Chapter 39: The Phantom of a Rainy Night

The seemingly calm surface of the water, the underwater is unfathomable, and there seem to be countless prying eyes in the darkness, and it seems that there are countless hands, pressing Liansheng down fiercely.

I started choking, gulping and gulping, and there were bubbling blisters in front of me, my nose was so sore, the corners of my eyes began to ache, and my chest was stuffy. Water, water seeps from the mouth, from the ears, from the nose, from the eyes, into the trachea, and then into the stomach and lungs, filling the lobes of the lungs and filling every alveoli.

In his sleep, Liansheng seemed to return to the moment of drowning before the crossing, surrounded by deep water, the more he struggled, the more he sank, his heart was full of panic and terror, the cold lake was a mysterious unknown world, sink down, someone seemed to be beckoning to him in the darkness "Come here, come here, all the truth is underwater, in the deepest part of this deep lake, come on." ”

"Ahh

Awakened from a nightmare, covered in sweat, Liansheng struggled to sit up as she clutched the quilt with both hands. The sound of water! The sound of continuous water! Whoa, whoa, whoa! There is really the sound of water! Liansheng realized that it was raining outside, and the bamboo shadow outside the window was swaying, Liansheng covered his chest and looked at the window, and suddenly a lightning bolt illuminated the room as bright as day. At the moment when the white light split through the darkness, a black shadow flashed in front of the window, and Liansheng couldn't help but shout: "Ah! ”

"Sister, what's wrong with sister?"

Fang Sheng and Qian'er lived next door to Liansheng, and Qian'er woke up from sleeping, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly pulled Fangsheng up and knocked on the door.

Liansheng put on his coat and fumbled to open the door: "I just had a nightmare, and I woke up and saw a dark shadow flashing outside the window. ”

"Outside the window?" Qianji strode into Liansheng's room and pushed open the window, and the raindrops came in instantly, making a muffled sound on the edge of the window. It turned out that there was a small pond not far from the window of this house, and on the shore were a few Taihu Lake stones and dozens of bamboo forests. It was raining heavily outside, and the bamboo forest couldn't stop shaking, so Qianer took a look: "Did you see the bamboo as a human figure?" ”

"No, I woke up from a nightmare, and I heard the rain, and the sound of the water was scary, so I looked out the window, and just as a lightning bolt saw a human figure, I was pretty sure it was a human form, not bamboo."

The layout of this tribute courtyard is like this: the front yard is a place to study, the courtyard in the middle is a dormitory room, in order to accommodate students, a back-shaped corridor, one side is a room, used to be a tribute dormitory, during the examination is the number room, the rooms are of uniform specifications, one room for two people. Gu Lianyong and Chen Huan still live in their original rooms, that is, the two that turned around the corridor. Next door to Liansheng's room lived Fang Sheng and Qian'er, and the guard soldiers brought by Wang Heng lived in a wing room not far from the Gongsheng dormitory, through this Gongsheng dormitory area, and then another door was the professor's accommodation area and the stove room, where lived the two remaining examiners, Yu Shizhao and Wang Heng, of course, Feng Qingshan was also killed in that area. The thatched house in the tight backyard is independent, and you don't have to cross several yards to go to the thatched house, as long as you get out of your own yard and walk to the bamboo forest in the back.

Because it was not in the same courtyard, there was movement on Liansheng's side, and Yu Shizhao and Wang Heng couldn't hear it. At this time, the light flashed at the corner of the corridor, and Gu Lianyong's voice came: "What are you pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night?" ”

"Yes, go see Chen Huan!" Lian Sheng suddenly thought that Chen Huan might be in danger. When Qian'er heard this, he hurriedly ran around the corner, and almost collided with Gu Lianyong, who was holding an oil lamp: "Are you crazy one or two?" Gu Lianyong was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and slammed the door.

Liansheng found the fire sickle from his room, lit a candle, grabbed Fang Sheng's hand, and walked to Chen Huan's side together.

"How?" Liansheng came over and saw that the door was open, Chen Huan was lying quietly on the bed, covered with a quilt, quietly, it seemed that he was sleeping very soundly, the little servant of the Chen family had been called up by Qianer, rubbing his sleepy eyes and muttering, until he saw Liansheng and Fangsheng come in, the little guy Ah Yuan jumped down and asked in surprise: "But what's the matter?" The candle that Lian Sheng was holding shone on the little guy's face, Lian Sheng looked at it carefully, and under the dim candlelight, the little guy Ah Yuan looked dazed, looking like he didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Your son-in-law has been sleeping peacefully?"

