Chapter 24 Clues
By the time I got home, it was already dark.
Xiao Rong finished cooking, saw me come back, and brought the food in the pot.
After dinner, Xiao Rong brought me another glass of water.
"Lin Chen, this water is sweetened with honey, you, you taste it," she stretched out her white hand and handed me the water cup.
After taking the water glass, my heart couldn't help but beat faster, and I said hesitantly, "Thank you, Xiao Rong." β
"I am your fiancΓ©e, I should do things for my husband, and don't say anything outside in the future."
Xiao Rong's cheeks are slightly red, and her long eyelashes are curled up with the flow of her eyes.
When she saw me staring at her, there was a little more shyness on her playful face.
"My face, is there something?" She asked, staring blankly at me.
"No," I suddenly came to my senses and realized that I was a little abrupt.
"Really?" Xiao Rong touched the tip of her nose.
"Really, I don't lie to you." I replied.
"By the way," she looked up at me and asked, "Can you ...... Do you want to go out for a walk with me? It's so stuffy in the room. β
"Of course," the weather is very hot, and it is good to stay in the house and not be able to sleep for a while, and it is good to go out for a walk.
"Do you need to talk to the Taixu Daoist?" I sought Xiao Rong's opinion.
She shook her head and said, "My father-in-law doesn't like to be disturbed, so I won't tell him." β
In this way, we followed the path to a wheat field.
A bright moon hung high in the air, and the faint light was like a light veil, fluttering and sprinkling, as if the world was plated with a layer of silver.
Xiao Rong raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky with wide eyes, her immature appearance, like an unworldly little girl.
The breeze is like a cold spring water, mixed with a faint fragrance, rushing towards the face, and the slightest bit is cool.
At this moment, Xiao Rong's playful face was full of smiles
She turned around, a little more sad, and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen such a beautiful moonlight for a long time. β
"Do you want to make lanterns?" I suddenly thought of a game I played as a child.
"Lanterns?" Xiao Rong showed her teeth, a puzzled expression.
"Let's go! Take you to a good place! β
Over the wheat fields, to the foot of the mountain.
Fireflies are flying among the grass, and when you look at it from a distance, it looks like a fairyland on earth.
I broke off a green onion leaf, opened my hand and waved it in the air, catching three or four fireflies.
I carefully placed them in the freshly broken green onion leaves, then knotted them and sealed them.
The light emitted by the fireflies, through the green onion leaves, became brighter and brighter, and in the blink of an eye, it was indeed like a green electric light torch.
Xiao Rong was playing with those fireflies in full swing, and I took the opportunity to hide the "light stick" in my hand and carry it behind my back.
"A gift for you!" I walked up to her and handed her a "light stick" made of fireflies.
She looked at the "light stick" in surprise, and her dark pupils shone brightly.
"Do you like it?" I asked.
"I like it!" She nodded in a daze, and then her eyes became rosy.
Seeing her like this, I was confused, and I wondered what was going on.
"Thank you," Xiao Rong's mouth squeezed out a smile.
I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I had done something wrong and made her angry.
I was about to speak, when suddenly a strong cool breeze rushed in.
In the grass, there was a murmur of rustling.
Suddenly, Xiao Rong's expression tightened, grabbed my arm, and whispered, "Squat down!" β
"What's wrong?" I asked, confused.
She made a shushing gesture, her big watery eyes staring at the swaying grass not far away.
The grass shook violently, and it was clear that something was surging inside.
It can't be a beast, right? My heart was pounding and I felt like I was going to get in trouble again.
"How can you be popular?" Xiao Rong frowned slightly.
Hearing this, my heart fell suddenly, and it turned out to be a false alarm......
It's normal for people and people to be on a big night.
Just as I was letting my guard down, Xiao Rong said three more words: "She's here!" β
Here she comes? My heart thumped.
"Is it the river god?" I asked in a trembling voice.
Xiao Rong nodded.
In an instant, my heart was entangled.
It's just a ghost, and no matter where I go, I can't escape her clutches.
A raging rage boiled in my chest.
At this moment, a human figure jumped out of the grass.
All of a sudden, I was scared.
I looked over a hundredfold, and his face became clearer and clearer in the bright moonlight.
I wish I had seen him somewhere.
Right! A few days ago, when I was taking notes at the police station, I met him, and I clearly remember that he was still wearing a uniform at that time.
How did he show up here at such a late hour?
Xiao Rong held my arm tightly and protected me behind her.
The man seemed to have been chased by a wolfdog, rolling and crawling in the weeds and shouting for help.
"River God, why are you chasing him?" Xiao Rong sighed.
"Chase?" I was taken aback.
"Can't you see he's running for his life?" Xiao Rong's eyes wandered, as if she had thought of something, and continued: "I suspect that he knows something that he shouldn't know, so the river god wants to kill him. β
My brain buzzed, if only he really knew what was going on in Weishui Dragon Village, it would be great!
Perhaps, he is the breakthrough in the case.
"Can you save his life?" I looked at Xiao Rong and asked for her advice.
Xiao Rong was a little hesitant, she was not Mingyun's opponent, if she saved him, she was likely to get into trouble.
But in the end, she nodded and said to me, "Stay here and don't come out no matter what happens!" β
Then, her figure flashed and swept away.
Xiao Rong's speed is amazing, and in the blink of an eye, she has already swept away twenty or thirty meters away.
The moonlight is hazy, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.
The strange aura spreads across the earth, and it is so oppressive that people can't breathe.
My heart rose to my throat, for fear that something would happen to Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong turned into a cloud of black gas, trapped the man, and brought the person to my side with a tornado.
The black gas dissipated, and the man sat on the ground, his eyes wide open, and he saw the two of us, with a blank face.
"If you want to live, keep your mouth shut!" Xiao Rong said coldly.
He covered his mouth with his hands, not daring to make a sound.
Xiao Rong snapped her fingers, and three incense sticks and two candles suddenly appeared on the ground in front of her out of thin air, she turned to me and asked, "Lin Chen, do you have a lighter?" β
I quickly touched my pocket, found that I didn't have it, and then shook my head in a panic.
"IβI have!" The man curled up in a ball beside him shuddered, took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong took the lighter and lit the incense and candles in turn.
Then she crossed the two candles, dug an inch-deep hole in the intersection, and inserted the burning incense into the hole.
Then, she closed her eyes, made a handprint, and muttered strange spells on her thin lips.
"Whew!"
The flame of the candle suddenly turned into an eerie green light.
"Don't move," Xiao Rong retracted her gesture and told the two of us.
I didn't dare to breathe, for fear of exposing my target.
After a long time, seeing that Mingyun didn't chase her, Xiao Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Trace Technique finally tricked her away, and we are safe." β
At this time, I couldn't wait to set my eyes on the auxiliary police officer next to me......
