17. Black-winged Bird Part II
The small village called the sentry post on the edge of the Black Tower, the next few families were gone, and according to the old woman, unidentified people suddenly came from the direction of Banli City, so they pulled each other together, trying to escape from the swamp by themselves in this season.

Of course, they apparently did not know what was in the swamp, but had the audacity to defy the admonition handed down by the previous generation - "You can only pass in the snow and ice of winter." ”
The reason why the old couple insisted on not leaving was because Mingmo hadn't come back yet.
So when Ming Mo was pulled and asked if she had seen those families, she could only smile stupidly: "Yes...... They were now with Brother Bo and went north. ”
After saying this, I regretted it, after all, I came back with all the hard work, just to escape with the old couple.
But if you really go to the swamp and see the faces in the water, or go to the temple, and there is no one in the Metzfjord, how can you tell this lie!
The small candlelight in this low hut gives the night infinite power.
Ming Mo finally couldn't help but lean on the old man's lap and made the news of his brother's death clear.
"Let's run!"
She still said it, after all, it was useless to be anxious, the most important thing was to leave here first: "Let's run away together, Brother Bo Ling said, let's go all the way to the north, go to the rest of the capital, where the safest ......"
The old man sat in the rocking chair and said with a smile: "Okay...... Ming Mo said where to go, we will go! ”
The old woman looked at the two men worriedly.
Ming Mo knew that she was worried about her grandfather's body, indeed, such a long way, with only her feet, it was impossible to think no matter what.
"It's fine!" The old man reached out at this time and patted Ming Mo's frustrated head, "Let's take a boat over, bring everything we can bring, and go to Muzi to change a good horse, this way, there must be a place to stay...... You don't have to worry about Grandpa's body, let's go together! Just go out to see if it's the first time you've grown so big! ”
Ming Mo nodded, and the two old men lovingly hugged her in their arms, so that she couldn't see the tears flickering in the corners of her eyes, and only said vigorously: "Tomorrow at dawn, we will leave this place together!" ”
After a while, the old woman finally couldn't help but show a worried look, and got up again and pulled Ming Mo all the way into the door.
"There is a man who said he came from Banli City."
After turning around, he came to the barn where the grain was stacked, where Fang Ruoli calmed Zhu'er who had fallen asleep and turned to look at her.
"A man with a girl ......"
The words of the woman in black suddenly came back to her mind, she slowly sat down beside Fang Ruobao, who knew that before he could speak, Fang Ruobao took the first step and asked, "You are Ming Mo?" ”
"As a result, you know me......"
"What do you mean?"
Zhu'er rolled over in her sleep, her small forehead leaning hard towards the place where Fang Ruoli was, looking dependent.
Ming Mo looked at her and only felt indescribable depression.
Why did such a small person live out, and his brother, such a tall person, had nothing left.
At this moment, the huge calmness squeezed out the sadness in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be loosened, although the tears were not able to dry out on his face, but in his eyes, there was indeed nothing.
"There was a woman, dressed in black, and she asked me to bring you a ......"
Fang Ruoyao's expression was suddenly grim, and his brows were almost together.
He clearly saw the change in the girl at this moment, like a black needle, falling, and the person in front of him did not dodge it in the slightest.
Although it is not enough to cause any impact, a person's heart, perhaps from this moment on, becomes different.
"What did she say?"
"She!" Ming Mo pursed her lips and smiled, obviously not frightened by Fang Ruo's appearance, "...... What happened in Half Mile City? Why are you the only ......ones who live out?"
The truth of the story is not as people guess, although they still can't believe the existence of the empty ringing hall, let alone believe that all the people in Banli City died at the hands of a worm.
And the person in front of him, as well as the woman in black called Shuqing, were the ones who single-handedly caused the current ending, not the people from Lu Dong.
On the contrary, the feared group of men called the army did nothing.
"Why...... Why? ”
Ming Mo still asked without giving up.
"I said it all, I'm sorry for your brother's death, I have already told you what you want to know, and the rest, I'm sorry, you don't have the right to know."
"Then why are you!"
Ming Mo got up angrily and slapped Fang Ruobao in the face.
Then she was stunned, because the man in front of her looked so strong, and he had something to do with the legendary Kongxiangtang, so it was impossible to avoid it, unless he didn't think about hiding.
"I should pay you back," he turned back to her coldly...... "I never do anything unnecessary, so if you dare to ask again, don't blame me for being rude!" ”
Then Fang Ruobao got up and tidied up his clothes, and left Zhu'er in the warehouse of Ming Mo's house according to Shuqing's instructions, and disappeared into the night alone.
By the time it was almost dawn, the old woman had already packed up her belongings and pushed open the barn door in the morning light.
Ming Mo cried alone all night, and finally collapsed on the thick straw mat.
The old woman stepped forward and shook her arm, looking at her face that was gradually sobering up: "Why are you alone?" ”
Ming Mo sat up at this time, and saw that where Zhu'er slept before, the straw was kicked into a neat arc by her hands and feet.
And the child who just fell asleep regardless of the quarrels in the outside world has long been gone.
"Could it be that the person came back and took him away again?"
Ming Mo just asked.
Then the old woman began to comb Ming Mo's unkempt hair as usual, but she sat quietly, grinning and thinking about her thoughts.
Indeed, whatever, we are all about to run away anyway, who still has the heart to take care of a small child, it should be the man named Fang Ruobai, who is back again.
"Let's go, grandpa is waiting for us outside."
The two men had just finished cleaning up, and as soon as they came out of the barn, they saw the old man rushing into the door in a panic.
His feet were weak in front of the two of them, but he grabbed Ming Mo's arm very strongly.
"Quick!" He shoved the man into the room, "Hide the child!" ”
