Welcome to Real Escape [Unlimited]

Without stopping, the two returned to Lao C's house immediately.At this time, it was evening, and Lao C was closing the doors and windows tightly, preparing to spend the night with great vigilance.

Seeing Ruan Su, he immediately beckoned and said, "Come in! How about it?"

Ruan Su led the little girl into the door, and Lao Bing immediately closed the door.Seeing a new face again, he asked strangely, "This is..."

Ruan Su glanced at the little girl, and she took the initiative to say: "Hi, Grandpa, I'm Xiao Huan." Ruan Su held her hand, "She is my cousin, can I stay with you for a day?"

Lao C glanced at the two of them, not doubting him, and nodded without asking any further questions.Ruan Su patted the little girl on the shoulder: "Go upstairs and have a rest."

Xiao Huan ran upstairs immediately and closed the door lightly.Ruan Su turned around and found that Lao Bing was flustered, so he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to close the door today?"

Lao C said with a dazed expression, "Maybe another accident will happen tonight... I'm going to seal the whole house tightly..."

Ruan Su knew that Lao Bing was also terribly scared, and suddenly felt complicated.Now the situation is getting more and more bizarre, seeing that "Dao Jie Ye" is coming, it is even more impossible for Ruan Su to wait at home.After thinking about it, he decided not to waste time.Jiang Kefan was looking for clues, so naturally he couldn't slow down.

Ruan Su remembered what Xiao Huan had told him, so he raised his eyes and asked, "Uncle Bing, what is the relationship between the Li Ren you mentioned earlier and this Fang Fei?"

"What?" Lao B turned pale, "The disappearance of Fang Fei has something to do with him?"

"No, I didn't say that." Ruan Su denied, "I just heard the clerk mention it by accident, and I'm a little curious."

Seeing Ruan Su's serious questioning expression, Lao Bing suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

"Well...how should I put it?"

Old C turned around.

"Actually, I seldom mention this to others. After all, now...times have changed, things have changed."

Ruan Su's heart tightened, "What?"

"As I said before," Lao Bing sighed softly, "Li Ren is an orphan. When he was very young, he was placed in a wooden basin and washed down by the river."

Ruan Su: "Huh?"

"Actually, the person who took him home and adopted him for ten years..."

"it is me."

Ruan Su was taken aback for a moment, and then belatedly recalled why Lao Bing's house had three bedrooms.

One room was for Lao C, one room was for his son and daughter-in-law, and the other room was just allocated to Li Ren.

Why didn't he think of this place earlier?Why did Lao Bing know Li Ren so well? Why did Lao Bing appear in front of them the next second after Li Ren was bullied by Master Ai's people.

"Actually, my full name is Li Bing, and my son's name is Li Chihuan. I also named him 'Li Ren'. He has no father and no mother. He grew up with my son since he was a child. Later, my son After marrying a wife, he lived at home for a while, and then moved out."

Caught in nostalgia for the past, Lao C's expression was a little melancholy.

"Now, Li Ren also opened a pharmacy and ran his own small business. The two of us...haven't had much contact with each other."

"No contact," Ruan Su asked again, "Why?"

Lao Bing sighed heavily, and said: "It's just because he has a withdrawn personality and doesn't get close to others. Since he was young, other children in the village didn't like to play with him, and the adults always looked down on him."

"Even I, who has raised him for ten years, sometimes feel that I can't get into his heart."

Ruan Su recalled the day when he first met Li Ren... This ancient village has a deep-rooted xenophobic and discriminatory view, and it is inevitable that Li Ren lived such a rough life when he was a child, and his personality became a little cowardly when he grew up.

But even so, it can be seen that Lao Bing still cares about Li Ren very much.When Li Ren was being bullied, he stood aside worriedly.It's not difficult to guess that Lao C should also help Li Ren secretly.

In this way, it's no wonder Fang Fei got in touch with Li Ren, after all, they were acquainted.But at the special time of "Crossing the Tribulation Night" yesterday, why did Li Ren go to find Fang Fei?

