Ye Ci sat in place and was silent for a while, and after a few minutes, her eyes were already slightly able to adapt to the darkness in the room, she stood up again, followed the little light leaked from the skylight above and slowly walked to the door, lying behind the door, and asked softly, "Who is the person outside?" ”

The people outside the door didn't seem to be ready to speak, so they let Ye Ci lie on the door and ask a few times, but they were still silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Ci was also a little anxious, lowered his head and took out the mobile phone in his bag, wanting to make a call and go out.

It's just that he didn't think that as soon as the phone was taken out and the screen was opened, Ye Ci suddenly smelled a strange gas floating in from outside the door.

Ye Ci panicked in his heart, thinking that if the person who poisoned Yue Lingling at that time did not leave after the incident, but hid in the group of people in the back garden at that time, always paying attention to her movements.

So, after that person learned that he was taken to the study building, would he also repeat his old tricks and poison himself to death while Yue Yao and the others were not there.

Thinking like this, the fear in Ye Ci's heart couldn't help but get even worse, and in a panic, he decided to run to the house quickly, as far away from the gate as possible.

It's just that there is only such a small place in this study building, and it is only the size of a firewood room from beginning to end, Ye Ci retreated with the light of the mobile phone, and soon arrived at the staircase on the first floor.

The staircase may not have been repaired for many years, and every step up there would be a heavy and hoarse creaking sound, listening to the ears of Ye Ci, who was highly nervous at this time, there was really an indescribable discomfort.

Fortunately, there is also a half-meter skylight on the second floor.

The wall next to the skylight was barred by a black cloth, as if something important was placed inside.

Ye Ci walked up step by step, took a deep breath, and reached out to pull away the black cloth hanging from above little by little.

Then, with a "bang", he fell to the ground violently.

I saw that behind the black cloth was a peach wood spring platform about two meters long at this moment.

There were several square black wood spirit tablets on it, and a picture of a woman was enlarged and placed among the spirit cards, as if she had been performed a ritual, and her eyes, mouth and nose were stained with chicken feathers and bright red blood.

And the person in the photo is exactly Liang Mengqiu, who looks exactly like Ye Porcelain.

Ye Ci was so frightened that his legs collapsed in place.

This feeling is a little too weird for her, it is like being a living person, foreshadowing what she will look like after death in advance.

And Liang Mengqiu in that photo is more like she is alive, her eyes are looking at her without moving, like a shadow.

The mobile phone in his hand rang suddenly.

Ye Ci reached out with trembling hands to pick it up, suppressed the huge fear in his heart, and asked, "Hey, hey?" Can you hear me? ”

The person on the other end of the phone looked like Yue Yun, but he couldn't be sure if it was Yue Yun, and the voice came intermittently, which lasted for a long time and finally only turned into a long busy tone.

Ye Ci looked at the mobile phone in his hand, dazed and at a loss.

She didn't know what she could do at this time, and the door downstairs had been opened.

That person may have known that Ye Ci had gone upstairs, and was no longer ready to simply blow poisonous gas into the house, and seeing that there was no one around, he simply walked in directly.

Ye Ci stood up with his body propped up, leaned against the wall next to the spring platform, and shouted to the bottom: "You, who are you!" ”

The people downstairs still didn't answer.

It's just that the footsteps don't stop coming.

Ye Ci listened to the creaking footsteps, and cold sweat had begun to break out on his body.

She looked left and right, knowing that there was no road ahead anyway. With both hands, he stepped on the spring platform behind him, and with the help of the height of the spring platform, he reached out and climbed up the only skylight window sill that led to the outside.

The windowsill of the skylight was very dusty, and when Ye Ci climbed up, the dust fell into her eyes, making her feel a pinprick-like pain.

But the pain also needs to be endured, after all, seeing that the people downstairs have already stepped on the second floor, if she doesn't go out again, she can only let the mermaid flesh.

Ye Ci raised his head to see the person's appearance clearly, but the person's face was surrounded by a big mask, and he was wearing the most ordinary gray-brown overalls of the Yue family's servants, holding a needle in his hand, and he couldn't see his facial features at all.

When the man saw Ye Ci climb up to the skylight, he knew that she wanted to escape, so he immediately ran up quickly to stop her.

Ye Ci closed his eyes and jumped, and slammed out of the window.

She originally wanted to grab the water pipe outside the wall and slide down, but the length of her hand was really not enough, and her whole body fell down, and she reached out indiscriminately, only grabbing a large section of the long stem of the creeper outside the wall.

Ye Ci looked down and found that his height was not too outrageous at this time, thinking that if he could grasp the stem of the tree little by little and move it down, it would not be impossible to go down.

Originally, the person who grabbed her on the second floor saw that Ye Ci did not fall, so he immediately took out the mobile phone in his hand and began to call people.

Ye Ci saw that a servant wearing the same clothes appeared not far away, and he was running towards the place where he was about to land.

Immediately ruthless, he simply jumped down.

My ankle was slightly bent, but it wasn't enough to be unable to walk.

Seeing that the man was also carrying a needle in his hand, Ye Ci immediately stood up and ran to the grass behind him.

She didn't care about looking for a way at this time, she didn't dare to turn back, she simply drilled wherever she could, and she didn't pay attention to the scratches on her body by a passing branch, until she saw a tall wall, as if there was no road anymore, and she gasped and stopped again.

