Seeing this, Bai Lu quickly added, "I know this doesn't sound right, but think about it, what if Yingchun is also hiding in a small basement like ours? Now that the wooden man has come out, she definitely won't be able to find food, so we should find her as soon as possible, otherwise she will be in greater danger. I only have this one sister, Brother Zhou Bo, you promised me that you would do your best to help me find her."

The crab meat was indeed fresh and tasty after being stewed in the wine, but her pleading made me dare not eat it any more. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the person who cooked it. After all, she was the one who cooked it, so it was normal for her to make requests.

I sighed and said, "Bai Lu, I have said this to your sister as well. You should listen to it again. In such a desolate place, life and death are determined by fate and cannot be forced. If she is still alive and can hold on until we find her, then God has opened his eyes. But on the contrary, if the King of Hell wants someone to die at three o'clock in the morning, who dares to keep someone alive until five o'clock? In this place, whether you can survive is sometimes not determined by yourself. I think you, Bai Lu, are a top student who graduated from a medical school. You must understand such a simple truth, right?"

"I understand the logic, but...Brother Zhou Bo, you should at least think of another way. You were not serious before and missed the best time to ask that wooden man He Kui. If you continue to be perfunctory now, Yingchun may really not be able to bear it." Bai Lu said, and she actually burst into tears.

Yunwen stepped forward and held Bailu's hand, saying, "Sister Bailu, we all want to save Yingchun, but it's dangerous outside now. You also know that Zhou Bo has a narrow escape from death for coming back. Can you bear to let him go out and take risks again? What if he can't come back? Things have their priorities. Stay out of the limelight first. Yingchun is a lucky girl. There will definitely be other opportunities for this matter. Don't be too anxious, okay?"

Bailu was sobbing, but she couldn't swallow the crab meat that had entered her mouth. Yunwen tried to comfort her for a long time, but there was no improvement. She just kept crying and saying that she was fine, and kept turning her face away.

I sighed, how could I have no feelings for these girls who followed me all the way? Although Yingchun was a thorn, she still had a crush on me. She was lovely, and I had feelings for her. If you carry something for a long time, you will inevitably feel sad. If you lose it, you will be sad, let alone a person.

But I really can't do anything. How can I deal with a company of wooden men above? If it weren't for the nine-tailed white fox, I would have been strangled to death. I should be grateful for escaping death, but turning around and rushing out again, isn't that a short circuit in my brain?

So I tried to persuade her and made some promises, hoping to reassure her, but she didn't respond or express anything, she just kept crying.

This delicious meal was just eaten in such a hurry. It can only be regarded as ordinary food to fill hunger temporarily. As for the leisurely and elegant mood, it has become bland and tasteless, so let it go.

I haven't drunk alcohol for a long time, so my alcohol tolerance has decreased a lot. I just drank a sip of 500-year-old wine, and the crabs were also steeped in the taste of wine. Moreover, the temperature in the tunnel was a little better, so I felt sleepy. I don't know if it was the aftereffect of the wine or for other reasons. After the two girls helped to clear the table, I lay down on a cool mat behind the table, and fell asleep unconsciously. I lost my memory.

I was half asleep and half awake, the bonfire was burning brightly, and I occasionally heard a loud noise, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I only noticed that Yunwen had pushed the table away and lay on the mat with me. Her warm body was right next to me, and the fragrance of her hair on her back made me even more intoxicated. My consciousness was fuzzy, so I continued to sleep in this enjoyment.

But just as I closed my eyes, I suddenly felt my body being violently shaken. I opened my eyes immediately and saw that it was Yunwen. She looked anxious and said to me in a hurry: "Oh no, Zhou Bo! Sister Bailu is missing."

"Don't be anxious, don't panic, did she go to the bathroom?" I asked.

Yunwen shook her lips, her face becoming paler, and said, "Definitely not. I was a little confused before, and she asked me to go to sleep first, but before I went to sleep, I saw her sobbing in the corner. I thought she might be done with her crying, but when I woke up, she was gone. I listened for a long time, but I didn't hear any movement from above, so I woke you up."

