He Yu took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, and walked into the river with a relatively sturdy stick.

As a result, I looked around but didn't see any fish.

Wandering around in the water, I slowly began to get anxious.

He turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm sure I can catch some fish."

Jiang Mengli couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Haha...Okay, I believe you."

She stood up and walked to the edge, watching him busy in the water.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally the swaying figure of a fish appeared.

He Yu's face showed joy, "There's a fish!"

As he said this, he used a fork to poke the fish, but the fork missed and the fish flapped away.

Hahaha……

"It ran away." Jiang Mengli laughed.

He Yu forced a faint smile, "It's okay, there's more than one fish in such a big river."

Then he began to look for the fish very seriously.

In order not to scare away the fish, both of them fell silent.

Without being disturbed, the fish did come out.

Seeing this, He Yu held his breath and thrust the fork at the fish, but the fish ran away again, and he continued to chase it with the fork.

Suddenly, my feet slipped and I fell into the water, completely soaked.

Kong Kong was already laughing so hard in the space, "Hahaha... He's so cute."

Jiang Mengli: "Let's help him. I'm afraid he will cry soon."

As he spoke, he took out a little spiritual spring from the space and dripped it into the water.

Soon the spiritual energy spread out and fish swam over.

She immediately exclaimed happily, "Heyu, come here quickly, there are fish here, lots of fish!"

"Here they come." He Yu hurried over and was surprised to see several big fat fish. "Oh my god, such fat carp."

He bent down and reached out to grab the fish, but it didn't escape.

Once it was in my hands, it started flapping its wings non-stop, showing quite a bit of strength.

He threw them toward the shore, then bent down to catch them, catching three fish in total.

Jiang Mengli urged him after he got ashore: "Go to the carriage and change your clothes. I will take care of the fish."

He Yu was soaked all over, and if she didn't change, she would easily catch a cold.

After he left, Jiang Mengli lit the firewood, prepared the fish, coated it with seasoning, and grilled it.

About a quarter of an hour later, He Yu came over.

Kong Kong looked at his figure and said, "Master, I think he is quite good and very well-behaved."

Jiang Mengli: "Don't mention this, people will change."

The scent of fish fills the air, smelling very tempting.

He Yu sat down and asked curiously, "What seasoning is added to this? It smells so good."

After grilling for a quarter of an hour, all three fish were cooked.

Because Kong Kong wanted to eat some, Jiang Mengli took two and said he wanted to eat them alone in the front.

After keeping some distance from He Yu, he put a fish into the space.

After a night's rest, we continued our journey at dawn.

They were not walking very fast. When they came to some beautiful places, they would stop to stroll around and occasionally check the health of passers-by.

When we arrived at a town, we found that there were very few people on the street, and they were scattered here and there.

Jiang Mengli was very puzzled. "What's going on here? I've been to so many towns, but this is the quietest one."

He Yu also found it very strange, so she stopped a passerby and asked, "Brother, I want to ask, why are there so few people here? Are they unwilling to go out?"

The passerby was a middle-aged man who looked a little thin, pale and sickly.

He sighed and responded, "It used to be quite lively, but just three months ago, quite a few people disappeared for no apparent reason."

"Nowadays, many people are afraid to go out because they are afraid that they will not be able to return home after going out. They only go out when they have no other choice."

Disappeared inexplicably?

Jiang Mengli was a little confused, "What do the missing people have in common?"

The passerby frowned and shook his head, saying, "I can't see any common characteristics. Men, women, young and old have all gone missing, but only sickly people like me are the safest."

"People with disabilities who are missing limbs are relatively safe, while those who are strong and healthy are more likely to go missing."

He Yu asked, "Then the government doesn't need to intervene? This is no small matter."

The passerby shook his head helplessly, "I can't do anything about it. It's not that I haven't tried to do anything about it, but the yamen runners or soldiers I took out would disappear. I have no power to do anything about it."

"The disappearance of these people is also very strange. There is no trace of blood, nor any signs of fighting. In short, they disappeared for no reason."

"As the saying goes, if a person is alive, they should see him; if he is dead, they should see his body. But we can't even find a body. Many people say it's haunted."

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, as if he was also afraid of disappearing.

There weren't even many vendors on the street, it was so deserted that it was a bit scary.

He Yu looked around and felt a chill down her spine. "Master, why don't we leave this place? It's too scary."

Jiang Mengli had the opposite idea. "It's especially important not to leave at times like this. I feel like this isn't a simple matter. I have to figure out what's going on."

"Let's find an inn first. Don't be alone. Stay with me at all times, even at night."

After arriving at an inn, she asked for a standard room with two beds so that they could prevent themselves from being separated.

He Yu was powerless, and it would be easy for something to go wrong if she lived alone in a room under such circumstances.

When He Yu found out that he was living in the same room with her, her cheeks turned red and she was secretly delighted.

I was thinking that if we were together like this day and night, maybe my master would fall in love with me.

The waiter came upstairs with hot water and kindly reminded them, "You are here, so you probably don't know the situation here. People go missing every day now."

"It's best not to go out at night. If you go out during the day, it's best to pretend to be disabled or sick, otherwise you'll be easily targeted."

Jiang Mengli nodded and thanked him, "These waiters, do you know where they tend to disappear?"

The waiter frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "There's no fixed location. According to official investigations, the disappearance location is different every day."

After saying that, he picked up the bucket and left the room.

Jiang Mengli stood in front of the window, lost in thought, thinking of a solution.

He Yu walked behind him and said, "Do you think it will be the same as in Puzhou City? They were captured and turned into some kind of medicine man."

"I heard that people kept disappearing in Puzhou City at first, and then they were directly arrested. They were as rampant as bandits."

This immediately reminded her.

It really looks a bit like the situation in Puzhou City.

Moreover, He Ying has successfully escaped and has not been caught despite the nationwide wanted list.

"Your suspicion may be correct." Jiang Mengli came back to his senses and smiled, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought about it in this way."

"We keep changing places to arrest people because we don't want to be discovered and prevent the authorities from taking action. If this matter is not controlled, the consequences will be disastrous."

Prince Yu's Mansion in Beijing.

Wen Mohan is silent all day long and looks cold to everyone.

He was looking at a letter at this moment, his expression becoming even more gloomy and cold. "People keep disappearing. Could it be the same as in Puzhou City?"

Yun Jian said solemnly, "His Majesty asked you to come to the palace to discuss this matter. He wants the master to personally lead people to investigate this matter."
