"Ghost house?" Ye Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the two words coming out of his mouth. "What is that place?"
"It's not convenient to talk here." He Tang looked around, indicating that the walls had ears.
Ye Meng glanced around and found that the waiter who was pouring tea for others seemed to be walking around casually, but he was approaching them from time to time, as if he was trying to find out what they were talking about.
"Let's go." Ye Meng got up and pulled Qi Lu up from the table. He Tang went up to support him and the two of them carried him upstairs with difficulty.
After making sure that there was no one outside, Ye Meng closed the door and clapped her hands. She glared at Qi Lu Wu and slept like a pig.
"Is Miss Ye staying in the same room as Brother Qi?”He Tang placed Qi Lu on the bed and carefully covered him with the blanket before looking around. He found that their luggage was in the same place.
"What? " This…" Ye Meng, who had forgotten about it, suddenly felt a little awkward when she heard He Tang's question. It was already strange enough that she slept in the same room as Qi Lu, and now He Tang had found out. Speaking of which, she was really a little embarrassed to say it.
Although Ye Meng wasn't a shy person, it was still easy for people to misunderstand, especially in front of He Tang. She didn't know why she felt even more embarrassed in front of He Tang.
"Isn't this question a little abrupt?”He Tang realized that she was silent and did not answer. He quickly realized that he had asked something he should not have asked. However, he felt a little disappointed and unhappy.
"No, no." Ye Meng knew that he must have misunderstood something, so she quickly waved her hand. "Actually, Qi Lu said it wasn't safe here, so he squeezed in the same room with me to protect me. He only sleeps on the floor."
"I see. Brother Qi's martial arts are so good, and it's indeed not safe here. Brother Qi's actions are actually understandable. It's just that Miss Ye has been wronged." He Tang nodded after hearing her explanation.
"It's alright." Ye Meng nodded awkwardly and tucked her long hair behind her back. She lowered her eyes and stuck out her tongue. Actually, she did not feel wronged at all. Instead, Qi Lu had to sleep on the floor every day.
However, when it came to protection, Ye Meng thought of the situation last night and felt that it was better if there was no one guarding. Although Qi Lu had explained it to her later on. However, it was too dangerous yesterday. If Qi Lu had been a second or two late, she would have lost her life.
"Thank you, Miss Ye, for being willing to tell me so much.”He Tang suddenly smiled. There was a gentle smile on his face, and he looked really happy.
"What?" Ye Meng was stunned by his sudden gratitude. Did she say something just now? Didn't she just explain why she wanted to share a room with Qi Lu?
However, what she did not know was that this explanation made Qi Lu feel especially at ease because it meant that she was willing to treat him as a friend and was willing to tell him.
Thinking of this, He Tang only felt a slight warmth in his heart. After so many years, this was the first time he had met such an interesting woman. It was also the first time he cared about someone's words and deeds.
"Forget it, let's talk about the ghost house.”Ye Meng didn't know what He Tang was thinking. She just wanted to skip the awkward atmosphere.
"Oh, right, right, right." He Tang nodded quickly. He had been so curious about why the two of them were staying in the same room that he had almost forgotten about the main business.
"Actually, the so-called ghost house was just something I accidentally discovered when I was looking for medicine.”As He Tang spoke, he recalled the scene at that time. He originally wanted to go to the nearby mountain to look for herbs because the condition of the patient he treated suddenly worsened. He only planned to go down the mountain when it was almost dark. However, when he was walking on a small path, he noticed a few sneaky figures in front of him.
"What happened after that?" Ye Meng asked.
" Then..." The scene at that time appeared in Lotus Pond's mind.
It was dusk, and the sky was very dark. He Tang was walking down a small path down the mountain. His slender figure was stretched infinitely, and the hem of his clothes brushed against the branches and leaves that stretched out, making a rustling sound. Not far away was a relatively wide road, but there were not many people at this time.
He Tang looked at the sky and felt that he should hurry back. Otherwise, the patient's family might be worried. Moreover, the patient's condition was still very unstable. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve and was about to continue walking. At this moment, a few black figures quickly passed by in front of him. He Tang, who was very sensitive, immediately felt that something was wrong. He did not think too much and quickly squatted down.
A few people in black pushed a carriage, and a large square box was tied to the carriage. The box looked very ordinary, just like a gray wooden box. There was a ring-shaped box ear hanging from one side, but it was unknown what was inside. From time to time, a crisp "ding" sound would be emitted. The man in black was extremely careful when transporting the goods. He looked around from time to time to make sure that no one was following him.
He Tang immediately felt that something was very wrong. He did not make any movements. He just squatted there and waited to see which direction they would go.
The carriage slowly moved up, looking unusually strange in the dark dusk. He Tang looked at the direction and guessed that it seemed to be the way up the mountain. He felt that it was strange.
