In the courtyard at night, the wind was very strong, and the dead leaves on the ground rustled.
Lu Sheng looked left and right, but found no one, so he slowly quickened his pace, bypassed the bedroom, and arrived at the backyard. The hut is built separately in the backyard, two independent thatched huts.
When Lu Sheng walked over, he unexpectedly saw a figure standing outside the hut. This person seemed to have also seen him coming, and his body obviously tensed up.
"who?!"
Lu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and when he got closer, he realized that it was actually the handsome young man who was a good insider from before.
The man was holding a dagger, and his eyes were shining, obviously this man was on alert.
"Brother, you also came out to find the missing person?" Li Shunxi asked in a deep voice. He also recognized Lu Sheng.
"The missing person?" Lu Sheng squinted his eyes, feeling a little bad in his heart.
"What? Brother, don't you know?" Li Shunxi was taken aback.
"My two brothers went out to the latrine, and they haven't returned after a while, so I don't worry, so come out and have a look." Lu Sheng simply explained.
Li Shunxi's complexion changed slightly: "So, there are two more missing people."
"Brother, what do you mean?" Lu Sheng took a few steps forward and looked into the hut, the wooden door was open, the stench inside was unbearable, there was no one in the small space, it was empty.
Lu Sheng's complexion changed a bit.
"You mean, so many people before, those women and guards who lived in together...."
"Not one left, all are missing." Li Shunxi whispered. "There are so many people, maybe they are trapped somewhere."
"Let's look for it, this Zhuangzi is so big, maybe we can find some clues." Lu Sheng suggested. He licked his lips, his heart was a little angry, and he had lost two people before meeting the Lord.
Li Shunxi nodded, and the two joined together and walked around the backyard. Soon I found the kitchen in the corner.
Li Shunxi was the first to push the door open with a dagger in hand.
The wooden door opened silently, revealing the dusty kitchen room inside.
The overturned cauldron, the broken porcelain bowls, and the stove covered with cobwebs. In the corner of the ground, there were still some moldy, dry and black meals spilled on the ground.
"How long has it been since you opened this kitchen?" Li Shunxi frowned. He glanced at Lu Sheng and found that the other party didn't show much panic. Obviously, this was not the first time he had encountered such a strange incident.
"Brother, have you encountered ghosts before?" He asked casually.
Lu Sheng was a little surprised, this rich young man actually looked very experienced.
"Yes, I have experienced such strange things before."
"No wonder." Li Shunxi took another look at Lu Sheng, "In my opinion, the missing people should be trapped for the time being, so many people, no matter how fast they are, they won't be solved all at once. It was also checked and there was no trace of any toxins."
"Brother, are you sure?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"It's pretty close." Li Shunxi said seriously, he squatted down and began to carefully examine the footprints and traces on the ground.
Lu Sheng didn't know why, so he followed him all the way, and soon came to the entrance where the kitchen cellar was.
"My surname is Li, and my name is Shunxi. What do you call Xiongtai?" Li Shunxi grabbed the ring of the stone slab in the cellar and lifted it up.
puff.
A foul smell gushed out.
"The surname is Lu, the name is Sheng, and the word is Yuesheng." Lu Sheng answered briefly.
The two waited for the stench to dissipate, then looked into the cellar.
Lu Sheng took out the flint and sharpened it a few times, yellow sparks splashed away, and through the short fire, both of them saw a few figures lying on their backs in the cellar.
"It really is here!" Li Shunxi exhaled. Jump down quickly, "Brother Lu, help me guard the entrance."
"Okay." Lu Sheng also saw the few people lying inside, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Duan Meng'an was impressively among them, along with two other women and two guards. They all seemed to have passed out and were lying in a coma.
One by one in each hand, Li Shunxi quickly lifted them up one by one, and Lu Sheng caught them and put them on the kitchen floor.
Soon the two brought up all the five people who had passed out in the cellar.
"They all breathe." Li Shunxi sniffed the breath of one of the women. "I don't know if brother can see what they have committed?"
He looked up at Lu Sheng, seeing that his face remained unchanged and his eyes were calm, and he knew that Lu Sheng was not easy.
"Brother Li has a solution?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"Of course there is a way, look at my hands." Li Shunxi showed a slight color, and reached out to pull out a piece of black leather paper. He bit his index finger and stained it with his own blood.
Then press this thing on the forehead of the unconscious person one by one.
Lu Sheng watched quietly, without making a sound or moving.
After a while, the people lying on the ground slowly woke up one by one.
"Where am I?"
"Qingqing, are you okay?"
"Miss! Are you not hurt?"
"Young master!" Duan Mengan walked up to Lu Sheng with a face full of shame, bowing his head.
"It's good that people are fine. Where's Ning San?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"..." Duan Mengan lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Sheng's face.
Lu Sheng's face was calm, but his eyes became more and more gloomy.
"Let's go back first."
"I don't think it's appropriate for us to separate now." Li Shunxi suggested.
