Hua Qianqian glared at her viciously, and knew in her heart that the woman in front of her was not human at all, and she definitely could do it, she ground her teeth several times, and finally replied unwillingly: "I'll go with you .”

"Then stop dawdling and let's go."

Shen Ruo put away the empty bottle and oil paper, crossed his arms around his chest, and watched the little girl slowly get up from the ground, without any intention of stepping forward to help her, she just walked in the direction she came and went.

Seeing her walking forward with her back turned to her, Hua Qianqian gritted her teeth suddenly, stepped lightly, and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away again, when she heard that annoying cold voice: "I don't want you to have those beautiful calves from now on, just be obedient." Be obedient and don't play tricks."

Seeing a cold light reflected in her eyes, Hua Qianqian stared at the sharp knife in Shen Ruo's hand, swallowed, a little uncertain whether she would do it, but she didn't dare to bet.

In the end, he had no choice but to follow obediently, but he had already scolded Shen Ruo's family all over in his heart.

While walking, the person in front suddenly stopped, Hua Qianqian didn't check for a while, and bumped into it directly, she just wanted to yell, but her mouth was covered, and she couldn't make a sound: "Ugh—" What are you doing?
But seeing her staring at the corner far away, Hua Qianqian followed the trend, and saw a hunchbacked man dressed slightly differently from Zhong Yuan, standing there furtively, fiddling with his hands, and saw him unexpectedly directly through the wall.

Hua Qianqian's eyes almost popped out, and she slapped Shen Ruo's arm vigorously: "Did you see it? Did you see it? That person, that person actually passed through, through the wall! Is that a ghost?" ? Or a monster?"

After the person left, Shen Ruo let go of Hua Qianqian's mouth, and just as she was thinking, she was slapped violently. The little girl looked small, but she was quite strong, and she was slapped in pain.

She let go of her hand, pushed the kid aside, thought for a while and said, "I'm going to investigate, you go back to the City Lord's Mansion by yourself. If you get lost or are abducted by human traffickers, you will bear the consequences."

"..." Is this what people say?
As soon as Hua Qianqian reached out her hand, she saw that the other party had run away, and she was so angry that she stomped on the spot.

Shen Ruo climbed up the wall and chased the hunchbacked man all the way in the direction where the hunchbacked man was leaving. Since he can pass through the wall, he shouldn't deliberately take detours. If he goes straight in this direction, he should be able to find him.

The people who attacked her twice before were aggressive and well-trained. They looked like an elite team trained by big shots, and they kept catching children. Either they were going to use these children for something, or That's who they're looking for.

Although she had promised Lin'er that she would not put herself in danger again, since the clues were directly in front of her, how could she miss it?
It's just that after chasing him for two streets, she still didn't see the hunchbacked man again.

"Could it be lost?"

Standing on the eaves of the roof, Shen Ruo looked around the messy alleyway, then pursed her lower lip, feeling a little unhappy.

Just when she was hesitating whether to continue looking for it, a childish voice came from the corner next to her: "What? Lost you?"

She frowned immediately, staring at the little pink peach figure: "Why are you here?"

The little guy put his hands on his hips and hummed twice proudly: "I know this alley better than you, so of course I know how to take a shortcut."

"I mean, didn't I tell you to go back to the City Lord's Mansion? Why did you follow?"

"How could I miss such an interesting thing?"

The peach-clothed girl was still in a state of embarrassment, but the sad look on her face was gone, and she seemed to be alive.

Shen Ruo stared at her for a moment, then said calmly: "But it's a pity that I've lost her, now I can only go back."

The girl immediately said excitedly: "If you are willing to take me with you, I can show you the way. I know where that strange man is."

"Where?"

"You promise me first."

Shen Ruo nodded without hesitation: "Okay, let's talk."

This actually made Hua Qianqian hesitate: "You promised so readily, you don't mean to lie to me, do you?"

"I never lie. Since you want to follow, I won't stop you, but I will tell you clearly in advance that if you lose arms and legs when the time comes, just don't blame me."

"...that strange man should be in that direction."

Shen Ruo raised her eyebrows, seeing what she said so decisively, she couldn't help being a little puzzled: "How do you know?"

"I have said that I am very familiar with this place. There are a few empty houses over there. That strange man should not be from our Xiao country. If he wants to hide, he must live in a place where no one is around. .”

Shen Ruo smiled lightly, jumped down from the eaves, and patted the girl on the head: "Yes, you are very smart."

The girl's face turned red, and her head glowed like a mad lion cub: "Don't touch my head, I hate it when people touch my head! Also, don't underestimate children."

"Really? Who then ran away from home as soon as he got angry, wanting to worry his family members? Childish."

The girl's face turned even redder in an instant. Just as she was about to refute, she was picked up with one hand and held between her arms. The sudden weightlessness made her cry out in surprise, and subconsciously hugged Shen Ruo's neck tightly.

But soon, she came to her senses again, just about to break free from her embrace, but a refreshing cool wind blowing on her face attracted her attention, and she found herself speeding across the eaves.

"What a fast speed! I actually flew on the eaves! Hahaha, it's amazing!"

But after a while, this wonderful experience ended, and she suddenly felt dissatisfied, "Hey, why don't you continue? I haven't played enough yet."

"Already here."

Shen Ruo only stared at a dilapidated farmhouse not far away. Standing impressively in the courtyard was the hunchbacked man. He was busy chopping firewood and boiling water, but he didn't realize that he was already being watched.

She said lightly, "You stay here obediently now, and I will let you out when the matter is over."

"Huh? Where are you going to let me go..."

Before she finished asking her doubts, she fell silent.

Shen Ruo jumped from the eaves a few meters high, with a figure as light as a swallow, and ran straight to the back of the farmhouse, the whole action did not make the slightest sound.

She carefully leaned against the wooden door, and waited for the hunchbacked man in the yard to return to the house after he finished his work. Then she climbed over the wall and entered the yard. She heard a loud cry of "Wow", followed by two more, and the sharp cry came to an end. Like a nail poking straight into a person's brain, hearing it makes people's brains hurt.

Even Shen Ruo was taken aback by the sudden crying, but it also showed that she had found the right place.

The hunchbacked man could walk through walls, if he was alarmed, he might just pick up the child and run away without a trace.

Shen Ruo rolled his eyes slightly, and turned his gaze to the thatched pile piled up in the corner of the wall.
