Chapter XXIV, Crisis
There are abnormal ripples on the surface of the water, and there are people underwater! Chu Luan turned around and ran.
Hearing the sound of something rushing out of the water behind her, Chu Luan turned around, and several black-clothed people attacked her with swords in their hands.
Seeing this situation, the surrounding people fled one after another, running away from all sides, causing Chu Luan to be unable to leave quickly at all.
Seeing that the man in black was getting closer and closer, Chu Luan's heart was horizontal, and he pulled out the hairpin in his hand and hit one of the men in black-
——
Zhixia's side, he finally found the Daisy Rendezvous, but Chu Luan was nowhere to be seen, and the two looked for a long time but never saw anyone.
"The girl is going to be fine, is she going to be fine?" Daisy was a little worried, more of a self-blame. If it weren't for her, she would not have been separated from them if she had to go to crowded places.
Zhixia was also worried about Chu Luan's safety, "You go to the National Teacher's Mansion to find the Yunu girl first, and ask her to bring someone to find it together." The girl should be looking for us too, I'll look for it in a crowded place. With that, the two went their separate ways according to the plan.
……
Qin Yuan followed Ye Cheng and the others to drink and write poems in the welcome building, and the shopkeeper pushed the door in, his face full of apology and anxiety, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, the shop is going to close early today." ”
"Why is that?" Mo Han asked.
Xiao Er leaned against the door and saw that there was no one left and right, so he put his mind at ease and sighed, "A few nobles don't know, I heard that there were assassins outside, and now there is a lot of chaos in the city, so you should go back early." ”
Assassin? How many assassins can mess around like this?
In order to prevent accidents, He Ying proposed that she and Gu Yan send Qin Yuan back, and Mo Han sent Ye Cheng and Shen Yingxue back.
——
The black-clothed men in the lake lost Chu Luan, and the leader of them whistled, and a group of black-clothed people jumped out from all corners.
"What about people?" A burly man shouted in a low voice, he should be the leader of this group.
"The subordinates are not doing well, and they are lost. However, she was injured and should not be able to run far. ”
The man chuckled twice, "That girl is fine." What are you still doing? The lord said, "If you want to live, you don't care about anything else." ”
"Yes." A group of men in black left in their own directions.
In a dilapidated mansion, Chu Luan hid under a big tree, his right arm was wounded, and his white sleeves were stained with blood, which was particularly eye-catching. She immediately tore off a long strip of fabric from the hem of her clothes, and the sound of the cloth tearing made her a little uneasy, for fear of being heard. Chu Luan gritted his teeth and bandaged himself briefly, then stood up and observed the surrounding environment, although this courtyard was dilapidated, it was not hidden enough, and the man in black should be found soon.
It was really careless, she thought that when she arrived in the capital, Alchi's hand would not be able to reach out, but she ignored the others. Those people's exercises, Chu Luan had never seen before. It's interesting, who else wants to kill...... No, trying to catch her.
Chu Luan walked towards the house with his injured arm.
There was only one door left, and the room was littered with cobwebs, dust, and a damp smell of erosion. Walking inside, you can still hear the sound of rats gnawing on wood.
Chu Luan walked and walked, and when he turned around, he saw a small spider sliding down the spider silk and almost fell on her.
The corners of her eyes twitched, "It's terrible." ”
There was a musty smell everywhere in this house, and there was no way to rest here. Those people in black don't know when they will find this place, and they can't contact the National Teacher's Mansion and Zhixia.
She looked around to see what she could do as a weapon. However, the planks here have been soaked soft, or the center has been eaten by rats and termites, so it cannot be used as a weapon at all, and the slightest carelessness will hurt itself, and the gain outweighs the loss.
I don't know whose house this is, so shabby. Chu Luan continued to walk in lightly, and found that a two-person thick tree had grown in the house, and it had broken the roof.
Chu Luan: ......
She didn't care about that, but the environment here was too bad. No wonder no one usually comes here. Chu Luan took a step back in disgust - something was wrong, there was something. She moved her feet, leaned down, plucked a fine golden hairpin from her head, and played with the place she had just stepped on, feeling a hard object underneath. She immediately used the golden hairpin to dig open the soil, and sure enough, she found a palm-sized thing, the hanging tassels of the object had rotted, Chu Luan threw away the golden hairpin, took out a handkerchief and gently wrapped two fingers and gently twisted a little hanging tassel.
It's covered in dirt, and it's impossible to tell what it is. Chu Luan didn't say a word and threw it directly to the ground, trying to smash down some dirt, which did work.
Still couldn't see what this thing was, Chu Luan didn't dare to smash it a second time. I simply took out another handkerchief and wrapped it tightly, but I always felt that it was not enough, and I tore the fabric of the skirt and wrapped it in several layers before I was satisfied with the storage bag at the cuff.
There was a slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Chu Luan was immediately vigilant and quietly moved behind the big tree in the house.
"Boss, is that girl in there?" It was a young man who spoke.
"Check it out." The other leader-like man was very old, probably in his forties and fifties.
Chu Luan pulled out the silver wire tied in the wristband. This set of silver threads was also given to her by Xuan Jun, and it is very tough and can cut the throat of an adult. As long as you master the technique, you won't hurt your hands. Chu Luan has practiced for many years, and he has a thin layer of calluses on his hands, so he basically won't be hurt by himself.
It didn't take long for me to hear the shouting and scolding of the two people coming from the hall, "Damn, what kind of place is this?" The rats are all sperm! ”
"Big brother, I don't think that girl will come to this kind of place, why don't we look for it in other places?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and at this time, a spider half the size of a palm crawled on his feet, and he burst into a foul language in fright, "Forget it, let's go!" ”
Chu Luan quietly listened to the movements of the two, and after making sure that the two were far away, he also prepared to go out.
A few bolts of lightning streaked across the night sky, and then a thunderclap suddenly resounded into the sky. Chu Luan was caught off guard and trembled, and then she laughed at herself, "Cowardly." ”
Another flash of lightning, Chu Luan turned her head inadvertently, and by the light of lightning, she saw the situation of the hall clearly, it was in tatters, and there was nothing special about it. But...... On the table in the hall was a half-destroyed statue. This statue has no head, half of its body is missing, and the other half of its body can be seen clearly by Chu Luan. This should be a god statue, it twists the orchid finger, and there is a flower in its arms, this flower is too dusty, and it is night, it is impossible to distinguish the color, but Chu Luan feels that its shape is very strange, this petal is leaf-shaped, there are a total of nine petals. It seems that this flower has a kind of magic that can attract people to it without noticing. It's as if it can seduce people's souls.
The situation was critical, and Chu Luan turned around and left before he had time to take a closer look.
The thunder resounded through the sky, but the flowers in the house were unaffected and bloomed alone.
