Chapter 48: The Black Mask
The four of them sat around the table, silent.
Lei Wufeng was not used to being so quiet, and was just about to open his mouth to speak, but was so frightened by Liu Hua's warning look that he immediately shut up.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the demon wind blew the cloth flag of the tea shed whirring, and two crows flew in the sky, and the cry was abrupt.
A chilly aura hit.
"Here we are." Duan said lightly.
I saw a tall black shadow suddenly appear not far away, reflecting the last remaining rays of sunlight, and the long hair behind him was scattered in the wind, slowly walking towards everyone.
He had nothing on his hands, and he looked very calm, as if he had just come for a walk.
When he got closer, everyone noticed that the person who came was wearing an iron mask, and his body was extremely slender, and his whole body was black, except for the little skin exposed under the mask, which was not as pale as a living person. His broad shoulders were not moving, his legs were thin and straight, and he walked methodically with small and small steps until he stood in front of everyone.
He leaned up his slender neck and looked at Duan Qingmei with the afterglow of his eyes, high above him, without saying a word.
Duan Qingmei was still sitting, playing with the dusty tea set on the table, and said, "What do you want to exchange?" ”
The man in black stretched out a withered hand from his sleeve, his black nails long and curved downward, and his fingertips pale.
"Compass." Humane in black. The voice was hoarse like a dry well.
"Who the hell are you! How will you know the compass! Liu Hua stood up and pointed to the man in black.
However, the man in black ignored her, and only looked at Duan Qingmei from beginning to end, as if no one else existed.
Duan Qingmei knew very well in his heart. The man knew that the compass was in her hands.
"I can give you the compass, but we have to see the girl you kidnapped first." Duan said lightly.
The man in black crooked his neck slightly, and another person jumped out of the roof of the tea shed, holding a girl in a cyan Luo skirt in his hand, and stood behind the man in black.
That girl was none other than Hua Zhizhi, but her eyes were closed and unconscious.
Lei Wufeng jumped up and was about to go over to save people, but was pushed several meters away by the man in black, and was forced to take out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Jianshu frowned, secretly holding the hilt of the Qingfeng Sword.
"People are still alive." The man in black continued to spread his hand flat in front of Duan Qingmei's eyes, and his thin fingers bent towards his palm one by one, very impatient, "Compass." ”
Duan Qingmei took out the compass in the package.
Liu Hua wanted to stop her, shook his head and said, "Duan Qingmei!" The compass can't be given to him! ”
Duan Qingmei blocked her hand, "A compass is important, or Zhizhi's life is important." ”
Liu Hua bit his lip and did not speak again. She watched as Duan Qingmei put the Liu family's heirloom into the hands of the man in black.
As soon as he got the compass, the man in black and his companion quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving Hua Zhizhi unconscious on the ground.
As soon as this person left, I don't know if it was an illusion, and the air around him seemed to start to warm up.
"Senior sister!" Lei Wufeng was the first to rush forward and picked Hua Zhizhi up from the ground. Except for some slight abrasions on his face, Hua Zhizhi had no other wounds on his body.
"I guess I took medicine for a coma." Liu Hua's eyes were blank, and he said after testing Hua Zhizhi's pulse.
"Let's go back to the inn first." Duan Qingmei said to everyone.
Lei Wufeng hugged Hua Zhizhi and walked forward, because of the blow of the man in black just now, his steps were a little staggering, and he seemed to be very weak. Xiao Jianshu supported him from behind, "Let me carry Miss Hua." ”
Lei Wufeng hurriedly nodded in agreement, gently placed Hua Zhizhi on Xiao Jianshu's back, thought about it and said, "You are not allowed to do anything crooked about my senior sister." ”
Xiao Jianshu ignored him, and after carrying the person on his back, he walked back by himself.
"Liuhua, where are you going?" Duan Qingmei said to Liu Hua, who was walking towards the city gate.
Liu Hua turned around and sneered, "Naturally, it's back to Longhu Mountain."
Duan Qingmei stepped forward quickly, "Your father really didn't tell you that we have two of these compasses?" ”
Liu Hua pursed his lips, his expression was a little unnatural, and he tilted his head and said, "Yes, I didn't listen to him." ”
"Compass I brought two. There's a whole bunch of them in your father's storeroom. Duan said lightly. Don't worry, if it's really your family's unique heirloom, how can I give it to someone like this? ”
Liu Hua lit his fist, "I'll settle accounts with the old man when I go back." He has always told me since he was a child that this compass is unique and should be cherished. ”
"Although it's not unique, it's also worth a lot of money, Senior Liu is so deducted, so I guess I just won't let you break it."
Liu Hua hated itchy, "I sometimes suspect that you are the old man's daughter." ”
"It's not a daughter, but it's pretty much the same." Duan Qingmei thought for a while.
"Go back! What are you doing in a daze! Liu Hua rushed ahead of Duan Qingmei.
Duan Qingmei followed, putting away his smile.
