New Year's Eve
This sudden glance stunned the four people in the room. They almost thought their eyes were dazzled, but the needle that just fell on the ground told them that this all really happened.
Li Jingyi stood at the end of the crowd, looking at the person leaving from a distance. Although she still looked calm on the surface, her heart gradually seemed to be burning with hot lava. This may be in her impression.
It was her first contact with those elusive people in the world.
She could only look at those people who had been in their home from afar, but could never come into contact with them.
The scholar in Tsing Yi was also stunned. He just heard someone outside interrupting the killer's movements. He intuitively felt that the person should be Yi Linglong. For some reason, his mind suddenly became hot. He pushed the door open and rushed out, thinking
He wanted to see what the person outside the door looked like. Then he suddenly saw a person who was both strange and familiar.
Perhaps it was a preconceived notion. In just a few seconds, he subconsciously looked for the shadow of Hua Rongyue on the man in front of him, and he really recognized the man opposite him in the details. He really saw it in the daytime.
One day person.
Although this sounds incredible, and he probably wouldn't believe it if he told anyone else, he really did it.
He was also surprised when he really saw the appearance of the person in front of him. It was not because he didn't know the person's true identity before, but precisely because even after he knew the person's true identity, he was still attracted by such a strong contrast.
I was shocked by the impact.
Because this is a bit too different, so different that one looks like green bamboo shoots in winter, and the other looks like the scorching sun in August.
The scholar in Tsing Yi had caught a glimpse of Yi Linglong from a distance before, mostly by accident. Today was the first time that he had "deliberately" and "face to face" the other person.
Regardless of how he pretends to be on weekdays, let’s just talk about Yi Linglong’s appearance.
The person opposite glanced at him before leaving. This glance made the scholar in Tsing Yi tremble a little. Although he had been looked at by the other person many times during the day, this was the first time that the other person looked at him with an unconcealed look.
.
There was a hint of doubt and a hint of surprise in that look, as if it was strange why he opened the door so quickly. But there was more of a coldness that was never seen during the day, hidden in that body.
It's like another bottomless chill under the scorching sun of stars.
This is completely different from the gentle warmth that the other party usually reveals under his simple and calm dress. Usually the other party is a gentle person, but now he can kill people.
"Did someone run over just now?" The only one in the room who could still speak in a normal tone was Xiao Han. After being stunned for about half a minute, he suddenly said this sentence, breaking the silence.
"I'll go out and take a look." The scholar in Tsing Yi was brought back to his senses by Xiao Han's words. He suddenly opened the door and walked out. Everyone else was stunned by his actions. In fact, the scholar in Tsing Yi was not without tremors.
Yes, he had appeared directly under Yi Linglong's eyes just now. He was very afraid that if he went out again, he would be directly regarded as a troublemaker.
But as the saying goes, the timid will starve to death and the bold will starve to death. When traveling in the world, sometimes you have to be a little reckless.
He did not dare to use Qing Kung Fu to climb over, but came to a small door of Baicaotang that was rarely used on weekdays, gently moved the firewood piled in front of the door, and then pushed the door open.
Xiao Han and the others didn't bother to ask why the scholar in Tsing Yi was so skilled. They found such a secret door just one day after arriving at Baicaotang, because the moment they opened the door, a very soft light came through from outside.
There is a very easy distinction between ancient times and modern times. In ancient times, it was generally dark and midwinter after seven or eight o'clock. For modern times, this is just the beginning of nightlife.
So Leng Buding suddenly saw such a bright scene at night, and everyone felt unreal. The door in front of them was obviously the familiar small door of Baicao Hall, and the moss on the ground also had a familiar shape.
"Why is it so bright?" The scholar in Tsing Yi was really confused. The only places he had seen that were so bright at night were night markets in prosperous areas; brothels; the most prosperous areas in Jiangnan, Jinling and the capital. But no matter where they are, they are different from here.
It can't be matched.
He opened the door and cautiously took a look, and what he saw was a long queue——
The team was almost too long to be seen at a glance. The two girls at the front were as delicate as dolls. The two girls had bright eyes and white teeth, holding a clear glass lamp high in their hands;
The horses pulling the cart are all tall and tall. There are smaller colored glass lamps hanging on the cart, hanging in strings on both sides of the cart. The colored glass lamps are fragile, but the carriage is as stable as if it is not walking at all.
Not the slightest sound of collision could be heard;
The people in the car or on the horse were walking forward quietly, no one looked in their direction, even the rest of the Baicao Hall people poked their heads out out of curiosity.
This team was exactly the one Xiao Han had described during the day, but the description could not match the real scene. When the team passed in front of them, they were still so shocked by its sight that they could hardly speak.
Words come.
The only one who noticed them was inside a car. That car was the most luxurious and exquisite car in the fleet. There was a flower embroidered with gold thread on the curtain that they didn't recognize, but it looked like a multi-petal flower.
Flower pattern.
When the car passed Baicaotang, the people in the car seemed to notice something. Everyone saw that the car curtain was gently opened, and the people in the car seemed to look this way from a distance.
With such a startling glance, they discovered that the light inside the car seemed to be stronger than that outside. There seemed to be other people in the car, but only that one was looking at them.
