Chapter 617: Isn’t that just a corpse floating in the air?
The crowd walked slowly forward on the damp, narrow and low stone path.
Li Qingluo was still being closely guarded by Que'er and Nanny Zheng, one in front and one behind, so that she couldn't even walk with big strides, and instead had difficulty walking all the way.
She looked at the two of them helplessly: "Can you please let me walk on my own?"
Que'er and Madam Zheng rejected her in unison: "No!"
Madam Zheng gently advised, "Miss, what if you get hurt?"
"Let this old servant help you."
Que'er: "That's right, young lady, I will never let you go!"
Zhui Yu, who was walking in front, looked back again.
Are their behaviors today a little too strange?
As soon as he narrowed his eyes, he met Li Qingluo's eyes.
Li Qingluo smiled slightly.
"Kill three, take Que'er away!"
Sha San didn't dare to disobey the order and quickly stepped forward to grab Que'er.
He held on tightly and refused to let go, preventing her from going forward and pestering the girl again.
"Kill you! You idiot, let me go!"
Sha San: "I'm sorry, Que'er, I have to listen to you."
Que'er stamped her feet in anger: "What do you know?"
"The girl, she is..."
Que'er was warned by Li Qingluo's eyes. Her face turned red but she didn't dare to tell the truth. She could only step hard on the back of Sha San's foot.
Sha Sanmian remained expressionless and didn't let go.
Que'er was so angry that she was speechless. "Don't you feel any pain?"
Kill Three: "It hurts."
Que'er laughed angrily: "You have no expression or reaction even when you're in pain?"
Kill three and don't speak.
Que'er felt like he had punched cotton.
She stood on tiptoe and approached Sha San Erduo: "Are you going to listen to me or the girl?"
"I won't hurt the girl, will I?"
"We're about to get married, can't you just obey me for once?"
Sha San stared at Que'er and said, "Que'er, I love you."
His sudden confession shocked Que'er.
Then his face turned red, and he stammered before he could say anything, "But between you and the girl, I will still listen to the girl first."
"Feel sorry."
"You too, I suppose?"
Que'er was left speechless by him.
Although what he said was the truth, it was still so infuriating!
Seeing the girl walking further and further away, Que'er was so angry that she pushed Sha San hard on the chest.
Before Sha San could fall backwards, he was pushed by a force and fell heavily towards Que'er.
Sha San quickly reached out to support the wall behind him and protect Que'er's head. Although the two of them hugged each other tightly, fortunately no accidents occurred.
Sha San and Que'er were not angry yet, but they were pushed over by a group of Shas from behind.
Everyone winked at them, looking like they were enjoying the fun, which made Que'er and Sha San speechless, yet helpless.
If there are twenty-seven people killed, twenty-six of them will still be bachelors.
On this side, Li Qingluo finally got rid of one of them and pushed Nanny Zheng forward quickly.
Zhui Yu came and squeezed behind her.
"Girls, are you hiding something from me?"
After Zhuiyu completely let go of Que'er, he seemed to have become a lot smarter.
Before Li Qingluo could answer, Qin Ling suddenly shouted, "Look! There's a body!"
There is a dark river around the corner.
Isn’t that a dead body floating in the river?
And judging from their clothes, they are definitely from Daliang.
However, no one knows how long the corpse has been floating there, and it emits a foul stench.
In an instant, everyone felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Li Qingluo couldn't help it first, turned around and lay aside and started vomiting.
After a while, he vomited all over his face.
Nanny Zheng patted her back distressedly: "Miss, my God, Miss..."
Qin Ling squeezed over and stuffed something into her hand.
"Put on the veil, then quickly put this thing in front of your nose. It will feel better if you smell it."
Li Qingluo nodded and did as instructed, and indeed felt much better.
But after vomiting just now, she felt a lot weaker.
So this is what morning sickness feels like.
It's really not a very comfortable feeling.
She had just taken two steps forward when her foot suddenly slipped. Before Nanny Zheng could react, another hand reached out from the side.
"Be careful--!"
Li Qingluo was also surprised.
The person who reached out to him was actually Li Yunchu.
"Thank you...thank you."
Li Yunchu was being stared at by everyone, and she felt uncomfortable, so she shook her hands and quickly moved forward.
Even Qin Ling was confused and hurried to catch up.
"Madam, wait for me, Madam——"
Nanny Zheng supported Li Qingluo with lingering fear.
"Girl, she's not up to anything bad, is she?"
"Don't believe her!"
"She's not a good person! After all, she was born to Aunt Deng!"
Li Qingluo: "Let's go."
Li Yunchu waited for Qin Ling to catch up and quickly explained, "I'm not trying to curry favor with her."
Qin Ling: "Haha, my lady, thank you for your hard work."
"I know everything. My wife is willing to endure all the hardships for me."
"We still have to live under the same roof with her for at least a year. We'll see each other every day. Thank you for your willingness to lower your head for me."
"Be kind to her, and our lives will be easier. You saw today that she never harms her own people."
"We were given all those precious poison-repelling pills just like that."
