Lisui Town News 4

"What is Ningyuan?"

Chu Li frowned and asked curiously.

As soon as these words were spoken, the girl in front of him was suddenly startled, and a trace of panic flashed across her face illuminated by the firelight.

Even the remaining sisters who were fighting suddenly stopped and looked towards Chu Li.

This made Chu Li even more curious about what the Youning Courtyard that Lu Xia mentioned was.

A plan came to her mind, and she suddenly curled her lips into a smile, tempting him, "Everything has to have a cause and effect. Since you want our help, shouldn't you also tell us where this place is? Otherwise, I can't guarantee that this person is in a good mood today. After all, your sisters have been pestering him for a while."

Chu Li finished speaking, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at You Chengze. The man was quite cooperative and immediately became serious. Lu Dong beside him moved away in an instant.

"I said..." The person who spoke was Lu Chun.

Perhaps because she was worried that her second sister would be bullied, she took the lead in pulling the person behind her, with a look of selflessness on her face.

Chu Li wanted to laugh, she curled her lips slightly, and the next frame she heard Lu Chun speaking softly.

Youningyuan is located at the back of Lisui Town. It is covered with dead trees and is very different from the bustling and lively place here. Few people come here.

Of course, no one can go anywhere for a walk.

Because Youningyuan was a restricted area in Lisui Town, Jiang Xizhi had specifically ordered that no one should approach. These young people were very curious, but due to Jiang Xizhi's orders, they did not dare to disobey too much.

Chu Li couldn't help but chuckle. Was he really making a joke of her and You Chengze's lives?

"What happened in there? Why did it become a restricted area?" Chu Li asked again.

In an instant, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Chu Li's gaze fell on the four sisters' unspeakable faces. He suddenly turned around, grabbed You Chengze's wrist and was about to leave.

Lu Xia's voice immediately came from behind, "We don't know exactly, we just know someone died there."

Someone died?

Chu Li paused, his curiosity instantly aroused, and he immediately turned around and looked at the four girls.

Lu Xia lowered his eyes and whispered, "Father told us before that a few years ago, more than a dozen children from families in this town mysteriously disappeared, and he specifically told us not to run around."

"Then why do you want to go over and take a look now?"

"Now that we've grown up, we want to find out what's going on and see if the adults are just kidding us." Lu Xia paused, her face flushing. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I don't want to be looked down upon by the boys in school..."

"Is that so?" Chu Li deliberately stretched out his voice and suddenly asked, "But we are outsiders. It doesn't seem appropriate for us to go to the forbidden area? Besides, we have only known each other for a few hours. Why should we help you complete your boring adventure?"

After hearing this, the Four Seasons sisters fell silent.

Chu Li deliberately emphasized her tone, hoping to frighten them. Ultimately, she had to go and find out what was going on at Youningyuan. She had thought it was just an ordinary, peaceful town, but she hadn't expected such a bizarre story behind it.

She had to reply.

Chu Li was calculating in his mind when he heard Lu Qiu, who had been silent the whole time, say, "How about this...we'll treat you to whatever you want to eat or play at any of the stalls along the street."

"So rich?" Chu Li teased.

"No..." Lu Qiu's voice dropped a little. "My family is responsible for managing the stalls in town, so naturally they will look after us."

I see.

Chu Li suddenly understood, and then pretended to think for a while before saying, "Okay, you lead the way."

The Four Seasons sisters were particularly happy to receive Chu Li's response.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy that was hard to suppress. Then the four sisters waved to the two of them and walked happily towards the path on the left.

Chu Li deliberately distanced himself from the four sisters until he was walking side by side with You Chengze.

She secretly glanced at You Chengze's tense face in the moonlight and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

She was referring to the fact that Lu Dong was pestering her.

"Um."

"What do you think of what the four sisters just said?"

Chu Li continued to ask.

The man lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze following the moonlight hanging in the sky. Chu Li saw his thin lips slightly parted, and a pleasant voice sounded immediately, "It doesn't seem like a lie."

"I'm a little curious about the connection between Youning Courtyard and the missing baby," Chu Li murmured. Then, thinking of the baby's cries he heard when crossing the river that day, he asked, "Do you remember the sounds from when you were crossing the river before? This courtyard seems to be right on top of a cliff, with the river below. Could someone have done this on purpose?"

Before Chu Li could wait for You Chengze to respond, the four sisters had already stopped and looked over here.

Lu Xia waved towards them enthusiastically as usual, shouting, "Come here quickly."

Chu Li quickened her pace and when she got closer she realized that the scene here was exactly the same as what they had described.

The ground was barren, the trees were dry, and not a blade of grass grew.

Only this abandoned house covered with dead leaves stands here.

