Li Sui Town News 5
Chu Li's eyes were filled with panic, and the sense of imbalance in his body became more and more severe. All he saw was red blood.
The powerlessness of losing his voice and the pain in his body made him feel desperate.
But the next moment, she suddenly fell into a strong and warm embrace.
Chu Li was startled, and the pain in his body suddenly disappeared. In his blurred vision, the breeze gently caressed his face, and the red halo disappeared instantly.
What came into view was You Chengze's pale face.
The hair on his forehead was slightly long, just covering his eyebrows. Under the scattered moonlight, his deep eyes twinkled like stars, especially gentle and dazzling.
Only that pair of furrowed brows.
At this moment, Chu Li, out of inertia and fear, subconsciously hugged You Chengze's neck tightly. It took her a while to react to what had just happened. Seeing You Chengze clearly in front of her, she felt inexplicably at ease. She leaned close to You Chengze's ear and opened her mouth to speak.
Suddenly, a fierce force came from the thigh.
Chu Li's eyes froze slightly, and he looked at You Chengze, the culprit, stupidly.
Several questions flashed through her mind, such as, "You Chengze, do you think you can grab my legs?", "You Chengze, men and women should not touch each other, do you understand this principle?!", "You Chengze, you must double the compensation for my mental damages!"
However, just as these words passed through his mind, they were interrupted by a familiar voice and instantly stopped in his mouth.
"Dear guests, why are you here?"
It was Jiang Xizhi's voice.
Chu Li's heart suddenly tightened, and his arms around You Chengze's neck tightened even more.
Thinking of what the four sisters had just said, Chu Li realized what she had done. Not only had she climbed over the wall, but she had also seen a strange doll in the yard. Even more embarrassingly, she had been caught by the mayor himself.
Chu Liyu glanced outside, but found that the four sisters who were standing there just now had disappeared.
In this desolate and scary Youning Courtyard, only You Chengze and she were left.
Got cheated!
Chu Li secretly sighed and was about to speak.
The next moment, she felt someone patting her back regularly. Then, You Chengze's slightly hoarse voice broke the long silence, "Sorry, I was just passing by and didn't mean to intrude."
You Chengze didn't let go of Chu Li. He hugged the girl tightly and bowed slightly. As if he had thought of something, the man who rarely spoke added, "She was injured when she came here, and seeing the courtyard here, she desperately sought medical help."
After he said this, the expression of the person opposite him remained unchanged.
Chu Li frowned, his clenched fists already soaked with sweat.
"Go back. I'll have someone get medicine for our distinguished guest." Jiang Xizhi relaxed his brows and continued, "There are many evil spirits here. Please don't come here again."
Chu Li didn't expect that this man didn't pursue the matter any further. He smiled at Jiang Xizhi, thanked him and said that he knew it.
-
On the way back, You Chengze still did not let go of Chu Li, perhaps to reveal his flaws.
After returning to the resting place, You Chengze put the person on the bed, said nothing, and prepared to walk out the door.
Chu Li was quick to grab You Chengze's wrist and said anxiously, "Where are you going?"
The man in front of him frowned.
Chu Li sighed softly, "Do you know that I was just--"
Hmm?
Chu Li stared blankly at his blocked mouth and You Chengze's face so close to him.
Suddenly, under the candlelight, a blurry black shadow swayed back and forth outside the paper-pasted window.
Chu Li instantly understood what You Chengze meant. There was someone outside the door, and Jiang Xizhi became suspicious. Now was not the best time to discuss these things.
Chu Li subconsciously held his breath.
At this moment, the room became extremely quiet.
She could clearly hear the alternating and disordered breathing between herself and You Chengze.
They didn't know how long they maintained this posture. Only when the thick shadow outside the window disappeared did You Chengze let go of the hand that was covering Chu Li's mouth.
The moment he let go, Chu Li breathed freely.
After calming down, she saw You Chengze about to go out again.
This time, Chu Li still didn't let him go. She tightly grabbed You Chengze's sleeve, swallowed her saliva, and whispered tentatively: "Can you...stay here with me?"
Actually... she didn't want this to happen either.
Chu Li has always been brave. When she went out with her friends in the past, she was always the first to be affected when encountering such mysterious things.
