At first everyone thought it was a timely rain.
There was no intention of stopping until the fire in the warehouse was extinguished by rain.
It was already past midnight, and the rain was as thick as a curtain. Lian Gou Ni could not go out without mentioning others.
Cheng Xian Cheng's face became more and more ugly. The people who came to report the fire in the rain also had good eyesight. After reporting, he stood on the porch and let the rain drip from under his clothes.
Qin Feng fumbled for his raincoat in the Qiankun bag. The umbrella Wei Xi prepared for Lian Gouyi was obviously no longer suitable for this kind of weather.
Qin Feng turned over and used the double-voice talisman to communicate with Wei Xi under the cover of Lian Gouyi.
"Wei Xi, the fire has been put out. Be careful. In addition to the barbarians returning, there are also guards in the house."
After a while, Wei Xi's voice came over, "Look for an opportunity to escape." As if thinking of Lian Gouluo's special situation, Wei Xi added: "It's raining too hard now, and it's really inconvenient for him to escape."
Qin Feng was about to answer when he saw the gloomy-looking Cheng Xiancheng saying something to the subordinate who dared not say anything, and the man followed the order and left.
Then Cheng Xian Cheng walked over to Qin Feng and Lian Gou Ni, and the two of them covered the double-voice talisman calmly.
"Two immortal masters, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to apologize to you, but I didn't expect to frighten the two immortal masters."
Cheng Xian Cheng's words were quite polite, but his tone was not friendly, and he could barely maintain his dignity.
Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi looked at each other, but something had exposed Cheng County Cheng.
After a few polite words, Cheng County Cheng explained his purpose of coming, "Look at this situation, the rain won't stop for a while, why don't the two immortal masters and my old friend stay at the county government office together?"
Qin Feng believed that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. If she was the only one, she would naturally agree. Fighting on two fronts with Wei Xi at night, trying to keep the Hu people in the county government.
But now Lian Goupi is still there, so Qin Feng maintains his character and doesn't answer.
Lian Goupi is really made of paper. How dare he go out in such heavy rain?
It's just that he really didn't want to be with Cheng County Cheng, and he didn't feel safe without Wei Xi by his side (Qin Feng:?). He tried to struggle, "Thank you County Cheng for your kindness, but the warehouse just burned down, the magistrate He is still sick, so we can’t bother him..."
Cheng County Cheng waved his hand and said, "You two immortal masters, you don't have to be polite. There are still two guest rooms."
"Besides, the two immortal masters don't know something. Our county government has been uneasy these past two days. Two waves of people broke in, and the warehouse was burned down for no reason today. The two immortal masters stay here so that we can feel at ease. , which saves the county magistrate from having to worry about it while he is ill."
These two people knew so well that they even suspected that Cheng County Cheng was trying to catch a turtle in an urn.
Lian Gouyi followed Wei Xi to see the county magistrate. He guessed that Sun Ji was indeed worried now, but Sun Ji was worried about Hu Hu and Cheng Xian Cheng.
Cheng Xian Cheng insisted that the two of them stay overnight, and his tone became more and more forceful. The rain outside showed no sign of stopping, so Lian Gou Ni had no choice but to agree.
Probably because he had something to do, Cheng County Cheng sent a nurse to lead Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi to the guest room.
The guest room is not in the backyard. Thinking of the white cloths in the backyard, Qin Feng is not surprised.
As for Lian Goupi, he started shaking off the water on his clothes as soon as the guardian left.
The drunken old man slept in a guest room next to them. It was said that there was a room for one person, so Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi entered the room directly.
Qin Feng and Wei Xi discussed the situation here. Before the double-voice talisman was used up, Qin Feng said she would see if she could find any traces of the barbarians in the guest room.
Wei Xi had used up the double-voice talisman in his hand, so he took advantage of the chaos and walked around the front yard, but found no trace of the barbarian.
Since Qin Feng and Lian Goupi were in the guest room, Wei Xi was thinking about whether to meet them.
