The bright moon is in the sky, the sky is full of stars, spring is passing and summer is approaching, and it’s already early summer!
In the originally quiet and peaceful courtyard, a loud barking of a dog came, breaking the tranquility of the night.
On an early summer night, there was a hint of heat in the air, mosquitoes and fireflies were scurrying about, and the courtyard jungle seemed unusually quiet under the moonlight.
Just now, there was a noise on the roof. I wonder what it was? It's like the rustle of the forest trees in the wind, or like a civet cat running lightly and vigorously.
But when Liu Ruyan walked out and looked around on the roof, he found nothing. What was strange was that the tiny sound suddenly stopped.
Liu Ruyan was puzzled: Strange, just now he clearly heard something moving, but there was nothing? Could it be that I misheard?
He looked around again suspiciously, even more alert. The shadows of the trees were dancing in the wind, and there were no ghosts around the courtyard. How could there be any human figures?
Under the night, everything was quiet, and occasionally a breeze blew, and the wind was filled with the fragrance of distant mountains. Sleepless insects hummed in the grass, making the summer night even more lonely.
Liu Ruyan felt uneasy and slowly turned around and walked into the house. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly heard a faint noise from the roof. Just like the voice just now, he was suddenly frightened, quickly opened the door and jumped out.
He ran to the yard, looked towards the roof, and shouted, "Who is that?" But the roof was empty, still nothing.
But what caused that movement? Is there something sneaky at work?
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: Damn it, this place is really evil! But there are no ghosts in this world. No, it is definitely not a ghost. Someone must be causing trouble!
He clenched his sword tightly, his whole body tense, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time, and he even thought of possible dangers.
He looked into the room and saw that it was dark and quiet. Lei Zhentian was still sleeping soundly. He decided to go up to the roof and take a closer look to see where this mysterious noise came from!
Just as he was thinking about it, he took a deep breath of energy, jumped up, and stood firmly on the roof with a somersault. He was unfamiliar with the place, so he didn't dare to be careless. He was wary of everything around him and quickly scanned it, but still couldn't find anything!
The night was desolate, and the surrounding scenery was dark, like ghosts and shadows. His heart went crazy, and he suddenly felt a sense of fear.
The roof was empty, with no people or animals, but where did the sound come from?
He walked lightly on the roof, running back and forth, looking carefully for any abnormalities. He looked around every corner, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong!
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the woods like a shooting star. Liu Ruyan's eyes only blurred, and before he could see clearly, the figure had stopped in front of the gate.
The figure was tall, wearing a green gown, and stood there like a ghost.
He looked around vigilantly, looked around, and then stepped to the door. Just as he was about to reach out and knock on the door, suddenly there was a sound on the roof and Liu Ruyan's voice came: "Uncle Xu, is that you? Why are you here? Already?"
When Xu Feng heard the sound, he was suddenly startled. Only then did he realize that there was someone on the dark roof. But he had already heard Liu Ruyan's voice. He looked up and said in surprise: "It's you? Nephew Liu Xian, why are you on the roof?"
Liu Ruyan was surprised when she saw Xu Feng's sudden appearance. She suddenly turned over and landed in front of Xu Feng, wondering: "Uncle Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Feng said: "I just walked to the council hall to explore what was going on, but the gate was heavily guarded and it was difficult to get in, so I hid in the woods and waited for the opportunity, but suddenly I saw a figure jumping into the backyard of the council hall. It looked like a ghost. He was sneaky, so he must not be an ordinary person." He paused, and then said, "I quietly walked around the backyard and followed him, but the figure disappeared. Under the night, I couldn't even see the figure clearly!"
Liu Ruyan frowned and said: "Have your uncle ever found out what is true? I can't figure it out. Today, Uncle Lei killed a man named Du, and it is really suspicious that the Flying Eagle Castle is so peaceful? Then Du Shaoying was originally Fei The people of Eagle Castle don’t seem to want to stand up for him! Obviously this is not normal!”
