Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 69 The master’s wife will come to us

Through a thick layer of soil, you can vaguely hear the faint footsteps coming from the top, followed closely by the sound of constant tapping on the floor at the entrance.

Everyone in the cave looked at each other, unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.

Huang Shi'an stood up and said happily: "He is the one who came to save us!"

"Is there anyone there?" Questions echoed in the corridor.

"Yes! Sir, we are inside!" Huang Shi'an shouted excitedly.

He was about to rush over to respond, but was grabbed by You Su, who lowered his voice and asked:
"Uncle Huang! Your cellar is so winding and winding, how did they find it?"

Huang Shi'an said blankly: "When I went out to find food yesterday, I deliberately left many notes asking for help outside. They should have come looking for the notes."

Hearing this, You Su felt more at ease. In that case, it was probably not for him and Ji Lingruo, but he was still very careful to hide his junior sister in the dark and did not get into the crowd greeting him at the door.

A bright fire gradually became brighter from the corridor. Compared with the weak candlelight in the cave, it seemed that it was hope.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, three tall monks suddenly stepped out. Each person held a torch in their hands to dispel the darkness around them, and the leader turned out to be Zhou Li.

"My lord! My lord!" Liu Nengwu shouted loudly.

"Silence!" Zhou Li interrupted coldly.

As soon as he drank, there was silence in the cave.

Zhou Li held up a torch, scanned everyone's faces, and asked, "Did you post the note on the street?"

"Exactly." Huang Shi'an did not dare to speak loudly.

"Yes, you have some courage." Zhou Li said in a slightly slower tone, "Are there only fourteen of you in this cave?"

Huang Shi'an was startled: "Sir, there are sixteen people, and You Su and his junior sister are also there."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Su hid in the dark and squeezed the hilt of Mo Songjian. If there is any change, he will take action without hesitation.

Ordinary people like Huang Liu didn't know that the junior sister was possessed by evil spirits. This only meant that their information was too narrow-minded. It didn't mean that Qi Daodong had not revealed it. The backbone of the city, represented by Zhou Li, probably already knew about it.

"Yusu?"

Zhou Li's voice was not cold, but was extremely surprising. He hurriedly pushed through the crowd and walked to the cave. When the torch was illuminated, he saw a handsome and resolute young man.

"You Su! You are still alive!" Zhou Li did not hide the joy in his words, and wanted to go up and chat with You Su.

You Su let go of the hilt of the sword, turned slightly to cover Ji Lingruo, and said:

"I'm lucky to be alive."

When Zhou Li saw the cold-faced girl behind You Su, he understood and stopped moving forward, stopping and saying:
"It's good that you're okay. Four days ago, many monks were eaten by evil spirits in the west of the city. I was worried that you would not escape. I didn't expect you to be hiding here."

"Is this happening? My junior sister and I sensed something was wrong and hid in the secret passage in the sect early on, knowing nothing about what happened on the ground. Do you know who died?"

"Most of them are from Xuanxiao Sect. It is said that Sect Master Qi and Wu Cheng also disappeared together. Alas..."

You Su frowned inadvertently. Zhou Li didn't seem to be a person who was good at acting. He and Liu agreed. Doesn't that mean Qi Daodong really didn't tell others that the junior sister was possessed by the evil spirit?

You Su speculated on the situation that day based on the known information. The servant who tested the junior sister called City Lord Qi, indicating that he was instructed by Qi Daodong. After Qi Daodong found out that the junior sister was possessed by the evil spirit, he did not inform everyone first, but immediately brought his confidants to the scene. To ward off evil spirits. He was injured by the sword energy left by his junior wife, which gave him the opportunity to escape into a well with his junior sister. Then they encountered a very powerful evil spirit in the west of the city, and they died without a chance to come back to report the news. You Su thought about it again and found various loopholes, but other than that, there seemed to be no better explanation.

When Zhou Li saw Yousu Muran, he thought that his words had frightened him, and he calmed down and comforted him:
"Don't be frightened by me. The situation is not yet desperate. The sect leaders are still there. The auspicious cave under the city lord's mansion used for refuge is very large and has a lot of food. It is enough for us to hide for a long time. As long as the mist cannot enter, the evil spirits will be gone for the time being. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

"Sir, can we go to the auspicious cave?" Liu Nengwu came over and asked with concern.

"Of course, the purpose of our coming out is to bring the scattered people there."

"Oh, that's great! Even though we are hiding here under the protection of You Su, we are still very nervous. When we go to Jixiang Cave and there are so many people together, we feel a lot more at ease!"

In the eyes of these people, Yusu was indeed powerful, but compared to an organized refuge, he was definitely far behind.

In a crisis, they are all unable to protect themselves, so they naturally tend to stick together for warmth.

"Well, let's tide over the difficulties together." Zhou Li nodded, "Without further delay, you can take your things and leave now."

After everyone heard the order, they quickly went to pack their things, but You Su still stood there and did not move. Zhou Li was a little confused and asked:

"Don't you need to clean it up?"

You Su shook his head: "Junior sister and I won't go."

Zhou Li did not expect this answer and said in confusion:
"Why is this? Is it possible that you want to hide here with your junior sister?"

Everyone around who had been blessed by Yousu for a night also echoed:

"Yes, Yusu, this is not a permanent place. Come with us."

You Su was unmoved. Although the matter of the junior sister's evil possession had not yet been revealed, there were many people in the auspicious cave and there were many monks, so the risk of exposure would inevitably increase.

You Su Zhuangruo was sad and was about to refuse Zhou Li's invitation because his wife's life and death were uncertain, but Ji Lingruo, who had been silent, tugged on his sleeve.

"Is it enough to not care about what you eat?"

Ji Lingruo suddenly asked the same question as last time.

You Su was confused, even if the food he received yesterday was enough for the two of him to eat for two or three days, why did the junior sister insist on asking this question?

It felt to him as if the food was just an excuse, and the junior sister's real purpose... was to join the crowd?
But he had clearly told his junior sister before that, based on Qi Daodong's experience, he must act cautiously in the future and it is best to stay away from the monks. Junior sister should not be so stupid that she doesn't even understand this...

"It's not a big problem if you eat half full every day." Zhou Li replied frankly.

"Okay, then we'll go with you." Ji Lingruo responded cheerfully.

You Su's expression darkened, and he turned to Ji Lingruo and said, "Junior sister, my whereabouts are still unknown. Shouldn't we look for our junior wife?"

Ji Lingruo accidentally touched Yousu's hand:
"Senior brother, if my wife is so powerful, she will be fine. We don't need to look for her, she... will come to us."

You Su felt the touch on the back of his hand, which meant that the girl clearly understood the implications of his words, so why did she insist on going? Is she so confident that no one will see that she is possessed?
Unless...she has a reason to go!

The mistress will come to us...

Could her words also be a hint?
