I knew something was wrong, so I picked up the silver hairpin and the talisman bag and rushed back immediately. Before I left, I picked a piece of dead grass and tried it, and found that the weird thread had disappeared.
The other party really calculated it clearly and knew the timing perfectly.
When I rushed back to the wooden house, I happened to see Shao Zilong coming out of the house, covering his head with his hands, grinning and sucking in the air-conditioning.
"How are you? Did you catch me?" When he saw me coming back, he immediately came up to me and asked.
"What's the matter with you? How is Xiaoyao?"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was in serious trouble, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't mention it! His uncle's boat capsized in the gutter. It's so embarrassing!" Shao Zilong cursed.
As he spoke, I released my hand from covering my head, and I saw a big swelling on the left side of his forehead.
"What's going on?" I asked in shock.
While she was talking, Shen Qingyao also walked out of the room. Her face was ashen and there were still blood stains on the corners of her mouth, especially the three blood stains on her neck, which were even more shocking.
These three blood marks were obviously scratched by the woman's nails. If Shen Qingyao had avoided it a little later, she might have been separated from her body and head.
"Look there." Shen Qingyao pointed to the side.
I saw the sack lying there, but the woman in the sack was gone.
Seeing this scene, a strange idea suddenly occurred to me.
"His uncle, after Xiaoyao and I cleaned up those straw men, we went over to see if the woman in the sack was dead or alive. But my dear, as soon as I opened the sack, I got a hammer on the head." Shao Zilong scolded. road.
When I saw that there was indeed a hammer thrown on the ground, I couldn't help but feel speechless, "Have you both been hit?"
"That person struck very quickly, and I was knocked unconscious by her." Shen Qingyao said, coughing violently.
It was obvious that he had been seriously injured before.
I returned the silver hairpin to Shen Qingyao and took out the talisman bag.
"Why are you there?" Shao Zilong groaned and took it in surprise.
I briefly recounted what happened next.
"Brother is really in trouble this time!" Shao Zilong blushed, "Do you think this is that little lunatic?"
I said it's possible.
"What little lunatic?" Shen Qingyao asked.
"Anyway, she's just a crazy girl. I'm so angry!" Shao Zilong cursed, flipping through the talisman bag, and suddenly cursed again, "Damn, you took away half of my most precious talismans!"
"Okay, as long as I can save my life." I said.
Fortunately, I just hit my head with a hammer and was about to wrap it up with some silk thread. I was afraid that when I came back, I would see a different scene.
"That crazy girl, don't let me meet you next time!" Shao Zilong gritted his teeth.
Shen Qingyao frowned and said, "What did the other party want to do after rescuing that old witch?"
"It's not necessarily a rescue. I guess the other party's purpose is similar to ours, but they just want to survive." I kept thinking about this on the way back.
"I think so." Shao Zilong touched the lump on his forehead and said, "This crazy girl was brought back by the old witch in a sack. She was probably the prey she was looking for and brought back as a toy for her son."
"It's just that I didn't expect that crazy girl to be even more ruthless. Most likely, she was caught deliberately by the old witch and went straight into her lair."
I have to say that Shao Zilong's guess is quite reasonable.
It's just that the other party probably didn't expect that we happened to be here too, and as a result, the three parties got into a scuffle and almost lost their brains.
"Now what?"
Shen Qingyao glanced at the room.
"Look around again." I said and entered the house.
Shao Zilong and Shen Qingyao also followed suit and looked through the entire wooden house inside and out.
As a result, we found something. In a small, dark, locked room, we found an unconscious young woman.
The woman's feet were chained, and her whole body was filthy and dirty, exuding a pungent stench.
Shen Qingyao took her out, found a place to wash her, and found clean clothes for her to change into.
Shao Zilong put a rejuvenation charm on her and fed her half a bowl of water.
"You said there is something fishy about the Cao family?"
While waiting for the woman to wake up, Shen Qingyao suddenly asked.
"What's weird?" Shao Zilong and I both asked in confusion.
Shen Qingyao was silent for a long time and said, "That dumb guy said that his mother went out to work one night, but came back soon, which happened to be around the same time that Uncle Cao and the others had the accident."
"Do you suspect that this mother and son are related to the warlocks from Tongzhou? They asked the mother and son to intercept and kill Boss Cao?" I deliberately changed the topic to the warlocks from Tongzhou.
"It's really possible. The warlocks from Tongzhou must be here to take revenge!" Shao Zilong glanced at me and slapped his thigh.
Shen Qingyao stared at the two of us and frowned, "Do you both think it's related to those warlocks in Tongzhou?"
"Otherwise?" We both asked in unison.
Shen Qingyao said, "This mother and son have lived here for at least thirty years. It is too far-fetched to bring them together with the warlocks from Tongzhou!"
"Is it far-fetched?" we both asked.
"Of course!" Shen Qingyao said, "And based on the old witch's methods, do you think she will be left alive?"
"Maybe Boss Cao is lucky?" I said.
"Yes, maybe Boss Cao just shouldn't die." Shao Zilong also said.
"You two are going to fight with me today, right?" Shen Qingyao said angrily, "How can there be so many coincidences?"
I coughed and asked her to calm down, "I know you are in a bad mood, but this is not reasonable. Why did this mother and son go to intercept and kill Boss Cao, but they still left Boss Cao alive?"
"That's right, the Cao family is so kind and kind and virtuous every day, so they have offended the people in Tongzhou. It doesn't make sense that anyone other than them would harm Boss Cao for no reason." Shao Zilong also shook his head.
Shen Qingyao snorted coldly and said, "It's strange to be ignorant. Don't you think many things are strange recently? Have you heard of the rumors in the market?"
"I've heard of this, but it's just a rumor, so I can't say for certain." I still didn't think so.
"Okay!" After Shen Qingyao said that, she walked into the house with a cold face to stay with her childhood best friend.
Seeing her leaving, Shao Zilong came over and laughed softly, "Look, you made Xiaoyao angry."
"Don't you have a share?" I said.
"Damn, brother, are you just cooperating with you?" Shao Zilong said, "But you really control Xiaoyao's temper. The more she behaves like this, the more she refuses to give up."
"You said that in this matter about the Cao family, should she be involved?" I asked.
Shao Zilong thought for a while, "I think Xiaoyao is still reliable. As for her sister, I can't say yet."
"Yeah." I thought the same thing as him.
At this moment, the unconscious woman screamed and woke up.
