When the sky was about to dawn, the rain stopped. Everyone had a simple breakfast and looked at the mountains and forests, hoping that the three people would throw themselves into a trap for their own lives.

Snake Lao, on the other hand, was drinking porridge with the presence of the old god, not worried at all.

Lianyi didn't want to stay in the humid ruined temple any longer. She was planning to set off to Wujiang County one step ahead of schedule.

"Lianyi, if you don't wait and see, they will probably trade with Snake for their own lives."

Wang Meimei said firmly.

"No, my wife is weak. Although she didn't get caught in the rain last night, the humidity here is too heavy. We are planning to leave for Wujiang County first. It won't be too late for us to meet up at that time."

Ripple said with a smile.

"That's okay. Brother Xiao and I will wait and see. Those people should come back."

While the two were talking, Wang Yaozu put the clay pots, millet bags, salt, and iron spoons into the carriage, and then went to lead the horse.

Lianyi and Wang Meimei talked for a long time, but did not see Wang Yaozu come back. Wang Zhenzhen frowned and said:

"Lianyi, go and see if anything happens."

That one is also a master who is being hunted.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Lianyi turned around and was about to leave the ruined temple when she saw Wang Yaozu coming back panting. He stood with his legs propped up for a while before he said:

"Madam, all three horses are missing. I couldn't find them in the woods. Did they run away because of the heavy rain?"

"No, my white dragon is very smart! He probably went deeper into the forest to escape the rain."

Lianyi still has some confidence, Bailong was raised by her.

"What should we do then?"

Wang Yaozu asked directly, he didn't dare to go deep into the mountains and forests, otherwise he would be lost if the horse was not found.

"Don't worry, we won't let you enter the deep mountains and forests."

Lianyi waved his hand, took out a small wooden whistle from his arms, then put it to his mouth and blew three times quickly. In the quiet morning, the crisp sound of the whistle spread far and wide.

After burning the incense, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves. Apparently, the horse heard the master's call and came back on its own.

"Hey, Sister Lianyi, look! Is there someone lying on the back of your horse?"

Wang Meimei's eyes were very good and she immediately asked.

When she said this, everyone looked over, and there was actually a man in black lying on his back. Because the white dragon was a white horse, it was very conspicuous.

"There are people on the other two horses too!"

Xiong Zigeng's voice was louder than Wang Meimei's, and everyone's attention was attracted, including Snake Lao and Xiao Shu.

Bailong took the lead and trotted up to Lianyi. Then he shook his body in disgust and shook the person off his horse.

Bailong's younger brother also followed suit. After the three of them fell to the ground without any reaction, everyone gathered around to take a look. What a coincidence! It was Hou Yong and the other three who escaped last night.

"Sister Lianyi, your horse is so amazing that it actually carried people back."

Wang Meimei said with a smile.

Old Snake had already stepped forward, checked the three of them, then shook his head and said:

"They've been poisoned."

"It seems that the horse in the forest last night was not prepared by them. It should be the horse of Ripple Woman. However, she did not tie the horse, but let the horse graze in the forest by itself. Hou Yong happened to see it and snatched it away. Used to be a mount.

Our horses were all tied here. We didn’t ride them when we chased them, so we were escaped by the three of them. It was just because they ran with all their strength that their poison spread faster. They probably hadn’t realized that they had been bitten by a snake before, so in Fainted on horseback.

These horses were owned by their owners. They stopped when no one was controlling them. After hearing Ripple Woman's call, they returned the same way. "

Xiao Shu reacted quickly and analyzed the general process based on the situation before and after.

At this time, Old Snake had already found a worn-out parchment scroll on Hou Yong's body and unfolded it directly in front of everyone.

At this time, Lianyi had comforted Bai Long, and he also leaned over to take a look. At least she had a share of credit for this.

The so-called treasure map dangled in front of everyone's eyes, and then returned to the hands of Snake Lao and Xiao Shu.

"Old Snake, Mr. Xiao, what should we do next?"

Zhang Nian asked with a happy face.

"Now that we have the map, we have to study carefully to see where the things are, and then prepare before setting off to find them."

Snake Lao felt a little proud, touched his sleeves and said.

"That's definitely no problem, but who will keep the map?"

"Of course it's Mr. She and Mr. Xiao."

"That won't work, just in case"

"That's right, we all found this treasure map together. We can't put it on one person. It's not that we can't trust Mr. She and Mr. Xiao. What if we meet the people from Broken Sword Mountain again?"

For a time, this group of people in the world immediately fell into an argument over the possession of the treasure map, and the atmosphere became visibly tense. The actual situation was that no one believed anyone else.

Lianyi just glanced at it, then withdrew from the crowd, nodded to Wang Zhenzhen, and then asked Wang Yaozu to hitch the carriage, and they were ready to set off. She didn't want to wade into this muddy water, and after seeing the treasure map, she had already memorized it. Come down, there is no need to fight with these people anymore.

"Ripple Girl, please stay!"

Xiao Shu's voice raised and stopped Lianyi and his party who were about to leave.

"Mr. Xiao, what's the matter?"

"You're not interested in treasure maps?"

Xiao Shu's eyes flashed and he asked.

"Master Xiao is joking. I have said it from the beginning. I am the wife's guard. Protecting her is the most important thing. As for the treasure map, I don't know if it is true or false. Even if it is true, I can't We are taking the risk with my wife, and besides, someone has plotted against us before, and the driver is also injured, so we plan to get to Wujiang County first."

Lianyi said it very calmly and meant something.

The implication is: You haven't figured out whether the treasure map is true or false, so you are fighting here. If the treasure is not found, everyone will be buried here. She doesn't want to wade into muddy waters, and is going to leave them separately to avoid fighting. It spread to her wife.

"Ahem! Does Ripple Girl have any good ideas?"

Xiao Shu coughed lightly and continued to ask after covering up his embarrassment.

"Since you think it's not safe to put on anyone's body, then just make a rubbing and keep it for yourselves."

"This is a good idea! No one suffers! Everyone can feel at ease!"

Xiong Zigeng immediately echoed loudly.

"Then Ripple Girl won't take a rubbing?"

Xiao Shu stared at Lianyi and continued to ask.

"No need. We joined halfway and didn't do much. Moreover, we were attacked inexplicably before. We don't know who was watching us secretly. It's better to do less than to do more. I am the lady's guard. The most important thing is to protect her. My wife."

Lianyi's answer was very direct. Translated, she didn't want to be hunted down because of a treasure map that she didn't know was true or false, and would further implicate Madam.

Everyone was silent now.

"Goodbye first! We will definitely not tell anyone about what happened here, please don't worry!"

Lianyi said, Xiao Shu believed it.

"Lianyi, see you in Wujiang County!"

"Okay!" (End of this chapter)