But it's different here. In this alien continent, any horrible thing will be reproduced in a realistic manner.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the several groups of dolls she had just seen in Youningyuan rushed towards her with their bloody mouths wide open.
Just as Chu Li was feeling emotional, she suddenly saw You Chengze turn around and look at her.
She touched her nose awkwardly, "I..."
"Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then uttered a soft "Oh" and got on the bed. She turned over and her eyes fell on You Chengze.
He has found a place to sit down.
no.
He was still injured, so it seemed particularly immoral to occupy the bed.
Chu Li pursed his lips and called out, "You Chengze."
"Um."
"How about we switch, I'll sit on the chair and you sleep on the bed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man sitting on the chair cast a cold look at him.
Chu Li: ...
Did he just give me a cold look?
What a stinky man, he is kind but takes it for granted. How easy is it for her!
Isn't she worried that something might happen to his body?
Chu Li was furious. Since You Chengze was so persistent, she didn't bother to care about anything else. She simply turned her back and prepared to have a good rest.
However, even with You Chengze's company, the horrifying scene she had just witnessed was like a movie playing frame by frame, and could not be erased from her mind.
Chu Li tossed and turned, staring up at the roof with his eyes open.
The shadow of the candlelight swayed above the house. After a while, the candlelight suddenly disappeared and the world began to fall into darkness.
Chu Li paused, pulled the quilt over his body, and leaned against the wall next to him.
This series of actions didn't work at all. She just felt that those images were frozen in her mind and could be swallowed up at any time.
Chu Li clutched the quilt tightly and looked towards the chair.
Because the room was dark and she was too scared, she couldn't see You Chengze sitting on the chair clearly.
She trembled and forced herself to speak, "You..."
You Chengze.
Before she could call out the man's name, the next moment, the fresh fragrance of green plants wafted into her nose.
She was held tightly in You Chengze's arms.
In the darkness, he didn't know what the man's expression was. Through the cloth, he could only hear the strong heartbeat in You Chengze's chest. This sound inexplicably calmed Chu Li.
She breathed a sigh of relief, tightly grasped the clothes on You Chengze's arm, and whispered, "Thank you."
"Go to sleep."
Chu Li hummed softly, then asked, "Why don't you ask me what I saw?"
The man holding her didn't say anything, but just pulled the quilt over and covered Chu Li with it.
Chu Li was covered tightly by him, but the uneasiness and fear in her heart still remained. She took a deep breath and, regardless of whether the man was scared or willing to listen, kept saying, "Those four sisters clearly want to drag us down. We are so kind to help them, but they ran away when they encountered danger! I'd better not meet them, otherwise I will beat them to a pulp!"
"And that Youning Courtyard is also very strange! You Chengze, do you know what I saw?" Chu Li lowered his voice and leaned his head towards You Chengze's ear. Thinking of the group of people who had just monitored him, he lowered his voice again and said to himself, "I saw a string of dolls, each with a different expression, and they rushed towards me when they saw me! Dolls are just objects, how could they suddenly come alive? It must be the work of that strange talisman at the door!"
Now that the floodgates of conversation had opened, Chu Li couldn't stop at all. She kept telling You Chengze about the scene she had just seen. As if she was afraid that the man wouldn't believe her, she emphasized the matter of the doll.
You Chengze remained silent.
Chu Li was not angry. Now that the man was right next to him and they were close to each other, he was not as scared as he was at the beginning.
It's just a bit boring because men don't like to talk much.
She sighed softly and continued, "You're not surprised at all?"
“Surprised, but also understandable.”
This was quickly answered.
But no matter how Chu Li analyzed his words, he couldn't make any sense. He wanted to ask the reason, but the man beside him spoke first: "It's late, let's go to sleep first. They don't dare to touch us. We will have the answer tomorrow."
Why don’t you dare to move?
She felt that everyone in this town was a hypocrite, someone who could kill Chu Li at any time.
However, before he could ask back, Chu Li heard a steady breathing sound in his ears.
You Chengze fell asleep holding her in his arms.
The two people slept facing each other.
You Chengze was lying on the pillow, and Chu Li could see You Chengze's quiet face by just raising his eyes slightly.
