My heart was filled with doubts. I directly asked Miao De's father my question, but his reply made me even more doubtful.

According to him, two more young men had come to the village before the fire, and after the two of them had wandered around the village a few times, they had said that they had seen many children in the mountains.

When the villagers heard this, they naturally followed the two youngsters into the mountains. Since there were no longer any strong men in the village, every single family's elder and guardian followed them into the mountains.

Not long after arriving in the mountain, the village was set on fire. Almost all the houses were set on fire at the same time! The raging flames seemed to have been possessed by a devil as they burned crazily. There was no way to save them at all!

It was only then that the two men finally explained their intention.

In fact, they didn't even see any children in the mountains. They only saw that all the houses in the village had been tampered with, so they tricked all the villagers out.

Not long after, a muddy man in white found the two of them. After conversing for a while, the man gave him a slip of paper and told him to pass it to me. Then, he and the two of them ran towards the direction of the county.

"I wonder what my good-for-nothing son is thinking. You clearly saved the children of the village, so how could you harm them?" Furthermore, if not for your two friends, our village would not have been able to escape this calamity! "

Speaking of which, Miao De's father started crying again, while I was thinking about the person who looked exactly like Zhang Zikong. And why did you lead me into the woods?

Furthermore, Miao De's father never told him about the incident, so who saved him? Or did he escape by himself?

At this moment, Miao De finally walked towards us as if he had settled everything. His father rushed up to him and slapped him in the face without saying a word. He even dragged him in front of me and started cursing!

"You vile creature! You are really blind! How did I give birth to an ingrate like you? Kneel down to your benefactor? "

Under my father's reprimand, Miao De obediently kneeled down towards me.

Seeing this, I hastily went forward to help him up. "It's fine, it's all in the past. Moreover, we're fine now. Let it pass if it's all in the past."

Seeing that I didn't have any intention of blaming him, Miao De's father didn't say anything more. Instead, Miao De passed me a piece of paper, saying that it was given to me by a girl from the village.

Could it be that he had finally gotten lucky?

Opening it to take a look, the handwriting is extremely beautiful. Indeed, it was written by a woman, but the contents made me frown.

The contents of the note were very concise. There were only five words on it: "Please don't go back". The signature was broad bean.

Besides the little witch, who else could come up with such a conclusion?

But why did she tell me not to go back? Could it really be like what Zhang Zi Kong said, that her brother was about to make a big move? However, what big movements of Dong Hai, what does it have to do with me? Had he not given up the insurance money?

If it were before, she would have warned me like this. I wouldn't go back even if I were beaten to death, but now that I have such a heaven defying helper like Zhang Zi Kong, how can I be afraid of him?

Therefore, I didn't even think about it and directly put the paper away.

It was night. The moon was bright and the stars were few. However, the Miao stronghold that was filled with ruins made one's heart unavoidably heavy. Fortunately, the village was located deep in the mountains, and most of the villagers were hunters, so the rations weren't a problem for them.

When Miao De's rabbits were roasted until oil flowed out, Big Board finally woke up. Seeing that his appetite was so good that he actually ate an entire hare by himself, I also felt relieved.

After eating my fill, almost everyone in the village lies down to sleep around the bonfire. However, while I'm still half asleep, I seem to hear a woman's voice calling my name!

After waking up, I looked around. However, I didn't see any suspicious figures. However, just as I was about to go back to sleep, I suddenly saw a piece of paper placed on top of a small rock in front of me!

Weird, Miao De is not far away and the bonfire we are on is surrounded by all the villagers' bonfires. If there's someone strange coming over to give me a note, Miao De should be able to see it!

Even though I was doubtful, I opened the note without any hesitation. The handwriting on it was still the Little Demoness'. The contents were simple words, "County City, Funeral Home, Child." The signature was still broad beans.

Could it be that all of the missing children in the village were taken to the county's funeral home? Then why did the Gu Miao say that the children were in his hands?

With a quick thought, I came to a realization.

Indeed, if the Gu Miao spoke the truth, then he definitely wouldn't be able to escape death, but if he was beaten to death then he might have a chance at survival.

Thinking of this, I immediately called over Miao De and passed the paper slip into his hands.

After reading the slip of paper, Miao De immediately woke up a few people who were still sleeping and left some people to keep vigil. Then, he directly brought the Gu Miao to the mountain.

As for what they did and asked, I don't know. However, when Miao De returned, he had a worried look on his face. He only replied with one sentence, "It's the same as before. I refuse to say anything."

After such a ruckus, I didn't feel sleepy anymore and immediately accompanied Miao De as he guarded the sky until daybreak.

Early the next morning, Miao De had assigned some men to begin reconstructing the building, but after he had assigned the tasks, he entrusted his father with the task, and he said that he would go with us to the county funeral home to see what was going on.

After all, the ones who are lost are all children. If a family member appears in front of us, they will undoubtedly feel much safer, so we didn't object. The three of us directly set off in the direction of the county town.

When they arrived at the county town, they found out through inquiry that the funeral home was at the other end of the town, and that it had to take a long detour. For convenience's sake, of course, this rich second generation, Da Gang, had settled the matter of travelling. The three of them wrapped up a van and headed in the direction of the funeral home.

However, as the car drove on, the sound of the chopping board came back to me from the last row of seats.

"Aiya, don't be noisy. He's sleeping soundly!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

He sat in the last row of seats, with Miao sitting at the two doors in the middle. According to logic, Miao De was not the type of person who liked to joke around. So who was the one who said that he would disturb his sleep?

Just as a bad feeling rose in my heart, the wooden cow in my hand started to heat up again!
