"But it doesn't matter. Even if there is no mudslide, I can prevent you from leaving this mountain." Panma's voice was low and full of murderous intent.
Panma slowly turned around and looked at Wuxie, continuing, "I was willing to help you before because that person was here. They were using something against me to threaten me. I thought you were different and would help me and my family. I didn't expect... you'd learn the same trick, playing tricks on me and using what happened back then to intimidate me and force me to do your bidding!"
Wu Xie saw something was wrong and quickly explained, "Father Panma, I was going to tell you this by the lake, but since you've noticed, I apologize. You know, it's been raining for so many days and the mountain roads are difficult to walk on. I didn't mean to lie to you. Besides, the situation is urgent. I have to go into the mountains to save my friend, and you're the only one who can take me there."
Pan Ma interrupted Wu Xie and raised his head, saying, "It doesn't matter whether he has a heart or not. I don't care. I killed so many people back then. When I die, there will be many people in the underworld who will come to settle accounts with me. You won't be a big deal."
As he spoke, Panma reached into his clothes and pulled out a knife. "If I can't deal with him, can I deal with you?"
Panma brandished his knife and slowly walked towards Wuxie, wrestling with him. Wuxie struggled to hold Panma's wrist and shouted, "Father Panma, calm down!"
Then he pushed Panma away with a wave of his hand and ran away somewhere else. Panma followed him. Wuxie ran in front and Panma chased him from behind. He couldn't escape even if he had wings.
Wuxie lived up to everyone's expectations and fell, giving Panma an opportunity. After swinging his knife several times, Wuxie was pinned against a tree by Panma. Wuxie grabbed Panma's wrist tightly and shouted, "Panma, Dad, don't do this! I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to go into the mountains to save people!"
"Save him?" Panma stared at Wuxie with a ferocious look of disbelief, "You still want to lie to me at this hour!"
Seeing that he was no match for Panma, Wuxie suddenly spotted a skeleton tied to a tree not far away. He pushed Panma away and ran towards the skeleton, shouting, "Found it! My friend told me they left the bones here. They can't be far away!"
Pan Ma, who had caught up, naturally also saw the skeletons placed beside the tree. He couldn't help but think of the people he had killed that year. With a trembling voice, he looked at Wu Xie and said, "They... are back! All... are back! You! Who are you?"
"What are you talking about?" Wuxie looked at Panma warily.
Panma was talking to himself, "It's not far from here... It's not far, but you will never see them!"
Panma slowly approached Wuxie with a knife in hand. Wuxie was about to step back when he was tripped by a branch and fell to the ground. Seeing Panma getting closer and closer, Wuxie frantically tried to persuade him, "Father Panma, calm down. Don't make the same mistake over and over again!"
These words completely captivated Panma, and he said to Wuxie like a lunatic, "I remember now. I killed you before. You two are in the same group!"
Panma suddenly swung his knife and shouted, ready to stab Wuxie. In a flash, Wuxie raised his hand to accept the arrangement of fate, but unexpectedly an arm wrapped in black leather jacket knocked the knife out of Panma's hand and pulled Wuxie back from the brink of fate.
This man was none other than Black Blind Man. Wu Xie had just lowered his hand when he heard Black Blind Man say to Pan Ma, "How impressive! You're using a knife to bully an unarmed person."
Panma saw that the situation was not going well and turned to run. Hei Xiazi was about to chase him when Wu Xie stopped him and said, "Stop chasing!"
Wu Xie slowly stood up from the ground, took a breath and said, "The forest is so big, you will get lost. The most urgent thing is to go back to the camp and find my brother and the others. By the way, Master, why did you come here alone?"
"Who is your master?!" Hei Xia Zi looked at Wu Xie in surprise.
"You, when we were in the Snake Swamp, I saved you and you accepted me as your disciple. Have you forgotten?" Wuxie looked at Hei Xia Zi sincerely.
Hei Xiazi pointed at Wu Xie and then at himself, not knowing what to say. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "That doesn't count. If you really want to become my disciple, then wait until this matter is over and hold a banquet for me to become my disciple."
"Okay!" Wuxie nodded vigorously with his eyes shining.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Master, why are you here alone?"
Hei Xiazi laughed and said, "I didn't come here alone. I brought someone with me."
As he spoke, Hei Xia Zi turned sideways, and behind him was Xie Yuchen. "We followed the clues you left along the way and found this place. If we were a minute later, you might have died here."
Wu Xie put his hands in his pockets, swayed his body proudly, and said, "By the way, Xiaohua, you still haven't told me what my master wanted to talk to you about last time in Xingcheng?"
Xie Yuchen reached out and patted Hei Xiazi on the shoulder and said, "This guy was hired to stop me from coming to you, but now he is hired by me to accompany me to find you."
"Ha, you are worthy of being a businessman!" Wuxie said.
Hei Xiazi raised his glasses and said with a smile, "Thank you very much! Oh, by the way, the two bosses must be hungry after such a long journey. Come on, come and have something to eat."
Wu Xie was wiping his sweat when Hei Xia Zi pulled out a small jar from his bag and handed it to him. "Fried rice with green pepper and shredded pork."
Wu Xie took the fried rice with a confused look on his face, and then saw Hei Xia Zi took out another can and handed it to Jie Yuchen, "This is fried rice with green peppers and shredded pork without green peppers. I prepared it especially for you. How considerate!"
Xie Yuchen took the fried rice with a smile, and then heard Hei Xiazi say, "I'm such a kind person, this fee... is charged separately!"
Xie Yuchen looked at Hei Xia Zi and shook his head helplessly. The three of them returned to the camp when it was almost dark. As a result, as soon as they arrived at the camp, they saw a team stationed not far from their tent. At first they thought it was a tourist attraction, but after observation they realized that it was Qiu Dekao's team. Wuxie and the others returned to their camp quietly without making a sound.
After searching everywhere, no trace of Zhang Qiling and the others was found. Hei Xia Zi speculated that it might be related to Qiu Dekao. Wu Xie also found Qiu Dekao's business card in the tent and prepared to go find Qiu Dekao.
Before they had gone far, they met Aning head-on.
"Are you guys going to meet my boss?" Aning asked.
"Aning?" Wuxie exclaimed.
Aning looked at Wuxie and said, "It just so happens that our boss wants to invite you over too. Let's go."
Aning brought Wuxie and the other two to their camp. The camp was brightly lit and well-equipped, and it was obvious that a huge amount of money had been invested in it.
Aning brought them into the tent and showed them a video, which was the scene of Zhang Qiling and Fatty going into the water. After watching the video, Wuxie was speechless for a long time.
Aning stood up and said, "That's all we know."
"Have you been monitoring us?" Wuxie asked.
Aning looked at Wuxie for a long moment before saying, "Otherwise... you wouldn't be able to see this video now, and they haven't come back since they went down there."
