The Road to Comprehension of Group Pets

"Squeak——"

Hua Mengyu, who was rummaging around the house, heard the sound and immediately took out the Phoenix Lotus Sword, held it across her chest, and looked at the person who came in.

"Who?" Hua Mengyu looked sharply at the person coming.

But when I saw the person clearly, I instantly relaxed and put on a smile.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, you are back!"

"Yes." Dongfang Xiaozhu agreed, turned around, closed the door, and came to Hua Mengyu.

"Did you find anything?"

"No, I just came in not long ago. The old woman was very vigilant. The heart-obsessing powder was not very effective for her. Later, she used the sleeping charm to knock her out."

Hua Mengyu shook her head regretfully. She had left her mother-in-law behind according to the method they had discussed earlier, and she was talking to her mother-in-law.

I took the opportunity to use my spiritual power to open the window, and used the power of the wind to sprinkle the powder on my mother-in-law's face. I didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so wary.

No matter how hard she tried to talk, she was just talking about unimportant things and almost revealed the truth.

Finally, when my mother-in-law went to pour water, I put a sleeping charm on her back and helped her lie down next to a chair, making her look like she was asleep.

Finally, they put a coat under the eaves. This was their code word. Dongfang Xiaozhu would know it when she saw it.

"It seems that this mother-in-law is not simple. I lied to the village chief, and they lied. A group of people did come here, but they all died. Only a woman was left locked in the village chief's hut.

, this is the key.”

Dongfang Xiaozhu took out the key as he spoke.

"This should be the hut you mentioned, but I don't know who that person is."

Hua Mengyu took the key and observed it carefully, recalling the key that the village chief took out last night.

"That's right. Let's take action tonight. I'll rescue people. You can look out for me. Once we rescue people, we'll leave here as soon as possible. There's something wrong with these people. We need to find Brother Yue and Brother Han as soon as possible."

Hua Mengyu took the key and put it away, discussing it.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. If you find someone, leave here. This village is full of weirdness, and the two of us can't deal with it."

"Then let's look quickly and see if there's anything here that can help us."

After saying that, the two of them started rummaging around the house.

I searched for a long time with no results.

"Did we guess wrong that the mother-in-law and the village chief are not the same person at all?" Hua Mengyu put down the needle and thread in her hand and said with a frown.

"It's impossible. I told the village chief that a group of people did come to the village, and they stayed overnight at my mother-in-law's place. There must be clues about those people here, let's look for them again."

Dongfang Xiaozhu doesn't believe in evil, there must be something here with her mother-in-law, but they haven't found it yet.

"Ta, ta, ta -" Suddenly footsteps came from outside.

The two froze immediately and looked at each other. Hua Mengyu immediately came to the door, while Dongfang Xiaozhu hid beside the cabinet.

The two of them were ready to go, waiting for the person outside the door to come in and knock him down as soon as possible.

But after waiting for a while, the footsteps left the door and did not come in.

Hua Mengyu glanced at Dongfang Xiaozhu, raised her head, and signaled her to go out now.

Dongfang Xiaozhu understood, nodded, walked quietly to the door, opened the door first, and took a look outside.

He turned around, nodded, and walked out.

Hua Mengyu followed closely and checked inside the house. She was about to close the door when she suddenly saw a small hole filled with bricks under the bed.

The bed in her mother-in-law's house is not a wooden bed, but made of bricks. She heard from her elder brother that this kind of bed is called a kang.

In the cold winter, burning firewood in the kang can make the house very warm, and the bed will also be very warm. You will not wake up from the cold when sleeping. It is good for the elderly and children to sleep on it.

But that is only used in winter. In summer, it will be blocked.

They had just rummaged through the house, and Hua Mengyu had also rummaged through other places and found nothing, but it suddenly occurred to her that she had not noticed this place.

This hole is very low, so I usually don't bend down to look at it. Now I walked out and was far away, so I could see clearly, and I discovered this.

