Step by step, the horse's hooves stepped through the long bluestone street, the street was empty, and the snow covered the ground, and it was so depressed that the situation made those who had just entered the town think about it and couldn't help but be on guard.

"This town is so strange, let's pay attention. Mingwei hit the horse in front, turned around to look at the two of them, Xi Hao poked his head out of his arms, looked around, and then leaned back, clinging to his chest, and said softly: "Why is it so gloomy and gloomy, it makes people feel uneasy." ”

Lingering pulled up the cloak, blocked Xi Hao tightly, and then glanced at Mingwei, and said: "Let's go to the inn to stay, the wind and snow are dark early, and it has already passed, and I don't know if there is a town on the way, or I will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Good. Mingwei ran forward, and saw that there was only one inn with the door half-covered, so he jumped off his horse and shouted to the door: "Shopkeeper, we are here to stay, but there is still a room......

The contents of the inn were neatly organized, and nothing unusual could be seen, except for ......

"What a strange town, where have all the people in this town gone?"

Except that there is not a single figure!

"Let's go upstairs and have a look, you're waiting here. Lingering patted the snowflakes on his shoulders, pulled Xi Hao to the table and sat down, and then walked upstairs with Mingwei.

Every room was clean, there was no blood or corpses, but there was not a single figure to be found.

"What?" Seeing the two of them going downstairs, Xi Hao asked in a loud voice. Lingering shook his head, signaled, and went to the back hall, while Mingwei went out and went to the shop next to him to check.

There were all meat and vegetables in the dining room, but because of the cold weather, there was no qualitative change, and the firewood was neatly stacked in the corner of the house, and only the top layer was extracted, which was really unpredictable, as if suddenly everyone disappeared on the spot.

Lingering looked around carefully, then turned around and carried firewood and stuffed it into the stove. Whatever had happened here, the town of Koike was an empty city as it stands. It's getting late, the road ahead is unknown, and it's better to rush on the road than to be steady. After dinner, settle Xi Hao, and it's not too late to go to Mingwei to find out.

Xi Hao didn't come out for a long time when he saw it outside, and he was distracted because the surroundings were too quiet, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Lingering, lingering......" Xi Hao cautiously walked through the lobby, found that there was green smoke in the dining room, and hurriedly walked over. The pot has been cooked, the fire is very big, the water is steaming, Xi Hao entered the house and did not see the lingering, and as soon as he retreated, he was about to turn around, and he crashed into an embrace.

"What, you're scared when you're out there?"

Hearing the lingering laughter, Xi Hao couldn't help but stiffen his neck, and actually said: "Who said that I was afraid, I healed and saved people, what wounds and dead bodies have not been seen, I will be afraid?" The tone was like that, but the trilling voice couldn't be suppressed, and a ball of fluffy things suddenly brushed under his feet, Xi Hao jumped up with a scream, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but freeze in place, crying and laughing.

Xi Hao jumped high, and at this moment he was half-hanging on his body without any image, his hands around his neck, and his legs were still wrapped around his waist.

"I've seen it nearby, it's ...... here" The voice suddenly stopped, and Mingwei's half-entered body stepped back, and he actually withdrew from the dining room.

Lan Mian didn't speak, only reached out and hugged Xi Hao's body and half-lifted him in front of him. Xi Hao felt that he was too embarrassed, and he was ashamed of himself at the last moment, but he exposed his fear like this.

"It's still dark, why, so throw yourself into your arms, but you want me to ......"

"Say it again!" The voice was annoyed, his face turned red in an instant, Xi Hao looked at the man hatefully, and then let go of his hands, slipped down from the lingering body, raised his legs and walked out. Seeing that he was annoyed, lingering smiled slightly, reached out and fished him out, pulled him back into his arms, and leaned over to kiss him.

"I'll cook the food, you go to the front and wait, I'm here, don't be afraid. A dragonfly clicked on the water, and let go of Xi Hao, seeing that Xi Hao was still standing in place, his cheeks became more and more crimson, and he couldn't help but laugh evilly: "Why, but the kiss is not enough." As soon as the words fell, Xi Hao ran out of the door as if he had fled.

Mingwei stood outside the door, looking up at the sky, he knew Xi Hao's childish nature, and also knew that although he and Lang Mian had already bowed to heaven and earth, he was still shy about love, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed at the moment, so he flashed aside and gave way to him. Xi Hao hurriedly passed, and when he saw Mingwei, he paused and wanted to speak, but because of Mingwei's slight smile in return, he thought of his misleading behavior and actions, so he just nodded indiscriminately and ran away.

Mingwei looked at his back and couldn't help but be stunned.

The plain color and slender figure are very similar to the person, the person who cares about him, but can only bury himself deep in his heart.

Flawless, long time no see, are you okay? I'm going to the White Mountain Barracks. As a man, he should join the military camp and die on the battlefield, rather than doing nothing to live this life.

It's just flawless, if one day, I really die, I just hope to say it to you in person......

I......

