Chapter 33: Accidental hand-holding
"Living sacrifice?!"
Isn't that just about letting them die?
Everyone's faces changed when they heard this, but they heard Han Yifei continue: "Come on, send the eldest young master and the eldest young lady into the cave room together!"
Seeing that those maids were all looking at her, and they looked like they were about to move, Gu Yan couldn't sit still, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Pei Yan: "Teacher Pei, what should I do now?"
Pei Yan's eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes quickly swept over these people who were slowly approaching, and suddenly said loudly: "Wait, I still have one more thing!"
Seeing this, everyone stopped and turned their eyes to Pei Yan.
He cleared his throat and continued while winking at Huang Yifu: "I heard that Mr. Huang is talented, knowledgeable, and his poetry collection is quite popular, and he said that he would give me a big gift on my wedding day, I wonder if you can let us all open our eyes now?"
Huang Yifu was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately reacted, stepped forward, and said to Lu Xinning and Sun Shengguang, who were sitting opposite and didn't dare to move: "What the eldest young master said is right, but this gift is quite special, and I still need Miss Xinning and Mr. Sun to help me, two-"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xinning took the lead in jumping down from the chair, rushed to Gu Yan's side in a hurry, tightly wrapped her arm, her little face turned pale, and asked in a trembling voice: "Youyou, what Xiao Han said just now means that they are not alive, and they want us to die with them... Right?"
Gu Yan bowed her head slightly, took off her cloak and draped it on Lu Xinning, patted her shoulder comfortingly, then turned around and approached Pei Yan, tiptoed to say something in his ear, and when she saw that he understood, she handed over the candlestick in her hand to him.
At this time, Sun Shengguang also bypassed the other guests and rushed to the side of a few people, Pei Yan saw that the personnel had arrived, and quickly pointed to the direction of the side hall on both sides with his hand under the cover of the sleeves of the wedding dress, exchanged a look with everyone, and suddenly said: "Run!"
After speaking, he ran to the side hall door on the right without looking back, followed by Huang Yifu.
Gu Yu was also prepared, and at the moment when Pei Yan's words fell, she copied the candlestick closest to her side, pulled Lu Xinning to the door on the left, and followed Sun Shengguang, who was stunned for a second before reacting, fortunately, he had long legs, and soon caught up with the two.
The subordinates in the front hall saw that a few people had actually fled under their noses, and they all let out angry screams, and under the leadership of Han Yifei, they divided into two groups to hunt them down.
The entire Golden Mansion was instantly plunged into a dark chaos, with footsteps, screams, and roars mixed together, and an atmosphere of tension and fear permeated the sky over the entire mansion.
Gu Yu had walked through it during the day, and when she followed Pei Yan over just now, she also silently wrote down the terrain, and took Lu Xinning and Sun Shengguang to go around the back garden of the Jin Mansion for a long time before finding a temporary hiding place, and successfully got rid of the group of maids who kept screaming and shouting.
Hearing the footsteps fading away, she slowly emerged from the flower bed, re-lit the candle with the match she had brought from the underground secret room, held the candlelight slightly in her palm, and whispered, "Xinning, Teacher Sun, you can come out." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two heads came out of the two flower beds next to them, Lu Xinning shook off the leaves that fell into her clothes, stepped forward in small steps, and continued to stick to Gu Fei's side, looking around left and right while asking her in a breath voice: "Youyou, where are we going?"
"The stage. Gu Yan walked forward slowly, and explained, "When I returned to my room after watching the play in the backyard in the afternoon, I turned my head halfway and saw that the actor who played Zhu Yingtai was warning me, so I speculated that they should be alive like us." ”
"I don't know if they're still there, but there's a lounge behind the stage where we can go and rest for a while. I also told Mr. Pei before, that I would act separately to lead away the group of NPCs, and then gather on the stage ......"
Sun Shengguang walked at the end, patted his chest when he heard the words, and let out a long breath: "Sure enough, this kind of show can't be done with brute force alone, it still depends on courage, I feel relieved when I see you so calm and calm." Gu Fei, I'll follow you this issue!"
Gu Yu said helplessly, half-jokingly: "Okay, I'll cover you." ”
When Lu Xinning heard this, she hurriedly put her head next to Gu Yan's ear: "You, we have already said in the restaurant before, come first and come first, so you must protect me first, and if necessary, you must know how to give up the car to protect the handsome!
"Gu Fei, don't listen to her, my combat power is stronger than hers, and I can help you violently remove the lock, and the car is also to protect me!" Sun Shengguang hurriedly canvassed for himself.
"Don't forget that you are now the number one suspect, maybe you just want to gain your trust and kill one of our strongest combat forces now!"
"I... I'm not!"
"Heh, which murderer will admit it himself, Mr. Sun, don't pretend, I'm always on guard against you!"
