Chapter 6: Shock

When the exhausted Qingyu and Qin Han were about to arrive at Qingfu, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, the moon is high tonight, and the road can barely be seen clearly while walking. It's just that the sun during the day failed to melt all the snow, and the remaining small amount of snow condensed into hard and slippery thin ice because of the cold of the night, which made the two people who were rushing under the moon fall a few times, and it was inevitable that their noses and faces were swollen.

Under the cold moonlight, Qingfu was already in sight. Qingyu rubbed her buttocks, which might have been red and swollen, and said hatefully: "Damn old man, he didn't send someone to find us, and he didn't take Young Master Ben to heart at all. It's really not like words, see how I go back and let my mother clean him up!"

Qin Han sneered and said, "Qingyu, it's us who made mistakes, it's good not to be punished when you go back." What do you still want, I guess the master is really angry this time, I'm afraid that a large team of people would have come out to look for you in the past. Alas, it's me who has troubled you. ”

Qingyu said confidently: "It's okay, I've already thought of a countermeasure." After I go back, I only need to tell the old man today's events, and I guess he will have to keep his mouth crooked, and he will have the heart to care about us. ”

Qin Han said with some disbelief: "Can this work?"

Qingyu Dao sneered: "Just wait and see, you don't know how obsessed the old man is with these things, otherwise the third child would not have been taken away at such a young age! Hey, it's a pity, if only I could worship those three immortal masters as teachers today, maybe better than the third one, the old man will be even happier." But it's also strange to say, if I had walked so far in the past, I would have been exhausted, how can I still feel full of energy today, it is really a miracle medicine. If I also learn this kind of alchemy, then I am not developed?"

"Gollum...... Gollum" both stomachs crumbled at the same time.

Qin Han smiled bitterly: "I don't care about any magic elixir, I feel like I'm about to starve to death." ”

Qingyu also rubbed her stomach and said weakly: "Ah, I'm starving to death Young Master Ben, I'm going to eat a cow in a while!" Braised deer tail, roasted duck, roasted goose, braised duck, sauce chicken, squirrel osmanthus fish, all one, and a pot of good cloud ......."

Qin Han swallowed his saliva vigorously and said angrily: "Qingyu, you said to eat at this time, did you do it on purpose!"

Qingyu wiped the corners of her mouth and laughed: "What's the matter, I did it on purpose, come and hit me!" After speaking, he ran forward, and Qin Han chased after him.

The silence of the night was broken by cheerful laughter, and a few jackdaws squatting on a dead tree by the side of the road were also startled. Screaming and flying away.

The two of them, panting, came to the gate of Qingfu, and the vermilion gate was a little oozing in the moonlight. Qin Han said suspiciously, "Why didn't there be a lantern in the mansion tonight?"

Qingyu also said strangely: "Yes, why didn't anyone come to greet Young Master Ben? There were no gatekeepers, where did they all go, could they all be drinking inside?" After speaking, he walked up and pushed down the door, but there was no push.

"Qin Han, come and help, I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength. Qingyu shouted at Qin Han, who was standing dumbly at the bottom of the steps.

"Oh" Qin Han, who came back to his senses, hurriedly ran up and pressed on another door. The two of them pushed together. The door slowly creaked open with the squeak of sour teeth. A cold aura rushed towards him, and Qin Han and Qingyu shivered at the same time. Qin Han only felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, an illusion that his scalp was about to explode.

"Old man, I'm back, come and greet Young Master Ben!" Qingyu shouted loudly into the courtyard. The trembling sound came far away, but there was no response, and the silence in the courtyard was a little terrible. At this time of year, Qingfu should be brightly lit and lively. Qin Han and Qingyu glanced at each other, and they both saw a strong fear in each other's eyes.

By the dim moonlight, the two walked from the door to the courtyard in the middle, the main hall of the Qingfu in front of them, and the path on the right was the miscellaneous courtyard leading to the mansion, that is, the residence of Qin Han and his father. On the way, Qingyu and Qin Han kept calling the names of the people in the house, from the closest parents to the subordinates who only knew their nicknames. But without exception, except for the echo of Qingyu and Qin Han's loud shouts, and the hurried footsteps of the two, there was no response.

The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and Qin Han raised his legs and ran towards the courtyard. And Qingyu, who had always been bold, saw Qin Han's departure, and her teeth trembled in fright, and she no longer had the courage to face this strange courtyard alone.

"Qin Han, wait for me, I'll go over with you. ”

Where they can walk with their eyes closed on weekdays, the two of them fell at least ten times before they came to the small courtyard, the small courtyard was no different from usual, and the ice on the bluestone slab was still a little slippery. The bare apricot tree in the northwest corner of the courtyard was still there. It's just that Old Man Qin didn't hear his footsteps when he was still in the courtyard, and then opened the door to greet him.

Qin Han paused at the door, trying to put a relaxed smile on his face. shouted loudly: "Father, I'm back, why don't you give me the lamp, I can't see it." "The windows weren't lit up like they had been last night, and the silent room didn't remember the footsteps as usual.

