Chapter 24: There is no shadow

Ye Mansion shouted and shouted up and down, like an oil pot boiling, and there was a panic.

However, at the other end, Lin Suqing, who was going to Sitian County, was dressed in the dark night at this time, hurrying with the bright moonlight on his back, only accompanied by the shadow on the ground in front of him.

The evening breeze hunted, blowing the back of his head cold. In the distance, a wild wolf stood on a lonely high place on the mountain cliff, leading its neck to howl, long and lonely, turning the long night into a hairy bone.

He was walking alone, but when he made a detour, he suddenly noticed something strange behind him, as if someone was following him in the dark. He listened carefully, but there was no sound of footsteps.

So, he managed to muster up the courage to slow his pace, only to wait for the stalker to approach, and then glanced back with the back of his eyes. However, this plan did not work, and there was no one behind him, not even the shadow cast by the moonlight. He took aim at the opportunity and quickly turned his head to look back, but there was still no one to see.

The road was lined with forests and grass, and if someone was hiding, it would be difficult for him to take precautions in time. But if someone is hiding, he can find out if there is a disturbance.

However, there was nothing at the moment, only the feeling that someone was following him behind him. It is this feeling of uncertainty that is the most terrifying.

Could it be that his own heart is weak? But he asked himself that in addition to his personality being a little cowardly, his courage should not be small, and he should not be weak after walking all night.

What's more, this feeling of being followed and hairy in the bottom of his heart is a real feeling, not like his own cranky conjecture out of thin air.

As he guessed, he held his hand tightly on the rune and wrote it silently over and over again in his mind, so as not to forget which stroke.

During this period, my ears were constantly on guard against the movements around me, and my eyes were not empty to look around. It can be said that he watched six ways and listened to all directions, and his hairs stood on end with anxiety, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

This is a barren mountain and a wild range, and it is rarely visited. As far as the eye can see, there is no village in front of you, no shop in the back, only in the fields not far away, there are countless deserted graves.

If he encounters demons and monsters, he will definitely not be able to run away, but fortunately there is a rune given by the second prince himself, which is like a reassuring pill, and he is not very afraid of demons and monsters.

I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I'm running into a thief with a hidden evil intention, and with his hard work in mentioning two gourds, I'm afraid it's a bit risky to fight.

He looked around with trepidation, looking forward and backward. Then he fell in love with a large tree on the edge of the cemetery. I thought that if I climbed that tree and stood high and saw far away, I would always be able to see who was following him.

So, he looked behind him carefully, but still couldn't see the stalker, and immediately turned around and went straight to the tree.

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to crawl, when his arm was jerked and dragged behind half of the gravestone on the edge of the bushes behind him, and he fell to the ground.

In a panic, he was about to resist, but when he looked closely, it was a bright and moving girl who dragged him.

The girl was about the age of Mo Mei, and she was holding her orchid finger in front of Yin Taohong's lips, and motioned to him: "Shhh......h

Lin Suqing's hand with runes was eager to try, and he wasn't sure if this girl was a human or a ghost. While he was still speculating, he saw the girl stretch out her hand and point to the side of the road, motioned for him to look, and whispered: "Look, that person has no shadow......

Her voice was not soft, it was a little low, but when it came to her ears, it was inexplicably seductive, tickling her ears and eyes.

Lin Suqing looked in the direction she pointed, but there was no one in sight, and she was about to ask a question, when she saw that someone had appeared, on the road he had just walked.

He was followed by a burly man, dressed in rags, revealing mottled and blurred flesh and blood, as if he was injured by a sharp weapon when he was fighting with a person, and all of them were fatal injuries.

Lin Suqing could even vaguely see the shaven beard on the man's face and the scar on his left eye by the moonlight, and there was really no shadow at the man's feet.

If you are a human being, there must be a shadow.

When Lin Suqing was stunned, she only heard the girl's soft voice in her ears: "There is no shadow...... It's a ghost ......."

"Ghost?" Lin Suqing was frightened, and immediately looked at the girl's feet, at the girl's feet, there was only a black and abrupt grave, and there was no shadow in sight. She doesn't have a shadow either?

He was startled, but suddenly found that there was no shadow under his own feet. I was shocked again.

There must be a reason for everything, and he will definitely not be wrong if he is a big living person. He looked around, and then he figured it out. For they hid themselves behind the tombstones, and there were great trees on their side, so that the moonlight could not shine into where they were.

