Butler Liu turned around and left after bringing them here. It seemed that he had more important things to do. He was probably waiting for the papermaker who would never come back.
Butler Liu was not here, so everyone lost their worries while talking. Kuang Hongyi's experience was similar to that of Yang Xiao and others. They also ran into the third young master of the paper man shortly after entering the water. After the two of them saw through it, they immediately drove away in the boat, heading in the direction of the floating Kongming Lantern. Go.
Just as Yang Xiao thought, these two teams had never released a Kongming Lantern.
The accident also happened at this moment. Kuang Hongyi and the others bumped into a boat with a white lantern hanging on the bow. They thought it was a teammate. However, when they got closer, they saw that the person standing on it was the long-dead Sun Amao.
Fortunately, the two reacted in time and finally avoided a collision at the last moment, but before they could take a breath, the other party actually chased them from behind and grabbed their boat.
At this moment, Kuang Hongyi and the others did not dare to run anymore, because in the mist in front of them, there were vague shadows of several boats, with people standing on them.
Just like that, Sun Amao's boat hit them from behind, and then Sun Amao and another bloated drowned ghost climbed onto their boat with weird movements.
Kuang Hongyi relied on his good skills and found the right opportunity to jump onto Sun Amao's ship after maneuvering for a while. However, Xu Su was not so lucky. She was caught by Sun Amao, and then three figures were entangled together and fell. Got into the water.
Kuang Hongyi held the pole and wanted to help, but it was too late. After a struggle in the water, the three figures sank.
Kuang Hongyi sighed solemnly, "Later I saw the big red lantern rising in the distance, so I drove over to it by boat, and then I landed ashore, but it was a pity that Xu Su..."
"Brother Kuang has a kind heart, so don't blame yourself too much for what happened to Miss Xu Su." Shi Dali consoled him considerately: "After all, no one wants to see something like this happen."
"Yes, yes, brother Kuang, you have tried your best." Shi Guanming also agreed.
In comparison, the experience of Shi Dali and the two was much simpler. They did not encounter any strange things. Shi Dali explained that he was a crew member and knew a lot about waterways, but he had never seen someone carrying incense on the bow of a ship. According to the rules, after the boat left the sight of Butler Liu and others, he checked the incense burner, and sure enough he discovered the problem.
It is true that the top layer of the incense burner is made of incense ashes, but what is buried underneath is white rice soaked in blood. This is not something to ward off evil spirits at all, it will only attract evil spirits!
After discovering the problem, Shi Dali decisively threw the incense burner into the lake. Afterwards, they tried to find the other two groups on the lake with rising fog to tell them, but they got lost. In desperation, they had to follow the guidance of the red lantern and return to the shore.
"If we had met Brother Shi earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so much, and Sister Xu Su wouldn't have died." Yang Xiao said with some emotion.
After observing the surroundings and finding no one eavesdropping, Kuang Hongyi suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Everything is wrong in this Feng Mansion. This time they clearly asked us to find the third young master, but in fact they asked us to die. Xu Su didn't come back. They asked no one Do not ask."
"And the boat I brought back was obviously a sunken ship! I'm afraid it has sunk in the lake for some time. I saw many similar boats in the fog. How come there are so many sunken ships in this lake? How many people died?"
Shi Dali nodded and his expression became serious: "According to what you said, most of the people who died in the lake were servants of the mansion. I suspect that Mr. Feng is using the lives of his servants to extend his own life. That Sun Amao His death was probably planned by them."
After chatting for a while, a servant from the mansion hurriedly came over and said that Butler Liu had asked a few people to go back to their rooms to rest first. He also gave a mysterious warning that what happened tonight must not be spread to anyone.
When they walked to the room, Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi paused and saw a red lantern hung on both sides of their door.
Opening the door, Yang Xiao saw that Su Tingting was still lying on the bed, and seemed to be really asleep. If he listened carefully, he could hear slight snores.
The servant who sent them back explained that he was worried that Su Fu Ke would have a hysterical attack at night and disturb their rest, so he begged the doctor to give him a soothing herbal medicine. Daybreak.
"The newcomer is so nice. He's heartless and falls asleep." At this moment, Yang Xiao was even a little envious of Su Tingting.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Kuang Hongyi staring at him with a strange look, "Ahem, brother Chu, you are a newcomer too."
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to react. Unknowingly, he had assumed the role of an old player, and then he waved his hands and smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because I have been with Brother Kuang for a long time, and I have made too much progress. "
Kuang Hongyi did not dwell on this matter. After sending away the servant, Kuang Hongyi walked towards Su Tingting and confirmed that he was asleep. Then he took Yang Xiao to another bed and sat down. His whole temperament was astonishing. After a change, he rolled up his trouser legs, and there was a piece of blood-stained cloth tied to his calf. When he opened it, there was a scar.
The scar was very fresh and was still oozing blood. The wound was very smooth. Yang Xiao immediately thought of the short knife stuck on the edge of the boat.
Kuang Hongyi gritted his teeth, with a hint of ferocity hidden in his eyes, "That bitch Xu Su wants to kill me!"
"What's going on?" Yang Xiao asked.
"It was inconvenient for me to say something clearly in front of Shi Dali and the others before, but Brother Chu, you and I can trust you. That's it. After our ship was overtaken by Sun Amao, I found that Xu Su was not panicked at all. I She didn't answer anything I asked her, and Sun Amao and the other drowned ghost... they seemed to only be able to see me!"
"It's grave soil." Yang Xiao immediately realized, "Xu Su had grave soil in her mouth."
"That's right." Kuang Hongyi nodded fiercely, "I thought of it soon, so I asked her for it, but she didn't give it to me. She actually used a knife on me. This bitch is so bad. She knew that as long as When one of us dies, those things will leave.”
"Those things only kill one person at a time?" Yang Xiao seemed to have grasped the key point.
"Well, that's usually the case."
Later, Yang Xiao went to find medicine. There was still some medicine left when Su Tingting was injured. Kuang Hongyi's method of treating the wound was very professional, and he had obviously done targeted exercises.
After re-bandaging the wound with a clean cloth, Kuang Hongyi leaned on the bed and let out a long breath, "Brother Chu, that Shi Dali is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He discovered something was wrong with the incense burner on the bow of the ship early in the morning, but he didn't say anything. , you must be wary of him."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Yang Xiao patted Kuang Hongyi's arm, "Besides, Brother Kuang is here."
"Yes, if you and I work together, we will definitely be able to get out!"
