Chapter 73: Trapped

"Sir, why does this little statue look so much like us!?"

Cui Cheng said tremblingly.

Rao is no matter how bold he is, he can't help but feel a chill down his spine at this moment.

If you talk about one portrait, that's a lot of seven.

"Is it a coincidence?" Li Ping'an said.

Cui Cheng shook his head, "These seven people can match us, but... Missing yours sir. ”

Counting Jing Yu, there are eight of them.

But now there are only seven small statues, but Li Ping'an's small statue is not among them.

Li Ping'an asked Cui Cheng to put the things back in their place, and the two retreated.

"There's something weird about this village." Cui Cheng was really frightened by the little statue.

Li Ping'an said: "I'll talk about it after tonight." ”

"Hmm."

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, Jing Yu was still in a coma.

Cui Cheng had to carry him on his back, and the group didn't have time to greet the little old man, so they prepared to leave.

The villagers woke up early, and it seemed like a festival.

Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers crackled and made the whole small mountain village lively.

There are more people in the village than Li Ping'an imagined, and many of them are not from the village.

It should be a merchant passing by, or someone coming from out of town.

The group refused the invitation of the villagers and just walked out of the village.

"Oops, the soles of my feet are so sore."

"yes, there's finally a village where we can take a break."

A few people talked as they walked, and soon walked into the small mountain village again.

Li Ping'an led the old cow and stood in place, the expression on his face was a little stunned.

Cui Cheng, Cui Cai and the others seemed to have lost their memory, slowed down and walked on the dirt road.

Then they came to the room that the little old man had arranged for them again.

Li Ping'an followed them silently and found that these people were repeating yesterday's behavior.

And they don't seem to be able to see themselves, and no one pays attention to what they say.

Li Ping'an walked around the village and didn't find anything strange.

In the whole village, only he and Lao Niu were unaffected.

Li Ping'an thought calmly for a while, got up and walked back.

Alia held hot water in her hand and nibbled on the cake.

Li Ping'an picked her up without saying a word, jumped out of the house in a few arrow steps, and went straight to the outside of the mountain village.

Since they can't get out, he takes them out himself.

Step out of the village.

Li Ping'an only felt as if he had encountered strong resistance, and the whole person seemed to be struggling in a quagmire.

The more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

I could barely take a single step.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up this idea.

Another day passed.

The village continued to repeat yesterday's scene, Li Ping'an thought about it, and felt that it should start with Jing Yu.

Because in total, except for himself and Lao Niu.

Only Jing Yu fainted directly, and was not controlled like these people.

"Offended."

Li Ping'an read a sentence silently, and stretched out his hand to give Jing Yu a few big-eared posts.

Bang Bang Bang!!

The strength continued to increase, and the white little face turned red.

There was no sign of the other party waking up.

Failed again.

Li Ping'an had to put Jing Yu down and reduce the swelling for him.

That's when I got out.

Suddenly a birdsong came from outside the window and landed next to the well in the courtyard.

Li Ping'an walked over.

He threw a stone and fell into the well.

There was no movement.

The well was so dark that even sunlight could not penetrate it.

That kind of darkness is the pure darkness that Li Ping'an can perceive, as if it is a monster under the abyss.

Li Ping'an hesitated for a moment and plunged into the well.

A faint heat floated up and down Zhou's body.

The stone explores the way, and the well is very spacious.

Across the center of the well is a tree with a straight trunk.

It was tall and thin, like a spear stuck in the ground.

A figure silently landed in front of Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an suddenly spoke, "It's really helpless to take the liberty of bothering, and I hope you will understand." ”

"What a strange person, even the junior brother of the academy has been recruited, and you can be safe and sound."

The other party spoke softly, and it was a woman's voice.

"Your Excellency is also from the Academy?"

"It used to be."

Li Ping'an's tone was calm, "I sent four students to the academy, I don't know where I offended Your Excellency, and I hope Your Excellency can make it convenient." ”

The woman said, "You didn't offend me, and it wasn't my intention to trap you here."

I can't control this formation, and I can't let your friends go.

Unless I untie the formation, but once the formation is lifted, I will dissipate into the world. ”

After a pause, the woman said again, "If you want to blame them, blame them for their bad luck, I won't die anyway, as for you, let's get out quickly." ”

After speaking, Li Ping'an was in a trance.

But he left the well and returned to the courtyard.

After standing in the courtyard for a while, Li Ping'an went back to the house to sleep.

The sun rises as usual.

Li Ping'an ate, cultivated, and then walked around the village.

Leisurely, as if he was a native of the village.

"A bowl of gnocchi and two shortbreads."

"Gotcha."

Li Ping'an was nibbling on shortbread when a voice suddenly came from the opposite side.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

The woman's white dress fluttered in the wind, and the hem of her dress fell together.

The slightly upturned face is exquisitely clear, and the ink hair pours down like a cloud, scattered around the waist

Li Ping'an took a sip of soup and replied, "I promised their parents that they would send them to the academy safely, and I kept my word. ”

"Then you have a solution?" The woman asked.

"No, so I'm thinking."

"Don't waste your efforts, although I don't know why you are not affected by the formation, but if you want to save those people, it is difficult to climb to the sky."

Li Ping'an didn't answer, and ate by himself.

After eating, he wiped his mouth before continuing to speak.

"I haven't asked for the girl's name yet"

"Yan Xun."

Li Ping'an thought for a while, "I met a Confucian student before, and he said that he was looking for another woman surnamed Yan, who had been missing for ten years. ”

The woman was slightly stunned and was silent for a long time, "What does that Confucian look like?" ”

"I can't see it." Li Ping'an said, "Is the person he is looking for you?" ”

"Ten years? It's been 10 years. The woman muttered to herself.

"Why don't I help you find him, how about you let my friend go?"

The woman smiled, "I don't want him to see me like this." ”

The woman is a talker like Jing Yu.

The only difference may be that Jing Yu was born with tuberculosis.

And the woman has been held back by no one talking to her for too long.

Her story is simple, uncomplicated, and not bloody.

Acquaintance because of a spring breeze, understanding because of a misunderstanding, and entering the academy because of a promise.

Happy enmity and revenge to open the rivers and lakes, hand in hand to speed the world.

It was supposed to be a good story, but reality brought it all to an abrupt end.
