245. 242: Persistence is hard to extinguish
"Miss, will he go out and talk nonsense about your news, isn't that prince looking for you?" Walking out of the restaurant, Ah Liu asked uneasily.
Tang Li smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, he probably doesn't even remember what he said just now, how can he still remember me?" β
A few people walked to the gate of the city with a smile, and they were about to leave the city after such a stroll, Amu reminded a few girls who had forgotten to look at the road after chatting: "Let's go back." β
Tang Li was foaming at the mouth with Hua Yuying about the incident of Cao Zhengyang in Liangcheng, and forgot to look at the road for a while, the city gate was wide open, and there were many people coming in and out one after another, Tang Li saw a man wearing a water-blue dress, and his back was very similar to Nangong Jue, just when she wanted to rush up, that person turned around and destroyed her illusions.
How could Nangong Jue grow so frustrated!!
"What's wrong?" Tang Li's suddenly stunned demeanor caught Amu's attention, and he asked with concern.
"No," Tang Li retracted her gaze, she suddenly remembered the wonderful feeling of being by the river below the cliff, as if Nangong Jue was really on the other side, Tang Li couldn't help but drink a little bit of wine when she was eating just now, and now she was a little drunk, and her mind was not very clear.
"What?" Ah Liu and Hua Yuying asked in unison, Tang Li just said that she wanted them to go back first, and she wanted to go out of the city to play......
"You guys go back first!" Tang Li persuaded.
Amu refused: "No, where you want to go, we can also accompany you." β
Tang Li herself didn't know where she wanted to go, and she didn't want anyone to accompany her now, "I'll just go out for a while, you guys go back." β
After fighting and fighting, there was no result, and in the end, Tang Li's one-person trip became a four-person line, and Amu followed Tang Li to a shore port, and asked a boatman for a boat, not knowing what to do.
"Sister, where are you going?" Hua Yuying sat on the boat and asked Tang Li, who was hurriedly at the helm, Tang Li did not say that she wanted to go to Nangong Jue on impulse, but laughed dryly: "Look at the scenery!" β
The crowd was speechless.
This shore mouth has also been near Nangong Jue, but Tang Li will not know.
In fact, it is very dangerous to rush into the river like this, even if it changes the sky, it can make the situation very dangerous, because Tang Li and none of them can be skilled at the helm, but fortunately, today's river is calm, the water and sky are very beautiful, and there is nothing Tang Li is worried about.
After the boat traveled for a while, she couldn't tell the direction a little clearly, and Tang Li's sense of direction was not very good, so she had to keep asking Amu if she remembered the direction of the ghost house. Amu didn't know what Tang Li was going to do, but he was definitely not looking at the scenery, but since he had already accompanied her, he didn't need to ask so much.
The waterway is much faster than the land route, and with the smooth wind and water today, Tang Li actually saw the river bank under the cliff in the evening, and the huge rock and the cave of the thousand-year-old python are symbols.
After seeing the riverbank, Tang Li shouted excitedly, and then turned around and walked to the opposite side of the riverbank, Hua Yuying was a little seasick, lying on the boat and humming and asking, "Sister, aren't we going back tonight?" β
"There's no going back." Tang Li scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Will Wuyang Gongzi be worried, we didn't say that we wouldn't go back." Aliu also said.
"With Amu here, he will rest assured." Tang Li actually felt that he was reckless, but he had already arrived here, and it was not the same to return? It's better to confirm the conjecture in your heart that day.
There is no central trust for hundreds of miles, but Tang Li, you can always trust Amu, right?
In the middle of the night, the boat stopped on the shore, it seemed that there was a shore here nearby, it was getting late and late, Tang Li didn't dare to float on the river anymore, she got off the boat carefully, and then reached out to help Ah Liu down, Hua Yuying also got off the boat in a drowsy state, looking at the dark in front of her in a daze.
What is the small dark courtyard in front of you? Tang Li looked at the hazy outline of the house not far away, could it be that there were really people living here?
"It looks so eerie here." After Hua Yuying sobered up a little, she muttered to Tang Li in a low voice.
Tang Li also knew that this place was gloomy, but it was very likely that they would have to rest here for the night tonight.
Ah Mu walked in the front, Ah Liu and Hua Yuying walked in the middle, and Tang Li walked at the back, she kept looking around, gray and misty, with night fog, she couldn't see clearly, vague Cheng dΓΉ was comparable to the first time she saw the ghost house.
The river in the yard is very close, Tang Li and they quickly walked in, the lantern hanging at the gate of the yard has been extinguished, no wonder it is so dark, the houses here seem to be made of bamboo and wood, some faint cyan, and there seem to be some clothes hanging in the middle of the yard.
"Anyone?" Tang Li shouted quietly.
