Chapter 1654: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1654: Something's Wrong with this Courtyard
There have been murders here, and it's haunted?
Meng Yunzheng raised his head to look at the high walls in front of him and then turned to Meng Qi, "But you seem quite familiar with this place?"
Meng Qi awkwardly chuckled, "I didn't know before. I accidentally came here to hide when skipping school once. After going back home, my mother told me about it, and since then, I dared not come again."
Of course, mainly because this place is quite far from Meng's family home. If you go further to the left, you'll reach the city gate. Meng's family is located in the center of the county town, and he wouldn't come here unless it's urgent.
Now, they had no choice but to come here, ignoring the rumors of ghosts and other things.
Meng Qi began to study how to break the lock of the small door. The lock was quite old, covered in rust, making it not easy to open.
Seeing him struggle, Meng Yunzheng pushed him back and pulled out a dagger, directly prying the lock's latch open.
Meng Qi was speechless.
"Let's go."
Meng Qi quickly nodded, and the three of them entered through the small door.
The place seemed abandoned for a long time, and as Meng Qi entered, he accidentally walked into a cobweb.
He quickly cleared it away, and when Shu Yu finally entered, it was in much better condition except for a layer of dust.
Inside, the weeds were tall, and the lack of maintenance had blocked much of the view.
"Where's the back door?" Meng Yunzheng asked.
Meng Qi hurriedly pointed to the left, "Go that way, cross this courtyard, and you'll find it."
He led the way, but after walking a few steps, Meng Yunzheng suddenly grabbed him.
"What's wrong?" Meng Qi asked.
"No need to go there," Meng Yunzheng replied, walking towards a nearby corridor, where he noticed a mark on one of the pillars.
The mark was not complicated, just a diagonal line with a dot next to it.
Insignificant, but recognizable to those who knew.
Coincidentally, Meng Yunzheng was one of those who knew.
"This is the mark my father left for me," he said. "I saw the same mark on the street where we were searching for someone before. But at that time, someone was watching, so I didn't mention it. I originally planned to return to that street and follow the mark to find it. I didn't expect to find the same mark in this courtyard. It seems there's something wrong with this place."
Meng Yunzheng and Meng Pei had used various methods and tricks over the past ten-plus years to avoid the Gongqiu family.
This kind of mark was only known to the two of them, and they had an understanding. Most likely, Meng Pei had also guessed that Meng Yunzheng would come to Chenggu County.
After all, he had been keeping an eye on this area's situation. If he knew that Chenggu County was the first incident point, he would never turn a blind eye.
No matter when he came, leaving such a mark was never wrong.
Meng Qi's eyes lit up, "So, my father and uncle might be here? Then let's hurry and find them!"
"Hush," Meng Yunzheng suddenly hushed him, his expression changing, and he turned his head sharply.
Soon, they saw a man standing not far behind them, staring at them with wide eyes.
In the next moment, he took out a whistle and was about to blow it.
Meng Qi was shocked, and Shu Yu didn't hesitate. She raised her hand and shot a hidden arrow from her sleeve, hitting the man's arm. He cried out in pain as the whistle fell to the ground.
With the whistle gone, he opened his mouth to scream, but it was too late. Meng Yunzheng swiftly approached him and knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
