83: Long Night
Cheng Li suddenly stopped and said in a condensed voice: "Xi Yinchun, why do you say that?"
Xi Yinchun spread his hands: "The reason is very simple. Think about it. Suppose someone lurks in this boat, suppose someone wants to deal with us. So, what's the best way for him?"
The water dragon groaned: "Of course, we have to adopt various tactics to break through. Because no matter how powerful this person is, with so many masters on the ship, he definitely has no ability to forcibly kill all of us at once. ”
Cheng Li groaned: "It's like when wolves hunt, first find a way to separate the adult beast from the old and weak beast, and then attack the old and weak?"
Xi Yinchun smiled: "I haven't seen how wolves hunt. But you're right, that's it. Now Miao Huo and his gang locked themselves in their rooms, isolated from the rest of the ship. Even if something happens, no one else will know it at the first time. Isn't that a good place to start?"
Cheng Li asked, "Then what should we do? Do you want to tell Hu Yuji, or someone else?"
Shui Long Yin sneered: "It's useless to tell anyone. That seedling, narrow-minded and irritable, really annoyed it. Not to mention that he may be assassinated, even if he is beheaded in front of me, I promise not to frown. Compare hearts to hearts, and others must be like me. Who would want to take a risk to save such a young man?"
Xi Yinchun said: "As for Hu Yuji, hehe, this woman's responsibility is just to send the guests to the sea to sell the gold cave." Whether it's a dead guest or a living guest is sent over, it's perfectly fine. So she couldn't count on it. ”
Cheng Li frowned and said, "Then we won't do anything, just sit here." Waiting for the killer behind the scenes?"
Xi Yinchun and Shui Longyin looked at each other, and after a while, Shui Longyin smiled bitterly: "There's no way, who let me eat the public meal?" If something happens, I'll send you a signal. Don't delay. Otherwise, my little life may be gone. ”
Cheng Li nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention." There's another thing I want to tell you. ”
Just as he was about to say that "someone left an invitation card for the Hundred Flowers Thief", someone suddenly came from behind and called: "Childe, Childe, it turns out that you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time." ”
Cheng Li looked back and turned out to be Leng Yuxiang. "What are you looking for me?"
Leng Yuxiang couldn't help but say, and pulled Cheng Li away: "I have something important to tell you, come with me first." ”
Cheng Li thought it was about the Hundred Flowers Thief again, so he didn't resist and followed her.
Xi Yinchun and Shui Longyin couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw this. Xi Yinchun shook his fan and praised him: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." It was so easy to take down this iceberg. Awesome, admire, admire. ”
Shui Long Yin said with a smile: "It's the hardest thing to accept the grace of a beauty, let alone an ice beauty." I see, Brother Cheng is going to suffer. ”
Xi Yinchun snorted: "Zi Fei Fish, how do you know the joy of fish? You are not Brother Cheng, Yan knows that Brother Cheng is suffering? ”
The water dragon sighed: "Pity us two singles, there are no beauties, so I have to look to see if there is any food, I can comfort myself." Let's go, let's go. The two of them had a match and did not have a match, and they went side by side.
Cheng Li followed Leng Yuxiang and went up to the second floor of the cabin. After turning around, enter a room. But all the decorations in this room are mainly green. It is very delicately and elegantly furnished. At first glance, you know that it must be a women's boudoir.
Cheng Li didn't want to go into the women's boudoir, so he stood outside the door and frowned: "Miss Leng, if you have anything to say, say it here." ”
Leng Yuxiang entered the room, opened the table drawer, and took out something preciously. Holding it with both hands, he handed it to Cheng Li in a cherished manner, and said softly: "You can carry this thing with you, don't lose it." ”
Cheng Li's eyes swept over, and he saw that it was a sign made of silver, which was inlaid with gold wire into a symbol, twisted and turned, and he couldn't understand what this symbol meant. He picked it up and asked, "What is this?"
Leng Yuxiang said softly: "It's a talisman." The talisman I asked for in the temple of Emperor Dongyue in Taishan. It is said that the Emperor Dongyue has blessed it, and it is very effective. Keeping it close to you can not only ward off evil spirits, but also bring good luck. ”
Cheng Li put the silver medal back in Leng Yuxiang's palm and said, "Then you should keep it for yourself." Don't give it to me, I don't believe in evil. ”
Leng Yuxiang stuffed the silver medal back again, and there was already a little worry in her tone:
"Something big could happen on this ship. But with the eldest sister sheltering, I'm not afraid of anything. It's you...... All in all, you take it. After catching the flower thief, it's not too late to return it. I have feelings. It is very likely that the flower thief was the one who brought the coffin to the ship. ”
If you continue to push three and let four, it will be too hypocritical. Cheng Li shook his head and put away the talisman card, but he didn't care. "Thirty-six coffins are not things that can be carried with you, nor are they something that one person can bring them up. Among the sailors on board, there must have been someone who colluded with each other. Let's check it out. ”
Leng Yuxiang's expression was gloomy: "My eldest sister and I both understand this truth. It's just that...... Alas~ they are all sisters for many years. It's very difficult to check how to check and who to check. ”
Cheng Li said lightly: "I'm just reminding you." What to do, that's your business, I don't care. ”
Since he couldn't take care of it, there was no need for Cheng Li to stay here, so he turned around and left immediately and went back to his room.
For the rest of the day, the atmosphere on board was very depressing. At supper, although the people gathered again in the banquet hall, they never spoke to each other again. Once they had finished eating, they hurried away. Obviously, among the people, there has been mutual suspicion.
The first to leave the banquet hall was the water dragon yin. The last one to leave was Cheng Li. He went back to his room, did not take off his clothes, just sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly closed his eyes and rested.
On the surface, Cheng Li seemed to be very relaxed. But in reality, his attention was incredibly focused.
Anyway, the guest rooms on the ship are all concentrated in this area, and they are not far from each other. With Cheng Li's five senses, even if a needle fell to the ground outside the room of the Miao Gang, he could hear it clearly. As long as he senses that something is wrong, Cheng will be able to pounce out as soon as possible.
As the clock ticked by, the moon rose and slipped again. Then in the eastern sky, a touch of fish belly white has faintly emerged. The long night is coming to an end, and the dawn is coming. Nothing has happened. Xi Yinchun's prophecy seems to have gone bankrupt.
Cheng Li breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes. But at this moment, his complexion suddenly changed again! Faintly in his ears, he heard someone screaming in the distance.
"Kill, kill, kill!
