Chapter Forty-Eight: A Strange Ghost Town
The border between Nanli Town and Dongtu is only a hundred miles away, and if you don't follow the only official road, then the rest of the road will only be an endless forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this section of the road, there are two villages and towns along the way, one is Anmin Village, where Su Bai and the others have just passed, and the rest is the last town in the Dongtu Region, Shuiling Town.
After three days, Su Bai and Teng Yuhu were already able to see the shadow of Shuiling Town. This town has economic conditions far beyond Anmin Village, in addition to the original garrison, it is said that there is also a one-star hunter stationed in this land, but Shuiling Town is stronger than Anmin Village, but it is still a nameless town in terms of the mainland pattern, and the hunters equipped with it have the same status as the leader of the garrison at most.
Overlooking Waterling Town, it is a town hidden in the endless jungle, and the peaceful atmosphere can be felt for miles away. The house is like a ghost town, and the chickens and dogs smell each other.
But even so, Su Bai and the others chose to make a detour from the jungle into the city. Don't say that Shuiling Town doesn't look unusual, it's because of this that Su Bai and they won't blatantly enter the city, if it really becomes an uninhabited ghost town, then they may swagger in.
Shuiling Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the folk customs seem to be very simple because of this natural masterpiece, which is incompatible with the chaotic eastern soil adjacent to it. Su Bai and the others slipped into Shuiling Town, the noisy streets, good order, people seemed to greet each other with smiling faces, there was no filth hidden in the bustling bazaar, and it seemed that wasting even a grain was a kind of desecration for this town.
The road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, this seems to be the Datong society in people's hearts, so harmonious that people feel unreal.
"That girl won't be taking revenge on us, is it?
Teng Yuhu said in a suppressed voice, but only he felt that it was just a whisper, on the other hand, the others were attracted by his loud voice. Fortunately, passers-by just glanced at it and turned their heads, and before turning back, they gave Teng Yuhu a kind smile.
"What a wonderful town. Teng Yuhu looked at the sky and said. In the endless forests of southern Xinjiang, most places do not see the light of day, and all you can see when you look up is layers of intertwined leaves, and even if you can see it, it is only a corner of the sky like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Seeing such a beautiful blue sky in this town, Su Bai and the others were in a better mood.
Su Bai said "um" in response to Teng Yuhu's exclamation. The people in this town are extremely friendly, and the people on the street are doing their own thing in a very orderly manner without affecting others. When I met an old man passing by, a young man supported me, an old hunter who had returned from hunting, and a group of innocent children pestered like kittens to tell today's story.
Su Bai and Teng Yuhu were stunned, isn't this the life they are looking forward to?
Good times always fly by, and before you know it, time passes, and the sun has sunk below the horizon of the boundless forest sea in southern Xinjiang. The sky was replaced by a full silver moon. Su Bai and Teng Yuhu were lying on the roof, holding their heads in their hands, looking up to the sky to enjoy this rare view, in fact, what was rare was their relaxed mood at the moment. There is a kind of magic in this town that can relax the mood.
"If I could, I would like to live here for the rest of my life. Teng Yuhu sighed, there was once an old bastard, isn't this kind of life what he is looking forward to? But if he is allowed to come here, even such a simple folk custom will be corrupted by him, right? Teng Yuhu smiled self-deprecatingly, but this is all hypothetical, that person will never come to this place.
"Why not?" asked Su Bai, and rarely, Su Bai's face also showed relaxation. It is not an easy task to let down the vigilance of a person who has been hunting and killing for three or four years.
"Have you forgotten who we are? I don't want to set this place on fire, if we want to be back here in the future, we have to leave it, that's the protection of it. Teng Yuhu said, with some helplessness and bitterness in his tone.
"yes...... Love it, but leave it...... It's hard to understand. Su Bai also said a little confused.
"Okay, don't be sour, life isn't like this. From the day he became a hero, what fuck thing can't be encountered?" Teng Yuhu said, "Little crow shouldn't have seen such a beautiful moon, right?
The two of them felt a chill in their backs, and they jumped up in an instant. After looking around, he found that the little crow was gone. The two of them immediately flashed off the roof as if their feet were on fire, and frantically searched the streets for the crows.
This is something that has never happened before, Su Bai has always maintained his vigilance, always pulling the crow by his side and never leaving the ground, but today due to the atmosphere of this town, Su Bai and Teng Yuhu have let down their guard, and the crow is gone. The sense of crisis returned to their hearts, you know, from the understanding, Su Bai and they know that there is a hunter in this town. Even though it's only a one-star hunter, it can be dangerous for a raven.
Su Bai secretly scolded himself for being careless, and secretly attracted blood under his feet, even if his breath was captured by the hunter for the sake of the witch crow, it didn't matter.
However, Su Bai suddenly found that his body did not react, as if the blood did not exist, and Su Bai's sense of crisis rose to a higher level again.
After turning a few streets, Su Bai still found nothing, then he met Teng Yuhu, Teng Yuhu was also sweating profusely, Su Bai was a little strange, according to Teng Yuhu's physical strength, it is impossible to run like this so tired? But now the top priority is to find the witch crow, Su Bai greeted him, only to see Teng Yuhu frowning and shaking his head.
