The west room was occupied by Lin Shu, Huang Yingzong, and Qian Chang. Shehe listened intently; there was only one footstep, very light. She wrote down the character "Lin".
Lin Shu was outside.
The night was dark and the wind was high, with the shadows of the trees swaying gently.
Lin Shu clutched her stomach and left the courtyard alone through the doorway.
Her breathing was uneven, and a sharp pain came from her lower abdomen, as if a hand was pinching the surface of her skin with its nails and then twisting her abdomen forcefully.
Lin Shu was twisted until she trembled, and even her internal organs spasmed violently. But despite the pain, she still had to keep walking, like a puppet on a string, controlled by an irresistible force as she walked into deeper darkness.
A faint rustling sound suddenly rang in her ears. Lin Shu gritted her teeth and tried her best to go against the plot and slow down.
Yao Shu had said during the day that the evil spirits in the house hadn't been completely eliminated, and with that blind woman who wanted to use her to reincarnate, Lin Shu knew that her stomach was aching so badly that there were ghosts crawling in, and there might be more than one.
As she left, she noticed that Huang Yingzong and Qian Chang were "asleep," controlled by the plot, their eyes wide open, indicating their helplessness. Now, she could only hope that the people in the other two rooms would hear the creaking sound of the door opening.
Walking along the long corridor of the abandoned old house, Lin Shu bypassed a row of dilapidated houses and realized that she was getting closer and closer to a lake.
She quickly arrived at the dirty lakeside, and without stopping, stepped into the icy, bone-chilling water.
it hurts!
Lin Shu's taut nerves snapped instantly, and the next second, countless ghosts rushed into her body.
Countless fragmented images pierced her mind like shards of glass, leaving Lin Shu in a daze. In her trance, a clear, cold female voice appeared.
What are you spacing out for?
Lin Shu trembled as she saw a beautiful woman in her early twenties, dressed in ancient costume, staring at her.
Her eyes were like autumn water, her demeanor graceful and elegant; she was so beautiful that one couldn't look away.
"uncomfortable?"
Lin Shu shook her head, then suddenly realized that it was her body that was shaking her head, not her.
The beautiful woman remained silent, standing by the lake lost in thought.
Lin Shu looked around and recognized that this was the place she had just walked through.
The emerald lake and the carved corridors show no signs of decay or filth, indicating that this was the Yu family before its decline.
She... saw the past?
Lin Shu looked again at the woman standing by the lake. She was dressed in red with few decorations, only two kapok flowers in her hair. However, the gold filigree and gemstone earrings hanging from her ears indicated that she was a person of some status.
After a long while, a man dressed in black walked out from the other end of the corridor.
He looked over here, facing the woman in red across the lake.
Within two seconds, the two looked away from each other.
The man turned onto the road in the opposite direction, and the woman in red also turned her head away, no longer looking, and slowly walked back.
Lin Shu followed behind her, unable to resist watching the man's back.
People who practice martial arts all have their own habits and behaviors. She looked at the man's hand and vaguely guessed who he was.
The woman in red asked from ahead, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Lin Shu followed her a few steps and walked back with her. She didn't have much experience in love, but she wasn't stupid and could still understand feelings.
As she walked, the woman in red removed the red garment covering her body. She then removed a kapok flower, put a jade hairpin back in her hair, and returned to her simple and elegant attire.
"You waited so long just for this one glimpse?"
"It's time to go back."
She looked very weak, but gently patted Lin Shu's shoulder and repeated, "Let's go back."
"Varied…"
Lin Shu's vision suddenly went black, and excruciating pain returned to her body.
"Quick, pull it up."
"This water is freezing cold, I can't feel my hands, please help me."
"Lin Shu, Lin Shu!"
Jiang Xiaowan pressed on her chest, and her knuckles immediately turned red from the cold of Lin Shu's wet clothes.
"Wait, wait,"
Yao Shu tore open Lin Shu's clothes, revealing blood frozen into ice hanging on her lower abdomen. There was a hole the size of a palm there, as if it had been torn open by an external force. Blood covered the wound, and a wisp of black mist was hiding inside. If the clothes hadn't been torn open, no one would have noticed the wound at all.
"Oh My God……"
Qian Chang, arriving late and panting, said, "I thought she was lucky enough to only fall into the water with her lower body, but it turns out she was seriously injured..."
"If half of your body is missing, how can your whole body be soaked?" Jiang Xiaowan dared not perform CPR anymore. Lin Shu's hair was dripping wet; how could she have fallen into the water and only her lower body was submerged?
The problem is that when she and Yao Shu found Lin Shu, half of her body was on the shore and half was in the water.
Jiang Xiaowan: "Hasn't the rest arrived yet?"
"It should be soon. The plot in the main house hasn't finished yet. When I came, they couldn't leave the house. Fu Guan is the new male lead now, so it's more effective for him to use external forces to urge them to leave."
Where is Huang Yingzong?
"He's a scumbag. Because he's a coward, he had to wait a while. When I left, he couldn't move his body."
"This plot is absolutely ridiculous."
Jiang Xiaowan was truly speechless. Who would dare to touch Lin Shu like this? But if they didn't, Lin Shu would be on the verge of death.
"We can't ignore her. Lin Shu's whereabouts are suspicious. She might have new clues."
Qian Chang: "But how are we supposed to manage it?"
The situation reached a stalemate. Just then, the three heard a monkey's cry and a rustling sound coming from the bushes. Something was moving quickly toward them.
The group became alert, able to hear even the slightest sound clearly.
Suddenly, a dark figure jumped out. Qian Chang looked closely and saw a blind man whose tongue had been pulled out.
"You don't have eyes?!"
The blind man, like a lizard, quickly scrambled over. Qian Chang kicked him away and turned around to find three more blind men approaching Jiang Xiaowan and her two companions.
Jiang Xiaowan carried Lin Shu on her back, her knees buckled and she almost lost her balance. She hadn't expected that Lin Shu, who looked thin, was actually quite muscular and heavy.
Yao Shu grabbed a blind man who barely resembled a human, kissed him on the forehead, and immediately turned one of them to their side, creating an opening for herself and Lin Shu to run away.
Qian Chang shouted, "Give me the person, then you two can grab my clothes."
Jiang Xiaowan handed Lin Shu over to him, and the skill "Light as a Swallow" took effect, instantly increasing the three's escape speed.
As Qian Chang made a sharp turn away from the lake, several more blind men jumped out.
Jiang Xiaowan: "Bend over and run from the second one on the left."
Qian Chang did as instructed, but it was inconvenient to bring people along. Yao Shu was almost caught, but luckily she was punched by the blind man who had been turned against her, becoming the second monster.
"Jump over behind the railing."
"Go to the right."
"Keep your head down and avoid being the first one."
"Jump."
Under Jiang Xiaowan's command, Qian Chang focused intently on leading the race, but as more and more monsters followed behind, his left shoulder was accidentally scratched by sharp claws.
Yao Shu, who was holding onto his left hem, loosened her grip and was grabbed by the leg by the blind man who fell from the wall.
