Lan Xun turned back in confusion, and sure enough, he saw a white cloth hanging in the depths of the corridor, which was blown back and forth by the bitter wind and rain outside.
"Hey, it's strange, who hung a white cloth here, and he wasn't afraid of touching the taboo."
As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the dark corner, but as soon as she took two steps, her hand was grabbed by Yun Jin from behind, and Yun Jin's palms were full of sweat, spreading an inexplicable panic to her body.
"Sister Yunjin" "Don't talk, let's go."
Yun Jin's voice was tense, and her body was also tense, she grabbed Lan Xun, turned her head and walked towards the outside of the corridor.
"Sister Yunjin, the rain hasn't stopped yet, besides, the cloth is still there" "That's not cloth."
Yun Jin's voice was very small, completely buried by the sound of the rain.
"What?"
Lan Xun didn't know why, so he asked again.
"That's not" "Hee-hee-hee-hee" Before Yun Jin could finish his words, he was interrupted by several sounds of laughter, which came from the corridor behind, and seemed to come from different people, some farther away from them, some closer, some above, and some seemed to be at their heels Lan Xun was so shocked that he wanted to turn around, but his hand was suddenly clenched by Yun Jin.
"Don't look back, don't look, if you see their true faces, their lives will be taken away by them."
Yun Jin knew that Lan Xun was timid, and if she saw something following her, she would be so frightened that she couldn't walk, so she couldn't turn back no matter what.
But she herself was not much better, her legs and feet were weak, and she was covered in cold sweat, if she hadn't supported Lan Xun with each other, I am afraid that she would have collapsed on the ground long ago.
Yes, where is a white cloth hanging on the beam, it is a few little people in white clothes and white hats, thin eyebrows and thin eyes.
They were strung together, one pulling the other's toes, swaying like swings, and laughing at each other with shrill voices.
At first, Yun Jin didn't notice them like Lan Xun, after all, the rain was heavy, the sound of wind and rain obscured everything, and the darkness around the corner made it difficult to tell what the long string of things was.
But the little man at the bottom suddenly noticed that someone was looking at them, so he turned his face around, and after quietly staring at Yun Jin for a while, he actually smiled at her.
There was no warmth in that smile, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were cold that could penetrate his heart, so frightened that Yun Jin almost screamed on the spot.
Although she didn't know what those little people were, she also understood that they were by no means good, so she could only pretend not to see them, and tried her best to hold Lan Xun away.
However, her disguise was easily recognized The sound of laughter followed closely behind the two, getting closer and louder, although Lan Xun had never seen the appearance of those little people, he was also so frightened that his soul was gone, his nails were deeply embedded in Yun Jin's flesh, and his body twitched slightly.
Suddenly, a small, pointed head poked out from behind the pillars in front of it, with slender and straight eyebrows and eyes that seemed to have been drawn with a brush, and a pointed hat on top of his head, exactly the same as the burlap hat worn at the funeral.
It looked at the two palace maids who were so frightened that they couldn't walk, grinned and didn't know what to say, and the corners of their mouths suddenly lifted, revealing the bright red tongue inside.
"Ahh The fear in Lan Xun's heart finally reached the boiling point at this moment, she let out a long, shrill scream, let go of Yun Jin's hand and ran towards the outside of the corridor.
Seeing this, the little people who were still laughing suddenly quieted down, glanced at each other, and then rushed into the pouring rain, chasing the increasingly blurred back in the distance.
Yun Jin stood in place, her soul seemed to float out of the sky, and when she finally came back to her senses, Lan Xun and those little people were long gone, and in front of her, only a gray patch remained, and the sky and the rain pillar seemed to merge together, unable to distinguish each other.
She shuddered, walked out of the corridor in a few steps, and ran forward while calling Lan Xun's name, she hoped that she could meet a few palace people patrolling at this moment, but her chest hurt from running, and she didn't see half a figure.
Just when Yun Jin was almost desperate, there was a slight sound of footsteps in his ears.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle" Just behind the looming rock in front of her left, the voice was small, but she could hear it clearly.
Yun Jin was overjoyed, shouted for help and ran in that direction, seeing that he was about to come to the stone, but his feet suddenly stepped on the air, his body was crooked, and the whole person fell into the water with a "plop".
The moment her head was submerged in the water, she suddenly remembered that this was Feihua Pool, which was freshly chiseled out, not big, but more than a foot deep, just because she was too flustered, and the heavy rain blocked it, so she didn't notice it.
Yun Jin didn't know how to swim in the water, and after a few consecutive splashes, her body was getting farther and farther away from the shore, and she swam up with all her might, desperately slapping the water, and shouting for help.
But after shouting a few times, he drank a few sips of water, and his throat was blocked by aquatic plants, and he couldn't spit it out.
Just when she was half discouraged and thought that she was going to die in this pool, she suddenly saw a tall figure climb over the mountain rock and walk to the edge of the pool, take off the sword at his waist and hand it to her.
"Grab it."
There was undisputed firmness in the man's voice.
Yun Jin was overjoyed, reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and was dragged to the shore little by little, and was pulled up by the man.
She hugged her arms and trembled for a while, and then she saw clearly that it was the king of Jin who saved her life, and she couldn't help but quickly kneel, kowtow again and again, and thanked her for her kindness.
Zhao Kang stared at her for a while, then lowered his head and asked, "You are the palace maid next to the imperial sister-in-law, why did you fall into this Feihua Pool?"
” Yun Jin thought of Lan Xun, and said what he had just encountered from beginning to end with a crying voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Kang's eyebrows gradually tightened, and he squinted at Yun Jin and said softly, "There must be no strange power in the palace, you have been serving by the imperial sister-in-law for so long, you won't even understand this truth." ” Hearing him say this, Yun Jin lowered his body, "The slave and maid know, but today this matter is really strange, the slave and Lan Xun both saw those pickled things, and Lan Xun disappeared in this back garden, the slave and maid have been looking for her for a long time, but still haven't found her, what the slave and maid said is true, and please His Royal Highness the King of Jin to be aware of everything, don't wronged the slave and maid." ” Seeing her like this, Zhao Kang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "You wait here, this king will go to find Lan Xun, if she is consistent with you, it will be fine, otherwise, this king will let the imperial sister-in-law punish you." ”
