Chapter 177: Orion
The cold wind blew, and Feng Cheng's fair face was frozen red.
Her eyes are dark and bright, and when she looks at people and speaks, she looks very serious.
"Lu Xuan, I had a strange dream."
Lu Xuan didn't expect the topic to change so quickly, but the other party successfully aroused his curiosity: "What dream?" ”
"I dreamed that my third uncle fell into a pit, the pit was full of rotten peach blossoms, he couldn't climb up alive and ...... crawled, and finally he was drowned by peach blossoms and suffocated"
Lu Xuan listened silently, with a strange expression.
If it weren't for Feng Cheng saying so seriously, he would have suspected that their uncle and nephew would turn against each other.
"As a result, not long after the dream came true, my third uncle disappeared, so I couldn't stop thinking about it."
Seeing her frowning in distress, the corners of Lu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly: "It's useless to think nonsense, since you are worried, find your third uncle as soon as possible." ”
Feng Cheng nodded and looked around.
Tall trees and looming lights are everywhere.
"Let's go, take a look at the people around the mountains and forests." Lu Xuan raised his feet and walked in one direction, and when he saw that Feng Cheng was not moving, he stretched out his hand and pulled her.
Feng Cheng asked curiously, "Why did you go this way?" ”
In this dark mountain forest full of trees, she couldn't even tell the direction.
Lu Xuan quietly let go of his slender wrist and used his calmness to hide the strangeness in his heart: "I have been here to hunt, and I remember that there are a few families not far from the mountains and forests here. ”
Seeing her surprise, he said lightly: "Two or three years ago, I came with my second brother." ”
Speaking of Lu Mo, it was quiet for a while, and the two walked forward silently.
The light in front of him and the sound of footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lu Xuan pulled Feng Cheng to crouch behind a tree and extinguish the lights.
"It's our people." The two of them were very close, and the soft voice rang in their ears, crisp and ticklish.
Lu Xuan quietly moved away and didn't say anything, but he had doubts in his heart: Are Feng Cheng's eyes so good?
At this distance, this light, before he could see the truth, Feng Cheng recognized it as someone from Shangshu Mansion.
After a while, the group approached, and the sound of discussion came.
"I've been looking back and forth twice, but there is still no trace of the third master......"
"Could it not be in the woods?"
"If it's not in the woods, it's even more like looking for a needle in a haystack, where can we find it?"
The steward scolded: "Don't say a few words, find it again!" ”
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Steward, what if you can't find it?" ”
After a moment of silence, the steward's voice sounded: "Then some people continue to look in the forest, and the other part will go to the Jinshui River to have a look." ”
"Then whoever stays in the forest, who goes to the Jinshui River......"
A group of people walked over noisily, and Lu Xuan looked at Feng Cheng fixedly.
Feng Cheng touched his face: "What are you looking at?" ”
"I think Uncle Ling's hobby is quite well-known." Lu Xuan got up, "Let's go." ”
Feng Cheng got up and walked beside him.
The two stepped on the snow and thick dead leaves and walked out of the mountain forest, and the cold wind suddenly became stronger.
Lu Xuan blocked forward, turned his head sideways and asked, "Is it cold?" ”
Feng Cheng's little face turned pale from the cold, and he tugged at the corners of his lips.
It's not nonsense, can you run here at night without being cold?
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait for Feng Jinxi to be right in front of him, and beat Uncle Po, who only knew how to cause trouble.
Lu Xuan took off his cloak and wrapped it around her.
The warmth instantly surrounded people, Feng Cheng grabbed the cloak strap and hesitated, and was reluctant to return it.
Different from the bustling and lively places, after walking out of the mountains and forests, it is dark and only a few lights are scattered.
Lu Xuan's advice sounded in his ears: "The road is slippery, walk steadily." ”
Feng Cheng pointed to the faint light in the distance and asked, "Is it over there?" ”
"Check it out."
The flickering faint light stood out in the dark night, and the two of them hurried there without taking any detours.
Looking closely, you can see that there are more than a dozen houses scattered around, one of which is farther away from the other houses and closer to the direction of the mountains and forests.
There were three or two of them, and the lights of that one were on.
Ordinary people, in order to save lamp oil, often fall asleep at night, at this time the house is still on, nine times out of ten there is something.
"Go to that house." Lu Xuan said in a low voice.
In the empty night, all the sounds seemed very clear, and the two of them subconsciously relaxed their steps.
There are no high courtyard walls, just a simple fence enclosing a small courtyard.
The faint light was shining through the cracks in the fence.
Lu Xuan stood against the fence and stood on tiptoe to look inside.
Feng Cheng also wanted to see it, but the fence was a bit high, and he wanted to see it clearly unless he jumped up.
She simply leaned over to the gap and looked in.
The inside is brighter than the outside, and you can clearly see the long clothesline, the simple chicken coop, and a lot of clutter.
"Do you smell it?" Lu Xuan asked in a low voice.
Feng Cheng sniffed slightly.
It was a faint fishy smell.
Without waiting for her to answer, Lu Xuan said, "This family should be Orion." ”
The smell of fur, the smell of blood, was faint in this cold night, but it could not be concealed.
"Flip in?" Feng Cheng pointed to the tall fence wall.
Lu Xuan shook his head and slapped the wooden door with some strength: "Is there anyone?" ”
After a while, footsteps sounded from far and near, and a voice sounded: "Who?" ”
The voice is rough, and when you hear it, you are not young.
The young man's voice came through the fence wall: "Uncle, I want to inquire about something. ”
There was a moment of silence inside, and the fence door was pulled open.
A strong man stood in the courtyard, vigilantly looking at the people outside the door.
It was clear that it was two teenagers, and his tense body was visibly relaxed.
Lu Xuan was also looking at him, and the afterglow swept in the direction of the opponent's fist, hooking the corners of his lips.
If you guessed correctly, what the other party is hiding behind is a firewood knife.
Feng Cheng also found out.
She and Lu Xuan perceived it from a different angle.
The strong man blocked the doorway like a hill, and the reflected light flashed by.
Whether it was Lu Xuan or Feng Cheng, they didn't find it strange.
If the other party didn't have some support, he wouldn't open the door to two strangers at night.
"What's the matter with you?" The strong man's gaze fell on Lu Xuan's face.
As for Feng Cheng, in his opinion, he was thin and small, and he was still a half-old child.
"Our friend disappeared in the mountains and forests not far away, and I want to ask my uncle if he has seen it."
"Your friends?"
Lu Xuan raised his hand and compared: "Yes, it's about so tall, handsome......"
After listening to his description, the strong man turned slightly sideways: "This friend you are talking about is a bit similar to the person I picked up from the forest during the day, you can come in and take a look." ”
Feng Cheng was surprised.
found the third uncle so smoothly?
There is no heroic hunteress, there is no hearty and beautiful little lady, but she was picked up by a man with five big and three thick?
Although she was surprised, her face remained silent, and she followed the strong man towards the house.
As soon as I walked to the door of the house, a refreshing voice came.
"Dad, who is it so late?"
