After a period of chaos, Xie Liuyan asked, "Why do these officers and soldiers want to chase and kill you?" A long-bearded man said angrily: "Ten days ago, many troops and many people from the rivers and lakes suddenly came to our city, saying that there were some monsters in the city that wanted to come out of the ground, and began to drive us out of the pearl city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Most of us left, and we were the only ones who thought they were just looking for an excuse to drive us away, and didn't believe in the monsters, and we didn't expect that they would use their weapons early this morning and chase us all the way here. ”

Zhao Jiakang was shocked in his heart: "The army drove away all of you ordinary people in the city? ”

A white-haired old man said bitterly: "They are all driven away, and if they don't leave, they will kill on a large scale, and many people will die along the way." "A few people thought of their relatives in their hometown, and they all cried bitterly, and the rest couldn't persuade them, and they also wept themselves.

"Little girl, little girl!" Zhao Jiakang's face turned pale. Xie Liuyan persuaded: "Xiao Yaji's natural appearance must be fine." Doesn't it mean that at the beginning, the army just drove people out of the city, and did not use weapons to hurt people? She was an outsider, and she had nothing to do with in the city, so she said she would leave. ”

Zhao Jiakang heard Xie Liuyan say this, and thought it was good, so he was a little relieved. He asked the people, "Have you ever seen a little girl with such a tall and strange face when you were in the city?" After listening to Zhao Jiakang's description, everyone shook their heads and said, "I didn't notice it." ”

Zhao Jiakang was disappointed, thought about it, and said to Xie Liuyan: "I still have to go to Pearl City." Xie Liuyan nodded and said, "Then it's better to be sooner rather than later, let's go here." Zhao Jiakang nodded to her gratefully and said to everyone: "We are going to Pearl City, and everyone should go to find relatives and friends as soon as possible, find a place to live first, and then make future plans slowly." ”

Everyone said: "Thank you two young heroes for your concern, we will take care of ourselves, you guys be more careful!" ”

Zhao Jiakang and Xie Liuyan gave up their words, turned around and wanted to leave, a young woman holding a baby separated from everyone, hurriedly walked over, and stopped them: "Two young heroes, my child was born yesterday, and today he suffered this catastrophe, if it wasn't for the two rescuers, it would be difficult to escape this catastrophe." The lives of our two mothers and daughters were saved by our benefactors, and we asked the benefactor to give her her name, so that she could be honored with the value of her benefactor, add happiness and happiness, and live a peaceful life. ”

Zhao Jiakang and Xie Liuyan stopped, and when they turned around, they saw that the young woman had a young face, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a thin baby in her arms, crying with her mouth open, but she was so weak that she couldn't make a sound. Xie Liuyan sighed in his heart: "What about your husband, why isn't he around?" The young woman's face was furious: "He saw those officers and soldiers coming to drive people away again in the morning, so he went out to reason with them. A short time later, a soldier rushed into the house, poked a spear indiscriminately, and smashed everything to pieces. My mother-in-law was in a hurry, I went up to fight with him, the soldier poked my mother-in-law through with a shot, and waited to kill me and the child, my mother-in-law fought her last breath and hugged his feet, telling me to run, my mind was blank, I was godless, and I didn't know how to hold my daughter and ran out. My husband's life and death are still unknown. ”

Zhao Jiakang touched the baby's tender face, and said to Xie Liuyan: "I don't know how to name it, you can give her a name!" Xie Liuyan thought for a while and said: "You also said, I hope she has a safe life, her name is Pingping, the word An'er!" ”

The young woman was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the two beneficiaries!" ”

At that moment, everyone watched Zhao Jiakang and Xie Liuyan go away, and they also scattered to relatives and friends.

Zhao Jiakang and Xie Liuyan hurried along the road, and in less than half a day, a big city appeared in front of them, and three vigorous characters were written on the city gate: "Pearl Diving City".

Zhao Jiakang looked at the empty city gate and said strangely: "Why is no one guarding the gate and letting the city gate open wide?" ”

Xie Liuyan was also puzzled: "It's weird in ancient times, let's go to the city first, and then act carefully." ”

When they entered the city, they saw several corpses lying in a pool of blood, and the smell of fish was so strong that it was suffocating. The two of them were cautious, and along the road, they could see the corpses of the local people from time to time, and to Zhao Jiakang's relief, they did not see Xiaoya's corpse. After walking in the city for a long time, there was a shocking and tragic image, Zhao Jiakang said angrily: "These soldiers don't treat the people as human beings, and they kill innocents so indiscriminately, which is no different from demons!" Xie Liuyan was silent for a while, and said, "Aren't you surprised, we have been walking around the city for so long, almost half of the city, and we haven't seen a single living person." As he spoke, a gust of wind sizzled in, endlessly gloomy and cold, with a faint ghostly sound, Xie Liuyan involuntarily tightened his clothes. Zhao Jiakang said: "Exactly, could it be that those armies plundered all and left the city?" Xie Liuyan said: "In my opinion, it's not that simple, you think that when General Nameng left, he said, 'If you are here to help, come over quickly', if there is nothing wrong with this city, why did he say that?" Just to lure us in here to make a joke, or to set up an ambush here, deliberately lure us into an ambush, it's too much to look up to us! Zhao Jiakang said: "What I said is that I think of General Nameng's appearance when he said these words, it doesn't seem to be false." At that time, they also said that there were many Jianghu people and soldiers in the city, what should they do to gather these people together? What are they plotting? Xie Liuyan said: "They must still be in this city, but why can't they see a single figure?" The two looked at each other, and they both felt that this matter was too weird, but they were afraid that there was a great danger buried in it.

"What do you think we should do?" Zhao Jiakang asked.

Xie Liuyan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Are you afraid?" ”

Zhao Jiakang was a little worried in his heart, but how could he be willing to show weakness in front of Xie Liuyan, and said loudly: "What are the demons and monsters, look at me and kill them to the ground!" ”

Xie Liuyan said with a smile: "That being the case, let's take a closer look in this city first." ”

Zhao Jiakang and Xie Liuyan continued to probe forward, and suddenly a shout came from afar, Zhao Jiakang's heart tightened, and said, "There is movement!" ”

The two of them rushed to the source, ran not far away, only to see several fires burning between the road, and the sound of miserable screams came from the fires.

Zhao Jiakang and Xie Liuyan saw such a tragic image, and they both had heart palpitations, and Xie Liuyan couldn't help but hold Zhao Jiakang's arm tightly.

Zhao Jiakang saw that those who were on fire could not die for a while, and he couldn't bear it, so he leaned over and picked it up, and stabbed the gun at a nearby burning man. As soon as the spear came into contact with the flame, the fire spread like a snake down the shaft of the spear.
