Chapter 23 The Stone House in the Sea
In Wangyue Tower, Shen Yurong looked at the slight wounds on Bei Xingyao's body in a daze. Bei Xingyao quickly wrapped up the wounds, stood up and wanted to jump out of the window.
"Did you get injured in the fight with Junior Brother Mei?" Shen Yurong asked with a narrow expression.
"Yeah." came Bei Xingyao's casual voice.
"Ah Dai's kung fu has improved." Shen Yurong said with a deliberate smile. Bei Xingyao felt a little angry in his heart, so he turned around and flew out of the window without saying a word.
"Ah Yao! You were very cute when you were little!" Shen Yurong shouted at his figure.
Bei Xingyao fell out of the window. When he heard these words, he twisted his feet and almost lost his balance. Thinking of Shen Yurong holding him as a baby every day, he blushed to the root of his neck, but he couldn't help but smile.
On an island on the coast of the East China Sea, Mingzhu felt her whole body stiff and struggled to wake up. She found that she was not in her own clam shell, but on a stone bed in a stone house in a strange place. Her clothes were messy and her body was almost...
Nearly naked, surrounded by darkness.
She reached out and groped around, and unexpectedly caught a man's cold hand, with long fingers and clear joints.
She was taken aback and huddled up to a corner of the stone bed.
The man didn't move, he seemed dead.
What happened? She tried to recall that the beautiful and luxurious pearl wedding dress that was messy around her was put on by her grandmother herself. She should have gotten married to her childhood sweetheart, brother Chi Rui.
Just as she was thinking about it, the stone door slowly opened, and the stone house became brightly lit. A tall, thin woman in black clothes and a mask walked in with a little girl about seven or eight years old.
Mingzhu looked at the stone bed in surprise. A man with bright and soft eyebrows was lying next to her naked and motionless. His eyes were open and sparkling, his facial features were handsome and gentle, but his face was pale and bloodless, and his mouth opened and closed.
But no sound could be made.
"Chi Yi, are you satisfied with the wedding night I arranged for you?" the masked woman in black snickered.
When Mingzhu heard her call this man "Chi Yi", her head buzzed as if it was going to explode.
"Senior sister," the little girl on the side looked at the man and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "He hasn't completely recovered from the demon drunk. Can you leave him to me?"
The woman in black glanced at the little girl coldly, then looked at Mingzhu curled up in the corner of the stone bed, and said, "It depends on whether Mrs. Chi is willing or not?"
Before he finished speaking, something seemed to spurt out of the man's eyes. Suddenly, his figure was as fast as a flashing ghost, and he hit the numb holes of the woman in black and the little girl several times. He pulled up the clothes on the stone bed and picked up the girl in the corner.
Mingzhu quickly disappeared into the stone house, and the two people behind him were knocked to the ground.
"Who are you?" Mingzhu came to her senses and asked the man holding her.
"I'm Chi Yi. I can take you home!" Chi Yi was like a ghost walking through the underground stone roads. However, these large and small stone houses and the narrow stone roads were like a huge maze, and it was impossible to find them.
to the way out.
Mingzhu saw small beads of sweat starting to appear on his forehead, "Chi...Brother Chi, please stop first."
Chi Yi glanced at Mingzhu in confusion, and suddenly froze his figure, put down Mingzhu in his arms, and turned his back. Seeing him like this, Mingzhu quickly adjusted the wedding dress that she had just put on her body in a hurry. She put her ears next to each other.
He leaned against the wall, and then climbed up to the stone road and listened. His eyes instantly said firmly, "Brother Chi, this place is at the bottom of the sea. We should go up to escape."
Chi Yi turned his head, his eyebrows were as soft as water waves, but his eyes were suddenly as sharp as the sea wind. He frowned for a moment and thought, said "Okay." and walked straight along the upward stone road.
Mingzhu saw that his expression suddenly turned from warm to cold, she was stunned for a moment and immediately followed him.
The two of them walked along the ascending stone path, and the sound of slight footsteps on the narrow and deserted stone path was particularly clear.
Chi Yi's gaze was so intense that even Mingzhu began to wonder, why was there no one defending such a large stone maze?
Mingzhu pressed against the stone wall and suddenly heard the whistling wind, "Brother Chi..." She suddenly shouted, and a violent seawater rushed into the stone road with a roaring sound, quickly drowning the two people.
No matter how fast Chi Yi was, he couldn't hide or escape. Mingzhu desperately grabbed one of Chi Yi's hands in the turbulent sea water, and opened the switch of the stone house on one side with the other hand.
When a gap was opened in the stone house for one person to enter, Mingzhu stuffed Chi Yi, who was choking on water, into the stone house. She also squeezed into the stone house, quickly opened the switch, and closed the stone door.
The two people fell heavily into the stone house with the sea breeze.
Chi Yi tapped the acupuncture points on her neck and vomited out a lot of seawater. Mingzhu stood up and looked around unharmed. She found that the surroundings were dark and there seemed to be something tripping her. She stretched out her hand to touch it.
"Don't move!" As soon as Chi Yi finished speaking, a bead appeared in his hand, and suddenly the stone house was filled with light.
Mingzhu glanced at the Ye Mingzhu in Chi Yi's hand, and before Chi Yi asked anything, he suddenly discovered that there were four dead mermaids in the stone house where they were.
Two men and two women are located at the four corners of the stone house. The man is handsome and the woman is gorgeous, but their faces are like gray statues, their eyes are empty and filled with an aura of despair.
Mingzhu wanted to confirm whether they were real or fake, so she touched the merman closest to her and touched the finger of his outstretched long arm. Suddenly, the touching finger sent out a spark, which ignited instantly.
.
The mermaid's fingers burned extremely slowly in the firelight, even as if they were not burning, but there was firelight.
The Mingzhu touched the other three mermaids without fear at all, and the light also lit up on them. Chi Yi saw that the stone house was suddenly bright, so he put away the night pearl.
"Brother Chi, are you from the Chi family?" Mingzhu asked suddenly.
"Yeah." Chi Yi replied casually. Mingzhu glanced at her wedding dress, suddenly realized something, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Last night, I just put on a show to escape from there. I didn't touch the girl." Chi Yi explained.
Mingzhu lowered her head and said "hmm" and said nothing again.
Chi Yi approached the four mermaids, two men and two women, and looked at them quietly for a long time, with a trace of sadness flashing in his gentle and indifferent eyes.
Mingzhu looked up at him because of his unusual behavior, and his eyes quickly returned to indifference.
The two people stayed quietly in the stone house for two days and two nights.
It wasn't until the pearl was pressed against the wall of the stone house that the whistling of the sea breeze could no longer be heard, then a small gap was opened in the stone house.
There was no seawater pouring into the stone house. She licked her dry lips and forced a smile: "Brother Chi, we can go out!"
Chi Yi leaned against a wall with a pale face. His long clothes covered his slender body. He looked like a tall and mighty man, but now his lips were dry, his face was bloodless, and his whole body was shivering like a child.
"Brother Chi,..." Mingzhu called him again. She noticed something was wrong with him and wanted to pull him up. As soon as her hand touched his arm, he pulled him into his arms and pinched her tightly with a pair of well-joined hands.
