"What are you going to do?" Xiao Xia asked.

"I will first go to the nearby village to inquire about the bride who jumped into the river, and then ask if there have been any major events here or some strange people."

"You have to come back soon." Xiao Xia instructed.

She knew that she and Wan Li were sick and injured, and it would be fine if they could not help Ruan Zhan, and they would never increase his burden. But even though she thought of this, she shrank a little when she thought that Ruan Zhan was so far away.

Ruan Zhan understands Xiao Xia’s mood.

Even a bold woman would be afraid of letting her stay alone in the mountains with a coma, let alone Xiaoxia was so timid? But this was the case every time, forcing him to leave her.

"As long as you think of me hard in danger, I will definitely come back immediately." He promised her, "You said that you are not our burden, but our partner, so I believe you will protect Wanli. And I will protect you both."

……………………

Xiaoxia spent the whole day in a state of difficulty sleeping and eating.

In the past two days, she first experienced the attack on the wild shop, and then encountered another terrifying moment at dawn this morning, which made her extremely tired, but the current situation made her unable to sleep.

Even if she fell asleep in a daze, she was awakened again soon after. Sometimes it was the sound of unintentional wind, sometimes the song of birds in the mountains, sometimes the breathing of a little heavy for thousands of miles, and even the squeaking sound of the bamboo bed when she turned over would make her suddenly wake up. The last time it was simply the unusual quietness in the octagonal building.

During a shallow sleep, I suddenly feel that something is quiet, as if I am in a vacuum environment. If I walk out of my sleep, I will often feel extremely awake and feel a little scared.

Looking at Wanli beside him, he was still unconscious, just frowning, as if he was suffering from great pain. This made Xiao Xia unable to help but wipe his face again, but the black air still couldn't be wiped off, just like a heavy cloud floating on his face, and also pressing on Xiao Xia's heart.

Outside the window, it was already dark, and Ruan Zhan actually left for a whole day and didn't come back.

He hadn't slept for two days and a night, and had never eaten much. Unlike her, he had made some supplements. If this continues, Wanli can't save him, and he will be dragged down.

Xiao Xia thought worriedly, but she also understood that what they were going to investigate was too long and it might not be traced back to before liberation. They only rely on inferences and some clues, that is, there are no clues or literary and historical materials, and they cannot be discovered by people outside the matter. In this case, it is difficult to find out the truth of the matter.

But they have to find out the truth, because it is related to Wanli's life!

Not to mention that everything is just speculation, even if the gu people are really Huang Boheng, even if they have conclusive evidence, even if the police from all over the country come to help arrest him, if he dies in the mountains and forests and doesn’t come out, it’s not three or two days to catch him. But Wanli is not much time. After midnight today, he will only have twenty-four hours, and he won’t have time to wait!

Therefore, the mystery must be solved where the truth is closest to, so that the person behind the scenes will jump to the front desk in order not to reveal the secret, so that they will have the opportunity to compete with their opponents in a head-on manner and then destroy him.

Because the person who puts a poison is a dead Gu, if he doesn't die, he will not be able to survive! This is the rule he set, which blocks all the way to live, both for himself and for Wanli. In the end, only one person can live!

Xiao Xia thought about it for a few seconds and suddenly felt a little scared in the darkness, so she slowly sat upright with the squeaking sound of the bamboo bed.

Grasp Wanli's hand and look at his watch. The fluorescent watch needle is already pointing at 9:30. According to the habits of the mountains, people are already asleep at this time, but why haven't Ruan Zhan come back? Was he in danger or ran to the dense forest to search for that strange woman? Do you have to spend the night with Wanli who is unconscious in this lonely building alone?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xia's fear deepened a little further, and she felt a little hairy, and her palms were sweating.

"Don't scare yourself! I, Yue Xiaoxia and these two men, have experienced so many things, what else can I be afraid of!" She cursed herself inwardly, but after thinking about it, she decided to get out of bed and light a candle.

She was originally half lying on the outside of the bed, and there was a coma in the inner side of the bed. Although she sat up, she was still on the bamboo bed, so a little movement made the old bed moan, which looked particularly harsh in the dark bamboo building. Moreover, as soon as her feet touched the ground, a stinging pain immediately made her remember that her right foot was injured. Fortunately, the moonlight was very bright, allowing her to see the scenery in the room and limped to the table to find the lighting.

