Chapter 428 Night Market
Soon it was late at night. In the room of Wen Bingyan, she sat at the table, picked up a black cloak and a covered veil and put it on her body. The maid next to her carefully helped her, and asked in a low voice with a bitter face: "Miss, are you really going?"
"It has reached this point, how can I turn back."
Wen Bingyan shook her head gently, her eyes firm.
"Then..." The maid hesitated for a while, and finally bit the bullet and plucked up the courage and said, "Then I will go with the lady too!"
Wen Bingyan looked back at her in surprise, frowned and shook her head, "No! You know how dangerous this time it is. If I don't come back tomorrow morning, you will still convey the news for me..."
However, the maid made up her mind and clenched her fists to encourage herself, "I grew up with the lady since I was a child. How can I leave the lady without paying attention now? Even if you don't agree, I will follow her secretly!"
Wen Bingyan looked at her seriously, and saw that she did not seem to be angry and said such words, and then she smiled helplessly: "Okay..."
Although the two are masters and servants, their relationship is more like sisters, and it is normal for human beings to not let go of it at this moment.
After the maid changed into a suit to cover her appearance, the two of them quietly went downstairs. They were thinking about how to deal with the boss's wife, but it happened that the boss's wife did not seem to be in the store, and they were not afraid that if there were thieves, the tables and chairs in the lobby would be turned back again, and only faint candlelights were lit on the walls on both sides, which seemed quite quiet.
Miss Wen and the other two felt relieved when they saw that the boss's wife had no choice but to breathe a sigh of relief. They walked to the door and opened a gap, wanting to go out as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, the lively scene outside like a bustling city stunned them.
It was clearly late at night. If it weren't for some special festival, most people would have fallen asleep in normal towns. However, this town is completely the opposite at this moment!
There were already many people during the day, but at this moment there were more than twice as many people than during the day!
At a glance, the street was filled with people. Under the white and secluded lanterns hanging around, their faces were as white as paper, with bloodless faces and stiff expressions, just like walking corpses, looking extremely terrifying and weird!
What's even more terrifying is that when they opened the door, everyone outside the door turned their heads and looked at them, with no life in their eyes and no emotional changes. They were really like corpses!
At this moment, both of them were so scared that their hearts were beating for a moment, until everyone's eyes turned around again and continued their previous walking pace, either irritating or slow, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.
"It's so strange here!"
The maid followed Miss Wen and pulled the corner of her clothes tightly, and said uneasy.
Behind him was an inn with no one and a dead silent place, and in front of him was a street with people coming and going but particularly gloomy. Even Wen Bingyan, who had always been calm, felt a little creepy and his heart was a little trembling, let alone the little maid next to him.
At this time, she suddenly understood the reason why the boss's wife had reminded them not to come out at night. If it were someone else who was not mentally prepared, she would probably be frightened by this situation.
But at this time, he naturally couldn't retreat. He gently patted the maid's hand and whispered: "Let's not worry about them, keep going."
"Since this is a place that is extremely close to those monsters, it may be natural to have these strange things."
She was ready before coming, so after a brief panic, she calmed down, then turned her head slightly to look at the maid and persuaded, "If you are afraid, you can go back now."
"No...no!" the maid said without hesitation, holding her hand, "Miss, I will go wherever you go."
Wen Bingyan nodded, held the jade token in his hand, and carefully sensed the message conveyed inside. After slowly determining the direction, the two of them carefully walked through the crowd and headed towards the place where the entrance was.
What surprised her was that although they had gradually moved away from the direction of this town following the guidance, the number of people on this road seemed to be no less than that, but instead there was an increasing trend!
Even after leaving the town, a rugged road spreads into the distance under the dark night. The pedestrians' appearance became more and more strange and even terrifying.
The two of them were walking swaying in front of the left, which seemed to be the boss who sold fish during the day. He was pushing a cart that seemed to be filled with fresh fish in his hand. A big mouth that seemed to be able to easily swallow two adult fists seemed to be half open unconsciously. Sometimes he spit out a few bubbles, making a "gurgling" sound similar to the fish when they were on the shore.
On the right back is a very elderly old man with a crutch, but his hair on his head is fluffy and twisted upwards, and it is strangely green in color, as if he is directly placed on his head. And the cry of the young birds "twittering" inside can be vaguely heard, making it look even more strange.
Even a woman wearing an orange gauze skirt who had just passed by, although she had a good appearance, her figure was indeed round and looked inexplicably cute. Moreover, when the other party exceeded two, Wen Bingyan could clearly see a slender orange cat tail growing behind the other party. She was so scared that her face changed, but she immediately covered her mouth, for fear of shouting to attract other people's attention...
"Little... Miss!"
The little maid next to her had never seen such a strange scene. She trembled and held the corner of her clothes, and her voice changed a little because of fear: "Did you see it? There are all weird people here!"
"Don't make a sound!"
Wen Bingyan tried to lower her voice and comforted her, although her own voice could not stop trembling: "The stranger these people, doesn't it mean that what Miss Bai Yu said is more likely to be true! Then the chance of our success is greater!"
"Um……"
The maid nodded, but shrank her body, not even daring to look up at the strange people.
However, little did not know that when they were worried, the passing ghosts around them also glanced at them from time to time and were also talking in a low voice.
"Hey, look, the two guys there are so strange!"
