Chapter 434 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (42)
Following the meticulous spirit of the police, Yu Zhan walked around the Lizard Temple again to check for any mistakes.He observed the environment around the temple. The Lizard Temple was located alone in an open space without any shelter.The surroundings of the temple are airtight, and the walls are all rot-resistant nanmu, without renovation and secret passages.If the murderer appeared quietly, he could only break in through the front door.

Therefore, as long as you guard the front door, there is no breakthrough for convenience.

He went back to the front door and said: "As long as you keep here, Miss Ran will be safe."

"Yes. We have already taken measures to protect Ran Yuxuan." Mi Kaka told Yu Zhan the plan of taking turns to watch the night.

After hearing this, Yu Zhan thought for a while and said, "This plan is feasible. However, Gu Yingliang is too thin. If gangsters appear, she may be dangerous and not suitable for night watch. Let's leave it to Ah Chong to watch .” He pointed at Li Xiaochong.

"No problem, Uncle Yu." Li Xiaochong said.

It is reasonable for Yu Zhan to arrange this way.Besides, Li Xiaochong is a master of martial arts, with him around, he is much more reliable.Everyone has no objection.

"Eh?" However, Li Xiaochong raised a question. "Uncle Yu, what about you? Why don't you keep watch?"

Yes!Isn't Yu Zhan the most suitable for night watch as a policeman?
Everyone turned their attention to Zhan.He looked quite unhappy, and glared at Li Xiaochong: "Nonsense, as the commander-in-chief, of course I sit behind the scenes. Is it my turn to do this kind of work?"

Li Xiaochong curled his lips, thinking that Uncle Yu's words sounded nice, but he was actually planning to sleep in bed!
But with so many guests, can this lizard house fit in?

In this regard, Ran Xiao said that there is no need to worry:
"There is also a dormitory building where servants live. If you don't mind, you can stay there."

He pointed to the white building on the other side of the ancient house.

This dormitory building is not far from the Lizard Temple, and you can see what happened in the temple through the windows.Everyone was under the same roof, and they readily agreed without being picky, even Lin Shan, the rich second generation, had no objection.So, the housekeeper, Lao Zhang, led the crowd to choose a room to rest.Except for Qi Mu and Lin Shan, they were the first batch of night watchmen, and stayed to guard the Lizard Temple to prevent people from taking advantage of it.

In this way, the others followed the housekeeper Lao Zhang to the dormitory building. After choosing their rooms, they got under the covers to rest.The lights of Xiaobailou went out one by one.The deeper the night, the colder the air.The lizard house standing in the wilderness was filled with the night wind.In the darkness, the whirling tree shadows quietly covered the Lizard Temple.

"Sand la la..." The sound of flapping leaves echoed around the empty temple.

In the quaint lizard temple, the smell of wood wafts in the air.

At this time, only Qi Mu and Lin Shan were left in front of the temple.Of these two people, one was patrolling along the temple, and the other squatted on the cold stone steps because of his poor health, hugging his arms to keep warm.Other than that, only the quiet darkness and the cold wind from nowhere depended on them.They seemed cut off from the outside world.There is no sound.There is no life.Surrounding them is only the mysterious atmosphere from ancient times, and a quiet atmosphere.

Under the moonlight, their figures were elongated, appearing thin and weak.Ink-like darkness covers everything in the world.The wormwood swayed in the wind, as if a terrible monster was hidden inside.

Unlike Qi Mu's calmness, Lin Shan's nerves tensed up, afraid that something might go wrong.He watched for a while, and suddenly felt that the temple was quiet, and Ran Yuxuan seemed to have been quiet for a long time, so she ran to the wooden door worriedly and asked, "Hey, student Ran, are you okay inside?"

Looking in through the gap in the wooden door, one could barely see the faint candlelight in the room.In the line of sight, the tiny candlelight was flickering, and a group of black shadows kneeling in the darkness appeared vaguely.It must be Ran Yuxuan.

"I'm fine. Worrying about you."

Sure enough, her voice came from inside.

At last it was all right, Lin Shan felt relieved.He didn't think much, and continued to sit in front of the temple, waiting for the next group of people to change shifts.

The night, like an upside-down pot bottom, pours down from the sky above the wooden house.

Inside the wooden house, all the still lifes are submerged in the thick and heavy darkness, only a bean-sized light is flickering gently, relying on the lamp oil to continue the lingering life.The stale and decaying smell settled in the silent air, lingering at the tip of Ran Yuxuan's nose.She sat alone in the room, looking around nervously with her beautiful eyes.

