25. The secret of the artifact

The soldiers chased after them, and Sister-in-law Jiang and Ah Xiang escaped for several streets, and it was always difficult to get out. The sunset was shining, and there were many passers-by, all of whom looked at them in surprise. Behind him, shouts thundered. They could only run to sparsely populated areas. After going around and around, he finally shook off his pursuers and came to the exit of the cave. It's a secluded place, and there are no pedestrians. The two of them got into the hole, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Back to the basement bedroom, the oil lamp was lit, and the two of them each lay on the same bed, resting for a long time. Ah Xiang was happy and hummed a song. The more sister-in-law Jiang thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her tears flowed for a long time. When the tears ran out, he wondered: Why has Lu Li changed?

Oh, yes! The Lu Li she knows is not like this, he is never arrogant. Smile, tenderness, wordless love, vigorous and neat movements, is his style and his image. When he is happy and appreciative, the most he can do is clap his hands gently, smile and nod, and send encouragement and praise in his eyes.

Sister-in-law Jiang felt that it was wrong, very wrong.

If you think about it carefully, the whole process is very strange: the layer of skin on the face should be very strong, why did it fall off? And it was dropped precisely when Ah Xiang was preparing for the assassination. Doesn't this mean that everything was designed by Ah Xiang, deliberately making her ugly and appearing! Don't......

Sister-in-law Jiang didn't dare to think about it. Turning her head to look, Ah Xiang happened to look at her. Ah Xiang ate and laughed, very naughty. Sister-in-law Jiang furrowed her brows. The words that had been taught in contempt resounded in my heart. She really can't be submissive anymore and at the mercy of others!

Ah Xiang jumped to the ground and walked over with a grin: "Sister-in-law Jiang, I realized it, you hate me so much now." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang hesitated, wanting to speak, but was speechless.

Ah Xiang sat on the edge of her bed and said as if playfully, "Sister-in-law Jiang, it's pretended." If you don't hate me, that's a fake. ”

"For what?"

"Because I did fool you!"

These words were so exciting that Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't help but sit up.

Ah Xiang Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Sister-in-law Jiang, let me ask you, I don't tease you, do you still want to get rid of it?" I don't let you show your true colors, do you still want to pretend that you are not a murder suspect? You're not a murder suspect, don't you want to be with me? You don't see Ami, you don't see Lu Li's infatuation with Ami, do you still want to pursue Lu Li meaninglessly? ”

This series of questions stunned Sister-in-law Jiang.

Ah Xiang said in an accentuated tone: "Tell you, sister-in-law Jiang, I'm helping you, not harming you." You and Lu Li should cut off the love thread, this is the best way for you to end the relationship! ”

Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and cried.

Ah Xiang ate and smiled, looking at her as if she was watching a lively scene.

Sister-in-law Jiang cried and couldn't help shouting: "I don't want to be a murderer, I don't want to!" I can end everything with Lu Li, but I don't want to hurt anyone! I don't want to, I don't want to, I never want to! ”

Ah Xiang's face turned cold: "Don't you even want to help your friends?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't speak, just cried.

Ah Xiang said: "Since you are ruthless and unrighteous, let's break it off!" I'll let you go right away, you go! ”

Ah Xiang stood up and took out a piece of silver: "You take this." Remember, don't let me see you again. I don't like your cowardly character. was obviously bullied, but he still had to swallow his anger and didn't dare to act. I hate spineless people! ”

Sister-in-law Jiang wants to say that she has a backbone and can do things. But she really couldn't speak, although in the passion of crying, she couldn't say it. Because practice has proved that she is indeed cowardly, and the indiscernible is cowardly. Her crying gradually became quieter, but the disappointment in her heart grew louder and louder. She thought, it is better to leave Ah Xiang as soon as possible, escape far away, and leave this place of right and wrong. As for the future, it really can't be done, take a small rope and hang yourself in the mountains. Who made themselves so stupid!

Sister-in-law Jiang's crying stopped, she stayed for a while and made a decision. She didn't want to take the silver, but she really didn't have any money on her, so she could only endure the humiliation and take the silver. At this time, Ah Xiang was lying on the bed, seemingly asleep. She carried the bag and bowed deeply to Ah Xiang: "Xie Lu, thank you for your help to me." She didn't think it was right, but she couldn't think of a better word. She walked slowly outside, hoping that Ah Xiang would wake up and talk to her, but Ah Xiang remained on the bed and did not move.

When she came out of the cave, the sky was already dark, and it was estimated that the city gate was not completely closed. She walked in the direction of the city gate, but she was afraid. Because of the murder just now, Xu Cheng's family will never give up, maybe there is a net at the gate of the city, ready to arrest her, right?

She walked into the street that led to the gate of the city, hid herself in the corner, and looked at the gate. Sure enough, the number of soldiers was half more than usual, and the civilians who were out of the city were checked one by one. Sister-in-law Jiang tried her best to look at the city wall, but she didn't find any arresting notices or anything like that. She hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to move forward, and slowly retreated.

Suddenly, she noticed that someone was staring at her, on a street corner not far away, her body half hidden. Sister-in-law Jiang saw that that person was the palace guard Ning Hu. Sister-in-law Jiang was nervous, and she had to avoid this dangerous guy as soon as possible.

Sister-in-law Jiang slowly moved her steps and moved to a side alley. Entering the alley, she immediately quickened her pace, passing through one small alley after another. She felt that she had avoided Ning Hu, and she was a little relieved. Just as he was about to pass through a new alley, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Ning Hu. She immediately turned around, but Kening Tiger pounced on her and grabbed her.

