Jin Wuxi slanted, and Liyang and his party finally arrived in the town before dark. Because of the cold weather, the people did not rush by starry night.

After eating, Bai Zhi excitedly told everyone that she felt her cousin's breath again, and she found that they were getting closer and closer, and she believed that they would be able to meet soon.

Lu Bufan, Ning Yuan, Xue Ning and Hongyu congratulated her a few words, Liyang's eyes were obscure, and Ruan Xiangtian was still expressionless.

At night, because Bai Zhi was about to see her cousin, her excitement did not dissipate for a long time, and she couldn't sleep over and over again.

"You don't move anymore, sleep well. Perhaps, when you wake up, you'll be able to see your cousin. Ruby said impatiently.

Bai Zhi didn't hear the dissatisfaction in Hongyu's tone, but instead excitedly discussed with Hongyu what kind of person her cousin was about to meet.

"You've never seen him?" Ruby asked in surprise.

"Yes, so I'm going to prepare well for our first meeting," Bai Zhi thought about it seriously and said, "Be cheerful." ”

Hongyu didn't know what to say at all, she came out to find a cousin she had never seen before, and she hadn't found anyone to accompany her, it was just terrible.

"None of you have seen it. So what should you do if he doesn't recognize you? ”

"No, we can sense each other. As long as he senses me, that's fine. Bai Zhi replied innocently.

Hongyu looked at the dark night sky and sighed silently in her heart, she probably wouldn't understand the complexity of people's hearts. Seeing that she was so happy, Hongyu didn't splash her cold water. Moreover, she didn't know much about their merman, maybe that person already knew about the existence of Bai Zhi.

"Well, don't think about it anymore. You close your eyes now and get some sleep and the time passes quickly. If you keep your eyes open, you'll have to wait a long time. ”

"Uh-huh. Sister Hongyu, thank you, I'll sleep now. ”

After a while, the sound of even breathing came from Bai Zhi's bed.

The corners of Hongyu's mouth twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi slept so fast, which made her a little suspicious that she had done it on purpose before. However, this is not the time to chase the price, Hongyu yawned, closed her eyes, and let herself sink into sleep.

Bai Zhi got up early in the morning, and when she saw movement from Hongyu's side, she said in a cheerful tone: "Sister Hongyu, you're awake." ”

Hongyu was startled, and immediately clutched her chest and told herself that it was just a dream, it was just a dream.

"Sister Hongyu, what's wrong with you?"

"I had a nightmare."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi walked a few steps quickly and arrived in front of Hongyu.

Hongyu looked at her with a puzzled expression, and when she saw her stretch out her hands, Hongyu subconsciously dodged back.

"Sister Hongyue, don't be afraid, this is the way my mother told me." As she spoke, she put her index finger on Ruby's temple, "Just press on your temple and the nightmare will be gone." ”

After a while, Bai Zhi stopped what she was doing, looked at Hongyu, and said expectantly, "Sister Hongyu, are you still having a nightmare?" ”

“…… It's gone, thank you. ”

Bai Zhi suddenly blossomed, and soon she restrained the expression on her face, and earnestly told Hongyu, "Sister Hongyu, you must remember this method, and you can come by yourself in the future." ”

Hongyu said perfunctorily: "I see." "If she doesn't come, maybe she'll forget. But she dangled in front of her early in the morning, and now it was impossible for her to forget the image she had seen in her dreams of her being bled in her dreams.

Hongyu pressed her temples, not as comfortable as Bai Zhi, and she still hadn't forgotten those terrible pictures.

"Sister Hongyu, it's time to eat, let's go."

"You go down first, I'll clean up a bit."

"Okay."

However, when Hongyu went downstairs, she didn't see Bai Zhi at the dinner table.

Although Hongyu felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't take it to heart, maybe she went to the toilet. Each time, she took longer than the others.

Ning Yuan kept giving Lu Bufan a look, and Lu Bufan replied to him, "You are worried, why don't you ask yourself?" '' eyes.

