Chapter 179: Childe
Miss Fang screamed in shock.
The sound was poignant, and it came far through the dark rain curtain.
"What's wrong?"
As he spoke, Wei Tao had already crossed the courtyard and came to the corridor in front of the house.
I saw a bunch of flames still burning on the ground.
Not far away, the little girl was still screaming with her eyes closed.
His question was not answered at all.
Until she was grabbed by the collar and lifted, shaking violently until she was dizzy.
I finally came back to my senses from the panic.
Howling and crying, "People, human skin! ”
"Where's the human skin?"
Wei Tao looked into her eyes, calming down the little girl who was still proud and ambitious in the afternoon.
She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and spoke slowly.
"It's the maid Xiaohuan, I came out to look for food just now, and in this corridor, I saw her floating human skin, and I was still asking what I wanted to eat......
"Did you find anything?"
Wei Tao put her aside and turned around and asked.
Ou Yinglian came over with a lantern and bowed slightly.
"Back to my lord, Wu Yin found a string of footprints with water stains, and he has chased them over with Gan Lao."
"The people in the other rooms were sleeping deeply, not only Miss Fang's screaming just now, but even the subordinates stretched out their hands and shook them vigorously, but they didn't wake them up."
"The subordinates in each room have carefully checked and found nothing special."
"Where's the room staff?" Wei Tao asked.
"He's sleeping, too, and the house smells of alcohol."
A trace of doubt flashed between Ou Ying's eyebrows, "The subordinates suspect that they have all been incense, but they haven't smelled anything else." ”
While they were talking, Gan Liang and Wu Yin rushed back from the backyard.
"My lord, we didn't go far after us, and the footprints suddenly disappeared, as if a person had disappeared out of thin air."
Wei Tao nodded, "It's a good thing that something happens, it's better than not finding anything." ”
He looked up at the gloomy and dark night sky and took a deep breath of moist and cool air, "Tossing back and forth for so long has made me a little irritable, I hope those guys who have been playing tricks will not disappoint in the end." ”
"Let's go, come with me to see those maids and servants, such a big thing has happened, they are still asleep, it seems that they don't want to continue to eat this mouthful."
At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded from far and near.
"Childe, this house looks pretty good."
A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door.
Wei Tao's ears trembled slightly, and in the midst of the wind and rain, he recognized a deliberately suppressed conversation between men and women.
"Sister Yuan, let's borrow a night here tonight, and how about going to find Grandfather Ling's villa tomorrow?"
"It's dark and rainy, so it's just like this."
After a while, the courtyard door was slammed.
Wei Tao tilted his head slightly and winked.
"It's coming, it's so late, who's it?"
Ou Yinglian responded with a stack of voices and walked quickly to the door.
"Who are you, and what are you going to do?"
She picked up the lantern and looked through the crack in the door at a group of warriors with swords and swords, her voice suddenly trembling.
The hand behind his back made a twelve-fast gesture.
"This sister, we just borrowed a night and left early tomorrow morning." A soft female voice said.
Ou Yingpian was embarrassed, "There are so many of you, and you all have ...... with blades"
Swish!
Suddenly, the figure flickered.
A man with a long knife flew to his feet.
Jumped over the courtyard wall and stood behind Ou Yinglian.
"How did you get in?"
Ou Yinglian screamed, retreated again and again, and almost hit the door frame.
Wei Tao in the corridor was amazed by her acting skills.
"I'm just telling you, if we are really bad people, it is impossible to stop our intrusion with this courtyard wall."
"So, my son-in-law is really just spending the night, and he doesn't mean anything else."
The man with the long knife on his back said a few words coldly, then rose up again and came to the outside of the courtyard.
There was a soft squeak.
The door was opened.
Ou Yinglian smiled all over his face and welcomed the person in.
There were twelve people on the other side.
Two young men and women, escorted in the middle, quickly crossed the courtyard and approached the corridor.
Wei Tao was watching them.
They also set their sights on it.
Fortunately for the others, an old man in the team with his waist bent up, his pupils were slightly sideways when he saw Gan Liang, and he took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally, standing in front of the pair of young people.
"You're the master here."
The only woman in the team raised the paper umbrella, revealing a weak and beautiful face, "We are offended by disturbing in the middle of the night, just looking for a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and I hope that Your Excellency can make it convenient." ”
As he spoke, the man who was carrying the long knife just now stepped forward and bowed with his fists in his fist.
Present a silver ingot in both hands.
The girl continued, "A little money is not a tribute. ”
"It's convenient for you to be with others, and it's convenient for yourself."