At this time, Ruan Su thought of Fang Fei's golden hairpin again.He stared at Lao C for a while, and finally decided not to bring up this topic for the time being.

Ruan Su glanced out the window, it was six or seven o'clock.He made up his mind, stood up and said, "Uncle Bing, I'm going out tonight, and I won't be coming back."

"Ah, are you going to go out again?" Lao B was taken aback, "Did you and that young fellow with you go out last night too? Oh, why are you so impulsive...By the way, where is your companion? Why didn't he Come back with you?"

"He..." Ruan Su said vaguely, "he has his own business to solve." Then he patted Lao Bing on the shoulder, "Uncle Bing, don't worry. I'll be careful when something just surfaced. of."

Lao C shook his head worriedly, "You don't understand. At this point in time, you go out and wander around at will - you may encounter the legendary 'ghost soldiers and ghost generals', and I'm afraid you are close to death."

"Ghost soldiers and ghost generals?" Ruan Su was taken aback, "What is that?"

Lao Bing's expression was terrifying: "It's a kind of monster in rural rumors, and it usually appears in groups. The 'people' inside all have bull-headed ghost faces and fierce spirits... as long as they meet once, You have to go crazy if you don’t get killed! I heard that last month, someone—”

"Cough, that's enough, Uncle Bing."

Ruan Su raised his hand stiffly, interrupting Lao Bing's words.

Lao Bing had just finished telling him the story of the ghost mother and son yesterday, and they really bumped into a ghost at night.If it was like yesterday, and let this talkative old man tell him ghost stories for a long time... maybe something else would come up again.

So he simply stopped listening.

"I'm going out, you take care of yourself at home."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lao C could only nod his head.Suddenly remembered something, and asked with concern: "By the way, you haven't eaten much today, have you? Do you want to have a meal before leaving?"

"There's no time," Ruan Su shook his head, "I'll step on it earlier."

Lao C sighed, then went to the table and poured two cups of sugar water, and handed one to him, "Then I will stop talking. I will lock the doors and windows tonight, no matter where you are, you must be careful in everything. "

Ruan Su nodded and drank the sugar water in one gulp.The taste of the water is not sweet but rather bitter.After returning the empty bowl to Lao Bing, Ruan Su hesitated for a few seconds, and finally took a handful of candies from the candy box at the door and put them in his pocket.

"Then I'll go first."

Old C nodded.Ruan Su took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

After turning around a block, Ruan Su stood by the lawn and quietly spit out the sugar water in his mouth.

Ruan Su plans to go to Li Ren to find out the situation tonight.

After learning that Li Ren and Li Chihuan were brothers-in-law for many years, and with the information revealed between the lines in Fang Fei's words yesterday, Ruan Su almost subconsciously confirmed his initial guess.

Both Li Ren and Li Chihuan have been oppressed by the local snake "Master Ai" in this village. Maybe they have been planning something secretly for a while—but they have been exposed.

Li Ren came to Fang Fei last night, perhaps just to warn her.

It's just that there are still some things that don't make sense.

The series of events that happened last night were very strange.

The rumors about the mother and child, and the younger sister that I "created" out of thin air... If there is really something dirty here, is there another possibility for the disappearance of Li Chihuan and his wife?

Furthermore, Li Ren's personality is withdrawn, and he is not very close to his adoptive father of ten years. Maybe he went to Fang Fei's door in the middle of the night-in fact, he had ulterior motives?

At this point, Ruan Su could clearly feel that he had grasped many fragmentary clues—and the most important thing now was to find a core logic line.Then he can connect all these clues together, and all the truth can be easily solved.

Everything had to wait for him to ascertain Li Ren's situation before making a conclusion.

Ruan Su suddenly felt a sense of relief, no longer as confused as he was a few days ago, now——he felt that he was close to the truth.

Walking halfway, Ruan Su suddenly caught a glimpse of a lens hanging by the roadside.He hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to take off the lens, and put it in his pocket.

