Jinshui Town is located in the land of Jingnan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the whole town because the Jinshui River runs through the town and get the name, the townspeople are born by the water, come and go are dependent on boats, is a veritable water town, in the past, every time the sunset, the red sunset will always dye the water surface golden, reflecting the houses on both sides, it is simply a fairyland on earth.

But since the bell rang at Garanji Temple, the once clear water of the river has somehow become filthy and smells of fish and decay. The people who could drag their families away have already left, and there are only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the town, and those who do not want to leave.

But for some reason, as long as the people of the town leave, they will soon suffer from a strange disease, and there will be no cure. And infect everyone he has come into contact with, so that the strange disease spreads like a fire in the center of Jinshui Town.

At first, no one noticed until several small towns centered on Jinshui Town were infected with strange diseases. After careful investigation, it was discovered, but it was too late, and no matter what the precautions were, people were infected with strange diseases every day, and people died every day.

The mad old man in the town heard that the departed people had contracted strange diseases, and he began to walk the streets and alleys shouting God, God.

This is also the end of Bailichi and Garo's purpose this time.

Baili Chi is very curious about what kind of strange disease, as a doctor, he has a great interest in solving the intractable diseases in the world, and whenever there is a difficult case that is difficult to solve, he will travel thousands of miles. This time was no exception, not to mention, he suspected that it was all related to the coming of the apocalypse.

Seven days later, Bailichi and Jiaruo walked into Jinshui Town.

Because the river had become so filthy that the boats would rot after a while, they entered the town from a bridge built by the townspeople. From the moss-covered buildings with a faint smell of decay, you can see how glorious and prosperous the town once was. The dead branches and leaves on the ground have been mixed with the weeds growing between the bluestone slabs, and they are all withered and yellow. Occasionally, people jumped their burdens and walked through the streets and shouted, but more often people sat at the door, smoking dry cigarettes or tightly closing the door.

Seeing strangers walking into town, most of them looked wary. Bailichi and Jia Ruo exchanged glances, and he walked up to an old man who looked quite kind, and crouched down.

"Sir, may I ask if there is a family surnamed Lou in this town, our two brothers came from Mobei and came to join their relatives, but when they arrived, they found that the town had become like this." Bai Lichi's face was calm and sincere when he said this, with anxiety and doubt in his eyes, and he couldn't see what he said at all, but he was talking nonsense.

The old man took a puff of dry cigarette, spit out smoke rings, and knocked the cigarette gun on the ground casually. After carefully looking at Bailichi and Jiaruo in front of them, the two of them were wearing the most common blue cotton clothes, with faint stubble on the cuffs and neckline, and a slight tiredness on their faces. Sure that there was nothing special about the two of them, the old man paused and spoke. "There are dozens of families surnamed Lou in the town, but there are probably more than a dozen after moving away, it should be in the area west of the town, you can go there and inquire."

A grateful smile appeared on Bai Lichi's face. He rubbed his hands together. Another look of embarrassment. "May I ask the old man, is there any other place in this town where I can stay?"

The old man glanced at Bailichi and pointed in one direction. "A quarter of an hour's walk down this road will bring you to the Wanfu Inn, the only inn in town that is still open."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, old man." Baili Chi showed an expression of gratitude, bowed to the old man, and then stood up and walked with Jia Ruo to the direction pointed by the old man. Jia Ruo watched Baili Chi's hard performance, and he was silent. He didn't speak until he had walked far away.

"It's a shame that you don't do a business."

Baili Chi was interested after hearing this, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Oh, what the hell is it?"

Jia Ruo looked at Bai Lichi, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke softly. "Charlatans, don't want money if you don't know what to do." With that, he strode forward. Leaving Baili Chi standing in place in a daze.

"yes, you kid, you've learned to joke." Baili Chi laughed angrily, he rolled up his sleeves, strode after Jiaruo, and slapped Jiaruo's shoulder.

All the way down the street to the center of the town, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, but only a dozen or so people. Among them, most of them are elderly, and most of them are the same as the people at the entrance of the town, with a blank look on their faces. It seems to be resigned to fate, and it seems to be afraid of something.

Looking at them quietly, Baili Chi and Jia Ruo soon arrived at the Wanfu Inn. The inn was cold and cold, but there were two or three tables of customers, and the shopkeeper was squatting boredly at the door, with a towel on his shoulder, as if he was frustrated by the sluggish business. He looked up and saw Garo and Baili Chi walking in, and at first he was puzzled, but then he stood up with a happy face. Speak in a brisk tone.

"Yo, two guest officers, look at the face, eat or stay in the hotel, come and come, there is only one in the town without a semicolon, the environment is elegant, and you are satisfied......"

I walked into the inn behind the shopkeeper, and saw the shopkeeper and part-time bookkeeper napping on the counter a little bored. The chef was also sitting in the lobby of the inn, shaking a fan in his hand.

