Chapter 39: Mermaid Jinyu
"Boom Boom!" It was another thunderstorm, Qiao Xiya couldn't help but hold her head and scream, "Ah! ”
"Ahh At the same time, a heart-rending scream came from outside the door.
Bai Ning, who originally held Qiao Xiya in his arms, was instantly attracted by the screams outside, and he gently pushed Qiao Xiya: "Did you hear that?"
Qiao Xiya let go of her hand and raised her head to look at Bai Ning, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
Bai Ning gently patted Qiao Xiya's shoulder and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with me, no ghost can hurt you." Seeing Qiao Xiya's mood gradually stabilize, Bai Ning continued, "Did you hear the screams outside? ”
Qiao Xiya shook her head and looked at the door vigilantly, as if a pair of eyes were watching her outside the door.
"Click!" Another lightning bolt struck, and the pouring rain smashed down on the head and face, and the night in front of him instantly became blurred.
"I'll go and see, do you want to come along?" Bai Ning was very sure that in addition to Qiao Xiya's scream just now, there was also a scream from outside, and he was really relieved.
"Don't leave me!" Qiao Xiya grabbed Bai Ning's sleeve and looked at him with teary eyes. Chunling also got out from under the table and grabbed Qiao Xiya's arm.
"Miss Qiao," Bai Ning turned around and grabbed Qiao Xiya's shoulder, with a serious expression, "Do you believe me?" Seeing Qiao Xiya nodded, Bai Ning continued, "You believe me, this is by no means a ghost, the scream just now and the white carriage before must be related to the case we investigated, if you don't go now, you may miss this opportunity, and I don't know when I will wait until next time." ”
Qiao Xiya's emotions slowly calmed down in Bai Ning's calm and warm voice, and she looked back at Chunling: "I'll go with Bai Gongzi to have a look, are you afraid?"
"The girl is not afraid, and neither is the slave and the maid." Chun Ling cheered up and shook his head.
The three of them put on the robes hanging on the wall, braved the heavy rain, and rushed into the thick night.
Huimeng County, which was shrouded in heavy rain, was dead silent, and there was not even a single insect cry in my ears except for the sound of the rain brushing.
"Girl, Bai Gongzi, where are we going to find it?" Chunling looked at the empty street, and couldn't help but tremble, she heard the scream that Bai Ning said, and thought that she could see something when she went out, but the empty street in front of her made the ghost haunt the four words climb into Chunling's heart again.
Bai Ning looked around, and saw that in the thick night, a dark mountain towered in the north of Huimeng County, and the mountain was hazy and could not be seen clearly, Bai Ning glanced at Qiao Xiya and said, "Since it has come out, let's go and see the mountain god marry."
Qiao Xiya hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Whether it was a mountain god or a mountain ghost, Qiao Xiya decided to see it with her own eyes.
The three of them braved the rain and walked towards the dark mountain.
"Girl, look." Chunling trembled and pointed straight ahead. Looking along Chunling's fingers, I saw that a dense blue light like stars suddenly appeared on the originally dark mountain, "Ghost ...... Ghost Fire! Chunling's exclamation suddenly exploded in Qiao Xiya's ears, making Qiao Xiya's hairs stand on end.
Bai Ning frowned, trying to look at the ghost fire on the mountain, and after a while, as if he had found something, he shouted: "Hurry up!" He took the lead and ran forward.
Qiao Xiya and Chunling, who didn't understand what was going on, glanced at each other, and then looked at the empty rainy night, the two gritted their teeth and followed with their legs.
The ghost fire on the mountain fluttered and there was no trace to be found, flickering and dimming, which was dazzling. By the time the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, none of the ghost fires on the mountain had disappeared.
"Bai Gongzi ......" Qiao Xiya helped Chunling, panting, and touched the rain on her face. The exhaustion of running has dispelled the fear in my heart without a trace, "What happened to you just now?" It was only then that Qiao Xiya asked the doubts in her heart.
"Maybe I'm wrong...... Bai Ning hesitated for the first time, "This mountain is strange, and it's raining in the middle of the night now, let's go back first." After Bai Ning finished speaking, he unwillingly glanced up at the mountain in front of him.
"Okay." Seeing that Bai Ning was reluctant to say, Qiao Xiya also stopped asking. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, even if she and Bai Ning were only three or five steps apart, the two of them couldn't wait to shout out loud. Qiao Xiya felt that going back at this time might be the wisest choice.

"You're the adult, aren't you?" A charming smile appeared on Jinyu's charming face.
"Min Chu said that you are as beautiful as a flower and your voice is like a ghost, and he is really right." The man in the purple robe sat down in a robe, and the official threatened, "Are you really from the South China Sea?" The purple-robed man looked Jinyu up and down.
Jinyu let out a dry sneer: "Adults can give it a try."
Before Jinyu's words landed, the purple-robed man raised his hand and splashed the tea on the table on Jinyu. The tea rolled on Jinyu's shirt a few times, and then fell to the ground, and the clothes were not wet for half a minute.
"Long Silk!" The purple-robed man's eyes lit up.
Jinyu's red lips hooked a charming angle: "Adults have good eyesight." With that, she grabbed the purple-robed man's hand holding the teacup with lightning speed, and quickly knocked it on the table, the teacup shattered in response, and Jinyu picked up the sharp fragment and slashed it towards her delicate face.
"Beware!" The purple-robed man subconsciously shouted, but unfortunately, before the words fell, bright red blood slipped from the brocade jade porcelain white face, but before the blood dropped, the piercing wound had disappeared.
The purple-robed man stretched out his hand in disbelief, the touch was smooth and smooth, and the white and delicate skin was like a goose egg with an eggshell peeled, and there were still traces of half a wound.
The purple-robed man trembled and withdrew his hand, thought about it again and again, and put on a little smile: "Dare to ask the girl how old she is?"
"Hahahaha......" Jinyu's laughter like stone grinding sand made the purple-robed man sit still, "The adult asked the little girl how old she was, but you intend to marry the little girl?" As he spoke, Jinyu's cold and slender fingers pinched the purple-robed man's jaw, the charm in his eyes was fleeting, and two fierce lights hit the purple-robed man's eyes, "My mermaid clan has a common enmity with you, if it weren't for the reciprocity of interests between you and me, do you think you would still have the life to sit here and talk to me?" ”
The purple-robed man forcibly concealed the panic in his heart and the fear in his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Yes, yes, it is the lower official who is abrupt." I also ask the girl to forgive her sins. ”
"Hahahaha......" Jinyu burst out with chilling laughter again, the purple-robed man only felt that his headache was splitting, and the bones in his body were about to be crushed by Jinyu's laughter, just when the purple-robed man was about to collapse, Jinyu finally stopped laughing, and the corners of his bewitching eyes were as cold as ice, "My lord, I had better understand that between you and me, there is only a transaction." When the time comes, if you break your promise, I don't mind burying you deep in my hometown. ”