"Thank you for saving me, Gong Ruqing, this is my sister Gong Rumeng. If it wasn't for the two of you, this time, it would have been a disaster." Among the rescued women, there was the gentle temperament of hiding a sword in her sleeve before. woman.
And her younger sister is that lovely woman like Qiaoer.
"Thank you two sons for saving us. But we still have companions stuck here, can you please help us find the rest of our companions." Gong Rumeng, Gong Ruqing's younger sister, pleaded. "We know that this request is a bit excessive, but as a reward, we are willing to offer one hundred taels of gold and silver notes."
"Oh?" Li Shunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Lu Sheng. Among the people present, only Lu Sheng made him unable to see through. Judging from his appearance, he should be a son of a rich family. Li Shunxi guessed that he should be in the same situation as himself. He hides his identity on the surface, but he is actually a person with extraordinary skills.
As the son of a rich family, it is not so easy to change many details of clothes and behaviors. Li Shunxi's observation skills are extremely careful, and he has long noticed the difference between Lu Sheng and the two people around him.
On weekdays, he has been locked in the mansion, because there are too many competitors, and he has to hide his strength as a trump card, so he has never had the opportunity to communicate with the outside world, and he does not know what level he is.
Now I meet a peer who seems to be similar to me, who is still the same young man who hides his identity, and who has the same superb skills but hides his secrets.
This made him feel like he was scratching his boots, and wanted to seriously make gestures and communicate with the other party.
"Brother Lu, what do you think? Do you want to help?" Li Shunxi asked Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng's face was gloomy. This Li Shunxi did have some tricks, so he took an extra look at him.
"Can."
He was here to investigate the details of the Zhuangzi, but now he didn't expect to find out the details, but he lost one of his subordinates, which made him feel a little depressed. Naturally, he will not leave easily.
"Okay, I agree." Li Shunxi smiled, "Let's go, since you were arrested from the bedroom to the cellar. There must be traces of hands in the original bedroom, let's go back and have a look.
Of course, the most critical premise is that we have to find that little girl first. She is one of the masters of this Zhuangzi, and I heard that there is also a big brother who is alchemy. "
"That's right! It must be some little girl's fault! And her elder brother must be a villain too! If you see anyone, arrest them first!" Duan Meng'an yelled loudly.
"Shut up!" Lu Sheng glared at him.
Duan Meng'an shrank all over and dared not speak.
A group of people agreed with Li Shunxi's proposal, and quickly swarmed towards the middle room in the courtyard.
There was no one in the dark courtyard, and a group of people walked to the door of the master bedroom noisy.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of vigorous knocking on the door spread, and the dust on the door frame fell down, and was immediately blown away by the wind, making it a bit choking.
"Open the door!"
Bang, bang, bang, a few more knocks.
creak.
The door opened by itself.
Li Shunxi looked at the two guards who were a little scared, and was the first to walk into the room.
Lu Sheng walked in second, and the rest hurried in.
"Is anyone there?" Li Shunxi held something in his hand and hid it in his sleeve. shouted.
There is a large alchemy stove on the left side of the room, and the dusty and worn-out tables, chairs and beds are on the right side. Limin was empty, and there was a cold feeling.
Gong Ruqing was bolder, walked to the bed and opened the curtain.
puff!
Suddenly a group of black shadows swooped out.
"Go!" Li Shunxi raised his hand, and hit the black shadow with precision.
The black shadow suddenly let out a scream, let out a baby-like scream, and fell to the ground, it was a black bat the size of a fist.
Gong Ruqing was taken aback, seeing that the corner of the bat's mouth was still red with blood. Take a few steps back again and again.
"How can there be bats in this place??"
"This is a bat, hehe, you can't grow this thing in ordinary places." Li Shunxi showed a slight look of color, and glanced at Lu Sheng.
Seeing that Lu Sheng's face was still gloomy, without any expression of emotion or surprise, he was a little disappointed.
"Brother Lu, what's your opinion?" He asked.
Lu Sheng glanced at him, and said calmly: "No, Brother Li's skills are brilliant, and Lu admires them. However, it's better for us to find the other missing people as soon as possible. I'm afraid the little girl and her eldest brother will not be found for a while. "
Li Shunxi squinted at Lu Sheng, guessing that the other party seemed to have discovered something. But he didn't ask either. "Then let's go, since the Yin Bat has come out, it must not be far away."
The group of people couldn't find anyone, so they left the master bedroom and searched the other rooms one by one.
During the process, Li Shunxi killed another five bats in succession, one of them was too fast and bit a guard's neck hard, almost killing him directly.
If Li Shunxi hadn't acted fast enough, the guard would have lost his life. Now, everyone, including Gong Ruqing and Gong Rumeng, admired and relied on Li Shunxi even more. Especially the favor of the two beautiful girls made Li Shunxi even more proud.
He also looked at Lu Sheng frequently. But seeing that he still didn't respond, it just seemed that because he couldn't find anyone, his face became more dignified.
