【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

At noon two days later, Zhao Jian and Xue Ying hurried back to the inn from the back mountain and cliff of Wumu Village with solemn expressions.

Seeing them coming back, Wei Yanei and Xiao Jing rushed up to greet them. The former asked anxiously, "How is it? Did you find it?"

Zhao Jian and Xue Ying shook their heads, their faces were very ugly.

Ever since Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan went out to look for Gu Changkun, they haven't come back. At first, the four of them thought that they had found a new clue, and they were so focused on the investigation that they didn't have time to tell them.

But the two disappeared for two full days, Zhao Jian and the others gradually realized that something was wrong and had to worry.

So the four decided that Wei Yanei and Xiao Jing would stay at the inn in case Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan came back suddenly, while Zhao Jian and Xue Ying went to the back mountain and cliffs of Wumuzhai to look for their traces.

However, when Zhao Jian and Xue Ying arrived at the cliff, they were shocked by everything in front of them. The woods at the cliff were full of traces left by the collision and damage of wild beasts, footprints on the ground were messy, broken trees Branches are everywhere - it is not difficult to see that there has been a fierce battle with turbulent mountains and rivers here.

Zhao Jian's complexion was pale, and Xue Ying was not much better. The two looked at each other and decided to pass through the woods. Maybe there will be other new discoveries after the woods.

But no, there was only that deep abyss behind the woods. Just one glance made Zhao Jian and Xue Ying feel deep fear and chills. Suddenly, an extremely bad idea broke into their minds.

Xiao Jing said with a trembling voice: "Do you suspect that Brother Yuan and Brother Wang fell off the cliff?"

Wei Yanei couldn't believe it, he put on a smile uglier than crying, and said incoherently: "No way, Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan are acting together, how could something happen? No way, no way!"

That's right, Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan, the former is resourceful, smart and intelligent, while the latter is superb in martial arts and calm, the two together are simply invincible and powerful, how could something happen so easily?

But what if we really met those hundreds of beasts?What are the chances that they will be safe?

Just when they were thinking wildly anxiously, someone knocked on the door of the room, the four of them looked at each other, and Xue Ying went to open the door.

As soon as the visitor entered the door, he said, "Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan are fine."

The four of them looked at him in astonishment, and were stunned for a moment, unable to say anything.

The next day, Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing took advantage of the bright sky to leave Wumu Village, leaving only Xue Ying and Wei Yanei guarding the village, waiting for Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan to return.

At this time, Gu Changkun had finished shopping for winter supplies from outside and returned to Wumu Village. Wei Yanei was happily busy helping Gu Changkun unload the boxes from the horse.

Gu Changkun was counting the supplies he bought, and asked, "So, a friend of Ms. Zhao and Ms. Xiaojing is seriously ill. Are they rushing to see that friend for the last time?"

Wei Yanei sighed, with a sad look on his face: "Yes, God's will tricks people, when we met last time, he was still alive and kicking, who knows..." Another sigh full of helplessness.

Gu Changkun showed compassion, he stretched out his hand and patted Wei Yanei's shoulder, and comforted him in a deep voice: "Brother Wei, don't be sad, everyone has his own destiny, it's all determined by heaven."

Wei Yanei nodded heavily, as if he had listened to his words.

At this time, Xue Ying came out with an apple and handed it to Wei Yanei. He said, "You rest for a while, I will carry it."

Wei Yanei didn't refuse, he took it obediently, took a big bite, and said with a smile: "This apple is really sweet."

Gu Changkun glanced at the apple in Wei Yanei's hand subtly, and then at the satisfied Wei Yanei, feeling very puzzled.

Is this apple... sweet?

One of the most produced products in their Wumu Village is apples, but they are also apples that are least produced. Every year, baskets of apples are picked one after another. They are sour and astringent. Basically, the villagers will not eat them. They mainly take them away. Feed the livestock.

But seeing him eating so happily, Gu Changkun couldn't say anything more, he asked: "Then Miss Zhao and Miss Xiaojing will come back?"