He remembered that when he was about to go up the mountain to look for the medicine, the patient's son had specially instructed him: They definitely couldn't go up that mountain. Although he didn't know why, and He Tang was definitely not a timid person, he didn't go there for the sake of safety and because the herbs he was looking for didn't need to go up the mountain.
However, the few sneaky men in black had piqued his curiosity.
In addition, he had more or less heard about some strange things in East County before. He immediately felt that it might have something to do with these people. He also felt that the place they were going to might be their nest.
Immediately, he carefully took a shortcut and followed. Through the long grass that was half the height of a person, He Tang found that something seemed to have fallen from the wooden box. It was round and the size of a copper coin. It was not conspicuous on the yellow mountain road, and because it was a little far away, he was not particularly sure what it was.
After the few people walked a little further away, He Tang bent over to see what was on the ground. Suddenly, a figure flashed past. When he looked back, there was nothing. The crisp chirping of birds came from afar. Grasshoppers jumped in the grass and made rustling sounds. Everything was strangely quiet. A gust of wind blew past, and the long grass and leaves on the mountain lowered their heads and swayed. They rustled, and it was as if he was the only one left on the entire mountain.
However, He Tang did not think that the figure just now was his illusion. He carefully retreated and paid attention to his surroundings. The hands buried in his sleeves were tightly clenched.
It was the powder that he used for self-defense.
At this moment, a black figure was slowly approaching him from behind. The dagger in his hand flashed with a strange light in the dusk. Only a pair of ferocious eyes could be seen on his covered face, emitting a fierce killing intent.
The two of them got closer and closer. At this time, the eyes of the man in black flashed as he raised the dagger in his hand and was about to stab He Tang's fair neck. Just as he was about to succeed, He He Tang, who had not reacted at all, suddenly turned around and easily dodged. The medicine basket on his back was taken off and thrown to the side. A few herbs were thrown out and fell on the grass at the side.
"Hmm?" The man in black did not react for a moment. He looked at He Tang with a little more doubt in his eyes, as if he did not expect that the man who had not reacted earlier would suddenly dodge his attack easily. However, the killer was still a killer. In the next moment, he reacted quickly and was about to stab him again.
Before the tip of the dagger could touch the other party, He Tang waved his hand, and his plain sleeves drew an arc in the air. The black-clothed man only felt a white fog in front of him. The hand holding the dagger suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his pupils constricted. In the next moment, he fell straight back. The dagger fell to the side as it crushed a patch of long grass.
After making sure that he had completely collapsed, He Tang squatted down to see who this person was. He reached out and pulled off the black cloth covering his face, revealing his tanned face. He Tang frowned, and his blue eyes seemed dark and deep in the darkening sky. Who were these people? What kind of place was this mountain?
What exactly was in that big wooden box?
Countless questions swirled in He Tang's mind. He looked in the direction where the men in black had left, as if he was thinking about something. Just as he was about to get up, a pair of rough hands suddenly landed on his shoulders...
He Tang turned around reflexively and grabbed the man's hand with one hand. The other hand was filled with three needles that had been injected with anesthetics. He pressed them against the man's throat.
He Tang opened his eyes, but he did not continue to move. The silver needle stopped. He saw that the person had thick eyebrows, big eyes, rough and slightly dark skin, and a silly face. The free hand waved at him repeatedly with a frightened expression."Doctor He, it's me, Da Zhuang."
"Dazhuang?" It turned out to be the youngest son of the patient he was treating. After seeing who it was, He Tang let go of his guard and put away the silver needle with an apologetic expression."I'm sorry. Did I scare you just now?”
"It's fine, it's fine. It was my fault for scaring Doctor He." Da Zhuang was an honest and shy person. When he saw He Tang apologizing to him, he quickly waved his hand and giggled, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Hey, who is Doctor He?”Da Zhuang scratched his head. When he saw the man in black lying on the ground, he squatted down curiously and wanted to poke him with his hand." Is he still alive?”
"Don't touch him." He Tang quickly stopped him. The powder that he had just sprinkled had probably not dissipated yet. He was worried that if Da Zhuang touched him blindly, he would accidentally inhale the powder.
" But he..." Da Zhuang stood up and pointed at that person worriedly. His natural kindness and honesty made him very worried about this person's condition.
"It's alright." He Tangchao shook his head, indicating that he did not need to worry. "He's just unconscious. Besides, this person isn't a good person.”
"I see." Da Zhuang nodded, indicating that he understood.
He Tang nodded and was about to pick up the medicine basket on the side and carry it on his back when he suddenly thought of something. He asked,"Da Zhuang, why are you here?"?”
"Oh, this." Burly looked around and realized that the sky, which had been dim just a moment ago, was now almost dark. He suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed,"Oh no, we haven't gone back yet. My mother is definitely going to die of anxiety.”
