Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Wu Xie, who had hurried over with Pan Zi, couldn't help blushing when he saw his uncle and the other three waiting for them at the village entrance. He muttered to himself, "This is so embarrassing. I made them wait for so long."

Gou Zi led the group for a while, pointed ahead and looked back at Hua Yu, "Just walk a little further and we'll be there."

Wu Xie looked at the well-behaved dog and couldn't help but like him. He couldn't help but touch his head and said with a smile: "Go back quickly! Otherwise your mother will be worried!"

However, to Wu Xie's surprise, Gouzi suddenly stretched out his hand and said in a baby voice, "Give me a fifty-dollar bill."

This sudden action made Wu Xie a little confused, and he didn't understand what Gou Zi meant.

Wu Sansheng looked at it and shook his head, then took out a red note from his pocket and handed it to Gouzi, "No need to look for it! Go back and find your mother!"

Gou Zi took the hundred-dollar bill with a smile on his face, and even rolled his eyes when he passed by Wu Xie.

This made Pan Zi and Da Kui, who were watching the show on the side, cover their mouths and laugh.

Wu Sansheng looked at the gravel road ahead and said, "Master Hua, the road ahead is not easy to walk on. I'll let Pan Zi go ahead, he has experience."

Hua Yu looked at the ups and downs of the place and realized that it was indeed not as easy to walk on as the flat ground, so she did not insist on walking in the front.

At Wu Sansheng's signal, Pan Zi walked in front, Wu Sansheng, his uncle and nephew, as well as Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling walked in the middle, and Zhang Dahai and Da Kui walked at the end.

Several people climbed over mountains and crossed rivers. Wu Xie had to be carried by his third uncle and Pan Zi.

Suddenly, a familiar old man's voice came from the bushes ahead. Pan Zi quietly walked forward and saw through the gaps in the bushes that it was the old man who tricked them into the cave yesterday. He was walking on the road with a shoulder pole, as if he was going there to fetch water.

Pan Zi was delighted: "It really was easy to get it!"

He was about to rush up and grab the old man, but he saw the old man carrying a shoulder pole, humming a little tune, looking leisurely and contented, and feeling very happy.

Pan Zi thought to himself: "Great, this old guy actually still has the heart to sing! Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Just as Pan Zi was about to take action, the old man looked up and saw the people who had been tricked into the cave by them yesterday.

The old man's face turned pale in an instant, and he dropped his carrying pole and ran away.

Pan Zi couldn't let him get away and shot him immediately.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew past the old man's feet, leaving a deep bullet hole.

The old man was startled and quickly turned around and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "My dear friends! Please spare my life! I didn't mean to deceive you. It was the idea of ​​that boatman Lu Laoer."

Wu Sansheng and his group surrounded the old man. Wu Xie hugged a big tree, gasping for breath. After a while, he felt the strength in his hands was gone and he slipped down and sat on the ground.

Wu Sansheng, Pan Zi, Da Kui and the other two were working in unison to deceive the old man, making him unable to bear it and blurt out something they didn't know about. Wu Xie was sitting on the ground looking at the people around them.

He found that except for him, everyone else in their group seemed to have good physical fitness. Even the young master, who he originally thought would be unable to endure the pain of climbing mountains because of his pampered upbringing, seemed to be at ease at this moment, even better than him who lived in the mountains all year round.

Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He originally thought that this young master was just a kid from a rich family, but now it seems that he is not only physically strong, but also has good endurance and adaptability.

Watching the young master walking easily on the mountain road, Wu Xie secretly sighed in his heart: "You really can't judge a person by his appearance!"

"Old man, we are not bad people. We are just curious about how you disappeared yesterday? And where did the boatman go?"

The old man smiled awkwardly, "After we fell into the water yesterday, we hid along some underwater passages and then ran out through those passages. I really don't know where Lu Laoer is."

When Wu Sansheng fell into the water yesterday, he didn't look carefully at the stone walls on both sides. Moreover, the people were separated from each other and he would not notice where the two strangers ran to.

Wu Sansheng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! Then why didn't you go find Lv Lao Er after you got out? After all, this must not be the first time you've done this!"

Pan Zi pointed the gun at the old man, telling him to be smart and stop trying to cheat them.

The old man had a bitter face. "The incident yesterday had never happened before, and there was no such noise. Everything has been peaceful and stable. After I got out, how could I dare to ask for money from Lu Lao Er to share the spoils? I have been staying at home all the time, and I didn't go out until this morning."

Wu Sansheng asked another question, "Has anyone been to this mountain recently?"

The old man rolled his eyes a few times and just as he opened his mouth, he was frightened to break out in a cold sweat by the thing pressing against his head from behind and the words whispering into his ear.

