Chapter 36 The Terrible Guess
"How do you say that?"

Hearing Wu Chongwen's words with such certainty, Xiao Ningxue was a little surprised, he was not someone who could say such things casually.

Wu Chongwen gently rubbed the back of Xiao Ningxue's hand with his thumb, his eyes narrowed under the moonlight.

"Let me ask you, why did old man Li rent such a big pond?" "Fish farming! Clear water fish are delicious."

"What if he raises something other than fish?"

"Other things? What things?" When Xiao Ningxue said this, flashes of lightning flashed in her mind, associating many things to one place.

The victim who was stunned and thrown into the cave, the animal that ate human flesh. This, no matter how you look at it, looks like a feeding relationship.

If old man Li does not raise fish, but some kind of carnivorous animal, then the water in Xitang is dry, and that kind of animal has no food, so it can only be fed with human flesh.
If this inference is true, it would be terrible!
This man is horrible and what he feeds is horrible!
"Why does he keep this kind of thing? What is his intention?" Xiao Ningxue felt a chill down her spine like never before.

In Wu Chongwen's mind at this moment, a secret letter that the emperor showed him when he left Beijing emerged.

General Pingnan and the two lieutenants lay on the bed overnight, and turned into several bloody skeletons. The clothes and bedding were all intact, exactly the same as the dead in the cave.

In name, he went south to supervise the battle, but in fact he came to investigate the case.

But these, he can't tell Xiao Ningxue, it will reveal his prince's identity.

He was afraid of scaring her, afraid of affecting the relationship between them, afraid that she would shrink back because of his identity~~
After a moment of silence, he shook his head.

"I don't know, but what is certain is that this kind of thing can't lack water, so he can't go far."

"As long as we search for the villages near the Deluo River, we will definitely find him."

"Awen's analysis is correct." Xiao Ningxue nodded heavily, then stood up, "We'll go find the village chief to draw a portrait of old man Li, and get this demon out."

After drawing the portrait of old man Li, it was already late, and the two of them went to bed after washing.

Xiao Ningxue took off Wu Chongwen's clothes, pressed her face against his chest like a kitten, and said in annoyance:
"Last night I slept with my face next to your heart, but then I moved away somehow. If I am so irresponsible again tonight, you will beat me up early tomorrow."

She is a serious person, and she can't make mistakes in everything she does.

"I don't blame you." Wu Chongwen grabbed her fidgeting hand and clasped her in his arms, "It's because I'm not sleeping well, I won't be tonight."

"Okay, sleep on it." Xiao Ningxue fell asleep after listening to the strong heartbeat, like a lullaby.

And Wu Chongwen couldn't help but feel a little moved when he looked at the little girl who was sometimes naive and simple, sometimes calm and sophisticated, in his arms.

He who once vowed not to marry for life has never expected a girl to grow up quickly, marry him as soon as possible, and be his woman.

This is also the reason why he didn't dare to reveal his real identity. He has to take it step by step, and when he turns her into his own woman and cooks her rice, she will be safe!
When Xiao Ningxue opened her eyes the next morning, she found her small face pressed against Wu Chongwen's chest, feeling his scorching temperature and strong heartbeat, well, she felt that the task was completed.

After that, he raised his head carefully, and what he saw was a handsome face that could make any woman fascinated, sexy and seductive.

Such a good-looking man falls asleep with his arms around her every night, it's wonderful to think about it.

It's a pity that she's only 20 years old, but her soul is 28. Does this count as sibling love?
No, no, her body is only 15 years old, and often unknowingly reveals the innocence and playfulness of her little daughter Jiajia. It seems that the brain of the original owner still has an impact on her personality.

So, this is not sibling love, she is his little wife!
After looking at his pleasing man for a while, Xiao Ningxue got up and got dressed.

During breakfast, Wu Chongwen asked the village chief which villages were near the Luo River. "There are quite a lot of villages near the Luohe River. Liba Village, Luwang Village, and Dongren Village. The village chief mentioned six or seven of them in one breath.

"Which one is the nearest village to Guhuai Village and near the river?" Wu Chongwen asked.

"A village close to Xitang and close to the Luohe River.. The village chief scratched his forehead and thought for a while, "That should be Liba Village, no, no, speaking of it, our village is next to Banqiao Town in Ding'an County, which is close and close. The village in Hehe should be Peach Blossom Village, where the daughter of a distant cousin of mine was married. "

Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing this.

Taohua Village is not only close to Guhuai Village, but the road is easy to walk, flat and wide, and horse-drawn carriages can pass.Therefore, old man Li is very likely to move his nest to Peach Blossom Village.

If this is the case, wouldn't the villagers be in danger?
After breakfast, the two left in a hurry and returned to Taohua Village in a carriage.

On the carriage, Xiao Ningxue frowned.

"There are fish in the Luo River, so Old Man Li shouldn't feed his monsters with living people again?" "Maybe." Wu Chongwen wasn't sure, "We'll find out when we get back."

Feeling uneasy, the two spent half a day returning to Peach Blossom Village.

After arriving home, Xiao Ningxue settled the carriage money, then helped Wu Chongwen into the room and lay down.

After traveling all the way and not sleeping well at night, Wu Chongwen couldn't open his eyelids, so he told Xiao Ningxue.

"Xiaoxue, don't take the portrait to find old man Li, just try to scare the snake away, and make arrangements after I wake up."

"Don't worry, I know." Xiao Ningxue said, "Sleep well, I'll go outside casually, and I won't deliberately inquire, so I won't disturb him."

"Okay." Wu Chongwen replied, and fell asleep.

Xiao Ningxue checked that the temperature of his legs was normal before he dared to leave the room.

If old man Li came to Taohua Village, where would he be? Would he come into the village? Or would he hide by the Luo River and not show his face?
With doubts, Xiao Ningxue first went around under the old locust tree, and listened to the women chatting for a while, but she didn't hear anything happened in the village.

She went around and asked if there were any outsiders in the village, but everyone said no.

But the village is big, with hundreds of families, so it's not certain that everything is fine.

After inquiring about it, Xiao Ningxue didn't dare to stay for long, so she went home.

After all, everything about Old Man Li is just speculation. Who knows if he came to Peach Blossom Village? Anyway, nothing happened.

On the way home, Xiao Ningxue met Xiao Yue who was holding Xiao Hong to graze by the dry stream.Xiao Ningxue went over to take the reins.

"Xiao Yue, thank you for taking care of Xiao Hong."

"Thank you? I took your candy."

"Do you still want candy?" Xiao Ningxue blinked her eyes, "If you want to, go to the canal and ask, and see if there have been any missing persons in the village in the past two days.'

"Okay, I'll go now." Xiao Yue was addicted to eating sugar, so she went to the canal.But after a while, she ran back in panic.

"It's not good, it's not good, Liren from the second uncle's family fell into the Luo River and was pushed away by the water. I have to report to the second uncle immediately."
