After recovering his strength, Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao could no longer be trapped in the small stone town. The two could leave at any time, and even the people of Stone Town would not be afraid if they found them.
The two stayed at Rongrongâs house for a day. When it was dark, Xiao Tianyao went to the back mountain of the Stone Temple and found the water flowing from the rocks in Rongrongâs mouth.
However, the two got the water that could relieve the restraint of Stone Town, but they still couldnât find the mysterious power. To Xiao Tianyao, that mysterious power was also very important, so they canât leave for the time being.
âWait another day, find the reason before leaving.â Xiao Tianyao thought for a while and then decided to postpone the time to leave.
The two of them were not from the town, and they can leave at any time, but Rongrong and his father were from the town. Their sudden departure will inevitably arouse suspicion. It was best to stay in town for a while.
âIt should be related to a certain stone. Did you find anything abnormal in the stone temple?â Lin Chujiu had no objection, Xiao Tianyaoâs martial arts recovered, and they stayed in Stone Town for a few years, let alone one more day. The people in the town canât do anything to them.
âNo, itâs a very unusual stone. Now that we are not affected by the mysterious power of Stone Town, Iâm afraid, things will be more difficult.â They were now the same as the people of Stone Town, how can they find something unusual?
âYou can only take out all the suspicious stones according to your previous thinking, and then separate them one by one for different people to try.â The medical system canât be counted on, Lin Chujiu can only use the most stupid method.
âWell, Iâm going to collect stones, and I can leave tomorrow at the latest.â The young prince of the Central Empire was still outside, and they canât stay in Stone Town for too long. If the Imperial Envoys knows what they were doing in Stone Town, they have no advantage.
Lin Chujiu nodded. To speed up the progress, Lin Chujiu especially found Rongrong and asked him to help find some special stones, not big ones, just small ones.
Rongrong was a child. A child of this age was still playful in the eyes of adults, no one suspects him when he goes out to look for rocks.
The next day, Rongrong brought back dozens of stones, big and small, with strange shapes. That night, Xiao Tianyao went out again, this time he was not looking for water but stones.
Also in order not to disturb the people in Stone Town, Xiao Tianyao did not directly steal stones from the Stone Temple, but went all over the large and small stone quarries in Stone Town, picking the stones he needed from the abandoned stone quarries.
The quarries in Stone Town are scattered, and no matter how fast Xiao Tianyao was, by the time he finishes running all the quarries, it will be dawn soon.
To get out of the city today, Xiao Tianyao didnât go back to Rongrongâs house but proposed to send a signal to inform Lin Chujiu, and then waited for Lin Chujiu directly at the gate of the city with a stone.
Lin Chujiu was not a delicate woman. Although she brought a patient and a child with her, it didnât affect her speed at all. As soon as Xiao Tianyao arrived at the gate of the city, Lin Chujiu arrived with Rongrong and his father.
Seeing Xiao Tianyaoâs figure from a distance, Lin Chujiu heaved a long sigh of relief: âHave you collected all the stones?â
They were very unlucky today. They met patrolling people on the way. If she hadnât reacted quickly and pulled Rongrong and his father to hide first, they might have been exposed.
âWell, the respondent will be here soon, wait for a while.â Xiao Tianyao took the stone bag from Lin Chujiuâs hand, raised his sleeve, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
âNoâŠâ Lin Chujiu was not used to making such intimate gestures in front of people, and wanted to refuse, but was restrained by Xiao Tianyao: âDonât move!â
The two stood very close, with their eyes facing each other. Seeing the earnestness and carefulness in Xiao Tianyaoâs dazzling eyes, Lin Chujiuâs face was slightly embarrassed, and she turned away in embarrassment.
To hide her embarrassment, Lin Chujiu quickly turned her head, her eyes wandering, not daring to look at anyone.
As soon as she swept her eyes in the surrounding area, Lin Chujiuâs sight fell on the stone building not far away. This stone building was the tallest in Stone Town, with seven floors, all made of black stones, and the roof was polished from a single piece of stone, which looks mysterious and mighty.
Lin Chujiu saw this building as soon as she entered the city. She didnât think there was anything there before. After all, all the buildings in Stone Town were related to stones. It was normal to have a stone building, but when Lin Chujiu saw it tonight, she found it unusual.
Who knows if it was because of the wrong angle, or because of the moonlight, but Lin Chujiu always felt that this black stone building was unusual, with red fluorescence appearing faintly, which was very mysterious.
With doubt in her heart, Lin Chujiu said directly: âXiao Tianyao, this stone building is unusual.â
âHmm?â Xiao Tianyao paused as he wiped his sweat, followed Lin Chujiuâs pointing, turned his head to look, and asked in puzzlement: âWhatâs unusual?â Who knows if the angle was wrong or something, but Xiao Tianyao didnât see anything unusual.
âThese stones are very strange. Didnât you see the looming red light?â Lin Chujiu explained what she saw abnormally, but not only Xiao Tianyao, but Rongrong and his father also looked blank, saying that there was nothing there.
âAre my eyes dazzled?â Lin Chujiu was stunned for a moment and asked Xiao Tianyao to stand where she was, but Xiao Tianyao still didnât see the so-called red light.
This black stone building was very common in his eyes, and Rongrong also echoed: âSister⊠no, itâs aunt. Aunt, there are many black buildings in Stone Town. Look⊠there is also beside there.â
Rongrong stood on tiptoe vigorously and pointed into the distance.
It was just that the night was too dark to see anything, but Lin Chujiu believes that there must be something if Rongrong said it.
No one could see it, and Lin Chujiu had to suspect that she was wrong, and said with doubt: âMaybe itâs my eyes.â
Xiao Tianyao didnât like Lin Chujiuâs sluggish and discouraged look. Seeing her unconfident face, he said, âIâll go get a stone out, maybe thereâs something abnormal that we havenât discovered.â
It was just a matter of running around, it was enough to make Lin Chujiu happy.
Lin Chujiu originally wanted to say that there was no need to bother, but seeing that Xiao Tianyao was serious, she didnât say much and just told him to go and come back quickly.
The black building was not far from where they were. According to Xiao Tianyaoâs ability, going back and forth was only a blink of an eye. But Xiao Tianyao went for a long time and never come back.
âWhy hasnât Uncle come yet?â Not only Lin Chujiu but also Rongrong felt something was wrong: âIs he in danger?â
âDanger?â Lin Chujiu thought of the mysterious power of Stone Town and thought of the red fluorescent light she had just seen, her eyes lit up inexplicably.
She thought she seemed to understand something⊠âŠ
