"It's very strange. No one can be seen coming in and out of this village, and no one cleans it during the day. I thought no one lived there..." Duan Mengan explained in a low voice.
"Just be careful. We are here to investigate the previous disappearance case. Let's see what happens tonight. Most of those people disappeared at night. I want to see what can make a master like Wu San disappear inexplicably." .” Lu Sheng held the handle of the knife in his hand, sat down quietly, and closed his eyes slightly.
Seeing the boss like this, the other two felt their hearts beat a little, but now they have calmed down a lot.
"With the young master here, there must be no problem." Duan Meng'an comforted himself, and at the same time told Ning San.
Ning San was a little apprehensive, but after hearing this, he calmed down a little.
Lu Shengduan sat on the bed, just like when he was at home, he adjusted his inner qi, closed his eyes and rested his mind. He is calm on the surface, but his five senses are always sensing the surrounding environment in case of accidents.
Duan Meng'an also rested on the surface, but in fact he stayed vigilant. Ning San also followed suit and found a seat for the two of them to sit down. The three of them did not separate the room, but just stayed in the same room so that they could take care of each other.
After a while, there was a slight commotion outside.
There seemed to be quite a few people coming in, most of them female voices.
"Little sister, where are your adults? Why don't you see them coming out?" A woman said in a crisp voice.
"My elder brother is making alchemy and he has no time to come out. You should keep your voice down and don't bring out the lamp, otherwise my elder brother will be angry, and he will be very scary when he is angry." Song Yunjuan warned in a low voice.
"Don't worry, we're just staying for one night. The mountain road is blocked by landslides. We can't come here again. We'll leave tomorrow morning." Another woman said softly.
"Thank you for your understanding." Song Yunjuan hummed, as if leading the new arrivals to their respective rooms.
Lu Sheng stood up, opened the door and looked outside, a group of men and women, holding torches, was walking towards the opposite room led by Song Yunjuan.
In this team, there are four girls, all of whom are young ladies. They are not from common people's families at first glance, and their appearance is about the same as the girls in the circle that Lu Sheng used to get along with. They are probably the children of wealthy families in a small country town. .
The four women also brought four guards, all of whom were strong men with swords, but by looking at their footsteps, Lu Sheng knew that they were just four strong men. Maybe I have learned a little basic knife skills, but my strength is limited.
The only place where Lu Sheng kept his gaze a little longer was one of the four women, a beautiful and lovely young girl with a beautiful appearance.
This girl's demeanor makes people very comfortable, like a gentle and harmless little white rabbit, which is lovable. It made Lu Sheng think of Qiaoer at home for a moment.
The three of them saw each other, and everyone in the other team also saw them.
Seeing the physique and temperament of the three of Lu Sheng, the four guards all showed fear, and one of them whispered a few words to his young lady. Immediately, the four ladies also looked towards Lu Sheng, but their expressions were a little weird.
It's not anxiety, but one of the girls with a gentle temperament is actually eager to try.
"My lord, that girl has a knife hidden in her sleeve." Ning San whispered. Pointing to the flag gentle girl.
"Oh? Can you see it?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the little one suffered a big loss before, and then I observed it for a long time and summed up some rules." This Ning San also knows how to summarize the rules. With such brains, it's no wonder that he can be mixed up to the level of a small boss in the Red Whale Gang.
"It should have been practiced a few times, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go out with just a few girls. If they are really in danger, even bringing guards is useless. Maybe some guards have evil intentions." Lu Sheng said lightly. He didn't notice the radiance in the eyes of the gentle girl. The spirit of the other party was obviously not from the inner family. Looking at her physique and steps carefully, it is unlikely that the outer master of the outer family would have such a light and slender body. shape.
"Don't worry about these people, it's another person." Lu Sheng looked at the person at the end of the team.
This is a young gentleman with a jade-like face and a confident demeanor. He is holding a white oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He is dressed in a robe as white as snow. Against the background of his black hair, he looks even more suave and suave, with a temperament like a dragon.
What made Lu Sheng a little concerned was that this young master was obviously different from the women in front of him, and his eyes were bright and energetic, obviously he had practiced inner martial arts.
"This person is from the Nei Family, so be careful." Lu Sheng mentioned something, and then went back to bed to rest.
But Duan Meng'an and Ning San looked at the young master carefully, kept it in their hearts, closed the door, and each found a place to rest.
call... .
The cold wind blew, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open.
Song Yunjuan coughed a few times, then turned her head and said to the handsome young man.
"Brother Li, I'll give you this room. Everything in it is complete, but it's a bit old. Please don't mind."
Mr. Li smiled, and said gently: "It's okay, it's good to have a place to live, it might rain tonight, little sister, you are willing to stay here, I am already grateful."
When he spoke, his voice was soft and pleasant, with a faint low-pitched magnetism, which made Song Yunjuan's face flush slightly, and she felt a little ashamed.
"Then...then I'll go first, you have a good rest."
Mr. Li smiled and responded.
"By the way, can I ask, did the three men who lived in the opposite room also come to stay tonight?"
Song Yunjuan nodded: "Yes, I only came to Zhuangzi before. It's so strange. Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?"