The corners of his lips twitched bitterly, and Mingwei shook his head self-deprecatingly, then took a deep breath and raised his head.

How can this be, you and I will never see each other again from now on. The little marquis treats you with deep affection, and when you suddenly become enlightened, you two must be the most enviable pair in this world!

"Mingwei, Mingwei, stupid, what did you think. ”

A lingering laugh sounded in his ears, and Mingwei came back to his senses.

"Nothing. Mingwei smiled back, then gathered his senses, and said solemnly: "This town is already an empty city, I can't see any panic evacuation, and I can't find any corpses, this situation, it's as if someone used the whole town to set up a bureau and led someone into a trap, thinking that this town must have been bustling a few days ago, but it was no longer the people in the town." ”

Lingering nodded, agreeing with Mingwei's guess, and then said: "It's getting late, let's settle down first, I don't know which way the people set up the bureau, but those who can act on such a large scale must not be general, this is already the junction of Dajin and Heboduo, and the other end of the Nu River is Heboduo's Yiyun, and now this situation is really unpredictable." ”

"Okay, let's be careful, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. "

It was getting dark very quickly, the wind and snow mixed with hail knocked on the eaves, the cold wind pierced the hall, and let out a whimper, like a cry, as if he wanted to tell the three people who stepped into this town what happened here, and as if it was a ghost who was unwilling to cry because of unjust death was wandering around, the sound made Xi Hao break out in a cold sweat on his back, hiding in the quilt and not daring to move.

The candle flame was blown by the wind that penetrated through the lattice, and after a few struggles it was extinguished. Xi Hao showed his eyes from the quilt, and when he found that it was dark in the room, he couldn't help but lift the quilt, grab his shirt and run out.

"Lingering, lingering—"

The crying call echoed in the night, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, Xi Hao saw several figures entangled and fighting in the dark, and then two familiar voices sounded at the same time: "Xi Hao, run-"

When did the fight start outside the house Xi Hao didn't know at all, the martial arts of the person who came was not weak, it was obvious that he was a practitioner, Xi Hao knew that lingering and Mingwei could deal with it, but if there was one more of himself, the situation would be very different, and he could not be undefeated if he had no distractions, and he must not become a burden.

The clothes in his hand fell to the ground, Xi Hao turned around and ran, his flexible figure flashed away in the night, he knew that lingering and Mingwei would definitely buy time for himself to hide, so he didn't look back, just look for a place. The pursuit behind him was slow and urgent, Xi Hao ran to the innermost room, stretched out his hand and pushed it to find that the door was open, so he ran into the house, and then closed the door softly.

The room was very dark, the snow light penetrated the paper window, giving him a glimmer of sight, he stretched out his hands and groped his way to the wall, and found that his hands touched a door lock, thinking that it was a cabinet or something, so he reached out and pulled it, shrunk into the cabinet, only to find that the cabinet was very crowded, and the touch suddenly made his hair stand on end, and shivered.

When the footsteps reached the door, Xi Hao bit his lips tightly, desperately held back his tears, buckled the cabinet door, then covered his mouth and shrunk into a ball.

He didn't want to cry, but he couldn't hold back his tears, because at this moment, huddled in the cabinet with him were two cold corpses.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and he was about to suffocate, and finally there was a sound in the room, and then the lingering sound came, and he couldn't bear it any longer, and threw himself open the cabinet door, and ran straight to lingering, threw himself into his arms, and then grabbed him tightly.

The thin clothes couldn't withstand the wind and cold, and the body trembled like leaves in the wind.

Realizing that something was wrong with Xi Hao, he shook his arms, lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xi Hao shook his head desperately, and after a while, he finally pointed his finger at the cabinet door and cried, "Yes...... Dead Man......"

Mingwei took the candle and entered the house, this room has also been seen during the day, but because it is the same as all the rooms in front, it is because the cabinet has not been searched, and now when I come in to look, I find that the cabinet is a little excessive.

Lang Mian glanced at him, then leaned over and hugged Xi Hao, and said, "Go and change your clothes, Mingwei will check it." ”

After saying that, he carried Xi Hao out of the door, and when he was done, Xi Hao raised his head on his shoulder. The door of the cabinet was wide open because he came out, and at this moment, under the illumination of the candle flame, the two corpses were clearly visible, and the body trembled violently, Xi Hao lowered his head into his lingering neck, and never looked up.

Hundreds of families and thousands of corpses in Koike Town, both young and old, were hidden in their respective homes like this, and they became victims of conspiracy and power struggles.

The gentleman is in service, and he doesn't know the period. The chickens perched on the ridge, the sun is shining, and the sheep and cattle are down. A gentleman is in service, so why not think?

A gentleman is in service, not day or month. Chickens perched on the ground, the sun and the night, the sheep and cattle are bracketed. A gentleman is in service, and he is not hungry or thirsty?

Men put on armor and go into battle, just wanting their wives and children to live in peace, but now they are dying in their own homes like this, how can this hurt be the parting feelings of longing for each other! Innocent children, those children whose eyes have not yet been closed, how can their souls rest in peace!
