Alternative Style 2
The night is dark, silent and eerie, and the moonlight disappears through the slow-moving black clouds, and the atmosphere is eerie and terrifying.
Liu Huanxue and his party stood at the gate of a small town, hesitant.
"Let's go inside."
After a long time, Liu Huanxue breathed a long sigh of relief, and her hand holding Shui Xi tightened.
"Xiaoxue, we still live outside, don't go into this town."
Fu Yuxuan said tremblingly, and hugged one of Liu Huanxue's arms in fear.
"But ......"
Liu Huanxue hesitated a little, and her unfinished words were interrupted by a thunderclap.
With Jin Se screaming in fright, she looked up at the black cloud-covered sky, gritted her teeth, and completely made up her mind.
"The weather is so bad today, it looks like there will be a heavy rain soon. It doesn't matter if I'm alone, but you're all ordinary people, and you can't stay up overnight outside. â
"It doesn't matter. I can bear it, I don't want you to risk it. â
Although Jin Se kept comforting Liu Huanxue, he still shivered with fear.
It was very cold, and she could only keep rubbing her arms to keep warm.
Fu Yuxuan saw it, hurriedly took off his robe and draped it on her, and Jin Se excused himself to no avail, so he took it.
"It's all the fault of the underneath, if I hadn't accompanied me to find my father, I wouldn't have taken this road, and I wouldn't have met this town."
Liu Yan said slowly on the side, full of chagrin.
The wind howled coldly, and from time to time the rustle of the wind blowing the leaves, accompanied by the rumbling thunder, seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and it rained heavily in the sky, and several people were drenched in an instant.
"Don't waste any more time, get in there."
Liu Huanxue's face was cold, and she hurriedly urged.
"Remember when I said I'll take care of you. Even if I die, I'll let you leave this town safely. â
As soon as Liu Huanxue finished speaking, the others also made up their minds and hurriedly ran into Chuntao Town, which was regarded as a forbidden place by people.
Spring Peach Town, in fact, is also a legendary place.
A hundred years ago, commerce and trade were prosperous, and because of its location at the junction, the merchants and scholars always passed through Chuntao Town to rest.
Chuntao Town seized the opportunity, and the prosperity was unlimited, approaching the rich land of Kyoto, and it became a big town known to the whole country.
But for some reason, Chuntao Town suddenly became a forbidden place for people to fear.
Although it is still so prosperous from the outside, it has become a place where you can only enter but not leave.
Someone once watched his friend walk into Chuntao Town, but he couldn't get out again.
What's even more weird is that a hundred years have passed, and Chuntao Town still maintains its original appearance, without a trace of change.
Later, Spring Peach Town became known as Ghost Town.
Some people were not afraid of rumors, and a group of people clamored to go to Chuntao Town, but they never came out.
Since then, no one in Chuntao Town has dared to enter.
After running in the rain for a while, I saw an inn with lights inside, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Although she hesitated, Liu Huanxue looked at the few people behind her who were shivering from the cold, and hurriedly knocked on the door.
After a while, a small man came and opened the door.
He looked in his twenties, thin, but his face was full of smiles.
As soon as he saw the people outside the door, he hurriedly greeted them inside, and said as he greeted them: "Come in, the guest officer, it's been a hard journey." â
"Li Si, have you arrived?"
A lazy female voice came from the second floor of the inn, Liu Huanxue looked up, and saw a woman walking slowly downstairs with an uncontrollable tiredness on her face.
She estimated that she had just come out of forty, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still had the style of her youth.
Liu Huanxue's heart suddenly cooled, she had long known that they would come here.
The hand holding Shui Xi tightened, and she couldn't help but be vigilant.
"Sister Chun, the guest has arrived."
The little guy who was called Li Si smiled flatteringly and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The one called Sister Chun directly pushed Li Si, who came to her, smiled politely at Liu Huanxue, and said, "How many rooms do you need?" â
"4 rooms."
"No, two."
Jin Se and Fu Yuxuan shouted at the same time.
Liu Huanxue glanced at them suspiciously, and only suddenly realized when she saw the frightened look on their faces.
After all, they are ordinary people, and they are still afraid of this place.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Liu Yan in puzzlement, but his face was calm, which made people suspicious.
"Li Si, quickly take them to the guest room upstairs."
followed Li Si slowly up the stairs, and the further up he went, the more uneasy Liu Huanxue's heart grew.
As soon as she walked up to the second floor, she felt that there was a gaze from behind her that had been staring at her, and she quickly turned around, but she saw Sister Chun looking at her, and Sister Chun still had a smile on the corner of her mouth that she had time to put away.
Her heart suddenly beat rapidly, and for some reason, she always felt that that gaze was not Sister Chun's.
That gaze made her feel uneasy, like a thorn in her back.
Could it be that she is too suspicious and thinks too much?
The backyard of the inn is a place where guests can store their horses.
In the dim darkness of the night, the rain was falling incessantly, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell, but the horses in the stables were unaware, as if there was no zĂ i at all.
At the corner of the back door of the inn, two shadows could be vaguely seen.
"What are you doing here? What is the purpose? â
The voice was slightly cold, with annoyance, and it was obvious that he was very unwelcome.
"Huh."
The person on the other side smiled, his voice was full of style, and he said indifferently: "I have no conflict with your purpose." You just don't save zĂ i and do what you want. â
"You think I'm going to ......"
The rain became heavier and heavier, and their conversation was no longer audible, and gradually dissipated in the whirring wind.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, Liu Huanxue asked Jin Se to go to bed first, while she herself sat upright on the chair with Shui Xi in her hand.
"Xue'er, you can rest first, in case something is wrong, I will warn you."
Yu Shenghan glanced at Liu Huanxue, who was sitting on the chair, his eyes were wide, and he couldn't help but say out loud.
"No, I promised them that I would protect them, and I must not lose my word."
Her expression was firm, and Yu Shenghan knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he only sighed and didn't speak.
There was no sleep all night, and no one knew what a shocking conspiracy was brewing on such a rainy night.
