Chapter 168: Eavesdropping
The grave has been opened, but where did the bones go?
I was feeling creepy, when suddenly a hand slapped on my shoulder, which scared me to jump away, and subconsciously wanted to take the quenching moon in my sleeve.
Who knew that when I looked back closely, the one who patted me in the back looked at me with a more surprised gaze than me, and asked, "Why are you standing here stupidly, aren't you saying it's convenient?" "It turned out to be Wang Shaoting.
"Brother, please don't pat someone on the shoulder in the middle of the night, okay, what if I defend myself too much and hurt you?" I let out a sigh of relief and grumbled.
"Not really." He disagreed.
"Why not, you see that the ground is full of graves, I thought that some unjust ghost crawled out to shoot me!"
"Where is there a grave?"
"It's these stones, they're all tombstones!" I said, pointing to the ground.
"What happened when the tombstone fell?"
"Okay, okay, let's go back quickly, who's on duty when they come out!" I didn't bother to explain it to him in detail, so I dragged him back to the small temple.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the bonfire was burning vigorously, and then I looked at the two girls, and my heart couldn't help but sink suddenly!
Rui Wei was still sleeping sweetly, but Yue Ningmei, who was originally next to her, was gone!
"What about people?" I shouted at Wang Shaoting.
"I was still there when I went out just now!" He was also surprised.
I immediately became worried, walked to the gate of the temple, and looked out for a long time, but I didn't see any figure.
"She won't ...... It's convenient to go too, right? Wang Shaoting muttered.
This...... I really don't dare to say no. If you look for it with a lot of shouting, how embarrassing it will be if it is really like what Wang Shaoting said!
It's all because I did too much just now, just with the skills of a few of us, as long as we stay in this small temple, even if there are really some lonely ghosts and wild ghosts outside, you can also see ghosts and collect ghosts, meet demons and subdue demons, what is there to patrol?
It's hard to know that Yue Ningmei just woke up to see that we weren't there, and it was undecided to go out to find us, this black light was blind, and we might not be able to meet each other when we went out, and there would be no head when we looked for each other.
I was annoyed for a moment and decided not to make it.
After waiting for a while, I still didn't see Yue Ningmei, I finally couldn't hold my breath anymore, and said to Wang Shaoting: "You stay here, no matter what happens before dawn, don't go out to find us again, you know?" ”
He opened his mouth, and just about to defend himself, I already pointed at Rui Wei and said, "Don't forget, there are still people who need your protection!" ”
"Okay." He also looked at Rui Wei and nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, if I can't find it for a while, I'll come back temporarily, and I'll make plans when it's dawn." I comforted him. Then he went out of the temple gate again.
This time, I didn't run around, nor did I shout blindly, but took advantage of the light in the temple to carefully observe the small temple gate.
Because it has been raining outside for a long time, a layer of wet mud has already accumulated in front of the temple gate, and people will leave very obvious footprints when they step on it. Because we went in and out just now, the footprints here are very messy now, but after all, Yue Ningmei's feet are much smaller than our two big men, and after looking closely, I finally found her shoe prints.
I saw that her footprints did not linger at all, and after leaving the temple gate, she walked forward in a straight line, and there were no other footprints parallel to it.
I feel a little comforted in my heart, if she is coerced or something, the other party should follow her, and then two relatively parallel footprints will be formed. Now there is only her own line, which means that she went out on her own, but looking at the arrangement of the footprints, it seems that she walks very calmly, not like looking left and right when looking for someone, and it seems that she did not go out to look for us.
It's so late, it's still raining, where the hell has she gone?
I was vaguely uneasy in my heart, but now I only had this clue, so I could only follow it.
I tried to observe the footprints, and walked all the way forward, in front of the temple gate was the main road we had taken, across the main road, it was a wasteland, and beyond that, there was a small hill, and over the small slope, there was a small forest. When we walked here, we could no longer see the small temple where we lived, and all that was left around was the rain and the heavy darkness.
Originally, I would never have thought of coming here to find it, but that lonely footprint became a clue that could not be ignored, and it carried me all the way here.
In order to prevent the kind of "speculation" that Wang Shaoting said, I didn't dare to walk too fast, and listened attentively as I walked, so that I could turn around immediately if I found something inappropriate.
Because of this, not too far into the grove, my ears were already catching a slight human voice.
At the same time, I noticed that the slope of the hill suddenly changed here, forming a small corner, and from me, it was just impossible to see the view on the other side of the corner.
I didn't dare trespass, so I had to slow down, lean around the corner, and listen carefully.
“…… Why do such superfluous things? This was Yue Ningmei's voice. It sounded like he was talking to someone.
"I ...... Just kidding him......" A man's voice rang out.
The voice...... As soon as my heart moved, a person immediately flashed in my mind, it was Du Zifeng! Isn't this Du Zifeng's voice? How did he end up here?
If I was impulsive enough, I would have rushed out when I heard that Yue Ningmei was with such a dangerous man!
But the conversation between the two of them sounded completely hostile, and there was no trace of tension or hostility in Yue Ningmei's voice, and his voice was full of majesty, as if it was ...... In reprimanding subordinates the same.
And Du Zifeng's tone did not have the carelessness that he often had when talking to me, but there was a trace of awe.
My heart tightened, and I subconsciously remained silent and continued to listen.
I only heard Yue Ning frown and said, "Don't follow us anymore, there's nothing for you here." ”
Du Zifeng was silent for a few seconds, but said, "I think it's necessary for me to go with you." ”
"Why?"
"To remind the Holy Aunt, don't forget what our purpose is."
"Are you questioning me?" Yue Ning's eyebrows raised a few points.
"How dare I question the Holy Aunt? I just don't quite understand what kind of ability the kid surnamed Tao has to make Shenggu willing to take such a risk. ”
"It's none of your business."
Silent...... After a long time, Du Zifeng continued: "He is very smart, what if he knows the identity of the Holy Aunt?" ”
Suddenly, the quiet atmosphere was broken by a crackling sound, mixed with a low moan from Du Zifeng.
I've heard this sound before, it was the sound of Yue Ningmei casting a spell, the kind of spell that can make plants grow quickly.
"Haha," Du Zifeng laughed, but there was obviously a bit of pain in his voice, and he didn't know if he was injured by Yue Ningmei's spell, "I didn't expect you and me to have such a day." But it doesn't matter, my life originally belonged to the Holy Aunt, and you can dispose of it without a single complaint. ”
"I know what you're thinking, but I don't need to explain it to you. If I find out that you are doing something behind our backs, it will be easy to take your life. Hello for yourself! ”
"We ...... It turns out that now the holy aunt and the boy surnamed Tao have become 'us'. Du Zifeng said.
"Let's go!" Yue Ningmei only left him with this one sentence.
As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was time to retreat, so I hurriedly and slowly walked backwards a few steps, but unexpectedly, my back hit a tree, and the trunk shook, making a "bang" sound! (To be continued.) )
