    Since they decided to go to Hu Yuanwai's house, the two made a little calculation and decided to set off for Youxie Town immediately.

    Member Hu acted genuinely grateful, and after thanking his concubine Xiaoyun again, he trotted out the door and yelled for his servants to bring the carriage.

    After the two left, Gu Juan called the boy over, and handed him some money.

    "I'm going to be a guest at Hu Yuanwai's house tonight. You can pack up and go with me. After arriving in Youxie Town, I'll stay at Hu Yuanwai's house. As for you, it's best not to enter Hu's house and go to the town.  Have fun in the wine shop and teahouse, then go to the inn to stay, and focus on listening to whether any strange things have happened recently."

    The little servant held Sui Yin tightly, and after being excited, he had a proud and excited expression on his face, "Mr. is indeed a great talent. Even such a big man as Mr. Hu will come to invite Mr. as a guest in person."

    Gu Juan was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "He didn't invite me to be a guest, but asked me to help him interpret his dreams, and by the way, help him see how the house's feng shui is good or bad."

    Seeing the boy's puzzled and curious expression, Gu Juan just smiled and remained silent, and then sent him to pack the clothes for the evening.

    Even though the snow on the road had not completely melted, the carriage still ran fast all the way, which showed the fear and eagerness of members Hu under the tremendous pressure.

    Gu Juan and his entourage had already entered Youxie Town before it got dark. After putting down the servants, they went straight into Hu's Mansion. A housekeeper and servant woman had already been waiting at the door to welcome them in.

    The dinner was eaten in Hu's house. The food and drinks were quite good, but the members of the Hu family were preoccupied and obviously had no appetite. They just drank one cup after another.

    After the meal, Gu Juan originally thought that the two of them would not sleep tonight, so they would sit and chat with each other while drinking tea and waiting for the fourth watch with wide eyes. However, before midnight, Hu Yuanwai was already so sleepy that he couldn't stand it for a moment.  look, sat there and dozed off.

    He had no choice but to call the housekeeper, help the Hu member to go back to the bed to rest, and he went to the outhouse just a curtain away from the Hu member, moved a chair, sat down and adjusted his breath.

    The butler of the Hu mansion and a servant were also left behind by the Hu staff, and sat with them in the outer room, sipping strong tea to quench their thirst and refresh themselves in boredom.

    Under the bright candlelight, Gu Juan looked at the slightly swaying door curtain, feeling peaceful and serene in his heart.

    He is only a few feet away from Hu Yuanwai at most. With his keen perception, as long as there is any movement on the bed a few steps away, he can definitely arrive in an instant.

    Even if "they" appear, as long as it is not the existence of the bride in red who can crush him, he should be able to fight against other aliens. At worst, he leaves the Hu family and escapes alone  It's not too difficult either.

    And if it is really a different kind of bride in red, it is impossible for Hu Yuanwai to be alive and kicking for a few days, and even go to the village to find him for help. I am afraid that the whole Youxie Town has already become a dead place.

    After thinking about it like this, Gu Juan also settled down, and even felt a little more joyful.

    Perhaps this time, not only can he harvest a pile of money and jade pendants, but he can even let the jungler who hasn't had meat for a long time drink blood and improve his own strength.

    Maybe it was because Gu Pan was watching over him, so exhausted that Hu Yuanwai soon fell asleep and snored a little.

    Gu Juan smiled slightly, touched the handle of the ax lightly with his fingertips, and continued to think about some issues about cultivation while paying attention to the surrounding situation.

    Time passed by, and suddenly, his body trembled, and he opened his eyes suddenly, staring at the flickering lights on the table with a gloomy face, and tightly grasped the hot handle of the hunting ax with his hand that was shrunk in the sleeve of his robe.  .

    He just fell asleep.

    He fell asleep without knowing it, and just woke up from a nightmare.

    This feeling is very real, but extremely unreal.

    The most fundamental reason was that he couldn't remember anything about what happened in the dream.

    Only the trace of shock left in his heart kept reminding him of what really happened just now.

    Gu Pan frowned deeply, doubts abounding in his heart.

    Since he had made some achievements in practice, it was really the first time that he fell asleep uncontrollably like this tonight.

    What made him even more puzzled was that he had a nightmare but didn't remember what he dreamed of. He had never encountered such a strange situation, whether it was in the previous time and space or this world!

    Clang!

    The crisp sound of gongs came from a distance, Gu Juan listened intently, and after a while murmuredHe muttered to himself, "The watchman is shouting to keep warm in the cold weather, and there is also the sound of gongs beating one slow and three fast, so it is the fourth watch."

    It's four watch days now!

    So what about Yuanwai Hu?

    What about his concubine Xiaoyun?

    Did they also just wake up from a nightmare again?

    Gu Juan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly found that there was no sound on the bed separated by a curtain, which made his back involuntarily feel a chill.

    He didn't rush to see the situation outside Hu Yuan, but looked to the left and right immediately.

    The butler of the Hu Mansion and another servant were sitting there, and neither of them fell asleep, but kept their eyes open with the force of sleepiness.

    The room was silent, and apart from the different breathing sounds of the three people, no abnormal noise was heard.

    Gu Juan took a deep breath and asked slowly, "You two, haven't you slept all this time?"

    The butler of the Hu Mansion shook his head, "It's true that I'm a little sleepy, but since the master gave the order to die, I tried my best not to sleep."

    He nodded thoughtfully, and asked the housekeeper to slowly open the door curtain.

    In the inner bedroom, six big red candles were lit, illuminating the small room as brightly as day.

    Gu Juan remained silent, went straight to the bed, and looked down.

    He narrowed his eyes suddenly, his heart beat suddenly again, and his palms were slightly damp.

    Hu Yuanwai was already dead.

    On the bed was a motionless and stiff corpse. His wide-opened eyes were full of fear, his clenched fists were clenched around his waist, and his body was curled up into a ball desperately, as if he was trying his best to avoid any danger.

    But obviously, he failed.

    There were no wounds on Hu Yuanwai's body, and there were no signs of poisoning, so the biggest possibility was that he failed to persist in the great fear, and was finally frightened to death.

    Seeing this scene, the housekeeper and servants couldn't help screaming, and one of the servants took a few steps back and fell to the ground with a plop.

    However, there was nothing unusual about the bedroom outside Member Hu. Gu Juan and the housekeeper searched the room carefully, but found nothing in the end.

    Before the sky was bright, the whole Hu Mansion was already in chaos, and there was a noisy mourning sound everywhere.

    Gu Juan did not leave, nor did he panic like the rest of the Hu family, but immediately found Xiaoyun, Hu's concubine.

    In just one night, the young woman who was originally just a haggard face became like a walking dead, as if she had lost her soul.

    Without any hesitation, he asked straight to the point, "Besides you, do you know who else Hu told this to?"

    Xiaoyun thought for a while, and showed a bleak smile, "Master should have told this matter to Lao Zheng, the leader of the nursing home, and Li Daochang from Zhenxi Taoist Temple. I don't know if there are others."

    "When did you tell them all?"

    "The day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, that day, we stayed in Daoist Li's Taoist temple for one night, and Daoist Li even came here to do a religious ceremony."

    Gu Pan nodded, "In the Taoist temple, you also had nightmares, and on the night after the ceremony, Hu Yuanwai and you were still awakened by the nightmare."

    Xiaoyun nodded blankly, "It's like this"

    "Then do you know, before Mr. Hu had his first nightmare, did he act strangely, for example, where he has been, what he has done, who he has seen, or animals?"  Remember the URL of this website: www.hlnovel.com