Wei Yanei nodded: "Yes, Mr. Gu, don't worry, we haven't helped you investigate the case of wild beasts hurting people, so we definitely won't just leave like this."

Gu Changkun didn't mean that, he smiled honestly: "Brother Wei, from what you said, I'm just worried that the two girls will be too busy running around, if possible, I want them not to rush Hurry back."

Wei Yanei suddenly realized: "So that's the case, Village Master Gu is really thoughtful!"

Gu Changkun's eyes flickered, he pursed his lips, still unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, he asked, "Brother Yuan and Brother Wang, how are they doing with their investigation at this time?"

Wei Yanei himself was also at a loss. He recalled, and made a rough idea: "The two of them probably found out the culprit behind the wild beast attack, and they are chasing after him to find someone."

Gu Changkun's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface, and asked in a rather worried tone: "Did Brother Yuan and Brother Wang find out that someone deliberately manipulated wild animals to attack the villagers? Will they be in danger?"

Wei Yanei waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, they are the most powerful of the six of us, ordinary people can't hurt them."

The corner of Gu Changkun's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, this brother Wei is so big-hearted, he can manipulate wild animals, and that one is obviously not an ordinary person.

Back at the inn, Wei Yanei hurriedly poured himself a glass of water and drank it all. He frowned and cursed in a low voice: "How can this Gu Changkun be so chatty? I don't talk as much as he does!"

Xue Ying secretly laughed inwardly when she heard this.

Wei Yanei looked at Xue Ying and asked, "So, are you going to follow Gu Changkun tonight?"

Xue Ying nodded: "According to the clues given by the caring force, Gu Changkun has a secret place. If I ask the villagers, I will definitely not be able to find out anything. And if I really arrest people to ask, then Gu Changkun will know about it. It will make him suspicious of us."

Wei Yanei could also think of the pros and cons, so he asked worriedly: "Do you need me to go with you?"

Xue Ying glanced at him, clearly disagreeing.

Wei Yanei was angry: "What do you mean by that look? Look down on me?"

Xue Ying didn't deny it either, he said in a deep voice: "It's better for you to stay at the inn, I don't know when Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan will come back, you stay here, there is also a support."

Wei Yanei nodded unhappily. Xue Ying made sense. Even though he knew that Xue Ying was very capable, he still told him with uneasiness: "Then be careful yourself and put safety first in everything. If you can't find anything, just wait and see." Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan will check again when they come back."

The corner of Xue Ying's mouth twitched, and she nodded obediently.

It was night, Xue Ying finished dinner early, leaning against the window to watch the environment in the village, in order to better monitor the center of Wumu Village, Xue Ying and Wei Yanei found a reason to change to the current room, the windows are facing each other The center of the village.

Gu Li once said that if Gu Changkun wanted to go to the secret place every night, he would definitely have to pass through the road in the center of the village—now, Xue Ying was closely watching the direction of the road.

It was getting late, and on weekdays, Wei Yanei would have fallen asleep long ago, but tonight he didn't, and accompanied Xue Ying to observe everything around him.

I don't know how long I waited, but there was still no sign of Gu Changkun on the road. Wei Yanei yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said sleepily, "Is he not going tonight?"

Xue Ying looked calm: "Wait a little longer, if you really can't hold on, go to sleep for a while."

Wei Yanei let out a long sigh, and he rubbed his face vigorously: "I can hold on, I'll wait."

After another half hour, Gu Changkun appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.

The night was too dark, and they couldn't see Gu Changkun's expression clearly. They saw that he was carrying a big burden on his body, and he was walking along the rolling road to the outside of the village without any haste. The speed was really not fast.

Wei Yanei felt strange, he couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "What is he carrying?"

Xue Ying shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, he squinted his eyes: "Walk in this direction, it seems to be the back mountain?"

Wei Yanei had a good sense of direction, he nodded and said, "It's the back mountain."

The two looked at each other, Xue Ying nodded to Wei Yanei, jumped out of the window, his figure disappeared in the darkness, and moved forward quickly.

Wei Yanei looked worriedly at the direction where Xue Ying disappeared, and his drowsiness faded away.
