried a few times, but I couldn’t turn into a fox shape, so I had to walk on the narrow path carefully maintaining my balance like walking on a balance beam, for fear that I would not succeed. Die first, and drown before things are done.

The Taoist didn't seem to care that someone was following behind him, and he was still walking forward with Wang Xueqing on his back at the previous pace.The shoes and socks on the feet are wet and dry, and they always stick to the feet with a little dampness and coldness, making people uncomfortable.

The Taoist priest a few meters away is as if he has eyes on the back of his head. I am fast and he is fast, and I am slow and he is slow.Between the Taoist priest and me, there has always been a distance that has never been shortened or lengthened.I stared at the Taoist priest holding Wang Xueqing's two arms, and saw a dog leash in a daze.The other end of the dog leash is tied around my neck.

Strange to say, logically speaking, when encountering natural enemies, one should be afraid no matter what, but when I looked at the Taoist priest walking in front of me, I couldn't bring up any fear at all.Inexplicably, I felt that the Taoist had no malice towards me.

The balance has been maintained for too long, and my calf is trembling and I want to twist my muscles.I couldn't hold on anymore, I paused and stopped.If the Taoist priest in front felt something, he also stopped. I looked at the motionless Taoist priest, bent down in peace of mind, and rubbed my calves a few times.

As soon as I bent down, I realized that the road I walked had disappeared into the black water, and the starting point of the narrow road was under my feet again.

"The road in the world does not come and go."

I suddenly remembered what I heard earlier when I was at the Fox Immortal’s house. I shook my head and got the nagging words out of my mind. It's gone.

The bottomless black water gradually became shallow, and the sea turned into mulberry fields in a blink of an eye. Pieces of ridges and houses emerged from the black water. Finally, the boundless black water poured into one place and became a deep well.

Looking around at the familiar scenery around me, I murmured out two words, Dongchang.
