Chapter 169 Rainy Night
"You can't be too reckless, and you can't trust people easily." Jiang Xi kept murmuring repeatedly in a voice that only she could hear.
This is a warning and a warning.
The brain, immersed in excitement, became much more awake after being poured by a basin of cold water. When thinking about problems, it became easier and more active.
She was really thinking too naively and too simple just now.
The Jiang tribe who can go through difficult years, bathed in blood and war, and walked all the way from the difficulties of thorns, has never been a Jiang tribe who is only simple and kind. They have natural blood advantages, which not only allows them to have the power that is different from ordinary people, but also surpass ordinary people in various aspects, allowing them to have both the meticulousness of a strategist, the physique of a general, and the unique sensitivity, which is truly the favor of heaven.
Faced with such a familiar but unfamiliar Jiang clan, why dare Jiang Xi say that everything is foolproof?
Moreover, Jiang Xi could not easily draw a conclusion until he was unclear whether the Jiang clan was kind or malicious to her.
Yes, she could believe Ah Fu without reservation, and so is it now.
However, Afu is not the same as the Dayun Jiang clan.
If the Dayun Jiang tribe was kind to her, why would he peek and observe in the darkness without showing up?
If the Dayun Jiang tribe is evil to her, why not attack her who has no power to resist?
It's good, why did a black-clad killer who destroyed the witch seal assassinate her?
It's evil, why did he send a loyal Afu to her side?
The various contradictory and unexplainable behaviors made Jiang Xi involuntarily become vigilant. The previous thoughts of talking to Ah Fu and proactively identifying his identity disappeared.
What she needs now is more accurate truth.
...
The flowing light passes like water.
Jiang Xi finished his long leave and resumed his daily routine of going to Yushan to attend classes.
In addition to listening carefully to the teacher's teachings, in his spare time, he would occasionally copy books, read books, practice calligraphy, or gather with Sheng Mingyang and others... A peaceful life is like a cloud in the sky, with no big changes.
I don’t know if even God can’t stand this dullness.
The sky was clear for more than half a month. When it was almost evening, a large lead-gray dark clouds floated from the east, thick as a bunch of squids. In a blink of an eye, the clear sky was filled with twilight, covering up the twilight, and the rainy night came directly.
At first it was a light rain, and slowly the rain became heavier. In the middle of the night, accompanied by thunder and lightning, the light rain turned into heavy rain and finally turned into heavy rain, slapped the leaves of the forest and ruthlessly washed away the delicate branches.
People in Zhangzhou were all scared by the heavy rainstorm some time ago. Originally, a rainstorm that was nothing special except for the massive momentum made the entire Zhangzhou feel restless. Many people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night, fearing that when they closed their eyes and opened them again, their house would be flooded in the water.
The place where Yushan is located is not only high enough, but also has excellent Feng Shui.
Some time ago, the Zhangzhou floods were flooded, the Huafang Mountain mudslides were damaged, and many places in the south of the Yangtze River were damaged. In addition to being washed inside and outside by heavy rains for several days, the calm inside seemed to be isolated from other worlds.
Therefore, when you are in Yushan, you should not be disturbed by uneasy emotions.
But Ah Fu just felt a very strong anxiety.
She is simple by nature, and simple people are often more sensitive to crises.
When it started to rain almost dusk today, Ah Fu had a terrified premonition, as if there was some danger approaching step by step, making her unable to sit still while eating.
When the sky became dark and the rain was getting heavier, she started running to Jiang Xi's study. She first sent tea fruits, then helped to light incense, and then asked Jiang Xi if she wanted to have a midnight snack. She ran back and forth six or seven times, and was so busy that even Jiang Xi couldn't help asking her if she was feeling uncomfortable. Ah Fu could only shake her head at this, and she couldn't say that she didn't feel good.
When it was getting late, Jiang Xi was about to turn off the lights and go to bed. Ah Fu, who served Jiang Xi, was slow to go out in the room and refused to go out. He was wandering around the room for several times. Seeing that Jiang Xi started yawning, he had no intention of going out.
"Afu, are you planning to stay and sleep with me?" Jiang Xi teased her with a smile.
"No." Ah Fu shook his head in a depressed manner and suddenly asked again, "Madam, why don't Ah Fu carry the quilt and sleep on the ground next to you?"
Jiang Xi refused directly: "I don't sleep well on the bed, why do you have to sleep on the floor? Go back to the room quickly, I'm going to be sleepy if you don't sleep."
Ah Fu walked out hesitantly, and he wanted to turn around and say something to Jiang Xi several times, but he opened his mouth and didn't know where to start.