Wei Tao nodded slightly, and said with a gentle smile, "Yinglian, take a few distinguished guests to the side courtyard to rest." ”
"Yes, sir."
Ou Yinglian carried the lantern and turned her head to look, "Everyone, please come with me." ”
The group quickly followed and went to the courtyard that was originally arranged for Wei Tao and others to live.
"Gan Lao, what do you think?"
Wei Tao watched them disappear around the corner of the hallway and glanced back.
"Back to my lord, looking at what they mean, it seems that they are going specifically for that summer manor, but I don't know what the purpose is."
Gan Liang thought about it and said slowly, "The strength level of the other party, the old servant who looks like a housekeeper should not be underestimated, and the highest level of the other guards is the realm of the second turn of qi and blood, so there is nothing to worry about." ”
"As for the pair of young men and women, the young man known as Gongzi has a bright light in his eyes, and his strength level is stronger than that of the old man, but it is definitely not as good as the adult.
There is another girl, please forgive her old and clumsy, but I can't tell if she has practiced martial arts. ”
"I don't see it either."
Wei Tao said slowly, "I thought it was just a rebellion by an evil martial artist who didn't have long eyes, and we came here to find someone to kill, but it didn't work out, but it developed in an increasingly strange direction." ”
"Gan Lao has also been in the temple for two or three years, have you ever encountered a similar task before?"
"The old man participated in the most, that is, the task of suppressing the evil martial artists that the adults said.
As for something as strange as this, I have only experienced it once in the past three years, and in the end, it was the Lord of the Audience who personally intervened to calm down the situation. ”
"Oh?"
Wei Tao laughed, "Next, you can use the story of Gan Lao to drink and kill this long rainy night." ”
……………………
"Kuibo, you suddenly stopped in front of me just now, could it be that the owner of this mansion is still a hidden master?"
In the dry and bright room, the boy in brocade took off his soaked leather boots, put his feet into the freshly burned medicinal liquid, and exhaled a long breath of turbidity.
"The old slave of the master of the house didn't see it through, but the old servant beside him should be a martial artist with three turns of qi and blood."
Quiber stood to one side, his cloudy eyes looking out the window.
"In addition, there is also the woman who opened the door for us, who has also cultivated to the transformation of qi and blood.
Although she tried her best to hide it, the small habit of moving and still, step by step, line by line was difficult to hide. ”
The brocade boy frowned slightly, "Oh? It's still Quiber, I can't tell from beginning to end. ”
"The old slave is not powerful, but he lives longer and sees more people, so he naturally has experience."
When Kui Bo said this, he sighed quietly, "For the young master, no matter what the master here is, there is no need to worry, what really makes the old slave unable to see through is the young lady you saved not long ago." ”
"Don't worry about Quiber, I've got my own plans."
The boy in brocade smiled slightly and picked up the tea cup on the table.
Call......
A whirlwind whistled through the low altitude and slammed on the doors and windows, making a series of crackling sounds.
Suddenly, a scream came.
The boy in brocade suddenly raised his head.
Quiber's body moved, and in an instant all the candles were extinguished.
The next moment, he had already reached the door, looking out carefully.
There was a soft squeak.
Wei Tao put down his wine glass and turned his head to look.
I saw that the door was pushed open and a crack was made.
The cold wind mixed with moisture kept pouring in.
Gan Liang had already gotten up and came to the door.
It was empty outside, only the sound of the rain pounding on the eaves of the roof.
Right now.
A scream came from the direction of the side courtyard.
"My lord, something seems to have happened to those people."
Gan Liang frowned and looked towards that place, "There are really some evil sects in this place, these people have just moved in, and they have encountered a situation. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, let them top up in front first."
Wei Tao sat still, "Then we may become bystanders, and discover clues that we didn't notice when we were in the game before." ”
"Huh!?"
Gan Liang nodded, but lowered his voice suddenly, "The subordinates saw Miss Fang again, coming from the direction of the side courtyard. ”
"You call her and ask what's going on."
"My subordinates understand."
After a while, Miss Fang was holding a cup of hot tea, her body still trembling slightly.
"Just now I was talking in Sister Yuan's room, and suddenly I heard a scream.
Later, everyone went out to check, only to find that one of their guards had died in the hut. ”
"How did that man die?" Wei Tao asked.
"He, his stomach was cut open, and the internal organs flowed all over the ground."
Miss Fang whimpered and cried, "It's terrible, it's the first time I've seen a dead person, it's really terrible." ”
"I'll go take a look."
Wei Tao stood up, "You guys should be vigilant, and immediately raise a warning if there is a situation." ”