"I've seen it, and even I can't replicate that thing yet... In the end, Luo Fan is still more skilled."
Qin Ling seemed a little disappointed.
Li Yunchu didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that the reason she followed Qin Ling back to see Li Qingluo, and even offered her a hand to help her, was because of the "Auntie" that Li Qingluo had accidentally said...
In her heart, do I really consider myself her aunt?
After walking for about an incense stick of time, there was a fork in the road.
"Girl, shall we go left or right?"
The choice came to Li Qingluo.
She first looked at the direction of the water flow.
To the right is upstream.
To the left is downstream.
Li Qingluo: "If Nanping is really still here, she will definitely go downstream."
“Only downstream can there be an outlet.”
Without further delay, everyone turned left and continued down.
Soon they came to a slightly open and flat shallow area and found some traces of people having been there.
"Girl, here's a shoe!"
And it's a women's shoe.
"Here is the red hairpin."
"Why does this look like a shortbread?"
Everyone picked up the things scattered on the ground.
Naturally, it was strange. How could these things be scattered here and no one pick them up?
"No one picked it up. Could it be that the princess... met with an accident?"
Sha Si said something, and was slapped in the face by Sha Er.
"You crow's mouth, hurry up and spit!"
Sha Si glanced at the girl's face, then quickly turned around and said "Pooh" loudly a few times.
Li Qingluo's expression had grown serious: "Everyone, search the area."
Nanny Zheng came up to comfort Li Qingluo: "Don't worry, young lady, we will find him eventually. Whether he is alive or dead..."
Que'er was worried: "If these more than a hundred people are still alive and hiding here, we can definitely see their shadows, right?"
"But we came across a dead body, still soaked in water, and it had already rotted away."
"What if Liu Li deceived us..."
Madam Zheng: "Stop talking!"
She glared at Que'er, scolding her for not knowing how to read the girl's expression.
"Miss, Princess Nanping must have guards with strong martial arts skills around her, so it doesn't necessarily mean something has happened."
"To put it bluntly, if something bad really happened, we'd at least be able to see something."
Before Li Qingluo could answer, Sha Wu touched something again.
"Huh? It seems like I can move here again?"
He tried to twist, but before he could react, his feet were empty.
"what--"
Sha Wu screamed and rolled down.
"Kill five!"
Everyone rushed forward, but no one could catch Shawu.
The empty black wind was blowing in from below, so how could there be any sound?
"Kill five!"
"Kill five?"
Sha Yi shouted a few more times.
However, there was no response except dead silence.
Everyone's heart sank.
Li Qingluo's face turned pale: "If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"
"try to find!"
Sha Yi was about to go down first: "Let my subordinates go first!"
He turned around and was about to go down the cave, but the entrance suddenly closed with a loud bang.
Fortunately, Sha San was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he pressed down the stone that Sha Wu had pressed.
The hole then slowly slid open again.
Kill One turned over and crawled into the cave, followed by Kill Two.
But after the two of them left for a while, there was no sound.
Everyone's faces became more and more ugly, and then Sha San and Sha Si also asked to go down.
Li Qingluo said, "If anyone wants to go down, I'll be the one to go down."
"I am your master."
"Not only do you protect me, I also want to protect you."
"Everyone, do not disobey orders!"
After saying that, she sat directly at the entrance of the cave.
This frightened Madam Zheng so much that she almost lost her soul.
He rushed forward and hugged her tightly: "Girl, you can't do this!"
"Let the old slave go!"
"I am willing to die, but I will never let you take any risks, young lady!"
"Girl, you have to take care of other things besides your own body, right?"
"Girl, just listen to me!"
Que'er was also anxious and at a loss.
Li Qingluo just pushed their hands away forcefully.
"okay."
"I'm not that fragile yet."
"Don't worry, Mammy. I know what's going on."
"Kill three, kill four, and get Mammy and Que'er away!"
"Zhuiyu, you come with me."
After saying that, Li Qingluo held his head with one hand and protected his stomach with the other and slid down.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhuiyu hurriedly followed.
He didn't try to stop Li Qingluo, but he heard Qin Ling yelling furiously from behind, "Nonsense! How can you still be so ridiculous?"
"Li Qingluo, you'd better come up quickly—"
"You are so reckless in danger that even I, a great immortal, cannot save you!!"
"You're going to piss me off—"
However, Li Qingluo had already made up his mind to slide down, and soon he could no longer hear any sound behind him.
It's like the people above can't hear the sounds below.
All noises are blocked out!
In the dark tunnel, Li Qingluo continued to slide down, and Zhuiyu followed silently behind.
Both of them were a little nervous, not knowing what was underneath the dark tunnel, or even how long it was.
"girl!"
Suddenly Zhui Yu grabbed Li Qingluo's shoulders.
"and many more."
“There seems to be a sound.”
Li Qingluo also heard it.
The sound seemed very close, yet very far away.
"Boom-thump-"
The sound was clearly that of a heavy object hitting the stone wall again and again.
who is it?
Or rather... what is it and where is it hitting?
