Wang Xiaolan's mind moved: "Is this strange shadow behind me a human or a ghost?"
At this moment, she saw a thin white mist and a black shadow in the forest. She immediately felt the hairs on her body stand up and a layer of fine cold sweat seeped out of her forehead. She did not dare to delay and continued on her way.
At this moment, she suddenly heard rustling sounds behind her again. She had to stop and look around, but found nothing.
She continued walking forward, and suddenly heard a "hiss" sound. She felt as if something pierced the back of her neck. She reached out to touch the back of her head and suddenly pulled out a needle.
She suddenly felt that her vision was blurred, and her subconscious told her that she was ambushed. She thought that if she held on a little longer, she could enter the space to take shelter, but she was too late and lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
…
At this time, Zhao Lihan was waiting for her to come back home for dinner. Seeing that it was almost dark outside and Wang Xiaolan had not returned, he paced back and forth in the yard, looking anxiously towards the village entrance.
He secretly muttered in his heart: "This daughter-in-law has been out for so long, why hasn't she come back yet? I'm so worried."
Zhaodi came out of the house and asked anxiously: "Brother, it's already this late and sister-in-law hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened?"
When Zhao Lihan heard this, his heart tightened. He felt that what Zhaodi said made sense. Instead of waiting at home, he might as well go out and pick her up.
"Zhaodi, take care of the two children at home. I'm going to Zhangjia Village to pick up your sister-in-law."
"Brother, go ahead!"
Zhao Lihan trotted all the way to Zhangjia Village and knocked on Liu San's door.
Liu San opened the door and saw Zhao Lihan. He asked in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Is your sister still here?"
"Brother, I've been walking for two hours. I should be home by now."
When Zhao Lihan heard this, he was struck by lightning and immediately turned around and left.
"Brother, wait, I'll look for it with you."
Zhao Lihan stopped and said, "Let's split up and look for him. You go ask your brothers, and I'll go home and see if there are any new clues."
Liu San found a younger brother of Liu Jinlong's former subordinate and asked about the situation.
It turned out that his little brothers had changed their masters and were now working with Liu Jinhai.
One of the brothers was named Adou. When he saw Liu San, he looked around in panic and pulled him to a corner in the alley.
"Third brother, please leave quickly. Brother Hai has taken over this place."
"Who is Brother Hai?"
"He is Brother Long's younger brother."
"Adou, how is he?"
"Brother Hai is more powerful than Brother Long. Besides doing Brother Long's business, he has been getting along very well with Brother Zhang from the black market lately. It seems like they are doing black market business."
"What has he been doing recently?"
"I'm not sure about that either."
"Like, kidnapping."
"Now that you mention it, it reminds me of something. Brother Hai, I asked Kuan to go alone on something today. I wonder if it has anything to do with kidnapping?"
When Liu San heard him say this, he thought to himself, "This sign is somewhat similar to Liu Jinlong's work style. They are indeed brothers. Every time Liu Jinlong wants to kidnap someone, he only assigns one person to do it, never more than one person. My sister's disappearance must be related to him."
Thinking of this, he took out a dollar, put it in Adou's hand, and said, "Can you take me to his house?"
Ah Dou hesitated and said, "Well... Brother Hai said that if anyone does a job alone, they can't ask each other about it. If he finds out, he'll cut off his tongue."
Liu San stuffed another dollar into his pocket and said, "Just lead the way for me, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Adou looked at the money in his hand and reluctantly agreed. When they arrived at a place not far from the town, Adou was unwilling to go forward and pointed to an area of thatched houses.
"It's right in front. I can only take you here. Go by yourself!"
Liu San had no choice but to go there alone.
…
After Zhao Lihan and Liu San separated, he walked towards the only road back to the village.
Zhao Lihan was walking on the way back to the village when he smelled the scent coming from Wang Xiaolan.
Zhao Lihan has a special sense of smell. When he was in the army, he and his comrades carried out missions without the help of military dogs, and this ability came in handy.
When he was halfway to the village, Wang Xiaolan's message was interrupted. He surveyed the place and found a syringe. He picked it up and smelled it, and smelled the scent of Wang Xiaolan's body.
I thought to myself, "My wife has been poisoned by the anesthetic they launched. This guy must know that my wife knows martial arts. It's impossible to win by fighting openly. The only way is to use hidden weapons. Oh no, my wife has been kidnapped."
Just at this moment, a breeze blew by, and Zhao Lihan smelled three different scents, including the scent of his wife.
He quickly determined the direction and ran towards the northwest as fast as he could. After crossing a wood, he saw five or six houses in front of him. Smoke was rising from the roofs of some of the houses.
The smoke was mixed with a very strong smell of firewood, which covered up the smell of Wang Xiaolan.
This quiet village is so peaceful that not even the sound of a dog barking can be heard. It doesn't seem like a normal village and it really makes people feel weird.
Zhao Lihan looked at the terrain and some abnormal phenomena around him. He guessed that Wang Xiaolan might be imprisoned in one of these houses.
So, he quietly approached the village...
…
Meanwhile, Liu San had already arrived near A Kuan's residence. It was already completely dark, and from the houses, the sounds of pots and pans clattering, mixed with the sounds of shouting, could be heard. These sounds came from different directions, echoing over the countryside.
He finally found the house where A Kuan lived. Just as he was about to knock on the door, a big black dog rushed out and barked wildly at Liu San. The owner of the house heard the dog barking, held onto the door frame, and slowly walked out of the house.
Then an old man's voice was heard.
"Who is it?"
Liu San replied, "Uncle, I'm A Kuan's friend."
"You're looking for him! He's not here." He answered in a very unfriendly tone.
"When will he be back?"
"It's hard to say. He didn't go home yesterday."
Having said that, he sighed and continued, "You are his friend, it seems that you are not much better."
"Uncle, you misunderstood. I asked him to help find someone."
"Hey! Can he help you find someone?"
"Is he a good guy or a good person?"
"Old man, of course he is a good man."
"I have no objection to finding someone to do good things for me."
As the old man spoke, he groped his way along the wall and slowly walked towards his home.
At this time, a voice came from behind Liu San, with an accusatory tone.
