C28 (1/2)
All the lights in Jinan City had been extinguished, and the sound of owls came from the forest. The dark streets were empty, and the shadows of the trees were dancing on the ground. The sound of water gurgling could be heard from the quiet places, and from time to time, the sound of a carp flapping its tail could be heard from the pond. The world fell into a deep sleep.
A captivating red color appeared on the ground in the blink of an eye.
After a while, a thin woman's figure emerged from the ground under the hazy moonlight, as if the earth were a hollow cardboard box and she had accidentally entered it.
One of the woman's arms barely supported her on the ground as her body swayed. The other hand desperately lifted her high up in the air, randomly scratching a few times. A golden light flashed from her fingertips, and wisps of white smoke emitted from the woman's side.
A few small, round, yellow-brown goblins that looked like potatoes appeared. They squeaked as they circled around the woman and jumped up and down, reaching out their tender hands that were like bean sprouts to grab at her clothes. However, the woman in red was like a big white radish being pulled out by the small goblins with a ”Pop ~” sound.
Phew …” It seemed that even without a spirit body, his power would not be as strong as it used to be. The woman panted for a moment, then laughed self-deprecatingly before raising her hand again. She lightly patted the heads of the little guys who were cheering and cheering around her with a face full of love and thanks. Then, with a face full of regret, I didn't bring you guys anything delicious today. Sorry … I thought it was a man lying there, but when I got closer, I saw it was a woman with a dust mark in her body.
The woman touched her arm fearfully. The defensive power of the Dust-Breaking Seal was too ferocious. I almost thought that half of my arm would be charred … Then she raised her face and smiled gently at the little guy who was staring at her. She said softly, ”Don't worry about me. Go back.”
With a few ”puchi”, the few goblins obediently disappeared in front of the woman.
The woman in red propped herself up on her knees. In the dense night, she slowly stood up. Her entire body was suffused with flickering white light, like a transparent cicada feather, slightly trembling in the cold wind.
Moonlight could easily penetrate her, and perhaps it was more appropriate to say that she was a shadow than a person.
Young Master Wen... Luo Niang really wants to see you.
Raising her head to look at the moon, she saw a row of transparent tears quietly sliding down her pretty lower jaw. The tears slowly seeped into her bright red dress, leaving deep and shallow marks as she moved along the needlework.
Next day
Chaxianyu woke up from her sleep in a daze, saliva flowing down her face. She realized that the sky had already brightened, and a big hole had been opened in the paper window of the room. The dazzling sunlight chased after him, and caused Chaxianyu, who was tightly wrapped in her quilt, to wake up.
She quickly got up and just as she jumped off the bed, her toes touched something warm. She looked down and was shocked by the man lying on the floor with his eyes closed. Young master?
Shier Hong frowned and mumbled to himself. Seemingly not having woken up yet, his jet-black eyelashes fluttered slightly, and both of his hands went into his sleeves. He only turned his body around, and there were no longer any movements.
Don't call out to him, he stayed up all night guarding you and the crowing didn't stop until last night.
Luo Rongji stood outside the room with his hands behind his back and closed his eyes to rest. After hearing the activity in the house, he opened his long thin eyes and walked in expressionlessly. This fact revealed the shocked expression on the girl's face as she spoke faintly. It seemed like that guy wouldn't be coming back for the time being. Take the letter you found last night and come out with me.
Ah! Isn't this Young Master Luo and Yu Er?
The two of them went downstairs side by side to the bustling and bustling inn's main hall. Wang Fu was busy scratching his abacus and sweating profusely, when he saw his master's friend come out, he quickly greeted enthusiastically. With the blessings of Yu Er's daughter, they had endured past the last day of the month without any deaths, and everyone was overjoyed … Eh? How come I don't see Master Xu?
Luo Rongji, on the other hand, went straight in with his gun in hand. He took out the letter he found in the pillowcase and showed it to Wang Fu, asking indifferently, Manager Wang, can you investigate a woman called Luo Niang on the registration page? In my opinion, this woman had a lot to do with the murder in the last wing.
After a while, he raised his head from a pile of scattered booklets and replied with a troubled expression. Master Luo, I have carefully checked the registration information of all the guests in the past six months … ”There's no one called Nutjob...
Chaxianyu recalled the letter, her mind suddenly lit up, and she quickly suggested, that Master Wang, last year's Autumn Festival record, was it still preserved?