Listening to the two of them, Gu Yu really couldn't cry or laugh, while being vigilant about whether there would be danger, she followed the route in her memory and felt the direction of the backyard, although she almost encountered a few wandering NPCs in the middle, but fortunately, she still arrived at the stage smoothly in the end.
It's just that when the three of them finally found the lounge, they found that not only did they not see any living people, but they didn't even have a place to rest seriously, it was a small space of less than five square meters, with some props, costumes and small wooden benches messily.
The three of them each found a place, and Gu Yu sat near the door, opened a small slit in the wooden door, and carefully stared at the situation outside.
But until the night was getting deeper and deeper, Lu Xinning's yawning was about to infect Gu Yan, but Pei Yan and Huang Yifu never appeared.
Sun Shengguang paced uneasily in the lounge, and said worriedly: "They haven't come yet, it can't be any danger, right? What can I do?"
Gu Yu was also a little anxious, she glanced at Lu Xinning, whose head was leaning against the wall and her eyelids were so sleepy that she couldn't stop fighting, gritted her teeth and stood up decisively, "Teacher Pei, where should they be trapped, we can't wait like this any longer, we can only give up on them and go back to the room." ”
As soon as she heard that she was leaving, Lu Xinning immediately cheered up, patted her cheek and agreed: "I also think we should go back to the room, the program team shouldn't be so bad, and they won't even let us sleep well." ”
After making a decision, the three of them stopped grinding, Gu Yu took the lead, and Sun Shengguang pushed open the door and walked out of the lounge, tiptoeing in the direction of their respective rooms.
However, just when they finally got closer, a strange cool breeze suddenly appeared from around the corner, and with a "whirring" sound, the candle in Gu Yan's hand was blown out.
"Ah——!h
"Who! Who's touching me!"
The candlelight went out, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness where they couldn't see their fingers, and a scream completely broke up the team that was advancing in an orderly manner, Lu Xinning was so frightened that she subconsciously closed her eyes, hugged Gu Yan's arm, buried her face in her clothes and wailed speechlessly, Sun Shengguang jumped three meters high directly in place, flapping and retreating, and screaming in his mouth: "Someone touched me just now!
Gu Fei: "......"
"Don't panic, it's just a scary mechanism. She silently pulled the collar of her coat that was about to be pulled open by Lu Xinning, bent down and picked up the candlestick that had just been inadvertently knocked to the ground by Sun Shengguang, and when she touched her fingers, she found that it was empty, and suddenly said helplessly: "It's over, the candle has also fallen, and now we can really only move forward in the dark......"
But before she could finish speaking, a low male voice suddenly came into her ears.
"Gu Fei?"
Gu Yu was startled, subconsciously turned her head, squinted her eyes slightly, and saw the person who spoke clearly through the faint moonlight outside, "Teacher Pei?!"
"Shhhhh By the way, what's going on on the other side of the stage?"
"There are no ghosts on the other side of the stage, but there is no place to rest, so we will have to rest in our room tonight. Gu Yu replied succinctly, "By the way, where are your candles?"
"I fell off when I ran away," Huang Yifu continued, "Let's find a way to get into the room first, I'm almost sleepy." ”
"But I can't see anything here, and there will be ghosts at any time, how do I get there..."
"Wait, I still have one last match, it should be able to burn for a while, but I don't know if I can hold out until we get to the room......" Gu Yu took out the matchbox and shook it, frowning with some concern.
"Otherwise, let's send a bold person to walk in the front with a match, and the people in the back will hold hands and line up to touch the wall, so that everyone will neither get separated nor have accidents, as long as the first person finds the direction of the room, the people behind can be brought in one after another even if there is no light, what do you think?" Sun Shengguang said.
"Yes, it just so happens that the match is here, and I'll be the first. Gu Yu bowed her head in agreement.
Seeing that everyone else also agreed to this proposal, Gu Yu took the hand of the person next to her without saying a word.
She subconsciously thought it was Lu Xinning, but she didn't react suddenly until she held it tightly.
Wait, why is it so big......
No, it's a man's hand! But it's a familiar cool touch......
Gu Yan's mind flashed Pei Yan's name in an instant, her heartbeat beat faster, and reason told her to let go quickly, but her body was not controlled by her brain, and she couldn't even resist rubbing the back of his hand with her fingertips.
Hey, Pei Yan's skin is so slippery......
At the same time, Pei Yan also reacted to who was holding him, and blinked quickly reflexively, a nervous look flashed on his face, but he was quickly covered up by him, and continued to let her hold him as if nothing happened.
And yet at this very moment.
"I'm going to follow you!"
With these words, Lu Xinning's little hand suddenly stepped in, and grabbed Gu Yan's hand into her arms.
Feeling the instantly empty palm, Pei Yan was slightly stunned, and then silently tightened his lips.
"Tsk, I want to get this Lu Xinning away. ”