Su Bai's brows also furrowed, the witch crow was brought up by him, and the emotions of the two sharing weal and woe are incomparable, and the witch crow can be said to be equivalent to Su Bai's reverse scales. If someone touches this scale, Su Bai will destroy that person at all costs.
Suddenly, Teng Yuhu screamed, and Su Bai watched in confusion as Teng Yuhu's gaze swept back and forth on his face.
"You, where are your tiger stripes!" Teng Yuhu said with wide eyes.
Su Bai touched his face, suddenly thought of something, and asked:
"Can you draw blood?"
Teng Yuhu sank his face and slowly closed his eyes, the atmosphere was heavy and terrifying. After a while, Teng Yuhu opened his eyes, shook his head and said:
"There's no way, and I found that even my physical strength seems to have decreased, and now after you say it, I feel that the blood doesn't exist, in this case, it makes sense that my physical strength has decreased, because there is no effect of the blood on the body, and I am no different from ordinary people first. How are you?"
"It's the same. This town doesn't look as simple as it seems......" Su Bai said.
Teng Yuhu also nodded approvingly, after coming here, they obviously became a lot more abnormal, but they were well covered by something, fortunately, there was no danger, otherwise with their relaxed mind, it was extremely likely that they would be caught off guard by the danger.
Aside from these suspicions, Su Bai's current priority is to find the crow.
After looking for another quarter of an hour, Su Bai and Teng Yuhu still had nothing to gain, and a trace of irritability gradually rose in Su Bai's heart. Just when this trace of irritability appeared, a trace of terror suddenly rose in his heart, as if he had been grasped by a hand in the heart. He suddenly came back to his senses, the feeling faded, and Su Bai's head was covered with cold sweat.
Teng Yuhu asked with concern:
"What's wrong?"
Su Bai shook his head, this feeling was too mysterious, and Su Bai didn't know what the reason was, so he put it in his heart for the time being.
Dada......
In the darkness of the night, thousands of lights were lit, but footsteps could be heard at the end of the empty street, and people could be faintly heard.
Su Bai and Teng Yuhu were like frightened cats, their hairs standing on end, and they both dodged and hid behind the wall around the corner at the same time.
The footsteps and the sound of talking are getting closer and closer, Su Bai pricked up his ears, and listened to the content of the words with great ear strength, if it was changed to usual, under the effect of the blood, Su Bai's body was subtly changed, and any kind of bodily function was improved by the influence of the blood. This is the unique power of the beast's blood.
Getting closer, Su Bai also heard what was being said, and there seemed to be two people there.
"Where are you from? I don't seem to have seen you in this town. ”
"What about your family? Are you separated from them?"
"Little one, why don't you talk when you're so good-looking, it's not flattering." ”
"Then you can follow me first, my brother will help you find your family, and don't dislike me for not taking children before that." ”
A man said, but it sounded as if the man next to him was ignoring him, and the man himself was talking to himself.
Su Bai poked his head out and quietly glanced at the street. I saw a man holding a child, strolling through the moonlit street, which had a warm feeling.
The child's big eyes and round face looked very cute, and his sullen appearance made people want to pinch his face even more.
"It's not a gentleman's doing, I don't know what Your Excellency wants to peep into. ”
That man had such a keen insight, Su Bai was discovered by him just by poking his head. Su Bai walked out and shouted at the child:
"Witch Raven!"
The child raised his head, his eyes suddenly refreshed, and he trotted towards Su Bai. This child is naturally a witch crow, but Su Bai was surprised to see that on the face of the witch crow, the characteristics of a spirit still existed, and when he looked up, the man's arm armor was impressively inlaid with a black bead, and the bead was held in the mouth by a tiger. This is such a familiar outfit, how could Su Bai not recognize it.
Su Bai said in his heart, and then slowly pulled the little witch crow behind him, I don't know how many times I have done this action, it has become a habit, whenever danger comes, Su Bai will make this action as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, but we're not gentlemen. Besides, if you feel that you will lose in a fight, we can use weapons. Teng Yuhu walked out and threw down the bricks in his hand as he spoke.
Su Bai felt ashamed when he heard it, but Teng Yuhu walked over confidently. But it's understandable, after all, they all seem to have changed back into ordinary people, and it's strange that the crows have no effect.
The man was stunned, and became annoyed in Teng Yuhu's eyes, before the other party moved, Teng Yuhu put on a posture, as long as he didn't agree with him, he would pull Su Bai up and pounce on him regardless of shame, and hit a first strike.
The two sides were silent, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, the wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the two sides could hear each other's heartbeats at a distance of ten meters.
Unbeknownst to him, the man raised his head, stretched out his hand and shook it, and said:
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding, I'm just helping this kid find his lost family. Now it looks like it's done. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.
Teng Yuhu was stunned and said loudly:
"Hey, you're just letting us go?"
The other party turned around and said:
"If you are fortunate enough to be able to make two of you, it is also an honor to be here. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again, this time his hands were put together with four fingers, bowed slightly, and looked at Teng Yuhu and Su Bai with clear eyes.
I have to say that his tone is very sincere, and his attitude and etiquette are impeccable. Fortunately, the other party also helped him, Su Bai took the lead in responding, stepped forward to hold the man's hand, and said:
"Su Bai, it's a pleasure to meet Your Excellency. Also, thank you for taking care of my brother. ”
The man smiled heartily, shook his hand, and said:
"Under Qin Shoucheng. ”