Chengxian Cheng helped Wei Xi make a choice. Wei Xi saw Chengxian Cheng leading two soldiers to walk outside the county government office in the heavy rain.
This is strange, Wei Xi thought, he almost burned down the county government office, what is he doing out in the rain now?
Considering that nothing could happen to them with Qin Feng around, Wei Xi followed Cheng Xian Cheng and left the county government office.
Cheng Xian Cheng walked in such a hurry that he didn't notice anyone following him.
The more we walk on this road, the more familiar we become. Isn’t this the road to Huanhe River outside the city?
Fortunately, the umbrella was strong enough and the heavy rain did not break its ribs. However, Wei Xi still got a lot of rain and sneezed.
After leaving the city gate, Wei Xi followed Cheng County Cheng from a distance. Sure enough, Cheng County Cheng led the two soldiers to the river beach where Wei Xi found him.
Wei Xi found it strange before that she didn't see the corpse in Sun Ji's story when she went to the river beach. Now that she saw Cheng Xian Cheng jumping into the river and making flipping movements, she vaguely had an answer in her mind.
Cheng County Cheng and the two soldiers kept rummaging in the Huan River, and Wei Xi took the opportunity to approach them.
Wei Xi reached a limit before he stopped. At this time, Cheng Xiancheng had already turned over the water area.
Wei Ximao looked at Cheng Xian Cheng in the tall grass with an increasingly ferocious expression. Although the two soldiers were Cheng County Cheng's confidants, they couldn't stand the pouring rain. They all advised Cheng County Cheng to return to the county government office quickly and wait until the rain stopped to talk about anything.
"What do you know!" Cheng County Cheng yelled, and the two men trembled, "The corpse is gone! This heavy rain... won't..."
Although Cheng County Cheng is not very smart, he has been running the business in Tangkou Town for many years. His methods are not clever but ruthless enough. These people are afraid of him, and the two soldiers are no exception. They are afraid that if he makes a mistake, he will be thrown into the county government office. water prison.
Another one had the courage to say, "Xian Cheng, no matter what is missing, as long as you are still the leader of this Tangkou Town, things can always be found. We all are counting on you, Xian Cheng, take care of yourself!"
When Wei Xi heard this, she felt like vomiting, but the other person was still echoing her, for fear of being too late.
After hearing these half-persuasive and half-complimentary words, Cheng Xiancheng put down the stone in his hand and stood in the middle of the Huan River. The anger and fear on his face had not dissipated, but joy and luck climbed up again, and his whole face was very strange.
Just listen to what Cheng County Cheng said, "If you disappear, you can always find it. Isn't it just a cultivator..."
Lightning and thunder drowned out the second half of Cheng Xiancheng's words. Wei Xi was also startled by the thunder, and managed to calm down without revealing his position.
As if being affirmed by God, Cheng County Cheng ran ashore, and the two men naturally followed him.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Wei Xi couldn't wait until the rain stopped and Cheng Xian Cheng disappeared, so she ran to the river beach where the gold nuggets were produced.
It was different from what we saw under the moonlight. At this time, the heavy rain was pouring down, hitting people densely. Where did the gold nuggets come from on the river beach? There is only a rising river.
Wei Xi was eager to verify her idea. Taking advantage of her young age, she grabbed the tall grass on the river bank and went down to the river to check.
The Huan River changed from its usual gentleness and revealed a ferocious face. The roaring water poured from the Longhu Mountain Pass, carrying sediment and rushing downstream.
Wei Xi could only see with his eyes that the place Cheng County Cheng was looking for was a pit. The bottom of the pit had turned into gold. Judging from its size, it could just fit a person.
What is there that he still doesn't understand at this time? Wei Xi has a new understanding of Cheng County Cheng's level of beast, but he just can't figure out where the missing corpse went?
The heavy rain was coming, and Wei Xi didn't dare to stay in the river for too long. She put aside her doubts for the time being, and climbed to the bank holding on to the tall grass that grew firmly on the river beach.
At this moment, a river wave came straight towards Weixi, and it was unstoppable.
