Tongzhou is not the county seat of Kuidou County.

However, it was the city that suffered the most damage from the war.

Today, half a year later, the city walls that collapsed during the war between the two countries have not been completely repaired.

On the current city wall, there are only wooden planks written horizontally and some wooden stakes inserted.

The city gate was opened, and the soldiers under the gate were listless, and they also allowed pedestrians to enter and exit.

However, on the contrary, the pedestrians, vehicles and horses in and out are extremely vigilant, vigilant to the every move of everyone else around.

"What the hell is going on, and why is this happening?"

Standing far away outside the city and looking at the direction of the city gate, Dongfang Shuo stopped and asked the bandit leader who was following him.

The bandit leader looked at the city gate in the distance, and sighed and said: "Although the war is over, the big people in Tongzhou City still don't seem to be willing to compromise easily, and Tongzhou is not a big city, and the Guihai Empire is not concerned about Tongzhou City. ”

"Oh, so Tongzhou City is now in a state of leaderlessness?"

Dongfang Shuo said, his eyes suddenly showed a little interest.

At this time, Xuanzhong at the back looked at the city, and said coldly: "Can such a broken city that no one wants, can it be regarded as a group of dragons, you can't help but exalt them too much, right?"

"Don't be noisy about the defeated generals. ”

Dongfang Shuo glanced at him.

"You!"

Xuanzhong was furious, but soon wilted.

can't fight Dongfang Shuo, and he can be regarded as helpless.

"But before we get down to business, we have another place to go. ”

Dongfang Shuo said, and when he said this, he looked at the little girl beside him and asked, "Do you remember here?"

The little girl looked at the city in front of her and nodded.

"And where is your home?"

Dongfang Shuo asked again.

The little girl slowly raised her hand and pointed in one direction.

In that direction, there are no pedestrians.

After Dongfang Shuo sank his gaze, he took the little girl's hand and walked in that direction.

Several people behind him also moved again and followed.

When the official road came to an end, the road began to become muddy, and gradually paved with stones and leaves, and under the leaves, Dongfang Shuo could also see the footprints of some wild beasts.

The further you go on this road, the less it looks like a place where there are people.

And Dongfang Shuo also noticed that as they deepened, the little girl's strength in grabbing her hand also increased unconsciously.

Finally, the clouds are clear.

After breaking through a few branches blocking the road, a village came into view.

The village is backed by a mountain with a river flowing through it.

When the sun shines down, the whole vision is bright.

But under this light, the village was dead.

As far as the eye can see, large swaths of houses have collapsed, and moss and weeds have grown on the ruins.

Not far away, the top of a small tree opened the bricks that buried it, and it swayed in the wind under the surrounding ruins.

"Is this it?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The little girl didn't answer, just let go of Dongfang Shuo's hand and walked straight forward.

Eventually, she stopped at the entrance of the village and picked up the scraps of something from the side of the road.

Dongfang Shuo walked to her side, looked down, and saw the things in her hands clearly.

It was a broken sachet, and most of the spices in it had been washed away by the rain, and then the remaining spices began to rot and stink due to dampness, exposure, etc., giving off an uncomfortable smell.

The little girl lost the sachet and couldn't help but vomit.

Dongfang Shuo turned around the spiritual power and poured into her body, which stopped her discomfort.

"This is a sachet made by Xiao Zhuzi's mother for him, and I heard him say that several spices in it were brought back by his father from thousands of miles, which is very precious. ”

The little girl looked at the sachet at her feet and said this, but did not pick it up again.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the little girl, and reached out to touch her head.

But then, Dongfang Shuo's eyes were looking at the ruins in another direction.

Behind the ruins, he felt a breath.

Or rather, more than one share.

Whew.

At this moment, behind Ji Henghu and the others, there was a sudden sound in the direction of the bushes, and several large nets flew out from there, covering Dongfang Shuo and the others.

Sass.

A fierce wind swept up from the ground, and the moment it swept through those nets, it tore them apart.

These are just ordinary nets.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill!"

Immediately after, from all directions, I remembered the sound of the teenagers rushing and killing.

At the same time, more than two dozen teenagers rushed out from all directions, each with a weapon in his hand.

But it's not so much a weapon as a farm tool and kitchen utensils, and the best one is just a half-finished machete.

Sa!

With his gaze sweeping, Dongfang Shuo's mind moved, and his spiritual power instantly expanded outward, and in the blink of an eye, a shield visible to the naked eye was formed around the five people.

Pong!

Boom!

All kinds of 'blades' smashed on the spiritual shield, but it was like smashing on fine iron, not only did it fail to shatter, but it cracked itself.

And several of these teenagers were shaken back by the force of the recoil because they used too much force.

"Wang Xiaozhu, Wang Xiao, why are you!"

Suddenly, the little girl beside Dongfang Shuo screamed.

At this time, the teenagers glanced at each other, and the eldest of them spoke, "Erya, are you still alive?"

"Of course I'm still alive, what are you talking about?"

The little girl said.

Seeing this situation, Dongfang Shuo turned his hand sideways and withdrew his spiritual power.

Immediately, after the eldest Wang Xiaozhu looked at the few people beside him, he put down the half-finished machete in his hand.

And seeing Wang Xiaozhu put down the machete, the rest of the people also put down their 'weapons'.

"Little girl, are they your acquaintances?"

Oriental Shuo Road.

This surprised him a little, there were survivors in this terrible village.

"yes, they're all friends who grew up with me. ”

The little girl said.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes.

His gaze swept over the two dozen people around him, the murderous aura in their eyes just now was real, and even now, Dongfang Shuo saw numbness and wildness in their faces and eyes.

"Erya, it's really good that you're still alive!"

At this time, Wang Xiaozhu, who was the first to put down his weapon, took two steps closer.

And the little girl looked at him and said, "What is going on in the village, why are there only you people, and the others?

"Well, I'm afraid the adults were taken away by the bad guys in armor, just like you. Wang Xiaozhu shook his head and said, "Everything has happened, so I won't mention it." Let's talk about you, are all the people around you friends you met outside?"
