Only the howling wind and rain remained in the sky, and the lights and sounds of people in the distance became faint.
Mother Yu has gone back to sleep, and Aunt Feng is alone in the pharmacy, restless.
In fact, after calming down now, the blood stirred up by Ah Li's words has also cooled down.
But no matter what, this is a possibility, a glimmer of hope.
It was this glimmer of light in the distance that made her not want to let it go.
After waiting for a while, she couldn't hold it any longer, opened the door again and walked out.
The heavy rain came in. Aunt Feng took an umbrella and walked along the eaves to the front yard.
When passing by the vegetable garden, the small wooden frame next to the border caught her attention.
The loose wooden frame was leaning over, almost falling apart.
There are several big fat fish inside the wooden frame, one of which is still alive and jumping in the rain.
"Where did it come from?"
Aunt Feng whispered something in a low voice, held up an umbrella and wanted to go over. Then she heard someone behind her calling her, and she turned around.
Yu's mother also held an umbrella and walked over in a hurry, saying, "What should I do? Qianqian hasn't come back yet."
Aunt Feng's face darkened, and her chest seemed to be blocked by something: "Probably with Ah Li. In this weather, we can't go out to look for anyone."
"Will something happen?" Yu's mother was worried, "Or did he really run away?"
"I don't know," Aunt Feng said, "but didn't Ali say that she would wait for our reply?"
Moreover, she still remembered what Ah Li said at that time, not to run away, but to leave.
Her determined expression and appearance seemed to be like a tranquilizing pill, although it was very strange to get this feeling from a nine-year-old girl.
"What if they really escaped?" Yu Ma frowned, "Should we report them?"
"What do you think?"
"Of course I don't want to..."
"Well, one more thing is worse than one less thing." Aunt Feng said.
If these questions continue to linger, it will make people anxious again.
Aunt Feng pointed to the wooden frame over there and said, "Look at those."
Yu’s mother looked over: “What is that?”
"Fish," Aunt Feng said, "we can't have fish here. Ah Li should have brought it back. You take it and cook it. Send some to everyone who drove the mountain road yesterday to deliver food, and then send some to the house.
."
That room refers to the room where Mr. Liang and the servant girl are locked up.
Mother Yu nodded: "Well, I'll find another helper."
The howling of wolves echoed in the distant mountains, mingled with the sounds of wind and rain, making the surroundings seem even more eerily silent.
Qian Qianqian huddled in the small earth hole, his whole body was wet, holding a wooden stick in his hand, lying in front of him, making a defensive posture.
It was hard to tell whether the water on her face was tears or heavy rain. She was shivering from the cold, and she was sobbing with a lump in her throat.
The road down the mountain was difficult. When she came back alone, she kept paying attention to the rocks and sand under her feet, fearing that she would miss the mark in the lush mountain forest, so she did not notice the figure that suddenly rushed out from the roadside.
The man stretched out his hand and pushed her halfway down the cliff.
Fortunately, she did not fall into an abyss, and the vegetation on the road slowed her fall. However, it was difficult to get up, and she discovered that this place was a cemetery.
There are old and new graves, all of which are small earthen mounds almost flush with the ground. Most of them are ownerless and do not leave any tombstones.
Some old tombs have collapsed due to years of heavy rain, and the white bones inside are exposed, and the teeth and bones are hideous.
Qian Qianqian rolled and crawled all the way, crying in fright, but still mustered up the courage to find a way out with a limp.
It was really difficult to find, and the sky was dark. She searched for it to no avail, and found that there was a stream below, at least fifty feet away from her. Jumping down would be a dead end.
Thunder roared in the sky, and lightning split the night from time to time.
Qian Qianqian shrank tightly, all the ghosts and supernatural powers that he had heard about in the past came back to his mind.
But besides fear, she can do nothing now.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the dead branches and leaves that had been smashed by her fall slowly slid down.
Several bolts of lightning stung her eyes, which made her think wildly, always afraid that some terrifying human face would appear in the flash of white light.
At this time, I smelled a strange fragrance under my nose.
She was stunned for a moment, then sniffed hard again to make sure it was not an hallucination.
Where does the fragrance come from?
Qian Qianqian clenched the wooden stick in his hand and wanted to poke his head out to see, but he didn't dare.
The heavy rain washed away the soil and slid towards low places. The rain gradually turned into a stream, almost covering her ankles, but the fragrance became stronger and stronger.
With a "crash" sound, the slope she fell on completely collapsed, and a large amount of mud and rocks washed over.
Qian Qianqian got up in a hurry, left the cave and ran towards the high ground in the dark.
Not long after, the earth cave where she had been hiding was completely submerged in the rocks.
At the same time, the strange fragrance seemed to break out of the prison, filling the sky and earth everywhere.
Xiaorong lay on the bed, turning over and over.
Although Xiao Wu was worried about her, he was still young and couldn't resist the sleepiness, and he could already hear the sound of snoring in his sleep.
Xiao Rong turned around again and looked at Ah Li's bed.
Qian Qianqian probably wouldn't survive if he fell from such a high place...
If she were still alive, would it be possible to guess what happened to her...
It was so fast at that time, I probably didn’t realize it was her who pushed it...
Xiao Rong grabbed the corner of the quilt, her eyebrows were filled with anxiety.
She was just afraid that Qian Qianqian and Ah Li were so close, and she was afraid that Ah Li would tell Qian Qianqian that Xiao Wu had the book.
And Qian Qianqian is so loved by Aunt Feng and Yu Ma, if anything happens to her, Aunt Feng and the others will definitely pursue it.
When the time comes, as long as it depends on Ah Li, it would be best to get rid of Ah Li too.
After all, Qian Qianqian went to the mountain with Ah Li, so she is the most suspect.
Lightning flashed outside the window, and Ah Li's bed was illuminated again.
Xiao Rong looked at the pillows and bedding over there and thought of Ah Li's face and her skill in climbing the mountain today.
This girl...
Xiao Rong thought of Liu Sanniang and Lin Youqing's face again.
shudder.
At the same time, people who also felt equally creepy were the people standing on the southeast enemy tower and outside the Dragon and Tiger Hall.
When thunder and lightning rang out, they did not dare to go out rashly. They could only watch the corpses illuminated from time to time under the lightning from a long distance away.
The surrounding firelight was dim and the atmosphere was solid. No one spoke. Only the loud howling of men could be heard from Luoxia Garden from time to time.
Luoxia Garden is the closest courtyard to Longhu Hall. The beating was so severe this afternoon that Aunt Liu's arm was broken.
It was a tall servant girl next to Mrs. Bian who grabbed the table leg and beat her.
Doctor Zhang took an allegro strap and tied it to Aunt Liu's arm. When the bone was being set, Aunt Liu opened her mouth and cried loudly in pain.
Because of this, there are many medicines in Luoxia Garden now, as well as a set of small tea-making utensils. Although the tea set was almost smashed, it is still no problem to boil some hot water.
However, unlike Aunt Liu's situation, the right leg of the ten-person-long person who was carried was completely disabled.
Such a big boulder fell and only hit one leg, and he was lucky enough not to die from excessive blood loss.
The sky was still full of thunder and lightning, and a huge night shrouded the mountains and plains.
But now the people standing outside the enemy tower and Longhu Hall feel that the strongest shadow is covering their mountain top.