Although her vision was dim and blurry, the man's outline was still very delicate. This was the first time Chu Li had been so close to a man, and she felt quite nervous.
But honestly, this face can really beat all the handsome guys she has seen before.
It's better to fall asleep.
Chu Li was thinking in his heart, and soon he felt his eyelids getting heavier, and he fell asleep against You Chengze.
-
The next morning.
Chu Li had no dreams that night.
When she opened her eyes and woke up, she touched the bed next to her and felt the residual warmth on it. Chu Li suddenly jumped up from the bed.
She looked around for a while, but You Chengze was no longer in the room.
Chu Li quickly washed up and immediately took his backpack to find You Chengze.
After thinking about it carefully, she still felt that this place was not very reliable, so she had to take Maorongrong with her to get the collection of chapters.
This place is dangerous and treacherous, and she doesn't want to die in vain. Later, she and Jiang Xizhi will act like spoiled brats three times in a row, and this mayor will definitely be defeated!
Chu Li was thinking and had already walked out the door.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw You Chengze, who had changed into casual clothes, standing at the door.
Chu Li didn't see his expression clearly, and immediately walked to his side and said, "Great, I was looking for you. I just thought about it and I still think we should get the seal and leave quickly. Go pack your luggage, and we will go find the mayor."
"Chu Li."
You Chengze's voice was cold and intimidating.
Chu Li's hands froze, and then he looked at You Chengze's face.
His brows were furrowed and his face looked extremely serious.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
You Chengze has always been cold and dull, and there are few things that can move a man's emotions.
Seeing him lose his composure like this, Chu Li felt extremely scared.
The next moment, the person in front of him raised his hands and placed them on Chu Li's shoulders. Then, a slightly trembling voice sounded: "You have to be mentally prepared."
Chu Li clasped her hands tightly together at her sides. Before she could recover from these words, a shocking piece of news suddenly exploded in her heart.
The spirit pets are missing!
Chu Li broke free from You Chengze's hand and asked anxiously, "Have you looked for them? They were so well behaved, how could they have disappeared?"
"We've looked everywhere, including the Tianquan store." You Chengze noticed the girl's emotional fluctuations and took the initiative to comfort her, "Calm down first. They are so powerful, nothing will happen to them."
"How do I calm down?!"
Chu Li's impulse was stronger than his reason at this moment, and he shook off You Chengze's hand with all his strength.
She really couldn't calm down.
Before her time travel, she suffered repeated career setbacks and was often stuck in her own vicious circle, unable to escape. It was a few furry creatures that healed her. After her time travel, she arrived in this unfamiliar foreign land, nearly going insane. If she hadn't suddenly drawn out these spirit pets, she might have become a beggar on the street.
She would not allow anything to happen to these pets.
Tianquan store...Tianquan store.
It was the mayor who made this suggestion. It must be because she stepped into the restricted area last night, and this group of people wanted to use this to threaten Chu Li, so they kidnapped the furries.
This is too much. These people are so cruel and ruthless that they are not afraid of retribution!
Even if she lives up to her name, she has to save the pet.
"Where are you going?"
You Chengze reached out and caught Chu Li's movement to move forward, and asked.
Chu Li calmed down now, knowing that it wasn't You Chengze's fault. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to find Jiang Xizhi. They were the last people Mao Rongrong had contact with before he disappeared!"
After she finished speaking, she broke free from You Chengze's hand and ran away.
You Chengze couldn't do anything to her and could only follow Chu Li.
Along the way, Chu Li thought of many situations in which the furries might get into trouble, and every scene made her extremely scared.
She ran extremely fast, fearing that she would miss the crucial moment of rescuing Mao Rongrong.
When they finally arrived at their destination, Chu Li no longer cared about his appearance. He kicked the door open, bent down, picked up the stone at his feet, and walked into the house.
The people in the house had no idea what was happening.
At that time, they were holding a meeting on the town's economic development for the next quarter, and Chu Li's arrival shocked everyone present.
Seeing the red brick in Chu Li's hand, the officials, both high-ranking and low-ranking, who were drinking tea comfortably, all lost their color.
Only Jiang Xizhi, who was sitting on the main seat, gracefully supported his head with his slender hands, his eyes slightly raised, as if looking at Chu Li who came in as if he were an outsider.
