Hit ghost

"Gone? What does it mean to be gone?" Because Xie Jin had just woken up from sleep, Xie Jin's brain was still in chaos, and after a few seconds, he and Wen Liang looked at each other, and then suddenly rushed out of the house.

Why do you want to leave?How could He Nian leave?

Xie Jin rushed to the first floor. At the corner of the stairs diagonally was the room where He Nian lived every time he returned to the village. After Xie Jin rushed down the stairs, he was a little stunned.

The door of the room where He Nian was supposed to be asleep was open at this moment, the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and there was no trace of someone sleeping in it.

Xie Jin walked into this room, the display in the room was very simple, and even He Nian's personal items could not be seen except for the necessary daily necessities.

"What's the matter? There was such a loud noise all of a sudden, I thought..." Zhuo Ketuoda, who followed Wen Liang downstairs, rubbed his sleepy eyes. When she also saw that only Xie Jin was left in the room, her eyes widened in surprise , All of a sudden, the sleepiness disappeared, "Where's Brother Anian? He didn't sleep and went out in the middle of the night?"

Wen Liang didn't answer, he walked to the door of the room, saw Xie Jin rummaging inside, and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"The cloth bag you gave him is gone, the cloth bag with sugar-coated origami!" Xie Jin touched every possible place where something could be left. Will he leave any words..."

"Don't look for it, there won't be any." Wen Liang leaned on the door frame, watching Xie Jin's back as he continued to rummage, he stopped him, "Since we all chose to leave at this time, he will naturally not let us know that he wants to What are you doing?"

"No, what do you mean? Where did Brother Anian go?" Zhuo Ketuoda stepped forward and pulled Wen Liang's clothes. Did you leave here?"

Seeing that neither of the two people in the room could answer, she suddenly became agitated, and kept shaking the hand that was holding Wen Liangyi, "Speak, where is he? Didn't he say that he will go with you to change things up when it's all over?" Is it far away, then how can he go, where can he go at this time..."

Zhuo Ke Tuo Da's voice became smaller and smaller, she knew that it was wrong for her to vent her anger on Wen Liang and Xie Jin, but she couldn't accept that He Nian left without saying goodbye, because the anxiety in her heart was far greater than the unknown, and they didn't know what He Nian was What are you thinking.

"Zhao's... Has he gone to Zhao's again?" After Xie Jin failed to search in the house, he sat weakly on the bed with no warmth left, scratching his hair with both hands, "This is not good, we have to find him." return."

"After finding it, he is not an object. Even if he finds it and runs away, there is nothing else he can do. Can you tie him here?"

Wen Liang gently pulled out the hem of his clothes from Zhuo Ketuoda's hand, and he walked to the center of the room, condescendingly looking down at Xie Jin who was sitting by the bed, "And I saw him when he left."

"...You said you saw it?" Xie Jin looked at Wen Liang in disbelief, "Then why didn't you stop him, you also know that when he was in the Zhao family, he might have had the same experience as Qu Wan, why didn't you stop him he?"

Wen Liang didn't answer immediately, he moved a bamboo chair from a corner, and sat down in front of Xie Jin, "I know you're worried about him, but as I said just now, He Nian is not an object without thought, instead of forcibly tying him up Come back, why not wait and see what he wants to do first."

"Besides, you think he left and returned to the Zhao family this time, but if he ran directly to confront the Zhao family, how could they admit it."

Raising his wristwatch and looking at the time, Wen Liang sighed and patted Xie Jin on the shoulder, "There are still four days before the sacrificial ceremony. What do you think why why did He Nian leave at this juncture?"

"For what? Could it be..." Xie Jin looked up at Wen Liang, and Zhao Dong's attitude came to mind, which suddenly gave him a bold idea, "Is it for us?"

Wen Liang nodded, he let go of Xie Jin's shoulders, and turned his head to the night that was blocked by the window, "I think this possibility is relatively high, although I don't know the reason, or what method did the old thief Zhao use to coerce him to agree, He Nian It's an appearance of willingness to us now."

"Let me go and have a look." Getting up from the bamboo chair, Wen Liang looked at Zhuo Ketuoda who was standing there blankly, "Xiao Baihe, do you have adult men's clothes at home?"

"I don't have that kind of thing in my house, even Brother Anian's, you wouldn't be able to wear it." Zhuo Ke Tuo Da came back to his senses a little, looked up and down Wen Liang's broad-shouldered physique, and then affirmatively rejected it, "No."

"Forget it." Wen Liang took off the fluorescent-colored jacket on the outside, revealing the crumpled regular clothes stuffed inside. He didn't wear the cyan-blue gown, and he was wearing a cyan-blue suit that Xie Jin had never seen before. underwear.

Shaking off the sweat on his arms, Wen Liang rolled up his wide sleeves, then looked around again, and found a piece of dark cloth from the table.

He wrapped the cloth around his own bun, making sure the color wouldn't show, before tying it around his chin.

