Hearing Meng Chun Lou's words, Yan Jiu Niang could not help but have a face of astonishment, and asked: "Is that possible? Those villagers are all ordinary citizens and there's nothing special about them at all. As for making those who harm others use the man-eating vine? "

"This is the crux of the problem!" Meng Chun Lou pondered for a long time and then muttered, "If they don't have any value to use, then could they be where they are?"

"Location?" Yan Jiuniang narrowed her eyes and thought for a long time, then smiled and said, "That's even more impossible! Because the location of this village is really unremarkable, unless there is a huge treasure trove buried underneath the village! "

"That seems impossible! Because if there really is a treasure trove in the village, it's impossible for those villagers to not know about it! " Meng Chun Lou smiled bitterly.

"Since everything can't be excluded, then there's only one explanation left!" Yan Jiuniang said.

"What explanation?" Meng Chun Lou asked expectantly.

"The villager must have wanted to use these villagers to test the power of the man-eating vine. Although this method is cruel, it is the most effective method!" Yan Jiuniang said.

"Oh?" Meng Chun Lou could not help but frown, "Who would be so cruel? If the truth is as you said, he had only killed the villagers to test the power of the man-eating vine, then who is the one that he truly wants to deal with? "

"It seems like we still have more undiscovered secrets!" Yan Jiuniang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "I only hope that we can live to the day we find out the truth!"

"Why do you say that? "You're worried that the perpetrators will attack us?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Anyone who tries to get close to a secret that others have intentionally hidden could lose their life!" Yan Jiuniang bitterly smiled, "Unless you don't want to know the truth of this secret!"

"I must uncover the truth, because too many people have already lost their lives because of this secret!" Meng Chun Lou said with a resolute expression.

At this moment, it was already deep into the night, and the stars were quietly climbing up, but without the moon, she felt that something was missing. Yan Jiuniang looked ahead and only felt that there was a patch of red light in the distance, as if the early morning sun had not yet broken through the clouds.

Meng Chun Lou only took a quick glance before she frowned and said with a wry smile, "That is not the sunset. It is the flame!"

"Huh?" Yan Jiuniang was shocked. She turned to look at Meng Chunlou, only to see that with a flash, he had already appeared a few meters in front of her. She couldn't help but anxiously say, "Wait for me!"

How could Meng Chun Lou have the mood to wait for her? No matter who lost their home, they wouldn't have the temper to wait for someone else!

When Yan Jiuniang saw this, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "If you are Gu Yiyang, no matter what happens, you probably won't easily leave me behind, right?"

Saying this, she let out a bitter laugh. Then, using her movement technique, she leisurely rushed towards the light of the fire!

By the time she rushed to the scene of the incident, Meng Chunlou's face was already covered in ashes, and beads of sweat were sliding down his dark face. However, he completely ignored them and continued to crazily throw himself into the fire, which caused Yan Jiuniang to be at a loss.

"Iron sword!" "Jiang Sheng's iron sword!" Meng Chun Lou shouted as he searched the fire. Despite the smoke and fire, he didn't avoid it. His persistence shocked Yan Jiuniang. She could feel his foolishness!

Meng Chunlou finally found the iron sword. As soon as he picked it up, he hastily threw it away and looked at his hand, which had already been burned to a pulp. He then took off his clothes and wrapped them around his hand before picking up the iron sword and jumped out of the yard.

"Have you gone stupid?" Yan Jiuniang asked with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you ask?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"How much is an iron sword worth? Is it worth risking it to pick it up? " Yan Jiuniang asked.

"Of course it's worth it! Because I made this sword with my own hands! " Meng Chunlou smiled bitterly, "To a swordsman, the sword is still there. If the sword is gone, what's the point in living?"

"I think Jiang Sheng will be very touched if he is here!" Yan Jiuniang bitterly smiled.

"I'm not trying to move anyone. I'm just insisting on it!" Meng Chun said.

Yan Jiu Niang suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not only stupid but stubborn. Whatever he thought was right, he would do it. No matter how difficult it was, he would do it.

Yet, it was precisely this person that she couldn't not sympathize with. She couldn't not admire him because the things he did were so philosophical.

