Chapter 59: The Thirteen Commanders
Liangyi sat on a stool in the room, took off his blue coat, bit his fingers, and wrote a lot of words on it.
These are all to be left to Qu Youying.
He wrote attentively, but the night behind him was windy.
The wind rustled across the branches, mixed with a few crisp clicks, breaking the silence of the night.
Liang Yi suddenly turned around, staring sharply at the courtyard wrapped in darkness.
He seemed to hear the clicking of bones just now, but when he looked back, there was nothing in the courtyard.
"Did you hear me wrong?"
He was not very relieved, pulled off the hairpin on his head, held it in his hand, and walked to the yard vigilantly.
On the side of the corpses, I walked by them one by one, looking for them.
However, nothing unusual was found.
Outside, however, suddenly there was the sound of a drunken guard, and the sound of a bottle falling.
Only then did he stop, returned to the room, and continued to write the message he wanted to leave for Qu Youying.
But if he returned to the courtyard at this moment, he would find a white skeleton lying on the ground, and with the sudden sound of the wind, the bones moved slightly, and then again.
Slowly, one of the white bones actually stood up from the ground!
The movements in Liangyi's hands froze, and he looked back again.
The night was still dark outside, and the thin moonlight was pouring down from the head, falling on the white bones like stars.
He squinted, looked back at what he had written, laid it flat on the table, and closed his eyes sideways.
One night.
When Qu Youying opened her eyes, she only felt that her back and neck hurt, and she was uncomfortable anywhere.
"Ouch."
She supported her waist with one hand, rubbed her head that was pretending to be in pain with the other, twisted her neck, and shouted slowly, "Xie Xiaoer, come and help me." β
But there was no one around to answer.
She turned her head curiously.
"This isn't Lingnan Fang? This is...... An abandoned house on Fung Ling Street?! β
She stood up on her feet, familiar with her surroundings.
"How did I get here? Shouldn't I be in Lingnan Square? What about Xie Xiaoer? What about Su Tong? β
She looked out, and there were only bones all around her except her.
There is also the occasional blowing wind, which rustles the leaves.
"Am I being robbed of my body by that ghost again?"
She patted her head, and this sudden amnesia, and then appeared in another place, was not new to her.
It's just that it hasn't been seen for a long time recently, so why is it coming again?
"Could it be that he has no money to spend again? No, no, I have to go and burn some for him, so that he doesn't come to rob me all day long. β
The last time she remembered it was that she woke up after a sudden amnesia, and instead of sharing a bed with a stranger, she was almost killed.
This time it was better, and I came directly to the abandoned house on Fengling Street, which had been surrounded by the heavy troops of the Taiwei.
"If you want to be discovered by the captain, you will be in trouble."
She rolled her eyes and found a breakthrough in the courtyard, intending to escape over the wall.
But before she could take a step, she was tripped by something, and she fell straight forward and ate.
"Ouch, it hurts me."
She touched the dust of her nose and threw it twice, spitting out the dust from her mouth.
Then she reached out and stood up, but when the five fingers of her right hand touched the ground, there was a piercing pain in the index finger.
She gasped again, looked up, and found a gaping hole in her right index finger.
Blood seeps out and clots into a crust around it.
Obviously, it wasn't just left.
"Why did my hand break?"
She was so depressed that she didn't know what the other person was doing with her fingers.
The tenderness was palpable, as if she had written a lot of words on the ground with her fingers.
"Writing?"
She frowned suddenly, for she could see through the gap between her open fingers that many words had been written in blood on a piece of green cloth that hung down on the edge of the wooden table.
A living blood book.
Because every word on it still smells of blood.
"I can't have written it myself, right?"
She got up from the ground neatly, pulled the green cloth, and found that it was her own coat.
On the inner side, a lot of words are densely written.
She didn't have the handwriting, but she checked it with her fingers.
It's exactly the same thickness as her fingers.
"No, he should have left it for me."
She didn't know how she got into trouble with it, but this time, he wasn't messing around, he really gave her information.
read the above words word by word, and in the next second, Qu Youying rushed out of the house in a hurry.
Come under that big tree in the southeast!
According to what is written in the blood book, the other party found something wrong on a corpse here.
So Qu Youying squatted down, lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and examined it carefully.
"Not true. This is on the same skeleton, and it is also very old, and it is not a short-term internalized bone. But he wouldn't lie to me, because it didn't make any sense. β
Qu Youying asked and answered herself, her eyebrows sank, she got up and checked all the corpses in the yard.
None of the bones described in the blood book were found.
"There's no reason! What's going on? β
She held her chin and stood on the steps of the door, looking condescendingly at the white bones on the ground.
Because of the large number of them, they were arranged according to the left and right sides at that time, with ten skeletons in a row for easy inspection.
But now, there is a skeleton missing.
"Could it be that what is missing is the splicing bones he said?"
Qu Youying narrowed her eyes, and the streamer under her eyes collided with the sunlight, and was quietly infiltrated by the latter.
