Chapter 330 The sky is falling and the earth is falling
Qi Xi went to the island as Qiao Ying, not Guan Ziheng.
Although he did not come to see him and did not tell him about his plans, it was not difficult to infer where Qi Xi would appear given what happened that year and Chang Feizhang's general plan.
Qi Xi would definitely stay near the Doll Cave, watch Guo Yong's own destruction with his own eyes, and then return to Pinghai Town through the tomb passage.
"...!"
Seeing herself appear beside him silently, Qi Xi was shocked and had a distraught look on her face.
Before Qi Xi could say anything, Qiao Ying's eyes showed vigilance. She covered Qi Xi's mouth and nose first, alert to the situation around her. She signaled Qi Xi not to make a sound with her eyes and pulled Qi Xi away from the puppet cave.
Qi Xi wasn't surprised that she could find him. However, her expression was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed. She murmured in panic, "...I...I can't go back."
What can't be returned?
Because he had to lead the unrelated civilians and soldiers away from the land of snakes, it was already too late when Qiao Ying returned to the vicinity of the puppet cave. He didn't know what had happened, nor did he know what Qi Xi saw, but looking at Qi Xi's panic-stricken expression, it must have been something he had not expected.
"No matter what happened, I will help you. Calm down and speak slowly."
Although Qi Xi's appearance was not within his plan and purpose, this was his promise to Qi Xi.
Hearing Qiao Ying say this, Qi Xi's panicked eyes froze for a moment, and a glimmer of hope flashed in them. He looked at Qiao Ying with an eager look in his eyes.
After calming down, Qi Xi briefly told Qiao Ying what he had witnessed outside the cave.
What made Qi Xi difficult to calm down was that County Magistrate Chang was also involved in this case. He was worried that Hong Mingxu was colluding with the government and would kill everyone on the island as he did in the past to cover up the truth.
Guo Yong is dead, but Xu Tian and Lu Xingpeng are still missing. I wonder if they are secretly planning something with Hong Mingxu and want to harm people again.
"The road to the tomb is blocked, and there are people staying by the lake. How can I get back?"
He originally wanted to see Guo Yong die, and then return from the tomb passage as Guan Ziheng, but after the snakes rose up, he saw Guo Yong and Hong Mingxu enter the puppet cave one after another, and then only Hong Mingxu came out with something in his hand.
I don't know what he was holding because of the fog. I can only see where he put it, as if he was burying it. Then, the figure hurried away.
After confirming that Hong Mingxu had left, he wanted to go over and find out what was going on, but he didn't expect Chang Feizhang to show up first, take the things away, and then go down to the puppet cave.
Although Qi Xi was involved in the situation, he couldn't see everything clearly. He had no idea and couldn't understand why things had developed like this.
Not knowing the situation inside the cave, he didn't dare to enter the tomb rashly.
While Chang Feizhang was in the Doll Cave, he went to the place where Hong Mingxu had buried things. The soil, which had been turned over and hastily buried, was stained with blood.
I don’t know how long I waited, but Chang Feizhang came out of the puppet cave with another person on his back. He also changed his clothes and was no longer wearing the official uniform.
Through the thick fog, he couldn't see who was on Chang Feizhang's back, and he recognized Chang Feizhang because of his limp.
Qi Xi didn't dare to go down into the puppet cave until Chang Feizhang had left for a long time. However, he found that the entrance had been sealed and blood was seeping out of the soil.
He was not sure what Chang Feizhang wanted to do, nor was he sure whether Xu Tian and Lu Xingpeng died in the dense forest outside the lake island.
Considering Chang Feizhang's deliberate obstruction before going to the island, is my grandfather's death also related to Chang Feizhang?
He needs to go back and confirm.
But the road was blocked, he didn't know what to do, and his heart was in a mess.
Just as he was crawling out of the cave, feeling lost and at a loss, Qiao Ying appeared before him. This ignited a glimmer of hope in him, with an urgent look in his eyes.
Qiao Ying didn't know much more than Qi Xi. He only knew that Chang Feizhang had dealings with Tiandi Pavilion.
This time he went to the island to use the phosphorous fire to lead everyone to discover the Hundred Bone Pit and catch the murderer from that year. It was he who suggested pretending to be Jiang Lian'an and making a big deal out of this matter so that the murderer would be on guard.
If Chang Feizhang really colluded with Hong Mingxu and others with the intention of robbing money and killing people, there would be no need to alarm Tiandi Pavilion, and they would not agree to let him pretend to be Jiang Lian'an, and disregard his own life, contract stone lung disease, and design with Wu Sanshan, an insider at the time, the illusion of rekindling the lights in Huaifeng Village, alarming the world.
Can……
Without knowing the truth, Qiao Ying did not dare to make any promises in front of Qi Xi.
But despite this, he still tried his best to remain calm in front of Qi Xi. He comforted Qi Xi and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't panic, I have a way to get you back."