The faint and feeble fire could not illuminate the darker depths.The light exists only in this small area where she is, and the dust dances in the light, like a falling mournful particle.

Here she is alone.

Not even the moonlight has disappeared from this place.The impenetrable wooden room is like a vat of ink, without any trace of variegation. Ancient tools from long ago are sleeping by the wall, and the wooden wall is covered with mysterious symbol-like wheel patterns, isolating all Trying to get into the light of this place.The room was extremely quiet, only the sound of the leaves outside could be heard, and behind her was the lifelike stone lizard statue.

It stared at her with round eyes, and its long letter protruded from its open mouth.The ferocious faces are lifelike, enough to deter all trespassers.And once her gaze came into contact with it, she quickly withdrew it, never daring to look over it again.

it's horrible...

Ran Yuxuan's chest rose and fell.The faint candlelight illuminated her delicate face, and she looked timid and panicked.Her heart was like this silent temple, full of darkness and despair.However, her despair is not because of the emptiness, silence and darkness here.

She was even more afraid that after this night, she would become a terrifying lizard god.

"You are a lizard god! You are a murderous demon!" The words she had heard before echoed in her mind.She remembered the disgusted and panicked eyes of the crowd.People reject her and stay away from her, just because she bears the curse of the lizard god—"The lizard god can eat people!"

If she turns into a lizard god, her life will change completely.She hurts those close to her and makes strangers shy away from her.

She doesn't want this, she just wants to live a normal life.

She wants to make more friends.I want to live a good life with my father.

"I don't want...don't want to be a lizard god..." Ran Yuxuan murmured, two lines of tears streaming down her sad cheeks.Unfortunately, all of this is out of her control.

There is nothing she can do but obey her fate.

In the darkness, Ran Yuxuan hugged her body sadly, her thin body curled up at the feet of the stone statue of the Lizard God, and her snow-white long skirt spread on the ground like hazy mist.While crying, she touched the skin of her face tentatively.Will her skin become as rough as a lizard?Will her face become that of a lizard?
I heard from the maid who resigned before that she once saw her turn into a lizard and crawl into the room.

She will soon turn into a lizard.

However, she didn't feel any changes in her body.Maybe the time has not come yet, she is still human now.

How long will it be before daylight comes?
She looked hesitantly at the dark ceiling.

She wanted to know the time, but cell phones were forbidden.In this empty and lonely time and space, every second feels very long.She could only divert her attention and prick up her ears to listen to the movement outside the house.She heard a slight back and forth, a rustling step on the grass. It should be the night watchman patrolling around the house.With them, you can at least guarantee that no bad guys will invade the house.Her mood gradually settled down.

Thinking of Mi Kaka, Gu Yingliang and others, Ran Yuxuan's heart was full of gratitude.She has lived in the Lizard House for more than ten years, and this is the first time she has made so many friends.If she really turns into a lizard god, she doesn't want to hurt these good friends.

Countless thoughts, like butterflies in a flower, surround her heart.

Just as she was thinking, a black figure suddenly flashed in the candlelight, sneaking into the darkness like a fish swimming.

someone!Ran Yuxuan was startled, she sat up straight and turned around to look, but found nothing.

Behind her is still the terrifying stone statue of the lizard god, standing in front of her heavy feet, with sharp and long white claws, and a pair of stone pupils looking down coldly.

The appearance of this stone statue is too realistic, like a real lizard god.This thought crossed her mind for no reason, she was startled immediately, and her breathing became short of breath.She hurriedly looked away, shaking her head in self-denial.

I must be thinking too much.She thought, this is just a stone statue, how could it be a lizard god?
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.

After that, the lizard temple was still as calm as water.Surrounding her was still endless silence and loneliness.After waiting in the dark for a long time, fatigue finally came like a wave, her tense nerves gradually dissipated, and her eyelids began to become heavy.

There is a bed on the ground, which was brought in by the housekeeper after my father told the housekeeper.She can sleep peacefully until tomorrow morning.

Maybe, sleep through the night and nothing will happen.

Thinking about it, she crawled into the bed with her tired body, and slowly closed her eyes with random thoughts.

It will be better tomorrow.

With this little chance, she gradually fell asleep.

In a daze, but without knowing it, there was a slight shaking in the darkness.

rustling...

A strange figure crawled to her side, but she was still sleeping.

Outside the temple, the third group of night watchmen were about to complete their task.The night was surprisingly calm, and each group of night watchmen successfully completed the handover.Mikaka is the last of the vigil.The victory of the revolution was imminent, and he and Ding Lihan strolled around the Lizard Temple with a flashlight together. The two cheered up and were determined to complete the final task.
