Well of Mystery

Temporarily putting aside their plan to go all the way north and secretly survey the sulfur mines, Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi accompanied the depressed Huang Xiuqi for a while.

I don't know if it's really in a bad mood, or if it's an excuse to narrow the distance with Jiang Chenglu. In short, Huang Xiuqi has been dragging him and chattering along the way, leaving Bai Xiuqi behind in the cold.

No one was paying attention, and Bai Xiuqi was also happy, and slowed down alone, hiding behind and scratching the mosquito bag on his body.

After passing the big soup pot on Rose Fire Island, Jiang Chenglu suddenly stopped and looked back at Bai Xiuqi.

"Xiaobai was bitten by mosquitoes, did you bring mosquito repellent?"

"Mosquito repellant? Who wants to use that kind of chemical potion!"

Huang Xiuqi shook her head, and then she raised her arm.

It was only then that Bai Xiuqi noticed that there was a straw bracelet hanging on her wrist, a few small heart-shaped opposite leaves, dotted with four or five round umbrella-shaped flowers.Looking carefully, each flower is surrounded by eleven or twelve small orange-yellow flowers, and in the center is a red or purple bud. It is obvious that the whole flower has not fully opened yet, but the overall appearance is very beautiful.

"This is a special plant on the island. We call it the nine-color flower. It has a special fragrance that bugs hate."

As she said that, she picked a flower and handed it to Bai Xiuqi: "Crush the flower with your hands, then apply it on the place where the bugs have bitten it, and it will stop itching after a few minutes."

Bai Xiuqi said "thank you", took the flowers half-believingly and rubbed them open in the palm of his hand.A strong plant aroma hits the nostrils.He rubbed the broken flower on his skin, leaving a yellowish mark, but other than that, there didn't seem to be much change.

"Hey, you were bitten pretty badly, forget it, I'll give it all to you."

Huang Xiuqi is not a stingy person, so she simply took off the whole bracelet and gave it to Bai Xiuqi.Bai Xiuqi hurriedly asked what should you do, Huang Xiuqi smiled and said that she knew a place where nine-color flowers were everywhere, and she just went to pick some later.

In this case, Bai Xiuqi didn't refuse any more, and concentrated on rubbing the petals and leaves to smear on her body.

Before they knew it, the three of them had already reached the entrance of the hotel halfway up the mountain.Knowing that Huang Xiuqi's target was not her, Bai Xiuqi casually made an excuse and said that she had to go back to the inn first, and asked Jiang Chenglu to accompany the girl to continue walking.

Although Jiang Chenglu was not very willing, but it was not easy to refuse in front of Huang Xiuqi, so he bit the bullet and took on this somewhat delicate task.After getting away, Bai Xiuqi just ran back to the hotel and told Shang Douxing what Huayin said.

Shang Daxiong's anger has almost dissipated, and he didn't say anything after hearing these words.Bai Xiuqi never knew how to get along with him, touched his nose and turned to say goodbye, went back to his room to wipe himself off, fell asleep on the bed.

About two or three hours later, he was falling asleep when he heard a series of footsteps walking in.

Is Jiang Chenglu back?

Bai Xiuqi didn't want to open her eyes.According to Jiang Chenglu's habit, the first thing to do after returning home is to wash his hands, take advantage of these few minutes to squint quickly, maybe he won't have time to sleep later.

Thinking of this, he continued to lie motionless on the bed and pretended to be dead, but the expected sound of water did not sound.

Something seems amiss—

When thinking this way, Bai Xiuqi suddenly came to his senses, he only heard footsteps, but why there was no sound of opening the door, where did people come in from?

Under the stress, his brain suddenly woke up, and he opened his eyes suddenly, facing a pair of legs standing on the edge of the bed.

Bai Xiuqi was startled suddenly, looked up along her legs, and it was indeed not Jiang Chenglu that she saw.

"How did you come in!" He immediately got up and looked at the man in front of him warily.

Jian Tong didn't speak, just pointed to the window leading to the balcony.Because the room was stuffy, Bai Xiuqi opened the floor-to-ceiling windows before taking a nap, and Jian Tong apparently climbed up from there.

But would a normal person break into someone else's room so casually?

The answer is undoubtedly no.Bai Xiuqi stared at the man in front of him, waiting for his explanation.

Sure enough, Jian Tong looked down at him and said in a low voice, "This island is very dangerous, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

"I know." Bai Xiuqi nodded, sat up suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Jian Tong's arm: "I was not dreaming yesterday, you did indeed talk to me, what is this, you know illusion?"

"It's just a little medicine powder given by Wei Lu." Jian Tong didn't intend to hide it: "It doesn't have any effect on the human body."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and looked at Bai Xiuqi with concern again: "But it is obvious that you have a lot of problems with your body. It seems that your purpose of going to the island should not be just to treat the so-called skin disease. "

"I don't think I need to tell you." Bai Xiuqi refused politely, "I have never liked to accept kindness from strangers."