Qin Han turned his head as if to Qingyu behind him, and said softly as if to himself: "My father must have fallen asleep, so he didn't make a sound...... However, Qingyu didn't answer his words, just grabbed the corner of Qin Han's clothes tightly behind him. Qin Han carried a lantern through the small courtyard, and the door in the house was open. This time, Qin Han didn't shout anything when he entered the house, neither of them spoke, and they walked very slowly, checking inch by inch, and didn't let go of every corner. It's just that every time he took a step, Qin Han's face turned pale again.

Only Qin Han's small bedroom remained, and the small bedroom was separated from the main house by an old linen cloth. As long as you lift the linen cloth at your fingertips, everything inside can be seen at a glance. But Qin Han didn't do that, he didn't dare to do that, there were tears in his eyes, but more fear!

"Qin Han......" Qingyu pulled down Qin Han's sleeve and said softly.

Hearing Qingyu's voice, Qin Han clenched his teeth, stretched out his slender arm and suddenly lifted the linen cloth that blocked the sight of the two.

It's empty, there's nothing!

The quilt was neatly laid out on the bed, and the book was still on the shabby table at the head of the bed. It was the "Travels in Qingzhou" that Qin Han read last night! At this time, no matter how hard Qin Han tried, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.

Qin Han turned around and walked to the stove and reached out to uncover the lid of the pot above. The chicken thighs have been lying quietly in the pot. Pick it up, it's a little cold to the hand.

In an instant, Qin Han's tears rained down.

Qingyu leaned over and took a look, and asked tremblingly, "Is this the chicken leg I got for you last night?"

Qingyu's eyes were red, and she suddenly grabbed Qin Han's shoulders and said loudly: "I know, the mansion is so big, they must have run to other houses to hide, deliberately scaring us." Could it be because we sneaked out and they deliberately scared us like this...... Yes, it must be! When I find them, see how I clean him up, huh!"

Hearing Qingyu's words, Qin Han's eyes suddenly burst out with a light of hope and nodded.

The figures of the two teenagers looked so thin and helpless compared to the huge Qingfu. The two people who walked out of the gate of the small courtyard did not stop shouting, even if their necks were a little hoarse. The sudden change made the two teenagers panic in their hearts, they didn't dare to stop, facing the Qingfu where the silence was extreme, only by shouting loudly, their hearts would be a little calm.

From the east garden to the west hall, from the kitchen to the firewood room. From Qingyu's bedroom to the study of the lord of Qinghe Mansion, everything has not changed, and no one has changed, even the cats and dogs in the mansion, and the horses in the stable, all of them have disappeared, as if all the living things are gone. It was as if the entire Qingfu had disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace. Or all people as if they never existed.

Qingfu under the cold moon was dead and silent, and there was not even a trace of wind. An indescribable chill shrouded the hearts of the two,

The dim candlelight burned quietly in the lantern, I don't know if it was an illusion. The two of them always felt that today's night was much darker than usual, and the two lanterns and the moonlight were always dim and dim, and they couldn't see it really.

When Qin Han and Qingyu searched all possible places, the two of them were in ragged clothes, covered with scars and sludge, and their unkempt hair was no different from the name of Huazi in Qingzhou City. Qin Han sat on the threshold of the small courtyard, his eyes staring blankly at the pitch-black front, tears flowing silently down his face.

Qingyu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, dragged her heavy steps, slowly moved to Qin Han's side and sat down, and said in despair: "Qin Han, where did you say they went, they couldn't see anyone alive or dead, and they disappeared so suddenly?"

The two of them asked each other this question hundreds of times, but Qin Han didn't answer him, and Qingyu didn't expect anything from Qin Han's mouth anymore, so he just talked to himself.

Qingyu looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and said dreamily: "It's just gone, I didn't even leave a word for me, I knew that I wouldn't go to that Qingfeng Mountain, even if I died, I would be with them." It's better than leaving me alone here. ”

Qin Han clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh, lowered his head, and did not speak. He knew that Qingyu didn't blame him for saying this, Qingyu's pain was no different from his own pain. He just felt indescribably in his heart, was it pain, remorse, or guilt?

Qingyu stretched out her hand and rubbed Qin Han's unkempt and cemented hair, and said astringently: "Qin Han, what should we do, they are not immortals, how can they disappear so suddenly......" Qingyu's voice gradually faded away with the sound of weak footsteps, and Qin Han still sat motionless on the threshold of the small courtyard.

"It's not an immortal...... Qin Han's mind suddenly appeared, everything that happened on the top of Qingfeng Mountain, and the faces of the three cultivators.

Could it be that they did it? Qin Han immediately shook his head again, if it was them, then how could they save Qingyu and themselves.

The two helpless teenagers just sat on the threshold of the Qingfu with each other.

"Chirp...... Tweeted...... Chirp" A strange voice came to mind at Qin Han's feet. Through the cold moonlight, I saw a strange thing the size of a lamb, four-legged, shaped like a horse, with scales attached to the body, a bird's beak, and two small protrusions the size of a fist on its back, standing in front of Qin Han, raising its strange head and chirping vigorously at Qin Han.

It was the good wing that had just hatched on the top of Qingfeng Mountain, which Bai Chaofeng and others called the head of the ten fierce beasts of the ancients!