Mr. Li's eyes flashed brightly, he nodded with a smile, still as gentle as ever.
"Those three people don't look easy to mess with, some don't look like good people."
"Mr. Li, you feel the same way. I was a little scared before, but now that there are so many people here, I am not so scared." Song Yunjuan smiled slightly, "Then you should rest first, I will go to sleep too."
"Well, go ahead, you are still young, you should pay attention to your body." Mr. Li looked at Song Yunjuan, with a kindness flashing in his eyes.
"En." Song Yunjuan bounced around and left.
Mr. Li didn't turn around until he watched the other party enter the big room in the middle and close the door, then he turned around and entered the room, and closed the room.
"interesting."
In the darkness, he slowly took out the flint and lit the candlestick in the bedroom.
The yellow candle with a thick forearm lit up a faint yellow light, and then it was covered by a small lamp shade, and the light suddenly softened a lot.
Mr. Li heard the girls in the team next door chatting chirpingly. Can't help shaking his head slightly.
"There seems to be something wrong with this Zhuangzi. He doesn't let the lights go out. There is an older brother, but he lets his younger sister come out to entertain guests."
Li Shunxi felt slightly interested. He just came out to relax, and accidentally got stuck in a nearby road, so he came to stay overnight as a last resort, and he didn't expect to encounter such interesting things.
"There are also the three people on the opposite side. They are powerful and powerful. They are members of the gang at first glance, and they have the same mark on their cuffs. The light is too dim, but they can't see what gang they are. Judging from their expressions, it seems that there is something wrong with Zhuangzi ...should have come here specially."
Li Shunxi suddenly became more interested.
He was originally the young son of an official family, although on the surface he is the young master of the official family, but he himself has learned a few skills to exorcise ghosts and catch demons. In order to achieve extraordinary attainments, he went out secretly and solved several haunting incidents. Accumulated a lot of experience.
And all of this, the father, who is a high-ranking official, didn't even know that his youngest son had taught himself a good skill.
Li Shunxi also hides well on weekdays. She doesn't reveal her abilities at all, only occasionally sneaking away from home and dressing up before daring to show them off.
"It seems that this trip is not wrong." Li Shunxi was very interested. He sat at the table and began to take out his props from his waist pocket one by one, and wiped them for inspection.
... ... ... ... ... .
midnight.
Lu Sheng who was sitting on the bed opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Ning San who was walking to the door.
"What are you doing?"
"My lord, I'm going to a hut..." Ning San's expression was tangled, obviously a little scared.
"Tell Duan Meng'an to go with you." Lu Sheng said lightly. "Don't place orders."
Duan Meng'an was leaning on the chair to sleep, and his saliva was drooling.
Ning San had no choice but to push him to wake him up.
"What are you doing!? Courting death!?" Duan Meng'an was furious, feeling obviously uncomfortable being woken up. He opened a pair of sleepy eyes, and was about to lose his temper, when he suddenly saw Lu Sheng staring at his eyes, those eyes were full of radiance, which felt like needle pricks, and suddenly woke him up completely from sleepiness.
"You go to the latrine with him, don't leave alone." Lu Sheng ordered.
"Oh..." Duan Meng'an wiped his saliva and got up reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, Brother Duan." Ning San had no choice but to be glared at by Duan Mengan, and the two of them opened the door and went out together.
With a creak, the door closed.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes again.
After about a cup of tea, the door was slowly pushed open again.
squeak...
"Are you back?" Lu Sheng said indifferently, "Take a rest quickly, I will guard for the time being."
No one answered.
Lu Sheng opened his eyes, and saw that the door was open, and the cold wind was blowing in, but no one was there. It seemed that the door was blown open by the wind.
He frowned, got up and walked to the door, closing the door gently.
"Why haven't these two come back?"
Just as the door was closed, suddenly the door seemed to be blocked by something, and it was pushed from the outside. Lu Sheng clearly felt that someone was pushing against the door, preventing him from opening it.
His face darkened, he suddenly pushed open the door, and rushed out all at once.
Chi!
The straight knife at his waist was half out of its sheath before he saw that there was no one outside the door.
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Lu Sheng looked around and saw that it was empty, and he didn't find anything, so he returned to the room.
Just as he was about to sit down again, Lu Sheng felt that the two had been away for a long time, and after the scene just now, he was a little worried.
"Let's go out and look for it."
He carried a candlestick, and the candles covered with lampshades could at least keep out the wind, and opened the door again with the candlestick.
call.
The wind outside the door was unexpectedly strong, blowing out the candle in Lu Sheng's hand at once.
The room suddenly became dark, pitch black, only the faint light of the moon outside.
Lu Sheng quickly took out the flint and steel, and tried a few more times, but they were blown out by the wind as soon as they were lit. In desperation, he had no choice but to put down the candlestick, just walked out of the room, and walked towards the hut.
In the dark courtyard, there were no lights anywhere, and I didn't know if everyone else was asleep or what. Not a single voice.
Lu Sheng walked out slowly along the corridor. The direction of the hut is usually in the backyard of the house.
He walked out of the corridor, into the yard, around the entire side of the bedroom, and walked to the back yard.
