The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 156 Nine Star Village

When Xi Lan heard his words, she wanted to comfort her.

But in the end, she didn't know what kind of comfort was enough to heal the lack of people's hearts, so she simply fell silent.

Soon, Li Huai brought her down.

"There is a village ahead, I want to go into the village and have a look." Coming down from the small hill, she unfolded the map and told Li Huai to ask for his permission.

Li Huai lowered his eyebrows and read out the name of the village, "Nine Star Village?"

"Ah."

He looked up at the sky, and found that the dark clouds above his head were filling up, covering the last ray of sunlight into the clouds.He replied: "It will rain soon, we can go to the village to take shelter."

Xi Lan nodded, opened the door curtain and got in.

At this time, a female voice asked her: "Are you going to enter Jiuxing Village?"

"Qin Yu, are you awake?" Xi Lan was surprised, because the other party was still lying there with the blanket covering his face, so she didn't notice in time.

"Are you going to enter Jiuxing Village?" Qin Yu asked again, her voice was a little nervous.

She felt that Qin Yu seemed to know something, so she helped her up and asked: "Well, it's going to rain, we need to find a place to shelter from the rain, what's wrong?"

Qin Yu hurriedly persuaded: "There are two other villages around where you can shelter from the rain, don't go there!"

Suddenly a strong wind blew in, and the curtain of the carriage door was lifted, and Xi Lan swiftly blocked it with her hand.

Then, Li Huai's inquiry came from outside the carriage: "Are you all right? We need to speed up, the heavy rain is coming soon!"

"It's okay! Let's go!" Xi Lan replied towards the outside, and the carriage immediately started to gallop on the country road.

Even so, Yan Ming's loud voice broke through the wind and came in: "The rain is coming so fast, the sun was shining just now!"

"The rain in early summer is like a woman's face. Turn it over as soon as you say it!" I don't know which Wangfu guard replied, but Li Huai didn't care about them. The group smiled and took away the bad mood of the rush. .

Xi Lan in the car turned her head and looked at Qin Yu. She still had some doubts about Qin Yu's dissuasion just now, so she asked tentatively, "Qin Yu, do you know anything?"

Qin Yu was not as sober as before, touched the back of her head with her hands, groaned in pain, and asked her: "Just now I was in the backyard room, and a man in black suddenly ran in, ma'am, you saved me ?"

She was startled when she heard this, she sat closer to Qin Yu, held her hand and replied, "We rescued you, now we are going to Jiuxing Village, have you ever been to Jiuxing Village?"

The other party pointed to his face: "Me? I haven't been there. I just passed by another village nearby. Ma'am, are we going to enter Jiuxing Village now?"

"Yeah." She nodded and took her hand back.

"Oh!" Qin Yu responded obediently, not trying to dissuade her like before.

Xi Lan thought about it, and heard Yan Ming's voice from outside the car, saying: "It's really strange for grandma, just now I saw the village in front of me, why have I not reached the entrance of the village after walking for so long?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy rain hit the roof of the car, scaring Qin Yu.

Xi Lan didn't respond at all, she just sat in the car with her eyes closed and continued on her way.

At the front of the convoy, Yan Ting led the way on horseback. When it rained, he took out his rain cape and continued to brave the rain.

At this time, he discovered that on the field ridge in front of him, there were actually two laughing children playing in the mud.

This way, perhaps because of the rain, I didn't see anyone, but I was overjoyed to see these two children.He asked aloud, "Hey, kid, why don't you go home when it's raining?"

The two children were having fun, they didn't listen to his words at all, and continued to pick up the mud on the ground and throw it at each other.

"Hey, are you from the village in front?" Yan Ting shouted again.

It was estimated that the rain was too loud just now, and the two children didn't hear it.

After being yelled at by him, the two children were taken aback for a moment, and ran over bouncingly, asking, "Are you going into the village to shelter from the rain?"

Yan Ting replied: "Yes! You take us into the village, and my brother will give you candy!"

When the two children heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, and happily agreed: "Okay, okay, come quickly!"

Immediately, he took the group of them to the entrance of the village.

After a while, they saw a wooden sign hanging on the elm tree, with three words clearly engraved on it, Jiuxing Village.

