Chapter 1823 Strange Sound
Chapter 1823 Strange Sound
Chen Changli and his wife suppressed their excitement and thanked Yang Dashan again, but Yang Dashan said with a straight face: "There is no need to thank you. Just don't tell us about the existence of this place and don't bring danger to us."
Wan Shufang nodded quickly: "The villagers have been very kind to us. No matter how bad my husband and I are, we will never repay our kindness with hatred. Please rest assured, Village Chief, we will keep this a secret and not let outsiders disturb your peace."
Seeing the couple's solemn promise, Yang Dashan nodded and watched them leave. He closed the entrance and turned away until he could no longer see their figures.
Wan Shufang vaguely heard the sound of the entrance closing and sighed slightly: "Although the village chief has made up his mind, he is old, so he is unwilling to bring the villagers out."
"The location of that valley is very special. The villagers living there are not only isolated from the outside world, but also self-sufficient. Moreover, they have long been accustomed to the life there and it is impossible for them to come out." Chen Changli was silent for a moment and then said, "Shufang, let's just treat this as a dream, so as not to accidentally disturb their peace."
"That's exactly what I meant." Wan Shufang felt that Chen Changli and she had the same idea, and the smile on her face suddenly became bright.
But after walking for an hour and still seeing no way out, Wan Shufang began to feel uneasy.
Chen Changli seemed to have sensed something and immediately used various words to divert her attention. After another hour, they felt a bright light coming from the front.
"There is light there. It looks like we are close to the exit." Wan Shufang was surprised and ran towards the direction of the light.
The same thing happened to Chen Changli. The two of them quickly came out towards the light, but found a thorny bush ahead.
Wan Shufang was almost injured, and Chen Changli quickly pulled her behind him. Then he looked around and found that the road was blocked by thorns. If they didn't find a way to clear the thorns, they would not be able to leave.
Chen Changli immediately took off his outer robe and tried to clear the thorns.
Wan Shufang followed him and took two steps. Thinking of the traces they left here, she thought for a moment, then turned back to erase the traces and sprinkled some medicine powder to cover them up.
Afterwards, Chen Changli cleared the thorns in front, and she cleaned up the mess behind, trying her best to ensure that everything remained normal and that no one would notice the entrance to the Nameless Village.
The couple worked well together and quickly got out of the thorn forest in just one afternoon.
They restored some of the thorns to their normal state and left in one direction, but they didn't expect that someone not far away saw their actions.
He stroked his chin thoughtfully, and left after a while.
It was the hour of You, when people were preparing dinner, so Chen Changli and Wan Shufang chose the direction where people were floating in the sky.
Following the population, he came to a town called Xingyun Town. Seeing that the townspeople had rosy cheeks and were full of energy, Chen Changli knew that they were living a good life.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a jade pendant and prepared to pawn it.
Wan Shufang saw it and asked, "Why did you take out the jade pendant?"
"All our money was washed away after we jumped off the cliff. Now we are penniless. If we want to find a place to stay, we have to pawn our jade pendant in exchange for some money." Chen Changli replied subconsciously.
Wan Shufang glared at him and lowered her voice so that only he could hear: "Have you forgotten my hospital space? Your assets and my banknotes are all in it."
When Chen Changli heard this, he immediately laughed: "I forgot."
Wan Shufang joked: "You didn't forget, you just didn't want to spend my money, but my money is also your money."
As she spoke, her eyes turned and she smiled and said, "You have more money than I do."
"I have no money, and that money is all yours, so are you willing to spend money on me, madam?" Chen Changli asked affectionately.
Although he is over 40, he looks to be in his early 30s. In addition, having been a Duke for several years, he has an aura that makes people unable to take their eyes off him.
Wan Shufang blushed as he stared at her, but she said, "I am your wife. If I don't support you now that you are down and out, won't people think I have changed my mind?"
After she finished speaking, she started laughing, then glared at Chen Changli in reproach, "Let's go find an inn quickly. I'm exhausted after walking all day."
When Chen Changli heard this, he quickly asked someone about the inn and then took Wan Shufang there.
After having dinner at the inn, the couple went out for a walk and found a post station. They wrote a letter and asked a clerk to deliver the letter to Yongzhou city as quickly as possible.
After resolving her worries, Wan Shufang felt a lot more relaxed. "Once Xiyun and the others receive the letter, they can put their minds at ease and don't have to worry about finding us."
Chen Changli agreed: "This matter is very important. If it is not resolved, it will continue to weigh on our minds, and both of us will be desperate and try all kinds of methods."
After he said that, he bought a string of candied haws for Wan Shufang, and then took her to continue walking around the town. When they felt it was about time, they went back to the inn to rest.
It should have been a good night's sleep, but Chen Changli was awakened in the middle of the night.
He subconsciously slowed down his breathing and listened to the noise outside, but felt something was wrong because there were strange noises outside, like someone walking or a mouse crawling.
Chen Changli felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He then stood up, put on a single piece of clothing, and went to the door to open it, but saw the waiter standing at the door and was about to knock.
"What can I do for you?" Chen Changli looked carefully at the waiter's expression and saw that he was terrified but trying his best to remain calm. He couldn't help but feel strange.
"I'm here to tell the guests one thing, that is, in the middle of the night, no matter what noise you hear, don't come out." The waiter spoke quickly and then left, obviously to notify the next place.
After Chen Changli watched him leave, he looked left and right and found that the door was closed. It seemed that no one heard the noise outside. But if that was the case, why would the waiter do that?
With doubts in his mind, Chen Changli closed the door and returned to bed.
Wan Shufang had been awakened by the waiter's voice. She turned sideways and asked, "What happened?"
Chen Changli explained the matter again and said, "I heard the sound just now, but I don't hear it now."
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the strange sound rang out again.
When Chen Changli heard this, he immediately covered Wan Shufang's ears because the strange sound was mixed with fighting.
Wan Shufang's ears were covered by him and her heart was beating like a drum, but nothing happened after half a minute, so Chen Changli took his hand back. She calmed down a little and fell asleep again.
After a day's travel and then walking around the town, she was exhausted. Now that she had a chance to fall asleep and Chen Changli was by her side, she felt very safe and slept soundly.
Chen Changli didn't, he kept his nerves tense until dawn, and only let out a breath when he was sure that nothing was wrong.
Wan Shufang woke up at this time, and seeing the dark circles under his eyelids, she sat up in shock, "You didn't sleep all night, did you? Do you want to catch up on some sleep now?"