The shopkeeper diligently wiped the chair and motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then wiped the table again, and asked with a smile. "What do you want to eat?"

Bailichi smiled and asked. "I don't know what's in the store."

The shopkeeper straightened his chest and began to count them one by one. "If you say that the most famous thing in this Jingnan is naturally the noodle soup, and then it is accompanied by a secret side dish and a pot of Ambilight, the taste is amazing." As he spoke, he had a look of intoxication on his face.

Jia Ruo frowned slightly, and interrupted the intoxication of the shopkeeper. "Then two bowls of noodle soup, with side dishes and wine."

"Okay, two bowls of noodle soup with side dishes—" shouted the shopkeeper, and the chef stood up and walked to the kitchen. But in a quarter of an hour, the shopkeeper walked out of the kitchen with noodles, side dishes and wine.

Taking advantage of the shopkeeper's approach, Baili Chi lowered his voice, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. "Little brother, can I ask how this town is, our brother came from Mobei to join his relatives, but when he arrived, he found that the town was barren, which is at a loss, I think you have a good face, can you tell us about it."

As soon as the shopkeeper wanted to refuse, he found that there was an extra money bag with a heavy cushion in his hand, and he weighed it with his hand, and the refusal he wanted to say turned into a smile. After looking left and right and no one looked at him, he sat down. There was a look of mystery on his face, and his voice was so low that he could only hear it if he listened carefully.

"I see that you are from Mobei, I just told you so carefully, this town, since the bell of the Garan Temple rang, one day the river suddenly floated up a corpse, eh, don't mention it, the corpse has been soaked in human shape, this ......" He looked at Jia Ruo and Bai Li Chi still eating noodles in front of him, and he couldn't help but show a sneer.

"It's okay, although the little second brother said it, this brother of mine and I are also doing pig killing business on weekdays, and we have seen a lot of bloody things." Bai Li Chi smiled lightly and motioned for the shopkeeper to continue.

After hearing Bailichi say that he killed pigs, the shopkeeper continued to speak, "Isn't the corpse miserable, the mayor ordered us to fish up the corpse and take it to Yizhuang for cremation, but it's so coincidental." The shopkeeper couldn't help but pat his thigh again, and then he glanced around and lowered his voice again. Who would have thought that the widow Qian, whose dead husband in the town, looked at the clothes, and had to say that it was her dead husband, not only did she not let her be cremated, but she also had to hold the corpse and cry, the mayor of the town had no choice but to let the widow Qian take people away. ”

Doubts crossed Garo's eyes. "Why is this money widow and a woman and a child, and the mayor of the town still afraid of it?"

The shopkeeper frowned, as if he had thought of something, and he sighed a little unspeakably, but he sighed heavily. "This widow is the only daughter of the big Qian official in the town, ...... here," the shopkeeper said and pointed his finger. There are some problems, Qian Daguan is just such a baby bump, naturally he will say anything, and the mayor is also right. ”

"This ...... What happened after that? ”

The shopkeeper patted his head, "Yes, yes, you see, I'm off topic." The widow cried for several days holding the corpse, insisting that her corpse had been killed and that the murderer had to be found before she could be buried in peace. In this matter, the servants and doctors in the government said that they couldn't do it, but the widow had to go her own way. But she didn't jump for a few days before she died very strangely......"

"Dead?" Garo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The shopkeeper said excitedly, and couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. "But isn't it, dead, the one who died is called a miserable scream, blood splattered three feet. But what is even more strange is that the body that was salvaged from the river is missing. When Qian Daguan was angry, he had to find out, but after a month of investigation, he ended up without a problem. In the end, it was just a headless case. ”

Bai Lichi had some guesses in his heart, but he was still silent on his face. "But what does this have to do with the current situation in the town?"

"Ever since the death of Widow Qian, for some reason, there has been an inexplicable eerie atmosphere in the town, and then the river of Jinshui has for some reason begun to become turbid, and it still smells of fish and stench, and it is getting darker and darker. Then the people in the town began to move away one after another, and maybe your relatives who came to join also moved away. As he spoke, the shopkeeper picked up the peanuts on the table that hadn't been touched much, and threw them into his mouth.

"I saw that many old people in the town didn't leave, and the second brother didn't leave either." Bailichi continued to ask.

"Hey, it's not like you're going to die, if you don't leave, you're waiting to die, it's better to stay ......here if you go to where the wars are raging one after another" The little second brother glanced helplessly, at this time the shopkeeper who was napping on the counter seemed to be about to wake up, and the shopkeeper hurriedly stood up and began to pretend to wipe the table.

Bailichi and Jia Ruo exchanged glances inconsiderably and nodded.

"Little second brother, settle the bill, and open two upper rooms for us." Bailichi took out the money bag from his arms again.

The shopkeeper shouted, stretched out his hand and motioned for Jia Ruo and Bai Lichi to follow him upstairs. "Okay. The guest officer followed me upstairs—"
