Chapter 168: Cloudy Day Twenty-Nine (Part II)
"Calm down! We must be calm! β
I inhaled the weird fragrance of the flowers, tried to calm my chaotic brain, held Shen Xue's hand and said, "Don't pinch me anymore, I can tell you very clearly that we are not dreaming." That's right! Let's check first. This afternoon, before it gets dark, did you notice anything unusual about the flower stand? β
Shen Xue shook her head vigorously, and then said in a dry voice, "Two hours ago, when we went out to look for Xiaolu, the laurel trees in the yard still looked like they were dying, absolutely no flowers, and there were not even a few leaves!" And there are no peonies and peonies at all on the flower table. β
I nervously said, "According to my observation, the flower suddenly appeared on its own, and the laurel tree not only grew flourishing leaves but also blossomed within two hours of our outing?" β
Shen Xue nodded reluctantly.
Stimulated by the unbelievable things in front of me, I almost thought I had gone crazy, and in order to determine if what I saw was a hallucination, I reached out and tore off a few leaves in the laurel tree.
The whole tree shook violently as if it had been blown by a strong wind, and I could even hear a hoarse moan.
An icy chill crept up on our backs, and Shen Xue and I were so frightened that we took a few steps back before we looked at each other in shock.
After hesitating for a while, I was just about to speak, when suddenly a piercing scream came from Xu Lu's room!
My brain went blank for a moment, and in that strange situation, even if I had an IQ as high as mine, I didn't react to the meaning of the scream for a while.
I was stunned for a while before I asked blankly, "That familiar voice just now, is Xiaolu screaming?" β
Shen Xue also had a dull face, "It sounds like it." β
"Isn't she not in the house? Damn it! β
I ran quickly towards her room, "I guess the little girl came back from sleepwalking." Emperor, don't have masochistic tendencies when she sleepwalks, I don't want to see her missing arms and legs! β
Luckily, what I was worried about didn't happen.
Xu Lu sat on the bed very healthily, looking straight at the opposite wall with her eyes, except that her body was a little dirty and her hair was a little scattered, she didn't lose anything.
It's just that her screams are a little too loud, and I am so shocked that I try to get closer to her, and my ears keep "buzzing".
"Koko!" She didn't seem to wake up yet, grabbed my hand violently, and shouted in panic, "Ko is in danger!" β
As I struggled to pull her broken arm out of her arms, I quipped, "Couldn't you have seen him while sleepwalking?" Do you remember to help me say hello to him. β
"Koko is in danger! I saw him, and I saw it clearly. Xiao Lu's eyes were grayish-white, and she was still muttering.
"Where did you see that?"
I had a big headache, alas, the sleepwalker's behavior is really unpredictable, like now, I can't tell whether Xu Lu is in a state of wakefulness, sleepwalking, or half-dreaming, so I have to follow her topic, which can be regarded as a kind of traction for sleepwalkers to return to reality.
Xiao Lu's face showed a slight hint of doubt, she seemed to be trying to think of something, and her tone became panicked again, "I saw him through a layer of transparent things, he was tied up, sitting with a familiar girl.
"The girl was dressed in red, and the room was red, all blood-red. Koko's wrist was bleeding constantly, and his blood was slowly flowing towards me, and then crawled up the transparent layer.
"I want to reach out and touch him, but there's always something in my way, I'm afraid! I'm so scared, Xiaoke is going to die! β
Xiao Lu cooperated with her words, slowly stretched her hand forward, and soon it seemed that she had really hit an obstacle, and even heard a "snap" sound in her ears.
A trace of cold crawled from the soles of our feet and penetrated into the bone marrow, and Shen Xue and I couldn't help but shiver.
"What do you think of her words?"
Xu Lu seemed to have used all the strength of her body, and fell asleep on the bed after saying those words. After settling her, I asked Shen Xue hesitantly.
Shen Xue's face was full of confusion, and she shook her head with a wry smile.
I walked to the window and looked at the hazy moonlight, my brain was working rapidly, and I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't grasp any important points.
"It's been an eventful night." I squeezed out a dry laugh in my throat, "Xu Lu sleepwalking, the peony and peony laurel trees in the yard are blooming indiscriminately, plus her dream words that seem to be true and false just now, saying, will something really happen to that kid?" β
"So let's break it down." Shen Xue frowned at my example, and said, "Xiao Ye, you should also know Xiao Lu's recent strange behavior, perhaps, what she said is true, it may not be true. β
"Impossible! The first question is, where did she know that? In general, it is impossible for a sleepwalker to remember what he saw and heard while sleepwalking, as well as all his actions. I sat on the edge of the bed and said nonchalantly.
"You also said in general, but Xiaolu's situation should not be classified as a normal state, her sleepwalking is very special, I don't know how to describe it, in short, I don't think it seems to be for human sake."
Shen Xue's brows furrowed even tighter, "It seems that something usurped her body while she was sleeping, and did something that we couldn't predict and that was extremely beneficial to that thing." β
After a pause, she said again, "Xiao Ye, when you came back from the Shen family's back house, didn't you mention that the mysterious power hidden in the Shen family may have deliberately let us go?"