Xu Feng nodded, paced and said: "Yes, I can't figure out why they can be so calm? No matter what, Du Shaoying is the master of the Flying Eagle Castle after all, but they don't care. Could it be that the Flying Eagle Castle Are people so cold-blooded?"
Liu Ruyan said quietly: "Uncle, I think this thing is weird, we should be more cautious." He looked back at the dark roof, frowned and said, "I heard something moving on the roof just now, so I went out to check. But nothing was found.”
Xu Feng said slowly: "After Lei Zhentian's injury stabilizes, we will leave here! The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of your master as soon as possible!"
When Xu Feng mentioned Chu Yunfei, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but show a touch of sadness. It had been so many days, and she didn't know how the master was doing? Shangguan Hongqin and others who are waiting for news at the Xianrenguan Inn must be extremely anxious! Don't even know if they are safe?
Liu Ruyan thought of all the things she had experienced with everyone before, and she felt sour in her heart, and she didn't know what it felt like!
Especially his master Chu Yunfei, who disappeared inexplicably, and now he doesn't know where he is, dead or alive! Whenever I think of all the benefits my master has done to me, I feel that the grace of upbringing and edification is undoubtedly the same as my parents again! His heart hurt like needles.
The night is getting deeper, the cold dew is getting heavier, the night wind is biting and rustling, and a strange and lonely feeling of killing fills the air.
Liu Ruyan looked back at the side room and said quietly: "It's getting late, uncle, please rest early!"
Xu Feng also looked at the side room, patted Liu Ruyan on the shoulder, nodded and said: "Well, you should go to bed early! However, we still can't sleep too deeply. After all, this is not our territory. I'm afraid they won't Those who are willing to give up."
Liu Ruyan nodded and said respectfully: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will be more careful."
Xu Feng turned around and walked towards the wing where he lived. Liu Ruyan watched him leave, then opened the door and entered the house. Under the gray moonlight, she saw Lei Zhentian lying on the bed, his eyes bulging like bells. In the dark room, he was suddenly startled.
A faint bitter smile appeared on his face, he approached Lei Zhentian and said, "Uncle Lei is not asleep yet? How are you feeling?"
Lei Zhentian's dull eyes softened, he grinned, and said softly with difficulty: "I...I recognize you, you are nephew Liu Xian, you...why are you here? You...you are here What to do?" His voice was hoarse and there was a rattling in his throat. He looked very old and tired!
Liu Ruyan adjusted the quilt for him and comforted him: "Uncle Lei, you are still very weak now. I dare not hide it from you. I came here specifically to find you!"
Lei Zhentian heard his words clearly. He was surprised at first, then smiled and said with difficulty: "Looking for me? Why are you looking for me? Do you have something to say? Then just say it!" He seemed to see that. There were many worries hidden in Liu Ruyan's eyebrows.
Although he was seriously injured, his mind was still very clear. It was only after a fierce battle that he appeared stupid due to poisoning. Perhaps the medicine prescribed by Tie Langzhong had an effect. After taking several doses of medicine, his mind gradually became clearer and his body became more energetic. But he still felt a dull pain in his head.
He shook his head, and when Liu Ruyan was silent, he continued: "My dear nephew, I can see that you have something on your mind, so just say it!"
Liu Ruyan took a few steps and said thoughtfully: "To be honest, we came here to find you to find out the whereabouts of our mentor!"
The expression on Lei Zhentian's face froze for an instant, his pupils shrank, and he lost his voice: "You...you said, you want to find your master?" His voice began to tremble, and seemed to be full of fear.
Liu Ruyan was shocked when she saw his expression, and thought to herself: "He must know something!"
He said solemnly: "I went to Cuihua Mountain to pick up my little sister. I thought that the master would be waiting for us at home. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Wolong Valley, I found that the master had disappeared and the thatched cottage was destroyed by someone! "
Lei Zhentian listened quietly, but he did not show surprise. Instead, he said calmly: "So, you thought of me?"
