Chapter 123: Houhai
"If you want to find them, you have to go to Houhai. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info you said that Yongxi seems to have been there............" Ma Qiang's voice became smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, my eyes opened violently, and I found myself lying on top of a hospital bed.
I turned my head and saw that the sky outside was white.
I've had this dream many times, and I'm not surprised at all.
Hey, I remember last night that I was hanging with salt water. Then the eyelids did not listen to their own call, why are they lying in bed now.
"Squeak!" With a bang, the door opened, and a tall young nurse walked in.
"Are you awake, are you feeling better?"
"How could I be in bed?"
The nurse walked up to me with a smile, handed me the thermometer and said, "You slept too hard yesterday, I called you softly several times, and you didn't respond." Then I asked the male nurse here to carry you to bed. β
whatοΌ I was carried to bed by a man? This is too filmable. I was stunned, my face full of black lines.
"Ahh Yikes! She let out a silver bell-like laugh. Wow, hold this one. β
I took the thermometer from the nurse's hand.
After a few minutes, the nurse smiled and said to me, "Fortunately, there is no fever, and your friends are fine." It's okay to recuperate here for a few days. β
"Can I be discharged today?"
The nurse asked with a puzzled expression, "You are scratched by a cat, and it is easy to get infected." β
If it had been before, I would have been obedient and recuperated here. But now it's getting closer and closer to the next ghost Gu poison attack. And I don't have anything in my hands to counterbalance them now, and the biggest headache is that Xiao Pan is also missing.
The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us. In case they call me to send the [Heavenly Master Seal] when my ghost Gu is poisonous, I will most likely give it to them in order to survive.
No! I hurriedly interrupted my ridiculous thoughts, the [Heavenly Master Seal] couldn't be given to them even if they died. If they get this thing, it will only be more unscrupulous. When the time comes, people will be swordsmen and I will be fish and meat, and we will not have the slightest ability to resist, and I will not be the only one who will die.
At present, the top priority is to rush to Houhai.
Ma Qiang mentioned this place, and Xu Chao said this place.
This village called Houhai must have some secret that no one knows.
"Young people, don't fight so hard, your body is the most important thing." The smile on the nurse's face disappeared and she walked out expressionlessly.
"Forehead ............"
It seems that the little nurse misunderstood me, she was in a hurry to be discharged because of work, but I am not in the mood to explain to her now.
I lifted the quilt and walked out, pushed open Shen Shuang's hospital room, and found that Li Ming and Tian Tian were here.
Tian Tian lowered her head and said nothing.
"Why are you sitting here like that?"
Li Ming stood up and said, "I woke up, I went to your place first, and found that you were still sleeping, so I didn't bother." Passing by Shen Shuang, I saw her sitting on the bed, so I came in and said a few words. β
I walked over and touched Tiantian's head.
Tiantian's body was barely scarred, only a band-aid was attached to the place of her finger. Thanks to Shen Shuang yesterday, she has been protecting her, if it weren't for her, Tiantian might not even be able to get out of bed.
"How are you feeling?"
Shen Shuang's lips were a little pale, and he smiled faintly: "It's not a big problem, it's just that the location of the wound is still a little painful." Is there something wrong with you? β
"Do you think I look like someone in trouble?"
A few simple words. I made an excuse and let Li Ming walk out with me.
In the empty corridor, the smell of disinfectant water fills the air.
"You've been to Houhai before, tell me a little about the situation there."
"Houhai? How do you remember this place? Li Ming's eyes floated.
"Qiu Ci!" He bit his lip and said, "Can you tell you what Houhai is doing?" β
I smiled slightly, knowing why Li Ming would ask that. Because he was worried about his uncle. Xu Chao still has the evidence of his uncle and other corrupt officials in his hand, and now it is an eventful time. Li Ming was afraid that if I went to Houhai, Xu Chao would be angered, and if he angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry! It has nothing to do with Xu Chao. While talking, I walked into the ward and briefly told Li Ming what I had dreamed about.