"The bones of the big foot are gone. If he hadn't lied to me, there would have been two bones missing. β
She always felt that there must be something else in this, which he hadn't discovered.
Otherwise, it should have been written in the blood book, instead of just telling her to pay attention to the splicing of bones.
"No matter, let's go back first."
She put on her bloody shirt and prepared to evacuate first.
How do you know, she hasn't explored it yet and started to climb over the wall! The voice of the guards was heard outside, and immediately after, the door of the abandoned house was pushed open.
Qu Youying was a fierce spirit and hid behind the wooden door.
Two guards followed a man in a black suit inside.
Qu Youying saw the person through the crack in the door, and secretly screamed in her heart.
"Thirteen rivers."
This person is the commander of the guards beside the captain, according to Xie Xiaoer, although he is young, he is a first-class master.
What's even more exaggerated is that Xie Xiaoer, who has always admired Mu Jingzhu, said that if this person fights with Mu Jingzhu, he will not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
Such a person is alert and sensitive like a wolf, as long as there is a little wind and grass around, he will find out.
For a while, Qu Youying's body stiffened, hiding behind the door, and she didn't even dare to breathe.
"Commander, you are here today, is there a new order from the Captain?"
The two people who followed, after coming in from the Thirteen Rivers, have been following very stammeringly, smiling heavily.
Thirteen Chuan didn't answer, like the eagle's sharp gaze, swept through the courtyard, and finally landed on the half-closed and half-open wooden door!
It was directly confronted by Qu Youying, who was peeking at his every move.
Frightened, Qu Youying immediately retracted her gaze and shrank into the dark behind the door.
She put her hand on her heart, trying to suppress her heartbeat.
Outside the door was the sound of protruding footsteps, one step at a time, walking steadily, approaching the wooden door.
"Don't come, don't come......"
Qu Youying could only pray, thinking that he must not come close.
"Thirteen Commanders, where are you going? There was no one in there. β
The two guards behind him didn't know what he was going to do, so they didn't react to him, so they had to watch from the spot.
Thirteen Chuan walked to the steps in front of the door and stood with his hands in his hands.
His face was grim, and under his slightly raised eyebrows, a pair of eyes full of ice were shining through the gap in the wooden door.
It's summer, but it makes people feel the cold of the wax moon.
"Come out!"
When he spoke, his voice was cold and thin, like frost, and when he gave an order, he exuded a sense of oppression that was not angry but threatening.
Compared with the first time he saw it from afar, at this moment, the coldness that no one could enter exuded from his whole body made Qu Youying even more frightened and helpless.
She has met a lot of people, and Mu Jingzhu is already a very ruthless person in her eyes.
Compared with the Thirteen Rivers, the coldness of Mujing Candle is popular.
And his cold is really cold!
"Don't make me say it a second time."
The tone was still flat, but the frost fell again.
Qu Youying could sense that her body began to tremble uncontrollably under such pressure, trembling so much that she almost couldn't control herself.
"Meow"
Just when she was about to take it anymore, a cat meow came.
On the window of the house, a cat with snow-white hair jumped down.
It was muscular, and after walking a few steps on the ground, it quickly ran out of the wooden door.
As she passed by Qu Youying, she clearly saw the cat looking back at her.
Those eyes are heterogeneous pupils!
In this era, there are many cats, but few cats have purple eyes and one pure black.
Purple is enchanting, black is mysterious!
It jumped out of the door, didn't stop, quickly jumped onto the fence, and disappeared outside the door.
At the same time, the coercion outside the door also disappeared in an instant.
Thirteen Chuan retreated, turned his back to the wooden door, and instructed the two guards, "I will transfer some of the manpower." β
"Why?" One of the tall guards said, "Didn't the Captain tell us to keep this place until he left?" β
"Yes, Thirteen Commanders. The brothers are also really hard guarding, if you send some more people away, in case there is really any bone demon appearing, the rest of the people are far from enough! β
The two were obviously deliberately pretending to be pitiful, but this trick was not useful in the eyes of Thirteen Chuan.
"Command."
The two cold words made the two of them close their mouths, lower their heads, and no one dared to say more.
The corners of Shisanchuan's mouth pursed into a straight line, and his sharp gaze slanted slightly in the direction of the wooden door behind him, and then said, "Concentrate the people at the main gate, I want to choose people." β
"Huh?"
Before the tall guard could ask clearly, Thirteen Chuan swept over with a look, and he nodded immediately in fright.
"The subordinates will go immediately."
He quickly ran out of the door, shouting for everyone to gather at the gate.
Thirteen Chuan walked to the door with his hands behind his back and ordered someone to close the door of the abandoned house, blocking everything inside and outside.
"Whewβscared the hell out of me."
Qu Youying breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the cat just now, she didn't know what would happen later.
She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and for the first time she was frightened by a person without a single soldier.
"This place can't wait any longer, I have to go."
She heard the sound of assembly outside, and immediately rushed to the edge of the wall, crawled neatly along the branches of the big tree, and then ran away without looking back.
