The dark poplar forest is like a dormant beast, and not far away are scattered village huts.
Liu Ruyan waited in the room for a long time, and finally couldn't help feeling sleepy, so she simply turned off the lights and went to bed.
She turned her head and winked at the man sitting at the table.
Shen Yanchu remained motionless.
"I'm going to bed, why don't you go back to the room?" She started to chase people away.
Shen Yanchu looked back with a look as if he wanted to go back to his room: "Stay here tonight to keep vigil. You can go to sleep."
"You're staring at me like this, how can you still sleep?"
"As long as I don't look at you." He closed his eyes.
There was a sound of wind outside the window. Liu Ruyan tucked the corner of her quilt and was feeling confused. One side of the bed suddenly sank and someone rolled over on the bed.
She kicked her over, but the opponent grabbed her ankle.
"Kick me for what?"
Liu Ruyan smiled instead of being angry: "I still want to ask you, what kind of bed do you crawl on in the middle of the night?"
Shen Yanchu felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He let go of his hand and took another quilt to cover himself.
She stared at someone at the end of the bed. It turned out that this devil was also afraid of getting cold.
Liu Ruyan simply moved into the bed and curled up into a ball, not wanting to touch any of his hair.
I really don’t know what evil I did in my previous life to end up sleeping with the enemy.
"It's cold?" Feeling her shrinking her limbs, Shen Yanchu suddenly stood up and walked out of the house.
Just when she thought the other party had gone back to her room to rest, Shen Yanchu left and returned, uncovered her mattress and stuffed a... Tang Pozi inside.
Instantly, the warmth drove away the cold, her heart warmed, and her mouth became sweet: "It's very cold outside, so hurry up and sleep under the quilt."
Shen Yanchu looked at her bright little eyes and wondered: He is always so busy with just a little effort?
When I am ugly, it is the coldest time of night, and the unstoppable chill goes straight into my bones.
Liu Ruyan suddenly woke up.
In the darkness, she saw a hand coming over and covering her mouth and nose.
She suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. The person in the darkness was very close, and she was almost leaning in that person's arms, his breath warm on her neck.
Liu Ruyan retracted her neck, the fingers on her sleeves became claws, and she took action instantly, but she heard the man behind her say softly.
"it's me."
Shen Yanchu?
She nodded slightly, signaling for him to let go.
Shen Yanchu's hand fell from her lips, and the soft touch between his fingers made his mood change.
Before he had time to think about it, he made another silent gesture and whispered: "They are coming."
Someone poked a hole in the paper window, inserted a tube-like object, and wisps of green smoke drifted into the house.
It's smoke.
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but think to herself that if she hadn't suddenly woken up, with her current skill alone, she would not have been able to detect this inaudible smoke.
However, she has no internal strength now. Let alone resist, she can't even hold her breath for long.
After biting her lip to hold it in for a long time, she finally couldn't resist and fainted.
The moment she closed her eyes, she glanced specifically at Shen Yanchu and moved her lips: "Brother, the rest is all up to you."
When I regained consciousness again, the sound of dripping water could be heard in my ears, and the quiet sound of needles dropping could be heard all around.
She opened her eyes and could vaguely make out a few shadows in the dark night.
There is someone next to you.
She maintained her sleepy posture and secretly looked at the situation around her with her eyes.
The surroundings are very quiet, and the sound of breathing can be vaguely heard, with slightly different frequencies.
There are three people nearby.
Liu Ruyan calmed down and tried to distinguish Shen Yanchu's aura among the three people.
No, he's not here...
Being trapped alone, Liu Ruyan felt a little uneasy, but she soon calmed down again.
When her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw a rugged mountain wall that looked like a cave.
She contacted Ye Xun.
The young man in black appeared out of thin air, but as soon as he appeared, he saw the tragic scene of Liu Ruyan lying on the ground with her hands and feet bound.
He was extremely shocked: "What happened to the host?"
She was quite helpless: "As you can see, I was attacked by someone."
Ye Xun hurriedly squatted over and took out various knives as if offering treasures: "This is a ten-piece set of knives that I bought from the system store. Host, take a look, which one do you need?"
"No need, it's not difficult to escape from this kind of rope. The top priority is to find Bai Zhi first."
"Medicine Fairy Angelica dahurica?" Ye Xun understood and turned on the night vision function for her.
Liu Ruyan opened her eyes again, and the scene inside the cave became clear.
There were three people lying nearby, and she looked at them one by one. One man was fat and was wearing a taupe cloth; the other was thin and was wearing a gray-brown silk shirt.
There is another person...
Liu Ruyan moved her feet slightly and kicked the stones beside her feet away.
There was a soft sound in the empty cave, and the stones hit the mountain wall and shot out in the opposite direction, falling on the man. The man turned over and finally revealed his face.
Beard, old folds, and white hair, he turned out to be an old man.
Liu Ruyan was so disappointed that it took her a long time to find a doctor.
Ye Xun came closer, raised his palm lightly, displayed a light screen, and explained to her: "The host's prestige value has reached 90,000, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the near future."
In the character column, Liu Ruyan's prestige value was displayed as 90,000, while Shen Yanchu directly exceeded the 100,000 mark.
Liu Ruyan squinted her eyes and found that under Shen Yanchu's profile picture, there was an extra column of introduction at some point:
——Those with dual identities, whose hidden identity has not yet been activated.
Besides the Lord of Cang Ming Sect, does he have other identities?
Ye Xun continued: "Since the male protagonist has successfully exceeded 100,000 prestige points, the male protagonist's perspective has been opened. Would the host want to take a look?"
"Just watch."
Ye Xun switched the screen: "With the male protagonist's perspective, the story will become more exciting."
Liu Ruyan just stared at the screen, which was a replay of the plot, the scene where she and Shen Yanchu were in the cemetery.
She scanned it for a while, and then a small shadow deep in the forest caught her attention.
"What's this?"
"What kind of animal is Xu?" Ye Xun answered casually.
"It's not like that." Liu Ruyan denied, "If it's an animal like a wild wolf or a deer, it's usually on all fours, but this shadow is obviously not."
Ye Xun directly enlarged the picture, and the shadow's appearance gradually emerged.
Under a head of rough hair, there is actually a woman's face.
Liu Ruyan's face turned a little pale.
The image is a bit blurry, but it can be vaguely seen that the woman's behavior is very strange. She has always maintained the same posture, looking at Liu Ruyan from a distance.
Who is this woman and why does she appear in the forest?
Inexplicably, she remembered the rumors about the female ghost by the river...
The winter nights were hard to endure, and it was hard to stay up until dawn.
There was a rustling sound not far away, and someone started talking next to me.
"We were caught in such a horrible place, why didn't you let us out?"
"Stop yelling. Let's go back. We might not even see the sun."
"how do I say this?"
"They dare to imprison the doctor, why don't they let us get out alive and wait to be arrested by the government?"
Several people sighed and fell into silence again.
"That...I said..."
Several people turned back one after another, and a strange young man sat tremblingly in the corner.
