Chapter 184: Dry Well

Ruan Tang was led by Chu Mu and walked towards the deserted courtyard that Ruan Qingluan said.

In fact, the courtyard is not far from here, and it is only half a cup of tea to walk normally.

But today's Ruan Tang stumbled several times on this short road, if it weren't for Chu Mu pulling her, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground many times.

When he finally walked to the gate of that courtyard, Ruan Tang also completely froze his steps, not daring to take another step forward.

"This king will go and take a look first, you stay here."

Chu Mu knew what she was afraid of.

Ruan Tang's eyes were a little unfocused, and the whole person was stunned, and she nodded after a while.

She just didn't have the courage to step in.

Although she had been convincing herself in her heart that Ruan Qingluan's words were not credible, she might be lying to herself.

She didn't know the whereabouts of Chunhan and Xia Zhu at all, she was just talking nonsense, just deliberately stimulating herself.

But even though she kept convincing herself like this, she was still scared when she got here.

Before Chu Mu entered, he explained uneasily: "This king didn't call you, so you just stay here obediently." ”

Ruan Tang nodded mechanically again.

Only then did Chu Mu push open the gate of the courtyard and walk in.

The courtyard was indeed barren, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there were long grasses and trees, and the ground was full of dead leaves.

The breeze blew, and it was bleak.

According to what Ruan Qingluan said, Chu Mu identified the southeast corner of this courtyard before moving his footsteps.

But he walked for a while, and looked around a few times, but he didn't see the dry wells and big stones that Ruan Qingluan said.

Just as he was thinking, was Ruan Qingluan lying?

A sudden gust of wind blew in his face, and all the dead leaves on the ground were rolled up.

Chu Mu subconsciously raised his arm to block it.

When the gust of wind blew, he lowered his arm in front of him, and not far from the ground that had been buried by leaves, part of the leaves were now blown open, revealing the corner of a stone.

Chu Mu didn't think much about it, and walked there quickly.

He stood by and watched for a moment before crouching down and sweeping away all the leaves.

Sure enough, a large boulder was exposed.

At first, he thought that Ruan Qingluan was talking about big stones, no matter how inconspicuous they were, they were easy to find, but if they were like this, they were not easy to find, especially if they were covered by dead leaves.

And he always thought that the mouth of the well would be part above the ground, but the place where the stone was pressed was level with the ground.

No wonder Ruan Qingluan would say that if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

He tried to move the rock, and it was heavy.

He had no choice but to use his internal force, and only after the breath was concentrated in the palm of his hand did he push forward hard.

The stone was easily pushed away, but there was a foul stench in his face.

He subconsciously used the internal force that was operating just now to force himself back a few steps.

After stabilizing his body, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and his eyebrows frowned tightly.

Although he had not yet seen what was going on in the well, he had seen a lot of dead people, and he had also smelled the smell of dead people who had been dead for a while.

The current smell is the smell of death.

Even though he was already standing a foot away, he still couldn't hide the smell that rushed straight to his head.

He had no choice but to take a few steps back, and when the smell had dissipated a little, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, tied it to his face as a mask, and then lifted his feet and walked again to the well.

Approaching the well, he looked inside.

It's just that it's pitch black inside, and I can't see the inside clearly.

He thought for a moment, then tore off the handkerchief on his face, turned and walked out the door.

Ruan Tang, who was waiting anxiously outside, saw him come out and hurriedly greeted him.

"How? Isn't it? Ruan Qingluan is lying, right? ”

Chu Mu didn't speak, and when he looked at her, his face was a little solemn.

He was sure that there were dead people in the well, but he was not sure if it was her maidservant.

"This king hasn't confirmed yet, it's dark in the well, I need a fire breaker, don't worry, I'll call someone over now."

As he spoke, he pulled her and left.

But Ruan Tang refused to leave, her steps were frozen in place, and her throat was a little choked, and it was only after a moment that she found her voice again.

Cautiously asked, "What does it mean to be unconfirmed?" ”

Chu Mu looked at her, a little unbearable to tell her, but finally he spoke, "There is indeed a ...... in that well Dead, but it's too dark, and the king can't be sure if it's ......"

Ruan Tang was completely stunned.

All her hopes seemed to be shattered in that moment.

Although Chu Mu did not confirm it, all this seems to have confirmed that Ruan Qingluan is not lying.

"Probably not...... They, let's go find someone now. Chu Mu could only comfort her like this now.

As he spoke, he took her hand and walked back to where he was.

But after walking a few steps, Ruan Tang suddenly broke free of his hand, turned around and ran towards the courtyard.

Chu Mu was startled, hurriedly caught up with her, and hugged her.

"You let go of me, I'm going to take a look, I'm going to go down to see, it must not be them, they are not blessed people, how can they die easily?"

Chunhan was indeed a poor person before she met her, but she met her, and in the days with her, she had a good time, which is enough to prove that she is a blessed girl.

Xia Zhu is the same, she might have had to live a hard life in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, but in the end she returned to her, which can also prove that Xia Zhu is also a blessed child.

Just ask these two people, how could God cruelly take their lives.

She didn't believe it, so she had to confirm it immediately, otherwise she wouldn't be at ease.

"Ruan Tang, be obedient, this king will call someone over, you can know immediately, don't do this." Chu Mu hugged her and didn't let her go into the courtyard again.

But Ruan Tang seemed to be crazy, struggling desperately, trying to break free from Chu Mu's embrace.

In the end, Chu Mu had no choice but to click on her acupoint and fly out of the Jing'an Hou Mansion with her light skills.

And Uncle Gu, who had been waiting outside, saw them come out and hurriedly greeted them.

"Uncle Gu, you should gather people over right now."

Although Uncle Gu didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to delay for half a minute, and hurried to King Ning's mansion on horseback.

Chu Mu carried Ruan Tang into the carriage and waited in the carriage with his arms around her.

Ruan Tang couldn't move, but his tears were falling in a hurry, and he was muttering 'please let me take a look'.

Chu Mu was unmoved, and waited until Uncle Gu came over with a team of men and horses, and then unlocked Ruan Tang's acupuncture points, and took her and the team of people and horses to enter directly from the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Ruan Jizhong, who was originally relieved, saw Chu Mu and Ruan Tang go and return, and brought so many guards.

I almost scared my fart.

But he still pretended to be calm and stepped forward: "Your Highness, you are ......"

Chu Mu glanced at him, his eyes full of gloom.

But he did not answer his words, but led the people all the way to the deserted courtyard.

Although Ruan Jizhong couldn't guess what he was going to do, he still followed closely behind them.
