Chapter 104
Chapter 104
.Everyone knew that once the bridge was broken, unless wings grew immediately, they would have to be trapped in this villa.
Gu Lan said to Chu Yunxi at the moment: "My lord, now is not the time to hesitate, ask all the servants in your villa to prepare buckets, and we will divide into two groups, one to save the owner and the other to seize the trestle bridge. Pull down the gate of the villa."
Chu Yunxi may have been in seclusion for too long and couldn't bear the stimulation, so she just stared at Gu Lan blankly for a long while.
"Young Master Chu?"
Ye Qin turned over and jumped onto the fence, and was about to dive down, when he suddenly saw a long line floating on the cliff.
That is the trestle that was cut off.
Chaos Taoyuan ([-]) red and white
When Chu Yan was rescued, he was almost breathless. Fortunately, Gu Lan successfully brought him back to life.
After he woke up, he held Gu Lan's arm tightly, and the first thing he said was: "Feng Que...Feng Que is gone!"
The second sentence is: "Jiaoer, have you found my Jiaoer?"
Gu Lan signaled him not to get too emotional, shook his head and said, "We've searched almost the entire villa this day, but there's no sign of Second Miss."
Chu Yan sighed, and closed his eyes in pain: "How could this be..."
Gu Lan placed his three fingers on his wrist, and seeing his pulse gradually improve, he said slowly, "Master Chu, I would like to know, did you see any suspicious people when you entered the Zhuan Gong Pagoda?"
Chu Yan said: "I found that the key on my body was missing, I thought it was Jiaoer who was going to escape by taking the phoenix, and I just wanted to stop her quickly, but when I reached the top floor, the mysterious door behind me was suddenly closed from the outside , I saw that the stand on which the phoenix was placed was actually empty, and I was so anxious that I didn't notice that the wooden puppets in the corner were already on fire..."
"Someone closed the door from the outside?" Gu Lan hurriedly asked, "Then who were the people who went in with you at that time?"
Chu Yan said: "They are all servants of the villa. They have been with me for so many years. I can trust their character and character. They will never be the ones who set the fire."
This is true, because the servants who followed Chu Yan were all burned to death. Many people saw that he brought nine people in. After Gu Lan and them put out the fire with great effort , A full nine charred corpses were found from inside. "Is there no one but servants?"
Chu Yan thought for a while: "I never noticed, by the way, what about Yun Xi, why isn't he here?"
Gu Lan said: "Young Master Chu is studying how to repair the trestle bridge."
"What?" Chu Yan was astonished, and his eyes suddenly became flustered, "What happened to the trestle, is the young master of Jingliancheng injured?"
"Jinglian City's family escorting team was attacked on the other side. The life and death of the young city owner is uncertain, and the trestle bridge was cut off by gangsters." Gu Lan stood up and gathered his cloak. The Fanjian Villa has suffered such a major change, and the servants and maidservants have long been in chaos. In a mess, all the leaders are missing, and now there is no one who burns the fire, and the inside of the house is as cold as an icehouse.
Unlike those people outside who have fallen out, Gu Lan is very indifferent: "It is naturally the best way to find Feng Que, otherwise everyone will be trapped in this mountain, even if there is no need to worry about firewood and food, it will be a long time It's difficult to live in peace, and it's hard to explain in Jianghu, who are the people who came today, the owner of the village must know better than me."
Chu Yan seemed to be about to cry, and his expression was extremely uncomfortable. He could imagine what his villa would be like in the next few days, and swung his fists on the bed: "Ah, the sky is going to kill me, the sky is going to kill me!"
Gu Lan said: "Calm down, owner, can't we go around Chaye Mountain? Although it will take a long time, this is the only way at present."
"You don't know," Chu Yan said helplessly, "You can't enter that mountain at all."
"Why?"
"There are monsters in the mountains!"
"Monster?" Zhu Qing stared at Chu Yunjia suspiciously and nervously, trying not to make herself look timid, "Speak clearly, what kind of monster, don't scare people while it's dark."
The tables in the banquet hall were surrounded by people who did not go to the cliff, but only a candle was lit on the table in the middle. The trestle bridge was broken, and supplies could not be supplied in time, so the lamps and candles must be saved for use. .Chu Yunjia looked dejected, lying on the table listlessly, with strange lamp shadows flickering on his face: "There are countless monsters in the mountains, and they are all things that cannot be explained by common sense. What do they look like? I have never seen them before. People who can see them clearly have been gutted. As soon as a person enters the mountain, he will be attacked by monsters. My father has tried various methods to enter the mountain before, but all failed without exception. After that, no matter how much money we paid, no one went in again.”
Pei Jiandao: "Could it be some strange-looking beasts? Since they are so ferocious, why does your father still make his home in Shaye Mountain?"
