Chapter 66: Warning in the middle of the night
There are three main rooms in total, one in the east and one in the east and west wings. Several men lived in the West Wing, while Liao Shui and Xi Jun lived with Xiaomei. The oil lamp went out, and the whole courtyard was plunged into darkness. Yun Song occupied one side of the earthen kang, meditating cross-legged, silently operating his spiritual power, this was his daily homework, and he had never delayed it for many years. Ge Kunfeng's injuries were not healed, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after lying down. Chai Shien stared at the pasted window in the dark, the courtyard was lit by the moonlight, and the shadows of the trees shone on the window lattice, mottled and swaying, rustling.
Chai Shien pricked up his ears, and heard Yun Song's breath light and slow, and a faint aura drifted over, Chai Shien took a deep breath greedily, and unexpectedly aroused the old tree essence at the dantian. Master once said that he couldn't control this essence, so these days, he has been careful and didn't dare to touch this essence.
And at this time, because of the wisp of aura that Yun Song inadvertently leaked, the old tree spirit was about to move, and it ran around Chai Shien's dantian in a circle, and every time he turned around, Chai Shien would break out in a cold sweat. The sweat was sticky and greasy, with an annoying fishy smell, like a layer of grease floating on top of a bucket of swill. Chai Shien turned over, he couldn't stand the smell himself, don't smoke the two senior brothers. So he got up quietly and wanted to go to the well in the yard to wash up.
There was an old wooden barrel by the well, and it was quiet all around, with the occasional dog barking or two. Chai Shien took off his clothes, scooped up a scoop of cold well water and poured it on his body, and suddenly shivered, and the hairs on his body stood up. He gritted his chattering teeth and scrubbed quickly until the next layer of sludge was clean. He was trembling and getting dressed, and was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly heard someone behind him shout, "Boy, boy!"
Chai Shien turned back vigilantly, and then in the snow-white moonlight, he could see clearly, and there was no one in the courtyard. Listening to the voice, it seemed to be an old man, and there was no other old man in this courtyard except the old man who drove the carriage to bring them here. It's just that Chai Shien can hear that this voice is not him.
"Who?" he asked, lowering his voice, but the voice said, "Boy, you don't have to look for me, go, go, there's danger here!"
"Danger?" Chai Shien suddenly asked nervously, "What danger, who are you, where are you, come out!" The voice just said to him repeatedly, "Hurry up, danger!" without answering his question, and after repeating it three times, the voice disappeared.
Standing by the well, Chai Shien was blinded, could it be that he was dreaming, but the water all over the ground and the goosebumps on his body proved that all this was true, he ran back with his legs, rushed to the side of the kang and shook Ge Kunfeng a few times, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Ge, get up quickly, there is danger here!"
Ge Kunfeng was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly woken up, and opened his eyes sleepily to look at him and said, "Senior Brother Chai, you won't have a nightmare, right? Don't worry, at most, there is a little thief, and we have dealt with it!"
Yun Song, who was meditating on the side, heard the conversation between the two and asked softly, "Senior Brother Chai, you said that there is danger, could it be that you saw something?" Chai Shien has always felt that this handsome senior brother with even a two-third-point female appearance is not easy to get along with. On weekdays, he rarely says a sentence or two, even if Liao Shui chatters next to him non-stop, he can be like an old monk who has settled down, without any chaos. Chai Shien felt that most of such people were scheming, so he didn't pay much attention to him.
"I was just taking a bath in the yard when I heard someone tell me that there was danger here, and told me to leave quickly. Chai Shien told the truth and did not hide it in the slightest. Ge Kunfeng listened to his words, turned over and said, "Senior Brother Chai, could it be that you have also practiced the magic skill of Qianli'er, can you hear what we can't hear? Hurry up and sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”
Chai Shien was deflated for a while, and he also knew that no matter who heard this kind of words, he would be confused. But Yun Song said, "No, I think someone is warning us in the dark." In this way, Senior Brother Ge is injured and needs to rest, Chai Shien, you and I take turns to be on duty at night, each of us for an hour, you sleep first, and I will wake you up after an hour. ”
This is the most appropriate way at the moment, Chai Shien agreed, and lay down again, but he couldn't sleep at all. What was the danger that the man was talking about, who was he, and why did he remind himself? The more Chai Shien thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, and he suddenly sat up, startling Ge Kunfeng.
"Senior Brother Chai, what's wrong with you?" asked Ge Kunfeng, turning his face. Chai Shien frowned, "Have you noticed that this village seems to be a little unusual? Yun Song was still leaning against the wall and asked, "What did Senior Brother Fei Chai find?"
Chai Shien recalled all the things after entering the village, and said to them, "I grew up in the village since I was a child, and I couldn't be more familiar with everything in the village. When we entered the village, it was time for every family to make dinner. The earthen stoves used by the farmers for cooking are either dry firewood, straw and dried weeds from the fields. The smell is very strong, and even after cooking, people will be contaminated with that smell and will not be able to dissipate it for a long time. Sometimes, it even lingers on that for years. ”
"But when we entered the village, we didn't smell the smell you said. Yun Song understood what Chai Shien meant, "Moreover, there doesn't seem to be that kind of smell in that old man and Xiaomei." ”
Chai Shien nodded, "Senior Brother Yun is right. Ge Kunfeng screamed badly, turned over and went down to the ground, "Xi Jun and Liao Shui, the two junior sisters, are still with that Xiaomei, they are in danger!"
The three of them jumped off the kang almost at the same time, their feet touched the ground, and suddenly the mountains shook, and Yun Song turned over with a harrier, kicked through the window and flew out. Ge Kunfeng grabbed Chai Shien with one hand, followed closely behind, and also flew out.
When I arrived at the courtyard, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed. The surrounding houses and huts rumbled and collapsed one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they were in ruins. The three of them stood in the ruins and looked around, but there was no trace of Liao Shui and Xi Jun.
"Ahem, it's still a step slower, the two senior sisters must have been taken away by them!" Chai Shien gritted his teeth secretly, if he had woken up Yun Song and Ge Kunfeng earlier, he might have been able to save them.
"Be careful!" Yun Song reminded the two of them in a loud voice, pulling out the saber at his waist with his backhand. The sword left its scabbard, and immediately bloomed into a soft and powerful pillar of blue light, startling a bird in the night, and its hula fluttering wings soared into the sky!