Looking back at the two women dressed as servants who followed him, he asked, "Who are you, and why are you arresting me?" ”

The two women didn't speak, their faces were firmly sealed by masks, and they each held a needle of light red potion in their hands, maybe they were tired from running, and they were also a little out of breath, after listening to Ye Ci's words, they immediately pulled out the needle cover in their hands, and walked towards her step by step with fierce eyes.

Ye Ci stood in place with some despair and shouted, "You, you two madmen! ”

But no one would come at all, and no creature could respond to Ye Ci's cry except to startle a flock of birds in the trees.

She went limp with some weakness, retreating to a place where she could no longer retreat, her eyes were red and swollen, and her mouth was incoherent: "You, why did you kill me?" I don't even know you! You will be punished! ”

The two of them turned a deaf ear, raised their hands and stabbed Ye Ci's body suddenly.

Ye Ci instinctively raised his arm to protect his head, closed his eyes but did not feel the imaginary pain, but felt that his whole body was very light, as if he had been picked up by someone suddenly, and it took a while to cause a burst of dizziness.

She slowly opened her eyes, looked at the person in front of her, and shouted in disbelief: "Dao, Dao Chief? ”

Yang Fangzhai had already taken Ye Porcelain out of the wall at this time, put her on the grass outside the wall, looked at her broken arms and neck, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry I'm late."

Ye Ci looked at the man in front of him in a daze, and for a moment he was in a trance, and asked softly, "How does the Taoist know that I am here?" ”

Yang Fangzhai lowered his eyes as if he didn't want to mention it, and when he looked up and saw Ye Ci still looking at her with a questioning expression, he couldn't help but answer: "It's Xiao Ji who sued me, and it won't be in the future, and in your situation in the future, I must not need others to sue me, Ye Ci, I said, I will protect you."

Ye Ci looked at Yang Fangzhai in front of him a little helplessly, for some reason, he was a little embarrassed, and walked forward silently behind him for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dao Chief, Miss Xia told me, she said, you have a destined wife?" ”

Yang Fangzhai didn't seem to expect that Xia Xiaoji had already told Ye Ci about this, turned around and didn't dare to look at her, coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Then did she sue you, that person should be you?" ”

Ye Ci pursed her lips, looked at her fingers, nodded slightly, and replied: "She, she has said it, but Dao Chief, I, between us"

"Although we have no children, we do have the life of husband and wife."

Ye Ci didn't expect Yang Fangzhai to suddenly say such straightforward words at this time, or rather, in his eyes, the fate of husband and wife is the same as the relationship between father and son, and there is no ambiguity.

"But, but Dao Chief, you, you are a monk, how can you?"

"Didn't the little junior sister sue you, I, like her, am not really a monk?"

Ye Ci was really stunned at this moment, looking at the man in front of him, as if his peerless image suddenly collapsed in his heart, he asked in a dumb voice: "Dao, isn't the Taoist a real monk?" ”

Yang Fangzhai didn't find Ye Ci's surprise, nodded and said: "Although I was born in the Taoist temple since I was a child and grew up in the Taoist temple, the master never let me really convert to the Taoist sect, after all, my cause and effect in this life are not finished, and I am still a person in the world."

Ye Ci listened to his words and couldn't help but feel a little clear.

Although she is not proficient in Taoism, she also has a shallow understanding, knowing that most of them talk about cultivating the fate of reality, and if the cause and effect are not finished in one life, they will still be a catastrophe in one life.

Ye Ci opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but suddenly there was a sound of a car coming behind him.

Ye Ci looked back, only to see Bai Ge getting out of the car and walking over with an anxious face, watching her probe left and right, and asked in a deep voice: "Did the Yue family do anything to you, I said that I wouldn't let you come today, you just won't listen."

Ye Ci didn't expect Bai Ge to suddenly appear here.

It's as if he and Yang Fangzhai both fell from the sky.

smiled, looked at him and said, "I'm fine, I didn't listen to you this time, it's me who is wrong."

When Bai Ge saw her say this, he didn't ask any more, and took her hand and took her to the car.

was stopped by Yang Fangzhai and said: "This benefactor, you have overstepped."

Bai Ge looked at Yang Fangzhai in front of him and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, so he thought about it and replied: "Dao Chief, Ye Ci is my sister, and there is no difference between me and her."

After speaking, I heard Ye Ci's mobile phone ring suddenly.

Ye Ci hooked his head a little embarrassed, picked up the phone under the gaze of the two, and opened his mouth to find that it was Yue Yun.

Yue Yun seemed to be in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Ye Ci, where have you been!" I heard my brother say that grandpa locked you up in the study building? Why didn't I see you when I brought someone over just now? ”

Ye Ci coughed lightly, and replied a little embarrassedly: "I, I'm out now, outside the wall of your house."

"Outside the wall?"

"yes, there's a stone bridge here."

"Stone bridge? I know where you are, don't move, I'll look for you."

Ye Ci just wanted to say no, Yang Fangzhai and Bai Ge were here, and Yue Yun had already hung up the phone on the other end.

Then, in a few moments, his voice came with a piercing voice.

Looking at the two people in front of him, he was still a little gasping when he spoke, and asked, "Why are you two here?" ”

Bai Ge looked at him and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why are we here?" If we weren't here, Ye Ci might be eaten by your Yue family, but I want to ask, why are you here! ”
