Chapter 92: Escape
In the wilderness, Li Sian had been running on horseback for half the night.
Even the horse was exhausted, let alone a big living person like him.
There was still some distance from Tianhu County, so Li Sian had to temporarily stop his horse by a creek.
Prepare to drink some water at the creek and let the horse rest so that you can finish the rest of the journey in one go.
At this moment, Li Sian suddenly felt a sense of oppression in his chest, and the feeling of chill became more and more serious.
Something was coming quickly from the distance.
"What are you doing standing still? Run quickly, a big guy is coming!"
It was another soul that hurriedly warned Li Sian through his own perception.
Li Sian turned around and wanted to get on his horse and run away, but as soon as he got close to the horse, he changed his mind. He slapped the horse's butt and let it run away on its own.
Count on him to distract the other person a bit.
"Sure enough, the ranking of the head of this case is really not easy to get."
Li Si'an sighed secretly, gave up the official path, and plunged into the barren mountains and forests.
After his previous understanding, he probably guessed that the evil behind the scenes of Dongjiang Mansion had a big plan.
What they covet is the flesh and blood of these new talents and the purple energy of their national fortune.
After noticing it, he suddenly left, catching the other person off guard.
But the other party is a monster with an unpredictable background, so it is easy to hunt him down.
What's more, since he is the leader of the case, he will naturally receive the most purple energy of national luck, and he is the main target of the evil spirit.
If you don’t want to be captured by that evil spirit, stripped of your skin and bones, and eaten alive, you must flee to Tianhu County before the other party finds you.
About the time it took for another stick of incense to escape on foot, Li Sian once again received a warning from another soul.
That guy has locked onto them. It's useless to run like this. We have to think of another way.
"Use evil to hide evil. The purple aura of national luck in our bodies is too obvious. We must find a place with enough evil aura to cover your aura." There is another ghost who is better at targeting evil types.
Li Sian no longer hesitated and ran towards the evil place.
What kind of tombs and cemeteries, old houses in the mountains that appear inexplicably, or houses made of paper, or even haunted mountain temples.
Just when the suffocating feeling of being locked in was getting heavier and heavier, a brightly lit courtyard filled with the laughter and laughter of women finally appeared on the roadside.
It was midnight, but the courtyard gate was not closed, and there was no gatekeeper.
"Huh..."
Li Sian breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly dove into the yard, and shouted loudly:
"Late-born Li Sian, is This is the first time I’ve been involved in this case. I just missed my trip and couldn’t find a hotel. Can I stay here for one night?”
I’m deliberately showing off like this to attract the possible evil things in this yard to take me in.
Sure enough, a young woman came out of the courtyard soon.
Looks like he is in his early thirties, with a mature charm and a beauty mark on the corner of his mouth.
“It turns out that the master of the case is here, and the humble house is really full of splendor, adding to its brilliance.”
Li Si’an took a quick look, and there was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old at the door. When she poked her head out, she looked lively and smart, and also quite beautiful.
“I’m sorry.”
Li Sian didn't waste any time and entered the house without waiting for the young woman's invitation.
It is indeed brightly lit and resplendent inside.
In the barren mountains and ridges, even the courtyard door is not closed in the middle of the night, nor is it sleeping. Instead, the lights are brightly lit.
Only a ghost will believe you if you say there is no problem.
“This place is indeed suitable for hiding, and there is evil inside and outside.”
"When the monster loses patience and searches elsewhere, we can take the opportunity to escape."
Li Si'an also agreed with the other soul's idea, and then asked the young woman:
" "Sorry to bother you, madam. I'm tired from traveling all day long and haven't eaten for half a day. I wonder if you have any leftovers to feed me?" While speaking, Li Si'an also took out a piece of jade pendant made of mediocre material from his arms.
“This jade pendant is not worth much, just think it is a late-born Sichuanese. I hope Madam will not dislike it.”
Seeing how extravagant this young woman's family is, it's natural that she wouldn't be interested in an ordinary jade pendant.
"What are you talking about, Master? My three sisters have always admired scholars. Since Master is the leader of this case, we really admire him greatly."
"Three sisters ?”
Li Sian was just about to ask when he saw a young woman in her early twenties walking out from behind the screen. She was really beautiful and charming, just right.
“The slave family has met the young master.”
"Young Master, please don't laugh at me." The young woman also tried to smooth things over at this time:
"My sister-in-law has always been shy, and she is rude and has been rude to the Young Master."
The three sisters looked at each other. At one glance, the young woman and eldest sister offered to prepare meals for Li Sian.
Li Sian happened to be tired from running, so he found a chair and sat down.
On the other hand, the two girls opposite were chatting and rambling, intentionally or unintentionally teasing Li Sian.
Li Sian, who already knew what these three sisters were, naturally had no interest in them.
In less than half an hour, the young woman and the eldest sister asked several people to eat in another room.
Originally, Li Sian thought that it would be troublesome to prepare a bowl of noodles for himself at most in the middle of the night, or stir-fry two dishes.
Who knew that what was on the table would be more than ten sumptuous dishes.
And most of them are fat chicken, pig's trotters, stewed meat and other greasy foods.
But what surprised Li Sian the most was that there were not only these three women at the dinner table, but also an extremely fat man with a dull face.
He is probably in his early twenties, but he is so fat that he can hardly even see his eyes.
The excess fat on the body makes people feel sick to their stomachs.
Li Sian originally had quite an appetite when he saw a table of dishes, but when he saw such a fat man, his appetite for these big fish and meat was immediately reduced by half, and he felt tired from the bottom of his heart.
“These dishes can’t be hallucinations. Don’t find out the next day that they are all made of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.”
Li Sian couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
The other soul dispelled his doubts after analyzing it for a moment.
These dishes are indeed real fish and meat, not magic tricks.
"This eldest brother is..."
Li Sian bowed his hand to the fat man in front of the table.
The young woman and the eldest sister smiled and said:
"This is an official of mine. He was seriously ill some time ago, so he couldn't control his appetite and didn't scare the young master."
Li Sian shook his head. He shook his head, watching the fat man summoning the energy to say hello to him, and hurriedly returned the greeting.
After sitting down, Li Sian stopped talking nonsense with the three girls and began to eat with concentration.
To Li Sian's expectation, the young woman and eldest sister seemed to be really an infatuated woman.
She kept putting vegetables in her husband's bowl, and even took the trouble to pick up various kinds of pork knuckles and pork belly and stuff them into her husband's mouth.
The way his husband eats is really scary.
He was eating like a vortex, but his face showed an extremely painful expression, as if these delicious foods were a great torture to him.
Looking at that scene, Li Sian, who had just finished eating, finally lost his appetite completely.
