On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Every household in the village has a guest, but the village chief's son was injured in a fall and couldn't go, and Li Zheng's son was studying in the city and couldn't go.

How can there be such a coincidence?

To say that there was no hidden secret, the village chief and Li Zheng didn't know about it, and Yan Ruyu didn't believe anything he said.

The night is getting darker, so now I go to the shore to see what the so-called "water monster appears" is about.

The three of them made an agreement and prepared to set off at night.

Zisu begged, "I'll go too."

"You can rest assured at home. Let's go check out the situation first. Don't worry, since we're here, we won't leave until we investigate the matter clearly. Tonight is just to find out the truth."

Yan Ruyu patted her shoulder lightly: "Take care of yourself and raise the fetus well."

Zisu clasped her hands slightly and nodded: "Okay."

Yan Ruyu entered the room and took out three sets of night clothes, and the three of them put on different masks.

Li Jingyao was puzzled. When he came, he saw Yan Ruyu carrying a small baggage. Are there so many things hidden there?

However, this is not an important issue.

The three of them left Zisu's house and went to the waterside under the cover of night.

The night in the village is darker than in the city. Everyone is reluctant to light a lamp and can only rely on moonlight and starlight. But tonight there are heavy clouds, and the moon is suppressed by the clouds.

The three of them, as light as a civet cat, returned to the water's edge.

There were a lot of grass and a small forest by the water, just perfect for them to hide.

After finding a branch of a tree that was just right for him to sit on, Huo Changhe brought the big cloak and spread it over it for Yan Ruyu to sit on. He also brought a handful of chestnuts, some snacks and so on.

Li Jingyao thought silently: Is this a spy or a picnic?

However, the couple had done so many things along the way that made him sulky, and this was nothing.

He turned his face away, simply, out of sight and out of mind.

Regardless of what he thought, Yan Ruyu sat warmly, eating chestnuts and chatting with Huo Changhe.

"You said that when people talk about water monsters, they are just water monsters. Why do they have to say the water monster's son? Why do they have to give him a son?"

Huo Changhe thought for a while: "Perhaps I feel that the water demon is powerful and no one has ever seen it, and its son is easier for people to accept. People generally have deeper curiosity and fear about things that are imagined out of thin air."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "What the prince said is very philosophical."

She looked at Li Jingyao on the tree opposite: "What do you think, the master?"

Li Jingyao almost laughed angrily: "I don't know why someone insists on asking me to be the water monster's son."

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter: "Master, don't be angry. We will see what this water monster is in a moment. If we can catch him, you will be innocent."

Li Jingyao choked and snorted: "I am innocent even if you don't catch me. My father's surname is Li, and my grandfather's surname is also Li."

Yan Ruyu lowered her head and pursed the corners of her crazily raised mouth.

It was so funny that Li Jingyao sent someone to hurriedly invite them over, saying that there was a murder case, and acted as their guide to Luojiazhuang. However, after all the talk, it turned out to be him.

The key thing is that he can't say anything. They didn't say anything bad about him, they only said good things. They even offered him offerings, although he didn't see any of them.

When Li Jingyao saw her slightly twitching shoulders, he knew she was snickering and looked away again in anger.

I accidentally took a look deep into the forest, and my eyes narrowed.

"Coming," he whispered.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe immediately looked in the direction he said.

From the depths of the forest, several clusters of fire spots came swaying from far to near.

It is a team of about ten people.

The three of them immediately held their breath.

Yan Ruyu looked over there through the gaps between the branches and leaves. There was only light in their place in the forest, which was particularly obvious.

As I got closer, I found that two of the dozen or so people were walking in front, holding torches, with disheveled hair, unknown patterns painted on their faces, and long red tongues sticking out.

A few people in the middle behind were carrying a coffin. This coffin was wide and long, much larger than Xun Long. It would not be a problem for three people to lie in it, let alone one person.

Looking back again, before Yan Ruyu could clearly see the clothes of the people behind her, she suddenly saw something else at the end of the coffin.

It's a pity that the light is too dark and blocked, so it's really difficult to see clearly.

After staring for a long time to no avail, he looked at the last few people. Those people were tall and very powerful. They had unknown things smeared on their faces, and their skin color was very dark and shiny, which reminded Yan Ruyu of the bronze figures in the movie.

They carry knives on their sides, which are slightly narrow and long, and are different from ordinary knives.

The person behind must be the martial arts master of this team.

These people don't look like villagers.

Just as Yan Ruyu's thoughts changed, the thing at the end of the coffin that she hadn't seen clearly suddenly moved.

He seemed to stretch and slowly raised his head. He was actually a ten-year-old child!

It was a little girl with a double bun and a red headband. Her eyebrows were painted thickly black, with a red dot between her eyebrows. Her cheeks and mouth were also painted very red.

She had two big eyes, pitch black, and she didn't speak or move. She was covered with a black robe. It was probably because the robe was a bit big that it covered her head and face, so she couldn't see her clearly.

When Yan Ruyu saw this child, she couldn't help but think of Brother Rui. When they first met, he didn't talk or laugh, and knew nothing about the outside world.

Could it be...

For a moment, many jokes about using children and women as sacrificial gifts flashed through Yan Ruyu's mind, and she couldn't help feeling a little cold.

While thinking, the team had already passed by them and headed towards the water.

Li Jingyao's boat was still at the water's edge, but it had retreated into the grass, half hidden, and could not be seen clearly in the dark night.

The night is deep, the sound of water flowing is particularly clear, and light fresh air rises from the water. The wind blows, and the moisture and coolness hit the body and penetrate into the bone marrow.

Yan Ruyu watched the team stop, a loud whistle sounded, and a boat came from the other direction.

The boat was much smaller than Li Jingyao's boat. It had pointed ends and cut through the water. It came very fast, almost appearing in the blink of an eye and approaching in the blink of an eye.

A red lantern hung on the bow, like thick blood painting a large picture in black.

No one got off the boat, only a plank was set up, and several people in the team boarded the boat one by one.

Yan Ruyu stared at the girl sitting on the coffin. She had not moved since she appeared in Yan Ruyu's sight until now.

Even on the boat, the man was carrying the coffin.

The moment the coffin was carried onto the boat, and Yan Ruyu was about to look away, the girl suddenly turned her head, like a puppet, turning in the direction of Yan Ruyu.

The corner of his mouth curled up, as if he was smiling.

But if a timid person saw this scene, he would be so frightened that he fainted.

Yan Ruyu saw her looking straight at her, and had a premonition that something was not good.

The next moment, the few bronze men who had broken off their team were already coming this way.
