The door has been opened, but we don’t know who opened it. As soon as we saw the stone house, the door was already open, and the surrounding bushes seemed to have been destroyed, as if they were burnt by torches. You can still vaguely see half of the wood of the torch, so you can clearly see it inside the stone house.

"She's back."

The housekeeper looked at the stone house in shock.

"who?"

Li Dakui looked around and asked alertly, but he didn't find anyone.

"It's the bride."

I answered.

"Didn't she disappear?" Li Dakui was a little confused, and then stared inside the stone house, feeling something was wrong, "The stone statue of Zhang Xiaolong disappeared."

Yes, I can see inside the stone house at a glance. I don’t know why. At this time, everything in the stone house can be seen clearly. It seems to be very bright, but I can’t see the stone statue. The house is very small to begin with. , only a palm-sized place, so if anything is missing, I will definitely find it as soon as possible.

"Stolen?"

Li Dakui said angrily, "What a pity..."

"Did a thief break in?"

Obviously, in this moment, when we left here and went to that inexplicable place called the castle, it only took about ten minutes for this incident to happen. The housekeeper returned to the house at this time and found that everything else was still there, but the stone statue was missing. Obviously that person came for the stone statue.

Not necessarily, is that woman really back?

Now, it's daybreak, and the weather seems to be pretty good today. There is a ray of sunshine shining down at this time...

It was already noon when I left Zhang Xiaolong's home.

At this time, if he could no longer wait for Zhang Xiaolong to come back, he would decide to call the police first, but before that, he had already thought about what to say.

ancient street.

Gradually, there are more and more people. I don’t know why, but the people here are all old people and children. There are almost no young people in their twenties and thirties who want to stay here, so this is not so much a prosperous place as A good place to retire. At least, you won’t be lonely and don’t know what to do.

Drink and chat, play chess and take a walk.

Most old people just enjoy the rest of their day.

Especially on a sunny day like this.

"Dong dong——"

Suddenly, a crisp sound sounded, as if it was at the end of this street.

"Walk."

I don't know why, but I actually wanted to take a look. Although they were confused, they followed me. Soon, we reached the end. The street was already very short.

"So this is it."

It dawned on me.

This is the very old street that the shepherd and I visited for the first time. It used to be only separated by a wall, but now not far from me is the blacksmith. The fire in the stove was raging, and he was sweating profusely, swinging the hammer in his hand, and started the day's work.

"Dong dong——"

The man didn't seem to find it very strenuous. On the contrary, he enjoyed the work more.

"Is it you?"

I walked over.

The man stopped what he was doing and looked at me. After sizing me up for a long time, he saw clearly and said with a smile, "Please sit down."

"By the way, where is the shepherd?"

I asked.

Since we were on the riverside, the herdsman seemed to have sensed something bad, and then walked away in a hurry. I originally wanted to follow him, but as soon as I turned around, he disappeared and seemed to be an erratic person. .

"He... hasn't been here for several days."

The craftsman smiled.

"By the way, isn't he with you?"

"We spread out."

I said calmly.

"It seems that he still went to find it..." The craftsman said this unintentionally.

"What are you looking for?"

I asked.

"I can't tell clearly, but he must have had his own affairs when he left, so it's inconvenient to ask," the craftsman replied.

"Dong dong——"

The sound of blacksmithing is getting farther and farther away from us, but he seems to have an unusual relationship with the shepherd. But since he has no whereabouts of the shepherd, we have no place to look for it, but he will naturally appear when he appears.

And the little Taoist priest has disappeared. We went to the temple later, but those people seemed to have disappeared and had no whereabouts. The temple has not yet been clarified because of the incident involving human life, so it has now become An unsolved case, of course the temple is now sealed.

After all, it is not a very famous tourist place, so no one pays attention to it. Naturally, this matter seems to have been put on hold.

When we passed by, there were still a few police officers patrolling, so we didn't stop.

But just as we were getting ready to leave...

At that time, it must have been dusk. Originally, no one passed by this mountain road. Now because of the murder, it seems to have become even more terrifying.

"who?"

Suddenly, one of the patrolling policemen seemed to have discovered something.

There were only two policemen here, but they were only holding some batons. The surrounding police cordon had not been opened yet, but this time, they suddenly noticed something moving, and the two of them immediately became alert.

"It's not like we were discovered, right?"
