The moonlight was like water, the night was bleak, and from the mountains behind Dahe Village came the faint roar of a tiger that pierced through the clouds and split the rocks.

Zhou Chen hugged Qin Hongyu's soft body, and the two of them were tightly pressed together, but his whole mind was on the things outside.

Qin Hongyu bit her red lips tightly with her pearly teeth, not daring to make the slightest sound, but her breathing became slightly rapid, while the voice of Old Man Qin outside gradually disappeared.

After a long while, there was still no movement outside. Qin Hongyu couldn't help but whispered, "Is it... is it gone?"

Zhou Chen shook his head. His advanced tracking skills made his facial features sharper. He could still sense that a group of cold and gloomy air had not left.

Qin Hongyu trembled, her body tensed, and fear in her eyes became even stronger, but she did not dare to make the slightest movement.

Time passes by little by little.

Zhou Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows. He sensed that the cold aura outside was gradually moving away, but he did not hear any footsteps.

"It's gone!"

Zhou Chen made a judgment in his heart, but he did not go out, nor did he plan to go out.

We only have one life.

There is nothing wrong with being cautious.

Living a long life is the way to survive.

certainly.

Being cowardly is not being timid or weak, and it is certainly not doing it just for the sake of being cowardly.

When circumstances permit, it is also necessary to strike forcefully.

For example, he had a cowardly character before, and after Old Man Cao died, others bullied him and ate up all the food in his house in the name of burying Old Man Cao.

Old man Qin still wants to default on his debt.

At this time, you can no longer act too cowardly, otherwise others will only bully you even more.

Even if you go to the mountains to hunt a pheasant that doesn't have much meat on it, others will snatch it away from you.

Because you are easy to bully.

It is the nature of human beings or living things to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Of course.

If the enemy is not someone you can deal with, then you have to be cowardly. Wait until you become stronger in the future and then wipe out the enemy completely.

Night ends and dawn comes, and the night passes quietly.

A huge fiery red sun rose slowly from the horizon, tearing through the dark curtain of light, sweeping away evil spirits and monsters, shaking the heaven and earth, and making the sky clear.

After a night of torment, Qin Hongyu's eyes were red, with a few undried tear marks at the corners of her eyes, and her lips were slightly swollen.

Feeling the warm sunlight shining in through the window, she felt a little relieved and said in a trembling voice:

"Brother Chen, is that thing gone?"

"He must have left!"

Zhou Chen smiled, and the calm and confident look on his face calmed Qin Hongyu's uneasy heart.

"Brother Chen, why do you think that monster pretended to be my father? Is something wrong with my father?"

Qin Hongyu was a little worried.

Although Old Man Qin was not very kind to her, he was her father after all.

"We'll find out when we go see your father later!"

Zhou Chen was also a little curious and wanted to know what that thing was.

And that thing shouldn't just appear in his house, right? Other people in the village might have encountered it too.

"Um."

Qin Hongyu nodded vigorously and struggled to get up. Although her legs were trembling and she hadn't rested all night, she still got up and helped Zhou Chen change clothes and wash up.

Qin Hongyu went to the kitchen to cook. Zhou Chen looked at the little fox and held it in his arms and rubbed it.

Zhou Chen looked at his personal panel.

【Feng Yue Bao Jian】

【Romance Point: 25】

"For now, archery doesn't help me much, but minor archery is enough. Adding tracking will have a greater effect and will help me spot danger better..."

Zhou Chen continued to add twenty-five Fengyue points to the tracking, and the tracking skill was improved again, but not very obvious.

"The tracking technique is only one hundred and forty Fengyue points away from perfection, which means about five days..."

Gathering his thoughts, Zhou Chen put down the little fox and carefully went outside to check.

With his tracking skills, he did not find any trace of strangers. There was a feather arrow stuck in the big tree at the door. It was the arrow he shot last night.

After a careful investigation, Zhou Chen did not find any valuable clues.

Zhou Chen was not surprised.

