be happy

"Of course I didn't come to look for you." Lu Chuge said coldly, "Where's Heqing?"

"I don't know." Tao Ranran simply turned his head away, out of sight.

"Elder." Lu Yu came out and cupped his hands.

Lu Chuge's expression darkened, and he said, "Follow me back to Zhongxuan."

"Shen Zhou is still here." Lu Yu hesitated.

"He's not three years old, can he lose it?" Lu Chuge said angrily.

Lu Yu turned his head and looked at Tao Ranran who was sitting on the chair, resting his chin and looking at the distance, automatically ignoring the person in front of him.

"Heqing!" Seeing this, Lu Chuge said angrily, "Do you still remember what you promised me?"

"Remember." Lu Yu withdrew his gaze and said with lowered eyes.

"Since I remember it, I won't repeat it again, and follow me back immediately." Lu Chuge's expression turned pale.

"Second Young Master, it's not good, it's not good." Tao Daoxi ran in from the outside in a hurry, and was shocked.

"What's wrong?" Tao Ranran stood up, stretched out her hand to hold Tao Daoxi, and asked in doubt.

Tao Daoxi supported his knees, panting and said: "West of the city, someone is dead, he is a watchman."

"Take me there." Tao Ranran's expression changed suddenly.

"Okay." Tao Daoxi nodded repeatedly, and led Tao Ranran to the west of the city.

Lu Yu raised his foot to follow, but was stopped by Lu Chuge, and said, "Where else do you want to go?"

"Elder, it's a long story. I'll go and have a look first, and I'll explain it to you when I get back." Lu Yu frowned.

Lu Chuge looked at Lu Yu's expression, and after a while, he said, "Well, let Yi Chun and Yu Mian go with you."

"Okay." Lu Yu nodded.

In the west of the city, everyone gathers together, covering their faces with wide sleeves, but raising their heads from time to time, taking a quick glance, then immediately lowering their heads to discuss with the people around them.

"Why did people die again? One died last night, and another died today. Do you think it's because of our bad feng shui? There was a famine a year ago, and it happened again after the New Year."

"What you said is also reasonable. I heard that Tao Sect Master of Baichuan is also dead. It is probably because the Fengshui of Xizhou City is not good, and the Xianmen family can't hold it down. According to me, it is better for us to move out of here as soon as possible."

"I'm going back and forth to pack my things now, and tell my head of the family to join relatives in other places. I really can't stay here in Xizhou."

……

Everyone left in twos and threes, busy going home to pack their things, for fear that if they stayed for another day, something bad would happen.

The dead body was the same as yesterday's corpse, the energy was sucked dry by something, and the head was gone.

Before Tao Daoxi saw the corpse from a distance, his knees were so frightened, but now that he looked so closely, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

"It's like a girl's house." Tao Ranran had no choice but to help Tao Daoxi aside, turned back, and continued to look at the corpse.

There was a vague fragrance in the air, and I sniffed it again, but there was nothing but a smell of blood.

"Could it be an illusion?" Tao Ranran thought.

"How?" Lu Yu walked over at some unknown time.

Tao Ranran shook his head: "It's the same as yesterday."

Tao Ranran got up and was about to shake his numb feet, but stepped on the dead man's hand, and immediately moved away, only to see a long black thread drawn from the dead man's fingernail.

Tao Ranran stretched out her hand, ready to twist the thread, but saw the dead man's fingers suddenly bent, and the black thread began to grow longer.The corpse was instantly torn apart, and maggots that came out of nowhere fell to the ground, wriggling on the shriveled body, and the black liquid dripped on the ground, emitting a disgusting stench.

Tao Ranran turned around and retched for a while.

Lu Yu supported Tao Ranran, and gently patted him on the back with one hand.

Tao Ranran wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's really disgusting."

Lu Yumian helplessly looked at Lu Yichun who leaned half of his body on her body, and said, "Have you finished vomiting?"

Lu Yichun resisted the feeling of wanting to vomit again, forced himself to stand up straight, and said, "Finish." Before he could finish speaking, he bent down and vomited again.

It was too late to return to Baichuan again.

Lu Chuge looked at the powerless look of everyone, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

Lu Yichun wanted to reply, but he opened his mouth and wanted to vomit again, so he ran outside the house, leaned on the stone, and squatted among the flowers to vomit.

"Heqing, tell me." Lu Chuge said.

"It's just that I encountered some disgusting things." Lu Yu replied.

"Maybe you have a good talk with me now?" Lu Chuge asked.

Lu Yu nodded and briefly described what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Lu Chuge frowned, and said: "If you can't even summon the spirit crane, it will be difficult to find the trace of the other party, and you can only sit and wait for death."

Tao Ranran sent the unconscious Tao Daoxi back to the house, and after returning the same way, he met Shen Haiyue who looked absent-minded.

Shen Haiyue kept walking with her head down, not even noticing the rockery in front of her.

"Miss Shen!" Tao Ranran yelled, "If you go any further, you will be disfigured."