"Yes, Childe ate and drank some mung bean water and went to sleep."

"You don't see anything strange."

Liansheng asked in a low voice.

"In the middle of the night, this adult kicked the door open, and the little one was startled, there was nothing stranger than the adults are now."

"Kicking the door? Did you kick the door? ”

Qian'er nodded, and Lian Sheng said: "No, this Chen Huan is a human being, not a pig, why didn't he wake up after kicking the door so much." ”

When Qian'er heard this, he rushed to the side of the bed to probe Chen Huan's breathing: "Have gas, live." ”

Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that maybe he was dazzled, maybe the black shadow was a soldier who was patrolling the night?

Liansheng thought like this, and felt a little embarrassed to toss people in the middle of the night, so he put down the candlestick on the table and said, "Your name is Ah Yuan, right?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Just now I seemed to see a figure flashing in front of the window, so I was worried that I would come to see your son-in-law and disturb your rest."

"Don't bother, the little one feels less, it's the middle of the night, and the little one should get up like this." Na Ayuan looked not very old, handsome, and looked quite old when he spoke and did things, Liansheng nodded: "Okay, then take good care of your son-in-law." ”

Liansheng took Fang Sheng's hand and walked out, Qianer followed out, Fang Sheng shook Liansheng's sleeves and whispered: "Sister, I forgot to take the candle." ”

Liansheng smiled and whispered, "Shhhh ”

Turning the corridor, Liansheng stood and turned to look at the darkness ahead, and Fangsheng asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you." Liansheng lightly counted the numbers: "1, 2, 3, 4......" and then pointed to Qianer: "Qianer, the candle forgot jì, you go and ask for the candle." ”

Qian Erxin said, this is all about to go to their respective rooms, go back to the room to sleep directly, why do you have to get candles, but he has always only done things and not spoke, and when he heard the words, he could only go back in resignation, Liansheng followed in a very low voice: "Don't knock on the door!" ”

When Fang Sheng heard this, he only felt that the hairs on his body were going to stand up in an instant, the rain outside was really heavy, booming, splashing, and the conversation between the three people was covered by the rain without leaking the slightest.

"Sister, is it ......" Fang Sheng clenched Liansheng's hand, and Liansheng comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, that little guy has a problem, and Qian'er can handle it alone." ”

At this time, Qianer heard Liansheng say don't knock on the door, he already understood a little in his heart, and came to Chen Huan's door quietly at the fastest speed, and then split out with a palm, and pushed the door open, only to see that the candle in the room was still on the table, Ah Yuan sat at the head of Chen Huan's bed, half of his body hid in the shadow of the tent, his expression was obscure, he was obviously surprised by Qianer's return and return, and stood up: "You ......"

Qianer rushed over and directly pointed at his acupuncture point, and then searched out a slender silver needle from his hand, at this time Liansheng and Fangsheng had already walked, Qianer pinched the silver and said to Liansheng: "Girl, I just came in and saw a silver light flashing, and he has a long needle in his hand." ”

"Is it poisonous?"

"Non-toxic, it should be for acupuncture, what do you do with the needle? Do you want to help your son-in-law with treatment? “

Although Ah Yuan's whole body can't move, it's no problem to listen to people's words, and her eyes lit up when she heard this, if she could move, she must have tried to nod her head.

"Is it that kind? Qianer, where was he sitting with a silver needle when you came in just now? ”

"Here." Qian'er pointed to the head of the bed, which was exactly where Chen Huan's head was. Lian Sheng then asked: "Qian'er, you are an expert in poisoning, so since Chen Huan is poisoned, for the diagnosis and treatment of poisoned people, is there a treatment method that requires acupuncture and moxibustion on the head?" ”

"An antidote pill is sufficient, it doesn't require acupuncture, and this method is even more unheard of."

"That is, this little servant of the Chen family, Ah Yuan, I guess he wanted to stab Chen Huan's head with a silver needle, right? It was dark in the room, he was cautious, he didn't dare to light the lamp indoors, but my candle gave him light, of course, he had to fight quickly, am I right? Miss Xiangguan? ”

Liansheng spoke close to Chen Ayuan's ear, and the little guy of the Chen family, when he heard the word Xiangguan, his eyes turned to Liansheng, full of resentment.

