Spirit rhinoceros

Chapter 87

In Xuangu City, the night was dim.

Bai Xi hadn't woken up yet, but fortunately his pulse was stable, so everyone let him fall asleep.Mo Long slept together on the bamboo couch next to her, guarding Bai Xi, letting Dong Li Chang and Xia Hou Feng rest.

In the middle of the night, probably because Molong has been used to looking at the sea at night for many days, now she can't sleep well and is haunted by nightmares. For a while, she dreamed that she was tied to a pillar to be tortured by thunder, and for a while, she dreamed that she returned to the peach blossom forest. Withered and fallen leaves all over the ground, he couldn't find a consonance, and struggled to wake up from the dream with a haggard heart.

Fortunately, it was just a dream. He opened his eyes, heaved a long sigh of relief, turned over and looked at Bai Xi, and was suddenly shocked - there was no one on the bed, and Bai Xi was nowhere to be found.

He got up immediately, lit the oil lamp, and saw that although the door was closed, the latch was loose, and Bai Xi probably went out by herself.

Mo Long was very thoughtful, even though she saw the door was loosened, she still checked all the corners of the house where people could hide, and made sure that Bai Xi was no longer in the house, so she went out to look for it.He searched up and down the inn, but still couldn't find Bai Xi, only saw a lot of water stains on the ground, so he had no choice but to wake up Dong Li Chang and Xia Hou Feng.

"Xiaobai is gone?" Xia Houfeng opened his mouth wide, yawned big, bared his fangs, and asked in confusion, "It's the middle of the night, why is he running around? Is he hungry and went out to find something to eat?"

Dong Lichang's first reaction was to stare at Mo Long, and said in disbelief, "You didn't even know he went out?" Mo Long always felt very vigilant, it shouldn't be like this.

Mo Long didn't understand either, but now is not the time to look into the matter: "I've searched for the inn, you stay, old man, and Xiaofeng and I will go look for it in the city." Thinking of Bai Xi's abnormal behavior during the day, he There was an inexplicable worry in my heart, and I hurried out with Xia Houfeng.

Dong Lichang frowned, walked to Bai Xi's room, held a candle, and carefully identified the traces left by Bai Xi.

In the middle of the night, Xuangu City was surrounded by mist, quiet and cold, and there was no one on the street. Occasionally, one or two cats looking for food walked slowly along the street corner, with vigorous and brisk steps.Seeing Mo Long and Xia Houfeng appear, they looked back vigilantly, then quickened their pace, and quickly disappeared from their sight.

There was no trace of Bai Xi around, so Mo Long and Xia Houfeng had to search separately, and went to both ends of the street.Xia Houfeng's speed was very fast, as soon as his front foot left, his back foot had already crossed three streets.

Mo Long sniffed hard, trying to distinguish Baixi's smell from the various smells on the street, but there was a strong fishy smell that almost covered up the existence of other smells, so he could only walk forward. Trying hard to distinguish the smell.

Just when he was concentrating on searching for Bai Xi in the dark alleys, he suddenly felt something passing over his head, bringing with it a sinister wind.He suddenly raised his head and looked into the sky—in the darkness, he could only see a thick tail flicking in the distance, but he couldn't see what it was.

When he wanted to take a closer look, the thing had disappeared into the mist.There was some movement from the depths of the narrow alley ahead. Mo Long looked away and listened intently. The movement seemed to be someone vomiting, accompanied by the sound of water, not caused by cats or dogs.

Cautiously walking to the depths of the narrow alley, Mo Long quickly discerned a figure in the mist, whose figure and clothes seemed to be Bai Xi's appearance.

"Xiaobai?" Mo Long tentatively called out.

The man turned his head slowly, looked at Mo Long in pain, and said with difficulty: "Save...save me..."

It really is Bai Xi!Mo Long stepped forward quickly.

When he saw Bai Xi's appearance clearly, even Mo Long was startled.Bai Xi stood next to a large tank, which was used for daily fire fighting in Xuangu City, and a large tank was placed every few tens of feet in the streets and alleys, filled with rainwater.After a long time, the water in some tanks has been soaked in rotten leaves or dead insects and rats because it has not been used for a long time, which can be said to be extremely dirty.

And Bai Xi was holding a gourd ladle, scooping up the water in the jar and pouring it down.At this moment, his abdomen is distended like a drum, and he has obviously drank a lot of water, but he is still pouring water desperately.

"help me……"

Bai Xi said to Mo Long in pain.

Mo Long didn't understand what he was doing for a while. At first, he thought that Bai Xi was poisoned, so he poured water heavily to detoxify, but then he realized that something was wrong, and if he drank it again, he would strangle himself to death.

"Stop drinking!" Mo Long said anxiously.

Bai Xi's hand drinking water seemed to be out of control at all, and he scooped up water to pour himself, and the excess water gushed out of his mouth, dripping all over his body.He could only look at Mo Long for help, but he couldn't stop at all.

"you……"

Mo Long realized that he seemed to be being manipulated by something and couldn't control himself at all, so he made a decisive decision and directly stepped forward to knock him unconscious, massage his abdomen, make him spit out the sewage in his abdomen, and then carried him back to the inn.

Director Dong Li was already startled when he saw Bai Xi who was wet all over, and he was even more surprised when Mo Long finished talking about the scene: "Is this child bewitched by some kind of magic?"

"If it's later, I'm afraid he'll kill himself." Mo Long looked at Bai Xi, frowning deeply. She couldn't figure out how this could happen, so she discussed with Chief Dongli, "What now? What to do? What should he do after he wakes up?"

Having never encountered such a situation before, Dongli Chief hesitated and said: "Why don't you go to the street and ask a doctor to come and have a look."

