Chapter 66: The Darkness of the Desert Island (1)

The sunset is everywhere, and the river is covered with golden light. Half of the island in the distance is hidden in the darkness, and half is exposed in the sunset, vague and can't see clearly.

Zhan Li glanced at the island that was approaching, his face became solemn. He pulled the canvas and turned his direction, and took the direction toward the island.

When Zhu Qingsheng saw that his destination had arrived, he quickly woke up Mei Shi Shi, and then took the river water to wash the cold water's face, making himself more awake.

At this time, there was still a bit of setting sun. It was getting closer and closer to the island. You could already see the scene on the island clearly. The middle of the island was towering and surrounded by dark trees. Looking around, there was no light at all, it was so dark that it looked like a deserted island.

Zhan Li's face was indescribably solemn and nervous, and he said slowly: "Two little brothers, be careful. There may be some strange things on this island. Don't relax, we can't get away."

At this time, Mei Shinan had already woken up and looked at the island and said, "It's nothing to see. It's either wood or wood, nothing strange."

Zhan Li said: "I hope there is nothing, but I came last time..." When he said this, he suddenly sighed and didn't say anything.

Seeing his frown, Zhu Qingsheng seemed a little uneasy, and said, "What happened last time? Brother Zhan might as well talk about it."

Zhan Li thought for a while and whispered, "Since we are all going to the island, I can't hide this matter anymore. This island is actually my second time. The last time I came here was five days ago. The time was similar to here, but the sky was darker. At that time, I came from the east of the island and saw a big ship parked on the shore, shaking and not having a light. I was curious to look at it." Speaking of this, Zhan Li stopped and seemed to hesitate. He thought for a long time before continuing, "Then I found the bodies of the three eunuchs."

"What?" Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan were both shocked and said at the same time: "You discovered the bodies of the three eunuchs?"

Zhan Li nodded and continued, "At that time, I was carrying a lantern and suddenly saw three eunuchs dying on the shore. The nearest one was only two meters away from the boat. They all leaned down in the direction of the boat, with their hands and feet spreading, and their faces were deep in the sand. It seemed that they wanted to escape back to the boat during their lifetime. For some reason, they all died here before they even ran to the boat."

Mei Shinan said wonder: "Aren't the corpses of the three Yin people found by the river? How could it be here?"

Zhan Li smiled bitterly and said, "I threw it over. I couldn't think of how to deal with the bodies of the three eunuchs. I threw it on the riverside. At the same time, I also hoped that someone would find it and report it to the official. We continued, that was to see the three eunuchs. Oh no, I didn't know that they were three eunuchs at that time. At that time, they were all wearing wealthy businessmen's clothes. I couldn't recognize them all at once. The three people died on the shore, and the leader grabbed a cowhide bag and looked like they were about to climb onto the boat, but I didn't know why they died on the shore."

"At that time, I jumped out of the boat and checked the cause of the deaths of the three people. After tossing and turning, I couldn't find any fatal wounds or signs of poisoning. I could say that I was strangled and suffocated to death by someone's neck. I couldn't find any trace of being strangled. If I were drowned, there would be no vision in my lungs."

Zhu Qingsheng remembered the three eunuchs and was confused about the cause of their deaths, which was similar to those cases in Jiujiang City.

Zhan Li continued, "At that time, I was searching for their bodies on the shore, hoping to find some clues. At that time, it was getting darker and darker. I was holding a torch to check their bodies. Suddenly, I felt a cold wind blowing from my neck to my waist. It was chilly. I felt something was wrong. At this time, the wind was blowing in the southeast wind, and there was no northwest wind. I immediately turned around and there was nothing."

Mei Shi said: "What's the matter? When I go to bed at night, I feel the wind everywhere. I lean against the wall and fool you, but you won't be able to pass."

Zhan Li smiled bitterly and said, "That's the place where you live is too... too exposed. The yin wind blows only towards your neck, which is different. I think this place is wrong, so I threw the bodies of the three eunuchs onto the boat and wanted to take them back to take them back to see them. Just as I packed up and turned around..." Zhan Li said this, his face suddenly became nervous and he felt a little panic.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhu Qingsheng slowly said, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Li held each other tightly, gritted his teeth and thought for a long time before saying, "I hope I saw it wrong. Just as I turned around, a red figure flashed by three feet away, and it disappeared in an instant."

Speaking of this, Zhu Qingsheng understood what the red figure he was talking about meant. What else can be found besides the ghost figure?

Mei Shi was puzzled and said, "What's the matter? I'm so hungry. I often see fat chicken and broth. I guess something is flying over."

Zhan Li smiled bitterly, without answering, and thought to himself: "You little brother have never experienced it. What else can it be except for the ghost that flashed by and with a yin energy? I also hope I have read it wrong."

Zhu Qingsheng thought of the ghost, and subconsciously pulled out the Kui Yang parasol. Seeing that the Kui Yang parasol was still so conspicuous, as if he had understood something, he said tentatively: "Brother Zhan, now we are at this point, we can't hide it from each other."

Zhan Li nodded and said, "This is natural, what's wrong?"

Zhu Qingsheng shook Kui's parasol and said, "Brother Zhan, did you actually plan on us from the beginning? I felt that there was something unclean here, so I went around and asked us to follow you. In fact, what you value the most is this umbrella."

Zhan Li was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Zhu, I can't hide it from you, but you are not right about this matter. I don't know what this umbrella is, but you, I really value it."

Zhu Qingsheng was puzzled and said, "Me? What's wrong with me?"

Zhan Li said: "Last night, I was in the county magistrate's mansion. I heard the conversation between you and the county magistrate. I knew you were from Maoshan faction. I thought that Maoshan faction has always been famous for subduing ghosts and suppressing evil spirits. If I could ask you to help, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort? Later, when I saw you run away, I saw a team of constables chasing you. I wanted to help you once, but I secretly knocked them all out."

Speaking of this, Zhu Qingsheng suddenly realized that last night no wonder the constable came to capture them. It turned out that he was knocked out by Zhan Li. Thinking that he could not escape with Mei Shi. If he was caught by those constables, the fate would definitely not be much better. Zhu Qingsheng couldn't help but bow deeply and said, "Thank you so much for your help, you can't repay me."

While the three of them were talking, the boat had already reached the shore of this island. It was completely dark. The three of them looked at the island, so lonely and desolate.
