Chapter 95: Forbidden Love 16
While Su Qingyun was talking to Ye Jian on the phone, Xu Xinghe stood silently beside them.
After Su Qingyun threw the phone into her bag, he asked, "Did you find the character's phone?"
"Yes, this is very useful. I can learn a lot of unknown situations."
"However," Su Qingyun said, "I haven't studied this phone carefully yet."
At least she didn't look at the chat records in WeChat one by one.
Xu Xinghe stopped asking questions. He took out a high-intensity flashlight from the space, turned it on, and shone it around.
Su Qingyun raised her wrist to check the time. It was twenty past nine, and there were still forty minutes until ten o'clock.
"Uncle Guo said there is a hot spring behind the house. Could the river in front of the house be formed by the confluence of hot spring water?" Su Qingyun analyzed.
"It's very likely." Xu Xinghe walked forward.
The old house faces the street, and the so-called front should be the opposite side of the street. When the two people walked to the opposite side of the street, they did not see a river, but an alley.
The alley is a bit abrupt because there are no houses around it, as if it was built just for the sake of having an alley.
Su Qingyun attributed this phenomenon to the author of the book "Gorgeous and Delicious".
Aren’t those inexplicable Gothic-style buildings in the original Qinggang Town the result of the author’s magical workmanship?
The two men walked forward about ten meters, and the layout of the alley did not change at all.
Su Qingyun was reluctant to move forward. She asked Xu Xinghe, "Is this a dead end?"
"Let's walk around a bit more."
The two walked forward another ten meters or so, and the alley changed. Graffiti began to appear on the walls.
Su Qingyun stopped and took a look. The graffiti was very childish. It felt like a seven or eight-year-old child had drawn it casually with a watercolor pen. There was no method or art at all.
But Su Qingyun saw a name among these messy lines.
"Zhang Xiaolin?" Su Qingyun said the name.
Just as Su Qingyun said the name, a cat's meow suddenly came from the alley. Xu Xinghe shone his flashlight and saw a dark shadow flash by in the distance.
That black shadow was not a cat, but a human figure, which only flashed by.
Then, the two heard the sound of running water.
"We're at the river." Su Qingyun said to Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe didn't say anything, he approached the river carefully.
Su Qingyun followed closely behind, walked forward about ten steps, and finally got out of the alley. Then Su Qingyun saw a pair of stairs leading down, and at the same time she saw two houses on both sides of the stairs.
Strange alleys, strange houses.
When Su Qingyun arrived at the old house before, she looked around and found that there was no one living near the old house.
How come two houses appeared from the alley that suddenly appeared.
"Maybe the author forgot about it while writing and added it temporarily?" Su Qingyun teased.
Xu Xinghe shone his flashlight on the two houses and confirmed Su Qingyun's statement, "It's very likely."
But he also has his own ideas, "It could also be that the copies are superimposed and the scenes are overlapping."
He asked Su Qingyun, "Did the book rewarded from the last dungeon include the Zhu family's old house?"
Su Qingyun shook her head.
"That's right, the Zhu family's old house should be the scene of another copy."
"So..." Su Qingyun also shone the flashlight on the house in front of her and said, "Are we in the horror copy now?"
She quickly took two steps back, and Huang Xiaoya floated to her side to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Master, Ye Yi is behind."
Su Qingyun finally felt relieved. She reminded Xu Xinghe, "Be careful."
His shadowless man is not around.
Xu Xinghe just nodded, then jumped onto the stone steps and pushed open the door of the house on the left.
Squeak~
An old, outdated sound.
With the sound of the door being pushed open, the cat on the beam began to meow again.
"Xu Xinghe, your task is to listen to the voice of the person who fell into the water." Su Qingyun reminded them again that exploring an abandoned house would do them no good and would only be a waste of time.
Xu Xinghe seemed to have followed the advice. Instead of going in further, he raised his flashlight, shone it around, and then walked out.
He said there was a piece of red paper pasted on the beam with the words "Jing Zhuo" written on it.
"It should be the handwriting of the son of this family." Su Qingyun had also seen something like this in a copy.
Someone who knew something told her that in some places in the south, when boys get married, they will ask a fortune teller to choose a name for them, and then write it on red paper and post it on the beam of the house.
A name is a name, first there is a given name and then a courtesy name, Jing Zhuo should be the courtesy name this family gave to their son.
"Why choose such a concave word?" Xu Xinghe said casually.
Su Qingyun thought that Ye Jian’s contracted god was still calling the Sutra, which was even more profound.
I don't know if these two people, Jing Zhuo and Jing Juan, are related.
The two men went down the stairs and reached the riverbank in just a few steps.
Su Qingyun looked at the ten-meter-wide river, then squatted down and touched the water.
The river water was very cold and so wide that Su Qingyun thought it was probably not the result of hot spring water.
But... "How to summon the person who fell into the water?" Su Qingyun looked at Xu Xinghe. She wanted to know what method Xu Xinghe had.
"Wait until after ten o'clock and see."
Yes, after ten o'clock it is a weird world, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters will appear.
Then let's wait.
Su Qingyun rolled up her skirt, squatted down, and then looked at the river with her hands on her cheeks.
Time passed by little by little, and when Su Qingyun was about to fall asleep, there was finally movement on the river surface.
"A boat is coming." The speaker was Ye Yi. He had already sat on a willow tree by the riverbank without him noticing.
Su Qingyun was already a little dazed. After hearing what Ye Yi said, she quickly stood up. Maybe because her legs were a little numb from squatting for a long time, she began to stagger halfway and fell into the river.
Xu Xinghe was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he grabbed her waist.
"Are you okay?" he asked with concern.
"It's okay." Su Qingyun helped Xu Xinghe steady himself and looked towards the center of the river.
Under the moonlight, a boat actually sailed across the river.
This is a small fishing boat with a black hull. There is a person standing on the bow. She is wearing a red dress and a red veil, like a bride getting married.
Su Qingyun raised her wrist to check the time; it was exactly ten o'clock.
"Is she the drowning person you are looking for?" Su Qingyun asked Xu Xinghe in a low voice.
Xu Xinghe still had his arm around Su Qingyun's waist. He didn't say anything but looked at the woman in red with a serious expression.
The boat was getting closer and closer. When the straight-line distance between it and Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe was less than two meters, Ye Yi came down from the tree and stood in front of Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun quickly pulled Xu Xinghe back, but she didn't pull him.
Xu Xinghe stood on the river bank with his hands on his waist.
The wind blew, the river water swayed, and his feet were wet.
"Cousin?" Su Qingyun exerted a little more strength in her hands, but Xu Xinghe remained motionless.
"Master, let's go." Ye Yi grabbed Su Qingyun's wrist, separated her and Xu Xinghe without saying a word, and then pulled her to the willow tree.
The fishing boat docked, and the bride in red was only half a meter away from Xu Xinghe.
The wind started to blow again, blowing away the veil on the bride's head in red.
Su Qingyun was surprised to see a face exactly like hers under the veil.
