One hundred and forty-two nights into the garden
The night is getting deeper, there are four figures outside the high-walled courtyard of Shenjiazhuang, the first one is a young man who looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, his eyes are clear as water on his gloomy face, and a middle-aged man follows closely, as if he is afraid that he will do something reckless, a few feet behind them are two slender and weak figures, the beautiful figure is wrapped in dark robes, they always keep this distance from the people in front, echoing each other from afar.
Until the young man at the front stopped on a mound not far from Shenjiazhuang, and the middle-aged man also stood hand in hand with him, the young man looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Second uncle, there is Jiuli Town in front." The middle-aged man looked up, and now there is no longer the slightest appearance of the town here, but has been built into a magnificent garden, with high walls and pavilions and pavilions, showing the magnificent atmosphere.
"How long will it take to build such a large garden?" the crisp female voice sighed softly, "It's just that in this case, where should we go to find that person?" It was Ting Yu who spoke, and the figures in the moonlight were Chen Su and the others.
Regarding Ting Yu's question, Chen Su shook his head, "This place has completely changed, it used to be the entrance of the town, and my house is not far from it." Chen Su said, stretching out his hand and pointing to the direction, he still clearly remembered the two courtyards side by side, "But now there are no traces of that year at all." Trying to look inside, but was blocked by the tall building, Chen Su bent his knees, and the whole person ejected, since the spiritual power entered the cathode realm, coupled with the Yuan power cultivation of the Dan Yuan realm, he has been able to stand in the air, just like the eagle feather at the beginning.
Seeing Chen Su's body hanging in the air without falling, Song Yi knew the details, so he naturally didn't feel strange, but Ting Yu was surprised, and whispered in his sister's ear: "Sister, you see that he can fly, why haven't I noticed it for so many days?"
Ting Yan smiled and poked his finger at his sister's forehead, "Silly girl, his martial arts cultivation is much stronger than you and me, this kind of ability to step into the void is not unusual." β
"Oh?" Ting Yu seemed to suddenly realize, "No wonder my sister made up her mind to follow him, it turned out that she had already seen through his details." β
Ting Yan's smiling face flew over a touch of red, "Stinky girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ting Yan looked at her sister's naughty and cunning smile, and pulled her into her arms, "Little girl, do you dare to laugh at me?" The two sisters frolicked and laughed, and the crisp voice came far away through the quiet night, and Ting Yan suddenly put his finger to his lips and "shhh The second daughter calmed down again.
Chen Su stepped on the void, behind him was the full moon, he was like a night elf, looking down at the garden, this huge garden, which not only built pavilions and pavilions, even the mountains and rivers have been imitated, the layers of courtyards are as many as fourfold, the Jiuli Town has been unrecognizable and has become the territory of the Shen family today, of course, this is also thanks to the power of the Beizhu Mansion. After watching it for a while, Chen Su barely suppressed the anger in his heart and fell on the mound.
"Second uncle, I just took a look, I'm afraid that the entire Jiuli Town has been occupied by the Shen family. Chen Su observed Song Yi's expression as he spoke, and seeing that Song Yi did not speak, he continued: "So, I want to go in and have a look." β
"No!" Song Yi said in a deep voice: "In such a big garden, there may be a lot of masters in it, I don't worry if you go alone, I want to go with you." Song Yi was worried that Chen Su would be reckless, and no one would be around him to restrain him at that time, but he was afraid that he would be eager for revenge, although his strength was good now, but in the face of the huge Shen family, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be fooled.
"Second uncle, don't worry, I know what to do, I'll go in and see if I can find someone to inquire about Dr. Qin's whereabouts, it's more convenient to act alone, as long as I find Dr. Qin, I'll come back as soon as I ask Ming, even if I can't find it, I will come out to look for you before dawn, and I will never do anything out of line." β
Song Yi thought for a while, what Chen Su said was not bad, one person's actions are indeed much more secretive than two people, and Chen Su's strength is far stronger than his own, if something happens, he will definitely be able to retreat alone, and he will be burdensome with himself, "Then, you have to promise that you will come back before dawn!"
Chen Su nodded, "Without further ado, Second Uncle, you take the two of them to find a secret place to hide first, and when it is dawn, I will come back here to look for you." β
Song Yi looked back at the Tingyan sisters, the two of them stood more than a foot away from the mound, looking extremely well-behaved, "It seems that this is the only way, if the three of us stand here like this, being seen will inevitably arouse suspicion, if you come back at dawn and don't see us here, look for us in the north, and say okay, you must come back before dawn." β
"I see, Second Uncle. Under the gaze of Song Yi and the others, Chen Su's figure jumped forward and disappeared into the night like a ghost. What a fast speed!The Tingyan sisters glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes, it turned out that Chen Su had deliberately slowed down his pace all the way before, although Song Yi knew it in his heart, but he couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw Chen Su's figure at this time, and after a few breaths, when the figure disappeared into the high wall, the three of them also turned around and left the mound.