Qian'er brushed away the hair on Chen Huan's head, looked at it and asked the little guy: "Do you want to pierce into the Baihui acupoint and let him sleep silently?" ”

There was such a big commotion, a brocade guard who had been monitoring this room had to show up, he was only ordered to monitor, and he couldn't expose himself without suspicious circumstances, so when Qianer rushed over and kicked the door for the first time, he only observed in the dark and did not show up, and now when he heard this, he came out from the dark to meet Qianerdao: "My subordinates have seen Lord Zongqi." ”

"Go and inform the commander, just say that there is a problem with this Chen family." Jinyiwei took the order and left, the little servant of the Chen family was already dead at this moment, Liansheng sighed lightly: "Although this Chen Huan is romantic, but his sin is not to death, why do you have to kill people and kill people." Could it be, could it be that he actually knows you? ”

Qian'er patted the little guy's body, and the upper half of the little guy's body could move, and she spat at Liansheng: "It's my bad luck to fold it in your hands, if I want to kill you, I won't say anything." ”

"It's stubborn." Lian Sheng shook his head: "You don't hesitate to put your innocent body on the line in order to kill someone, why is this painful?" ”

"Innocence? Innocent? Ha ha! There is no innocence. The little guy seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and couldn't help laughing, and the laughter gradually became sour, and finally it was like a cry, which was particularly infiltrating in the dark night.

Gu Lianyong's room was separated from Chen Huan a few rooms, and there was a lot of noise here, so he had to come over with a horse lantern in his clothes: "What happened?" Cousin, how is my cousin? ”

Qian'er patronized to listen to Liansheng's questioning, and when he saw Gu Lianyong rushing over, he remembered to see Chen Huan's situation, Qian'er pointed his finger on Chen Huan's wrist, and at the same time signaled Gu Lianyong not to move, and said after a while: "The breathing is steady and the pulse beats strongly, he should have taken some comatose medicine, and it is not a big problem, and sleeping for a while will also help him recover." ”

Liansheng also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this little guy only secretly gave Chen Huan some sleeping medicine, and did not poison people again.

At this time, Yu Shizhao and Wang Heng had already rushed over. Rao is martial arts skills are not low, and when they walked here, their clothes were also a little wet, Yu Shizhao took off his temporary cloak and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Wang Heng shouted loudly: "Is the kid of the Chen family dead?" ”

"My lord, there is really something wrong with this little guy."

Liansheng pointed to Chen Ayuan, who was standing there with the lower half of his body unable to move.

"Really? Didn't you search it? Yu Shizhao looked at Qianer: "You didn't find it?" Qian'er honestly reported: "When his subordinates searched, they paid attention to the clothes and food he carried, and they didn't find any problems. ”

"Silver needle?" Yu Shizhao took the silver needle: "This is trying to stab people to death?" ”

"When his subordinates came in, he sat at Chen Huan's head, and the silver light flashed in his hand, presumably trying to penetrate the Baihui acupoint and make Chen Huan gradually die in his sleep."

"It's a vicious way. Aren't you out watching? Why didn't you find anything out of the ordinary? Yu Shizhao pointed to the brocade guard who reported the news.

"My subordinates have been monitoring outside the door, but they have not found any sound, because of the heavy rain tonight, my subordinates have not been able to open the tiles to see the situation inside the house. Later, his subordinates were in a hurry, and it was convenient to go to the lotus pond, but they accidentally attracted the Qianzong Banner to ......"

"Oh, it's you who flashed in front of my window." Liansheng suddenly realized.

"It's a subordinate."

"Bastard, it's convenient for you to run to someone's girl's window, it's really damned."

Yu Shizhao slapped the brocade guard on the neck, and the brocade guard was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head: "The subordinate is convenient at the rockery, not in front of the girl's window." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about these little things later, Deputy Envoy Gu, how did you find out that there is something wrong with this little guy."

Wang Heng didn't want to dwell on the details, so he asked directly about the key places.

"This is the sensitivity of being a woman."

Liansheng's words made everyone strange, Yu Shizhao and Wang Heng looked at each other and didn't believe it: "Just based on this, you can conclude that he has a problem?" ”

At this moment, Liansheng's demeanor suddenly changed, Yu Shizhao and others came with horse lanterns, a few horse lanterns were placed on the table, the room was as bright as day, everyone only looked at Liansheng's face was red, she took a deep breath and said as if she had made up her mind: "I smell a faint smell of blood on him, and that smell is very familiar." ”

"But isn't there no wound on Chen Huan's body?" Wang Heng felt strange.

"Ahem, ahem." When Yu Shizhao heard this, he covered his mouth with his hand and pretended to cough. Qianji's demeanor was also a little unnatural.

Lian glanced at Yu Shizhao angrily: "It's the kind of smell that women have every month." ”
