Chapter Forty-Eight: There Was a Cry in the Middle of the Night
After Gu Mandong and his entourage assigned their respective rooms, they prepared dinner by their subordinates, and after eating, drinking, and washing, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Without exception, tonight Gu Mandong still did not escape the result of sleeping in the same room with Jiang Tianluo.
Mo Jinyan's resentment escalated again.
It's just that he endured it because of the old lady's existence, but as long as the old lady was not there, his mouth was like quenching poison, and Balabala said a bunch of sneering words, every sentence aimed at Jiang Tianluo, and it was nothing more than nitpicking.
On the other hand, Jiang Tianluo's old god is there, and he doesn't care at all, and it is this that makes people hate.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden whining sound in the Xiaoshan Academy, which was so oozing.
People who slept lightly were awakened by this movement, even the old lady.
The old man's body is not as good as that of the young man, and he sleeps shallowly, so he is naturally woken up.
Even Gu Mandong and Jiang Tianluo were woken up by this scream, but Mo Jinyan slept like a dead pig and couldn't wake up.
Gu Mandong couldn't help but look at Jiang Tianluo, and his eyes had a deep meaning.
"Mo Jinyan is not too tired today, he actually slept so deeply, and he won't wake up so noisy, this is not like him at all. Gu Mandong muttered beside Jiang Tianluo as if talking to himself.
"Maybe it's really tired and panicked, but it's normal to sleep deeply. β
Jiang Tianluo actually replied, and with this response, Gu Mandong had a subtle feeling that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.
Jiang Tianluo coaxed the old lady to go back to rest, and took Jiang Hang to find the source of this cry, but he also piggybacked Gu Mandong with him.
Walking in the small mountain academy of Nuoda, Gu Mandong was wearing a coat and was a little unhappy.
"It's enough for you to go and check it out, why do you have to go with me?"
"Anyway, if you are woken up, you can't sleep, why don't you just watch it together, so that you don't have to stay alone in the room, at least have something to do, not boring. Jiang Tianluo's explanation sounds reasonable, but why does it sound a little wrong?
Gu Mandong glanced at Jiang Tianluo, didn't speak, and walked forward with his head bored.
Just as she passed through an archway, a white shadow flickered by, disappearing into the grass in the distance.
"What is it?" Gu Mandong rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"Have you ever seen a white shadow flash and disappear into the grass? Gu Mandong asked, gesturing to a man-tall weed not far away.
Jiang Tianluo didn't hurry to answer, and threw a gesture at Jiang Hang, and saw that he immediately trotted over, squatted down to check, and nodded.
It's an affirmative answer to be sure that something really has gone through.
Jiang Tianluo stretched out his hand and took Gu Mandong's hand and walked over. Seeing that this grass is one person high, and this large area of grass is spreading beyond the courtyard wall, I don't know what will be here.
"Do you want to go in?" Jiang Tianluo asked Gu Mandong.
Gu Mandong was a little hesitant, to be honest, she didn't want to go into the summer grass, because it meant that there might be a snake lurking in it, for this kind of slippery and cold animal, Gu Mandong was born not very fond of it, although she didn't like Cheng DΓΉ, who was afraid, but she didn't like it, compared to the cold corpse, the snake thing, she didn't dare to compliment.
But before she could refuse, the strange sound from before sounded again, and the source of the sound was obviously in the weeds, and this discovery immediately made Gu Mandong change his mind.
"It's good to go in and have a look. β
Jiang Tianluo nodded, Jiang Hang led the way in front, and she was protected in the middle, and there was a Jiang Tianluo behind her, just walking forward like this.
Perhaps the movement of the grass as he moved forward alarmed the owner of the voice, which changed slightly to make a warning sound similar to a sizzle.
Jiang Hang's speed also increased a little, but when the three of them arrived at their destination, they found that there was a nest similar to a bird inhabiting in the grass, and there were a few pinches of white hair next to this nest, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
No one spoke, but Jiang Hang picked up the white hair and handed it to Jiang Tianluo.
Jiang Tianluo took his hand and looked at it, then said: "These are two pinches of fox fur, and they are also juvenile fox furs replaced by young foxes. But it's very strange that there is a human breath in this hair, could it be a fox raised by someone in captivity?"
"Fox, no wonder it sounded familiar before, but now that I think about it, it does look like a fox's cry. However, aren't these foxes all animals that should live in the mountains? How did they come here? Even if this small mountain academy is built on the mountain, it is not enough to attract foxes. Moreover, this fur is still white, so it doesn't look like ordinary fox fur. β
Gu Mandong couldn't help but say this, and her words obviously attracted the same gaze from Jiang Tianluo and Jiang Hang.
"How do you know so much? As far as I know, you rarely go out, and even before you get married, your family doesn't allow you to show your head too much. But why are you so sure it's a fox's cry?"
Kumandon couldn't help blinking.
"Ah, am I wrong? You said before that this is the fox's hair, and since there is a nest here and fox hair, then the sound just now came from here, and it is naturally the fox's cry. Am I wrong?" Gu Mandong looked innocent and pretended to be stupid, just trying to fool the past.
I said the wrong thing for a while.
"This is not a fox den, and the fox dwelling is not an open-air one. Moreover, foxes do not make their dwellings in the form of birds' nests. I think it's most likely artificial. There are people who clearly don't want us here, and tonight this is just a warning. At that time, the man was not sure whether we were living temporarily or for a long time, so he could only test one or two things in this way. β
"Oh, I see, someone pretends to be a ghost in the middle of the night to warn us, right?"
"So to speak. β
"Then I understand, since it's man-made, and we'll leave tomorrow, what happens here has nothing to do with us, and since that's the case, let's leave. Don't delve too far into it. Gu Mandong clapped his hands, made a decision for Jiang Tianluo, and took the lead in preparing to leave here the same way.
But just as she took two steps, she immediately felt that the foothold was a little different, and when she lowered her head, she saw a long black thing under her feet being twisted by her foot, and in an instant, a big snake with the thickness of a black baby's arm on a white background rolled upside down, and opened its mouth directly towards Gu Mandong's thigh and bit it.
At that moment, Gu Mandong only felt that his brain was suddenly a little short-circuited, and he actually forgot to dodge, just staring at the big shekou with wide eyes, and his brain floated over such a 'wow, this tooth is so white and long, it is really a good tooth' eyes were dazzled, his legs hurt, and his whole body was numb, so he fell straight and straight backwards.
The stars in the night sky tonight were so beautiful that she wanted to sleep.
