Chapter 1633 A Miracle Happens Before Your Eyes
Knowing that there was something wrong with Li Sugui, and that nothing could be found even during the day, Huo Changhe simply let Yan Ruyu have a good rest.
I rest and recuperate in the tent during the day. I've been busy these past two days, so it's a good time to get more sleep.
Let’s talk about it in the evening.
Yan Ruyu readily agreed. Although the scenery here was average, she was in a good mood and might as well treat it as a picnic. She wouldn't have to worry about food and drink anyway.
It's a rare day of leisure, and dusk is approaching in the blink of an eye.
Yan Ruyu got some food from the space, had dinner with Huo Changhe, and then closed her eyes to rest, waiting for dark.
As night fell, Yan Ruyu lay in the tent looking at the stars.
The night wind is still very cool, but the mood is very beautiful at this moment.
She couldn't remember the last time she looked at the stars.
In my previous life, I was always busy protecting others and maintaining peace. I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to look up.
As soon as he traveled through time, he was exiled to the royal palace, and he spent the whole day worrying about his livelihood and safety.
The starry sky is vast, and Yan Ruyu feels that her mind has also become more open.
Just as they were enjoying the beautiful scenery, there was a slight noise outside. Yinding, Jiang Paopao and the boss came back.
"Your Highness, Princess," Yinding stepped forward, his eyes shining, "We are back, is there anything you need us to do?"
Huo Changhe stood up and went out, and Yan Ruyu also packed up the tent.
"You're back just in time. You can meet up with Xiang Guang later and wait for news at the inn. The princess and I will go to the grove to take a look."
Yinding thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, it would be boring to just wait in the inn. Why don't we take over his yard first?"
Huo Changhe looked at Yan Ruyu: "What does Yu'er mean?"
Yan Ruyu thought about it and determined that there was something fishy about Li Sugui. If she took over his yard, she might be able to find more clues there.
She nodded in agreement: "Okay."
The first quarter of the hour of Hai.
The inn was quiet, and the lights in most of the courtyards had been turned off.
Yan Ruyu, Huo Changhe and others were near the grove.
"I don't know if he will come out tonight," Huo Changhe whispered, "If he doesn't come, we will go find him directly."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, he just went to the grove last night. We haven't figured out his pattern yet, so it's hard to say whether he will come or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, a starling flapped its wings and flew over, landing on Yan Ruyu's shoulder.
"Coming," he said in a low voice.
Huo Changhe pointed forward, and a lantern came closer from afar.
The two held their breath, stepped aside and hid themselves.
Li Sugui is quite skilled and very vigilant. We have waited so long for him to come out, and we cannot let all our efforts go to waste.
For this reason, they were still some distance away from the entrance to the grove.
Li Sugui walked into the grove holding a lantern.
Yan Ruyu counted a few numbers silently in her mind before she and Huo Changhe set out to catch up.
It took no more than two minutes.
When he arrived at the path in the grove, he looked inside. It was pitch black and he could not see anything. Even the small lantern that Li Sugui had been holding could not provide any light at all.
It was so dark there that he couldn't possibly blow in the lantern.
So, what about people? What about light?
Yan Ruyu became suspicious, and Huo Changhe pulled her, and the two of them walked slowly on the path.
After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, I didn't see anyone, let alone Li Sugui.
Yan Ruyu whispered, "Let's talk about it after we get out."
The two men returned along the same path and stood at the edge of the woods.
"There must be something strange in this forest," Yan Ruyu said with certainty, "Xiang Guang said that he followed Li Sugui last night and it was the same situation. I clearly saw him go in, but when I looked for him again, he was gone."
Huo Changhe looked around: "Could it be that there is a formation like the place where the corpse was placed before?"
Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "It's very likely."
If that's the case, then we're in trouble.
Although this forest is not particularly large, it is as big as a football field. Every tree, blade of grass, and stone may be the switch of the formation. How can we find it?
Yan Ruyu suddenly remembered that the abbot had told her that according to the map, there was a small hill at the end of the path.
Perhaps there will be a discovery there?
"Let's go and take another look."
Yan Ruyu pulled Huo Changhe up and set foot on the path again.
This time I didn't stop and went all the way to the end of the path.
But, nothing.
There are no hills.
Yan Ruyu was surprised, where is the hill?
There were still trees at the end of the path, and a patch of thorns and weeds, which had not grown at this time of year, and were still the same mess of dead branches.
In short, there are no hills.
It seems that there is indeed a formation here. When the abbot looked, there was a hill. It should be that when he looked, the formation was activated.
Just like the place where the corpses are kept, the situation is different if you go there during the day and at night.
It should be the same here.
Yan Ruyu thought to herself that it seemed that she had misjudged Li Sugui. She always felt that Li Sugui did not seem to be an ambush from the research institute. He did not have the calmness and detachment and the feeling that everything was under control that people from the research institutes had.
"Go, go back."
The two returned to the path again.
Yan Ruyu stood at the end of the path, thinking quietly.
This side of the road, that side of the road.
You have to take the small path to reach the hill.
There is no hill at the end of this path.
So, what if we take a different route?
Yan Ruyu felt that the key lay in this path.
But there is only this one path in the forest.
She took out a small flashlight and leaned over to take a closer look: "Your Majesty, look around here to see if there is anything special."
Huo Changhe nodded and looked carefully.
Yan Ruyu paid attention to the grass and stones on the roadside to see if there was anything special.
Huo Changhe held a small dagger in his hand, and whenever he felt something was suspicious, he would scratch it with the tip of the dagger.
Time passed quickly, and after nearly half an hour, nothing was found.
Yan Ruyu was a little discouraged and wondered whether she should wait for Li Sugui to come out and then just catch him and ask him directly.
But he also felt that Li Sugui might not be willing to tell the truth. If he resisted, the secret here might never be revealed.
Just as he was daydreaming, Huo Changhe suddenly said, "Yu'er, look here."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu looked in the direction he pointed.
That was a certain place on the path, now it is a gravel road and it is difficult to tell the difference at first glance.
However, if you look closely...
Huo Changhe said: "Look, aren't the stones here smaller and brighter than those elsewhere?"
It’s really just a little bit.
Yan Ruyu held the flashlight and shone it closely, and only then could she see a slight difference.
However, there is a difference.
Huo Changhe said softly: "Step back, I'll try with the tip of the knife."
Yan Ruyu stopped him: "Don't do that yet. It doesn't look like you're trying it with a sharp object."
The two men stood up, and Yan Ruyu tentatively stretched out her foot and tapped lightly on that spot.
Then, a miracle happened.
Yan Ruyu felt a flash before her eyes, as if the mountains and forests were moving, or like she was riding in a high-speed car, and the original road disappeared before her eyes in an instant.
Huo Changhe was also surprised and asked: "Am I...dazzled?"
The two looked carefully and found that the pebbled road in front of them had turned into a path paved with bluestone slabs, and the direction of the road was completely different from the pebbled road just now.
