The cold night is silent, the white moon is cold, and the clear light reflects the white snow, adding a bit of desolation.

A small figure on the ridge of the roof looked particularly lonely in the moonlight.

Another figure jumped up like a meow and landed gently on the roof, without making any sound, slowly approaching the figure.

"Brother Xiaowu, for them, survival is destined to be hard, and death might as well be regarded as a relief. ”

"I'm fine. Xiao Wu turned his head and forced a smile, and then looked into the distance again.

In the distance, one small mound after another is lined up, and there are more than 100 of them as far as the eye can see, and if you get closer, you can still smell the smell of earth.

A small town, no life. Those mounds are graves. A secluded, inconspicuous town disappeared in silence.

That day, after Xiao Wu followed Xue Xinxin to escape from Taiyang City, he turned back all the way, originally passing by, who would have thought that something had really happened here, and this change was so heavy and depressing.

The whole town was demoralized, with occasional cool breezes blowing, doors rattling intact or broken, and corpses scattered around the town like dead leaves.

Xiao Wu's hands tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.

"It's just, why?" Xiao Wu's voice was full of confusion and a hint of remorse.

"That guy named Su Qing should be in the same group as the corpse puppet. Although I don't know how to save the corpse puppet, I think that the change in this town is mostly related to him. Xue Xinxin said softly.

Xue Xin's mind went back to a few hours ago, and the two of them rushed towards the town in the afterglow, one by the way, and the other wanted to enter the underground palace again to find out if there were anything related to Su Qing.

The sun was getting late, the town was quiet, there was no trace of cooking smoke and lights, and the two couldn't help but be vigilant.

When I got closer, I realized that the entire town had been slaughtered, and the streets were littered with broken bricks and corpses.

Xue Xinxin raised his eyebrows and approached the nearest corpse.

It was a woman, with a thin face, without a trace of flesh, her eyes were round, revealing endless horror, revealing her sleeves, hands and skull, leaving only a layer of gray skin, but other than that, her whole body was intact, and there was not a single scar.

Xue Xinxin's nose moved slightly, and he couldn't find a trace of blood.

Xiao Wu recovered from the shock at this moment, and then ran all the way towards the burial mountain.

"Brother Xiao Wu!" Xue Xinxin hurriedly followed.

The entrance to the cave that was originally sealed was wide open, Xiao Wu's heart sank, and emotions such as remorse and self-blame overflowed in his heart, and he didn't want to think about it, so he stepped in.

When Xue Xinxin caught up with Xiao Wu, he only saw him standing motionless at the gate of the palace.

Xue Xinxin glanced around, then stepped forward lightly, and was about to speak, but saw a line of handwriting left with blood as ink on the ground of the palace: Thank you for your help--Su Qingliu

Xiao Wu seemed to have lost his soul, and without saying a word, he staggered back to the town and built nameless graves for the townspeople who had been dead for a long time.

After sitting quietly for a long time, Xiao Wu seemed to think a lot, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "The same person, why can he be so ruthless?"

Xue Xinxin looked at Xiao Wu, not knowing what to think, and after a long while, he spoke: "Originally, I was in the clan, and I thought like you. Later, after coming out for a long time, I saw a lot, and finally understood the truth that adults often talk about. People are different after all, this world has always been like this, life and death have always been the right of the strong, and the weak can only survive in the pity and ignorance of the strong. ”

Xue Xinxin said very slowly, every word lingered in Xiao Wu's heart, and couldn't help but remind Xiao Wu of his days in the ancient city, where this was not the case.

Xiao Wu looked at Xue Xinxin and asked, "Do you think so too?"

Xue Xinxin turned his head to look at the bright moon in the sky: "Mingyue doesn't need to care about the cloudy and sunny world, but we are in it." ”

Xiao Wu lowered his head and was silent, Xue Xinxin no longer spoke, and the two figures melted into the moonlight and silent cold night like this.

When a ray of sunlight shone into Xiao Wu's face through the crook of his arm, Xiao Wu woke up suddenly.

As Xiao Wu's head was raised suddenly, something on his body slowly slipped down. Xiao Wu fished it back, and it turned out to be a fox fur.

Xiao Wu looked beside him, there was no one, turned left and right, and Xue Xinxin was gone.

"Are you leaving?" Xiao Wu whispered to himself, then looked at the snow-white fox fur in his hand, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: If Xiao Bai is here, I'm afraid he will be beaten again.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a ray of worry about the white fox in my heart.

"Brother Xiaowu, wake up!"

The voice came from below, and Xiao Wu leaned forward, a pair of bright eyes peeking out from under the eaves.

Xiao Wu jumped down from the roof and handed the fox fur forward: "Thank you for the fox fur." ”

"I gave it to you. The girl grinned, "Looks better, figured it out?"

Xiao Wu didn't want to take Xue Xinxin's things, so he forced the fox fur into the girl's arms, and continued: "The reason is very simple, but it is not easy to accept it. But it had already happened, it couldn't be changed, and one night just made me feel less uncomfortable. ”

"Okay, let's not mention this for now, I've prepared breakfast, do you want to try it?"