I remembered that I heard the unusual movement when I was half asleep and half awake just now, and I paid special attention to the bonfire at that time, but the bonfire had been extinguished for a long time now. This means that there was a long time between the time I heard the unusual sound and the time I woke up. Seeing that the bonfire was completely extinguished, at least twenty minutes had passed, and she did not come back in these twenty minutes.

Something big happened!

"Is Bailu going to look for Yingchun because she's upset?" I sat up quickly.

"What should we do? Sister Bailu is so rash to go out, something must have happened to her. Let's go out and look for her together." Yunwen said.

"Don't go, I'll go. Just wait for me here." I said, stood up, put on my cotton cloak, picked up the Jinque sword, and was about to go out.

Yunwen held me, shook her head and pouted, saying, "Let's go together. Even if something happens, I don't want you to be alone. We agreed to live and die together, right? Besides, you see, the chief and deputy envoys of the Milong Camp, because of a disagreement, one of them died alone in the mountains, and the other became neither human nor ghost, suffering torture, and living a life worse than death. This is the result of not following Milong Yazhang's words, 'two dragons fly together, and the universe coexists.'"

I couldn't refute this.

"But the wooden man was cursed and couldn't see the light. They must often go out to do things at night. Now must be the peak period of their activities. It is not suitable to go out. You and I will be bigger targets and will be easily discovered." I said.

"Do you think I'm a burden?" Yunwen held my hand and acted coquettishly towards me. Even though she frowned, few men could refuse such an action.

Well, since that's what she said, I can only agree to her for now, thinking that I will try my best to ensure her safety after I get out. This is the only way.

"Go, but if I tell you to run, you must run. Don't worry about me, okay?" I said.

She nodded, but half-heartedly.

Going out at this time is basically courting death. Those wooden men are waiting for us to come out so that they have the opportunity to sacrifice us in the river to relieve the excruciating pain. Fortunately, we are now giving them a good opportunity. I feel that we are more considerate than Meituan. I hope the wooden men can give us a five-star rating.

After tidying up, I took Yunwen upstairs. There was a pull rod at the bottom. When you pulled it, the door would open. There was also a time limit. When it opened to the end, it would automatically close again, so we hurried up before it closed.

After going up and returning to the house, I gestured to Yunwen, asking her to try not to fall out. Then we rolled sideways and rolled to the wall next to the main door of the house. I put my ears close to the wall and listened outside. I could hear the sound of wind and snow outside, and at the same time, there was a creaking sound under the whistling wind. I guess those wooden men were arranging patrols in the city.

However, after listening back and forth several times, it is obvious that only four legs are moving, with different rhythms, and the other sounds are all far away. Therefore, we can judge that they are implementing a divisional patrol method. The two outside are in charge of our area, and the other areas are farther away. But with so many people, why are they arranged so dispersed?

I didn't care about anything else. Yunwen came over at this time, so I asked her to wait for me here. I would be responsible for knocking down the two people outside. She nodded at me.

It was dark, and I could only use sound to accurately provide my brain with a clear position and direction. I roughly figured out that one of the other people was at six o'clock, about twenty steps away from me, and the other was at half past six, about twenty-two steps away from me.

The direction changes at a speed of about one and a half steps per second. The wind is from the northeast, blowing on their backs, so they should have predicted this.

I gently pushed the door open, untied the hand gesture, took out the wooden piece of the Heavenly Master Talisman, pointed the sword diagonally to the right, and muttered softly, "Borrow the wind."

Suddenly, the wood chips rotted, and the wind force gathered on the sword for two seconds and condensed into a blade shape. It gathered momentum and rushed out. With a few sharp swishing sounds, it directly cut off the heads of the two wooden men, and they fell to the ground!

There were black maggots all over the ground. They were not dead yet. They just needed time to reconnect their heads and bodies.