He looked around, hoping to find some traces of Jiuli Town, and observed for a while, but there was no gain, "This should be the entrance of the town back then." Chen Su calculated the distance and direction in his heart, and walked in the direction of his home, while spreading his spiritual power, carefully probing the surrounding situation, almost half a cup of tea, he turned to a lake pond that had been covered with thin ice, winding paths and platforms went deep into the center of the lake, the octagonal pavilion in the middle was probably the location of the house where he and his father lived back then, seeing these, Chen Su's heart couldn't help but feel sour, the Shen Mansion had erased all his connections with home, he used to play in the small courtyard, catch crickets in front of and behind the house, play chess in the courtyard, and even take a nap in the open air, all of which have become eternal memories in his mindγ
Looking at the pavilion in the center of the lake for a moment, Chen Su jumped over the lake and landed in the stone pavilion, stroking the cold bluestone under his feet. Between sighs, Chen Su's eyebrows suddenly condensed, and he secretly said in his heart: "Someone is coming!" He exerted his limbs, his body bounced, and his back was attached to the umbrella cover of the Huxin Pavilion.
Not long after, the six night guards came straight to the stone pavilion, and these people also had some cultivation, almost the appearance of the early stage of the Qi Realm, and the cultivation was mostly just to strengthen the body, and the two people in the head kept complaining, "The old man is also careful, it's so late, and it's such a cold day, even the outer courtyard has to let us check around, in the past two years, the people in the whole town have died, and those who escaped, and the rest are either old, weak, sick or stupid, what else is there to worry about?"
"That's what I'm saying, but this is not a bad thing, I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door, the Shen family has done too many things that hurt the sky and reason in the past few years, it's strange if I'm not afraid!
"Do you think we're aiding evil?"
"Okay, you two, let's say a few words, hurry up and finish the night, Lao Tzu has to go back to sleep!"
"Damn, you Fang San haven't had any benefits in the past six months, right?"
"Hmph, it's a bastard to take advantage of it, let's work hard for the Shen family, what's the picture?"
"It is said that your kid hooked up with the grandmother in the courtyard of the seventh master? No wonder you are in such a hurry to go back, I'm afraid it's not sleeping, right?"
"Hahaha. Everyone laughed lewdly.
"Put your mother's stinky fart, you dare to talk nonsense, be careful with your tongue. β
"Hey, tell me, how did you hook up, so that the brothers can also learn well. β
But Fang San, this kid has a lot of oil and noodles, and he has a woman's fate, so we may not be able to learn it. β
"Fuck off. β
......
Chen Su waited for the six night guards to go away, only to know that this is the outer courtyard of the garden, in fact, it is similar to the garden, it seems that this is not the place where the people of the Shen family live, and according to what the few family members said just now, there should not be many people left in the town, everyone either fled like Lu Liang and them, or died here, but these are no wonders, when the Shen Mansion occupied the place, it was to forcibly recruit the villagers into slavery, and they did not treat everyone as human beings at all.
Chen Su fell from the top of the pavilion, like a leaf falling on the surface of the lake, those few family members had already walked out more than ten zhang away, he quietly followed, since the outer courtyard is not a residence, then they will definitely be able to lead themselves to the place where they live, so that they don't have to look hard, as long as they can find a familiar face, ask the whereabouts of Doctor Qin, and the seventh master they just mentioned, is it Shen Yu? If they happen to meet him, they may be able to let out a bad breath.
Chen Su made up his mind, quietly behind a few family members, they followed the road, kept talking and laughing with each other, until almost a moment later, the leader stopped, "Brothers, I think it's here today, as long as everyone takes care of their mouths, I'll go back to find Manager Jun on an errand, and you can also go to rest." β
"Yo, so I thank Brother Ma for his kindness. β
"Let's go!" the surnamed Ma waved his hand, and when everyone dispersed, he spoke again: "By the way, Fang San, you can go with me on an errand in a while." β
"Why me?" Fang San's footsteps paused, and he reluctantly turned his head.
"Yes, Brother Ma, Grandma Seventh is waiting for him, can't he be skinned if he goes back late?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Leave yours!" choked and stuck out his tongue in fright, knowing that the surname Ma was intentionally leaving Fang San. When the four people left, Fang San was displeased and said coldly: "Ma Cheng, what do you mean by leaving me?"
"Hmph. Ma Cheng pouted and smiled, "Don't think I don't know, the ninth wife of the seventh master is the sister of the head of Jun, right?"
