Aqil sat cross-legged and looked at Yan Zhou for a long time.
Yan Zhou was a little frightened by the eyes that could not be ignored, and asked: "...Is there anything else?"
Aqil shook his head. The usually arrogant young master looked a little silly now and said:
"I just feel that you, Yan Zhou, are very reassuring... It seems like I am safe wherever you are."
Yan Zhou:......
These words could not stop her.
"Yes, I allow you to recognize me as your adoptive father."
She narrowed her eyes with a smile and joked.
Aqil sneered: "Heh."
He chose to retract his previous words.
"What foster father?"
Dongguan Liao slowly sat up from the ground, a little confused.
Yan Zhou sighed: "I can't be too charming. Little Aqil said I feel safe~"
Dongguan Liao sneered. Although he didn't know what Aqil said, Yan Zhou really couldn't stand Yan Zhou's arrogant look.
"Squeak——"
The bedroom door behind him was slowly pushed open, and the sound of the wooden door scraping was particularly terrifying in this silent night.
Yan Zhou put away the smile on his face and stood up vigilantly.
Aqil and Dongguan Liao were both awake, staring at the wooden door without blinking.
After a few seconds, a dark hand reached out of the door.
Aqil held his breath and imagined countless classic scenes from horror movies in his mind.
However---
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
This sound...
Yan Zhou was slightly surprised, it was Hu Zi.
I saw a strong young man walking out of the door, followed by Wei Shu and Wen Ke.
"You...what are you doing?"
Dongguan Liao asked puzzledly.
Wen Ke explained: "Huzi is not a bad person, don't worry, he wants to send us away from the tribe."
Leave the tribe? !
Yan Zhou stared at the other person: "The reason?"
Huzi's eyes were firm: "I know Alan's purpose. She and the clan leader want to offer you as sacrifices to the mountain god, just like the ten people before."
"The ten people from before are from Sodari High School!"
Aqil's expression changed greatly.
It was just a guess before, but I didn't expect that as Yan Zhou said, the people in Suodari arrived at the tribe before them and were kidnapped.
But if you make a sacrifice...
This is much scarier than kidnapping.
Yan Zhou looked calm and said calmly: "As someone close to Alan, you should have no reason to help us. I remember Alan said... you are the person who cares about her the most besides the clan leader."
Dongguan Liao and Aqil also realized this and took a cautious step back.
Huzi's eyes dimmed and he said, "It's precisely because of this that I don't want her to make any more mistakes..."
After saying that, he looked at the sky outside the window:
"We must send you out quickly, otherwise it will be too late. We can't take the main road, but the side road!"
His tone was urgent, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he was afraid of something.
Liang Qing and Pei Junjing leaned at the kitchen door and listened for a long time. Finally, Pei Junjing said word by word:
"My sister and the others are still in Alan's house, as well as the people in Sodari... We will not abandon them."
"Yes, Sister Song and the others..."
"Rongrong..."
Aqil and Wei Shu pursed their lips, hesitated for a while, and answered firmly:
"Let's go together."
The sweat on Huzi's forehead became more and more, and he gritted his teeth: "...it's too late!"
Yan Zhou was speechless and used the communication system to send a message to Liang Qing.
[Yan Zhou: Teacher, no matter whether Huzi’s words are true or false, the situation in Suodali is definitely not good. Why don’t we use the space tunnel to get out first? 】
After a minute, Liang Qing did not respond.
Yan Zhou frowned and was about to ask again when Liang Qing's message came.
[Liang Qing: I can't contact them. 】
Yan Zhou suddenly clenched his hands and looked out the window coldly. The wind was bleak, as if a black figure not far away was laughing provocatively.
Seeing that they refused to leave, Huzi finally relaxed: "Are you sure you don't want to leave now?"
Aqil said: "Of course, there is no reason for five people in a team of ten to leave!"
Huzi lowered his eyes, and then looked at them steadily: "Okay, I will take you to find them."
Yan Zhou felt something strange. Just when he was about to speak, he saw several people led by Pei Junjing follow Huzi out of the door. Especially Aqil, whose face was full of urgency and not at all the fear he had just now.
Only Yan Zhou and Dong Guan Liao were left in the house.
Worried that something might happen to them, Yan Zhou thought for a moment and then turned to Dongguan Liao and said, "Dong Guan Liao, just in case we..."
…
The silence of the tribe at night was eerie, and the mist shrouded the moon, making the already weak moonlight even darker.
Seeing that the direction Huzi took them was not Alan's house, an idea flashed in Aqil's mind and he asked:
"This direction...isn't Alan's house, where is it going?"
Huzi replied: "They are hidden in the chicken shed in the patriarch's courtyard. I will take you to rescue them."
"Oh, that's it."
Aqil was in a daze for a moment, without hesitation, thinking about how to rescue Song Yi.
But for some reason, his heart was beating faster and faster.
Yan Zhou and Dong Guan Liao followed behind. Just now they took a detour and sneaked into Alan's house for a while. She used an invisibility charm.
After entering, he saw Alan sleeping peacefully on the straw mat, but Song Yi and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Entering the backyard, Yan Zhou looked around to see if there was anything suspicious.
Unfortunately, the smell of fresh chicken and duck excrement filled the nose, and it was very strong. Even with Yan Zhou's keen senses, he didn't notice anything special.
Suddenly, Hu Zi at the front stopped, pointed to a place covered by hay and said:
"Down below is the basement, where your companions are."
Pei Junjing and Aqil were the first to bear the brunt. Without thinking, they worked together to push the hay away. There was a wooden baffle underneath.
After Liang Qing pulled away, he said to the students behind him:
"I'll go down and take a look first."
Then he jumped down.
After a minute, Aqil felt as if his heart was being burned and he felt anxious for no reason, so he said:
"I'll go down too!"
Dongguan Liao was startled and wanted to step forward to stop him.
But Aqil moved too quickly and got right in.
"I...want to go down and have a look too."
Pei Junjing stared at the entrance, ready to move.
Yan Zhou quickly grabbed Pei Junjing's arm and stopped him.
"you---"
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and Wei Shu and Wen Ke both jumped in.
Dongguan Liao and Yan Zhou were all focused on Pei Junjing and did not notice them.
Dongguan Liao cursed angrily: "Fuck!"
Then he grabbed Hu Zi, who was standing by the entrance, by the collar, with a fierce look in his eyes: "What on earth did you do to make them obey your words?!"
Huzi raised his head blankly, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes:
"I……"
Before he finished speaking, his whole body froze, his eyes widened and he fell softly.
Dongguan Liao was shocked, let go of the other party's collar and threw it to the ground.
Here, Yan Zhou also let go of Pei Junjing's arm and watched him eagerly jump into the secret passage.
Dongguan Liao didn't want to say anything anymore and looked at Yan Zhou.
