Chapter 9: Death Haning
The night was getting deeper, and Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyou, who were sleeping across the line because they were too tired, both let out a slight snoring sound.
The surroundings are very quiet, people are asleep, everything is quiet, occasionally there are insects chirping, it is very clear, no one is still soaking in the hot springs at such a night.
Suddenly, there was a slight thumping sound in the hallway, and a long black shadow appeared on the window, with a faint orange light.
"Tsk, if you are asleep, then you won't be dragging down the master, and you can go on an adventure." The window paper of the hotel was very thin, and it would break when he poked, Zhu Jingcheng triumphantly withdrew his eyes from the hole, then shook the tools in his hand and turned around.
For this mysterious Guanyin Island, he has long been interested, and he has observed during the day, all the girls here are pure, and those vulgar fans in the capital cannot be compared.
The master said, the most important thing to look at the top of the person is to look at the eyes, born from the heart, this is reasonable, if a person is not good-hearted, the eyes will be cloudy, the face will be treacherous, of course, some people will disguise, but in the people who understand the Tao, it is useless, a poke will break.
Zhu Jingcheng loves to play and doesn't like poetry, books and historical scriptures, but he has a lot of research on sophistication, and the Gu technique of the man in gorgeous clothes that day made him worry about it.
There are so many mysteries on this island that it's worth the trip!
He picked up the lantern and carefully descended the wooden staircase.
At this time, there seemed to be a breeze in the air, with a sweet taste, Zhu Jingcheng took a deep breath and stepped on the last kick.
"Click." The voice was not loud, but Lin Xiaoyou was awakened. "Who!" She quickly got up and shouted, because there was doubt in her heart, she did not sleep deeply, only a light sleep, and a small voice could wake up.
Su Yan also woke up.
"I actually fell asleep." He was annoyed, tomorrow was autumn, and he was going to go out to the island to investigate, so he tidied up his clothes and walked to the window to look at the sky, and looked at the position of the moon, and it seemed that the hour had passed. "It's nothing." He looked around, and everything was normal.
"What is this?" Lin Xiaoyou suddenly stepped forward and pushed him away, pointed to the small hole in the window paper and asked.
"It's ...... Someone! Su Yan also found a small hole, he was shocked, his face changed drastically, he was peeping at him when he was asleep and didn't know it, how dangerous this is, if that person has the heart, he can kill them directly.
Too careless!
"It's ...... Not good! Lin Xiaoyou lowered her head and sniffed, her face also changed drastically, she didn't stop and pushed open the door and rushed out, came to Zhu Jingcheng's room, knocked on the door, no one answered, Su Yan also came to bang on the door at this time, and when she entered, she found that the room was empty, and the quilt was scattered on the bed.
"He's not here." Lin Xiaoyou bit his lip, where will Zhu Jingcheng go at this time, has he forgotten Ah Youduo's words - don't go out at night, perhaps, it was because of this sentence that the curious Zhu Jingcheng left his partner and went to investigate alone.
Or does he not think they are in this group at all?
Su Yan saw a cup of tea on the table, he touched it with his hand, found it warm, and said, "This guy just left, do you want to chase it?" After saying that, he paused, and said a little unnaturally. How did you know he was gone? ”
With the hole that Zhu Jingcheng's finger poked?
Psychic?
"Most of the people of the royal family are accustomed to using incense, and the one on his body is especially valuable, it is the best ambergris, and the smell has its own uniqueness, so I can be sure that it is him, he came to see if we were asleep when he left, and then left." They lived on the second floor, Lin Xiaoyou lit a lantern and came to the staircase to check: "There are footprints here." ”
Su Yan said: "I see. Then he lowered his head, and sure enough, he could clearly see the mud footprints.
"Zhu Jingcheng loves to play, and he went to the woods before going to bed, so his shoes were stained with a lot of mud." He crouched down and measured his fingers. "It's his." This guy has the size of his feet, and he can still visually inspect it.
Lin Xiaoyou and Su Yan slowly descended the stairs and walked to the last second step, and they found that the footprints were suddenly gone! Will Zhu Jingcheng be fun-loving so he jumped? But the two found no trace on the gravel road below.
What's going on?
The first reason that came to mind was that Zhu Jingcheng might have been controlled by someone, so he couldn't walk.
That's not good.
After a short discussion, the two decided to immediately go to find Zhu Jingcheng, no matter what, if he died and disappeared in vain, he would not be able to live, and cutting off his head was just a knife effort, but the angry emperor would probably use ten tortures against them.
Leaving the hot springs, a lot of fields gradually appeared on the side of the road, and at this time, the moon could not be seen in the sky, and the stars in the sky were shining like broken diamonds in the dark sky, "It's so beautiful!" Lin Xiaoyou couldn't help but admire, the people here live on agriculture, and gradually felt that there was a sweet fragrance in the wind, they were everywhere, making people feel happy.
It's probably some kind of flower.
All the way, he almost didn't speak to Su Yan.
"Du Ruo!" There was a voice from behind, but it was Su Yan. "Are you really Du Ruo?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoyou was surprised, since that time, he almost didn't take the initiative to talk to himself, what's wrong, "Yes, it's not." "The body is, the mind is not.
"I know you say that, I mean, what do you think of this identity? You ......" seemed to be careful about the word, and he broke off for a long time before he said. "Do we really have to go on with our lives as arranged in the book? But will change bring bad ...... Finale? Su Yan seems to be a thoughtful person, he is always looking for an optimal solution, but he doesn't know that this will also lose many opportunities.
It's like an old pedant in a laboratory, always doing things in the safest way.
Lin Xiaoyou is an attacker: "I don't know, but I know that only by climbing the cliff can you see the beautiful sunrise, what do you say?" Su forensics. She deliberately used modern words, and at this point the two seemed to be two modern forensic doctors discussing the topic of the dissertation, rather than searchers on the ridge.
"Well, probably." Su Yan lowered his head, as if he was considering.
As if it appeared suddenly, there was a sound of rushing water not far away, and it was very big, as if being guided, the two of them crossed a small slope, turned the corner, and saw a cliff with a big drop, the clear water fell quickly from the cliff, stirring the splash, the fragrance of flowers in the air was very strong, much richer than the hotel.
Lin Xiaoyou looked up, you can see many torches lit on the cliff, and it is also very bright in the night sky, this waterfall is the only waterfall on Guanyin Island, because there is a piece in the middle that protrudes like a small bowl, the water will flow through the small bowl, and then fall into the pool, the locals call it Wankou Spring.
It is said that it is connected to Guanyin Spring, and tomorrow's autumn season will also kick off here.
But at this time, at the mouth of the bowl, you can see a figure hanging upside down in the water curtain, swaying from side to side, under the light of dozens of torches, the shadow is sufficient, exuding a terrifying feeling.
"Won't it?" Su Yan opened his mouth, his voice trembling.
"No!" Lin Xiaoyou interrupted him, speaking resolutely. "Let's go up!"
