Tangled

Chapter 88
Now that he said that, Shen Qiqi didn't think about it anymore, and followed them out of the town.

Gradually far away from the small town, people gradually disappeared on the trail where we could occasionally meet people.

There is no wind everywhere, and without the rustling sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees, it seems that there is only the sound of galloping horseshoes in the world.

It wasn't a big sound, but at this moment it was astonishing, like thunder, resounding into my heart again and again.

Although Luojiazhuang is on the only road, they don't need to pass through the village, and the trail is just close to the village.

When we arrived at Luojiazhuang, the sky suddenly became dark, not much different from what Xiao Er said.

It's only been a few months without people, but this Luojiazhuang seems to have been empty for several years, and the vines at the bottom of the wall have climbed up the entire house.

They walked all the way, except for the sound of frogs and cicadas, there was no other sound.

This place is just an uninhabited village, nothing weird about it.

Shen Qiqi was a little timid at first, but after walking through the village for most of the time, she didn't encounter anything she shouldn't, so she felt relieved.

"Let's rest here tonight."

They found a relatively clean house in the village to rest, Mu Chengze lit a fire, and Gu Tingshu looked around.

Although they really couldn't see anything special, they didn't completely let go of their guards, and the three of them sat around in the left room.

All the quilts in the house were removed by the owner, leaving only some stools and chairs that were not worth much.

Although there are not many things, but fortunately the place is clean, and some hay was taken from the yard to pave it, which is many times better than the thatched cottage last night.

This day's journey was really tiring, Shen Qiqi couldn't help but take a rest after eating a few mouthfuls of steamed buns.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she only knew that when she was conscious, she could feel something soft and warm across her face.

The smell in the breath was too unfamiliar, and there was a trace of fishy smell in the smell of rotting flesh.

She knew in an instant that there were not only three people in the room, but the other party didn't know if she was awake, so she didn't act rashly.

She can feel that the other party has been sticking to her, as if observing her.

Although she was eager to know what happened to Gu Tingshu and Mu Chengze, she didn't dare to move.

After feigning sleep and waiting for a long time, the pungent smell gradually left.

She waited for a while, and opened her eyes cautiously after hearing nothing else.

But as soon as she opened her eyes, a smear of white flashed from the corner of the wall to her eyes, and within a short distance, she met a bloody face.

Even though she was fully prepared in her heart, she still let out a short scream uncontrollably.

Although he quickly covered his mouth, this scream still angered the strange man in front of him.

The strange man made a jerk sound, like laughing or crying, the dark wind blew, and the white gauze on the strange man covered his body, making people feel chills.

Shen Qiqi backed away, until her back was against the wall and she couldn't avoid it, then she looked at Gu Tingshu's position.

The person who was sitting there disappeared at some point. She looked around, and there was only herself and this strange person left in the room.

The weird man was still laughing, and the scary voice approached again and again, and the red-painted long and pointed nails slowly stretched out.

Rao is not convinced in the theory of ghosts in her heart, but the strange person in front of her is exactly the same as the ghost she imagined, no matter how unwilling she is, she has to compare the two together.

The red nails had already reached his neck, and with just one touch, the pointed nails could poke a few bloody holes in his neck.

The bloody face was almost on her body, and the weird smell continued to invade. After all, she couldn't hold back, and yelled "cousin".

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of cloth rubbing against the wind, and the strange man who was almost on top of him was kicked away.

Finally breathing fresh air, Shen Qiqi covered her neck with her hands and took a few deep breaths.

Gu Tingshu helped her up, his sharp eyes flicked around, "Where's Mu Chengze?"

"No, I don't know."

She really didn't know, it was only a few breaths since she opened her eyes, and she didn't see His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Are you hurt?"

Gu Tingshu asked in a low voice, but didn't wait for her to respond, but checked up and down by himself.

"It's not hurt, my cousin came back in time."

She didn't mean to complain at all, but her tone was very light, and she knew that she didn't take this matter to heart.

The kicked weirdo had excellent lightness skills, fell down in the corner and before Gu Tingshu could make another move, he disappeared with a wave of his hand.

Everyone had disappeared, so Mu Chengze ran back from the outside with a sword in hand, and as soon as he came in, he came over and pulled Shen Qiqi up and down to look him up and down.

"What's wrong? Where is it hurt?"

"Those shameless people came to bully you after they lured me out, and I will kick their den to avenge you later."

When the group of pretenders first came out, there were only two or three, and Ashu kept him from leaving here before chasing them out.

But that group of things were so insignificant that they used bad tricks to lure him out as well.

If he hadn't heard his cousin screaming, he would still be chasing him now.

"I'm not injured." Shen Qiqi took a step back and broke away from his hand, before saying again: "Who is that?"

Although the faces are scary, she can be sure that those are definitely not ghosts.

"Just now, when I was awake, the monster watched me for a long time, but didn't attack me immediately."

Looking at his later appearance, he seemed to be teasing her.

"That's weird, those weirdos lured us out, but they didn't attack my cousin..."

Before he could finish speaking, he met a pair of eyes that were cold enough to freeze people, Mu Chengze touched his nose, and pretended to move away from the video casually.

He has to take full responsibility for leaving his cousin in the house alone. Fortunately, her cousin is fine, otherwise he might not be able to go out tonight with all his tail.

Gu Tingshu pulled Shen Qiqi over to block him, not letting him get any closer, the distrust in his eyes was too obvious.

Mu Chengze knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything, he could only silently look around to see if there were any clues.

When he saw the silk on the beam, he turned his head to call Gu Tingshu over, but when the sound of sharp blades piercing through the air came, he subconsciously turned over to avoid it.

Gust after gust blew the fire away, and though the house was not lit, they lost their light.

Gu Tingshu hugged Shen Qiqi and stood behind the wall. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the house approaching, he untied the silk scarf wrapped around Shen Qiqi's hands, and wrapped their hands together.

As his wrists passed around his waist, Shen Qiqi could only follow his movements tightly and clenched the hands around his waist.

"If you are afraid, close your eyes."