"If you want to run again, I'll stab you immediately!" Ning Hu whispered viciously.

Sister-in-law Jiang felt that she was finished, and she could only resign herself to fate.

Ning Hu grabbed her into a nearby house, pressed her down on the kang, and forced a knife to her neck.

"Yinliang, is it your secret?"

"No, sir, spare me! Yinliang was indeed caught by Lord Contempt with divine law, and it has nothing to do with me! ”

"You talk nonsense! Any miracle or magic law, it is all a man. You don't tell the truth today......"

As soon as he said this, the sound of flying objects came, Ning Hu hurriedly lowered his body, fell to the ground smartly, and then rolled on the ground several times. And those flying objects fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a few stones.

Ning Hu got up, didn't dare to delay, and rushed out.

Sister-in-law Jiang sat up on the kang and took a long breath. A person came in from outside the house, and it turned out to be Ah Xiang.

"Ah Xiang!" Sister-in-law Jiang's eyes were hot, and tears flowed down.

Ah Xiang said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't cry at every turn, this woman doesn't eat this." Hurry up and stabilize it, and follow me out of the chase. If you don't find out who Ning Hu is in contact with, you will be hunted down forever! Even if you run to the edge of the sky, you will be in his clutches! ”

When Sister-in-law Jiang thought about it, what Ah Xiang said made sense, so she didn't dare to cry anymore and ran out of the city.

It was already dark, and there was no one in the alley. In the distance, in the moonlight, I saw Ning Hu, who was running to turn left. The two quietly followed. Ning Hu was very alert, entered another small alley, and when he arrived in front of a house in the middle of the alley, Ning Hu's figure was gone, and the house was completely hidden in the dark. Ah Xianglala, sister-in-law Jiang, stood still.

"It's weird." Ah Xiang said softly, "Last time, I also tracked in front of this black mansion, and Ning Hu disappeared. Is there something wrong with this house? Come, sister-in-law Jiang, let's go to the hospital. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang was scared, but she had to listen to Ah Xiang. Ah Xiang jumped into the courtyard along the wall, walked around the courtyard for a while, opened the courtyard door, and let Sister-in-law Jiang in. Ah Xiang said angrily: "There is no one in this courtyard, Ning Hu did slip away." Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly said, "Then let's go back!" Ah Xiang shook her head: "You lie in the courtyard, help me keep an eye on it, and I'll go into the house." Sister-in-law Jiang can only listen to orders. She crouched on the side of the courtyard wall, watching Ah Xiang enter the house like a ghost, light and silent. Sister-in-law Jiang leaned against the wall tightly, for fear that an accident would happen.

There was no movement for a long time. Sister-in-law Jiang was scared: Ah Xiang, don't encounter an accident!

Unexpectedly, the lights were lit up in the room, and the oil lights were shining. As soon as the door rang, Ah Xiang slipped out, and her voice was very excited: "Sister-in-law Jiang, come with me, a major discovery!" ”

Sister-in-law Jiang followed her into the house. On the walls, there are oil lamps. On the opposite side of the house, a wooden cabinet was removed, and there was a black hole behind the cabinet. There was also an oil lamp at the entrance of the cave, Ah Xiang lit it, carried the oil lamp, and led Sister-in-law Jiang in. The hole in the ground is long. At the bottom of the cave was a large room, with a high table in the center and an artifact on it. Sister-in-law Jiang saw that the shape of this artifact was like a tree fork, but it was definitely not a tree fork, because it was shiny, and the various parts were neatly combined, the circle was round, and the edges were edges. Ah Xiang asked her to lean over, her eyes pressed against a round tube above, and her fingers reached on the small platform below. Ah Xiang put the lantern next to it and shone it. Sister-in-law Jiang took a closer look at the mouth of the tube, and immediately saw that her fingers had become very thick, like an ugly wooden power.

"Ahh Sister-in-law Jiang was so frightened that she jumped away and didn't dare to look at it anymore.

"What is this?"

"I don't know what to say, it's weird, it's weird!" Ah Xiang thought for a moment, "To be sure, this is Ning Hu's thing." What exactly it is for, but it is not clear. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang's body trembled, shook her hand and said, "Ah Xiang, this must be an artifact!" Let's go, but don't touch the artifact! ”

"Artifact?" Ah Xiang was puzzled and looked around. "It's really weird here. It is certain that Ning Hu escaped through the back window. Who is it, and what is the purpose of setting up these mysterious things? Sister-in-law Jiang, let's just wait here to see who is behind Ning Hu and what he did to get this artifact. I think they're going to show up here. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang was so frightened that she trembled and wanted to beg Ah Xiang to leave. But she knew that Ah Xiang would not leave, so she had to stay with Ah Xiang. They did not dare to stay in the house, but went to the house, lay on the roof, and waited.

The roof was thatched and warm. The two of them lay on their stomachs for a while, but they both felt sleepy, in fact, it was not naturally sleepy, but a faint smell emanating from the grass. Ah Xiang took a nap and suddenly woke up.

"No, no!" She pulled Sister-in-law Jiang, and Sister-in-law Jiang, who was stunned, was woken up by her. "Sister-in-law Jiang, this thatched smell is wrong, it is likely that my master said it, and it is soaked in incense. This house is indeed eccentric, and it has been prepared in advance to prevent outsiders from kicking on the roof. Hurry up and get out of the room! ”

The two of them went out of the room and re-entered the cave to check, and found that the artifact was missing.
