The general went out again at night

"Wouldn't there be a monster living in the bamboo leaves?" This scene was too unbelievable, Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise.Before, she thought that the tree coffin man was just a puppet under the control of the voodoo, and it was nothing to be afraid of because of witchcraft, but now seeing this demonized scene with her own eyes, she was shocked and severely overturned her previous thinking.

Xia Qingshu clenched her fists, and lightly bumped her chin, her brows were furrowed, and her head was running through her thoughts.The ink is not written, and the clear water can be inhaled, and there is a reaction, as if some kind of communication channel has been opened, it is possible that the water is different.

Xia Qingshu looked up at Liu Yan: "Where did you get this water?"

"The clear spring in the mountain called at dawn. The general suspects that there is something wrong with the water?"

Xia Qingshu nodded, and asked again: "Is this what we usually drink?"

"That's right, Yunlang Mountain is the closest to the military camp. There are several springs on the mountain. The water sent to the general's camp is all taken from there."

"In this case, the water is no problem..." Xia Qingshu frowned again.

Ji Qianyao picked up the bamboo leaf, turned it over to look at the back, and confirmed: "The water has indeed been absorbed by the bamboo leaf, and there is no water stain on the back. This water is no different from us, but different from bamboo leaves. "

Staring at the two characters for a while, Ji Qianyao speculated: "The word 'what' is obviously a response to us. The water that accidentally spilled on the bamboo leaves disturbed something, and then there will be a response. If we use this The mountain spring water writes on the leaves, and the water seeps into the leaves, and maybe a dialogue can occur.”

Xia Qingshu's eyes brightened, and she nodded in agreement: "You can give it a try." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her finger, dipped it in the water left on the table, and wrote stroke by stroke in the gap between the bamboo leaves: "Who are you?"

There was a sudden silence in the tent, even breathing was very light, the eyes of the four were fixed on the words on the bamboo leaves, not daring to move away for a moment.

changed!Bamboo leaves have changed again!Still just like before, Xia Qingshu's writing seeped into the bamboo leaves and slowly disappeared. After a while, the hollowed-out "what matter" healed and became a complete bamboo leaf, and then three small holes appeared on the leaf surface , the hole gradually grew larger, extending horizontally and vertically, forming three characters.

Cai Zhujun

"A name?" Xia Qingshu called out.

"Do you know?" Ji Qian looked at Xia Qingshu from afar with more searching eyes.Liu Yan and Jiang Xueqin also looked at Xia Qingshu, quietly waiting for her response.

Xia Qingshu was stunned, bit her upper lip and thought for a long time, and finally shook her head: "I don't know."

It is a strange "person".

Xia Qingshu dipped her fingers in water again, and wrote directly on the bamboo leaves: "I don't know you"

After a while, several words appeared on the bamboo leaves: "I don't know you either"

"Why did you save me?" Xia Qingshu asked again.

This response waited for a long time, as if the other party was thinking.After half a cup of tea, four words appeared on the bamboo leaves: "There is no reason"

This answer made everything confusing again.A person who didn't know Xia Qingshu before, wanted to save her for some reason, and even used such a strange bamboo leaf to talk to them...

"Ask it, who wants to kill you." Ji Qianyao touched Xia Qingshu's arm.

"it is good."

Xia Qingshu wrote this question on the bamboo leaves, this time Cai Zhujun replied quickly: "Seven guards in the tree coffin" "You have fought each other before"

Truly a tree coffin man.They guessed right, this incident was indeed related to the Tree Coffin Man.

Ji Qianyao focused on the word "seven guards" at the back, worried: "Does the tree coffin seven guards mean that there are as many as seven guards in the tree coffin, it is not a single individual, but a team ,or more?"

Jiang Xueqin tilted her head, her tone pretending to be relaxed: "There may only be seven of them."

Xia Qingshu glanced at the two of them, and said, "If you want to know a few, just ask me." She bent down, dipped her index finger in water, and when she was about to write, her movements froze. up.

Ji Qianyao leaned forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"The words on the bamboo leaves are gone." Xia Qingshu keenly noticed the difference.

The water gathered on Xia Qingshu's fingertips grew bigger and bigger, crystal clear, and finally there was a "click", and the water droplets fell on the bamboo leaves, and the sound was clearly audible.

The four of them stared at the drop of water on the bamboo leaves and remained silent for a while.

"The water won't seep in anymore." Xia Qingshu's expression became ugly.

***

The cloud cleared and the weather was fine. The dark clouds in the south of the Yangtze River cleared and were shrouded in warm sunshine.The sun was shining, and in the streets and alleys of the south of the Yangtze River, the wet bluestone roads were dry, and bamboo poles were set up in front of the doors and yards of every household, and all kinds of clothes and bedding were covered in the sun.

Moldy mats, bamboo baskets, wooden barrels, etc. were also moved outside the room, cleaned and placed in the sun to dry.

The bazaar opened, and there were crowds of people, with smiles on everyone's faces, walking the streets and alleys, and it was very lively.

In the Yang Mansion on Luohong Street, the servants were busy drying all kinds of things, their footsteps were hurried, and there was a lot of movement.There is only one place, very quiet, no one comes in and out, it seems to be isolated from the world.That is Zhaoyueju.

