After Ruan Zhan behaved strangely and left, Xiaoxia realized that she was almost half naked. Although she was alone now, she was terribly embarrassed.
However, she knew something must have happened to cause the woman to scream in terror, so she had no time to think about the woman's worries and hurriedly got dressed and was ready to help at any time.
Did that kid come to the villa again?
The broken flag was placed at the door. She knew that this flag could absorb souls, and the spirits did not dare to approach it, so she boldly opened the door to see what was going on outside. Seeing that the lights outside were still on and there was no sign of chaos, it proved that the two men had been prepared, which made her feel an indescribable emotion in an instant.
They had a premonition for a long time, but they kept it from her. This feeling of being protected was good, but it also felt like being excluded from the circle. She knew they were doing it for her own good, but she didn't want to be a burden. She was also their partner!
There was another regular knocking sound on the window glass, which made Xiaoxia a little irritated in her uneasiness. "What's the matter with this broken seal?" She muttered, walked forward, and opened the curtains. Sure enough, I saw a thin black shadow drooping by the window, and it would be thrown to the glass when the wind blew.
She reached out to grab the fluttering strip, but her hand felt sticky and soft, like a human limb!
"Is it a seal?" A stiff voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
She was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand, but before she could get away from the window, a small dark face quickly approached her, and at the same time, a small, mutilated and twisted hand suddenly grabbed her!
She jumped back instinctively, and thanks to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's amulet that she rarely left her body, the weird little hand retracted as if it was burned by fire the moment it touched her neck. But it is obviously different from other ghosts, and it is also different from the first time it wanted to harm Xiaoxia. No ghost has ever been able to touch the skin on her neck under the protection of the amulet, but it did, and hung up the red The string, the amulet suddenly fell to the ground.
Xiaoxia didn't have time to pick it up, so she just rushed to the broken flag, feeling the wind blowing behind her. When she turned around, she found that there was nothing behind her. Only the fierce mountain wind blew in, blowing away all the lighter objects in the room. Everything started flying.
Another cry for help came from outside the open window.
This time Xiaoxia could tell it was a man's voice, or an old man's voice. The voice only screamed once, and then fell silent, the silence was extremely ominous.
Xiaoxia stood anxiously next to the Broken Flag, once again faced with a dilemma. She wanted to call Ruan Zhan to help, knowing that in this quiet night he would definitely be able to hear her, or at least be alerted. But she didn't know what he was facing now, and she was afraid that calling him would distract him and put him in danger.
Wan Li, let alone Wan Li, has no spiritual power. He is just a bold man with extremely strong yang energy. He will probably be sent by Ruan Zhan to perform surveillance or auxiliary tasks. Moreover, he has no magic weapon in his hand, only the last time. The mahogany sword used in the Bloody Mary incident, calling him here will only put him in danger.
But she also heard that the voice came from the talkative and amiable old man, and she couldn't ignore it!
She hesitated for a minute, and then went to hug the broken flag. Only then did she realize how heavy the slightly reddish metal flag was, and it didn't even move when she pulled it. She didn't know how Ruan Zhan usually held it with one hand. Anyway, she couldn't lift it, so she had to drag it on the ground to the window.
Out the window, the unknown thin strip was still hanging there, and the smell of blood came with the mountain wind. Xiaoxia resisted the feeling of vomiting and squinted her eyes to look outside.
I don’t know when the heavy snow has fallen quietly, and the ground has been covered with a thin layer of silvery white. Although there is no moonlight, in the reflection of the white snow and the light in the room, Xiaoxia can still see the empty front In the courtyard, a black shadow walked on the snow.
He walked very slowly, as slowly as in slow motion in a movie, with a hint of showing off. He is tall and thin, with hair that reaches his waist. He is wearing a white robe that reaches the floor, as if melting with the snow. Or 'he' is 'she', but it's definitely not the kid who attacked Xiaoxia. She dragged something on the ground with one hand, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a person. The man was face down, hanging as loosely as a rag and unresponsive, and one foot was caught in the 'man's' hand.
Uncle Yan!
Although she didn't see the face of the person who was dragged to the ground, Xiaoxia instantly understood who that person was and almost yelled out.
That 'person' seemed to know that Xiao Xia had seen her, and she seemed to want Xiao Xia to see her deliberately, so she slowly turned her face around.
There is a distance of at least a hundred meters. In such a dark night, even under the snow under the full moon, you should not be able to see the other person's face, but Xiaoxia can clearly see it, or that 'person' wants her to See.
That was a woman, extremely beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and indescribable in words. The face that can turn all living beings upside down has a cruel smile. When these two extreme things are mixed together, they form an absolute charm. In an instant, Xiaoxia understood what it meant to be a real vixen, a feeling that could make people willing to die for it without any reward.
She was born a woman and she has such a reaction. I believe that if a man sees it, he will completely surrender!
"If you don't come, this old man will die!" The woman opened her red lips to Xiao Xia and said elegantly and charmingly. Even though they were so far apart, Xiaoxia could hear clearly.
Xiao Xia knew clearly that this was a trap, just to catch her, and later blackmailed Ruan Zhan. She is just a little person, a small fish, of little value, but a good bait for catching big fish.
For Ruan Zhan's safety, she couldn't swim up, but if she didn't bite the hook, the innocent old man would die, which made her anxious and at a loss what to do.
