Chapter 159 Fog rises, secret signal
Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Zhiqing still found it a bit difficult to walk once he actually stepped onto the path.
In order to facilitate her movements, her shoes were all made by Aunt Mu herself and were very hard.
After walking on the gravel road for a while, she felt a burning pain in the soles of her feet.
Jiang Liuyun is a martial artist after all. Not only can he move very fast, but his speed is also getting faster and faster.
Lin Zhiqing didn't want to slow down, so he didn't say anything.
Just as she gritted her teeth and moved forward, Lu Huai suddenly spoke:
"Brother Jiang, please slow down. I can't walk anymore."
Jiang Liuyun's pace really slowed down: "Brother Lu, your body is really too weak. It's obvious that you don't like to exercise on weekdays."
"Why don't you come with me to the camp outside the capital some other day to practice hard? I guarantee you'll be able to walk ten miles in one breath without any problems."
"Don't you think so, Qing'er?"
Jiang Liuyun turned around and very "inadvertently" showed off his handsome profile and strong arms.
Lin Zhiqing knew in his heart that Lu Huai was helping him out.
"Go slower, I can't walk anymore." Lin Zhiqing waved his hand.
"Qing'er, you are weak and frail, it's normal that you can't walk." Jiang Liuyun patted his shoulder and squatted in front of Lin Zhiqing:
"Come on up, I'll carry you on my back."
Lu Huai: ...
Isn’t this attitude difference too obvious?
Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "No, the fog ahead is getting thicker and thicker. It's too unsafe to carry me on your back. Just walk slower."
"It's okay, I'm very stable and I won't let you fall." Jiang Liuyun squatted on the ground without getting up: "Qing'er, come up quickly."
Soon, Jiang Liuyun felt his back sink and someone was lying on it.
He stood up and shook himself twice: "Qing'er, are you ready to use the supplements I sent you?"
"I ate it." Lin Zhiqing replied, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in his voice.
"You're still so light after eating. It doesn't take much effort for me to carry you. I'll give you more next time." Jiang Liuyun was quite proud: "If it were Brother Lu, he would definitely not be able to carry you."
As soon as Jiang Liuyun finished speaking, he felt a pain in his back and couldn't help but scream.
"Qing'er, you..." He turned around and wanted to ask Lin Zhiqing why she pinched him, but he saw Lu Huai's face instead.
"You, you, you...why is it you!?" Jiang Liuyun loosened his grip, and Lu Huai fell to the ground in an instant.
He stood firmly on the ground: "I really can't walk, and my body is weak. Brother Jiang is so enthusiastic, how can I refuse?"
"I clearly asked Qing'er to come up, why are you coming up?" Jiang Liuyun put his hands on his hips.
Lu Huai shrugged: "I need you to carry me more than she does. Don't stop, keep going."
As he said this, he made a move as if he was going to get on Jiang Liuyun's back.
Jiang Liuyun jumped two meters away in an instant, with the word "rejection" written all over his face.
Lin Zhiqing watched these two funny guys interacting with each other from behind and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
It must be said that although Lu Huai was not as strong as Jiang Liuyun, after walking such a long distance, there was no sign of fatigue on his face, and he didn't even breathe heavily.
He has a delicate appearance and is not very strong. He is probably the type who looks muscular when dressed but thin when undressed.
However, in Jiang Liuyun's eyes, most weak scholars can be classified as thin.
For some unknown reason, Lin Zhiqing thought of Lu Huai in her dream.
Apart from being taller, Lu Huai seemed to be no different from now.
Thinking of that dream, Lin Zhiqing inevitably recalled the content of the dream.
Realizing that she had misjudged the idea, she shook her head vigorously, putting the dream behind her:
"Let's hurry up. There's a downhill road ahead. I suspect the fog will get thicker downhill, so be careful."
Hearing Lin Zhiqing's words, Lu Huai retreated behind her again.
Jiang Liuyun also looked at the road ahead seriously and didn't say anything else.
As the three of them walked down, the fog became thicker and thicker.
Lin Zhiqing was thinking about the evidence in her mind. When she looked up again, the thick fog had spread before her eyes.
In front of her, Jiang Liuyun's figure was vague and not very clear.
And the environment around her was very quiet, so quiet that it was a little weird.
Lin Zhiqing frowned and called Jiang Liuyun's name.
But Jiang Liuyun did not look back, and his pace became faster and faster.
Lin Zhiqing quickened her pace, trying to catch up with Jiang Liuyun, but Jiang Liuyun's figure disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye, and she couldn't keep up.
She quickly stopped and turned to look back.
Lu Huai's figure also disappeared without a trace.
"Lu Huai, are you there?" Lin Zhiqing still wanted to speak to confirm.
Her voice was very clear in the fog, but no one responded.
Things have developed to this point, how could Lin Zhiqing not see the strangeness in the fog.
The misty smoke gradually merged with the smoke rising from the lantern when she first entered Liu's mansion.
However, when she first saw something moving in the lantern, she didn't see clearly what it was.
Now that I think about it, isn’t it just this smoke?
"Liu Mang, ah Liu Mang, I really underestimated you." Lin Zhiqing muttered to himself.
She had thought that there might be obstacles along the way, but she didn't expect that Liu Mang would take advantage of the heavy fog on the way down the mountain to set up a small hypnosis array.
The reason why it is called a small hypnosis array is because it did not completely hypnotize Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing had previously thought of the dream, and his attention shifted from the dream to the evidence, so for a moment he did not pay attention to the misty fog.
She was not completely infected, but Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun were.
She remembered that when she looked up for the last time, they had reached the foot of the mountain and could see the street market.
Judging from the distance, the street we came from should not be far away.
Fortunately, this hypnosis array did not appear halfway up the mountain, so Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun would not be seriously injured due to the complex terrain.
Moreover, this location...
Lin Zhiqing thought of the letter he left when he left the Lin family.
"Spring sleep does not wake you up until dawn."
"The moon shines brightly before my bed."
Just as my thoughts were churning, two familiar voices came into my ears.
The sound seemed far away and vague.
Lin Zhiqing's mind moved, and the fog in front of her eyes quickly dissipated. The surrounding scene returned to normal. She couldn't help but touch her chest.
The psychological preconception she had made in her mind before leaving came into effect!
Before she could think too much, the familiar voice rang out again.
This time, both voices were clear.
"What are you reading? Even though I can't read, I know it's clearly Spring Sleep Without Dawn."
"Sister, Zhiqing's letter said the moonlight shines brightly before my bed. I won't be wrong."
Hmm...how did these two people bump into each other?
Lin Zhiqing remembered that he had told Aunt Mu to give the two letters to his cousin and brother respectively.
"Spring sleep does not wake you up until dawn" and "The moon is bright before my bed" were the secret codes she wrote in the letter.
