Chapter 274 Error
Three drums sounded soon, and along with the drums came a burst of babbling singing.
The fog surged on the lake, and a red figure appeared from the lake, as if standing in the clouds.
She has a graceful figure and a slim waist. She wears a phoenix crown on her head and a red cloud on her shoulders.
Several red lanterns floated to the left and right, reflecting the surrounding lake water brightly.
Like a pair of staring red eyes.
The sound of the opera singers was erratic, and with the strange movements of the opera singers, it gave people a gloomy and miserable feeling.
Master Huang is indeed a ghost.
Qin Jian, wearing a paper head, could not help but tremble in his calves.
He was one of the first group to carry the sedan chair. As he shook, the entire sedan chair began to shake.
Tang Shirou, who was sitting in the sedan, folded her hands together and clutched the hem of her clothes, her face drained of color.
At first glance, it looks like a ghost.
But fortunately, the curtains around the sedan were lowered. She could only hear the sound, but could not see what was happening on the lake.
No one dared to make a sound.
A short time after the three drums sounded, Qin Jian, Anxuan, Chen Qiang, and Youqi, the four people carrying the sedan worked together to lift the sedan up, and then ran towards the designated location.
It was an old stage made of wood.
Right by the lake, built along the water.
However, it has obviously been abandoned for a long time. The surrounding area is covered with reeds half a man tall and various aquatic plants. During the day, they looked across the lake from a distance and found nothing.
Now the stage is also eroded by the fog, and it is surrounded by shadows. I don’t know what is hidden.
The people carrying the sedan stepped on the wooden stage. The wood under their feet was obviously rotten, and harsh "crunching" sounds sounded from time to time, as if they were about to break through the wooden boards and fall into the water at any time.
Following the path that had been rehearsed before, a few people took a deep breath, carried the sedan swayingly, and jogged twice along the wooden stage.
In An Xuan's previous words, the general meaning of this scene is to pick up the bride from her home and send it to the groom's house.
After carrying the sedan chair for a while, the fourth drum finally sounded.
An Xuan and others immediately looked in one direction.
According to the arrangement of this scene, the second group of people will come from this direction soon.
Then after completing the handover of a scene, they can leave.
This is also the moment when An Xuan is most worried. He is worried that the second group will not appear.
Accidents are likely to occur along the way.
Time passed minute by minute, and some time had passed since the fourth drum sounded, but the direction in front of me was still shrouded in a thin layer of fog.
The second group did not appear.
Did something happen again?
Just as An Xuan was thinking quickly about how to respond, a blood-red sedan rushed out of the mist and came to the stage where they were standing.
An Xuan immediately felt his body tremble. It seemed that the other people were also worried about the second group not coming.
Seeing that the sedan finally appeared, I was relieved.
They immediately carried the sedan to greet him, and the two identical red sedans began to play against each other.
It is said to be a duet, but the plot and actions are very simple. After all, none of them has ever acted in such a play. It would be really troublesome if the actions were more complicated.
The sedan chairs of the Jiangcheng group and the Anxuan group circled each other twice, and the sound of singing and singing floated in their ears, moving from left to right, which was very strange.
The surrounding area was filled with fog, and they could only see a small area nearby. As for what was on the lake, they couldn't see it, and they didn't dare to see it.
Now everyone is focused on finishing this scene as soon as possible.
I hope nothing will go wrong again.
Five drums sounded.
The two teams looked at each other, then stopped their movements in a tacit understanding, slowly lowered the sedan chair, and then followed the instructions on the paper, stepping on the rhythm of the opera, walking in a strange and mechanical way He left the sedan with a hopping pace, and finally came to the opponent's sedan to take over the opponent's position.
The two groups of people pass by each other, which is equivalent to the sedan chair not moving, and the bearers carrying the sedan chair changing positions with each other.
The whole scene was weird and silent. Qin Jian, who was wearing a paper head, felt very uncomfortable, as if his clothes were crawling with maggots.
They are waiting, everyone is waiting.
Both groups of people stopped beside the sedan and stood solemnly. No one dared to make a sound, and no one could even hear breathing in the sedan.
They were waiting for the sixth drum.
After the sixth drum sounds, they can leave separately and then return to the abandoned house to assemble.
The lake that was surrounded by the mansion gave people a very bad feeling. It was eerie, as if the water was filled with dead souls.
They even doubted that when they rushed to the water's edge and looked down with a lantern, the face reflected in the water was not their own face.
Maybe it was a green-faced and fanged fierce ghost.
When the plaintive singing was approaching its climax, they finally heard the sixth drumbeat.
The whole sedan trembled, An Xuan understood, and everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
The same goes for the other team on the opposite side. Zuo Jing, Jiangcheng and others reacted even faster than An Xuan's group. They immediately set up their sedan chair and ran in the other direction.
As the second group, they need to make an extra circle. They can only rush back after An Xuan and his party return to the courtyard where they gathered.
Anxuan and others grabbed the lifting pole, immediately put the sedan on their shoulders, and then evacuated along the arranged route.
On the way back, their speed was obviously faster than when they came.
The sound of opera singers on the lake behind him gradually subsided. If you take off Qin Jian's paper head at this moment, you will find that the look on his face is much better than when he first heard the opera singers.
He thought that today would be a bad day.
Glancing at An Xuan, who was also in the first row beside him, Qin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly.
As expected, Mr. An had some tricks up his sleeve, and the suggestions he made for himself actually saved his life.
Although it was too early to say this at the moment, he could clearly feel that after the singing and opera sound disappeared, the strange aura that filled the lake also dissipated.
There should be no problem tonight.
As for tomorrow, it depends on whether someone will make a more fatal mistake.
And he also understands what Mr. An means. He still has Tang Shirou in his hand who can save his life.
Although he didn't have much contact with Mr. An, the latter's mental skills really impressed him who was decades older than him.
Inadvertently glanced at An Xuan beside him, Qin Jian had some other thoughts in his eyes. It seemed that the clue should be in him.
Hurry up, hurry up.
Youqi was sweating profusely as he ran. He stared at the house not far ahead. As long as he entered the yard and waited until the other group came back later, this mission would be over
< br>"Crunch——"
A sharp scraping sound interrupted his thoughts.
The next second, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and an identical red sedan rushed out of the courtyard and headed straight for them. (End of this chapter)
