safe house

Chapter 84

"Alas!" There was a heavy sigh outside the window, and it was impossible for people to ignore it.

"Who is it?!" Chuncao rushed to the window with a stride, pushed the window open, and there was no one outside except for the howling cold wind.

Chuncao's hand holding the sword trembled a little, but she didn't flinch, she still stood there with her back straight.

At the same time, Xia Lu retreated to Luo Mingchuan's side, holding the sword hilt in a protective posture.

"Ah!" Chuncao was about to close the window when another sigh came from outside.

It sounded as if it was just around the corner, but there was no one around.

"Ah!" Chuncao staggered in fright and almost sat down on the ground.

Luo Mingchuan and Xia Lu also turned pale.

"Who the hell is pretending to be a ghost?"

Although she didn't believe there were ghosts, she was still afraid.

"Alas!" This sigh was heavier, as if it was right next to my ear, but also as if it was far away.

Luo Mingchuan only felt a chill down his spine, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his body.

The figure in front of him flickered, and Si Mohan rushed out.

He rushed to the opposite teahouse, and seeing that it was empty, he rushed to the roof.

I looked around and couldn't find any clues.

In a few breaths, he searched all the rooftops and streets around him.

All are nothing.

He was worried about Luo Mingchuan's safety, so he didn't chase too far, so he decisively returned to the inn.

He returned to the inn with a chill in his body, with a slightly sullen face, "I didn't catch up."

Luo Mingchuan suppressed the panic in his heart, "Where do you think that person is?"

Si Mohan comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, he won't hurt you."

Luo Mingchuan pursed his lips, and said irritably, "I don't know when the rain will start."

This gloomy sky always makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Close the window!" Si Mohan said softly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Chuncao closed the window and said angrily, "I don't know who is playing tricks here.

Let me catch it, I must smash it to pieces! "

Luo Mingchuan poured a cup of hot tea for her and Xia Lu.

The two of them didn't refuse, they grabbed the cups and downed them all in one go.

My body is warmer, and I am not as tense as before.

Si Mohan handed over a chestnut candy, "Ming Chuan, it's fine."

Luo Mingchuan hesitated for a moment, but still put the candy in his mouth.

The rich sweet aroma exploded in the mouth, and the hanging heart relaxed a lot.

It's just that his face is still a little pale.

·······················
"Brother Luo Xi." Luo Mingchuan walked into the lobby, looked at the people sitting at the table, and greeted with a smile.

Si Mohan's heart ached immediately, a heartless girl has never smiled at me like this before!

However, he soon felt relieved.

What he wanted was Ming Chuan's heartfelt smile, not this kind... for the sake of laughing.

Only a fool like Luo Xi would like such a smile.

The sky was dark and cloudy.

The night seemed to come very early tonight.

The owner of the inn moved out the candlesticks, and the entire lobby was brightly lit.

"This damn weather, when will it be the boss?!" A loud voice suddenly sounded in the lobby.

Luo Mingchuan turned his head, only to see the Ding family's guard, who had half of his beard cut off by Si Mohan, shouting loudly.

"It's the first time I've encountered such weather when I grow up so old." Someone at the table next to him echoed.

Luo Mingchuan tilted his head, "Is someone staying in the inn again today?"

Luo Xi nodded, "Ming Chuan has good eyesight. The three people over there moved in near evening."

Luo Mingchuan's eyes first fell on the man sitting alone in the corner.

He is of medium build and stature, and the bamboo hat on his head is pressed down very low.

On the table was a plate of peanuts, a jug of wine, a cup, and a pair of chopsticks.

His eyes paused for a moment on the long sword standing on the table, and then moved away.

The other two sat at the table next to the guards of the Ding family.

He was dressed in a gray coarse cloth robe, and his hair was tied up on top of his head with cloth strips.

Thick fingers, rough palms.

One of them was holding a large bowl of noodles, and was eating with a sigh of relief.

The corner of Luo Mingchuan's mouth curled up, and his eyes paused for a moment on Yan Xun.

Yan Xun noticed Luo Mingchuan's scrutiny, raised his head, shook the folding fan in his hand, and smiled coquettishly.

Luo Mingchuan indifferently withdrew his gaze, and glanced at Chun Cao and Xia Lu intentionally or unintentionally.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded at Si Mohan in a subtle way.

Luo Xi couldn't help asking: "What is Ming Chuan looking at?"

Luo Mingchuan smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing. There are already so many people trapped here, I don't know if there will be more people living here."

As soon as the words fell, someone slammed the door loudly, "Open the door, the store is open!"

After opening the door, several strong and sturdy men walked in.

They were wearing gray cloth clothes with the word "Dart" embroidered on their chests.

Luo Mingchuan swallowed the crispy meat in his mouth, and asked curiously: "Brother Luo Xi, do you know which bodyguard agency they belong to?"

Luo Xi shook his head, "Almost everyone in the bodyguard bureau is dressed like this."

"Grey clothes, white background, black characters. The people who revitalize the Escort Bureau." Yan Xun, who was sitting by the side, gently shook the folding fan in his hand, and said leisurely.

Luo Mingchuan: "Is that the Zhenxing Escort Bureau in Linzhou Mansion?"

Yan Xun nodded, "That's the one! Ming Chuan knows?"

"I've heard of it!" Luo Mingchuan said slowly, "It is said that no matter what kind of dart they are, as long as they find the Zhenxing Escort Agency, they will accept it."

Yan Xun stretched his neck and looked over curiously, "I just don't know what kind of dart they bet this time."

"Ah!" A faint sigh suddenly sounded at the door.

Luo Mingchuan subconsciously clenched his chopsticks, looked at Luo Xi with a pale face, "Brother Luo Xi."

"Who is playing tricks here?" the half-bearded man shouted loudly.

The tremor in that voice betrayed his true emotions.

"Hey, I thought there were enough dead souls here, but I didn't expect that a few more came to die."

A woman sighed quietly.

Appears near but not near, seems far but not far.Fluttering and frightening.

"Pretentious!" Suddenly a man's rough voice sounded, "The one I despise the most is you ghost lady! Hypocrisy!"

"How about my ghost lady, it's not your turn to take care of a water ghost." The woman snorted sharply.

"This... is this encounter with a ghost?" Someone's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ah..." Someone couldn't stand it any longer, screamed and fell to the ground.

"Giggle..." A burst of laughter came from outside the door.The voice was very soft, as if it was blown away by the wind the next moment.

"what·······"

Suddenly the entire lobby was plunged into darkness.
