Chapter 52: The Secret of Linhu Village 23
The man smiled at Su Qingyun with his lips pursed, and his mischievous eyes were full of love.
Su Qingyun felt warm again, as if she was wrapped in sunshine.
She took a step back.
The man got off the boat, and walked towards Su Qingyun with tenderness on the water.
Su Qingyun took two steps back and turned around to look for Xu Xinghe, but there was no sign of him around.
"Where did this person go?" Su Qingyun muttered in his heart, but did not say anything.
She returned her attention to the man walking towards her.
The man is really good-looking. It can be said that his every eyebrow, every frown and every smile are in line with Su Qingyun's aesthetic taste.
Su Qingyun's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by him.
The man went ashore and walked to Su Qingyun on the fallen leaves.
He asked her the same old question again, "What's your name?"
Su Qingyun did not answer him.
If he moved forward again, Su Qingyun would press the black stick against his chest.
"What's your name?" she asked her back.
The man's smile was extremely charming, without a trace of coquettishness but extremely sexy.
He replied, "I'll call me whatever you want."
"Ye Jian?"
"Can."
"Xu Xinghe?"
"Not bad."
"Mouthtail?"
The man shook his head. "I don't like this."
Su Qingyun seemed to know what he was.
She asked him again, "Why are you here?"
"Of course it's because of you."
Su Qingyun tapped the man's chest with her black cane. A smile played on her lips as she said in a haughty tone, "Since you've come for me, can you tell me how to get through this level?"
"Of course." The man moved the black stick away with his fingers and walked closer to Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun smelled the scent of peaches on him again.
The man held Su Qingyun's face in his hands. He leaned over and made a request to Su Qingyun, "But you have to kiss me."
The smile on Su Qingyun's face grew wider. She squinted her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, then raised her cane and hit the man.
The man disappeared as if he had never been there.
"Su Qingyun." Xu Xinghe stood in front of her, holding her black stick in one hand.
"Who are you?" Su Qingyun asked him.
Xu Xinghe frowned slightly, "I'm Xu Xinghe, why did you come here alone?"
The question mark stayed in Su Qingyun's mind for a moment, and when she saw Xu Xinghe still wearing the gray windbreaker, she seemed to understand.
The Xu Xinghe who knocked on her door before was weird.
No wonder the bell here rings ten minutes earlier. It turns out that the strange time here is different from the strange time in the dungeon.
It's ten minutes early here.
Su Qingyun secretly blamed herself for not noticing this.
No, she actually noticed it, but she just focused on Xu Xinghe's walking posture.
but……
Su Qingyun looked at Xu Xinghe again and asked him, "Are you sure you are Xu Xinghe?"
Xu Xinghe raised the hand with the ring in front of Su Qingyun, and the strong magnetic field made Su Qingyun subconsciously step back.
"Just now, a strange illusion also transformed into you." Xu Xinghe said, "But I accidentally broke it in just a second."
"How did you break it by mistake?"
"She calls me Xinghe."
Su Qingyun, "..." Weird, you don't think they are lovers, that's ridiculous.
However, the weird person who transformed into Xu Xinghe acted very similarly, and he was even afraid that Su Qingyun would get excited and break the rules.
"He's probably not afraid that you'll break the rules," Xu Xinghe analyzed after listening to Su Qingyun's narration. "He's probably afraid that you'll see through the temple keeper's strangeness."
"But why are they doing this?" Su Qingyun took two steps towards the water.
The water birds disappeared, and so did the boat.
Su Qingyun wondered why Guiyi told her about the magpie, a creature that only existed in ancient books.
Su Qingyun suddenly had an idea. She took out the You County Chronicles from her bag and turned to the chapter introducing local species.
Sure enough, she saw the introduction of a bird called the 鳪, but the county annals did not say that this bird was called the 鳪, but gave it another name.
Grebe.
Because it was in traditional Chinese, and Su Qingyun didn't recognize these two words, she simply ignored them when she saw it.
"The county annals record that this bird specializes in eating that strange fish. No wonder it feeds at night, because strange fish also come out to feed at night." Su Qingyun closed the county annals and put it back in his bag.
She sighed at the water, "It's a pity I still don't know the secret of the lake monster. It seems we still have to search for it."
"We have four more days."
"There's more than enough time." Su Qingyun took one last look at the water, turned around and walked towards the small door.
The next morning, the bell rang as promised.
After Su Qingyun delivered the bowls and chopsticks to the dining hall, she said goodbye to the monks in the temple.
"Would you two innkeepers like to have some vegetarian food?"
"No, it's more important to hurry."
Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe left the temple. When they looked back, the bell tower had already taken shape in the morning light.
"Are you worried about the woman trapped under the bell tower?" Xu Xinghe asked.
Su Qingyun shook her head. The plots in the copy were all triggered, and it was not the real world. She looked back and wondered why the woman called Xu Xinghe her lover.
"Do you know that woman?" Su Qingyun asked.
This time it was Xu Xinghe's turn to shake his head, "How can I know the people in the dungeon?"
"Then why do you ask if she is a forest fairy?"
"Just to confirm, but I already know she is the Forest Fairy."
"How do you know?"
"Because she looks exactly like the old woman in the bamboo forest."
"Is it similar?" Su Qingyun recalled carefully, but she couldn't remember anything except the terrifying appearance of the woman under the bell tower.
Xu Xinghe smiled and said, "Maybe you haven't had close contact with the old woman, but I'm very good at judging people. A person's appearance may age, but their bones will not change. The old woman and the woman under the bell tower are the same person."
"Are you sure they are Forest Fairies because the sign in the bamboo forest says 'Forest Fairies'?"
"No, I did it because of the records in the county annals."
After Xu Xinghe finished speaking, he started walking forward.
Su Qingyun hurriedly looked through the county annals, which contained a few descriptions of Lin Zhongxian's appearance, but they were all written in classical Chinese.
Su Qingyun's understanding of these classical Chinese sentences at that time was that the fairy in the forest was very beautiful, with a beauty that could topple a country.
Now when I read it again, I found that there is a sentence saying that the fairy in the forest has a mole on her right ear, which is as red as fire.
After reading it, Su Qingyun had to admire Xu Xinghe. A corporate executive is an executive, knowledgeable, and he can understand what the classical Chinese text says just by reading it once.
Unlike her, I can remember things, but my knowledge is limited and I don’t understand them.
Su Qingyun caught up with Xu Xinghe and asked him, "Since you knew that the person under the bell tower was Lin Zhongxian, why did you leave?"
"My mission isn't to find the Forest Fairy. Besides, I probably already know what the Forest Fairy's secret is."
"Oh, congratulations."
Xu Xinghe raised his eyebrows. "Don't you also know the secret of the lake monster?"
Su Qingyun, "..." He can also read minds.
