Chapter 117
However, what made Shi Ruge feel strange and bizarre was that the mark she made on the ground and on the trees before was gone.
When she led everyone and stopped in the center of the woods, she had no idea which direction she should go next.
"How could this happen? I remember that I had made many marks before, but why did it disappear..." After looking around for a long time, Shi Ruge's slender and beautiful eyebrows turned into curved waves again, looking very anxious.
Knowing that Shi Ruge had forgotten the road, Gong Ziqi, He Qianxing and Tang Yuying were also looking around. They were all guessing which direction there would be a big banyan tree.
"This forest really feels quite strange. Even I can't tell the direction. Ruge, how did you get out then?" Tang Yuying looked around and couldn't help asking Shi Ruge. She didn't know that Yi Zhuofeng appeared in time at that time and saved Shi Ruge.
Shi Ruge did not answer Tang Yuying's words for the time being. Because she is not in any mood now, she is full of anxiety.
"We are not the only one in this woods, there are many people. Be careful." He Qianxing suddenly whispered.
With his profound martial arts realm, he felt that at this time, eyes were everywhere in the woods, staring at them.
"Master, I also feel that there are still many people lurking here, because I was almost swept away by a strong wind at that time..." Shi Ruge said tremblingly again. Even though the three of them followed her, she was still a little scared.
"Sister Ruge, please recall carefully, where is Zhilan in? Where is the big banyan tree you mentioned?" Gong Ziqi, who was standing beside him, said impatiently again. Shi Ruge looked stupid and stupid, and he was almost out of patience.
The more Gong Ziqi urged, Shi Ruge became more and more messy. Now she also looked at Gong Ziqi and said a little aggrievedly: "What are you doing? I made a mark, but now the mark has been destroyed! If you can't wait, then you go and find it yourself, let's look for it separately!"
"Look separately? Hum, Shi Ruge, have you ever grown up your brain? You can think of it! Since there is an ambush here, then we will look for it separately, and everyone will fall into a very dangerous situation in the end. Do you know you?" Gong Ziqi said again, wishing he could slap Shi Ruge to death. Looking separately, if many killers appear like rushing towards him, he would not be able to deal with it. The Gong family who followed him to protect him in secret may not be able to deal with it.
Now he is increasingly disliked Shi Ruge. On the one hand, it is because he has seen that Shi Chengzhu's old fox would rather let Jin Ge be his son-in-law or Yi Zhuofeng be his son-in-law than let him be his son-in-law. On the other hand, it is because Shi Ruge has never seen him directly, and Shi Ruge has long become a broken shoe.
Seeing that Gong Ziqi had become this attitude towards Shi Ruge, Tang Yuying couldn't help but frown gently. Because in the past, Gong Ziqi was so humble and polite, so gentle and elegant. However, now, he seemed to have become a different person, becoming impetuous, becoming cringe-forward, and becoming unreasonable.
"Mr. Gong, since you are impatient, I think Ruge is right. Let's look for it separately so that we can save time." Tang Yuying echoed Shi Ruge and said to Gong Ziqi.
"You..." Because Tang Yuying helped Shi Ruge speak, Gong Ziqi suddenly stared at Tang Yuying again, his eyes widened and his eyes were sharp.
Just as Gong Ziqi choked, Jin Ge's voice came from not far away.
Jin Ge is with Yi Zhuo Feng.
"Gong Ziqi, it's because you have poor martial arts skills, so you dare not separate from everyone! Why are you scolding Ruge? Is it her fault for Xu Zhilan to die? And are you really nervous Xu Zhilan?" Jin Ge directly scolded Gong Ziqi.
Because Jin Ge and Yi Zhuofeng also came at this time, the panic that had previously permeated Shi Ruge's heart finally dissipated.
When Jin Ge and Yi Zhuofeng stopped, Shi Ruge looked at them again, but didn't know what to say.
Gong Ziqi also looked at Jin Ge, panting, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "It's not that I dare not, now I'm just anxious! The person who died is Zhilan, and Zhilan is my good friend. If your good friend died, I think you will be more excited than me!"
"ca, my good friend won't die! Don't curse, a crow's mouth!" Jin Ge glared at him again and said, then he turned his face away, too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
Seeing that they were no longer harmonious, He Qianxing sighed silently and said to everyone: "Don't quarrel, don't blame Ruge, and at the same time understand Young Master Gong. Now Ruge doesn't remember the road, and it may be a solution to search separately according to what I see."
"Look separately? Where can I gather at that time? This forest is the same everywhere..." Gong Ziqi said in a questioning tone again. He still disagrees with search separately. He doesn't want to die in the woods just like this.
For a moment, everyone was a little helpless. In this way, Shi Ruge's eyes completely frozen on Yi Zhuofeng's face. She asked him softly, "Do you know the way? Do you remember the direction?"
