Chapter 14 Guess the Pros and Cons(2/2)
She was woken up by the noise outside. It seemed that someone was pushing the door, but it didn't open it. Then there was a series of footsteps outside the door.
"Dad, is it you?"
Thumb tumb...
No one responded, and the footsteps were still ringing.
"Dad, is it you?"
The girl shouted again.
She hurriedly got out of bed and lit the candlelight, and saw a black shadow flashing past the window.
She walked over carefully, and just as she was about to open the window and take a look, she suddenly felt numb behind her back.
She was like a frightened little rabbit, jumping up in fear.
She hurriedly put down the candlelight and got into the quilt, shrinking into a ball, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Dad! Dad!"
She shouted a few times, but no one agreed.
Hi, giggle...
This is the sound of bone friction.
Something seemed to have come out under the bed.
It was rustling, as if it was lifting the quilt.
She plucked up her courage and secretly exposed her eyes.
In the dark candlelight, the room was extremely quiet, with only the shadows shaking the tables and chairs under the lights.
Hi, giggle...
It's this voice again.
She just felt a chill on the back of her neck.
A hand passed through her hair and stretched over from behind her head.
"Liang'er, it's me, I'm my mother."
The girl looked frightened, wanting to scream but unable to scream.
"Mom, I died three years ago..."
call.
The candle fire went out and the room was pitch black.
Tatta...
In the darkness, the sound of footsteps continued.
…………
Three days in a row.
These days, Lian Ying has been immersed in reading and practicing.
He used 300 experience values to perfect the method.
"Floating on the Water", low-level body movements, a total of two levels.
It’s all a little bit about flying over the eaves and walls. It’s mainly because you can walk on the water after practicing.
For this reason, he went out to try it out. Although he couldn't stand directly on the water, he could easily step on the water surface, which was more than ten meters wide.
With this body technique, his movements are much faster. If he encounters ghosts in the future, if he cannot defeat them, he may still be able to escape.
After he came back, he spent another 1,500 to read the third level of "Immortal Golden Body" and was also full of practice.
Now there are still six hundred training points left, so he decided to keep them first.
In the evening that day, he left Lianfu and headed west towards the city.
Just now, the fifth sister found him and said that she had a classmate and friend who had not been to the academy for several days. She wanted to see if something was wrong.
Now that the city is not peaceful, it is almost evening. Naturally, Lian Ying will not let her fifth sister go out, especially to the west of the city.
Anyway, he is fine now, so he will go and help the fifth sister take a look.
Her friend is called Lian'er, just like Wu Mei, she is only thirteen years old.
Spring City has returned to its former prosperity. Even if night is approaching, the streets are still crowded with people and hawking sounds.
Lian Ying did not take a carriage, but was preparing to walk over on foot.
When I passed a tea stall, I heard someone say it.
"Did you hear that something happened again in the west of the city a few days ago!"
"It seems that someone has disappeared again. The shop of Lao Li's family has not opened for several days!"
"I have heard of this, it's very evil!"
"Since the entire street of Fireworks Street was burned that time, it was very strange. Who would dare to go there in the west of the city?"
At this time, a long sword was placed on the table.
The few people looked up and stood up in frightened eyes.
"Young Master Lian, we are just talking about it. You are..." Several people were sweating coldly on their foreheads.
Lian Ying sat down on her own, "It's okay, you guys continue to talk, I'm just listening to it."
"This..." How dare the few people say that.
"Say." Lian Ying threw a few taels of silver on the table.
Several people were jealous of money.
"Then we really said that?"
Seeing Lian Ying nodding, the few people told me what they knew.
One person added: "I heard that on that night, Lao Li went to the gambling house with Chen Tong, but only Chen Tong went home."
"That night, someone saw Chen Tong holding a cloth bag in his arms when he went back, and grinning on his face, as happy as if he had found the money."
"What about Chen Tong later?" Lian Ying asked.
"I don't know, Chen Tong hasn't seen him for several days."
"Although Chen Tong is good at gambling, he is considered to be a bit of a family background. He even sent his daughter to Chuncheng Academy to study."
"But it's strange, Chen Tong's family seems to have never shown up in the past few days..."
Speaking of this, these people were inexplicably worried.
"What's his daughter's name?"
"It seems that it's called Chen Lian'er..."
"Which casino do they often go to?"
"It seems to be called Shuntong."
"Well, don't talk about this anymore. If you let others know..." Lian Ying nodded and put her hand on the sword.
"I understand, understand... Don't worry, Young Master Lian." The few people were so scared that their necks chilled and nodded repeatedly.
…………
After leaving the tea stall, Lian Ying followed the address given by her fifth sister and came outside Lian'er's house.
It was already night and candles were lit around.
Perhaps it is because another strange thing happened recently, the closer you get to the west of the city, the fewer people are.
When I got here, I could no longer see a single figure.
Judging from the information obtained from those people, I am afraid that Chen Tong's family will have a lot of luck.
But Lian Ying really couldn't understand that such a thing happened in the west of the city, but the Demon Suppression Department was in the west of the city, and they didn't notice it at all?
Could this Demon Suppressing Sect be really funny?
Lian Ying knocked on the door.
"In Xia Lianying, who was entrusted by her sister, came to visit her classmate Chen Lian'er. Is there anyone in the family?"
Lian Ying said politely outside the house.
No one responded.
Lian Ying took a few steps back, just as he was about to jump into the next courtyard wall.