"You?" Xiao Wu looked at Xue Xinxin suspiciously.

Xiao Wu naturally didn't know anything about Xue Xinxin's background, but this did not affect the inference of her status in the clan: everything was a treasure, and in this era when human life was like a mustard, how could there be a lack of maids to wait.

So Xiao Wu was skeptical about the girl's so-called breakfast.

"What does this mean?" Xue Xinxin glanced at Xiao Wu and snorted lightly: "Although I have never traveled all over the world, I have never tasted all the delicious food in the world, but how can I say that I have also been practicing in the major palaces for half a year, is it your honor to be able to eat the breakfast I made today?"

Xiao Wu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and glanced at the girl with a little disbelief, as if he realized that the girl in front of him had a deep obsession with food.

Xue Xin didn't care about Xiao Wu's eyes, and magically brought out a small pot of porridge from behind him, a slightly light sweet smell drifted away, and the porridge in the pot looked more and more attractive.

"This is my own pure-hearted lotus seed porridge, try it. Xue Xinxin made a move, and the tables, chairs, and chopsticks suddenly appeared, ignoring the stunned Xiao Wu, the girls each filled a bowl, sat on the side and swallowed it.

Xiao Wu looked at the girl who seemed to be carrying the kitchen with him, blinked vigorously, and said strangely: "Why didn't you ...... before" Xiao Wu was a little speechless.

The girl smiled: "Cooking is naturally a matter of mood." Brother Xiao Wu, it's not delicious when it's cold. ”

Xiao Wu sat down suddenly, and after taking a few sips, he was indeed full of praise.

There was not much porridge, but it was quickly eaten by the two.

"Brother Xiao Wu, I'll go to the river to clean up, don't peek. The girl shook her head and left.

The stream is shallow, but the depth is just without the girl's knees, Xue Xinxin brushed away the thin ice, and took a handful of clear water, just a small fish was held in it.

"Can't you escape from my palm?" the girl grunted, sending the fish away.

"How?" the girl looked up, not knowing where to look, and there was one more person behind her, respectfully, the woman from the previous three.

"Miss, we traced him all the way, only to learn that he came from the border wilderness, and seemed to have come out of the wilderness. ”

Xue Xin's heart jumped to a bluestone beside the stream, sat on it casually, shook his feet, tilted his head to look at the woman, and there was doubt in his eyes.

What is the situation of her own family, even she who is in it, she can't figure it out, if she has the intention to find the root of people, there has never been such a paradoxical situation.

The woman's face was a little turbulent, she was in charge of this matter, and her previous surprise was no less than that of the girl, and she continued: "His traces seem to have been erased, and even if there is a way to trace the source, it cannot be found. If the young lady has the heart to ask, we can take him down and force him to ask. ”

Xue Xinxin shook his head: "Since someone deliberately erased his origin for him, then don't wade into this muddy water." Don't mention it to your clan. ”

The woman nodded, "Yes." Then his face changed again.

"Sister Yao, you can tell me anything. Xue Xinxin smiled.

"Miss, why do you want to follow him?" the woman asked after a long silence. Xue Xinxin's identity is special, and the family does not allow her to have any mistakes.

"I'm just curious about his identity, you don't need to worry, Sister Ah. "Xue Xinxin knows his own family affairs. "I'm not going to put myself in danger. ”

The woman turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped: "Miss, your long-stagnant realm is a little loose. ”

The voice fell, and the person was gone.

Xue Xinxin's feet stirring the stream paused, and he involuntarily fell into deep thought.

"Brother Xiaowu, what kind of origin do you have?"

After thinking about it, the person had returned to the place where the two had settled.

"Brother Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" Xue Xinxin saw Xiao Wu standing at the door from a distance.

"I'm wondering, if you are strong enough, the world can change the way you think?"

"It has to be strong enough. Xue Xinxin nodded.

"I see. Xiao Wu retracted his gaze and his gaze fell on his feet.

Xiao Wu and Xue Xinxin were not in a hurry to leave, they stayed in the town for a few days, if Su Qing returned here, he would ask for an explanation for the townspeople.

In the past few days, Xiao Wu has been closed to the door, refining qi and practicing day and night, and the guilt in his heart has kept spurring him on, making it difficult for him to sleep and eat.

Xue Xinxin was much more relaxed, except for sorting out the relics of the townspeople, most of the time was spent playing with water and folding plums.

That night, Xiao Wupan was sitting in the room and practicing, and a silent black shadow quietly approached.

"What kind of exercises is Brother Xiao Wu practicing?" The person who came was none other than Xue Xinxin.

The girl looked up at Xiao Wu on the bed, only to see a rune on his chest slowly turning, a faint light enveloping Xiao Wu's body, with each rotation of the rune, Xiao Wu's body emitted a wisp of red smoke, faint, but could not hide Xue Xinxin's eyes.

"Is this murderous?" Xue Xinxin frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on the sigil again.

"Where do you seem to have seen this sigil?" the girl began to recall, looking at the sigil.

Suddenly, the rune trembled slightly, and Xue Xinxin only felt that his head sank, and his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
