About ten steps away from the three of them, there was a tree. A person was sitting on the branch and looking down. As if she was sure of something, she tapped her toes and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
After not waiting for long, I saw a bright light coming not far away. After a while, I heard Yong'an shouting loudly from far away: "Young Master, Xiaogu! Where are you!"
When Hua Xiaogu heard this, her heart, which had been hanging, fell back into her stomach. She immediately jumped up, grabbed a torch, shook it high, and shouted over there: "Yong'an! We are here!"
Sure enough, it was Yongan who came in a hurry with people from the Tian family. A lantern illuminated the surroundings, and everyone tied the newly brought horses to the carriage, and the group headed to the next town. Yongan sat on Hua Xiaogu
On the board of their carriage, they smiled at Hua Xiaogu through the carriage door: "How about it, I'm pretty fast, right?"
Hua Xiaogu quickly praised Yongan and said by the way: "We were scared to death just now. We heard someone screaming, and it seemed that they were not far from us."
As he was talking, the horse bumped heavily. After a while, the carriage stopped again. The voices of the people from the Tian family outside the carriage came into the carriage layer by layer, as if they were discussing something.
Tian Lanqing looked out through the door of the carriage and asked, "Why did you stop?"
"Oh my God! This, this, this..." Yong'an's voice came in, he stretched out his hand to open the carriage door, and said to Hua Xiaogu with his eyes: "Come out and take a look! There are many corpses around!"
Hua Xiaogu's heart skipped a beat, and then he smiled again: "Where did the corpse come from? Could it be that we just smoked to death a lot of insects and snakes?"
Yongan ignored her, jumped under the carriage, and shouted: "Human corpse! Human!"
Hua Xiaogu's expression changed. She was about to open the carriage door and look down, but was stopped by Tian Lanqing. She turned her head and looked at Tian Lanqing, then she met the worried eyes.
"Let me go and take a look. You can sit well in the carriage." After Tian Lanqing finished speaking, he opened the door and went down.
Hua Xiaogu knew in her heart that Tian Lanqing was probably afraid that she would be frightened when she saw the ugly corpse at night. She simply sat back in the carriage obediently and tilted her head to listen to the bustling sounds of people outside the carriage.
After a while, Tian Lanqing came back again.
"What's going on? Is there really a corpse?" Hua Xiaogu reached out and grabbed Tian Lanqing's sleeve and asked.
Tian Lanqing nodded: "A total of nine corpses were found. They were all wearing black clothes and covering their faces, and they were holding big knives in their hands. Judging from their positions, it seems that they have been surrounding us just now."
"Around... around us?" Hua Xiaogu was shocked, and a trace of cold sweat slowly seeped out from his back: "Could it be that..."
"Probably their target was us, but why they died so suddenly... I didn't take a closer look. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Hua Xiaogu nodded quickly, but was extremely scared: "Let's hurry on first and wait until it's safe. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."
The body was marked by everyone and left in the small woods. After a while, everyone continued on their way to the next town's Shangtian family's inn.
It was late at night, and something like this happened. No matter how carefree Hua Xiaogu was, she was still a girl. She felt a little cold in her heart, always feeling as if she was being watched secretly by someone. Tian Lanqing naturally felt the chill in Hua Xiaogu.
, he patted her back gently and comforted: "No matter what, we are fine now."
