"Of course I saw it." Lu Yan looked calm on the surface, but the fact that he walked with his hands and feet trembling betrayed his mood. In his heart, he was not as calm as he looked on the outside.
Is this calico cat scolding him with its eyes?
Also, this yard is too quiet. There is no sound at all when you walk.
Ye Qingzhu couldn't help but be amused by him, "Junior Brother Lu's way of walking is really different. He actually walks with his hands and feet together." Lu Yan's cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment when he was teased.
When the black cat in the corner saw them enter the yard, it rushed over anxiously and roared at them.
Leng Qingning turned around and looked at it strangely, then watched the door close, blocking their line of sight.
She couldn't ignore the urgency in the cat's eyes just now. The moment she walked into the yard, Leng Qingning glanced at the girl and became secretly alert.
She subconsciously looked around the yard. Various animal skins and herbs were placed in the yard. A strong medicinal fragrance came from the house and the girl. An old hunting bow and arrow covered with a layer of dust hung next to the door. It seemed that the owner of this house was a hunter in the past.
"Yan Ci, do you feel anything is wrong?"
"Yan Ci?"
"Yan Ci?"
The little black snake in her sleeve hadn't moved for a long time. She was not used to its sudden silence. But, was it maybe sleeping too soundly?
[Dog system?]
Very good, even the dog system ignored her. She used to call it that, but this guy was the first to come out and jump up and down. It seems that there is indeed a problem here.
It seemed as if a strange force was isolating the connection between them. She glanced at the door behind her and wanted to get closer to leave this haunted place, but a layer of mist suddenly covered her eyes, like a ghost wall preventing her from getting closer. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get through to the door.
What she was sure of now was that someone had set up a formation for them, and they had become lambs to be slaughtered. Leng Qingning immediately moved closer to Ye Qingzhu and hugged her thighs tightly.
"Senior Sister, I feel something is wrong here. I can't even get through. Do you think we have entered a formation?" Leng Qingning said seriously. She felt extremely miserable. If she returned from this experience, she would definitely give herself a few days off to rest and comfort her wounded young heart.
Ye Qingzhu immediately looked at her in surprise, then lowered his voice so that the four of them could hear, "Xiao Qingning is right. Someone has indeed set up a formation here, and the enemy is quite powerful. From now on, the three of you must be extra careful."
Zuo Shaoqian felt very bad. They had just come out of the wolf's den and walked into the tiger's den. It was really bad luck. Seeing this, Lu Yan signaled to him not to alert the enemy.
"Meow~"
The black cat outside the door scratched the door hard to attract the attention of the people inside, but it was all in vain. It looked at the high wall with some fear, and finally jumped up and jumped onto the wall.
Seeing that they were still unwilling to enter the house, the girl came out of the house anxiously and urged: "Come in, guests, grandpa is still waiting for you inside." The fog in the yard seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and a thin layer of fog hung on the girl's face, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Guests, please come in. Grandpa is waiting for you inside."
Against the backdrop of the strange fog, the little girl's fair face looked abnormally pale. She kept repeating words urging them, and her expression was as strange as a puppet.
Zuo Shaoqian swallowed his saliva, "Senior Sister, are we really going to follow her in? Will there be any traps?"
"Please come in, guests. Grandpa is waiting for you inside," the little girl kept repeating this sentence.
"Go in, why not? I want to see what kind of pit this guy has dug for us to jump into."
The house was filled with broken things. An old man, skinny as a skeleton, was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes, protruding like goldfish, were bloodshot.
"Grandpa, the guests have arrived."
"Ningning, be good. Go make some tea and help grandpa entertain the guests."
"Yes, grandpa." The little girl looked empty-eyed and turned to walk towards the kitchen. Zuo Shaoqian pinched Lu Yan's arm tightly.
"Hiss~ Why are you trying so hard? Why don't you let go?"
The old man's gloomy and cloudy eyes stared straight at the two female cultivators. Leng Qingning felt like she was bitten by a poisonous snake and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body. The four of them also looked at the thin old man.
"What's the matter with you, my friends?"
Ye Qingzhu said straight to the point: "Old man, we are disciples of the Zixia Sect. We heard that cat demons have been wreaking havoc here for years and many people have died, so the sect specially sent us to investigate the truth about the cat demons."
"But when we arrived in Lucheng, we found that it was almost deserted. We searched for two days and didn't find many living people. Instead, there were groups of wild cats attacking people on the streets. So we came here specifically to find out what happened here."
When the old man heard their identities, his cloudy goldfish eyes flashed with an obscure glint, "So you guys are disciples of the Zixia Sect. No wonder you look so extraordinary. Alas, all this is a sin."
"Grandpa, the tea is ready." The girl walked in stiffly with the teapot in her hand. She no longer had the shyness she had when she opened the door before. Instead, she poured four cups of tea like a puppet, staring at them with her big, lifeless eyes.
Guests drinking tea
Leng Qingning held the teacup in her hand as if it were a hot potato. Her eyes rolled, she gasped, jumped up, and let go of the teacup, which fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Yes, I'm sorry, this cup is really too hot, I couldn't help it, and I accidentally spilled the tea, it's all my fault." Leng Qingning deliberately showed a part of her hand that was burned red.
The little girl named Ningning found another cup and poured her a fresh cup of tea. Leng Qingning was thinking about how to pour out the tea. Under the gaze of the grandfather and grandson, she could only slowly put the cup to her lips.
Ningning stared at her with her dark eyes, "Sister, is the tea not tasty? Then Ningning will make you another pot?" Leng Qingning was frightened by seeing this.
Her body seemed to be out of control, and she was about to bring the teacup to her mouth.
"Meow~"
A petite black figure suddenly slammed into her arm, causing the teacup in Leng Qingning's hand to tilt and fall to the ground with a bang, shattering into pieces.
She also bumped into Ningning, knocking the teapot in Ningning's hand to the ground, spilling the scalding tea all over the floor, but there was no expression of pain on her face.
