Chapter 16: Hallucinations

Li Yue's face turned pale, and she asked in a complaining voice: "Village Chief, do you want everyone to rebuild that road?" ”

Before Qiao Xuan could answer her, she waved her hand again and again, "No, no, that road is very evil, we don't dare." ”

"Just build that road!" Qiao Xuan was domineering and resolute, "You go back to the village now and tell the people who have signed up like you, they can do what they want, if they don't do it, I will go to the town to find some people later." ”

"It's still the same sentence: There are more people who want to earn this money, and you can't love it."

Li Yue was embarrassed, who doesn't want money! But you can't ask for money and die, right?

"Where is that road you are talking about?" Qiao Xuan turned to face Li Yue with a very serious expression.

Li Yue stretched out her finger and pointed, "Na! If you go up from that path, there will be a fork, just choose the road with a big willow tree, and follow it to Taoyuan Village. ”

Despite her reluctance, Li Yue still seriously pointed out the direction of that road to Qiao Xuan.

"Village chief, I don't dare to go with you! I'm old and young," she muttered, her round body backing away.

Qiao Xuan sneered, "I didn't want you to go, I scared you" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Xi He and Xi Yan beside her.

"I'll go with you" Xi He immediately spoke, it was impossible for him to let Qiao Xuan face the unknown danger alone.

"I-"

Xi Yan was about to say that she was going to talk when she was interrupted by Qiao Xuan, "You go back with Li Yue." ”

Li Yue's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Yes! Miss Xi, let's go back first, the village chief still has something to do, and we will be delayed if we stay. ”

"Don't worry! We will come back well" Qiao Xuan winked at Xi Yan, and the whole person was completely relaxed.

The sun gradually rose, and the sound of insects sounded from time to time in the overgrown weeds, and Xi He wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

Qiao Xuan, who was walking beside him, breathed steadily, holding a wooden stick in his hand and beating the knee-high weeds in front of him as he walked.

"Miss Qiao," Xi He cleared his throat, "Do you think the atmosphere on this road is weird?" ”

Although from time to time there are birds in the trees and insects chirping constantly, it just gives people a sense of dead silence, as if a pair of big hands are slowly tightening for no reason, making people suffocate.

The trees on both sides of the road are tall and thick, and the branches are very thick, but when you walk under the shade of the trees, you don't feel the slightest coolness.

Qiao Xuan snorted out laughing, his eyebrows and eyes crooked, and said jokingly: "I thought you would say that you have a feeling of being stared at by something." ”

The smile on the corner of Xi He's lips froze, and he suspected that Qiao Xuan was telling the truth in a joking tone.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of the two of them, and when they looked at it, there was nothing, making people wonder if they were hallucinating.

"He'er, why didn't you go to the academy to study? What are you doing here? A gentle female voice came not far behind Qiao Xuan and Xi He.

"Yes! Didn't Dad let you concentrate on studying! Why are you so disobedient? Another man's deep voice was mixed with anger.

Xi He's eyes turned red, and he muttered, "Dad, mother?" ”

He was about to turn around with grief in his heart, but soon he thought that his father and mother had died not long ago, and it was impossible for him to appear here.

Qiao Xuan stared at Xi He, who was caught in his emotions, his eyes were full of appreciation, not bad! The heart is firm, and it can retain its reason in the midst of confusion.

She stood on tiptoe and gently patted the tall Xi He's shoulder three times, "Don't look back!" It was a fantasy. ”

The confusion on Xi He's face gradually faded, his eyes became clear, and the voice behind him disappeared, as if he had just had a dream.

Qiao Xuan glanced up at the sun above his head, "Keep walking!" ”

The air was sweltering, there was not the slightest wind, and the road seemed to be long, long, winding in the verdant greenery.

After walking for a while, there was a faint sound of children laughing and playing behind him, the sound was hazy, but the words were not real, giving people a feeling of trance.

At this time, not only Qiao Xuan, but even Xi He was sure that this road was really boring.

"Aren't you afraid?" Qiao Xuan asked Xi He curiously.

In the past, she saw many big men crying and crying in fright when they encountered this kind of thing, and their legs trembled, but Xi He was calm, except for the fact that he had just heard his father's voice and was a little out of control, he was very calm all the way.

Xi He nodded and shook his head, the smile on Qiao Xuan's face deepened a little, he was actually afraid, but he couldn't let Qiao Xuan take the risk of being a little girl.

"Bring this well."

Qiao Xuan took out a peace charm from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xi He's hand, his palm was very large, his fingers were slender and white, and his nails were trimmed round and neat, very clean.

She couldn't help but look at it a few more times, as a hand control, there was no resistance to a good-looking hand.

Xi He hadn't seen Qiao Xuan's ability except for Qiao Xuan who gave them the money they had taken away that night and whether they could come back, but he also knew Qiao Xuan's ability from Xi Yan's mouth.

He generously put the talisman given by Qiao Xuan into his sleeve, "Thank you!" ”

As the two were talking, a delicate cry suddenly came from behind them, "Help! Woooooooo ”

"The son in front of him stays, bother to help the little girl!"

Xi He turned a deaf ear and followed Qiao Xuan forward, and the voice behind him finally disappeared after a few sounds.

Qiao Xuan's eyebrows were dyed with a bit of coldness, and she stared at the tallest willow tree in the distance through the layers of trees.

There was no wind, but the branches of the tree swayed, as if thousands of hands were waving, and the trunk was so thick that it took four or five adult men to hold hands to surround them.

"What's wrong?" Sensing that Qiao Xuan's momentum had changed, his footsteps gradually slowed down, Xi He asked.

He followed Qiao Xuan's gaze, and when he saw the overly tall and overly thick willow tree, his eyes flashed with a moment of surprise.

"You stand here, don't go over!" Qiao Xuan told him to leave, and after touching Xi He's worried eyes, he added, "Don't worry! I made a quick decision and was back soon. ”

Qiao Xuan said that a quick decision is really a quick solution, because to a large extent, when she says that she wants a quick solution, she usually can't beat the other party, and uses the strategy of taking advantage of his unpreparedness to kill his dog.

She casually walked towards the willow tree, which exuded a powerful yin aura.

Every time he got closer, the branches of the tree writhed more and more wildly, as if he was eager to try and couldn't wait to trap Qiao Xuan in the ravage.