If "Ruan Yue" shows up again tonight, maybe...

Take it with you.Just in case, be prepared.

Before dark, Ruan Su managed to reach Li Ren's pharmacy.He didn't intend to enter the door from the front, but went directly to the tree behind the pharmacy and took a look.

Li Ren's pharmacy is also divided into two floors, the second floor is the living room for people, and the first floor is the pharmacy.Ruan Su observed for a while, and suddenly felt very strange, Li Ren's residence was lifeless, not only were the lights off, but there was no sound at all.

Although Li Ren is blind, the chances of using lights should not be great.But there is still something strange about the dead silence in this building.

Could it be that he rested so early?Or—going out again?

Li Ren was full of doubts.

Before dark, Ruan Su lurks in the bushes next to the medicine shop, planning to wait for an opportunity to act again.I don't know how long it took until the night turned thick and the fog began to linger around the street again.Ruan Su appeared at this moment.

Ruan Su couldn't help worrying that Jiang Kefan would be worried if he didn't see him when he got home, so he connected with Jiang Kefan and planned to tell him where he had been.But the communicator was connected for a long time, but in the end it didn't connect.

Ruan Su had no choice but to give up.

Let's go ahead and talk about it.

The first time is raw and the second time is cooked.He found a suitable location, turned into the pharmacy again, smashed a hole in the window with the handle of a knife, then reached in and unlocked the window latch.When he got in, Ruan Su found himself in a study.

He casually picked up a book and flipped through it, and found that it was a collection of medicinal herbs, which recorded various medicinal herbs for various purposes, and many notes were written on the inside pages of the book.This wall is full of books like this. It seems that Li Ren has done a lot of research on medicinal herbs.

After putting down the collection of medicinal herbs, Ruan Su opened the door of the study and carefully looked around outside——no one was there.The bedroom is at the deepest part of the corridor, and there are some faint voices coming from it from time to time, which are not clear, like talking in a dream.

Did Li Ren really fall asleep?

Ruan Su walked lightly, avoiding the bedroom, turned to the opposite room in the dark, and found that the door there was sealed by a delicate and strange lock.He studied for a while, and finally unlocked the delicately designed lock.Gently pushing the door open, an overwhelming sour smell rushed over.

The smell was so strong that Ruan Su recognized it right away—isn't this the smell of the unknown stain on the floor of Fang Fei's bedroom?

Now it was confirmed, Li Ren had indeed gone to find Fang Fei.

But what exactly is this smell coming from?

Ruan Su wandered around the room and found that it was a medicine storehouse that stored various rare medicinal herbs.This special and pungent smell seems to be emanating from those herbs.Ruan Su glanced at the names of those herbs, and found that she didn't know any of them.

They're all weird herbs.

Ruan Su closed her eyes and smelled it carefully.The more he smelled it, the more familiar it became. It seemed that this smell was not the first time he had seen it.

After thinking about it seriously, last night, when they lost their way, there was a faint smell like this spreading throughout the street.It's just that the difference lies in the concentration.

It seems that the smell is indeed from the herbs.According to Jiang Kefan, this smell is also present in Lao Bing's kitchen.Could it be that this village is rich in medicinal herbs, so every household is equipped with medicinal herbs, and the smell of medicinal herbs is everywhere?

Perhaps the more rare and rare treasures there are, the weirder the humanities and customs will be.This is the reason why troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers.Ruan Su didn't stay here much, and soon went to the first floor.

He's been here on the first floor, it's just an ordinary pharmacy.Ruan Su walked around again today, but didn't find anything special.Seeing that there was no progress in the investigation, Ruan Su frowned unhappily.

He was sitting in the hall thinking about the next countermeasures, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the side of the counter, something seemed wrong.

Ruan Su got up and walked over, covering the surface of the cabinet with her fingers, and carefully touched it inch by inch-"thump" there was a crack on the ground!

It turned out to be a secret door!
