Yan Kai opened his mouth and didn't understand what was going on at all.
"Brother Yan Kai." Rong Rong also squeezed in from the door at this time. "What's going on here?" She looked at the scene in front of her with a puzzled expression.
The heavy rain was getting heavier and louder, and the thunder was getting louder and louder. Everyone had no choice but to go into the main hall to avoid the rain.
The main hall was dilapidated, with cobweb stains everywhere on the walls, and the only thing in the middle that was intact was a few tables and chairs.
The scar-faced man sat down on the chair, reached out and grabbed the thick branches, and fiddled with the bonfire on the ground.
"Someone just came here and encountered such bad weather. He originally planned to go to a city not far away to find my elder brother. Looking at it now, I'm afraid it will be delayed until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
The three of Chen Ziguang didn't speak, and it's common sense not to reveal the truth casually when they are out of the house. Although they didn't know it, they basically exposed their identities just by the outfit they were wearing.
"So you also came in to shelter from the rain?" Yan Kai was stunned.
"What does that brother think?" the scar-faced man looked puzzled.
"I don't want to talk about it, it's fine if I don't talk about it." Yan Kai guessed that he might have been confused by something before.
He looked at Duan Rongrong and senior brother Wan Hezi, both of them were normal, no different from usual.
"Speaking of which, the fog was so thick just now"
"The fog was really heavy just now." The scar-faced man also nodded, "But it dissipated all of a sudden, which is a bit weird. This is a wild country, everyone should have more refreshments."
"Yes, brother is right." Chen Ziguang nodded in agreement.
click.
A flash of thunder flashed across, illuminating the outside of the house in white.
A group of people baked clothes around the fire and chatted by the way.
It was only then that Yan Kai found out that the man with the scarred face was named Sun Zhankuang, he came from other places to join his elder brother, and according to him, he was a member of the Giant Eagle Sect.
And those two scholars, with a book boy, were heading to the nearby prefectural city to catch up with the exam.
The fire was warm, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning flashed outside, and the temperature dropped rapidly. The northern land was close to the frozen ocean, so the temperature was already extremely low, and it was even colder in autumn and winter. If there is no fire, a night of freezing can take half the life of a strong man.
"This room is quite big, and there are three private rooms connected to each other. I will occupy one private room first, and you will arrange the rest by yourself. It's getting late, so I'll go to bed first."
After chatting wildly, the scar-faced man Sun Zhankuang yawned and got up.
"Brother Sun, please go ahead, the three rooms are just allocated to us three groups of people." Chen Ziguang and Sun Chankuang chatted happily, and quickly got up and clasped their fists.
"You're welcome. When you're away from home, you should help each other?" Sun Zhen laughed wildly.
"It's getting late, so let's go to rest." Xu Pei also stood up and said.
"Alright, then let's rest too." Yan Kai got up and smiled.
He gave Duan Rongrong and Wan Hezi a look. The two also got up, and the three groups of people entered the three single rooms on the side of the stone house.
"Let's have a rest tonight, the bed board is useless, it can only be used to touch the ground." Yan Kai wanted to ask about the two people's previous situation, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't say anything.
"Brother Yan Kai, I saw a person exactly like you in the fog before, running towards the depths of the village, if I hadn't heard your voice in the yard, I might have been led away by that person It's gone." Duan Rongrong suddenly whispered.
Yan Kai's eyes flashed and he nodded. "Be careful, observe first, then make a decision, don't be impatient."
"Junior brother, you should go back early tomorrow morning. I caused this matter alone, so I should settle it alone." Wan Hezi understood clearly.
"Senior brother, don't say these things." Yan Kai shook his head. "Be careful, there are some weird things here, don't rush to make a decision if you keep yourself in advance and see other things."
"Well, I know." Wan Hezi nodded.
The three of them had their own concerns, so they found a corner to lean against and rest.
Qingcha Town.
Lu Sheng came out of his bedroom early in the morning, and stood in the courtyard before dawn, quietly watching the sky for lightning and thunder.
The little umbrella girl jumped out from a corner of the yard, looked at Lu Sheng timidly, then walked to the well in the middle of the yard, and began to fetch water with a bucket little by little with her little hands.
The creaking sound of the rotating shaft continued to sound.
"It's Yingying. You also woke up very early." Lu Sheng could tell which state Umbrella Girl was in without turning around.
"Don't sleep." The little umbrella girl replied in a low voice.
Lu Sheng laughed.
"Yes, I forgot."
He looked at the forest in the distance, which was the direction where the village stood.
"Do you know that village? Speaking of which, you should be older than Hongfang Bai, and you haven't heard any news about that village?"
"I'm sorry." Sakura bowed her head and apologized.
"It's okay, I just asked casually." Lu Sheng smiled, "I don't just enter that place casually, I need to find out what is there, what can I get, why did Chaolong run so Come far."