Shen Haiyue came back to her senses, raised her head suddenly, stopped immediately, looked at the rockery close at hand, took a few steps back in fear, looked at Tao Ranran, with an unnatural smile on her lips: "Thank you, Ran Ran."

"What's wrong with you? You're out of your mind." Tao Ranran asked with concern.

"It's okay." Shen Haiyue denied, "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Could it be true, as I thought, that I would be at ease with the young master?" Tao Ranran said with a smirk, "Use your previous courage and take down whoever you like."

Shen Haiyue couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you treating me as a bandit?"

"How could it be? How can there be such a good-looking bandit like you?" Tao Ranran smiled flatteringly.

"Okay, okay." Shen Haiyue yawned, with a tired face, "I'll go back to sleep for a while."

"Okay." Tao Ranran turned sideways to make way for Shen Haiyue.

A familiar smell penetrated into the tip of his nose again, Tao Ranran looked at Shen Haiyue's figure, his eyes changed a few times.

At night, Tao Ranran looked distressed at the number of people on the table again, and he clearly promised to go back, but why didn't he leave again.

"Yumian, you and Yi Chun will sleep in the yard you lived in last time." Tao Ranran said, "As for Elder Lu, you can choose any yard you want."

"No need, I'll share a yard with Heqing." Lu Chuge said.

Tao Ranran thought for a while and said, "Well, I've wronged you."

In the middle of the month, because of the two murders in a row, Tao Ranran had no idea of ​​going out, so he wandered around in the courtyard.

The trees beside the path are covered with colorful lights, and the candles inside are burning brightly.Tao Ranran stopped and watched the pictures drawn on the lantern with great interest.There are inscriptions next to each painting. As for the content, he doesn't know it. It is probably some auspicious words.

After looking at them one by one, I felt sore eyes. I looked up at the dark blue sky, and a strange bird came into Tao Ranran's field of vision.

Because the bird was very low, Tao Ranran could clearly see its appearance. One side of its wings was red and the other side was green, and the feathers on top of its head were white. It looked like a sparrow, but it was much bigger than a sparrow.

Seeing the bird landed on the treetop, Tao Ranran wanted to catch it on the spur of the moment, but his hands had already touched its feathers. Seeing that victory was in sight, the bird chirped a few times and flew away with flapping wings.

The bird didn't fly fast, and Tao Ranran followed closely behind.

After going around a few trails, the bird stopped on a fence and called into it.

Tao Ranran stooped, and quietly approached the wall, stepping on the stones beside him, slowly climbed up the wall, and caught the bird.The bird screamed desperately like crazy, Tao Ranran thought it was noisy, so he directly pressed the bird's mouth, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free, and could only lie obediently in Tao Ranran's palm.

Tao Ranran was about to go down, but saw a figure in the yard, and saw that figure circling around the yard, squatting under the tree for a while, and at some point, he had a shovel in his hand, carefully shoveling.

"Chirp." The bird in his hand escaped while Tao Ranran was not paying attention, and shouted happily.

The sound expanded infinitely in the silent night, disturbing the people in the courtyard.

Tao Ranran hid immediately, her body curled up in a bow shape, hanging in the air.

After a while, there was no sound coming from the courtyard, Tao Ranran slowly leaned up, and he no longer knew where he was going.

Tao Ranran simply climbed over the fence and walked under the tree, wanting to see what the man was hiding just now.Turning over the soft soil, I touched something hard with my hand, picked it up and saw that it was a stone, or two pieces.

Okay, so much effort, why bury stones?Who is that man?To bury stones and come to Baichuan to bury them?Tao Ranran thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything to do, so he could only leave.

In the dark, the black figure walked out slowly, holding a shovel in one hand, and a package in the other. The bird that had escaped from Tao Ranran was lying on its shoulder. "Jie Jie" laughter.

Heiying held the shovel again, continued to shovel the place before, and put the package in his hand into it. One rolled out because it was too big, so he slapped the shovel a few times, kicked it in again, filled the soil, and was satisfied. leave.

After Tao Ranran returned to her room, she couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about what happened just now. What did that strange bird and that mysterious person do?

Compared to Tao Ranran, Lu Yuna was not much better.

As soon as Lu Chuge entered the room, he kept asking, asking what kind of contact Lu Yu had with Tao Ranran, with an expression like those parents who are afraid that their children will be abducted by bad guys.

"Why does the elder keep telling He Qing to be wary of Tao Shi?" Lu Yu asked puzzled.

"It's not because of him." Lu Chuge stopped talking halfway, looked at Lu Yu, and sighed, "I'm also doing it for your own good, you just listen to me."

"The elder doesn't like him?" Lu Yu asked.

"He's useless, he has no rules, no way to please him." Lu Chuge said displeased.

Lu Yu said: "There are very few people who are as free and easy as Mr. Tao."

Lu Chuge said disdainfully: "He never cares about the consequences when he does things, and he doesn't think about the people around him."

"It seems that the elder is very familiar with Mr. Tao." Lu Yu guessed.

"Not familiar, not at all." Lu Chuge directly denied, "You must keep a distance from him."

"Heqing understands." Lu Yu's eyes darkened slightly.