Wandering spit out a mouthful of melon seeds: "Xiao Pei is amazing, he can always find the key to the problem."
Liao Xuechan also asked: "What do you mean 'difficult to explain with common sense'? Is it a strange shape, or what?"
Chu Yunjia was a little impatient, but a bunch of people were waiting to hear and kept urging, so he could only continue to say: "When I was very young, a monster ran into the villa."
He stared at the flickering candle flame, and his thoughts drifted away, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago.At that time, Chu Yunjia was only four or five years old. It had not been long since the whole family moved to Mount Shaye, and the villa had not yet been fully completed. That day he and his mother were sitting on the rocking chair in the courtyard looking at the flowers, leaning on her lap without knowing it. fell asleep.
Suddenly the surrounding vegetation trembled, and a sharp and shrill scream broke the quiet afternoon. Chu Yunjia woke up startled, but her mother covered her eyes and held her tightly in her arms.From between his fingers, he vaguely saw a gray shadow flash past, and his mother trembled violently, calling out, come, come!
Someone rushed over from a distance, and when they saw that thing, they all screamed in terror, and no one dared to go forward for a long time.The mother cried and shouted: "Go and save people!"
In a panic, Chu Yunjia poked his head out from her arms, and saw a huge gray-haired monkey squatting at the root of the rockery. He was too small at that time, and everything seemed bigger than it actually was, so that In his eyes, a hairy monkey as tall as a man looked even bigger and terrifying. It was covered with dirty, hard dark gray hairs, and its body shape was similar to that of an enlarged adult man. But it was only the size of an eggplant, and it looked extremely uncoordinated and extremely weird. Its front paws and feet were covered with sharp nails, like steel-cast eagle hooks.
In fact, he found out later that the thing wasn't a monkey at all, at least not quite a monkey.The monster was forced to the rockery step by step by the servants with knives. It bared its teeth and sneered, and turned to this side. Only then did Chu Yunjia see its face. Its mouth was covered with dense steel needles. Its teeth, eyes, and nostrils are unclear, and the other half of its body does not grow hair, but is composed of several metal brackets crookedly, and its shape is very similar to a human skeleton.
The metal hand of the monster pierced through the chest of a young maid, and the blood seeped into its body bit by bit along the jagged iron wall, and soon the hair on the other half of its body began to emit a strange luster, and the monster instantly seemed refreshed, Full of energy.
The little maid's pupils collapsed, and she has stopped making a sound, like those abandoned puppets in her father's trap room, hanging limply on the monster's arms.
Later, those bloody scenes seemed to reappear in front of Chu Yunjia's eyes, he couldn't help shivering, and vaguely remembered that it was the second sister's keel spear that saved everyone.
But he will not tell all these to outsiders, there is no need.
"That's why I saw it unintentionally. It's a monster that looks specious, not like a human or a beast, half dead and half alive."
"Tch," Wandering was dissatisfied with this explanation, "it's no different from not saying anything."
Later, the group of people who were investigating on the edge of the cliff came back. Gu Lan waited in front of the banquet hall, and when he saw Ye Qin, he asked, "How is it? Is there a possibility of repairing it?"
Ye Qin said: "No. The distance between the two sides of the river is too far to cross at all. There is a deep abyss below. The rock wall is steep and slippery, and it is extremely difficult to climb. In addition, the snow melts, and going down is a dead end."
Everyone was downcast. Chu Yunxi must have suffered a lot of censure along the way, so she turned the wheelchair silently and walked beside her.
"What should we do?" Qi Yu, head of Qiong Mountain, said, "There are still important matters in the mountain gate waiting for me to go back to deal with. Looking at the current situation, we have to stay in this village in a short time. The monster can't turn over, what should I do now!"
Gu Lan recalled the corpses of Qiongshan disciples found in the stone palace, and told them anonymously about the cause and effect of Baiji City a few days ago. Seeing that the head of Qi didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing a detailed investigation, he didn't know what he was thinking, or Qiongshan was an insider in this constant turmoil, as well as Phantom Palace and Fanjian Villa. What kind of ulterior deal did they reach with She Youji?
Taking a hasty glance at the crowd, he found that Murong Qing, the Mirage Palace Master, was nowhere to be seen. Gu Lan asked, "Didn't Mirage Palace Mistress go to the cliff with you? Why didn't she come back?"
All the listeners shook their heads blankly. In fact, it wasn't until Gu Lan mentioned it that they realized that they hadn't seen Murong Qing for a long time.
"Young Master Chu," Gu Lan looked at Chu Yunxi, "Young Master Chu?"
Chu Yunxi didn't come back to herself until the second call, turned the wheelchair a little closer to Gu Lan, and wrote lightly, "I've never seen her before."
In the light of the torch, Gu Lan glanced slightly, and saw that Chu Yunxi's right palm resting on the armrest was stained with dirt, and the color was red.