Ning Yuan glanced at the red jade that was chewing slowly and eating the bun, swallowed his saliva, and then put his eyes on Lu Bufan, you two are more familiar, he gave him a firm look.

Lu Bufan glanced at Ning Yuan and said softly, "Red jade." ”

Hongyu took the bun and looked up at him, "What are you doing?" ”

"What about Bai Zhi, why hasn't she come down yet?" Lu Bufan asked.

Hongyu looked around and said in surprise, "She...... Didn't you go to the toilet? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were drawn to the past.

"What do you mean by that?" Ning Yuan couldn't be scared anymore, and hurriedly asked.

"She came down before I came down." Ruby whispered.

Ning Yuan got up instantly and rushed upstairs with a bun.

Lu Bufan was still looking at Hongyu, "Are you sure she came down before you came down?" ”

Hongyu nodded hurriedly, "Sure, she told me before she went downstairs." Then she went out, and I thought she had gone downstairs. ”

Lu Bufan turned his head to look at Liyang, and saw that his eyebrows were frowning, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Lu Bufan suddenly became nervous, Bai Zhi should not have been taken away by that person named Chu Jie.

In this moment's effort, Ning Yuan had already searched all their rooms, and he only found a note, but Bai Zhi was nowhere to be found.

Bai Zhi wrote on the note that she had been bothering everyone for too long and could not continue to trouble them. She sensed that her cousin was getting closer to her, and she decided to go to him alone. Finally, she wished them all the best in their journey south.

"Brother Lu, we have to go find her." Ning Yuan said in a trembling voice. It's too dangerous outside, just one person can trick her, and Chu Jie is chasing her. On top of that, she didn't bring money out at all.

Hongyu blamed herself for not discovering Bai Zhi's abnormality in time, so she didn't object to Ning Yuan's words. If she is caught by Chu Jie, then everything in her dream is very likely to become a reality.

Lu Bufan looked at Ning Yuan with some embarrassment, their primary purpose was to find a departure. Although Bai Zhi was saved by Liyang, compared to Liyan, she was afraid that she would ......

"She should have only been gone for a short time, and we will chase it now, and it will be too late." Liyang said in a deep voice.

Although Lu Bufan was expressionless, he was shocked in his heart, Liyang would give up the existing clues for Bai Zhi, this ...... It's a bit unusual.

"Let's go." Ruan Xiangtian said in a deep voice.

Bai Zhi has only been ashore for a few days, and she still doesn't know much about human affairs. Although she remembered erasing her traces of the inn, she forgot that people outside could see her.

A few people went out to inquire, and several people saw her, and they were very enthusiastic to point out the direction for them.

When they followed the path pointed out by everyone and arrived at their destination, several people's faces were a little unpleasant.

Although the river is not frozen yet, the temperature is already very low.

"Sharks, you can swim in the river, right?" Ruby asked cautiously.

"Yes." Lu Bufan replied.

Ning Yuan worried: "She must be very cold, we have to find her as soon as possible." ”

She ...... It's not human, so don't look at her with the eyes of a person. Lu Bufan patted Ning Yuan's shoulder and said.

Ning Yuan suddenly lost his voice, yes, she is not human, and he always forgets this.

"At least we now know which way she's going, and we're going to chase it now. Maybe we'll be able to meet her cousin when she finds her. ”

Liyang stared at the river for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go." ”

Before leaving, they notified Cheng An and a few people, and they did this before they went on the road.

The group went all the way north along the river, but found no trace of Angelica dahurica.

This made Ruby wonder if they were mistaken. Even if Bai Zhi is not human, but now that the river is bitterly cold, she should not be able to stand the temperature inside.

While Ruby was still hesitating to speak her mind, they finally took a turn for the better.

Not far ahead, by the river, a lot of people gathered. People were looking into the river, their faces full of curiosity.

Lu Bufan's heart tightened, could it be that Bai Zhi came ashore from here and was caught again.

Ning Yuan had the same idea as him, he immediately sped up and rushed in the direction of the crowd.

Soon, the crowd came to the place where the crowd had gathered.

