Thatched huts.

Li Heping slept for a while and then woke up again, and when he woke up, he found that he was the only one in the house, so he muttered angrily, and got up to boil water to drink.

When the water boiled, Li Zheng came back with an umbrella.

Li Heping leaned against the window of the stove room and looked at him, "Where have you been?" What about Xiao Ming? Didn't you come back with you? ”

"It's coming." Li Zheng slowly put away the umbrella, and then casually put the umbrella under the eaves. As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yueming's figure holding an umbrella appeared on the mountain village path.

He was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the dog was wearing a coat and a hat, probably because he was afraid that if he ran too fast, the wind would bring the rain under the umbrella, so Yan Yueming didn't walk fast. And Rhubarb charged in front alone, rushed for a while and stopped to wait for him, and one person and one dog got along very harmoniously.

Li Heping went to pick him up at the door with a water glass, and saw that his little apprentice couldn't wait to show him what he had gained. He took the wooden card and looked slightly surprised, "Leaning on the identity card on the red boat?" ”

I flipped to the back and looked, "Sure enough, it's her." ”

Li Zheng: "I also went to the river just now, and I found broken wooden planks on the boat in the reeds on the bank. ”

Yan Yueming was puzzled at first why he didn't see the senior outside, but soon, he was attracted by the meaning of Li Zheng's words, "So, it really flipped on the red boat, and the rhubarb floated here along with the cracked plank?" ”

Rhubarb "whined", as if responding to his words.

Li Heping touched his chin and thought thoughtfully, "Now it seems that the identity of the person who left the message can be confirmed, it is your aunt." But after so many years, it is unknown whether your aunt still remembers it and how much she remembers. According to the rules of the Gas Phase Bureau, we are not allowed to rehash the old story after the citizens have been rescued and returned to normal life. Unless we have an official document. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Yueming is also unsure, after all, the aunt is the party, and he can't make decisions for the aunt. So he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go out and ask my aunt first?" ”

Li Heping nodded, "That's all it can be." ”

Now the question is, with the clue in hand, how are they going to get out?

Li Zheng: "After the rain stops, let's go to the palace again." ”

"What about rhubarb? What does it do? Yan Yueming was reluctant to leave Rhubarb in this weird little mountain village, it was too lonely and pitiful, although Rhubarb kept scolding, but it was actually a good dog, but he wasn't sure if he could take Rhubarb out.

Facing the little apprentice's expectant eyes, Li Heping nodded: "Of course you can, as long as it is willing." ”

Yan Yueming went to persuade Rhubarb to go with them, the sound of the rain was murmuring, and the broken thoughts were scattered in the rain and wind, gently and softly, without any weight, and not boring. Rhubarb yawned boredly, shaking his ears from time to time, and he didn't know if he was listening.

When the rain stopped, it was getting dark.

People packed their bags and got ready to go.

Yan Yueming beckoned Rhubarb to go with him, Rhubarb looked at him for a while, and finally wagged his tail and followed. This made Yan Yueming couldn't help but be happy, especially when Rhubarb passed by the butcher's house and ran to the corner of the butcher's house to pee, he couldn't help laughing.

"Wang." Rhubarb was proud when he heard him laugh, and walked majestically to the front of the group, as if he knew where they were going.

Half an hour later, the man re-entered the palace in the same way.

Although she had already been here once, when she came again, Yan Yueming's mood was still very different from the last time. This is undoubtedly an absurd feast, and a fool wants to marry the moon, which makes him wonder if the world consciousness that has compiled this plot is taking the opportunity to satirize humanity.

The palace is still full of lights.

They went all the way inward and came to the small courtyard where the new house was located again. In the small courtyard, red silk wraps around the railing, and the railing surrounds the pond, in which a blood moon is reflected.

Before, Yan Yueming didn't understand why he wanted to dig a pond here that was not like a pond and a bathhouse was not like a bathhouse, but now he understood.

The bride is in the water.

Rhubarb looked very unsociable to the moon, and when he saw the pool, although he did not bark, he turned his head and let out of his nostrils. At this time, Li Zheng suddenly said: "I want to go into the water to take a look." ”

Yan Yueming was stunned: "Into the water? ”

He just glanced at the blood moon in the water, and his brain was a little dizzy, and the senior still wanted to go down?

Li He's face was solemn, "Are you sure?" ”

Li Zheng: "The bride has entered the cave room, shouldn't the next step be to remove the hijab?" ”

Li Heping: "What about bamboo poles?" Or is it a scale? Stand on the shore and do not go into the water. ”

Li Zheng's tone was calm, "I came back last night and tried, but it didn't work. ”

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Li Heping: "I hope it's not for you to collect the body." ”

When Yan Yueming heard this, she chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Senior, will it be dangerous?" Either or ......"

He wanted to say, "Why don't I go", but how can he have such a thick skin and strength? He wanted to persuade Li Zheng not to go, but the senior's will has never been transferred by others.

No, Li Zheng had already taken out a black strip of cloth from the inner pocket of his clothes. The strip of cloth was two fingers wide, just enough to cover his eyes.

“

Rest assured, I don't want to die that much. Li Zheng tied the strip of cloth and stretched out his hand again.

Li Heping looked at him with a cold face, but finally opened his backpack and pulled out a piece of rope with a lock from it. One end of the rope was tied around Li Zheng's waist, and the other end was held by Li Heping.