The courtyard was silent, there was no response, only the night breeze blew quietly.
"Is there anyone?" Tang Li raised her voice and asked again, and after her voice fell, she heard a trace of movement on one side of the courtyard, but it quickly disappeared.
"Sleeping so dead?" Tang Li was a little scared in her heart, and couldn't help muttering, Amu carefully protected her behind her, that posture was like a hen protecting chickens, Aliu next to her silently looked away, she admitted that she was a little envious, but it was by no means jealousy, she was just a latecomer, Tang Li and Amu had experienced a lot of things recently.
Tang Li took out the torch that Baili Wuyang gave her from her arms, fortunately she had one with her, and she said to Amu: "Amu, take down that lantern." β
"Hmm." Amu took off the lantern with a slight leap, and then handed it to Tang Li.
There is still oil in the oil lamp in the lantern, it seems that there must be people living in this courtyard, but why can't you wake up? Tang Li lit the lantern, and then took it in his hand and looked around.
At this time, there was a sound from the side of the courtyard again, Tang Li immediately listened with bated breath, not daring to move at all, after all, this is a strange place, and if you don't want to die, you have to be cautious.
"It seems that there is a voice...... "Aliu's voice trembled a little.
"Shh~" Tang Li carefully made a gesture at Ah Liu, who nodded and stopped making a sound.
Amu said to Tang Li: "I'll go over there and have a look, you guys wait here." β
"I'll go with you, it's not safe." Tang Li hurriedly said, her intuition was that it was very strange over there, if someone got up, then how could it be intermittent and not come out for half a day?
Just knew that there was an unknown danger there, so Amu didn't want Tang Li to follow, he shook his head lightly, his eyes were a little gentle: "You wait for me here." β
Tang Li didn't pay attention to Amu's eyes, but Aliu noticed that her fear just now was replaced by bitterness at this time, and instead became the most calm-looking one among the three, Tang Li was a little surprised, why was Aliu so bold all of a sudden? Stand there with a calm posture.
The side where the strange noise occurred seemed to be a room, the door was closed tightly, Amu carried the lantern Tang Li gave him, stretched out to the front and took a closer look, the door was moving, as if someone was pushing inside.
A low voice came from the room, but it sounded strange, not like the voice of a normal person, and Amu vigilantly grasped the sword at his waist.
"Amu?" Tang Li saw Amu standing there, motionless and seemed to be very vigilant, and couldn't help but shout out with some worry.
"Miss, shall we go over and have a look?" Ah Liu said softly, she cared about Amu no less than Tang Li's, although Amu did not respond to her feelings in the slightest, and always regarded her as a friend.
Tang Li and the three of them walked lightly to Amu's side, Amu didn't pay attention to Tang Li's coming, just stared at the constantly vibrating door.
"Let's get out of here." Amu felt Tang Li coming over, he said solemnly, Tang Li also saw the door that kept moving, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, so he nodded: "Let's go." β
"Bang!" Just as Tang Li and the others turned around, the door was slammed open, making a loud noise, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.
A strange smell also rushed out, a very strong smell of medicine, Tang Li almost wanted to vomit, the smell of medicine was too weird, she turned her head to look, and after seeing the things behind her clearly through the lantern, she was speechless, isn't this similar to the group of living dead people who came out of Baili Wuyang?
How can so many people in this world like this kind of trick?
"Ahh Hua Yuying screamed in fright, she directly connected the two things in front of her who were not human or ghosts with the Baili Wuyang she saw for the first time, and it was the rhythm of being chased?
"Hurry up and get out!" Amu pulled Ah Liu and rushed outside, because only Ah Liu's mobility was the weakest, Tang Li and Hua Yuying could at least do some kung fu, and they would also do light work, he had to take care of Ah Liu first, but he didn't know that Ah Liu had a ripple in his heart because of his natural action, and the warmth he inadvertently gave made her a little infatuated.
It's haunted! Tang Li lamented in her heart, there were so many strange things she had encountered, what evil had she created......
Those were the two people who were used by Nangong Jue to test the medicine, Tang Li was shocked when she saw the first person clearly, she ran a few steps slower, and asked Amu who was pulling Ah Liu to run back: "Isn't he the guard?" β
Amu didn't understand what Tang Li meant for a while, but when he took a serious look at the face of the "person" who followed behind him, it seemed that he was really a little familiar, as if it was the person who interrogated them fiercely when they entered the capital?
"How so?" Amu was confused, why was that guard here? And it's what it is now.
"Hehe ......" The two living corpses still made strange noises in their mouths, approaching them, Tang Li and Amu didn't care about thinking about what was going on, let's find a way to escape first, Baili Wuyang has also fed this kind of thing, it is said that if she is bitten, she will be poisoned, she is really in tears, and her impulse hurt Ah Liu and them.