"" Yingying didn't understand Lu Sheng's thoughts. In her opinion, no matter how strong she was, how could that place be compared with her sister's heyday
Lu Sheng even defeated Quan Sheng's elder sister, so there is no need to be afraid of anything in this land.
"It's fine if you don't understand." Lu Sheng shook his head, his identity is sensitive, he must try his best to improve himself. Only when one's own strength reaches the point where no one can match and no one can threaten. You don't have to worry about the troubles of the aristocratic monsters and so on.
After all, his power is enough to overthrow the world ruling system.
Before that, meaningless actions and outbursts are dangerous. Every time one more shot is made, it is easy to be seen through.
Yingying went back after fetching water, Lu Sheng stood in the yard for a while, then walked towards the study.
In the study, Dong Qi, the tea gang, was already waiting there.
"Leader Qi, Master Buxiao has appeared again! Another person disappeared mysteriously last night. Judging from the traces left behind, it should be Master Buxiao."
"Oh?" Lu Sheng suddenly became interested, "How did that person disappear?"
Dong Qi lowered her head and said solemnly: "In his own home, family members said that they suddenly heard a scream in the middle of the night, got up and looked around, and found that the person had disappeared. This is the sixteenth murder case in the town so far."
"This case, even the only survivor died, is very tricky." Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slowly.
"People in the town are panicking now, and they don't know what to do next." Dong Qi looked at Lu Sheng with a hint of hope, hoping that he could come up with a solution.
"Aren't you in a hurry to Chaolong?" Lu Sheng asked with a smile.
"I didn't find his whereabouts, and Yan Kai and the other three are also missing. It's very strange." Dong Qi was puzzled.
"Clan leader!" Dong Qi didn't finish speaking, but Xu Chui rushed in in one breath, with a scorched face hastily.
"Someone from the gang is also missing!" His first words made both Lu Sheng and Dong Qi's expressions change slightly.
"It's coming soon." A cold light flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes. But still no action. "Stand still, you take people out first to avoid it."
"Yes!" Xu Chui responded immediately.
The Red Whale Gang didn't move, and some members of the gang disappeared as if nothing happened, but under Xu Chui's leadership, most of them slowly evacuated from Qingcha Town and headed towards Huanpei City.
Day by day passed.
Qingcha Town has regained its calm, and it seems that the legend of the master who doesn't laugh has disappeared.
But Lu Sheng understood that it wasn't disappearing, it was just lurking.
Click!
Lightning and thunder.
Dong Qi slowly got up from the bed. She was woken up by a urge to urinate. In the middle of the night, the wind and rain outside made a loud noise, and the sound of thunder seemed like someone was playing drums outside the door.
click.
The window suddenly turned into a gloomy blue.
whirring
She took a few breaths slowly, rolled over from the bed, and put on her shoes.
Gently open the door, Dong Qi needs to go through the living room of the house to go to the hut. At night, the wall lamps and lanterns that were originally lit were also extinguished due to the strong wind.
She stood at the door and tugged at her collar, feeling a little chilly.
"Hurry up and come back." She thought to herself.
After leaving the bedroom, she hurried into the living room, then walked towards the latrine.
Suddenly she unexpectedly discovered that the lantern in the living room was actually on.
Bursts of dim light dimmed the entire main living room.
creak.
Dong Qi slowly closed the door of the bedroom behind her, scanning the living room one by one with her gaze.
"It's so late, did the servant forget to blow out the lantern?" She thought about it.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a person sitting quietly on the table and chair facing the door in the living room.
A tall, slightly fat, middle-aged man with a straight back.
Because of the dim light, Dong Qi was far away, and she couldn't see who that person was.
Suddenly, from a distance, she saw the man stiffly turning his head slowly and looking at herself.
From a distance, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but in a blur, she seemed to be able to see that the man's eyes were very dark, like two holes.
"Who? Who's there?" Dong Qi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't remember knowing a man of such a stature.
With his right hand, he quickly pulled out the dagger from the pajamas behind him.
"Tell me a joke." Suddenly a voice came from the man.
"!!??"
Don't laugh at the master?
Dong Qi's body stiffened suddenly, and the voice did not come from the front at all.
She turned her head slowly, and saw the wooden door of the bedroom that she had just come out of. She didn't know when it had been opened.
A man with the same appearance was standing at the door. This time the distance was closer, and she finally saw clearly what was going on with the darkness in the man's eyes.
Those are basically two black holes, there are no eyeballs in the eye sockets, nothing, just two blood holes, the black ones can see the holes in the body.
Dong Qi trembled all over, and almost couldn't hold the dagger tightly in his hand. Her face was pale, her whole body was cold, and the sweat on her body quickly wetted her underwear.
Take two steps back slowly.
ah! !
With a sudden scream, she turned sharply and ran towards the door.
Outside the door, in the middle of the courtyard.
Lu Sheng slowly held the knife stuck in the ground and stood up. He looked at the tall figure slowly approaching behind him.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Chaolong"
The person behind him paused slightly.