In the car was the man who had just appeared on the roof. The mask on his face seemed to have been taken off, but it was not taken off. It was just hung diagonally on his face. When he glanced towards this side,
In a daze, they seemed to see a delicate and soft eyebrows, but those eyebrows were only illuminated as a ball of light and shadow in the warm peripheral light around them.
The moment he opened the curtain, a lamp on the car was lightly touched by him and made a crisp sound. This sound was the most obvious.
Among all the people, only that person glanced at them from a distance, like the entire convoy was full of ghosts, and only one living person noticed them; and like a group of fairies, who did not tolerate mortals in their eyes, only one of them was right.
They felt pity, so they looked at them from afar.
But why is this immortal so special to them?
The people in Baicaotang felt a little confused, but the look that the man turned around already made their hearts swell. That look made them feel inexplicably excited. They didn't know why. It seemed like they were being attracted by someone in this life.
It's impossible to feel like the people you meet suddenly notice.
The curtain was quickly lowered. Although the team seemed to have no end, it actually moved very quickly, disappearing in just tens of seconds. It was like a fish that suddenly swam over.
And suddenly slipped through the fingers.
Everyone in Baicaotang was still standing at the door. Perhaps they were still nostalgic for the carriage that had not completely disappeared, so they didn't think of leaving.
The scholar in Tsing Yi quickly thought about the symbol that had just appeared on the carriage. This symbol seemed familiar to him, and he vaguely remembered that the flower pattern used to be very similar to the flower boat pattern on the Qinhuai River. But Yi Linglong and the flower boat were different.
When did they hook up? He had never heard of two people intersecting before that?
He mentally recalled the information he had about Yi Linglong - not long after Yi Linglong escaped from Tianyi Tower, he appeared once on the Qinhuai River and was seriously injured. Then Yi Linglong disappeared for a long time.
, During this period of time, no matter how hard the scholar in Tsing Yi tried, he could not find any trace of Yi Linglong.
But today the scholar in Tsing Yi found a breakthrough here - he discovered that Yi Linglong was actually connected with Hua Chuan. In other words, Yi Linglong resolutely joined Hua Chuan shortly after coming out of Tianyi Building.
This was something that shocked his mind. He felt that he had accidentally discovered a shocking secret. And thinking about it again, the scholar in Tsing Yi suddenly couldn't confirm whether Yi Linglong joined the flower boat after escaping from Tianyi Building or paid for the flower boat.
Exited Tianyi Building.
His mind was shaking because of his discovery, and he could hardly calm down and think about anything else. At this time, Xiao Han suddenly closed the door, and then came over to them mysteriously and said: "Did you see it? See it?"
No! These are the people I told you about during the day! Are they serious?"
"Amazing, amazing." The scholar in Tsing Yi said speechlessly, "I saved your life just now."
"I saved your life, right?" Xiao Han turned his head and said dissatisfied.
"I'm different." The scholar in Tsing Yi told the truth, "As long as I want to leave, I can leave anytime and anywhere."
His words seemed to deserve a beating, so Xiao Han rolled his eyes at him and then went to the lobby. Several other people saw his actions and followed him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to go outside and take a look. Is everything okay outside now?" Xiao Han said, "Go and find out what happened to the killer just now. I heard him say something just now, and then there was no movement."
"You think too much, and you've probably been tied up a long time ago." The scholar in Tsing Yi said, "Even if you weren't tied up, you wouldn't be able to deal with it."
"Who are you looking down on?" Xiao Han looked disdainful, holding up the relit lamp in his hand and pulling the door bolt open, "Even if the killer of Tianyi Tower stands in front of me, I still..."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped because he bumped into someone head-on.
This man was still feeling the air-conditioning outside, was wearing dark clothes, and was not holding a lantern or anything like that.
In this silent night, Leng Buding took a look and saw the man standing there gloomily opposite, which shocked people.
Xiao Han bit his saliva and recognized that the person in front of him was Hua Rongyue.
"Brother Rong Yue!"
Li Jingyi's eyes lit up, and Wan Fulian also said excitedly, "Where were you just now?"
When they saw Hua Rongyue, they suddenly had a backbone. After all, Xiao Han was really unreliable, but Hua Rongyue was a person who could always make people feel at ease.
Xiao Han, who was a little scared just now, breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing that this person was Hua Rongyue.
He didn't care about anything else. After the fright just now, he had a little too much adrenaline in his body, so he spoke more hastily than usual, "Where were you just now? Did you know that something big happened? You usually always talk.
Bragging yourself to be reliable, where were you at such a critical time? Did you see that convoy on the street just now?"
Hua Rongyue, who was outside the door, took a step forward. When she was outside the door, half of her body was still hidden in the darkness, making her look inexplicably gloomy.
After stepping into the room, her whole body was illuminated by candlelight, and she slowly revealed her familiar face, with a familiar and gentle smile on her face, and she was holding a small child in her hand.
Small gourd.
The scholar in Tsing Yi stood far away at the end, saying nothing, just looking at Hua Rongyue quietly.
Amid everyone's questions, Hua Rongyue walked in with a chill all over her body, and then placed the gourd in her hand on the table.
"I went outside to get some drinks." Hua Rongyue said with a smile that looked very embarrassed. "I was awake alone, and suddenly I felt a strong urge to drink. It happened that the store was out of stock, so I went out to buy some.
"
She looked around again at the people crowded in the lobby, with a surprised and confused expression, which looked so real in the eyes of everyone.
Chapter completed!
