Chapter 55: Murder
The sea of bamboo stretches for dozens of miles, and the green and faint bamboo leaves are blown by the breeze, and the rustling sound is endless.
A gravel trail runs straight through from the outside of the bamboo to a clearing in the middle of the bamboo forest. This place is about two miles away and has been artificially reclaimed.
There are many rice plants at the front, and in the middle of summer, they are bent over by the golden heavy rice. The rice paddies are divided into left and right parts by the trail, and there are two canals next to the path that connect the paddy fields.
Continuing along the trail, there are two vegetable gardens, planted with all kinds of summer vegetables, and with the help of this canal, the growth is quite gratifying in the scorching sun.
At the end of the canal, there is a large pond with lotus flowers, and it is seen that it is constantly coming out of the mouth of the canal, but the depth of the water in it is not reduced in the slightest, it seems that it should be living water, but I don't know where the source is.
From the pond to the inside, there is a wooden house, with only one floor, occupying about an acre of land. The front yard of the wooden house was planted with some unknown flowers, some of which were blooming, but the color of the flowers was not bright, and they were very elegant, just like their owner's house.
In the wing room on the left side of the wooden house, Li Feiyu lay quietly on the bed, I don't know when his body emitted a pale cyan shimmer, with the beating of his heart, his chest fell together, it seemed that there was no major problem, but there was still no sign of awakening.
Not far from the bed, there was a wooden chair, on which sat a man, facing the direction of the bed, with his palms on his cheeks, his elbows resting on the table, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep in this position.
"Smack... Bang Bang"
The door was knocked on non-stop, and it took a while for Qin Xiaolin to wake up, his eyes were half-open, he first looked at the bed, and saw the strange blue light.
"Huh..."Qin Xiaolin's eyes were surprised.
When I came back yesterday, there was no such light, and Brother Li seemed to have a lot of chance. Yesterday, I lied to Senior Sister Xin that Brother Li was not actually dead, but his breath was very weak, and they were far away, so they didn't find out.
Now such a vision can't be seen by others, although Senior Sister Xin has been indifferent to fame and fortune for half a year, but her wealth is moving. No, I can't risk my big brother's life to test others.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiaolin suddenly sobered up, threw a formation coil on the side of the bed, and pinched the spell again, and a red light shot down the formation disc before he got up and greeted it.
As soon as the formation disc came into contact with the red light, there were ripples, and after a while, a white light curtain came out of it, stood next to the bed, and then disappeared.
At this time, looking at Li Feiyu again, he was already lying there like an ordinary person, and the blue light on his body disappeared.
"Young Master Qin, Miss asked if you would like to go to Fang City with us." Xiaomei saw Qin Xiaolin come out with the door half-covered, and closed the door again, mysterious and a little strange.
"I... Go, go. Qin Xiaolin touched his nose, originally planning to refuse, but then thought about the group of evil cultivators who attacked the bamboo forest last month, and he was not worried about the safety of the master and servant, so he changed his words again.
Xiaomei led Qin Xiaolin and walked directly to the door.
Xin Ruyin was standing in the acre of pond in front of the courtyard, looking at the lotus flowers in full bloom inside.
Under the sun, the light and shadow outline her figure extraordinarily gracefully, and together with the lotus flowers, it forms a perfect picture.
"Miss, Gongzi Qin is here." Xiaomei made a statement to make the person in the painting come out of the flower.
"Senior Brother Qin, what's wrong with Li Daoyou?" Xin Ruyin turned around, and her tone was gentle.
Qin Xiaolin lowered his head, thought about it, and said: "Brother Li is no longer a big deal, it should be that when he was fighting with the monk, he used a secret method and unfortunately fell into the water, so he has not woken up." ”
"Yesterday, it was we who looked away and almost buried Brother Li alive." Qin Xiaolin added again, as if he was a little afraid.
"Fortunately, Senior Brother Qin, you are careful." Xin Ruyin remembered the clothes that were soaked in water, and she was puzzled, but she didn't say anything, but when she turned around, she looked inexplicable: "Then let's go." ”
Out of the bamboo forest, it is a shallow land near the river.
Hundreds of meters to the south of the shoal, it is blocked by a mountain cliff, on which there are many strange rocks, about 100 zhang high.
A few hundred meters to the north, the sandy land gradually turns into fertile land, and the land is overgrown with trees, giving rise to a large dense forest, which is also the only way to the nearest city.
Except for the cliffs and dense forests, the shallows are empty all around, and the view is wide.
A group of three people walked not slowly, and they came to the dense forest after a while.
"Senior Brother Qin, how did you and Li Daoyou get acquainted?" Xin Ruyin walked in front and lifted the wind-blown hair behind her ears with her hand.
Qin Xiaolin lagged behind, secretly complaining, this way Xin Ruyin asked too much about him and Li Feiyu, which inevitably made him feel that he had been discovered by this senior sister.
"On that day..."
Qin Xiaolin told him about the general situation of his encounter with Li Feiyu from Tainanfang.
"Qin Gongzi, you said that Li Gongzi is personable, but why didn't I see it."
Xiaomei thought of that ugly, aging face, and seemed to disagree with it, out of dissatisfaction with Qin Xiaolin's delay in delaying Miss to Chengfang City because of the treatment of Li Feiyu, she wanted to continue to speak.
When Qin Xiaolin heard this, he didn't know what kind of suffering Li Feiyu suffered later, and he also remembered that Li Feiyu was still unconscious at this time, and his expression darkened.
"Xiaomei." Xin Ruyin's bright eyes swept Qin Xiaolin's expression, then turned to the maid, signaled her to stop talking, and then comforted: "Li Daoyou, Ji people have their own natural appearance, Senior Brother Qin doesn't have to worry." ”
"I know, Senior Sister Xin." Qin Xiaolin's expression looked better.
Because of the fertile soil and the proximity to the river, this dense forest has no shortage of water, and under the big trees, many tall shrubs have grown.
"We'd better hurry up and come back sooner." Xin Ruyin glanced at the bushes on both sides of the road and spoke slowly.
The three of them sped up, and after a while, they walked away, and their figures disappeared into the dense forest.
After a while, the bushes on the left side of the road made a loud noise, and a middle-aged man in gray came out of it.
This person was tall, and a thumb-thick scar slanted from his left forehead through the bridge of his nose, down his right cheek, all the way to the lower ear, with a hideous face, staring coldly at the direction where Xin Ruyin and the others left.
"It's finally out." The man in gray grinned and laughed silently, making people shudder.
.“ One is seven layers of qi refining, two are three layers, and let you live a little longer. ”
Thinking of the miserable appearance of several accomplices who explored the path last month and died in the bamboo forest, he did not rely on his own cultivation and chased after him, but with a "poof" sound, he galloped in the other direction, obviously reporting the news.
Judging by the aura it revealed, it was one of the three people who were eyed yesterday.
