Chapter 438 She is here
Ling County...
Ni Nainai and Qin Hanmo did not go to the government to inquire about the matter of the ghost bride. After traveling for several days, Ni Nainai was a little tired, so she went to her room to rest after lunch.
Qin Hanmo came to the inn counter and asked the waiter about the ghost bride. Just like what he encountered on the street, as soon as he opened his mouth, they quickly said they had something to do and slipped away.
It seemed that he couldn't say anything, otherwise he would attract the ghost bride. Besides, the store door was closed early. Qin Hanmo returned to the room, looked at Ni Nainai who was sleeping soundly, straightened her quilt, and prepared to climb out the window.
Ni Nainai was sleeping very soundly and had no idea where Qin Han was. Only the cat squinted its eyes to look at him and continued to sleep beside Ni Nainai.
A cool breeze whistled past on the busy street. Some shops were originally open, but when the wind picked up, everyone closed their shops. The street, which originally had some people on it, suddenly became quiet.
There are talismans pasted on the doors of almost every household here. Qin Hanmo walked alone on the street to see if he would be lucky enough to meet the ghost bride.
Before he knew it, Qin Hanmo arrived at the gate of the county government office. Looking at the tightly closed door covered with talismans, he jumped into the government office. Now that he had come this far, he might as well go and find out clearly.
"There's an assassin!" The cry was like thunder, breaking the originally quiet night sky of the county government.
In an instant, the crowd was noisy, and a group of people holding sharp swords rushed in like a tide, surrounding Qin Hanmo. They all looked nervous, staring sharply at the uninvited guest in front of them.
Faced with such a situation, Qin Hanmo showed no fear. He stood up straight and said loudly:
"I am not an assassin. Regarding the matter of the ghost bride, let your adults come out."
However, these people obviously did not believe his words.
"Hmph, you break into the county government office in the middle of the night and dare to speak such nonsense? I think you are a thief!" The leading bailiff glared at him, waved the long knife in his hand, pointed it at Qin Hanmo, and shouted, "Someone, come here, catch this guy for me!" After that, he took the lead in brandishing the sharp blade in his hand and pounced towards Qin Hanmo.
Qin Hanmo flashed like a ghost, and easily dodged the opponent's fierce attack with a leap. Then, he tapped his toes and jumped onto the roof.
"Don't let him run away, shoot him down with a bow and arrow!" The leading yamen runner saw this and shouted angrily at everyone. For a moment, the sound of bowstrings rang, and countless arrows shot towards Qin Hanmo like a swarm of locusts.
"Hehehe...hahaha..." At this moment, a creepy, eerie and terrifying woman's laughter suddenly came from the county government office. This laughter seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, revealing endless chill and weirdness, which made people shudder.
The yamen runners who originally wanted to shoot Qin Hanmo turned pale and trembled all over when they heard this terrible laugh. They rushed into the house one by one as if they were being chased by evil spirits, and hurriedly closed the door, fearing that the terrifying thing would chase them in.
Qin Hanmo stood steadily on the roof of the county government office, his expression solemn, his eyes scanning the surroundings like lightning. However, no matter how carefully he looked, he could not find any trace of any suspicious person.
"Come out! Stop playing tricks here! If you have the guts, show yourself and confront me!" Qin Hanmo shouted angrily, his voice exploding in the air like thunder.
However, the only response he got was the constantly echoing laughter of “Hehehe…hahaha…”
Moreover, the laughter was sometimes far away, sometimes near, and sometimes vague. It seemed to be right next to the ear, and yet also seemed to be far away in the sky, making it impossible to determine its exact location.
Qin Hanmo jumped directly out of the county government office and came to the street. Laughter rang out again, and Qin Hanmo looked around.
"Help! Ah!" This sudden cry for help broke the tranquility of the night, like a thunderbolt breaking through the sky. Qin Hanmo's heart tightened, and he jumped without hesitation, rushing towards the source of the sound like an arrow.
He moved as fast as the wind and arrived near the source of the sound in the blink of an eye. However, surprisingly, although he had searched the surroundings carefully, he still could not find any useful clues.
All the doors and windows here were tightly closed, as if blocked by a mysterious force. The street was also strangely quiet at this moment, not even a trace of wind could be heard, the whole scene was so strange that it made people shudder.
At this moment of silence, a huge wedding procession emerged like a tide.
Walking at the front of the wedding procession were six burly men. Each of them held high a bright and eye-catching wedding sign. On the sign were written four large characters "A Happy Marriage" in a flamboyant style, and the words sparkled white in the moonlight.
Behind the six men was a large red sedan chair lifted by eight strong men. The sedan was beautifully decorated with colorful silk and tassels hanging all around, swaying gently in the breeze, like a gorgeous flower blooming in the wind.
On one side of the big red sedan, a woman in red was following closely. Behind the sedan, a large group of people followed closely, carrying all kinds of betrothal gifts on their shoulders or in their hands, heading towards the city gate...
