Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Lu Nanzhi tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, she finally put on her coat, stood in front of the window, and looked at the bright moon outside.

I thought to myself: I don't know how the investigation of the Lanze case is going, whether there is any clue.

If Shen Lanze knew that she chose to take the risk to save Yan Wen, she would definitely be furious, but she really couldn't let Yan Wen ignore her.

Ended up just leaving a note under the teacup, hoping she'd still have it when she came back.

Before dawn, the two set off and followed the secret passage to the outside of the city.

Lu Nanzhi found Qingshi Village by relying on the petals on the ground, entered the cave, and saw that there were forks in the road everywhere, and he didn't know which way to go for a while.

Chen Xi suddenly grabbed her wrist, and walked forward quickly, until they came out of the cave and saw the village outside, Lu Nanzhi couldn't help sighing: "It's true that there are mountains beyond mountains."

They walked into a farmyard at random, they knocked on the door, but there was no response, and the atmosphere became weird.

Chen Xi stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, dust came rushing towards his face, and the choking two coughed violently.

Lu Nanzhi raised his hand and slapped his face in front of his eyes. He probed his head and looked inside. There was nothing in the room except tables, chairs, benches and a bed, and a thick layer of dust fell on these things. It is covered with moss.

"It seems that no one has lived here for a long time?"

"Why is there no one? How could this be?"

Chen Xi seemed to think of something, turned around and ran out, entered another courtyard and opened the door, this time he cleverly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

Sure enough, there was another burst of dust.

They walked through several yards one after another, and Lu Nanzhi couldn't help but rubbed his arms and said, "Where did all these people go? Did they all move away?"

Chen Xi remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking, until they came to Xiangu Temple and saw the woman on the statue, his eyes filled with deep sadness.

"You know this person?" Lu Nanzhi asked sideways.

This woman should be the woman that Shen Lanze said last time that she was enshrined in the Fairy Aunt Temple. She is indeed beautiful and moving. If she is alive, she must be more beautiful than this.

Chen Xi didn't answer her question, but just walked over step by step, gently stroking the stone statue, like a lover she hasn't seen for a long time.

"So you've been here all along, no wonder I can't find you anyway."

"Hey!" Lu Nanzhi yelled when he saw this, "Who are you looking for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a noisy sound from a distance, and Chen Xi suddenly had a strong premonition in his heart.

"Get out of here quickly, it's dangerous!"

Before Lu Nanzhi had time to refute, he was dragged by Chen Xi to escape from the Xiangu Temple through the back door. The two ran along the path behind and rushed into the abandoned house before stopping to catch their breath.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lu Nanzhi patted his chest, stared at Chen Xi and said, "You scared me to death!"

Chen Xi looked up at the sky, his face was as pale as paper, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and it took him a long time to utter a word: "It smells like blood."

"You're crazy!" Lu Nanzhi pointed to the sky and said, "Look over there, a lot of birds are flying over!"

"No, the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger." Chen Xi frowned nervously, "Let's go."

Lu Nanzhi followed behind him puzzled, but when she caught up with him, she found that Chenxi had disappeared without a trace, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

She looked around suspiciously, and suddenly found a corpse lying in the grass in front of her, with only half of her leg and left shoulder, it looked like it had been split in the middle by someone, how cruel it was!
Lu Nanzhi trembled all over, stood still for a moment, and slowly stood up. She looked around and decided to return to Xiangu's nunnery first.

However, Lu Nanzhi had just walked a few steps when he suddenly saw a group of huge bats hovering above the treetops.

They have razor-sharp teeth and gleaming eyes that keep an eye on their prey below.

Lu Nanzhi covered his mouth in horror, hid behind the house and shivered, not daring to move.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps
Lu Nanzhi was taken aback for a moment, carefully identifying the direction of the sound, and then saw two men in black clothes approaching, fearing that he would be discovered, he involuntarily took two steps back.

"Click"

Lu Nanzhi accidentally stepped on a branch, making a crisp breaking sound, and the two walked vigilantly towards her position.She held her breath and leaned against the dirt wall.

The two stopped in front of the house and pulled out their daggers. One of the men made a gesture to signal them to surround them from different directions. The man nodded and walked to the other side. When they came to the house, there was nothing.

"Is there anyone here, hurry up, don't make the master wait too long." One of the men said.

The other person scratched his head in bewilderment. He heard a sound clearly just now, so how could there be nothing?

He glanced back in doubt, making sure that no one was there before striding forward.

After they left, the two people on the roof poked their heads out, and Lu Nanzhi let out a long sigh of relief, "Why did you come up here?"

"Stand tall and see far away." Chen Xi no longer had the foolish look of the past, nor was he as fairy-like as before, but instead had a strong sense of sadness.

Lu Nanzhi followed his line of sight, except for the courtyard, there was no one, even the two men just now disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.

"Where did you say those two people came from just now? Where did they go? Can we find Yan Wen by following them?" Lu Nanzhi asked dejectedly.

Chen Xi glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Everyone has disappeared, and you only thought of following her."

"I'm not scared to forget, you are so smart, why don't you remember?" Lu Nanzhi couldn't help retorting.

Chen Xi didn't make a sound, tapped his toes, and flew down from the roof.

"Hey, you're going down, what should I do?" Lu Nanzhi wanted to grab her, but slipped on the sole of his foot and almost rolled down, but managed to hold on and dared not move.

If she falls from such a high place, whether she can live is one thing.

Chen Xi stood firm, looked up at the person on the roof with his arms crossed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It wasn't very good just now, if you have the ability to come down by yourself."

"Who is it? You obviously brought me up, but now you leave me here." Lu Nanzhi curled his lips angrily.

She looked around, thinking about where it would be safer to climb down, but no matter which direction she went, it was quite high.

Just as she stood up tremblingly, she was dragged and flew down.

"Ah..." Lu Nanzhi screamed in fright, and his soul almost flew out of his body in fright.

Chen Xi frowned, raised his hand to cover her mouth, "Arguing that I should throw you out?"

Lu Nanzhi felt her legs hit the ground, and her legs were so weak that she almost fell down. She was really scared to death just now.
Just as he was about to swear, a gust of palm wind hit, Chen Xi hurriedly pushed Lu Nanzhi away, and flew back.