"I'll go to Zhao's house and I'll be back later." Wen Liang stood in the night, his hair covered by a dark cloth, making him less obvious.

He turned to Xie Jin again, and asked again, "You just stay here and look after Lao Ji, don't run around, you know?"

After Xie Jin nodded in agreement, Wen Liang seemed still not at ease, and ran to tell Zhuo Ketuoda to ensure that the only person in the house who could move freely would not run around, and then Wen Liang hurriedly disappeared into the night.

Watching Wen Liang leave, Xie Jin and Zhuo Ketuoda closed all the doors and windows.Back upstairs again, He Nian's sudden departure caught them all off guard, and an inexplicable uneasiness enveloped this small home.

Coaxed and tricked Zhuo Ke Tuo Da into the room to sleep, Xie Jin sat back in front of Ji Duan's bed, the young man still did not wake up, only the slight heaving of his chest could prove that Grandma Yang's medicine seemed to have worked. His life was temporarily suspended.

"What should I do..." Xie Jin held Ji Duan's left hand close to his forehead. He tried his best to keep himself calm all the way, but the frequent incidents could not keep him rational.

Feeling the coldness of Ji Duan's palm, Xie Jin pressed that wide palm to his lips, "Ha——"

He breathed hot air towards Ji Duan's palm, even though he knew in his heart that this method would not be able to bring the young man back together, but he still did this action repeatedly.

"What should I do? If the sacrifice really fails, what should I do?" Breathing gradually heavy, murmuring to himself with a strong nasal sound, Xie Jin put Ji Duan's fingers on his lips, and dropped a long silent kiss.

After the kiss was over, tears had already blurred his face, Xie Jin leaned his upper body forward, gently opened Ji Duan's slightly clenched fist, and pressed the young man's big hand on his chest, where his heart was.

"I won't let anything happen to you. If the sacrifice fails, I will go to Gyeongju Paradise, as long as your soul is there..." Xie Jin buried his face in Ji Duan's palm and said in a small voice, "It must be there Just do it."

The night seemed extraordinarily long. After Xie Jin sorted out his emotions, he sat at the door of Zhuo Ketuoda's house and waited for Wen Liang to come back. It was almost four o'clock in the morning that there was a slight sound of footsteps in the yard.

Xie Jin rushed out to check immediately after hearing the sound, and happened to meet Wen Liang on the stairs.

"How is it, is Anian at Zhao's house?" Xie Jin followed Wen Liang's eyes until he came to his side.

"No." Wen Liang took off the cloth tied to his chin, his forehead was full of fine sweat, "I searched everywhere in the Zhao family, including the yard where you first saw him, but I couldn't find it. .”

"Let's talk in the room first." Wen Liang bypassed Xie Jin and walked into the room first. After checking that Ji Duan still showed no signs of waking up, he sat down on the bed.

Xie Jin followed closely. In order to avoid waking up the people in the opposite room, he closed the bedroom wooden door as quietly as possible.

"Is it possible that it was hidden underground?" He also sat next to Wen Liang, watching Wen Liang tear off his tightly covered collar, Xie Jin asked in a low voice.

"I also considered this possibility, so I asked Tongtong Yuyu to check underground, but found nothing." Wen Liang made a fan with his hands, and at the same time shared the sporadic information he had found with Xie Jin.

"Although there is a passage underground, let alone He Nian, Tongtong Yuyu didn't even find half of his hair." Wen Liang shook his hands, and the continuous fan made him accidentally use too much force, causing his wrists to become sore, "So now There are two possibilities."

"What?" Xie Jin looked at Wen Liang. He was surprised that He Nian was not found in Zhao's house, but what he saw before confirmed that his thoughts were correct. He Nian left them probably because of something related to Zhao's house. relation.

"First, He Nian's departure has nothing to do with the Zhao family. We all know this well. Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, it must be related."

Wen Liang changed his posture, sat on the edge of the bed, and continued, "The second possibility is that He Nian did go to Zhao's house, but for some purpose, that old thief Zhao Dong changed him, and that place It’s definitely not something we outsiders can find, what do you think?”

"Well, it must be the second possibility." Xie Jin listened to Wen Liang's analysis and immediately understood what he wanted to say, "There are still four days before the sacrificial ceremony...now it should be three days, you Are you worried that if you confront Zhao Dong in the open, he will play tricks in the dark?"

"There's part of it."

Wen Liang still felt hot all over his body, he scratched his neck, took off his robe, and when the moonlight shone on his chest, Wen Liang let out a "huh".

"Hey, you're really capable." He groped along the itchy place, and pinched quickly on the top of his left shoulder blade, near the penultimate section of the cervical spine.

There was only a sound of "噗嗤", and the sound of something exploding sounded from where he grabbed it. Wen Liang put the thing he grabbed in front of his eyes, and Xie Jin also looked over.

It was a small red snake whose head had been crushed.
