While everyone was struggling with the problem of the medicine bag, the debris at the stairway suddenly began to fall apart, and the carrion was about to break through the defense line.
Wutuman, Xiaolong, Aniu, and Ahu became alert and aligned themselves towards the staircase bunker. He looked back at the injured Xiaowu, with a trace of unbearability flashing in his eyes.
He had always thought that Yue Guanchao and the others were just disguising themselves as reporters and came to Wu Coffin Town to hunt for treasures, so he was very dissatisfied with them. After confirming that they had abducted his granddaughter and entered the forbidden area without permission, he was so angry that he wanted to kill them.
But after what happened just now, he gradually changed his view of these young people. The fact that they were able to treat Xiao Wu with all their heart showed that they were not vicious people.
Wu Tuman walked to Xiao Wu and straightened his clothes a few times. He looked at Yue Guanchao and said, "Young students, this is your gun. Take the girl and Xiao Wu and get out of the window quickly. We won't be able to defend this place soon."
"Old man, what should you do?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the crumbling pile of debris.
"When you leave, we will definitely have to go back. Xiao Wu is injured, so stop dawdling. No one of us will be able to leave if we continue to dawdle."
Yue Guanchao knew that the situation was critical, and they still had many companions who could not be beaten.
He took out the hemp rope from his backpack and lowered it from the second-floor window, letting Xiao Wu and Song Siyuan climb down together.
At the last moment, Yue Guanchao looked at Wu Tuman and reminded: "Uncle Wu Tuman, this puppet may be useful. If you really can't help it, you have to see what mechanism the puppet has!"
Wutuman frowned: "You don't need to tell me that, I just discovered it too!"
After Yue Guanchao finished speaking, he climbed out of the window along the hemp rope. He was afraid that the carrion would chase him out, so he took Xiao Wu and ran toward the forest exit.
As everyone moved away from Yizhuang, the originally dark and chaotic sky returned to hazy gray, which meant that the weird chaos was over.
However, even if the danger was over, they did not dare to stop. They ran until they were out of breath. When Yizhuang was completely out of sight, they rested against a tree stump.
Ah Ying was panting from running, leaned against the tree stump, wiped her sweat, and asked Yue Guanchao who was standing aside: "Brother Yue, Aweng and the others are not in danger, are they?"
Although she and Wu Tuman are not related by blood, their relationship is better than that of family members. The matter was urgent just now, and she was a little flustered. She had no time to think about the pros and cons. Remembering that Aweng was still staying in Yizhuang, she couldn't help but worry.
Yue Guanchao looked back at Ah Ying and consoled him: "Don't worry, he heard the ghost-faced mandrill talking louder than anyone else. I think you, Ah Weng, have been to Wu Coffin Town, so we don't need to worry about him."
"Now, we have to figure out whether we should continue to go to the mountain you Aweng mentioned, or go to other places to find your parents?"
"But!" Yue Guanchao changed the topic: "We don't have the map of Witch Coffin Town in our hands. We are like headless flies wherever we want to go!"
"I...I have a map!"
Seeing Xiao Wu raise his hand tremblingly, Yue Guanchao's eyes lit up: "Do you have a map?"
"Yes!" Xiao Wu nodded, his dark face had regained some of its color, and his eyes were exceptionally clear: "When Uncle Wutuman was arranging my clothes, this picture was given to me in my bag!"
Yue Guanchao opened it and saw that it was indeed the original map!
"Is this old man an enemy or a friend?"
Yue Guanchao got the map, and he and Song Siyuan lowered their heads and muttered for a while, and then they both looked at Aying, with a look of scrutiny in their eyes!
Song Siyuan looked at her and her tone became serious: "Aying, we promised to help you find your parents, and we will not break our promise."
"but."
Yue Guanchao continued her words: "But, we need to know, what are your parents' true identities?"
After hearing this, Ah Ying's pupils suddenly dilated, and she hesitated and felt guilty: "I...my father and mother went to the mountains to collect medicine to treat my illness but they didn't come out. What's the problem?"
"No problem, but I feel like you're not telling the truth!"
Yue Guanchao clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes full of suspicion.
"How can you be so sure?"
Song Siyuan walked up to her and smiled slightly: "Aying, you said that your parents went to Wu Coffin Town to collect herbs to treat your illness, but we didn't even see any trace of herbs along the way."
"Judging from the map location, this place is already deep in the wild forest. If it doesn't exist here, it won't exist when we leave the forest!"
"Furthermore, I also saw your parents' medicine bag just now. The pattern on the medicine bag is similar to the totem of Witch Coffin Town. Although you deliberately concealed it, I still saw it."
"What does this mean?"
"This shows that you know the origin of the medicine bag and deliberately don't want us to know too much."
"Yes or no?"
Song Siyuan's questioning made Aying blush. She hesitated for a long time without giving any explanation.
"Aying, are you sick? If you are sick, you have to tell Uncle Utuman, he will not ignore it!"
Xiao Wu didn't know the situation, so he scratched the back of his head and said casually concerned.
This sentence also indirectly proves that Aying's so-called illness is fake. If she had really been ill for more than ten years, the neighbors would have known it long ago, and Xiaowu would not ask this question for no reason.
This sentence completely shattered Ah Ying's lie. Her face turned red visibly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Aying, did you really lie?"
Lu Fengjian didn't know the situation. He always thought that Aying's situation was true. Although he was surprised by Song Siyuan's questioning, he was willing to trust his old classmate's intuition.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Aying's psychological defense finally collapsed. She wanted to bury her head in the cracks of the ground: "I'm sorry...Brother Yue, Sister Siyuan, I...I didn't mean to lie to you!"
"I...I have my own reasons."
"Actually, my parents are not mountain people at all. They have another identity!"
