His bushy beard furrowed his brow, as if he could trap a fly in it.

The frivolous man was still wondering, "This is really strange!"

He looked up and around. The area was overgrown with weeds, almost up to his knees, and it didn't look like anyone had ever walked there.

However, Lin Qingyu's traces clearly indicate that she came from here.

The series of strange events made the frivolous man feel uneasy.

If you do too many bad things, you'll always feel afraid.

For example, a frivolous man might see a shadowy figure moving behind a large tree.

So he pulled the bearded man aside, pointed to the tree, and gestured.

The two then moved to flank the area, one on the left and one on the right, so Lin Qingyu wouldn't be able to escape!

The frivolous man had a wonderful idea, but when he jumped out, he found that there was only a red silk scarf there!

The scarf was swaying in the wind, and although the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius, the frivolous man felt a chill.

The bearded man's expression was equally grim; the sudden appearance of this thing here was hardly a good omen.

However, the bearded man still suggested that the two of them searching separately would be faster.

The two then split up to search for the person, one to the north and one to the south. However, the frivolous man felt uneasy, as if a cold wind was blowing down the back of his neck.

But when I turned around, I couldn't see anything; all I could see was the silent woods.

The frivolous man walked a distance and saw another figure. This time, he didn't intend to call the bearded man.

Every time he saw someone, that person would mysteriously disappear as soon as he was there, so the frivolous man became somewhat suspicious of him.

When the frivolous man jumped out from behind the tree, he didn't see the person he was trying to grab. Instead, he was so frightened by the scene before him that he foamed at the mouth.

It turned out that Lin Qingyu had brought a mannequin here, a plastic mannequin with only a head and body, but it was dressed.

It was this red outfit, coupled with Lin Qingyu suddenly throwing the mannequin onto the frivolous man, that startled him.

After vomiting for a while, the frivolous man felt a little better and didn't faint, but he suddenly screamed loudly.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! A ghost! There's a ghost! A ghost!"

He kept crawling backward, his eyes fixed on the "female ghost in red," only to find that the "female ghost" was completely still.

Upon hearing the sound, the bearded man called out a few times but then stopped. He merely chuckled and completely ignored the other man.

After noticing the problem, the frivolous man on the other side became bolder. He stood up, tugged at the hem of his vest, and coughed twice.

"Ahem! Who are you?"

The "female ghost" naturally didn't respond, but unexpectedly, the frivolous man stretched out his foot and kicked the model, sending her flying.

He then realized it was a dummy and rushed over to kick it twice.

"Fuck you, you dare to lie to me! You piece of junk! I spit on you!"

Not satisfied with just cursing, he kicked the model twice more, knocking his head off.

As the fake head rolled away, the frivolous man was almost startled again. He glanced at the dummy's neck and saw that there was no blood.

My wildly beating heart finally calmed down.

However, having almost wet his pants, the frivolous man plopped down on the ground.

He leaned against the tree, closed his eyes, and rested for a while.

The frivolous man was thinking about how to describe it to the bearded man later, but he couldn't let him know about his spitting.

The next second he opened his eyes and felt an even colder chill. Most importantly, the dummy from before had disappeared!

The frivolous man babbled on and on, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"A ghost...a ghost! A ghost!"

The next second, a foul smell emanated from him, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, this time truly foaming at the mouth and passing out.

Lin Qingyu stepped out from behind the tree, wiped her sweat, and kicked the person on the ground hard.

"Pah! You coward, you're afraid of dying. I'll kick you to death for swearing!"

Before she could kick him a couple more times, she heard the bearded man's impatient voice.

"Have you found them yet? What are you yelling about? You'll be in big trouble if someone hears you!"

Before the bearded man even got close, Lin Qingyu vanished on the spot.

She had expended a lot of energy going in and out, and was basically unable to deal with the bearded man anymore.

However, when the bearded man saw the frivolous man on the ground, he just frowned and clicked his tongue. He probably just thought that the man on the ground was more trouble than he was worth.

The bearded man pondered for a moment, then grabbed the frivolous man and hoisted him onto his shoulder.

He carried this grown man all the way to the cellar without even breaking a sweat.

The bearded man opened the door, about to throw the frivolous man inside, when he suddenly heard several shouts.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

"Don't move!"

Suddenly, a large number of people appeared around them. The bearded man knew that his plan had been exposed, so he did nothing more.

He raised his hands above his head and slowly turned around.

Although he cooperated, he was still pinned to the ground and handcuffed by the police officers who rushed over.

The whole process went very smoothly, and the suspect was caught. I should have been able to breathe a sigh of relief.

But Lin Qingyu hasn't been found yet!

Gu Shi walked straight over, and the police couldn't stop him. He kicked the bearded man to the ground.

"Where are they?! Where did they go? Where are they?!"

The bearded man took a solid kick, but still didn't utter a single word.

Gu Shi received no response, and the police officers nearby rushed over to stop him.

In his panic, he called out, "Qingyu! Qingyu, where are you!"

But after calling out several times and searching around several times, they still couldn't find Lin Qingyu anywhere nearby.

Gu Shi was almost in despair. He looked at the bearded man and the frivolous man with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could kill them both.

Before he could explode, a faint cough came from above.

"Cough cough! Gu Shi, Gu Shi!"

Although it was noisy all around, Gu Shi still heard it. He looked up and saw Lin Qingyu sitting alone on the tree trunk.

"Qingyu! Qingyu!"

Gu Shi was very excited and wanted to go up and save Lin Qingyu himself.

But he couldn't possibly save Lin Qingyu alone; he definitely couldn't do it unharmed, the tree trunk was too tall.

In the end, they had to use a rope to lower Lin Qingyu down, which broke Gu Shi's heart.

He held Lin Qingyu in his arms the whole time. Seeing that Lin Qingyu was pale, her lips were chapped, and she was listless, Gu Shi wished that he was the one who was injured.

The place where Lin Qingyu was sitting was at least five meters off the ground. If she didn't make a sound, most people wouldn't notice her unless they looked up.

Gu Shi held Lin Qingyu in his arms and sat beside her, watching many people go in and out of the cellar.

He held Lin Qingyu tightly, not letting her see his tears.

Lin Qingyu patted Gu Shi and said softly, "You've finally come to pick me up!"

Gu Shi's voice trembled with heartache: "Yes, I'm late. I've come to pick you up!"
