Hailing barren city

Chapter 21

He turned his head away unnaturally, trying not to be seduced by the lights and atmosphere.However, Ling Li was determined not to let him go, and before he could reply, he had already bullied him and oppressed him.If every move is not experienced, it is planned for a long time.However, at this time, Tao Rujiu had no time to think about it.Perhaps at this moment, what can really be decided by him is which part of the body the fierce Lushan Claw lands on first.

Thinking of this, Tao Rujiu felt dizzy.And amidst the dizziness, he vaguely heard a voice calling his name.

"Tao Rujiu!"

The young man trembled all over, thinking it was his own illusion, but after only a while, the voice calling his name reappeared, and it became more and more clear, as if someone was calling his name over and over again, walking over .

Because of the fierce teasing, Tao Rujiu even broke out in a thin sweat involuntarily, as his chaotic mind regained consciousness little by little.

Finally, the unlocked door of the bedroom was pushed open. Unexpectedly, the one who opened the door calling his name was a cat.

"Hey, who let you in."

Sensing Tao Rujiu's absent-mindedness, Ling Li followed his gaze.Unexpectedly, he found that the big white cat, which was known as rolling the graveyard at night, ran into his bedroom, and was frowning and wanted to get out of bed to chase it away, but Tao Rujiu walked over first.

"I... I'll take the cat outside, you rest... rest."

The young man put on his shirt and left the bedroom with a blushing face as if fleeing.Ling Li was the only one left leaning on the bed, laughed softly, took a cigarette at random, and lit it.

Tao Rujiu and Qimaoxian left the bedroom and stopped until they reached the furthest entrance.The big white cat lightly jumped onto the shoe rack, raised its head and began to scold the young man.

"Are you dying? I told you that the underground palace is dangerous, so don't provoke it if you have nothing to do. You also chose to go when the water is rising, so you're going to die, right?"

Tao Rujiu always felt a little strange when he heard Qi Maoxian's words, and it took him a long time to realize it.

"Qimao Xian, you...why are you talking back to the vernacular again?"

He clearly remembered that the big white cat was full of "ru" and "wu" once before, like an ancient man.

"I can say whatever I want, do you have any opinions?"

The big white cat kicked him angrily.

"After so many years with the theater troupe, I still don't understand how to speak. It's natural to put on some posture when we meet for the first time, but if I talk to you like that for a long time, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand what I'm saying! Isn't it? This kind of trouble happened in just a few days!"

At this time, Tao Rujiu suddenly thought of the horror experience last night.He reached out and touched the amulet on his neck, and said, "I can hear you again, does that prove that the amulet is useless?"

Qi Maoxian nodded and said: "Of course, although there is a bag on the outside, the ghost water directly seeped in last night, and now it is impossible to even remedy it."

Tao Rujiu was a little panicked, bent down and approached the Qimao Fairy, and asked, "Why was the monster in the underground palace so powerful last night...could it be the ghost I met in Corpse Soul Town that day? bloom……"

Qi Maoxian shook his head, denying his guess.

"The haunted ghosts in the underground palace are different from those around Huakai. The ghosts in the underground palace are the resentful spirits of the three workers who died in a construction accident a few years ago. They linger in the water channel on the third floor of the underground palace for a long time. The murderous spirit and resentment cannot be obtained. Shu Zhang, on the contrary, absorbed all kinds of scary and negative emotions from the tourists in the underground palace from outside the copper gate, and turned into a ghost over time, waiting for the day when he broke through the iron gate, and found the possessed body to come up and kill."

Tao Rujiu was horrified, thinking that he was almost dragged into the water to become a substitute, he couldn't help but feel cold all over.

On the one hand, Qimao Fairy was still saying: "I just went outside the underground palace and turned around. The entire underground palace area has been sealed off. The copper door on the third floor is broken and cannot be repaired for the time being, and the three wraiths are probably already there. They hid in a dark place in the city. Although these three ghosts will be subdued sooner or later, Hailing City is so big that it will take a while to find them. It is even more difficult to guarantee the safety of the people in the city during this period. It is better to just Let the people in the city move out temporarily for a while, so that Bupo and I don't have such a big burden."

"Bupo?" Tao Rujiu heard this name for the first time, "Who is Bupo?"

"The east fence is not broken." Qi Maoxian replied, "It is the ghost who often lingers around Huakai. It is also Huakai's lover before the seventh life. My relationship with him is not strong. You need to know about other things. Just ask yourself."

"You want me to ask it?" Tao Rujiu laughed back in horror, "That east fence...is not broken, it was trying to kill me when I was in Corpse Soul Town!"