It turned out that the light here was not good, which somewhat made his hanging heart let go a little. But after thinking about it, a bright girl suddenly appeared in the wilderness for no reason, which is too abnormal.

He couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart, a little suspicious of this girl's origin, and he subconsciously wanted to stay away from her. The girl tugged at his sleeve and motioned for him to continue looking at the man on the road.

He took a look, and saw that the man with the scar had only walked a few steps forward, and when he realized that he had lost his prey, he turned around and returned the way he came. Give up so easily, without looking too much.

With the departure of the man, Lin Suqing also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was full of doubts about the origin of the girl next to him.

Whether she is human or not, when he is unsure, he does not dare to stay with her for more. So he stood up and bowed to the girl, "Thank you for saving your life." ”

He was about to find an excuse to go away when he was polite, but when the girl got up, she fell into his arms.

"Ahh

The girl's slightly cold snort hit his neck, and his neck was warm.

After he helped the girl to stand firmly, the girl raised her sleeves and half-covered her red makeup, very shy, and said, "It's rude, son, please forgive me." ”

Lonely men and widows in the wilderness, Lin Suqing was suddenly a little jerky, and the excuse of slipping away just came to his mouth, and he swallowed it back. For a while, I really didn't know what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere.

At this time, a maid ran from behind the forest, shouting, "Miss, I have been looking for you for a long time, why did you come here?"

The maid's voice was very open, with two buns on her head, full of bead pendants, and a bright red dress, which was very festive and powdered, and she felt that she was going to greet people as soon as she opened her mouth, not like the dress of an ordinary day.

This aroused Lin Suqing's suspicions, and he hurriedly looked back at the girl he was holding in his hand, that is, the young lady called by this maid. It was from this look that he was surprised to realize that this woman was wearing a bright red wedding robe, with a phoenix crown and a veil, which was quite solemn.

Which young lady who is about to leave the cabinet will appear in the graveyard in the middle of the night in the wilderness?

Lin Suqing sighed in his heart and began to worry. But soon he was able to suppress his beating heart. He remembered that before leaving, the second prince specially instructed him to be calm and not panicked, so that the demons naturally did not dare to invade him.

The second prince will definitely not deceive him. He has to be calm, he has to be calm.

Lin Suqing swallowed her saliva, suppressed her nervous heart, and asked euphemistically, "I take the liberty to ask, why did the two girls appear in the middle of the night...... In this desolate place?"

The young lady who broke her foot walked over to the hand supported by the maid and left Lin Suqing's arms. She shyly hid her face and turned sideways, as if there was something unspeakably shy to hide.

But the maid said bluntly: "Our young lady escaped from marriage, and she was afraid of being discovered by her family, so she only bought a small thatched house in front of her and lived in it temporarily." Only wait for the man's family to make a marriage contract before he can go back. So don't say it, Childe, for fear that the old lady will send someone to arrest us. ”

The maid spoke frankly, not like a lie made up to deceive him.

Lin Suqing was suspicious, it turned out that he was running away from marriage? It was also difficult for this young lady. Even if the woman's escape from marriage is left in his original world, it is rare, and with such courage to break through the world, Lin Suqing can't help but look at her differently.

"The girl is so bold. ”

Childe laughed. The young lady came back sideways, her eyes shining in the dark night, she stared at Lin Suqing, and explained carefully, "It's just that I don't want to be trapped by the world and marry someone I don't love against my will." ”

Then she took the maid's hand and said with pity: "It's a pity that Xiaohong suffered, and she came with me to suffer in this kind of place." ”

The maid named Xiaohong hurriedly held the girl's hand and said worriedly: "Miss, where is this talking, Xiaohong has served Miss since she was a child, Miss treats Xiaohong like a sister, how can Xiaohong leave Miss to suffer alone?"

The sisterhood is deep, and Lin Suqing's heart is soft. It turned out that he was forced to settle down next to a grave in this barren mountain range.

This gloomy realm is a little afraid of him, a dignified man, not to mention the two weak women who are like flowers. It takes a lot of determination and courage to make such a decision.

Lin Suqing suddenly felt a little distressed, and wanted to take them into her arms and give them a warm embrace to comfort them. But he kept the emotion under control.