"Mengmeng, what are you looking at?" At this time, Dongfang Xiaozhu saw that Hua Mengyu didn't come out, so he turned back and called her.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, wait for me, just for a moment."

After saying that, Hua Mengyu rushed in, came to the bedside, reached for the brick and pulled it out.

There were still some branches, which were packed tightly. She cleaned up the bricks in three strokes, stretched out her hand, and touched into the hole.

But it was really big inside. After touching for a long time, she still couldn't touch anything. She took out the luminous pearl and threw it into the hole. She lay down and squinted to look inside.

After looking carefully, I finally saw something wrapped in a small fabric in a corner.

She couldn't reach it, so after thinking about it, she put the small silver coin out and pushed it in to get it.

"Quickly, if you see that thing, go pick it up."

Hua Mengyu pointed at something in the corner, Xiao Yinzi climbed in, took the thing out, and pushed Ye Mingzhu out.

"Great! I'll give you extra food when I get back." Hua Mengyu got the things and put the small silver back.

The little silver was really too conspicuous outside, and they had no reason to explain a sudden appearance of a monster.

Hua Mengyu quickly filled the bricks and branches, patted her clothes, and wiped the marks where she had knelt with her feet.

He rushed out quickly. When Dongfang Xiaozhu saw her, he pulled her away and hurriedly closed the door.

As soon as the two returned to the room and Hua Mengyu lay on the bed, her mother-in-law came in from the door.

"Where did you just go?" The mother-in-law's gloomy voice sounded from behind, frightening both of them.

"Mother-in-law." Dongfang Xiaozhu turned around and looked at the old woman calmly.

"When I came back, I saw that my mother-in-law was tired, so I took my sister out for a walk and bask in the sun. It was better than staying inside all the time."

Hua Mengyu coughed twice at the right time.

"Ahem! Yes, mother-in-law, you must be tired from taking care of me. My sister also took me out to bask in the sun for my own good."

"Then why didn't I see you just now? Where have you been?" My mother-in-law said as she walked over, holding a bowl of dark water of unknown origin.

"Really? My mother-in-law went out to look for us? Maybe I took my sister around and missed her."

Dongfang Xiaozhu said with a surprised look.

Maybe Dongfang Xiaozhu is prettier, and the expression on her face doesn't seem to be fake when she speaks.

The mother-in-law believed it a little, and the expression on her face became better. She put on a smile again and came to Hua Mengyu's bed with the bowl in hand.

"This is a local recipe we have here. It is specially designed to treat acclimatization. You are weak, just drink it and you will be fine."

The old woman said and pushed the bowl in front of her, but Hua Mengyu didn't dare to take the old woman's things now, who knew what was inside.

In order not to make her mother-in-law suspicious, Hua Mengyu still took the bowl, but she didn't dare to take a bite.

"What, you don't want to drink?" Her mother-in-law's tone didn't sound any different, but Hua Mengyu was still a little frightened.

"Mother-in-law! My sister has not liked taking medicine since she was a child. Maybe the medicine is too bitter. Do you have candied fruit at your mother-in-law's house? Rock sugar is also fine."

Dongfang Xiaozhu spoke up in time, interrupting her mother-in-law's gaze.

"This medicine is not bitter." The mother-in-law just said leisurely and did not answer Dongfang Xiaozhu's question.

"Well, my mother-in-law may not know something. When she was at home, the elders in the family doted on my sister. She has been delicate since she was a child and refused to suffer even the slightest bit of hardship. Even if she suffered a little bit, she would be in trouble for a long time. If she hadn't been very careful this time,

If you follow her out, I won’t take her out."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was unmoved, Dongfang Xiaozhu turned around and said in distress, sighing as she spoke.

It seemed that something Dongfang Xiaozhu said touched her mother-in-law's heart, and there was a pause on her face.

"Okay, there should be some sugar at home, I'll get it." The mother-in-law stood up and walked out.

After her mother-in-law went out, Dongfang Xiaozhu quickly took out the silver needle.
