Chapter 252 Investigation
"Let me go, I will never throw you down."
Seeing that Xu Qiuqian seemed to be about to say something outrageous, Ding Lan quickly spoke up to stop her.
Xu Qiuqian naturally knew when to stop.
Otherwise, Ding Lan would be really pissed off.
She let go of Ding Lan.
Sure enough, the sword was very stable.
"That's right, tell me, why do you insist that I use special means?"
“……” Ding Lan looked tired.
Forget it. If she fights with Yuan Yan, she’s afraid that she will be tortured to death by him before she can torture him to death.
Why bother doing these time-consuming and energy-consuming things when there's a chance to just kill him and save trouble? Zhao Dongyue and Chen Mohan also understood what was going on and no longer misunderstood.
The four of them soon arrived at the mission location, a small village.
"This village is called Fengnan Village. Two months ago, strange things began to happen frequently in the village."
"Strange thing?"
Seeing that the other three people all looked confused, Ding Lan said helplessly: "Didn't you guys see what the mission was?"
"No, I was afraid someone else might pick it up, so I didn't even look at it."
"Me too..." Zhao Dongyue felt a little embarrassed.
She saw Xu Qiuqian accept it, and thought that since she accepted it, it should not be a difficult task to complete, so she didn't look at it.
“……”As for Chen Mohan, he didn’t care about these things at all.
Ding Lan held her forehead with her hand.
I should have not accepted this task if I had known this earlier!
"Every night, one person goes missing from the village. Sixty people have gone missing in the past two months. But even if they gather together every night and don't sleep, they will find that someone is missing the next day. In desperation, they have to ask for help from the Qingyu Sect."
"This behavior doesn't seem like that of a monster." Xu Qiuqian murmured.
Ding Lan nodded.
"Demon beasts, especially low-level ones, basically have no intelligence. If it is really it, there is no way others could not find it." She looked at Xu Qiuqian, "Do you have any ideas?"
"No, let's investigate first."
"I thought you had some real insights, but this is all."
Hearing this, Xu Qiuqian asked her: "What about you? What do you think?"
So Ding Lan didn't say anything else.
The two men, dissatisfied with each other, split up to investigate.
Zhao Dongyue, who was behind, saw this and covered her mouth and laughed.
"Brother Mo Han, do you think there is something going on between Senior Sister Ding Lan and A Yan? It seems so funny seeing them making so much noise, and Senior Sister Ding Lan has become much more lively."
Chen Mohan nodded slightly.
That's true.
He used to think of Yuan Yan as his love rival, but now it seems that Yuan Yan probably has no feelings for Junior Sister Dong Yue.
That's good.
But Yuan Yan really has no vision. He has no interest in such a good junior sister Dong Yue, but is interested in Ding Lan, who is ordinary in every way.
"Let's go."
"Who are we following?"
"We'll investigate on our own."
Zhao Dongyue exclaimed, "But I want to follow A Yan."
"Why?" Chen Mohan's face suddenly darkened, "Junior Sister Dongyue, could it be that you are interested in him..."
"Brother Chen, is this the only thing you can relate to?" Zhao Dongyue's tone was slightly cold, which made Chen Mohan stunned.
"Junior Sister Dongyue, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy?"
“…”
Zhao Dongyue just felt that she couldn't understand.
She didn't want to stay with Chen Mohan for a moment.
It seems that there is nothing else in this person's mind except love and affection.
So, he didn't say anything and walked straight in the direction Xu Qiuqian left.
Chen Mohan was left standing by Zhao Dongyue, his face terribly gloomy.
"Yuan Yan, in that case, don't blame me for being rude..." He narrowed his eyes slightly. This village was not far from the Broken Spirit Cliff, where Junior Sister Dong Yue was seriously injured.
Then, he sneered and strode after Zhao Dongyue.
Ding Lan went directly to the village chief to find out the situation, while Xu Qiuqian went to other places in the village to find out.
People disappeared every day and the whole village fell into panic. Therefore, even during the day, every household kept their doors closed.
Xu Qiuqian randomly picked a house and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone there?"
No one answered.
Xu Qiuqian continued knocking on the door.
After a while, a timid voice came from inside the door: "Who is it?"
"I am a disciple of the Qingyu Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
It was a woman, looking tired, and behind her was a little girl, who was skinny.
The woman brought Xu Qiuqian into the yard.
"My humble abode is simple, please make do with it."
Xu Qiuqian sat down on the stone bench in the yard.
"I wonder what the Immortal wants to know?"
"I received a mission saying that one person goes missing in your village every day."
The woman was slightly startled, then nodded, but her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Xu Qiuqian glanced at the white flower on the woman's hair and her plain clothes.
"Mom, stop crying..."
The little girl behind the woman carefully tugged at her sleeve. The little girl also wore a white flower on her head and plain clothes.
"Your husband is missing?"
"Yes, he disappeared last night."
Xu Qiuqian was surprised. She didn't expect that he was the one who disappeared last night.
"Can you tell me the details? And how he disappeared? It hasn't been that long, so maybe I can still save him."
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Master, can you really save him?"
"I'll try my best."
"Okay, I'll tell you whatever you want to know! Huihui, go get some tea from the cupboard for you to moisten your mouth."
The little girl Huihui responded and ran into the room.
Xu Qiuqian wanted to say that it was not necessary, but Huihui looked thin and ran really fast, so she just let them do it.
"Tell me everything that happened last night, including everything before and after your husband disappeared."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Dongyue and Chen Mohan also entered the yard.
The woman hesitated.
"These two immortals are..."
"With me."
"Oh, please take a seat, both immortals!"
Chen Mohan glanced at the stone bench, frowned slightly, and a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.
"No need, I can just stand."
Zhao Dongyue didn't care and sat down immediately.
"Junior Sister Dongyue, wait a moment."
"What's wrong?"
Chen Mohan took out a handkerchief from his storage bag. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. He spread it on the stone bench.
"Sister, please sit down."
With such attentiveness and meticulousness, my junior sister will definitely be touched, Chen Mohan thought.
Zhao Dongyue wanted to say something but stopped herself. She said nothing and sat down. The woman was quite embarrassed. The stone bench looked dirty, but she wiped it every day, so it was not dirty.
She comforted herself, maybe the immortal can see dust or something that she can't see.
Thinking about it, there is not much embarrassment.
Xu Qiuqian said at this time: "Sit down and talk."
"No, no, I can just stand there and talk." The woman waved her hands quickly.
Then the woman told the story of what happened last night.
Because of this incident, starting from a month ago, the village chief asked them to gather together every night. All the people in the village gathered in the square at night and were afraid to go to sleep.
The same thing happened to their family of three last night.