This octagonal building has three floors, each floor is a large room without partitions. The first floor is like a living place, and many old daily necessities are placed on several pieces of furniture in order to be placed in the middle, with tables, chairs, benches, etc.; the second floor is like a simple altar, with empty shrines on one side and many empty jars on the other side, which reminded Xiao Xia at that time when he was caught in the Gu on Wanli that day; the third floor, which is the top floor, is the bedroom where Xiao Xia and Wanli are.

This room gives people a relatively empty feeling, because there is very little furniture, only a large bamboo bed, a few bamboo chairs, a wardrobe, a basin rack and a dressing table. There is a large bronze mirror and a few dressing items on the table. It can be seen that there were women living here before.

Xiao Xia walked to the dressing table with difficulty, took out a lighter and lit the candle that Ruan Zhan found from the village. An instant warm fire flashed in front of her. Although the room was big and the flames were small, the light could not shine in the corner, but she had already calmed her down a little.

But as soon as she turned around, a cold wind blew out of the window, and the candle blew and was extinguished.

Xiao Xia felt a little "stool" in her heart, and she was frozen in the dark and dared not move.

When I didn’t light a candle just now, I could roughly see the outlines of the objects in the room with the moonlight. At this time, I turned from light to dark, and for a moment I saw it dark, and it took a while before I got used to it.

There is nothing missing in the room, but luckily nothing is not much!

It's the mountain wind! She said to herself.

The octagonal building is beautiful, and except for the door side, there are windows on the other three sides. It is said to be windows, but in fact, only a few thick bamboos are blocked vertically in the window frame, like iron railings. Here are all seasons, and there is a wide eaves on the roof. It should not be cold, nor will it rain when it rains, but it has no effect on the mountain wind.

Xiao Xia stood there for a while, and saw that there was no abnormal movement around him, so she lit the candle again.

She protected the fire with her hands, held her breathing, and moved very lightly and slowly, for fear that the faint flame would be extinguished by the wind caused by walking. Finally, she rubbed back to the edge of the bed little by little, but found that she did not come with a candle holder!

She had no choice but to rub it back, endured the pain in her ankle, and walked with great caution, and even the hot candle tears fell on her hands, and she did not dare to move.

The candlestick was next to the dressing box. Xiao Xia had just inserted the candle and saw a strange figure in the bronze mirror in a blink of an eye!

She was startled and almost threw away the candlestick. When she looked closely, she realized that the person in the mirror was herself!

But at this moment, she looked panicked, with a red mark on her face, and her hair on her forehead was distracted, covering her eyebrows and half of her eyes, making her face look full of shadows. She felt scared when she saw it, and she didn't want to take a second look.

So she wanted to hold the bronze mirror back on the table, but the bronze mirror actually had some weight. She pulled it without pulling it. With a little force, the bronze mirror fell over by itself.

At the same time, the candles went out again!

The sudden darkness hit again, making Xiao Xia at a loss.

What happened this time? Is it still a mountain wind? But when the candle was extinguished for the first time, she didn't feel the wind blowing. Could it be the wind brought about when the bronze mirror fell?

Although I felt that the explanation was too far-fetched, Xiaoxia chose to believe it and tried her best to control her slightly trembling hands and lit the candle for the third time.

With the candlelight, she shone around and found nothing, which made her breath of relief. She thought maybe this strange phenomenon caused by scaring herself, as long as she didn't think about it, there would be no problem. Once she heard Wanli say that from the so-called scientific point of view, the soul is an energy, and of course the same is true for human brain waves. If you think too much about ghosts, especially at night, it is equivalent to using brain waves to summon the spirits, and maybe something unclean will really come.

So - don't think, don't think, don't think!

She thought to herself, and walked back to the bed with great pleasure, then retracted into the bed, and pulled the curtain like a mosquito net again. Fortunately, the candle was not extinguished, and Wanli was still lying quietly, and she felt much safer.

Although Wan Li was in a coma and could not help her, if he was by his side, Xiao Xia still felt that he was not facing this unknown night alone, and the gauze tent could not block the wind, but it also had a psychological effect, not to mention that the Blood Wood Sword was lying quietly under the pillow, as if Ruan Zhan was also there.

We must do it - the heart is selfless and the world is wide! Also, I will never do bad things in my life and will not be shocked when I knock on the door in the middle of the night!

Xiao Xia was thinking in her heart, constantly doing various psychological construction for herself. However, before she finished reading, she heard the sound of the door of the bamboo building 'bang', as if someone knocked on the door.