After being washed by rain for a long time, the red walls have become much darker, and the surrounding green plants have long since died, leaving a dark mass that is extremely creepy.

Chu Li frowned, took a few steps forward, and his eyes fell on the seal on the black door.

The huge mayor's seal fell on the white paper, looking particularly eerie under the cold moonlight.

"Chu Li, come here."

Chu Li was thinking when Lu Chun suddenly pulled her aside. Then, she heard Lu Chun lower his voice and say anxiously, "You can't go out the main gate!"

"Why?"

Lu Chun cried out, "Ouch!" and pulled Chu Li towards the nearby wall. After reuniting with the rest of the group, she began to explain, "Didn't I just tell you someone died here? To exorcise the evil spirit, Uncle Jiang asked a pet summoner for a magic talisman. It will attack anyone who comes close, and Uncle Jiang will even be able to sense it."

Chu Li was silent for a moment, "Then how do we get in?"

"Climb over the wall!" Lu Xia answered.

Chu Li looked over and found that the little girl had carried several red bricks from somewhere and placed them against the wall. The series of movements did not seem difficult at all.

"This courtyard is protected by this talisman. Will I not be discovered if I climb over the wall?"

Chu Li asked curiously.

In the next frame, Lu Xia patted her shoulder, and her little face was filled with the words "Don't worry." "We'll just take a look at the wall. We won't go in. The talisman paper can't sense it."

Chu Li couldn't do anything about the four sisters. Looking at the bricks that suddenly piled up, she sighed softly.

She was a good young woman of the new era, never doing anything sneaky, but now she was actually trying to sneak over other people's walls. If she got caught, she would have to go to the police station for several days.

"Chu Li! You go first!"

"You're trying to trick me?"

"How could that be! None of us are spirit pet summoners, but you are!" Lu Xia smiled slyly, his eyes sparkling. "I heard from my father that spirit pet summoners can sense the energy fluctuations of their opponents and make the best choice immediately. We are all ordinary people, so you are the most suitable!"

have to.

She could hear the sound of this wishful thinking from thousands of miles away.

never mind.

Anyway, she was very curious, so there was nothing wrong with her going over to take a look.

Chu Li smiled at the four sisters, then suddenly thought of something and looked at You Chengze standing beside him.

The man was also looking at himself.

The two people's eyes met unexpectedly.

He frowned, looking somewhat unhappy, not knowing whether it was because this group of people was too noisy or because he was worried about Chu Li's comfort.

Lu Xia beside him was urging him again. Chu Li had no choice but to comfort him a few times and then stepped onto the red bricks.

The wall was not too high. Stepping on the red bricks, Chu Li jumped lightly and climbed to the top of the wall.

After she adjusted her body slightly and raised her eyes, she was stunned where she was.

In the dim vision, in the deserted house, tables and chairs were overturned on the ground, broken paper windows were hanging on one side, and white spider webs were everywhere.

Looking up slightly, I saw strings of rag dolls hanging neatly on the wall under the dilapidated eaves.

Chu Li's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed involuntarily. He wanted to look away, but suddenly he saw that the faces of the dolls that were originally absent had several more faces appear in the blink of an eye.

Laughing, crying, angry.

There were also faint related sounds.

Chu Li broke out in a cold sweat.

Her hands clinging to the wall were trembling slightly. She wanted to look away, but found that her whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all.

Suddenly, a familiar shrill cry suddenly rang out.

Not far away, the neatly arranged rag dolls moved slightly.

The rag doll in the lead seemed to sense Chu Li's presence and suddenly opened its eyes.

The eye socket without an eyeball was like an endless whirlpool. The moment Chu Li looked into it, the fear in his heart suddenly seemed to be magnified several times.

She could not hear anyone shouting, only crying and the doll's sinister sneer.

She was forced to look up.

Suddenly, the rag doll began to speed up, and when it was in front of her, it suddenly opened its mouth and blood poured out.

Chu Li grabbed the side of the wall tightly and screamed hysterically in his heart.

The next moment, a light green light appeared.

Chu Li only felt a push coming towards the side of her chest.

She didn't have time to think and subconsciously let go of her hand. The world suddenly tilted and her body fell backwards by inertia.

The rag doll suddenly frowned and screamed in mid-air.

Not a moment later, the rag doll pounced towards this side again, still with its mouth full of blood.

Its body was filled with resentment, and its shrill screams reached Chu Li's ears one after another.

She felt her heart beating very fast, her eyes were swollen, and the blood in her body seemed to have touched a button and accelerated in an instant.

Chu Li's vision became increasingly blurred, and with her eyes half open and half closed, the bloody mouth was already in front of her.

It hurts so much.
