This old man looks like he has a slovenly beard, but his martial arts skills will definitely not be lower than those on the "Tianbang" list.

Could it be that Dongchang is finally going to take action against him?

Just when Zhao Xu was lost in thought, Li Qingqing touched him lightly and asked, "What are you looking at? Your eyes are straight."

"I didn't see anything!" Zhao Xu came back to his senses.

He did not tell his wife Li Qingqing what he saw, so as not to cause Li Qingqing to worry.

In Zhao Xu's view, even if this person is a master on the "Tian Ranking", his martial arts skills cannot be higher than Yang Xing's. The main concern is, will this old man have an accomplice?

Zhao Xu wanted to take the opportunity of looking for Ding Liguo to test this man's reaction.

Zhao Xu turned his attention to the dean and said, "Dean, let's look for Ding Liguo together."

"Okay! I'll call someone right now."

After the director left, after a while, he came out with several staff members from the hospital.

There were two Wuling Hongguang cars in Yancheng Psychiatric Hospital, plus the car driven by Zhao Xu. The cars were divided into three directions and searched aimlessly in Yancheng.

From morning to night, we searched and found no trace of Ding Liguo.

It was as if this person had disappeared from the world.

Zhao Xu made a special trip to the police station and asked about the case.

The police said that Ding Liguo had not been seen leaving Yancheng and was probably still in the city.

The urban area of ​​Yancheng is only so large. It stands to reason that the search has been carried out for three days, almost including a blanket investigation. In desperation, Zhao Xu suggested that the director of Yancheng Mental Hospital publish a missing person search report on TV stations and major media.

Enlightenment.

He was afraid that Ding Liguo would go into hiding in various counties, districts and rural areas under the jurisdiction of Yancheng.

Those places are vast and sparsely populated, so it's really not easy to find someone.

After waiting all night in Yancheng, what surprised Zhao Xu was that the old man with a scruffy beard did not visit them again.

Logically speaking, if someone was sent by Dongchang, they would definitely keep an eye on him.

This puzzled Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu planned to stay in Yancheng for three days, and if he still couldn't find Ding Liguo, he would give up the search. After all, the matter of martial arts secrets was a matter of fate, but there were still important things waiting for him to do in the provincial capital.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the second day in Yancheng, the director of the mental hospital called Zhanying and said that Ding Liguo had been found.

Zhanying immediately told Zhao Xu the news.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he said excitedly: "Great! Let's rush to Yancheng Mental Hospital."

So, the four of them hurriedly drove to Yancheng Mental Hospital again, driven by Zhao Xu himself.

After meeting the dean, the dean said to Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, our missing person notice has been effective. Someone called today and said that Ding Liguo was seen in Bai County."

"Then let's go to Bai County quickly!" Zhao Xu said.

The dean took several staff members in one car, plus Zhao Xu's car, a total of two cars, and hurried to Bai County.

After meeting the client, the client vowed: "I met this person in Daoxia Village the day before yesterday."

"Daoxia Village? Brother, can you take us there?"

The person who reported the news looked embarrassed and said, "I'm going to play cards with my friends. I don't have time to take you there, so go on your own!"

The dean said: "Forget it! Daoxia Village is not far from here. I know where it is. Let's go find it ourselves! Thank you, sir."

So, Zhao Xu and others drove to "Daoxia Village" again.

At this season, rice seedlings have been planted in the fields, and the young corn seedlings are already about one foot high. Together with the green weeds, it is a bright green to the eye.

"Daoxia Village" is a place that mainly grows rice. There are only two to three hundred households in the village.

I asked the residents living in "Daoxia Village" and found out that some people had indeed seen Ding Liguo.

Seeing that someone had actually seen it greatly boosted Zhao Xu's confidence.

But there is no such person as Ding Liguo in this village!

Either Ding Liguo has left "Daoxia Village" or he has gone to the mountains. Otherwise, he would be easily seen in the wild.

At this time, a farmer who came down from the mountain came down and greeted the family where Zhao Xu was talking: "Old Tian, ​​are there guests at home?"

"Oh, no! They are people from the Rock City Mental Hospital. There is a mental patient who ran away from the mental hospital. By the way, he is the person who spent the night under the bridge the day before yesterday."

"Is that man mentally ill? No wonder he looks like a beggar. I just saw him on the mountain, digging wild vegetables to eat."

"On the mountain?"

Zhao Xu and the director of the mental hospital looked at each other.

Zhao Xu told Luo Ning: "Luo Ning, you accompany Qingqing to rest in this house first. Zhanying, please take me to the mountain. Big brother, please take us to the mountain to look for that mentally ill person.

Okay?"

The people in the village were still quite hospitable and replied: "Okay! Although our mountain is not big, it is easy to get lost without us taking you."

The group of people hurried up the mountain again.

The person who led the way was familiar with the road and took Zhao Xu and others to the place where Ding Liguo dug wild vegetables.

The man pointed in the distance and said, "Hey! That person is right there. Hey, why is there another person?"

In the scene, an old man who looked like a monk was being held hostage with a knife.

The person who held the old man hostage was none other than the slovenly old man with a beard whom he met at Yancheng Psychiatric Hospital.

Zhao Xu didn't care about shocking the world anymore, he jumped up and flew towards where Ding Liguo and the old man were standing.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xu ran tens of meters away. The director of Yancheng Mental Hospital and the farmer who led the way were stunned.

The dean said: "Let's go! Let's go over and have a look." He led everyone and hurried over.

Zhao Xu saw a monk there, it was Ding Liguo who had lost his way from the mental hospital. The old man with a slovenly beard held a kitchen knife against Ding Liguo's neck.

Ding Liguo was deprived of his martial arts skills in the Shaolin "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion" and had no power to resist. As long as the old man with a slovenly beard moved the knife in his hand forward, Ding Liguo would immediately go to see the King of Hell.

"Let him go! You can't escape." Zhao Xu warned the old man with a slovenly beard holding a kitchen knife.

What makes Zhao Xu feel strange is that logically speaking, if this old man with a slovenly beard was sent by Dongchang, he should take action against him. Why would he bother a person who came out of a mental hospital?

The old man with a slovenly beard glared at Zhao Xu and said angrily: "Boy! I've long seen that your kung fu is very good. This is a personal grudge between me and Ding Liguo. You'd better mind your own business."

"Personal grudge?" When Zhao Xu heard this, he understood what was going on.

It turns out that this old man with a slovenly beard sneaked into the mental hospital to find Ding Liguo. And Ding Liguo disappeared from the mental hospital to avoid his enemies.

Zhao Xu thought he was someone sent by Dongchang to deal with him.

It turned out to be a mistake!