Last time when he was in Qingqiu, because he sympathized with the dragon, he was almost eaten alive by her.

The young lady raised her handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to him sideways: "Our sisters are rude, so that the son can see and smile." ”

"It doesn't matter, the sisterhood of the two is very touching. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he was very cooperative verbally and did not express his doubts to his face.

After the young lady and Xiaohong wiped the tears on each other's faces, she pointed to a path behind the cemetery and said to Lin Suqing.

"Our sisters live in the front, and it is even more quiet at night, and it is really dangerous for Childe to travel alone at night. If Childe doesn't dislike it, he can go to our sister's house first, and then walk after dawn, which is safer. ”

Lin Suqing thought of the scarred man just now, and the mottled and blurred mottled body was vivid. He subconsciously agreedβ€”it was indeed dangerous to walk at night.

In addition to the bandits, there are also monsters that are not human. This time, there is only one man stalking, what if it is two or a group of people again?

Not to mention that these monsters walk in the night, he can't guard against them. Even if a thief suddenly popped up, he was powerless to parry.

Compared with the two girls around him, if they are just ordinary people, it is naturally the best. If they weren't human, two weak girls would be easier to deal with than two men.

What's more, this young lady had just saved him once, if these two girls were female ghosts and had evil intentions to harm him, they could do it at this time, so why deliberately lead him elsewhere?

I guess the two of them are really just ordinary people who have escaped marriage.

Seeing that he hesitated for a long time, the young lady said with a clear eyebrow: "Since the son dislikes the Burrow, then ......"

"Oh, son, what are you afraid of, we two weak women are not afraid, what are you afraid of. Xiaohong's personality is much more pungent than that young lady, and she immediately grabbed the words and said, "My young lady is kind enough to take you in, and I don't think you have a bad reputation when you go, but you are afraid of this and that, and hesitate, Xiaohong looks down on you, and if you don't go, you won't go." ”

"Alas, Xiaohong, you must not be unreasonable. The young lady immediately took Xiaohong's hand and persuaded her, "You don't know about the situation around here, not to mention the graves everywhere, there are still rogues everywhere, and the son looks like a foreigner, how can we stand by and let it go?"

Na Xiaohong was quite indignant and said: "I know that Miss is for his good, but we just want to help him with the friendship of the landlord, but people are not necessarily willing to accept it." I don't think it's worth it to put a hot face on a cold ass. ”

"Xiaohong, don't be rude. The young lady stopped Xiaohong's words, and Xiaohong saw that she was slightly angry, so she had to give up, but she was still very unconvinced.

The young lady saw that her maid was open-mouthed, and they lost their manners one after another, so they solemnly apologized to Lin Suqing.

Xiaohong didn't mean to offend, and asked Childe to have a large number of them, so she didn't have to worry about her. After speaking, she raised her eyes and stared at Lin Suqing, then lowered her eyes again, looked to the side, and did not dare to look at Lin Suqing, quite shy.

"When we meet for the first time, we are strangers to each other, and in such a special place, it is normal for Childe to be wary. As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Suqing again, her eyes were bright and exciting.

"The little girl and Xiaohong are also out of good intentions, such a barren place is really not suitable for night travel, otherwise we would not ignore the women's festival and invite the son to go to our own cottage to spend the night. ”

The young lady took Xiaohong and gave a salute, and continued: "We sisters don't persuade much, and the son may as well decide for himself." ”

After thinking about it, Lin Suqing weighed it in his heart, and suddenly felt that he might as well go with them. Even if they are not good, anyway, he has the runes drawn by the second prince himself in his hand, which are used to deal with female ghosts, so it must be no problem. What's more, female ghosts should be easier to deal with than others. You can choose it this way.

After thinking about it, he bowed his hand and said, "Thank you two for the invitation, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Disturbed. ”

The young lady is as gentle as water: "Childe is polite." ”

Xiaohong is still spicy: "It would be good if I figured it out earlier, I didn't panic after staying in this cemetery for so long." Instead, he was very gentle to Miss, "Miss, let's go quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time." ”

Between the words, Lin Suqing was quite ashamed, caution was not a bad thing, but now she was counted down by Xiaohong and a woman, and she was somewhat disgraced.

However, I can't do anything more with her, after all, she does seem to be bolder than herself, and she is a woman. So he didn't say anything more, just laughed and passed by.