"It's just that he thought you were peeping from the side, and wanted to harm Huakai." Qi Maoxian replied unhurriedly, "He is very precious to Huakai. As long as you treat Huakai well, he will not What to do with you."

Tao Rujiu nodded, and heard Qi Maoxian's order again: "It's not easy to remove all the people immediately, and it also needs a reasonable explanation and a reason to seal everyone's tongues. However, it must be successful within seven days. At least No one should be left in the city at night. Understand?"

Persuasion is fierce, what kind of reason do you use?Although Tao Rujiu was a little uncertain in his heart, he also knew that this matter was no joke.So he nodded in agreement.Qi Maoxian also thought about it for him, and finally suggested that he communicate with Dongli Bupo, saying that Dongli Bupo might have a way to make Ling Li make a timely decision.

"It's just some conditions proposed by Dongli Bupo. If you don't want to agree, don't force it. Otherwise, it will be too late to come back."

After explaining these matters, Qi Maoxian left the villa, and before leaving, he confessed that he would bring some charms to Cuiying Pavilion at night.Tao Rujiu sat blankly in the porch for a while, feeling a little cold, then stood up and staggered towards the bedroom.

Tao Rujiu walked towards the bedroom in a daze, passed the living room and made a detour into the corridor, and then heard sharp and low voices coming from the bedroom.

Walking over with some curiosity, Tao Rujiu looked in through the open door.Huakai didn't know when she had already come down from upstairs, lying on Lingli's bed and communicating with Lingli in sign language.It could be seen that the young man was very sad because of Wang Baihu's death, so Ling Li comforted him, patting Huakai's shoulder lightly from time to time, showing tenderness and patience.

Tao Rujiu stood quietly outside the door and watched for a while, then suddenly realized that he had no reason to go back to the bedroom.After the typhoon passed outside the house, there was no cloud in the sky, he turned around silently, buttoned all the buttons on the skirt neatly, left the corridor, opened the door and walked out.

After the typhoon, Hailing City was not affected much, but because of what happened in the underground palace last night, Sun Zhendao still decided to close the park for a day.Back at Cuiying Pavilion, Tao Rujiu saw most of the theater troupe sitting idle in the courtyard.Seeing Tao Rujiu come back, he just nodded slightly to say hello, and his eyes were full of unspeakable sadness for Wang Baihu's accident.

"Tao Tao, you're back!" The only master Lu who didn't know anything came over anxiously, "I heard that Wang Baihu's leg was broken by a tree, how is the situation now? Is there any danger?"

Tao Rujiu hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood that this was a white lie told by everyone.Although he was very sad in his heart, he still smiled and comforted the old man and said: "Wang Baihu is dead, and he is lying in the city hospital with a plaster cast. He said that he would have no face to see your old man if he got into this trouble. Please don't come here." Let’s go see him at this juncture.”

Master Lu finally felt relieved after hearing this, and scolded: "This little bastard, you want me to visit him? Of course I want him to go to the Patriarch to make amends after he recovers!"

Everyone saw that Master Lu seemed to believe it completely, so he lost some soft words while the iron was hot.Finally, the old man was reassured.Tao Rujiu went back to his room to make a simple record of what had happened in the past few days, and before he knew it, it was noon, and just as he was about to eat, he received a condolence call from Uncle Ah Qing.

Uncle Ah Qing was a doctor before becoming a civil servant, so he was especially concerned about his nephew's physical condition.The call this time was nothing more than telling me not to eat more seafood after the typhoon, for fear of infectious diseases.Tao Rujiu listened half-heartedly, and suddenly those sharp blue eyes popped into his mind, so he asked casually: "Uncle Ah Qing, do you know which country the Chinese mix with, the eyes will turn blue?" color?"

"Blue?" Uncle Ah Qing on the other end of the phone frowned, "Theoretically, that kind of situation will not happen. Children with dark eyes and light eyes must have dark eyes. That's because dark eyes It's a dominant gene..."

Tao Rujiu has been away from biology class for a long time, and only has a vague memory of explicit and implicit.After hearing what Uncle Ah Qing said, he only understood one truth in the end: sharp blue eyes were not inherited from mixed blood.

"Uncle Ah Qing, under what circumstances would there be someone with blue eyes?"

"When you are sick." Uncle Ah Qing's answer startled Tao Rujiu, "But don't there be that kind of tinted contact lenses on the market? It changes color when you put it on."

The sharp eyes are not caused by wearing contact lenses.If the blue color is deliberately worn, why would you use sunglasses to cover it all the time?

Then the only explanation is... sickness.