"It turns out that [Blood Drops] is surnamed Poison. This surname is rare, wouldn't it be good for us to check how many surnames are poisonous in the city? β
I gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "If you hurt so many people, do you dare to be poisoned?" β
''Oh. It's me who didn't think it through. Many people will change their surname, for example, you should have the surname Chen......''
"Okay, don't dwell on that. You've been to Houhai before, and tell me a little about the situation there. β
Li Ming nodded and said, "After listening to the conversation between you and Xu Chao that afternoon, I always felt like I was stuck in my throat. I didn't sleep much all night. So, the next day, my friends and I usually play better. β
"It's your uncle's men!"
Li Ming's face turned red, coughed a few times, and said "um" in a subtle voice, and continued: "They and I rushed to Houhai Village early in the morning. The village is strange, there are eight families in each row, but there are eight rows in total. β
Hey, strange layout, more like a formation.
"And every house is a house with blue bricks and red tiles, and you can't see the difference between each one from the outside. The neat layout, the cookie-cutter house feels particularly weird. They and I quickly came to the third house in the first row.
When I walked in, I found that the door was locked, and I leaned close to the crack in the door to look inside. I saw a tall and burly stone statue in the courtyard inside, and on it was a bearded and vicious statue. β
"Zhong Kui?"
"Yes, in the center of the courtyard is the stone statue of Zhong Kui, which is covered with cobwebs, and the courtyard is full of fallen leaves. I asked my neighbors, who told me that this was not Yongxi's home, but a home named Fang Xi. It used to be an old man who lived here with Fang Xi. Later, for unknown reasons, they moved. β
"Is that old man's name Fang Jun?"
"Yes! How do you know. β
"That's right, it's Fang Jun who adopted Yongxi."
"Huh?!"
"It's just that I don't understand why Yongxi's original name is Fang Xi, why did she change her surname?"
Li Ming snorted coldly. "I don't have a conscience!"
There are too many mysteries on Yongxi, and I thought at first that he would die tragically in the mausoleum after the ancient city was flooded. It was later discovered that he and Xu Wei had joined forces to kill the expedition team. I put him in the category of bad guys, and the slightest sympathy I had for him was gone.
Later, I found out that he was Fang Jun's adopted grandson, and he had something to do with me, and the pendant around his neck was similar to me. Now I know that he has changed his name himself.
This man's death is not only a mystery, but his life is also full of fog.
The deeper you go, the more you realize that things are much more complicated than what you just saw.
"Later, I knew that I had been fooled, and it was too late to regret it." Li Ming sighed.
After listening to Li Ming's words, I suddenly remembered. The question I have been ignoring is what is the relationship between Xu Chao and Fang Jun. Why did he finally choose that there was his last place to get out.
Among the remnants of the ancient city, it must not be as simple as Xiao Pan said, it is divided into four parts, and the mystery on their bodies is no less than that of [Blood Droplets].
"When are you going to go to Houhai?" Li Ming saw that I didn't speak for a long time, so he asked.
"Now!"
"Now?!"
I nodded, sighed helplessly and said, "You also know that the time for the next ghost Gu attack is getting closer and closer, and I don't have time to delay." β
Li Ming pursed his lips and pondered for a while.
"Good! Are you going to call Shen Shuang? β
"No, just the two of us. She was badly wounded, so let her rest well. β
I don't know when I started, I also learned "duplicity", obviously suspicious of Shen Shuang, but I still have to say such a high-sounding reason.
"It's okay for her to take a break, you wait for me to go back and change my clothes."
After Li Ming went out, I leaned down and took out a clean set of clothes from my backpack.
Last night's desperate struggle had already pronounced the death penalty for my clothes. Now we have to go out, and we can't go out in a hospital gown, so we have to bring an extra set of clothes for a rainy day.
Ten minutes later, we walked out of the hospital, flagged down a taxi, and headed for Houhai.