The other party is not an ordinary person.

This made Zhou Chen's desire for martial arts or magic even more urgent.

"Although staying at home can help me gain romantic points faster, I can't make money. Without money, I can't do anything, let alone practice martial arts and cultivate immortality!"

Zhou Chen decided to go hunting today.

This is his only way to make money at the moment.

With his tracking and archery skills, as well as the Thunder Ruyi Hand as his trump card, he is confident that he can hunt wild beasts such as wild boars and black bears.

"Brother Chen, it's time to eat!"

“Here it comes!”

Zhou Chen put the little fox down, and during this time he came across another romantic spot.

After dinner, feed the little fox.

Zhou Chen and Qin Hongyu came to Old Man Qin's house.

They found that no one was at home. It seemed that Old Man Qin had not lived at home for at least a few days.

"Is anything going to happen to my dad?"

Qin Hongyu's eyes turned red and she became more worried.

"Let's go to Widow Chen's house!"

Zhou Chen brought Qin Hongyu to Widow Chen's house and found that the other party's house had not been lived in for several days, and some leftovers had become moldy and smelly.

"Did my father elope with Widow Chen?"

Qin Hongyu's imagination runs wild and she deceives herself.

Zhou Chen knew that Old Man Qin and Widow Chen were most likely in trouble.

Widow Chen's family was not wealthy and it was difficult for them to have enough to eat. If nothing had happened, there would definitely be no leftovers.

These leftovers were obviously saved by Widow Chen for a second meal, but unfortunately the accident happened before she could eat them.

Zhou Chen and Qin Hongyu inquired about the two people in the village.

Sister Hong said, "I saw Widow Chen and Zhang Dagen dating secretly the night before yesterday. Could it be related to Zhang Dagen?"

Zhou Chen, Qin Hongyu, Hong Jie and others went to Zhang Dagen's house and found that Zhang Dagen was also missing.

"Could it be that Zhang Dagen and Widow Chen murdered Old Man Qin and escaped?"

Sister Hong guessed.

"That shouldn't be right. Zhang Dae-geun still has some rice and food at home. If they were to escape, they would definitely take the food with them!"

Food is more important than anything else these days. Even if he has to kill someone and escape, Zhang Dagen will definitely take away the few remaining foods.

soon.

Others in the village discovered that not only Old Man Qin, Widow Chen, and Zhang Dagen were missing, but also several other old bachelors who lived alone! This caused an uproar in the village.

The disappearance of six or seven people at once is a big deal even in this era.

No one can guarantee whether it will be their turn next.

Zhou Chen did not mention the incident of encountering Old Man Qin knocking on the door last night. He just hinted at it and it seemed that other people did not encounter it.

It is also possible that the others who were encountered were killed, and the rest were naturally not encountered.

Village chief Qin Jianghe took Zhou Chen to the county government to report the case.

Old Man Qin is Zhou Chen's father-in-law after all.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to not be able to hunt today.

There are two majestic and domineering stone lions at the gate of the county government office, solemn and dignified.

Zhou Chen did not show off, but followed Qin Jianghe like a follower.

They did not meet the county magistrate, but were received by the county assistant, and the matter was then put under the charge of county lieutenant Zhang Long.

Zhang Long is a man of great stature, with eyes as sharp as lightning, and especially a pair of extremely large hands that seem to contain infinite power.

Zhou Chen, who had mastered the tracking technique, felt an extremely dangerous aura when he saw Zhang Long, as if he had seen a prehistoric ferocious beast.

"He must be a warrior, but I don't know what realm he is at?"

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

He is considered to be a top existence among ordinary people, and even ordinary people who are born with supernatural powers find it difficult to give him this sense of danger.

Zhang Long is obviously not an ordinary person!

Then, Zhang Long took three strong constables with long swords on their waists, Zhou Chen and Qin Jianghe back to Dahe Village.

On the way.

Zhang Long asked Qin Jianghe, "Has there been any other unusual incidents in your village recently?"
