Although the summer night is not very cold, the cool breeze blows through and there is a hint of coolness.
Fortunately, the black tights Ji Jun wore were made of better material. The ancient clothing materials are all natural. She feels like a kind of silk, which is thicker than silk, soft, silky and close to the body.
I had sweated a little due to nervousness just now, and the clothes were a little damp, but the material was of relatively good quality, so even if it got wet and stuck to my body, it wasn't uncomfortable.
In Ji Jun's previous life, sometimes he felt very different when wearing clothes made of non-natural materials, especially when they were wet and stuck to his body.
That kind of clothing feels sticky and greasy when it sticks to your body, as if you haven't showered in many days.
However, this dress makes me feel like I have a big towel draped over my wet body, which is very comfortable.
But the most annoying and depressing thing at the moment is mosquitoes!
It may be due to the smell of sweat, the airflow between exhalations and inhalations, and the heat of the body. In addition, being among dense leaves and surrounded by flowers and grass, it is inevitable that there will be water accumulation. Small ditch.
So it attracted a lot of mosquitoes.
These mosquitoes excitedly bit several people. Ji Jun did not dare to move easily, so he could only wave his hands to drive them away, but it was obvious that he was "no match for ten thousand mosquitoes with two fists"!
Ji Jun feels that after tonight, he will probably gain weight!
Li Mi discovered this situation and whispered in Ji Jun's ear,
"Your sachet?"
Ji Jun suddenly remembered, oh, after all, he had no actual combat experience.
Before coming, Li Zhan asked Haitang to make mosquito repellent sachets for each of them.
However, Ji Jun was so nervous that he forgot the existence of this sachet.
In other words, soldiers have to drill and athletes have to train every day!
When those dancers and opera actors are not performing, they spend most of their time rehearsing!
No matter how well prepared you are, it’s easy for your mind to go blank when you’re nervous!
And if you practice regularly, at critical times, when your brain can't keep up temporarily, you can use habits to cope with the situation at hand.
Li Mi took out his sachet and quietly stretched it towards Ji Jun's side.
There are several medicinal powders in this sachet. When the mouth is opened, the smell slowly evaporates, which can repel mosquitoes and flies.
Ji Jun was holding one in her hand, and Li Mi was holding one behind her. In this way, Ji Jun's front and back would no longer be harassed by mosquitoes.
However, Li Mi was not so lucky. Li Mi had to use his own internal power to repel mosquitoes.
After about an hour, Ji Jun's legs felt a little sore, and she could only grit her teeth and hold on!
Because if they retreat at this time, Li Zhan, Li Mi and Ji Jun will definitely attract the attention of those guarding the flower garden.
Ji Jun had no choice but to worry that staying in this position for a long time would cause poor blood flow in the lower limbs, which would lead to local ischemia and hypoxia, or calf cramps, which would be difficult to deal with!
Ji Jun had no choice but to gently knead her already sore calf with his hands. Suddenly, a hand stretched out to help her knead it. Of course, the strength was stronger than Ji Jun's, and the strength was just right!
Because Ji Jun's posture when squatting on the tree was not very comfortable, it was awkward to massage it himself, and the strength was not enough, which made him very tired.
At this moment, Li Mi whispered in her ear,
"If you're offended, don't move. I'll help you."
Ji Jun felt her face was a little hot, but she didn't refuse. Don't pretend at this time. It is true that this time is to conserve physical strength.
If you feel good about yourself and grit your teeth and persevere, after a while, you may faint or lose your legs, which will cause even more trouble for others.
However, my heart is really warm!
After another half an hour, Ji Jun found a group of people walking out from under the flower bed. Then the lid was closed, and the soil that was originally piled next to it was covered again.
From Ji Jun's point of view, there is nothing strange, but it seems that these people move quickly and neatly, and they work neatly and neatly without being sloppy. It seems that they have practiced it countless times.
The whole process is really short, flat and fast!
But Ji Jun suddenly thought of a problem. There were ten of them walking down, and eight of them were standing outside.
But eleven people came up!
Because the light was dim, no difference could be seen on the clothes, so who was the eleventh person brought out?
Why did it take so long?
Why bring out such a person?
Of course, this is probably something you can’t figure out even if you try hard enough, so don’t think about it.
When Ji Jun saw these people leaving, Li Mi secretly asked in his ear,
"Should we catch up? See what these people are doing? Or see what's below?"
In the darkness, Ji Jun frowned slightly and shook his head slowly.
Ji Jun felt that if he was not a burden, he might suggest Li Zhan and Li Mi to take a look.
But having themselves as a burden will definitely distract them. If they are distracted, they will easily make mistakes and put them in danger.
Based on the current situation, a word came to Ji Jun's mind, which is "seeking progress while maintaining stability"!
Now is not the time to take risks. We have already gained a lot tonight, so we can't be too greedy.
After Ji Jun asked Li Mi to take him down from the tree, Li Zhan came to them silently without knowing when.
Li Zhan asked quietly,
"Miss, should I follow you?"