Yan Yueming instantly understood the purpose of the two things, the strip of cloth blindfolded, so that Li Zheng could try not to meet the blood moon and be affected by it. Of course, this physical level of defense should have limited effectiveness; The rope was meant to pull him back at the end, just in case.

Li Zheng didn't discuss with them anymore, tied the ropes, took off his coat and shoes, and jumped into the water with a "plop".

The blindfolded black cloth did not hinder his perception of the direction, and the pool was not very deep, only about Li Zheng's waist. He stumbled at first, making Yan Yueming's heart tighten, and then he stood firmly in the water.

The next second, he raised his right hand and made a gesture.

Li Heping slowly released the rope, and Li Zheng gradually walked forward. The further he went, the deeper the water became, and the pool water soaked Li Zheng's black shirt, and his face, which was tied with a black cloth, looked exceptionally white in the blood-colored moonlight.

"Senior ......" Yan Yueming was nervous and worried, but she only dared to whisper when she spoke, for fear of disturbing the other party and dragging the other party back.

Fortunately, the pool was not large, and Li Zheng soon arrived near the blood moon, and he only needed to stretch out his hand, and the blood moon was within reach.

Yan Yueming's heart also raised her throat, her eyes stared at the pond water, even if the alarm bell in her heart was loud, she refused to look away. The water of the pool rippled, and the reflection of the blood moon also swayed, Li Zheng firmly stretched out his hand, and his slender fingertips slowly touched the edge of the moon, and then, suddenly, paused.

In an instant, the cold hairs on the back of Yan Yueming's neck stood upside down. The big yellow next to him arched his back and screamed at the moon in the water.

No one saw that Li Zheng's eyes under the black cloth were bright, cold and shining like a metal blade. The next second. He bit the tip of his tongue, the whole person suddenly sobered, and instantly regained control of his body, and that hand, without hesitation, brushed over the blood-colored reflection, revealing the bright moon hidden underneath.

At the same time, Li Heping pulled the rope back hard.

"Whoa!" The sound of water sounded, and Li Zheng took advantage of the situation to retreat, and retreated to the shore in an instant.

"Senior!" Yan Yueming suddenly came back to his senses, and he couldn't care about any rules that couldn't be discovered, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him. The senior's face looked really bad, and at this moment, Li Heping suddenly broke off and shouted, "Run!" ”

Yan Yueming was startled, and before she could react, Li Zheng had already moved. He quickly tore off the black cloth, put on his shoes, picked up his coat and covered Yan Yueming's head, and then pulled him to quickly run out of the small courtyard.

What's going on? What happened?

Yan Yueming was covered by her clothes and could only see the road under her feet. Fortunately, with Li Zheng pulling him, he only needed to run forward desperately, but the speed was too fast, he only felt that his heart was beating like a drum, how could he have time to look back.

In his ears, he was panting heavily, and the barking of a dog. He was supposed to run hotter and hotter, but in fact he ran colder and colder, even freezing cold.

That creepy feeling spreads, and danger seems to be everywhere.

Only Li Zheng's hand holding him was warm, even if it was still wet. Yan Yueming let herself focus on that bit of warmth, ran without distractions, and finally arrived at her destination when she was about to lose her breath.

"Wang! Woohoo! Yan Yueming lifted her coat and saw Rhubarb stop at the courtyard wall, shouting anxiously at them. And behind it, there is a dog hole.

That's the exit.

Yan Yueming was overjoyed, but before she had time to look back, Li Zheng pushed him out of the dog hole. Immediately afterwards, Li Zheng looked back at Li Heping.

Li Heping gasped slightly and looked up at Mingyue.

After the blood moon in the water was removed from the hijab, the moon in the sky also returned to its original state, bright and clear. However, the moon that has been removed from the hijab seems to be more terrifying than the blood moon.

With the small pool in the new house as the center, the moonlight spreads outward, and everywhere it goes, the red silk turns into white flags, and happy events become funerals.

The moonlight shines on the earth, there is no sorrow or joy, only deserted.

"The plot has changed?" Li Zheng asked.

"Obviously." Li Heping said.

"Interesting."

"You're still interesting, but you're not afraid of death!"

In the blink of an eye, the boundless white will spread to this side.

Li Heping glared at Li Zheng angrily, "Why don't you hurry up and wait for Lao Tzu to stay and eat your table?" And you-you can't eat the moon again, don't you wait to be made into a dog meat hot pot?! ”

He became grumpy and scolded the dog. Rhubarb was stunned, and he was about to create him with two angry "Wangwang", but Li Heping grabbed the dog's neck and stuffed it into the dog hole, "Go in!" ”

"Whew!" Rhubarb screamed miserably, was forced to drill through the dog hole, and bumped Yan Yueming into his arms as soon as he went out.

"Rhubarb? Rhubarb, you came out too? Yan Yueming was waiting anxiously over there, and when she saw Rhubarb coming out, her heart was half relieved. Immediately afterwards, Li Zheng and Li Heping also came out, and he was in the mood to look around and find that they were in a forest not far from the Huangyang Inn.

It was about ten o'clock in the morning, and the golden sun was shining through the gaps in the leaves, and the grass on the ground was warm.

"Let's go, go back to the inn first." Li Heping said.
