He Zhi remained silent and said no more.
We have been waiting in front of the city gate for almost two quarters of an hour.
I had begun to pace back and forth anxiously with my hands behind my back.
During this period I checked the time on my pocket watch several times.
It was almost eight o'clock at night.
Finally, there was a sound of kicking inside the city gate.
He quickly looked back and saw that it was indeed Xu Baipi who came out, but he only brought out a horse and a carriage behind it.
I was startled because the carriage looked familiar.
He Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this our carriage?"
Liu Huayan said thoughtfully: "When we arrived in Pingyang, we went directly to Zhou's house, and were finally driven out by them. The carriage parked at the door was missing. It seemed that his beggar friend had been following us. "
What Liu Huayan said seems to have little relevance, but if you think about it more, the logic becomes clear.
He Zhi snorted and clenched his fist with his palm, making a slight crunching sound.
Soon, Xu Baipi left the city gate.
He looked around cautiously, then held up the felt hat on his head, and then said: "This horse was lost randomly that afternoon, and Lao Hong picked it up. He told me before that he had raised it. No one keeps horses inside, so we can use this carriage to chase them."
"I remember there was an inn not far away." When he said this, Xu Baipi was still a little scared.
I gave He Zhi a look, indicating that she should stop "tampering with" Xu Baipi.
Liu Huayan stepped onto the carriage sideways, holding the reins and preparing to drive.
I asked Xu Baipi to get in the car, and I quickly got in the car with He Fei.
Xu Baipi hid in the innermost part of the carriage. Before we could sit firmly, we heard the sound of a whip, Liu Huayan drove again crisply, and the carriage sped onto the road.
I held on to the carriage to sit firmly, while He Zhi sat directly on the futon with vigorous movements.
At this moment, Xu Baipi suddenly whispered uneasily: "When I led the horse out just now, I saw something again... There was an old woman who seemed to be following us, and she also brought the beautiful old woman with her. woman."
"The weasel that almost hung you to death was always lying on that old woman's shoulder..."
I was suddenly shocked.
Old woman? We don't know any old women.
As for the woman Xu Baipi was talking about, she must be the Fox Fairy...
Who is that old woman?
A not-so-good guess still came to my mind.
Huang Pizi was not brought by the Fox Fairy. It should be this old woman who was brought by the Fox Fairy?
Just like Mr. Bai raised the fox fairy, the old woman raised Huang Pizi?
Suddenly, my heart sank a lot.
If Xu Baipi is right, then this old woman may have a relationship with Mr. Bai that we don't know about.
The Fox Fairy came to her to avenge Mr. Bai...
"She has been following us?" I asked Xu Baipi again.
Xu Baipi nodded quickly and said yes affirmatively.
"I understand, but now that we are on the carriage, she can't catch up. When we come back, we will deal with it carefully." I said.
He Zhi kept her head lowered, and one of her hands touched her neck.
At this time, the scars on He Zhi's neck were already bruised, and it was painful to think about.
The carriage continued on its way at great speed.
I opened the car window and looked outside. The scenery on both sides of the road receded rapidly.
Every now and then I glance down at the time.
Fortunately, we came up from the lower reaches to the provincial capital of Binh Duong and got to know the surrounding environment along the way, and Liu Huayan also knew the route.
It took about half an hour to drive. The carriage finally slowed down, and I heard the sound of the river outside.
"A little slower, they entered the water." Liu Huayan's voice came from outside.
I stood up immediately and pushed open the carriage door.
The sparkling water surface of the hanging river makes it impossible to see the other side at a glance.
The moon is like a big eyeball without whites, staring straight at us.
There were several horses and a larger carriage on the shore.
The horses were tied to trees and snorted constantly.
There are many deep footprints and pressed folds on the ground on the shore.
This place looks like it should be a simple dock, because there are several small boats parked with bamboo rafts tied to them.
Liu Huayan, He Zhi, and Xu Baipi also got out of the car.
I scanned the distance along the river, and there were a lot of shadows on the right side!
Those shadows are more like evil ghosts lying on the water of the hanging river, waiting to devour everyone who passes by...
In addition, I also saw a small shadow in the far distance, moving towards the larger shadow.
"Get on the boat and see if we can stop them. We have to follow them as soon as possible. Once they get on those Jiangxin Islands and show their clear intention to bury corpses, the rotting coffins and wet corpses will be fake." I said hastily.
At the same time, I quickly rushed to the water's edge, selected a boat that was about the same size as the corpse boat, and quickly untied the rope tied to the pillar on the shore.
I first waded into the water and reached the side of the boat. The water almost reached my calves, and it was bitingly cold.
Grasping the edge of the boat with both hands to make it more stable, I called out to He Pheasant and Liu Huayan at the same time.
The two of them were both very skilled. They both raised their spirits from the shore and jumped directly onto the boat.
Xu Baipi shook his legs like poles and climbed into the boat.
After I finally got on the boat, I quickly held up the bamboo pole and quickly approached the shadow of the Zhou family in the distance.
During this period, I looked particularly solemn.
Liu Huayan stood at the bow of the boat, looking ahead.
Xu Baipi huddled under the shed in the cabin. He seemed to be afraid of water and did not dare to put his head out.
He Zhi, on the other hand, was checking the things on his body, and even hung a string of bells around his waist and a string of bone beads on his wrists.
I was stunned for a moment.
Because I remember that what Gui Po He gave to Grandma He included a similar string of bone beads. They seemed to be some kind of raccoon bone beads?
Unexpectedly, He Guipo actually had another string and gave it to He Pheasant...
My boating speed was not slow, but we arrived a moment too late. Even though I was rowing with all my strength, I still couldn’t catch up with the Zhou family.
When I approached a Jiangxin Island, the Zhou family's boat had already penetrated deep into it...
In fact, Jiangxin Island is the part of the river where piles of sand and gravel protrude out of the water. With vegetation, it becomes an oasis island-like existence.
There is also a part of Jiangxinzhou, which is actually where the underwater mountains protrude out of the water.
Every river center island is unstable. Sand and gravel may be washed away by floods, or they may be submerged when the water level moves up.
This is also the reason why I said that the Water Outflow Gua is unstable.
Let me ask, if these Jiangxin Islands were completely submerged at a certain period of time, the water flowing out hexagram would become a complete beheading hexagram! What's so good about Zhou's family?