The warm sun was shining, and Cai Zhujun was standing in the warm sun in the backyard, standing still, still wearing a plain green long skirt, which covered the floor, but it was not stained with dust.She closed her eyes, breathed lightly, and was enjoying the sunshine, when suddenly the palm of her left hand felt wet, she raised her eyebrows, and then opened her eyes to look at the drops of water emerging from her left hand.

Found someone.

As soon as Cai Zhujun made a fist, the water stains in the palm of her hand disappeared. After she spread it out, she no longer felt wet. She raised her right hand, stretched out her index finger and wrote two characters on the palm of her left hand: "What is it?"

Stepping up the corridor of the south wing, Yang Xiyu's footsteps were very light, she looked solemn, bit her lower lip, looked left and right, looked back and forth.

She stepped forward cautiously, despising herself: in her own mansion, she actually walked like a thief.

There is no way to do this, who made Miss Cai so different.

Quietly bypassing the three front rooms, Yang Xiyu came to the bamboo forest again, this time she would not take the path in the forest again, she wanted the corridor, the corridor was empty and unobstructed, those sneaky stumbling blocks It's not easy to start with.

Stepping onto the corridor, Yang Xiyu lowered her waist.

In the backyard of Zhaoyueju, Cai Zhujun, who noticed Yang Xiyu, stopped his hand to write, and turned his head to look at the corridor next to Zhaoyueju.There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and immediately a leafless vine emerged from the ground and wrapped around the wooden pillars in the corridor.

Cai Zhujun bowed his head and wrote four words in sequence on his left hand: "There is no reason"

As soon as the words were written, there was a clear "Ouch" in my ears, which was Yang Xiyu's tragic scream.The sneer at the corner of Cai Zhujun's mouth deepened a bit, and he continued to look down at the words that popped out of his palm.

She originally thought that Yang Xiyu would give up and leave like the previous two times, but unexpectedly, as soon as she finished writing the words in her hand, the sound of hurried footsteps rushed into her ears.

Cai Zhujun frowned. Under the warm sun, she likes to be alone and doesn't like to be disturbed. Why does this woman named "Yang Xiyu" seek her so many times?

Putting down his right hand, Cai Zhujun held the fist of his left hand, and with a little force, sealed the "dialogue" on the bamboo leaf.She turned her back to the corridor, stood up straight, and closed her eyes.

Not long after, a sweet and loud voice sounded: "Miss Cai!" A figure running fast appeared on the steps in the backyard and was running down.

After falling twice, Yang Xiyu has experience.She protected her knees and elbows, so even if she fell, it wouldn't hurt much.Moreover, she also formulated a tactic, once she fell, she would get up immediately, taking advantage of the "thing" that tripped her, and rushed into Zhaoyue residence quickly.

If she hadn't thought of a countermeasure in advance, she would not have seen Miss Cai today after dozens of falls.

After walking around Zhaoyue Residence, Yang Xiyu found Cai Zhujun, and she ran towards the figure in the backyard happily. When she rushed down the steps, leafless vines came out from the colonnade and wrapped around Yang Xiyu without a sound. ankle.

Then there was another muffled sound. "Hey--" After the muffled sound, it was Yang Xiyu's pained sound.

Because she was running, she fell into a bit of a mess when she fell. She slid half a foot on the stone road, and her beautiful clothes were torn.

If she hadn't been wearing protective clothing, she would probably have had a lot of scratches on her body.

"Puff——" Yang Xiyu wrinkled her face, spat out the grit that splashed into her mouth, raised her head, and could just see Cai Zhujun's floor-covering skirt.

She always wanted to appear glamorously in front of her and leave a good impression, but things always backfired, and she fell so embarrassingly.

Yang Xiyu gritted her teeth, she couldn't control these things anymore, if she was in a mess, she would be in a mess, if she wasn't in a mess, she wouldn't even be able to see Miss Cai.She stood up with her arms propped up, patted her palms and the dust off her body, narrowed her eyes into crescents, and called out to Cai Zhujun's back: "Miss Cai."

Cai Zhujun has already calmed down and recuperated, ignoring her.

Yang Xiyu walked around in front of Cai Zhujun, and called softly again: "Miss Cai?"

Cai Zhujun was still standing motionless.

Yang Xiyu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, then walked around her side three times, and called out several times, but there was no response.

Yang Xiyu stroked her chin, and stopped three feet in front of Cai Zhujun in a mysterious manner, imitating her appearance and staying motionless.

The difference between the two is that Cai Zhujun's eyes are closed, while Yang Xiyu's eyes are open, and he can appreciate the beautiful face in front of him without any scruples.

Although her body is dirty, but compared to the hard-to-find side a few days ago, today's Yang Xiyu is already very satisfied.

Yang Xiyu is obsessed with beautiful things, beautiful jade, delicious food, beautiful scenery, beautiful clothes...as long as she thinks it is beautiful, she will have it if she can. happy thing.

She has seen a lot of beauties, without exception, they do not arouse her interest, not the kind of beauty she is obsessed with.After all, it is the word "feeling", this kind of thing that can only be understood but not expressed in words, only Yang Xiyu himself understands.

Cai Zhujun is different. Yang Xiyu was stunned when he saw her at first sight. The temperament she carries is different from those "beauties" Yang Xiyu has seen.