When she was about to step out of the threshold, Jiang Xi finally called her:
"Afu, don't worry, the heavy rain won't wash out our small yard, we are very safe! And I won't go out, I will stay in the room and sleep peacefully all night, waiting for the meal you cook tomorrow morning, okay?"
Jiang Xi felt that it was the last time the Huafang Mountain mudslide, and her disappearance brought a little psychological shadow to Ah Fu. So after the rainy night came again, the shadow made a comeback with irritability.
When Jiang Xi explained this, Afu also felt that it made sense.
She thought she was really thinking too much, so she turned around and went back to the room.
Although she didn't sleep very well, after midnight, she fell asleep in a daze.
A thunder thunder thunder broke through the sky!
In the room illuminated by the bright lightning, Afu suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight from the bed, lifted the quilt and ran out, not even caring about wearing shoes, and rushed towards Jiang Xi's room with disheveled hair!
"Madam! Madam!"
Afu shouted Jiang Xi in panic, but received no answer.
She hoped that Jiang Xi was just sleeping too heavily, but when she knocked open Jiang Xi's room and saw a scene in front of her, her face was pale and almost fainted!
Blood!
So much blood!
Blood everywhere!
——It seemed that I had experienced a fight in the room. Many things were hit to the ground like fallen leaves by the autumn wind. There were also red blood-like things on the walls. Several blood stains were scattered on the ground, and they were very fresh, as if there was still temperature left.
The windows in the room were wide open, and half of the window was directly smashed. The cool breeze on the rainy night made the broken windows sound, and a bang seemed to hit Afu's head.
She supported her dizzy head and walked forward a few steps, approaching the bed, holding the slightest hope and seeing... Jiang Xi is not here!
The empty bed was left with only a messy quilt, which was just dried by Afu a few days ago. It should have been full of sunshine and soft. Now it is wrinkled like a pickled pickle, and you can vaguely see the remaining blood and the big hole pierced by a sword.
After confirming the scene, Ah Fu was no longer lucky and sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"Madam! Madam! Jiulang!"
She was so confused that she was incoherent that she called her wife and Jiulang. Her concern for the comfort of Jiang Xi's disappearance had suppressed her reason. Ah Fu had no idea what else she could do except crying.
Fortunately, her crying played a lasting role, waking up Ji Xing, who was already asleep.
He came in his coat and held a sword, and was about to ask what happened to Afu, then he saw the bloody and messy in Jiang Xi's room, his body shook violently, and he subconsciously held his breath.
"Where is Jiulang?" he asked Ah Fu.
Ah Fu cried so hard that he raised his swollen eyes like walnuts: "Ah? I don't know... I don't know what to do! What to do with Jiulang! Jiulang is gone!"
Ji Xing held the scabbard tightly and rushed in for a while. He couldn't find Jiang Xi's figure, and his heart sank.
"Oops."
His humble drink attracted Afu's attention, and Afu looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"What, what's wrong?"
"It should be someone who wants to kill Jiulang." Ji Xing recalled the last time he visited Ah Qi on Huafangshan, word by word, "...Those people obviously came for Jiulang, and they also specifically asked Jiulang if his surname was Jiang."
Ah Fu was so scared that he burped: "Wait... Ji Xing, do you know who those people are?"
Ji Xing shook his head and said he didn't know.
"However, Kyuro said that those people have burned marks on their bodies, like a special mark."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Fu's heart suddenly lifted up and clenched - the burning traces on her body... Why did she think of some people? Could it be those people?
When he thought that speculation might become true, the huge fear was like a shadow covering Afu tightly, without even a gap to breathe.
While she was thinking hard about what to do, Ji Xing, who had searched the entire courtyard, said that she could no longer sit still and wait for death.
"Kyuro should be alive. These blood stains are relatively fresh. They may not have taken her too far. If I chase her, maybe I will find someone."
Ji Xing was about to come out of the window when he raised his sword, but Afu grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"What should I do?" She whimpered, looking at a loss.
Ji Xing thought for a while: "Go and find someone to help!"
After saying that, he didn't give Ah Fu a chance to keep him, and he jumped away quickly.
Looking for someone to help?
A flash of lightning broke through the chaotic thoughts, and Ah Fu's eyes were cold.
"Yes, go find someone to help, find someone to help... the elder said... find someone... find someone..."
She muttered in confusion about what she could not understand, put on her clothes and shoes in a daze, held the big black umbrella in the corner of the wall, and ran up the Yushan Mountain Road.
She kept looking for someone repeatedly, but her brain was blank, and she was running forward quickly with her physical instinct.
It was dark on the rainy night, and Ah Fu ran all the way, but he accurately found the right direction and came to a small courtyard in Yushan that was built in a quiet and remote place.
And this place is known to the entire Yushan-
