"Ah, what a beautiful sleep."
Shitou stretched and looked around. No one was there, "What are these guys doing? Are they up so early?"
He walked out of the ruined temple and saw Ah Si and Zhou Jing sitting on the big stone lion in front of the ruined temple.
"You guys got up so early and haven't rested all night?"
Ah Si said: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy."
Shitou pointed at Ah Si and scolded: "You still said you weren't sleepy, but you have red circles under your eyes."
The verbal rebuke is actually affecting their physical health.
He added: "It's still early now, you go and have a rest, otherwise the road ahead will be difficult."
Ah Si asked Zhou Jing, "Would you like to take a rest?"
Zhou Jing nodded in acquiescence.
As soon as they left, Shitou asked again: "Have you seen my sister?"
Zhou Jing said: "She has been resting in there and hasn't come out."
Shitou said: "Oops, my sister is missing."
He rushed into the ruined temple, looking for traces of Shihua. Ah Si and Zhou Jing went to search together.
They went to the ruined temple and searched several times, but there was no sign of the stone flower.
Shitou said: "Where will she run? She has never been out, and this place is unfamiliar to her. Where will she go?"
Ah Si comforted her: "Don't worry yet. She might get up in the morning and walk around, and she might be back soon."
Zhou Jing said: "Yes, adults will not get lost."
Shi Shi was still worried.
They have been dependent on each other since they were young. What if Shihua meets a bad guy?
Ah Si said: "Let's look around again to see if there are any clues."
"good."
The three of them searched separately again to see if Shihua had left any clues.
They walked around for a long time, but found nothing.
Shitou slumped on the ground and said regretfully: "Something must have happened to my sister. I shouldn't have brought her out. If I didn't bring her out, nothing would happen to her."
Ah Si patted Shitou on the shoulder and consoled him: "Brother, this is not your fault. Besides, things are not that pessimistic. Let's go out and look for him separately."
"Look, what is this?"
Zhou Jing found a broken piece of cloth in a hidden corner.
Shitou rushed to Zhou Jing, grabbed the fabric and took a look. He collapsed on the ground, "It's my sister, it's the fabric on my sister's clothes. Something must have happened to my sister."
Ah Si also felt that the matter was very serious. The torn piece of cloth had obviously been torn off.
There is only one possibility that the cloth was torn off, that is, Shihua fought with others and was torn off by others.
So who was she fighting with?
Under what circumstances did these people escape from him and Zhou Jing and enter the ruined temple?
And then he kidnapped Shihua without anyone noticing?
Although Shihua doesn't know martial arts, they had a fight and Shitou was in the ruined temple. As long as she called out, Shitou could hear her.
It is entirely possible for Shi Shi to know this and ask him to follow Zhou Jing.
Now that Shihua is missing mysteriously, it can only be because the other party drugged her, and she was fascinated and then took her away; secondly, the other party's martial arts is much better than theirs, so that they took Shihua away easily without them noticing.
Either way, it's fatal for them.
"No, I have to go find my sister."
Shitou has lost his mind and wants to find his sister.
Zhou Jing said angrily: "We are all very sad that your sister is missing. We need to calm down now and think of a solution."
"Calm down, how can you tell me to calm down? My sister is gone and may be suffering all kinds of torture now. She is still so young, how can you say she can bear it?"
Shitou sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
Shi Shi was right, but they had no clue now. They didn't know who took Shihua away or where.
Even if they look for them all now, they don't know where to look.
Ah Si walked to the stone and comforted him: "Now that we know that the stone flower may fall into the hands of adults, we have a direction. Believe me, we will definitely help you find your sister."
"You're speaking lightly. She's not your sister. How can you be so kind?"
Shitou suddenly stood up, grabbed Ah Si and yelled: "My sister is good to you. Did you hide my sister? You give me back."
Ah Si slapped Shi Hua on the face and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Although Shi Hua is not my biological sister, I am closer to her than my biological sister. We have experienced so many ups and downs along the way. Although we are not brother and sister, we have a deeper relationship than brother and sister, will I harm her?"
As they struggled, the tattered piece of fabric fell to the floor and unfolded.
Zhou Jing walked around, recalling the entire process after entering the ruined temple.
Suddenly, she saw the cloth that fell to the ground. There were faint writings on the cloth.
"Don't make any noise. Look, there seems to be writing on the cloth."
Ah Si picked up the cloth on the ground and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were words on the cloth.
Shitou didn't know the words and asked, "What's written on it?"
"Your sister is in our hands, and her life is not in danger for the time being. If you are wise, take the things we want at noon tomorrow and exchange them at Wangchengpo, thirty miles away from here. Remember, you can only come alone. Qian Don't play tricks on us, if you don't do what we ask, we will fight after the time has passed."
After Ah Si read the words on the cloth, he punched the ground with a stone, causing the weeds on the ground to fly. "Damn it, you kidnapped my sister and threatened me. I will make your life worse than death."
Shitou stood up and rushed outside the ruined temple.
Zhou Jing blocked the stone's path, "Where are you going?"
"Where to go? It clearly says that Wangchengpo is thirty miles away. Of course, we are going to Wangchengpo to save people."
Zhou Jing said: "Don't be so impulsive, okay? How much do you know about the other party? What if the other party has a trap?"
Shitou said: "Even if it's a trap, I have to save my sister. The worst is death. There's nothing to be afraid of."
He glanced at Ah Si and Zhou Jing, "If you are afraid, I will go myself. If I die, I will die with my sister."
Ah Si said: "You are confused. Since the other party left a message, your sister is not in danger for the time being. The other party named her and asked for something in exchange, so she must have made complete preparations. If you leave like this rashly, you are going to die."
Shitou was so scolded by Ah Si that he woke up and asked, "What should we do now?"
Ah Si thought of something and asked, "Is there something in you that is very important to them? Otherwise, they wouldn't kidnap your sister like crazy."
what?
Shitou thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything.
He was wearing nothing but ragged clothes.
Ah Si said: "Are you thinking carefully?"
Shi Shi thought about it and suddenly took out a small box.
The small box is very delicate and shows some age.
Ah Si took the box and said, "What's in it?"
This time, Shitou really didn't know.
"I don't know, that's how it was when we got the box. We tried our best and went to the town to find a locksmith, but the locksmith couldn't open it."
Ah Si tried to open it several times, but could not open it.
"It's useless. We can't even use fire or water to boil it."
"Later, a locksmith told me that the box was lightweight and contained a self-destruction device. If it was opened forcefully, the contents inside would be destroyed."
Zhou Jing said: "Is it so serious?"
Shitou said: "Yes, so we have been unable to do anything about it."
Zhou Jing asked: "What should we do now?"
Ah Si said: "There is no better way, I can only exchange this box with them."