"Think it over first, this thing in my hand doesn't have eyes!"

The old man was disappointed and sat on the ground. "A group of people did come a few days ago, but they asked me to lead them to the place and then drove me away. I don't know if they are still here."

Wu Sansheng did think that the old man would take the bait, but he didn't expect their people to arrive so soon.

"Old man, could you please take us to their base?"

When the old man heard that, he was so scared that he kept shaking his head. Even Pan Zi's threat with a gun was of no use.

"No, no, there is a monster there, and all the people there have been eaten by monsters. No, no, no."

Wu Sansheng was also stunned when he heard this. How could a monster appear here? "Old man, please explain it in detail."

The old man looked at the group of people surrounding him, then at his own skinny arms and legs, and could only helplessly say, "Two days ago, after they arrived at the place, they told me to deliver supplies every two days, and not to go there if it was not necessary. Later, I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I quietly climbed up in the middle of the night to see what they were doing."

The fear on the old man's face was beyond words. Wu Sansheng didn't think it was fake. He listened to the old man continue to say, "I went to their camp that night and found that the whole camp was empty. There was no one. I turned over all the tents in the camp. The food on the table was still steaming, but the people were gone."

"Later, I heard some noise outside, so I quickly turned off the light in the tent. Through the curtain, I saw something like a vine with claws and fangs bared. There were several corpses hanging on the branches. Those corpses were from the camp I brought up."

Wu Sansheng's expression became serious when he heard this. "What happened next?"

"Later, I waited for the vine to leave and crawled out with weak legs. Before I had climbed far, I heard someone calling me. I looked back and saw a woman lying there covered in blood, waving at me. I wanted to go over and take a look, but in the blink of an eye, she was gone. How could I stay there any longer? I ran down the mountain, tumbling and crawling."

Pan Zi walked up to Wu Sansheng and said softly, "Master San, I don't think this old man is lying. Why don't we go and take a look. Who knows, there might be something that can be used."

Wu Sansheng nodded in agreement, then turned to the old man and said, "Old man, take us to that camp to have a look."

The old man sighed helplessly. He knew he had no choice but to agree. With trembling legs, he slowly stood up and led the way.

Along the way, the old man was filled with fear and anxiety. He didn't know what these strangers would do to him, let alone what fate would await him. He only hoped to get out of this predicament as soon as possible, but he didn't dare to run away easily, because he knew that once he was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Wu Sansheng and his companions followed the old man closely, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly. They held their weapons tightly in their hands, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. Although they believed what the old man said, anything could happen in this strange land. Therefore, they had to remain highly alert to ensure their own safety.

In this way, the group gradually approached the abandoned camp in a tense atmosphere. The old man's pace became slower and slower, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. Wu Sansheng noticed the old man's abnormality, he patted the old man on the shoulder and comforted him: "Old man, don't be afraid, as long as you cooperate with us, nothing will happen."

The old man forced a smile and nodded, but the fear in his heart could not be eliminated. Finally, they arrived in front of the camp, and the scene in front of them shocked everyone.

"Can I go now?" the old man asked cautiously.

Wu Sansheng glanced at Pan Zi, then smiled at the old man, "Of course, my subordinate wants to talk to you about something, so I'll ask him to take you there."

The old man looked at the burly, muscular man next to him and had no choice but to agree to Wu Sansheng's proposal.

The two men had not walked a few steps when they heard a gunshot in the woods.

Wu Xie thought Uncle Pan Zi and the others were in danger and wanted to go over to see what was happening, but Wu Sansheng grabbed him. Wu Xie looked at Wu Sansheng, who had a calm look in his eyes, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Wu Xie's premonition was correct. His uncle Pan Zi's clothes were splashed with blood. Through the gap in the passage where Pan Zi had just walked through, he also saw the old man who was lying there with blood slowly flowing from his body.

"Uncle Three!"

Wu Sansheng just looked at Wu Xie calmly, "Wu Xie, this is what you must experience. Haven't you always longed for the things in your grandfather's notes? What your grandfather wrote in the notes is considered tactful, and there are even more cruelties that you can't imagine that you haven't seen." After saying that, without paying attention to what Wu Xie was thinking, he took Pan Zi and Da Kui to search for supplies in tents one by one.

Hua Yu walked past Wu Xie and said, "If you can't accept this, it's not too late to turn back now. Or you can go down the mountain to find an uncle and report your third uncle for murder, tomb robbery, and selling antiques and cultural relics."

Wu Xie stared at Hua Yu blankly.

Hua Yu did not stay for long, but stood at the door of one of the cleaner tents.