"Doctor?" Mo Long questioned, "Can those ordinary doctors have better medical skills than you?"

"You have to try, what kind of song to sing on the top of the mountain." Dong Lichang was also very helpless, "Maybe it has something to do with the water and soil, the doctor has seen this kind of disease before."

Mo Long was speechless, but he couldn't think of a better way, so he could only take one step at a time.He was about to help Bai Xi change all the wet clothes when Xia Houfeng came back like a gust of wind. When he saw the wet Bai Xi, he was startled, pointed with his hand, and said in a slightly trembling tone: "He, he also died?!"

"He didn't die, but he finally got his life back." Dong Lichang said in surprise, "What do you mean 'also' dead? Who else?"

Knowing that Bai Xi was not dead, Xia Houfeng closed the door first, let out a long sigh of relief, and said: "I was in the city, and I saw two dead people who were similar to him now, all wet, lying by the water tank. Come on, my stomach is swollen like a ball, as if I've strangled myself to death!"

There are still people!
Mo Long and Dong Lichang were both startled, they looked at each other, and vaguely realized that this matter was definitely not a simple bewitching, it was probably not a trivial matter.

Donghai Mansion, inside Zhanxingyuan.

Lingxi sat on his knees by the window of the tower building, teasing the little meat ball in circles in the water with his hands, and suddenly recalled the things he met in Xuangu City during the day in his mind, and felt something was wrong after a while.

"Did you see someone in the daytime?" She nodded the little meatball's head, "Why did you run to the teahouse?"

The little meatball couldn't speak yet, so she rubbed her head against her hand vigorously, so she had to help it scratch its neck.The little meat ball immediately lay down comfortably in the water waves, with all four feet in the air, and grabbed Lingxi's hand with her body, expecting her to scratch her belly again.

Lingxi scratched it a few times, grabbed it by the neck and brought it in front of his eyes, facing each other, looked at it seriously: "Tell me, did you see someone?"

The little meat ball is pulling four chubby legs, seems to like to meet people face to face, shaking his head happily, but unfortunately he can't speak.

In his heart, he vaguely hoped that the little meatball went straight upstairs because he saw Mo Long, and this was just his own expectation.It has been more than a month since we parted, and Mo Long must have returned to Qingqiu, so how could he be in Xuangu City.Lingxi put down the little meat ball in frustration, and suddenly recalled that it was Xue Lanhe who went upstairs to catch the meatball. Did Xue Lanhe see anyone?

It's a pity that Xue Lanhe has already left, otherwise I can ask him.

Lingxi breathed out a long breath, although the night was deep, but she didn't feel sleepy, and suddenly thought of the seaweed plant she gave to Xuelan River last time.Xuelanhe walked in a hurry, and before she had time to ask someone to take care of it, she thought she should take it back and take care of it.

Couldn't sleep anyway, and wanted to go out for a walk, Lingxi took the little meatball with him, beckoned a ray, jumped down the tower lightly, sat on the back of the fish, the ray scrambled all the way to Bibo Palace where Lingjun lived go.When approaching the Bibo Palace, Lingxi turned over and gestured to the guard who was about to step forward, and the guard retreated back to the original place knowingly.

These days, it has become common for Lingxi to enter and leave the Bibo Palace, and with her status, no one will stop her.After she entered the palace, she made a silent gesture to the maid who was watching the night, but the maid did not dare to step forward to disturb her.

Lingxi thought that her brother might have fallen asleep, so she didn't want to disturb him, so she quietly went to Xuelanhe's room to hold Hailuo out.Because it is convenient to take care of Lingjun, Xuelanhe lives very close to Lingjun.Lingxi quietly walked down the corridor, and was about to go back, when he suddenly heard a dispute——

"I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can't do this..." The man's voice was low, and Lingxi couldn't hear clearly.

Another voice was slightly higher and firm: "Who said I'm not feeling well, I'm fine!"

"Those people...you shouldn't be angry...."

"That's their own fault!"

Someone let out a long sigh, and then there was no more sound.

Lingxi discerned the source of the voice, it seemed to be coming from Ling Jun's bedroom, could it be that the guards in the bedroom were arguing?Are you afraid of waking up your brother with such a loud voice?

She stayed for a while, thinking that if they quarreled again, she would have to scold them.It was only after a while, and there was no more sound, she went to Xuelanhe's room, took Hailuo out, and went all the way back to Zhanxingyuan.

When it was dawn, Bai Xi woke up slowly, slowly opened her eyes, wanted to get up, but found that she couldn't move at all, looked down, and realized that her hands and feet were tightly bound.

"Hey! You..." He said with difficulty.

Dong Lichang turned his back to him, and was slowly drinking porridge, when he heard the movement, he turned his head to look, but there was no joy on his face.

Bai Xi shook her body uncomfortably: "Why are you tying me up?"

Dong Lichang walked over, looked at him probingly, and asked, "Who am I?"

"Old man!" Bai Xi was puzzled, "Why do you ask me this? Have you lost your memory? Where's Brother Long?"

Dong Lichang saw that his mind was clear, and then asked: "Do you still remember what happened yesterday?"

Bai Xi was taken aback for a moment, but when she recalled it, she felt that many things yesterday seemed to be in the clouds and in a blur. The more she tried to figure it out, the more her brain ached: "...I just remember that Brother Long and I were in the teahouse Drinking tea... Later, I seemed to have a dream, dreaming that I was drinking water all the time, drinking all the time... how strange!"

"That wasn't a dream. You really drank a lot of water. If Mo Long hadn't arrived in time, you would have survived yourself." Dong Lichang said.

Hearing this, Bai Xi was taken aback: "How is it possible?"

While talking, Mo Long and Xia Houfeng opened the door and came in, and seeing Bai Xi woke up, they had strange expressions on their faces.
