Chapter 17: The Bridegroom
Chen Lan was the first to react, looked back, and shouted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The bride heard Chen Lan shouting, turned around and floated away leisurely, very fast. Chen Lan chased after her, and behind, Su Xiaoxiao and Chen An, who had not yet reacted, stood still, and only after they figured out what was going on, did they realize that Chen Lan and the bride were gone. There was no end in sight to the dark corridor, except for a lantern flickering at the top of the staircase, like a lantern with the word wine written under the eaves of the inn at night.
It should be a good thing that the bride is gone. However, Chen Lan is also gone.
Chen An turned his head to look at the people in the courtyard, and found that everything was gone, and the courtyard was back to normal, as if there had been no brutal killings. He sneered and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Your Wu family has the ability to kill the living, but you don't have the ability to kill the dead." ”
"What about our Wu family, I don't think I'm from the Wu family. For me, the Wu family is just the gold and silver in my hands. Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand, and the two eyes on her little face showed indifference. She said to Chen An: "I don't think we can do anything about these evil ghosts, so it's better to go back." Although I didn't get the land back, at least I went back alive, and the people of the Wu family would be afraid of me at least three points from now on. ”
Chen An said, "I'll send you out first." ”
"What about you?" Su Xiaoxiao broke away from Chen An's hand that was about to pull her out and stopped in place.
"Those two things of mine are the treasures of the old dragon king, and ordinary ghost things can't be taken at all. I want to see what is here, that I can take my things. Su Xiaoxiao, go back quickly, you don't have to stay here. ”
Su Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment and said, "It's getting weird here, I shouldn't be able to get out." ”
"I want to stay and stay with you." She bit her lip.
"Okay, Su Xiaoxiao, let's go up first." Chen An looked at Su Xiaoxiao inquiringly. Su Xiaoxiao nodded and followed him to the staircase. Chen An took two steps up and found that there was no sound behind him.
Su Xiaoxiao stood in place, her legs a little weak. On the one hand, of course, it was because of instinctive fear, but on the other hand, she actually identified with these evil ghosts in her heart. She stood there with her head bowed and shivering a little.
After Chen An looked at her for a while, he walked down and picked her up.
The body was suddenly picked up and lifted off the ground, and Su Xiaoxiao chuckled in her heart. She couldn't believe that Chen An would take the initiative to hug her, put her arms around his neck, and looked at his side face blankly.
The first time she saw him, he was sitting on the stone steps, drenched in the rain.
It's like a wounded knight. When Su Xiaoxiao was very young, he met a chivalrous man. He rescued a singer from a green building, picked her up on a horse, and took her to a distant and unharmed place. Where would that place be? Capital? Shangri-La? Su Xiaoxiao didn't know. But she began to look forward eagerly, and she hoped that a knight would carry her on her horse and take her far away.
After getting along, she vaguely knew that this person probably wouldn't take her to hide very far, and he wasn't a chivalrous man. But she still liked him. She's complacent because it's someone she chooses. If she has a pair of parents who love her very much, then she will go up to them and say to them, "I like this person, I want to be with him." ”
It's not someone else who picks her, and it's not her parents who put her on the scales to sell. She herself had a crush on a man. She wanted to kiss him on the forehead, eyebrows, and eyes, like a wife would do to her husband. She was only seventeen years old, and the flame of passion could never be extinguished after it was ignited in the girl's body.
Does Chen An know her thoughts? She was nervous, afraid that he would know, and afraid that he would not know.
Chen An hugged her, and stopped when she passed by the room where Chen Lan had stayed.
The door was open.
He put Su Xiaoxiao down, and the two walked in cautiously. There are also candles lit in this room. Chen An saw the two scrolls hanging on the wall at a glance.
The painting is blank.
On the table, the baggage brought by Chen Lan was still there, it was open, and it was empty.
"What's going on here...... Will there be two paintings? Su Xiaoxiao walked up to the painting and tentatively touched it with her hand. At this time, Chen An quickly pulled her back.
A short knife stabbed out of the scroll.
Knock, knock, knock, footsteps could be heard in the hallway.
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked, and she was even more frightened after hearing this voice. Chen An frowned, took off his outermost clothes, and drew a void talisman with one hand.
Su Xiaoxiao's body sank. Chen An's clothes fell on her body and covered them gently, but she felt that the clothes were heavy.
"You squat here, don't move. This garment will protect you. ”
Su Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in Chen An's clothes, looked into his eyes and nodded without moving.
Chen An looked at her deeply and walked into the corridor. As soon as he went out this time, he had always been fearless, and he gasped.
In the hallway, a man and a woman are walking slowly. They were all dressed in wedding dresses and were clearly a new couple. The two of them each held one end of the red silk cloth, and the large red flowers tied to the red silk swayed among them as they walked. The safflower hung low and was about to fall to the ground. They go very slowly, very slowly. If this scene were in a normal person's house, it would still look good. They will go into the cave and drink a cup of wine, and promise each other for the rest of their lives. However, in such a dimly lit place, their appearance only had an eerie feeling.
When they were about to approach Chen An, they stopped.
The bride wore a red hijab and could not see her expression. The man's face could be seen clearly, with a smile on it.
Chen ...... Orchid. Chen An said the name heavily.
This situation is kind of fascinated by ghosts, right? He should still be alive. Chen An has seen water ghosts. Every night, they go and confuse passers-by, make them do all kinds of incredible things, and then go out into the water themselves. He only spends his days in the sea, and does not like to wander around rivers, because the places are too small, and there are too many swollen corpses in those places.
"When you encounter this kind of person who is fascinated by ghosts, let's wake him up first." Chen An thought so.
He first drew a rune in the void, but the rune that ignited in the air was extinguished again. The spell didn't work for them. In the end, he felt a cross in his heart and went directly to beat Chen Lan.
Chen Lan didn't hide, just stood up straight and let him fight. When Chen An's hand reached next to his lips, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit directly into that hand.
Buckled in Chen An's hand was a pair of poisonous fangs of a snake.