People who have not faced this kind of life and death choice will not understand this mentality, because no matter what she chooses, someone will be hurt. She hopes that the final result will be hers, then she has nothing to hesitate.
But the beauty didn't wait for Xiaoxia's choice, she only paused for a moment and then turned around and left. She was dressed in all white and walked slowly in the snow-covered mountains. Only her long hair danced wildly in the wind, looking indescribably weird and eerie yet indescribably beautiful.
Xiaoxia suddenly squatted down, picked up the amulet, made some preparations, and then jumped out of the window.
She knew that if she didn't go, she would not be in danger, and neither would Ruan Zhan, but she could not harden her heart and let such a kind and kind old man die. Of course Ruan Zhan is more important than everyone else in her mind, but Ruan Zhan may not necessarily die if he is threatened, and Uncle Yan will definitely die if he does not rescue him. I believe Ruan Zhanlai will do the same if he chooses.
Besides, this matter will have to be resolved sooner or later, so it is better to go for it by herself. She just needs to stay calm as much as possible, delay the time, put Ruan Zhan in a favorable position, and introduce danger to herself when necessary. .
She couldn't hold the Broken Flag. She only had the amulet to use, but she warned herself not to be afraid. Ruan Zhan said that as long as you are brave, you will be afraid of demons and ghosts, just like Wan Li.
But although she had good intentions, she slipped to the ground before running a few steps. But she found that she was not hurt by the fall. It turned out that the snow was too heavy, and it only took a while to accumulate a thick layer. But she felt that there was a sharp cut under her left ribs, and there was a piece of gravel beneath her touch. She couldn't help but sigh that God was not kind to her, so she quickly picked it up and put it in the pocket of her short coat.
She had always been afraid that the kid would chase her after leaving the protection range of the Broken Banner. According to her previous judgment, it should only be about five meters away, but she ran for a long time and didn't even feel anything causing trouble behind her. She believed that the people behind the scenes would not let her go so easily, and there must be some reason.
She slipped a few steps and stumbled trying to catch up with the woman. But although the woman seemed to be walking slowly, she kept a considerable distance from the running Xiaoxia, neither far nor close, and slowly led Xiaoxia deep into the mountains. Xiaoxia's walking became more and more difficult. In addition to being tired from running due to poor physical strength, Xiaoxia's two pockets were also full of stones.
As soon as she entered the deep mountains, she felt that it was different from the flat mountainside. There were always strange noises coming from behind her, and she felt like something was following behind her. She didn't know what was in the mountains, whether it was a ghost or a goblin. She just kept in mind the principle of never looking back and still chased the woman. I thought to myself, Uncle Yan is being dragged around like this, he is so old, will he be okay?
"Hey, where are you dragging an old man with you?" Fatigue and anger made her bolder.
The woman heard nothing and continued walking, but a minute later she suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes, taking the old man with her.
This startled Xiaoxia, and she hurriedly chased after him, but suddenly found that she couldn't move.
Behind, something grabbed her shoulder with such force that it felt like it was sinking into her bones. The pain and fear made her break into a cold sweat.
"Hey, where are you dragging an old man with you?" A strange voice shouted from behind, imitating Xiao Xia's tone.
Before she finished speaking, another voice in the darkness repeated the same thing, then the third, and the fourth, and combined with the echo of the mountains, slowly made Xiaoxia feel that there were strange things in the darkness around her. .
She struggled for a while, but couldn't move, so she had to secretly put her left hand into her pocket, encouraging herself not to be afraid, even though she could feel cold sweat flowing down her neck to her chest.
She remained motionless, as if she was frightened, but actually she was waiting for the opportunity. When she felt something crawling up her leg, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, took out the stone she had already held in her hand, and threw it back. At the same time, he shouted: "Leverage Taishan, General Shi, fight!"
A howl sounded, and Xiaoxia felt her shoulders relax, and she hurriedly ran in the direction where the beautiful woman in white disappeared.
The sound of "swishing, swishing, swishing" came from behind. Xiaoxia felt behind her while running. When she felt something approaching her, she remembered Ruan Zhan's instructions not to look back, and just kept holding stones towards her. Throw it back. After throwing away the left pocket, dump the right pocket over here. She only felt the heat in her palms. In the busy schedule of escaping, she took the time to look at the palm of her left hand. The invisible talisman that Ruan Zhan had drawn for her appeared at this time, glowing with a faint red light.
He is so nice! Will always protect her!
She still thought of this in panic, and kept admiring her stupid method of flopping all the way just to pick up more rocks. But when she threw the last stone, she ran out of stones. She was so frightened that she thought she was going to be eaten alive by the mountain ghost. Although she was happy when she threw the stone just now, she could also hear that she was thrown away from her voice. to see how unhappy the 'people' were.
However, when she was ready to serve as a snack for the mountain ghost, she suddenly felt that there was no sound behind her.
That feeling is quite scary, because it means something more terrifying will appear!
Xiaoxia slowly turned around and saw that there was nothing behind her, but there was a sound of 'squeaking' coming from the other side.
It’s the sound of water flowing. There is actually the sound of water flowing in the deep mountains in winter! And it appeared suddenly, it didn’t exist a minute ago!
Xiao Xia moved towards the direction of the sound. When she climbed over a small earthen bag, she suddenly discovered that there was a small river below. It was the sound of water flowing from this small river.
Xiao Xia was stunned, because in the snowy night, she could clearly see that the river water was red, with a clump of hair floating on it.
