Seeing Shen Qiqi's expression, Lu Qing was also full of anticipation. He asked softly, "How is it? What did you find?"
Shen Qiqi didn't say anything, but handed the letter to Lu Qing, then smiled mysteriously: "Guess..."
Lu Qing took the letter and quickly read it in the faint moonlight outside the window.
The content of the letter shocked him. It turned out that there was someone else behind all this!
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi just smiled slightly and blinked mysteriously: "How is it? Are you surprised?" She did not take the letter directly, but quietly memorized the contents of the letter in her heart, then calmly put the letter back to its original place and carefully restored the secret compartment to its original state.
The eldest uncle's wife had been closely watching Shen Qiqi's every move. Seeing that she didn't take anything away, she frowned in confusion.
She muttered to herself: Am I being too suspicious?
What the hell is this little bastard doing?
Shen Qiqi noticed the suspicious look of her uncle and aunt, and laughed in her heart: You little brat, you are still a little naive to fight with me!
She clapped her hands as if nothing had happened, turned around and said to her uncle and aunt, "Sorry to bother you, I'll go back first."
After returning to the room, Lu Qing immediately told Shen Qiqi the contents of the letter.
The two then realized that all this was an elaborate conspiracy, and they were just pawns in it.
"Wow, this reversal is quite exciting!" Shen Qiqi couldn't help but sigh. This plot is even more exciting than the cliché dramas at 8 o'clock.
Lu Qing gently stroked Shen Qiqi's hair and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His eyes were full of determination and love, as if telling Shen Qiqi that no matter what happened, he would always be by her side.
Shen Qiqi leaned in Lu Qing's arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with a sense of security.
She raised her head, looked at Lu Qing's resolute face, and said softly, "Hmm"
The two of them slept in each other's arms, and a warm atmosphere filled the room.
Outside the window, the night deepened, the chirping of insects gradually disappeared, and everything returned to peace.
But behind this calmness, there is a bigger storm hidden.
The next morning, Shen Qiqi got up early, and she already had a plan in mind.
She came to a remote place in the village where there was an ancient big tree and a dry well under the tree.
She walked to the dry well and whispered to the bottom of the well, "Is there anyone there?"
There was an echo from the bottom of the well, and then an old voice slowly rang out: "Who... who is up there?"
The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "I'm here to help you..."
Shen Qiqi followed what was written in the letter and found the crooked old locust tree in the village.
The tree had a strange shape and there was a naturally formed hole on its trunk, which looked like a one-eyed monster staring at her.
She circled the old locust tree three times, muttering to herself: This place is too creepy, could it be a scam?
Following the instructions in the letter, she picked up a branch and poked it into the tree hole three times.
A "cooing" sound immediately came from the tree hole, which sounded like a scene in a horror movie.
Shen Qiqi was so frightened that her hair stood on end. Would she expose some monster?
Just as I was thinking about it, a skinny hand suddenly stretched out from the tree hole, holding a piece of paper in its hand.
Shen Qiqi took a breath of cold air. This was too exciting. It was like a meeting between underground party members!
She snatched the note and saw that it said: Abandoned hut in the back mountain, come quickly!
Shen Qiqi jogged all the way to the abandoned hut in the back mountain.
The hut is in tatters and the roof is about to collapse. It is obvious at first glance that it is a dangerous building.
She pushed the door open carefully, and a musty smell hit her in the face, making her cough.
The room was dimly lit, and there was only a hunched old lady sitting in the corner, holding a tattered rattle in her hand.
The old lady raised her head, a gleam of light flashed in her cloudy eyes, and she asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you...Chen Qiqi?"
Shen Qiqi nodded and clenched her hands excitedly. She felt like she was playing a script-killing game and finally found the key NPC!
"What do you know? Please tell me!"
The old lady sighed and slowly said, "Back then... I saw it with my own eyes..."
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and Shen Qiqi and the old lady became alert at the same time.
Before they could react, several men in black broke in and lifted the old lady up without saying a word.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Shen Qiqi shouted sternly.
The man in black ignored her and dragged the old lady out.
Shen Qiqi wanted to catch up, but was blocked by another man in black.
"Mind your own business!" the man in black said viciously.
At the critical moment, Lu Qing arrived.
He pushed the man in black away and protected Shen Qiqi behind him. The two looked at each other hopefully.
However, at this moment, more men in black rushed out from all directions and surrounded them.
Lu Qing looked solemn
"Qiqi, be careful!" Lu Qing said in a deep voice, while protecting Shen Qiqi behind him, his eyes vigilantly scanning the black-clothed men around him, holding a wooden stick tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time.
Shen Qiqi looked at the old lady who was forcibly taken away, feeling extremely anxious, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.
She grabbed Lu Qing's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh, and whispered nervously: "Lu Qing, what should we do?"
