Nightmare Attack

"Brother Jiang, I know you are companions, but this kind of thing cannot be taken lightly. If you find it difficult, I can..."

Before Tang Qisheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Cheng, "You're overthinking, and you're right. This kind of thing has to be investigated as it relates to whether everyone can survive.

After hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Tang Qisheng finally felt relieved, and then the two discussed that Jiang Cheng would call Li Bai into the room, while Tang Qisheng was responsible for preparing the incense ashes.

Fortunately, Tang Qisheng had a few sticks of incense on him, which they brought from the Hou Mansion.

There were no candles in the room, and the environment was very dark. The incense ash was spread so thinly behind the threshold that you wouldn't notice it unless you looked carefully.

After the preparations were completed, Jiang Cheng called Fatty and asked him to work with Yao, Shun and Yu to find a way to call Li Bai over.

Soon, Li Bai followed the fat man into the door. When Li Bai crossed the threshold, Jiang Cheng's heart finally fell into his stomach.

After entering the door, Li Bai didn't notice the incense ashes at all. This was what Jiang Cheng was most worried about. If Li Bai really found the incense ashes in the hidden place, it would arouse his suspicion. After all, he didn't think the real Li Bai could do it. at this point.

Li Bai couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw everyone in the room, and immediately explained: "I don't know why they care about me so much. I have tried to find out what they are talking about, but these people are very tight-lipped and have not disclosed any useful information." , they must have some conspiracy to treat me well.

Yao Shunyu, who was standing by the door, nodded to Jiang Cheng, which meant that there was nothing wrong with the incense ash behind the door, and Li Bai's shoe prints were clearly printed on it.

There are two shoe prints in total, the other one is that of the fat man.

"Li Bai, don't think too much, we believe you are fine." Jiang Cheng spoke to calm her nervousness, and at the same time helped her analyze: "You are right, they may have some plot against you, we must find out At this point, all of us are here to help you get through this."

"Now we need you to cooperate with us. Later you will find an opportunity to lure those people away. We will find a way to enter Grandpa's room to check the painting."

Li Bai agreed. Everyone was hungry and ate some simple food in the room. These were all dry food brought from the Hou Mansion, and even water was stored in water bags.

Shao Tong took a bite of the hard cake, swallowed his saliva, and said with a strange smile: "These fishermen in the backcountry are so rich, they actually eat white rice openly. Life in the Hou Mansion is not so comfortable."

Now the fat man's face changed, and even the cake in his mouth no longer tasted good. Only then did he realize the reason why the doctor didn't move Tachyon.

In this era, no one has enough to eat, and rice is even more precious. Even the prince's mansion is no more. Where can the poor people in the fishing village get the money to buy rice? And each person opened a large bowl to eat?

"Is there something wrong with this... this rice?" The fat man realized in hindsight.

Tang Qisheng put down the water bag and said quietly with a cold face: "It's not just the rice that has a problem, I think the entire martial arts village has a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Shunyu, who was guarding behind the door, made a sign of silence. A few seconds later a figure came to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, "outsiders, are you busy?"

Yao and Shunyu opened the door. Standing outside the door was a woman in her early 40s. The woman had dark skin, but a pair of shrewd eyes. She glanced past everyone, and finally fell on Li Bai. He said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb you all from eating. , Miss Li, are you busy? My grandma misses you very much. The story you told her just now made her very happy. Hey! I haven’t seen her for a long time since her beloved granddaughter left. So happy."

Jiang Cheng stood up and said politely: "Since the old man is happy, then Li Bai, if you have time, please spend more time with the old man and walk with him more."

Li Bai nodded very naturally, and then the woman grabbed his wrist and left. From the beginning to the end, the woman's focus was on Li Bai and she almost turned a blind eye to other people.

There were still a few people gathered outside the door. Seeing Li Bai appear, the tense faces of these people relaxed, as if they were worried that Li Bai would run away.

"Damn it, you're so damn haunted." The fat man cursed inwardly. The people outside were like wandering ghosts, staring at Li Bai, which was already a bit scary.

"Without further delay, let's take action as soon as possible." Tang Qisheng couldn't wait to say: "Brother Jiang and I will find an opportunity to sneak into the room to look at the paintings, and the rest will help us attract the attention of the villagers. Is that okay?"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Tang Qisheng turned around and prepared to take action, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng the next second, "Wait a minute."

Tang Qisheng turned to look at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng pointed to the ashes on the ground with a smile and said in a natural tone: "Nothing else. Since Brother Fugui and Li Bai have tried it, we should all try it too, so that everyone can feel at ease."

Jiang Cheng understands the truth of darkness under the lamp better than anyone else. Although Tang Qisheng proposed stepping on incense ashes, whoever can guarantee him will have no problem. According to Jiang Cheng, Tang Qisheng, who suddenly discovered so many doubts, is the most suspicious.

Unknowingly, Yao, Shunyu and Fatty blocked the door to the left and right, Zhang Qizheng also stood beside Jiang Cheng, Shao Tong watched the fun by himself, Zhu Jie's expression became tense, and the atmosphere was clearly not right.

Tang Qisheng walked forward obediently and stepped firmly on the incense ashes. Zhu Jie followed closely behind. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing two clear footprints.

Then Jiang Cheng and others came forward one after another, and everyone's footprints were fine.

It is not a good thing to doubt teammates. After discovering that Tang Qisheng was indeed fine, Fatty suddenly felt a little embarrassed and was worried that it would cause a gap in the team. However, what he did not expect was that instead of being annoyed, Tang Qisheng nodded with satisfaction, " No wonder Brother Jiang has been able to make it all the way to this point. He is really awesome. In the next mission, the two of us will only follow your lead."

Jiang Cheng waved his hands quickly, laughed and laughed at himself: "Everything is just a little cleverness. It can't compare to Mr. Tang's real talent and learning. He is inherently lacking in ability. If he had been careless, he might have died." Later, the conversation changed. , his tone became more serious, "But if Mr. Tang can trust me, I believe we will cooperate happily."

After the crisis of trust was resolved, the entire team began to operate like a sophisticated instrument, with everyone performing their duties.

Li Bai gathered the villagers together, and everyone was chatting happily. Some of the remaining people were responsible for keeping watch near the courtyard gate, while others picked up brooms and cleaned not far from Grandpa's room. In fact, they were keeping watch, while Tang Qisheng from Jiangcheng secretly Sneaking behind the wall on the other side of Grandpa's room, after making sure it was safe, he opened the window and jumped in.

The room was very dark. Listening to the chatter and laughter coming from outside the door from time to time, Jiang Cheng turned on the light on his mobile phone. The light swept across and the painting hanging on the wall became more and more weird. The Xiuling on the painting was vivid, as if talking to him. They laugh.