"We are not strangers." Jian Tong sighed, and suddenly threw out explosive words: "I once liked you."

"..."

Bai Xiuqi really didn't think of this sentence, and was stunned for several seconds before forcing a smile: "That's really thankful, the last person who said he liked me almost killed me."

"But I will never harm you," Jian Tong shook his head: "You have to know that back then..."

"enough."

Bai Xiuqi interrupted him in a voice: "Didn't you say yesterday that a person can't bear too much memory? Why are you taking the initiative to tell me the past now? Besides, apart from the past between me and Jiang Chenglu Besides, I am not interested in all the past. If you just want to come over to catch up on the past, unfortunately, I am not in the mood."

"..." Now it was Jian Tong's turn to be silent, and he let out a wry smile after a long time: "It's easy to change your nature, but your temper still looks the same."

"Really? I think I have changed a lot." Bai Xiuqi smiled, "According to what you said, it seems that I have never liked you before, right?"

"...Yes." Jian Tong nodded bluntly, and then abruptly lifted the hem of his jacket.

In all fairness, Jian Tong's figure is really pretty good, with her abdominal muscles looming under her honey-colored skin, which is enough to make many people of the same sex envy and hate.

But in connection with what he said not long ago, Bai Xiuqi couldn't envy her anymore.

"……what are you doing?"

Jian Tong didn't speak, but pointed to his side abdomen: "You stabbed it."

Bai Xiuqi just discovered that there was a three-inch long wound on his waist, which had already healed, leaving a white mark.

"I don't remember." Bai Xiuqi looked up at Jian Tong honestly and confidently: "But I don't think I'm the kind of person who likes to stab people casually."

This sentence obviously hit the point again, Jian Tong was silent for a moment, and changed the topic abruptly.

"In short, this island is very dangerous. If you have nothing important to do, don't stay here. Listen to me and leave quickly."

"Why, what did you and Luo Weilu discover today? Is it because of the painting in the showroom?" Bai Xiuqi was still relentless: "Are you here for Shizhou in China? The mirage in the photo is The entrance to Ten Continents?"

"We are indeed looking for the entrance of Shizhou, but the danger I want to tell you is not this." Jian Tong shook his head, and then threw a bombshell: "Huang Xiangyuan is going to kill someone."

"What?" Bai Xiuqi thought there was something wrong with her ears: "Say it again?!"

"Huang Xiangyuan wants to kill someone."

Sure enough, he heard correctly.

Jian Tong heard the news at noon today, when he and Luo Weilu had finished soaking in the hot spring and returned to the bamboo dormitory to change their clothes.Since the two of them were very quiet, they hardly made any noise, but Luo Weilu heard footsteps outside, and then someone entered the bamboo hut next to them.

There are not many tourists on Rose Fire Island, and the employees and residents on the island are fine and will not come here to soak in broad daylight.They soon found out the identities of the people next door—it was Uncle Tang Yilang, and the two policemen who were sent aboard by him in the afternoon.

The two policemen were apparently invited to soak in the hot springs, and whispered a few words while undressing in the bamboo hut.Among them, the younger-sounding policeman asked his colleagues that the purpose of going to Rose Fire Island was to investigate the whereabouts of fugitives, but now they are eating and playing, and they are not doing serious business.

The veteran policeman was obviously used to this kind of hospitality. While telling his colleagues not to be nervous, he explained that the law and order on Rose Fire Island had always been very good. Wild on the ground.If the murderer is really on his turf, the police will save trouble.

After saying these words, the two of them opened the door and went out to soak in the hot spring.When the sound of their footsteps disappeared completely, Jian Tong was about to help Luo Weilu leave the bamboo house, but was stopped by Luo Weilu.

"There are still people." Luo Weilu, who was blind and had exceptionally keen hearing, reminded.

Almost immediately after Luo Weilu finished speaking, Uncle Tang Yilang's voice sounded from behind Zhuliao.He was talking on the phone with someone, who was probably Huang Xiangyuan.On the phone, Tang Yilang briefly explained the situation of the two policemen to that person, and said that he would send him away after serving lunch, and everything was under control.

After that, when the person on the other end of the phone said something to Tang Yilang, Uncle Tang nodded in agreement for a while, and responded abruptly: "I will ask someone to look for it carefully, and once I find it, I will deal with it all. Leave."

When hearing this sentence, Luo Weilu squeezed Jian Tong's hand, and Jian Tong also showed a surprised expression.

But at this moment, Bai Xiuqi, who heard the news from Jian Tong's mouth, was of course also surprised.

Obviously, Tang Yilang was talking about murder.People were going to die on Rose Fire Island, and Huang Xiuqi was ordered by Huang Xiangyuan to return to land as soon as possible, perhaps because of this reason?

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