"Now that your home is gone, it's impossible for me to drink tea here. Do you dare to follow me to the Pleasure Tower? I can invite you to be my esteemed guest! " Yan Jiuniang laughed.

"I don't dare!" Meng Chunlou smiled bitterly, "How could I have that much silver?"

"You don't have to bring a lot of silver to be my esteemed guest, especially since I took the initiative to invite you!" Yan Jiuniang laughed.

"Since that's the case, of course I won't refuse!" Meng Chun Lou smiled. "But, if I were to be your esteemed guest, wouldn't you have to listen to everything I say?"

"That's not right either!" Yan Jiuniang laughed.

"Oh? What kind of answer is that? " Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Saying that it's right is because I really would do it. Saying that it's wrong is because I have my own personality. If I don't like to do things, I wouldn't do them!" Yan Jiuniang said.

"What if I just talk to you and ask you a few questions?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Then of course I will fully cooperate with you!" Yan Jiuniang laughed.

"Alright, I'll go with you!" Meng Chun said.

As the two of them spoke up to this point, they took advantage of the darkness to rush to Yangzhou's Pleasant House. Although they were some distance away, no one objected. After all, they could not renege on an agreement easily!

Fortunately, not long after they left, they met the horse carriage that came looking for Yan Jiuniang, and the driver was Ding Yuhua. She recognized Meng Chun Lou and Yan Jiuniang with a single glance, and shouted loudly, "Lady Yan, I've finally found you! The sisters are all frantic because of you!"

"What's going on?" Yan Jiuniang asked.

"If you go out for a day and haven't returned, which one of you is not anxious? It was all thanks to my luck that I found you after searching for you! " Ding Yuhua took out a gong from under the car seat and knocked it hard. Then she said, "Qiu Ying and the others are still looking for you. I believe they will be here soon hearing the gong!"

"Let's not wait for them. I have an important guest by my side. Let's go back to the Pleasant Tower first!" As Yan Jiuniang said this, she turned around to look at Meng Chun Lou.

Ding Yuhua couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Meng Chunlou in such a sorry state. She said, "Benefactor's appearance is really surprising!"

Meng Chunlou smiled awkwardly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Our family has been burnt by the wicked. Now, we can only trouble Miss Yan!"

"Stop talking, get in the car!" Yan Jiuniang laughed.

Meng Chun Lou felt that her appearance was too comical, so she didn't show any more politeness and hurried onto the horse carriage.

As soon as they left, two people came out of the darkness. One of them coldly laughed and said, "This Meng Chun Lou is indeed a lustful person. He forgot what he should do after being coaxed by a woman!"

"Second Brother Zhu, when are you going to bring your little brother to have fun? "Third brother, I've followed you and ran quite a few times today. Right now, my waist is still sore!" Li Sandao laughed.

"Don't worry. When that Meng Chun Tower is completely subdued by us brothers, I'll take you all to conquer those little ladies of the Pleasant Restaurant!" At that time, your waists would still be sore! " Zhu Ergou laughed evilly.

Li Sandao seemed to have been stabbed in the heart by these words. A cheerful smile immediately appeared on his face as he said, "I knew that you would have some good fortune by following second brother!"

"Alright!" We can go back and report! This time, just wait for Big Bro to reward you! " Zhu Ergou laughed proudly.

At this time, a pair of hands patted their shoulders. They thought that the other person was patting them, so they looked at each other and laughed out loud. Unexpectedly, someone behind them asked coldly: "You are laughing so loudly, aren't you afraid of disturbing the others?"

The voice was cold and sinister, sudden and domineering. When Chu and Li heard it, they felt as if they had heard a ghost, and suddenly turned their bodies around. The voice was cold and sinister, and suddenly and domineering, and when Zhu and Li heard it, they felt as if they had heard a ghost, and suddenly turned their bodies around.

However, after running for a long time, they still felt that person's breathing was right beside their ears. Especially the snort that came out of that person's nose; it was filled with ridicule and contempt, making them feel unspeakably stifled!

