"We should go back." The fourth sister's voice was a little erratic.

"It's okay, there isn't much time left anyway." Sister Gray's voice sounded, and her figure flashed a few times like a cassette, and she disappeared out of thin air.

"Phew!" The fourth sister touched her chest and let out a long breath, "These ghosts like to conduct raids like this! Let's go." She said to Qiuli.

In addition to the ambergris aroma, Qiuli's nose also smelled a suppressed fishy smell. Her sense of smell has always been very good, so good that she can distinguish the subtle differences between smells.

This is one of the reasons why Qiuli can become an excellent private kitchen chef.

Vaguely, the fourth girl in front of her, who was turning around to leave, turned into a red carp that was shaking its head and swaying its tail.

There was no one else in the garden except the three of them. Qiuli took out the "ancestral kitchen knife" and slashed it with the knife.

The blade of the knife touched the pink dress of the fourth girl, and a ray of yellow light gushed out from the blade. A cry of surprise came out of the fourth girl's mouth, and her body jumped forward.

The small flower umbrella held in his hand fell to the ground.

A three-foot-long red carp bounced on the ground a few times, then calmed down.

Qiuli looked at its mouth still slightly open and its gills twitching.

Just as he was about to finish his attack, footsteps came from outside the garden.

She bent down, put the umbrella and the "ancestral kitchen knife" that had fallen to the ground into the "portable food box", hugged the red carp with both hands, "Follow me." She whispered to the stunned Zhao Di behind her.

She ducked behind the banyan tree, placed the carp in the grass, pointed to the hole behind her and whispered to Zhaodi: "When they leave, get out of here and find a place to hide."

Zhaodi's face turned pale and she grabbed Qiuli's sleeves hard.

"I'm fine. I have to save an uncle. I'll come to you when I save him." She touched Zhao Di's bun, unaware that she was still half a child at this moment.

A few men came in outside the garden, walking unsteadily. They had ugly faces and did not hold an umbrella in the rain. They seemed to like the rain very much.

There were only two toilets, and two people went in, while the others muttered and settled on the spot. Qiuli listened to the sound of water rushing outside and the conversation with them.

"The main dish hasn't been served yet, please eat slowly," said a fat man with a bulging head.

"That pair of boys and girls, even if they were given as much flesh and blood as you and my brothers, they still fell down after eating and drinking enough."

"Hush! Silence, why are you peeing here? You will be scolded by the third lady!" A man opened the door from the toilet and said angrily.

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, and she won't know." The man at the door replied with a playful smile.

"Let's go, let's go, this wine is strong enough, let's have two more glasses."

…

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Qiuli pushed aside the grass behind her, "I'll watch, hurry up."

Zhaodi's eyes were red, and she wiped away the tears that came from her eyes. She leaned down and squeezed out of the hole using her hands and feet. A weak voice sounded through the hole, "Then I'll find a place to wait for you."

"Okay." Qiuli replied, while cleaning up the straw that had fallen down next to the entrance of the cave. After seeing that there were no traces left, she stood up.

She held up the knife, targeting the red carp's neck. Just as she was about to cut it, tears fell from the carp's open eyes, and Qiuli was stunned.

The knife couldn't cut anymore, so she took out a demon-suppressing talisman thrown by her master from her arms, "I'll spare your life this time, but don't eat people again!" The talisman was pasted on the fish's body, and a line was drawn.

A yellow light flashed, and a yellow line strangled the fish's waist. She couldn't break free for a day.

The alliance between monsters and ghosts this time must be some big move, and it must be related to the flood. It seems to be related to the sudden dispatch of a national advisor by the imperial court.

While I was thinking about it, the "professional game interface" in my mind started to move.

"drop"

[Discover key clues, reward points 1,000 points, accumulated points: 20,600 points.]

The cooperation between monsters and ghosts is not reliable, so they have to resort to marriage?

"drop"

[Discover key clues, reward points 1,000 points, accumulated points: 21,600 points.]

Qiuli didn't feel much joy after receiving two awards out of thin air. This place gave her a stronger sense of tension than anywhere else before.

She stood up on the spot, the raindrops became more dense, her coat was already wet, and a few strands of hair blew off, scattered on her forehead.

As part of the mission, Zhao Di was rescued, but the beep did not sound, which only proved that the danger was still there.

Now she needs to find Fatty Huang first.

Qiuli took a deep breath, bent her waist, and walked quickly along the wall toward the hall.

The hall was brightly lit, so she took out the "invisible rag", put it on her head, and walked quickly inside.

The smell of alcohol in the hall was overwhelming, and the bride and groom were nowhere to be found. The eldest lady and the eldest gentleman were still at the main table, enjoying the banquet slowly with several juniors.

Fatty Huang is still in the same place.

Qiuli walked to him close to the corner. There were not many people at this table, and they ate quietly. It was like meeting unfamiliar relatives at a wedding, and these unfamiliar relatives were arranged together.

Fatty Huang was like an outlier at this table. Not only did he not hold chopsticks, he also didn't look at them.

The others' faces were red from drinking, but he was the only one who turned pale.

Qiuli came closer and whispered in his ear: "I am Qiuli, don't be afraid."

Fatty Huang trembled. He stretched out his hand to support his body to stand up, but pushed it back with all his strength. He looked around and saw no one.

"I cast a spell. You can't see me now. You can use the excuse to go to the toilet and meet us at the door."

Fatty Huang subconsciously said: "Hey!" As soon as he said this, several people at the table looked at him.

Fatty Huang's face suddenly turned red from suppressing it, and he looked like he wanted to pee, "Go to the toilet, I'll be back soon."

Then they looked away, and Fatty Huang moved his stiff legs and walked out step by step.

Qiuli's eyes looked under his seat. A bloody finger was lying quietly under his seat. No wonder he had kept his head down before, so he saw this thing.

Fatty Huang walked to the door and found that no one was paying attention to him. He was relieved. He stood in the corridor and was at a loss when Qiuli's voice rang: "Go to the right, quickly."

This time, Fatty Huang was smart. He nodded without saying anything, covered his stomach with both hands, and ran towards the right side.

Not long after he left, the lady in the hall looked around and asked the third lady at the table, "Where is the fourth lady?"

The third lady looked around and suddenly stood up, "Madam, I'm going to take a look, I'm afraid they're hungry."

"Well, go and come back quickly, don't miss the time."

"Okay, I'll be back in a moment."

The third lady looked around and pointed at a rough lady: "Mrs. Chen, come with me."

Mrs. Chen was tall and tall. When she heard this, she immediately put down the plate in her hand and came over happily.

In the garden, Qiuli discovered that she had miscalculated. Fatty Huang's body was too fat and her butt was stuck in the hole. She was panting and supported the banyan tree. She exerted force on her feet, and then Fatty Huang's body slowly moved a few centimeters.

But coincidentally, there was movement outside at this moment.

Mrs. Chen's footsteps sounded outside the garden, and then she shouted in a rough voice: "Fourth Lady?"

The third lady followed her slowly, looking into the garden.

There is another chapter in the back. I’ll start coding when I wake up. Good night, my dears:)