This time, Xiao Xia was so shocked that she almost fell off the bed, and she felt that the gauze tent suddenly became bright. When she turned around, she saw that the flames of the candle doubled and were igniting straight, without even shaking at all!

Scream--the door on the first floor is open.

She could feel that this was not Ruan Zhan, because he never walked so much. He slowed down every step, tentatively, hesitated, and oppressed, as if he had one foot on a person's heart.

He went up to the second floor - and then the third floor - silent for a while - and suddenly a "bang" sound was pushed away!

There was no sign of people, but Xiaoxia felt something coming into the room. She was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe. Seeing the candlelight suddenly weakened again, gradually turning into a bean green, emitting a faint light.

The gauze tent in front of her moved for a moment and then began to float inward. Xiaoxia only felt a squirm of air conditioning, causing all the hairs on her body to stand up, and the candle was completely extinguished, and the surroundings immediately fell into pitch black.

Xiao Xia couldn't see anything clearly, and the moon seemed to be covered by dark clouds. In the extreme darkness, there was only a pair of dazzling white hands moving!

The hands were gestured in the air, not knowing what to do, and then slowly reached towards the gauze tent.

Xiao Xia shrank towards the corner of the bed, and in the silence, she heard her heart beating like thunder, and the slight "hiss" sound of her nails scratching the gauze curtain.

"Bride! Bride!" said a hoarse voice.

Xiao Xia gritted her teeth and said nothing. The white hands seemed to feel a gauze curtain blocking it, so she changed the move to push it away and then reached towards Xiao Xia without any obstacles!

"Bride! Bride!" he murmured, his tone creepy.

Xiao Xia didn't know what he meant, but when the pair of free hands were about to reach out to his face, he suddenly put the spell that had been grabbed in his hand from the moment he had just put on the hand.

The sharp screams that were not part of the world sounded. Xiaoxia covered her ears so uncomfortable that she bent over her chest and bent over to lie on Wanli's chest. The white hands were trembling in horror, grasping the bed frame tightly, causing the bamboo bed to shake violently, making a "squeak" sound like it was about to fall apart.

However, the suction from the door was too great. Although the free-handed struggled, it finally melted like a lit candle, and then became a white stain that was sucked into the closet that had been opened at some time.

In the wardrobe, a small metal flag with a light red light shook for a moment, and then returned to peace.

It was Ruan Zhan’s scattered banner. He hid it in the wardrobe by the door. He knew that Xiao Xia could not drive it, so he gave her the talisman and said that as long as he calmed down, he stuck the talisman on the evil thing or threw it over, the scattered banner could automatically generate a sense and suck the soul body in!

He said that he would throw the lamb to the door of the wolf's den without any protection!

"Excellent!" A sound came from some window, which made Xiao Xia, who was still in shock, almost stopped his heart. He glanced at several windows quickly, but saw nothing.

She was sweating coldly, knowing that this was the third floor and no one could speak outside the window.

"Who are you?" she asked tentatively, staring at the windows, "Why are you trying to get the most from Wanli?"

"If you want to get yours, you have to die!"

Xiao Xia looked in the sound quickly, and this time the thing he was talking was not hiding, so Xiao Xia could see clearly.

The reason why it is called something is because it is actually a flower floating outside the window. The flower is very big, but Xiaoxia has always been inseparable from grains. In addition, it is under the moonlight, so it is impossible to see what kind of flower it is. The petals of the flower are all spread outwards, revealing the flower center as big as a human face inside, and the flower heart also has facial features just like a human face.

My facial features are painted, but they move when they speak. At first glance, it seems like a person's head is peering outside the window.

Xiao Xia should have been afraid, but her attitude of swearing to death in angered her. So she once again overcame her fear, lifted her pillow, took out the bloody wooden sword, jumped out of the bed, endured the severe pain from her ankle, and stabbed her towards the window!

Her heart was so sad and angry that she actually exerted part of the power of the Blood Wood Sword. Before the sword arrived, the red light cut the flower face vertically. The flower face immediately broke into two halves from the middle, but it fell rapidly with a laugh.

"I won't let him die!" She shouted at the jungle downstairs!

"I'll give you my wish!" The voice rang out from another window again, and Xiao Xia slashed over again without thinking.

But before the flower fell to the ground, the last sound came from the last window, that is, the window on the side of the bed, "Look at the water basin, I will tell you how to save his life!"
Chapter completed!
