Chapter 10 South of the City
The warm but not scorching sunlight casts on this city, unlike the dusty gate located on the island, which is always misty with water vapor, and the sunlight is reflected on the large and small stones on both sides of the road, which inexplicably has a dizzying reality like a heat stroke. Although Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ping City is a secular place, which cannot be compared with Yunsu City, but from the perspective of an ordinary person, it is also a beautiful and quiet city.
They walked in the direction of the south of the city, and after living here for a while, she knew that although it was not as big as the big families in the north of the city, there was also another kind of liveliness. There are many alleys here, paved with bluestone slabs, one by one, one by one, every early morning, there are always some early morning flower sellers who come out early to pick the freshest jade flowers, Wu Nong's soft whisper is selling. At the small stone arch bridge, some fishmongers living in the city also get up early to pound all kinds of sea fish from the fishing villages near Heping City, and set up stalls waiting for the scattered people or cooks in various restaurants to buy them.
In addition to the shops of tailors and miscellaneous goods, there are small courtyards where people live. The folk customs are simple, the walls of the courtyards separated by each other are only half a head high, usually the neighbors are outside, helping each other to shout, shouting through the wall, the children of the east family are playing, beating the children, and within a moment, the west family will come to persuade. Perhaps it is this low wall, simple and peaceful life, that allows them to have the kindness and enthusiasm that most immortal cultivators do not have today.
A trace of warmth flashed on Liluo's face, and his eyes looked softly at the blue bricks and mud tiles around him.
A copper lock hangs crookedly on the painted wooden door, and with a slight push, it seems that you can enter. Frowning between her eyebrows, she slowly moved her gaze elsewhere, and found that around here, many people's doors were wide open and unlocked, as if they were going out in a panic.
What does this mean?
Liluo unconsciously touched the sachet on his waist, and felt the flower path under the slightly convex needle, over and over again.
"It's really a simple place for people to live. A voice in her ear that looked like emotion pulled her thoughts back.
Turning his head, he looked at the handsome man with a little bit of youth and the gentle man of youth in the sun, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
"Isn't it?" the man noticed her scrutiny and smiled lightly, "Why don't we go in and have a look?"
As soon as the proposal came out, Liluo frowned and instinctively wanted to refuse, but the latter words dispelled this idea and hesitated to respond.
Squeak.
With a slight push, the door opened.
What caught his eye was the clothes hanging on the bamboo pole, and he was about to step forward, when he saw Fu Sihan go over first, rubbing the fabric with his thumb and forefinger, for a moment, put it down, and turned around: "It's been several days." ”
Although Liluo was a little curious about why Fu Sihan would tell him about his analysis, he still nodded. She walked alone to the corner of the courtyard, where there was an ancient well, but what caught her attention was the large wooden basin filled with water next to her, where several fish swam around, which were the unique sea fish of Heijo Bay.
The scales are a beautiful blue glaze color, the more you reach the tail fin, the lighter the color, the mouth of the fish is slightly upturned like a small hook, and the well water in the basin is swallowed in small mouths, and the flat body shuttles freely in the water. She inserted her fingers into the water slightly, and she didn't know how long the owner of the courtyard had been gone, but the water in the basin remained cold in the well.
Ugh.
She suddenly gasped deeply, and her immature face grinned a little because of the pain, and she looked stupid.
Was she bitten by a fish?
Blinked in confusion, she raised her hand a little incredulously, looking at the slender white little hand, there was not a trace of red marks, and she touched her chin. Strange, fingers into the water, why do wrists feel tingling?
Could it be that this fish jumped up and stabbed it with its hooked mouth?
Why bite there? It knows that there are blood vessels there, weak spots?
Born with wisdom, different from demons!
As soon as he left the fall, he became vigilant, staring at the fish with a deep hatred on his face. But the fish didn't feel her aggressive gaze, and gently swung its almost transparent tail, and swam to the other end of the basin again, and rubbed another fish of the same color affectionately.
Departure: ......
It wasn't until she looked down at the white jade bracelet on her wrist that she felt that she might have been scratched by the worn bracelet for a while.
Also, with such a difficult task, even if there is a change, I am afraid that it will not be able to pull the demon.
Sure enough, it had been a long time since she had participated in a similar training mission, and she was so shocked, if she had been in front of them, she would have been fiercely ridiculed as a cat with its tail stepped on. She withdrew her gaze and looked around casually, a little distracted.
She didn't notice that at this moment, on the bracelet on her wrist that could not be removed, at the edge of the crack, there was a trace of black gas like a thread rushing into it, and it quickly disappeared.
After all, he didn't forget his business, looked left and right for a moment, turned sideways, and saw Fu Sihan, who had already walked into the house. The door to the inner room was also unlocked, and from this direction, she could clearly see the scattered benches and the untouched dishes and chopsticks on the table. She could be sure that the family had left in a hurry, and at the same time suddenly.
What kind of situation will make the people of Heijo leave in a hurry?
Except for the sudden fainting caused by the plague, Liluo couldn't think of any other answer.
Thinking of what she had seen before, she thought it was possible that these people were rushed to the hospital because of the sudden coma of their relatives, but they did not return to their homes because of the subsequent quarantine.
"Senior Brother Fu, the old man said that the people who have not fainted but have been infected have been isolated separately?" raised his chin, and Fu Sihan, who was still looking down at the table not far from Luo Qian, seemed to observe what kind of dishes there was.
"Huh?" The man raised his head, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was a little absent-minded, and eased his mind, as if he had filtered her questions in his mind, and then lowered his eyes, looked at her squatting in front of the fish basin, smiled kindly, and walked over slowly, "Hmm." Does Xiao Changli have any opinions?"
Looking at his brisk steps for a while, he couldn't help laughing, under his stunned gaze, he squinted, his face was innocent, harmless to humans and animals, "Didn't Senior Brother Fu also think of it?"
Fu Sihan didn't answer her question, but looked at him left and right, "The whole sect says that Xiao Changli's qualifications are not good, and the senior brother can't see this for the time being, but he found that Changli is much smarter than ordinary people at a young age." ”
Liluo found that when talking to the other party, it seemed that when there was no critical moment, the person in front of him could always go around the topic in a big circle. She didn't bother to go around with him, so she was not polite, she was very simple, "It's smarter." ”
Hearing her answer, the smile on the man's face deepened, and he was still so kind to the spring breeze, "Then Changli thinks, what could be the cause?"
"In short, it's not contagious. Liluo's tone was firm, "And what the old man said is also not true, he doesn't have the ability to distinguish who is sick, let alone isolate these people in the same compound." ”
The outbreak of the disease on a large scale, but there are still many people who do not know about the disease until they are seriously ill and faint, which shows that the people here are still unable to accurately distinguish the disease. Speaking of infection, the family members who get along day and night can still send these people to the hospital in the first place, so it is not entirely credible.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Fu Sihan nodded and explained, "Within a few days, everyone in their own homes and neighbors will be sick, and it is considered to be a plague, which can be regarded as a reason, after all, the confusion is too strong, and the old man is afraid that he will not be able to understand clearly." ”
"Let's figure out why, I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a few more days. Looking at the look of confusion that flashed on Liluo's face, Fu Sihan smiled bitterly and said with a sigh.