Ning Yuan grabbed the white-bearded old man at the back and asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you looking at here?" ”

The old man glanced at him, pursed his lips, and immediately turned his head again.

Ning Yuan wanted to hit someone angrily, he just asked a question, he didn't answer, and rolled his eyes at him, what was going on.

Lu Bufan stopped him in time, and led him to another location, found a middle-aged man with an honest appearance, and asked this question again.

The middle-aged man happily told them that a group of people had fished out a person in the river before. A few people came to catch treasures, and everyone else came to see the excitement.

"Is that man a man or a woman, do you see?" Ning Yuan said anxiously.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "They left early when I came, and I heard about it too." ”

Lu Bufan sighed in his heart, in this way, it is even more impossible for him to tell the appearance and clothing of those people.

"Excuse me, who was the first to find out?"

The middle-aged man searched the crowd, pointed to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy standing by the river, looking at the river, and said, "I saw it when I was catching fish in the small forest of Lao Litou's family. ”

Lu Bufan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

"Everyone is watching the fun, no thanks."

It took a lot of effort for Lu Bufan to finally squeeze into the crowd and find Xiaolinzi.

After Lu Bufan's unremitting persuasion, and after he promised to give him a tael of silver, Xiao Linzi finally followed Lu Bufan out of the crowd.

Lu Bufan took out some broken silver and said, "Can you tell us in detail about how you found them?" With all said and done, it's all yours. ”

When he saw the silver, the child's eyes lit up, and he immediately told them what he knew, like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

About an hour earlier, he had been called by his father to catch fish in the river.

On the way, he saw men on tall horses, six on horseback, and one on chariot. As for whether there was anyone in the car, then he didn't know. The dress is very magnificent, and the people are also very spiritual.

At first, he thought they were just passing through the village, and he didn't pay attention to it.

But, when he got to the river, he saw them again. At the time, they were fiddling with something he couldn't read by the river, and he smelled the slightest hint of blood.

Originally, he was supposed to leave immediately, but he hadn't caught the fish yet, and he would definitely be scolded when he returned. Moreover, he was also a little curious about what they were doing. He had heard the old man say before that there was gold in this river. He thought they might be here to pan for gold, and when they were gone, he might be able to pick up a little. So he found a hidden place and hid.

However, he waited for a long time, but he did not see them digging up gold. The men were much more patient than he was, the one in the lead had been fiddling with the compass in his hand, and the rest of the people were standing quietly behind him.

Seeing that there was no movement on their side, Xiao Linzi moved his squatting numb legs to leave. Suddenly, there was a high-pitched cry, as sharp and poignant as the cry of their cat when its tail was trampled.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see what was going on in the river, so he didn't know what was going on. However, the cry caught his attention. And, as soon as the cry came, he saw two men jumping into the river. Therefore, he did not leave, but continued to crouch there, wondering what was going on there.

After a stick of incense, the two men went ashore. At the same time, he also found that they had brought a man out of the river, and looking at her dress, she looked like a woman.

He covered his mouth and looked at everything in front of him in shock, he hadn't seen the woman before, and he was pretty sure that no one was in the carriage. So, the man was in the river before they arrived. But how is that possible?

After they had fished them out, they did not delay, but immediately carried them into the carriage, and when they had packed them up, they drove away.

After their figures had completely disappeared, he stepped out of the shadows. When he arrived at the river, he tried the temperature of the river, and it was bitterly cold, and he felt more and more strange.

Moreover, he found a pearl in the river, which he had never found before.

When he took the pearl home, he showed it off to his friends. As a result, soon the whole village knew. Then they came to the river and began to pick up the pearls.

"Didn't you see the man's face?" Lu Bufan frowned and asked.

"They're fast, and I'm too far away to see."

Ning Yuan looked at the river with a worried expression, and he didn't know what they had done to Ah Zhi.

"Which way did they go?"

"North, they went north." He thought about it seriously and said, "Uncle Liu said that listening to their words, it seems that he came from the capital. ”

Lu Bufan's eyes widened when he boarded, but Ah Yan said that Ah Yang couldn't be allowed to go to the capital. How's that good?