"Maybe you should change that one to Xiaolu. Maybe it's trying to take advantage of Xiao Lu alone, so that she can lurk with us normally, and then when the time comes......"
She and I shuddered at the same time.
Looking at Shen Xue's confident gaze, I rarely felt admired. The woman is indeed an incomprehensible creature, not only cannot be guessed, but also cannot be underestimated, at least her brain does not rely on logic, but only uses sensitive and terrible intuition to think of many things that I have overlooked.
Maybe it's not that I'm ignoring it, it's just that things have happened so quickly that my brain can't keep up with the questions that come up with it, or maybe I'm paying too much attention to the logical plausibility, in short, I don't pay any attention to the problems around me. Even if you notice it by chance, you will throw it behind because of a new event.
I was awakened by Shen Xue's words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about it carefully, I shook my head again and said, "Take 10,000 steps back, it is dangerous to count Xiaoke, Xiaolu really saw it with her own eyes, so the question is back to the original point, how did she see it?" Where did you see it? β
Shen Xue bit her lip and thought hard.
I'm very irritable, I've rarely been so irritable in my heart, Shen Ke's guy didn't come back for a long time, he didn't say where he went, and he didn't leave a note when he left, such an abnormal behavior, I haven't noticed it all the time.
In fact, this is a dead end of thinking, I thought this was his hometown, how can it be regarded as his own territory, I and Xiaolu two outsiders are in danger and there is a problem, I didn't mention it, but I didn't expect him to encounter danger in his own home, what a god of decay!
I walked around the room in a fit of rage, hoping to speed up my blood circulation and allow my brain to think more effectively.
If you ignore the truth of Xu Lu's dream words and assume that they are true, then the question now is, where did Xu Lu see him? Who is the girl next to him? Moreover, who is going to tie up that idiot and want to kill him?
Girls, familiar girls...... It also means that that person has been seen by Xu Lu.
In the Shen family, Xu Lu has seen a lot of women, but when it comes to girls, there are not many girls, and that person has something to do with Shen Ke......
"I see!"
I raised my head sharply and said to Shen Xue, "The kidnapper of Xiaoke is his fiancΓ©e Shen Shuang's widow!" β
Shen Xue's face was full of surprise: "How is it possible?" β
"What's impossible." I snorted, "I haven't had any in-depth contact with her, but I'm very impressed with that girl's character."
"Under her gentle and beautiful appearance, there is a stubbornness that is terrible, don't you see that I want to hide from her when I meet her? I hate dealing with girls like her. And Xu Lu revealed in his words that Shen Ke was tied up, and there was a familiar girl sitting next to her, and when it came to the girl who was familiar to her, it was not her!
"In addition, Xiaolu only said that Shen Ke was tied up, and did not mention that the girl next to him was tied up, it is obvious that the girl next to him is a kidnapper."
"You're right." Shen Xue muttered, "Then why did the frost widow kidnap Xiaoke? β
"With that wood's character, he must have forgotten the promises he made before, and Shen Shuang's widow may want to kill him to vent his anger." I sneered, "Maybe you may want to find him martyrdom, in short, women are stubborn and do all kinds of terrible things." β
Shen Xue's face suddenly turned pale, "Emperor, that Xiaoke is really in danger!" What to do? Xiaoye, let's go and save him! As he spoke, he ran out of the house.
I grabbed her, pressed her against the chair, and shouted, "Calm down!" Do you know where he and Shen Shuang's widow are? β
"Xiaoke, I said you were dull earlier, but you didn't believe it! It's good now, Uncle will definitely be to death. Shen Xue lowered her eyes gloomily, grabbed my coat and cried softly.
Alas, women...... Although it is said that 75% of the human body is water, I can't stand such a toss, I can't cry at every turn, but when I hear the cry, my whole body will be numb, my brain will be confused, damn it! Where is that guy Shen Ke?
Suddenly I thought of something, and my whole body trembled, and my heart beat uncontrollably and violently, and my thoughts began to fluctuate violently because of that terrible thought.
My throat was dry, and I asked slowly with difficulty, "Xiaoxue, do you remember when Xu Lu started sleepwalking?" β
"Counting, it should be the day before we go to the Shen family's back house." The tearful man looked up at me in confusion and replied.
"Not bad." I stared straight out the window, trying to suppress the fear in my heart" This also means that Xu Lu's sleepwalking is not directly related to the Shen family's back house, she may have been influenced by something that was placed in the room before. β
"Something?" Shen Xue stopped crying and asked, "What is it?" β
"Mirror, that screen mirror!"
"What!" Her eyes widened, "I know there's something weird about that thing, but how can it be ......?"
"There is nothing impossible in the world." I swallowed hard and said word by word, "Do you remember what Xu Lu just described? She said that there was a transparent barrier between her and Shen Ke, perhaps, it was a mirror. β
"You mean, she...... She ......" Shen Xue looked at me with fear on her face, her voice trembling constantly.
"Not bad!" I nodded slowly at her, "Xu Lu, I saw Shen Ke's situation from the mirror, he and Shen Shuang's widow are in Shen Mei's former mansion!" β