Yi Zhuofeng never looked at Shi Ruge. His cold and deep eyes were not sure where he was looking, and said lightly: "I only remember the general direction. The big banyan tree is in the southwest."
"Southwest? Master Yi, wouldn't you be..." Gong Ziqi looked at Yi Zhuoling Feng with suspicious eyes again. He didn't believe in Yi Zhuoling Feng because he knew that Yi Zhuoling Feng was from the Tianyi Sect. As for Yi Zhuoling Feng now being with Jin Ge and others, he also knew that there was something else in it. Yi Zhuoling Feng said that Xu Zhilan's body was in the southwest, and he even guessed that Yi Zhuoling Feng was to attract them all to the southwest, and finally made them all step on the trap.
However, Jin Ge made a decisive decision and said to everyone: "Then go to the southwest. I believe in the turbid wind."
Shi Ruge quickly agreed with Jin Ge's words and said in a heavy voice: "I believe too! Zhuofeng will not lie!"
At this time, Tang Yuying was also dissatisfied with the words of Gong Ziqi: "Master Gong, if you don't believe what this young master said, then you can't follow us..."
Tang Yuying was less and less good at Gong Ziqi. Moreover, as she and Gong Ziqi became more and more social, her sensitive nose smelled the extremely elegant fragrance on his body. It was very similar to the fragrance on the man who wanted to force her to take care of her that day in Quanchi Villa.
Seeing that Tang Yuying was also dissatisfied with him, Gong Ziqi suddenly looked even more anxious, and at the same time he felt helpless. He quickly explained to Tang Yuying, "No, no! Miss Tang, you misunderstood me! It's not that I don't believe in Yi Zhuofeng, I'm just worried about your safety..."
At this moment, Yi Zhuofeng also wiped his lips contemptuously, and he told Gong Ziqi without expression, "Mr. Gong, if I want to kill anyone, I will kill you directly, and I will not use other means. As for killing you, I don't need to draw the sword or move on. Do you believe it?"
Yi Zhuofeng's words naturally caused Gong Ziqi to tremble slightly. He had seen Yi Zhuofeng's ability and cruelty long ago, so he was indeed afraid that Yi Zhuofeng would be detrimental to him.
However, his appearance did not show that fear. On the contrary, after a moment, he smiled faintly and said to everyone: "Lord Yi really likes to joke. It seems that I have judged a gentleman by the heart of a villain. Let's go. No more nonsense, so as not to waste time."
As the elder of everyone, He Qianxing had just pricked up his ears and was listening to the wind in the woods and capturing the message. At this moment, everyone finally fell silent, and he said, "Go to the southwest."
"Okay!" Shi Ruge and Tang Yuying responded together.
Jin Ge and Yi Zhuofeng looked at each other, but neither of them spoke again, and walked directly in front of the other four people, heading southwest.
Then, Shi Ruge and Tang Yuying held hands and followed closely behind them. He Qianxing and Gong Ziqi walked slowly and finally followed behind them.
The roads in the woods are very easy to walk, flat and dry. The trees are very high and vigorous. There are no dead trees and weeds around, only fallen leaves.
The six of them walked about three kilometers southwest. Then, Shi Ruge's eyes suddenly lit up, and his emotions became more relieved and excited.
Shi Ruge pointed directly at a big locust tree in front of him and told them loudly, "It's there, it's there! Jin Ge Yuying, Master Zhuifeng, look!"
Jin Ge and Yi Zhuofeng naturally saw it long ago. Just when they were less than five meters away from the big locust tree, they stopped at the same time.
Because the scene on the big locust tree at this time made them a little silence and their faces changed slightly.
There was indeed a young female corpse hanging on the big locust tree. They could confirm at a glance that it was Xu Zhilan.
And at this moment, Xu Zhilan's body was covered with many ants and insects, and was about to rot. And her two eyes were almost eaten up by the ants and insects.
However, Jin Ge couldn't help but turn around, and he had no choice but to teach Shi Ruge and said: "This is a locust tree, not a banyan tree, a big fool..."
"Zhilan, Zhilan!" After recognizing that it was Xu Zhilan, Gong Ziqi quickly stood up from behind and prepared to pounce forward.
Unexpectedly, He Qianxing grabbed him and comforted him with a helping voice, "Mr. Gong, don't act rashly. Now you go over, and all the ants and insects will fly to you!"
After seeing the situation ahead clearly, Shi Ruge was stunned again, standing there motionless, pale and in a trance.
How long has it been, less than two hours! Less than two hours after Xu Zhilan died, her body began to rot!
"Ruge, don't be afraid..." Seeing Shi Ruge's appearance as if he was about to fall down, Tang Yuying hurriedly supported her body.
Gong Ziqi's emotions became more and more excited. He kept muttering and asked the others loudly, "How could this happen? Why did Zhilan die? Who killed her and then hung her here? Why did the ants and insects all crawl on her so quickly?"