Zhu Ergou couldn't help but look back, only to see that the man's face was extremely dark and grim. The trees behind him were all standing still, as if his running speed wasn't enough to pull them apart!

He subconsciously looked at his feet. His feet were a foot away from the ground. Although he was kicking non-stop, he was still standing there!

It turned out that the collar on the back of his and Li Sanmei's necks were both in that man's hands. Furthermore, they were always in the air, so how could they possibly escape?

That person seemed to have noticed their situation, so he threw them on the ground and asked coldly, "You two bold little thieves, what kind of Ecstasy did you two take to dare provoke Meng Chunlou? Are you tired of living?"

"May I ask if you are a human or a ghost?" Zhu Ergou gathered up his courage and asked.

"If you speak truthfully, then I am a human. If you speak falsely, then I am a ghost!" That person coldly laughed, "Do you want me to be a human or a ghost?"

"Of course I want to be a good person!" Zhu Ergou hurriedly replied.

"Then answer me!" The man emphasized coldly.

"We, we are people of the Fulfillment Hall!" Li San Mao was afraid that Zhu Er Gou was too cunning and would try to play some tricks in front of that person, so she quickly replied.

"Oh!" "It's the Fulfillment Hall again!" That person coldly smiled, "What are you all doing this for?"

"No, you can't!" Zhu Ergou said.

"You can't say it?" That person coldly snorted, "Don't tell me you want me to become a ghost?"

"No, no, no! I mean, we don't know why we did it! " Zhu Ergou replied incoherently.

"Hmm?" His hair stood on end as he spoke, "You brat, you dare hit my sloppy eyes? Do you believe that I can take your little life with a single palm? "

"Letter of faith!" Zhu Ergou nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, "The reason we're doing this is because we don't want Meng Chun Lou to ruin our plans!"

"Oh?" The man looked Zhu Ergou up and down, "What will he do to you? From what I see, you don't look like a good person either. Could it be that he doesn't want you all to do bad things? "

"Right, right!" It's because he doesn't want us to do anything bad that we have to deal with him! " Zhu Ergou said.

"In that case, he should be a good person. Why do you have to be so cruel to a good person?" the man asked.

"This, this, this …" Zhu Ergou smiled bitterly, "Aren't bad people and good people natural enemies? Isn't it perfectly justified for this villain to deal with good people? "

"Then do you think I'm a good person or a bad person?" the man asked.

"You, of course you're a good person!" When Zhu Ergou said this, he suddenly felt that something was amiss, so he quickly changed his words, "No no no, you are not a good person, you are a bad person! Bad people don't deal with bad people, right? "

"You're wrong!" That person gave a crafty smile, "Although I am a bad person, I am not as bad as you two. Compared to you two, I am actually a good person! Therefore, according to your logical reasoning, a good person should deal with a bad person. "Therefore, I want to …"

"No, no, no! You can't reason like that! " Zhu Ergou broke out in cold sweat, "How can a bad person deal with a bad person? If that's the case, then wouldn't the bad guys become good people? "

"You're right!" That person touched his forehead, "I'm already used to being a bad person, I suddenly want to taste what it's like to be a good person. How about you two give me a chance?"

"Huh?" Zhu Ergou was shocked, "How can you be like this? Can't you talk about principles? "

"What's there to talk about!?" The reason is on his side, let's fight it out with him! " As Li Sandao spoke, he raised the steel knife in his hand and chopped down at that person's head!

With a "pu" sound, that person's head was cut into two by Li Sanmei's steel knife. Blood immediately gushed out of his head and his brain matter was scattered all over, many of them spraying onto Li Sanmei's face, blurring his eyes. He could not help but say angrily: "Damn it, with just this bit of ability, you actually dared to pretend to be a god in front of me. If I knew earlier, I would not have been able to beat you up so badly, and you would not be so scared to break out in cold sweat!"

He turned towards Zhu Ergou with a look of triumph on his face, wiped the blood off his face, and asked, "What are you standing around for? You should at least give me a round of applause! "

Zhu Ergou's eyes were almost popping out from his fear. He lifted his trembling right hand and slowly pointed behind Li Sandao. His mouth moved three times before forcing out two words, "He's alive!"