"Brother Lu, why don't you leave?"

Lu Bufan glanced at Liyang not far away, and his head ached. Should he tell him about Ah Yan's request?

"You go first, I'll think about it later."

Ning Yuan looked at Lu Bufan suspiciously, but he really wanted to find Bai Zhi too much, so he didn't care about him.

"Are you sure they're really from the capital?"

The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know, Uncle Liu has been to the capital, but I haven't been there anyway." However, Uncle Liu doesn't lie, so I think what he said is true. ”

Lu Bufan sighed, thanked him, and returned to Liyang and the others.

At this moment, Ning Yuan had already told them everything he had heard.

"Let's inform Senior Brother Cheng first, they are coming this way, and we may bump into them." Lu Bufan proposed.

"Okay, I'll inform the third senior brother."

Just do it, Liyang hurriedly took out a pen and paper.

"Is it Chu Jie's people?" Ruby asked cautiously.

Lu Bufan frowned slightly, Yue Miao didn't see the address of Mochizuki Tower, but according to rumors, it shouldn't be in the capital. But those people came from the capital. It shouldn't be Chu Jie's talent.

"I don't think so." Lu Bufan said.

"Really?" Ruby was pleasantly surprised. If it weren't for Chu Jie's people, maybe what she dreamed about wouldn't have happened.

Lu Bufan carefully analyzed with her: "The person sent by Chu Jie only knows how to do it, and has not used any spells. But these people are obviously good at using spells, and they can easily find Bai Zhi, they are indeed more powerful than Chu Jie's people. ”

"However, Chu Jie's people also found us easily." Hongyu said with a sad face.

"But they don't use spells."

Ruby thought about it, and it was true. But, if it wasn't Chu Jie's people, what would it be?

"Could it be her cousin? Didn't she say that they could sense each other? Could it be that her cousin sensed her and came looking for her? ”

Ning Yuan couldn't help but said, "How is this possible, if it's really Ah Zhi's cousin, then just come to her." Why did you want to hurt her? ”

"Does anyone else want her but them?"

Hongyu's words gave Ning Yuan a wake-up call, he looked at Liyang, and said nervously: "Could it be the people of Fenghualou, maybe they know that Ah Zhi is special." ”

Liyang frowned slightly, this is not impossible. But if it was them, how did they know she was here? Liyang glanced at the calm river, and beneath this calm water, there may be a pair of invisible eyes staring at them all the time.

"Let's go, get the people back first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Lu Bufan looked at Liyang without saying anything, he wanted to tell him that Ah Yan said that you can't go to the capital. However, he didn't know why. Moreover, he was worried that if he said it, it would backfire.

Ruan Xiangtian saw Lu Bufan's entanglement in his eyes, and after Liyang turned over and got on the horse, he deliberately took a few steps behind and walked with Lu Bufan.

"What do you have to say?"

Lu Bufan laughed dryly twice and said, "I want to say that I have already notified my friends and asked them to keep an eye on that group." I think there will be news soon. ”

Ruan Xiangtian looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes were obviously saying, you can't fool me, it's better to tell the truth as soon as possible.

Lu Bufan looked up at Liyang, and saw that he didn't look back, so he lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Ruan, Ah Yan told me when he left that Ah Yang must be stopped from going to the capital." ”

Ruan Xiangtian glared at him angrily, he had just told him such an important matter.

"What, I didn't see that Ah Yang agreed to go south. Moreover, Ayang, you don't know, if I tell him, he will go to the capital to find out. Wouldn't that be contrary to Ah Yan's meaning? "Besides, I didn't expect this to happen, I thought we would go all the way south and find Ah Yan.

Lu Bufan didn't say the next words, but Ruan Xiangtian also saw it.

"You didn't say it before, so don't say it." Ruan Xiangtian said coldly: "You'd better make sure that Ah Yan is really not in the capital." ”

Lu Bufan looked at Ruan Xiangtian's departure in a daze, he was actually not very sure of this.