"It's finally here, my lord, let's find a family to shelter from the rain first!" Yan Ting rode over to report to Li Huai. After receiving the order, he rode into the rain and fog. There is a family with a big front yard, my lord, let's go there for a while!"

"Okay!" Li Huai tidied up his poncho, rode to the front of the carriage, and said to Xi Lan, "Jin Hua, we'll be there soon!"

When the group arrived outside the house Yan Ting mentioned, they saw an old woman with gray hair weaving in the house. When they saw them coming in, they got up, looked outside and shouted: "Fu Lu? Fu Lu is you I'm home?"

"Ma'am, we passed by here and want to borrow your house to shelter from the rain!" Yan Ting got off his horse, walked in and said politely to the old woman.

The old lady stared at his face dully and slowly, her old eyes were cloudy and lifeless, she stared at him tightly and her heart was bristling. After a while, she asked in an old voice: "Are you just passing by here? What about you?" Have you seen my Fulu?"

Yan Ting hurriedly replied kindly: "Ma'am, when we entered the village, we saw two children. I wonder if they are Fulu from your family?"

As he spoke, he looked into the yard, and it seemed as if after they entered the village, the two children disappeared!
But the old woman snorted coldly and said, "My Fulu is as tall as you, how could he be a child?"

Yan Ting was taken aback for a moment, feeling that the old woman was a bit mentally abnormal, it seemed that she had to be careful.

At this time, Li Huai who came later came over, originally wanted to have a nice conversation with the old woman, after all, it would be offensive for so many people to come to someone's house.

But she didn't want to, the old woman screamed when she saw him: "He's going to kill me! He's going to kill me!"

Li Huai paused under the eaves, and Yan Ting stepped over there to support the old lady and said: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, how could my son kill you?"

"He has a knife on him, he has a knife on his body!" The aunt kept retreating inside with trembling hands.

Seeing this, Li Huai gestured to Yan Ting, "Forget it, it seems that she is not very clear, so don't worry about her!"

After finishing speaking, he waited for his subordinates to lead Xi Lan's carriage into the yard.

As soon as the carriage stopped, he immediately took the umbrella Yan Ming handed over, and went back into the rain to pick up Xi Lan.

Immediately, the two held an umbrella together and walked quickly to the eaves.

Xi Lan looked around and asked very puzzled, "How did you find such a place to shelter from the rain?"

"This village is too remote, and this is the best and most spacious place in the village!" Li Huai told her patiently, and then he was a little surprised: "No matter it's food, drink and clothing, you always come here, and this is the first time. Seeing that you are so disgusted, don't speak too loudly, there is a mother-in-law in this room, she will probably be angry when she hears your words!"

Xi Lan's face was startled: "This is the place where people still live?"

Li Huai replied disapprovingly: "Yes! It's inside! When I saw Yan Ting, I seemed to regard Yan Ting as her son."

"Oh?" She listened, raised her eyebrows, and looked in the direction Li Huai was pointing.

Sure enough, I saw Yan Ting and the white-haired mother-in-law standing there in a pile of rags.

At this time, Yan Ming came over with a bench in his arms, and said courteously, "Princess, please sit down."

Xi Lan glanced at the bench, her face was embarrassed, and she didn't sit down.

Yan Ming immediately wiped the stool with his sleeve, raised his head and said to her: "Princess, my subordinates have already wiped it clean, look."

Li Huai who was next to her saw that she was abnormal, so he asked, "Xi Lan, is there something wrong here?"

"Not only is it wrong, don't you realize that there is no one else around here?"

Li Huai smiled. This time, he felt that she was worrying too much. He pointed to the rain and fog outside and said, "It's raining so heavily, and some people have gone to shelter from the rain. Who would run around outside?"

Xi Lan sighed, looked back at the old woman, and asked, "You just said that the old woman recognized Yan Ting as her son?"

"Ah."

Her complexion changed, and she thought to herself, could it be such a coincidence?

"My lord! My lord!" Suddenly, a palace guard rushed in from the rain. Although he was wearing a black poncho, his whole body was still soaked by the rain.

Li Huai asked seriously, "Why are you so panicked?"

Wang Fuwei ran close, clasped his hands in front of him, and reported anxiously: "My lord, Yang Jun, the youngest member of the team, is missing!"