Ji Jun shook his head and thought for a moment, then said to the two of them,
"Brother Li, you and your cousin help me look around. I want to see the place where they removed the soil and flowers just now."
Li Zhan responded, whispered a few words to Li Mi, and then ducked into the darkness.
Ji Jun knew that he was observing and sentrying in the dark.
Li Mi accompanied Ji Jun to the flower garden.
Based on the softness of the soil under his feet, Ji Jun roughly detected the location where the soil had just been moved.
She walked slowly along the diameter edge of the removed soil part of the flower bed, feeling the strange movements of the Gu insects in her body. She found that starting from a certain position, the Gu insects began to beat very abnormally!
The whole Chen Guo Mansion was dark. Ji Jun was very unfamiliar with Chen Guo Gong Mansion. He was afraid of getting lost when he went to the gardens during the day. At night, he was even more "road crazy"!
Therefore, when she felt the action of the Gu worm in her body, she could not identify its location.
What's even more bizarre is that after Ji Jun followed this direction and was some distance away from the flower garden, the Gu insects were still throbbing.
However, even around the flowerbed, if Ji Jun moves to a position that deviates from some angles, the Gu insect's movements will no longer be so violent.
Ji Jun asked Li Mi in a low voice,
"Cousin, do you know where we are now in Chen Guogong's mansion?"
Li Mi looked at the sky, then looked around, and said,
"This points to true north."
True north?
Ji Jun remembered that the "Kan Gua" in the Bagua corresponds to the north.
The correspondence between the Bagua and the Five Elements is as follows:
Dried and converted into gold,
Kun and Gen are soil,
Zhen and Xun are trees,
The ridge is water,
Li is fire.
"Water?" Ji Jun suddenly asked quietly, with a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"Cousin, keep walking in this direction, where are you?"
Li Mi looked around, thought for a moment, and seemed to be searching on the map of Duke Chen's Mansion in his memory.
Soon, Li Mi said,
"There are two lakes in Chen Guogong's mansion, and there is one in this direction. The spies said that this lake is relatively small. In summer, the lake is covered with reeds and there are no flowers such as lotus for viewing. Therefore, the female relatives do not like it. It is said that there are At that time, Chen Zhuoxin liked to fish here alone."
"Is it far?" Ji Jun had some ideas.
Li Mi said, "About fifty meters."
Ji Jun thought for a while, then made up his mind and said, "Let's go! Take a look!"
The three of them quietly left the flower garden, and based on the movement range and direction of the Gu insect, walked gently towards the lakeside!
Leaving the flower garden, the three of them first passed through several small rockeries. It looked like the grass between the rockeries had not been cleaned for a long time. Some of the grass was almost as tall as a person, and there were tangled branches and leaves under their feet.
Li Zhan was in front, carefully pushing aside the grass, trying not to make too much noise, and opening a way out for the two people behind.
At the same time, you should also pay attention to whether there are any animals, such as snakes.
As a scout, Li Zhan has always had good ears. Even if he is talking to others, it will not delay him from listening to the unusual sounds around him.
It seemed that although no one cleaned this place very often, Li Zhan still smelled some medicine. There are realgar, mugwort, and others.
It seems that someone is spreading some medicinal materials regularly. Yes, these animals don't care about so many. If one day they sneak into the houses of the masters in the mansion, big trouble will happen!
Suddenly, Ji Jun's feet stepped on a very smooth ridge, and there were grass leaves attached to it, making it even more slippery. There were also grasses on both sides that were both big and useless!
Although Ji Jun grabbed a piece of grass urgently, the grass, although not the kind of "wall grass" that runs along the wind, could not support Ji Jun's weight, so Ji Jun's body still leaned forward!
Li Mi from behind quickly stretched out his hand to pull Ji Jun. The two were two steps away at that time, and Li Mi couldn't fly up. Therefore, although he held Ji Jun's right hand, one of Ji Jun's legs still knelt down.
The left hand is passively supported on the ground!
However, when his left hand touched the thing that Ji Jun slipped on, Ji Jun's heart sank!
It’s—bones!
In Dangui Garden, Ji Jun didn't come back for a long time, and Ji Jun was very worried.
Although, the cousin went out with the eldest cousin and eldest brother Li. Ophiopogon japonicus and fennel follow.
However, Ji Min is always shrouded in a kind of uneasiness.
In the past few days, she always heard someone sighing in her ear while she was half asleep. The voice was familiar yet unfamiliar.
It's always very far away, so far away that no matter how hard I try, I can't hear what she's saying.
I always feel that that voice is full of worry and a lot of helplessness.
Along with the sound, Ji Min himself was in the empty world, not knowing the direction or where he was going.
In the dream, Ji Min was always worried about meeting the terrifying tentacle-covered Concubine Jiao Xian again!
But, looking around, there was nothing!
There are no mountains, rivers, flowers, or scenery!
However, Ji Min knew in his heart that he was looking for something, but he knew nothing about it!
But I firmly believe in my heart that I will definitely find it! And only you can find it yourself!
What is this thing?
gem?
Treasure Map?
Secret military intelligence?
still,
Establish an imperial edict?
A secret edict to pass on the throne?
