On this day, the two came to a small town called Qingshui, which was less than a hundred miles away from Lingzhou Mansion. As soon as you enter the town, you will see that the streets are empty, and only occasionally you can see a few people walking around the streets. They all looked blank, like the walking dead. Nangong Mo and the others abandoned their horses and walked into the town in the most ordinary cloth clothes, but as soon as they got closer, the people looked frightened as if they had seen the plague god and hurriedly dispersed.

The two glanced at each other with some confusion, this town was close to the Lingzhou Mansion, so they did not find the looting of the flood. That's why it's weird that the town is so quiet. Not only are there no homeless refugees, but even the number of original people is far from enough.

Let's stay here tonight, and go to Lingzhou tomorrow. Nangong Mo looked at Wei Jun Mo and said. Wei Junmo nodded wordlessly.

The two walked into an inconspicuous inn on the side of the street, and this inn seemed to be the only one open on the entire street, so they didn't have to be too fussy when they went out.

Walking into the somewhat small and dim inn, a shopkeeper in his fifties who was described as thin walked out, looking at them with a little guard, two guest officers, staying in the hotel?

Ye Li nodded and smiled: Yes, an upper room.

The shopkeeper smiled a little dryly: Where is there a room in our small place, just to give passers-by a rest. Nangong Modao: That's okay, just one room.

Yes, the little ones will take two of them. The shopkeeper nodded in response. Nangong Mo frowned slightly, this shopkeeper is not young, and he doesn't look very well, but not to mention the second child in this inn, there is not even a family member who helps. It was as if the whole inn was supported by this old shopkeeper. Nangong Mo remembered that it seemed that he had stepped into this town... Or in the period of time they were close to Lingzhou Mansion, they had not seen a man in the prime of life appear.

Nangong Mo raised his eyes to look at Wei Junmo beside him, and Wei Junmo reached out to hold her hand. Feeling the faint warmth coming from the palm of his hand, Nangong Mo smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

I followed the shopkeeper to the guest room in the backyard and settled down, there were only two of them in the inn now, and the whole courtyard seemed to be empty, empty and quiet, making people feel a little lonely.

He took them to the guest room and the shopkeeper withdrew. Entering the room, Nangong Mo looked at it casually, although the room was not big and a little simple, but the cleaning was very clean. Walking to the table in the room and sitting down, Nangong Mo frowned and said: This town is so strange. Wei Junmo sat down beside her and nodded slightly: There are only frail old people and children in the town, and there are not many men or even young women who are not in their prime. Moreover, the people of the town seem to be very taboo against outsiders.

As soon as they walked into the town, there were many pairs of eyes staring at them. There was no malice in his eyes, but it was not kind, but rather guarded, fearful, worried, as if they were not welcome.

Nangong Mo rubbed his eyebrows and said: This Qingshui Town is not used and has not been washed by the flood, it stands to reason that there should be many talents here. The original inhabitants of the town, as well as the displaced refugees. Those refugees can't go to the direction of Jinling, so they will definitely gather near Lingzhou. But now, it is clearly quiet, too quiet.

Wei Junmo raised his hand and gently brushed the hair around her ear, and said softly: Don't worry, you will always know.

Well. Nangong Mo nodded.

Two guest officers. The voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door, and the two of them naturally heard the footsteps a long time ago. However, the shopkeeper did not mean to hide it, so they naturally did not care.

Wei Junmo opened the door, and the shopkeeper stood at the door, squatting with a pot of tea in his hand, and said: The little one will bring some tea to the two of you.

Thanks a lot. Wei Junmo said lightly, turned sideways to open the door and let him in.

The shopkeeper seemed to be a little afraid of Wei Junmo, carefully put the tea on the table, and said to Zhongnangong Mo: The shop... Nowadays, there is no food, and if they don't bring dry food, they only have some ordinary food. What if... If you are not used to it, the Fenglai Building in the east of the town in front is open. But... looked at Nangong Mo, and the shopkeeper said with some embarrassment: This town is unstable, and it's better not to go out when it's late.

Nangong Mo smiled slightly, nodded and said: Thank you for the shopkeeper's mention, the shopkeeper... Why does this Qingshui town look so deserted?

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he said: This... The laborers in the town all went out to work in Lingzhou City, so it was a little deserted. The small one doesn't disturb the son and the lady to rest, and the little one... Small retirements. Watching the shopkeeper's footsteps leave a little messy, the two of them did not stop him. Obviously, the shopkeeper was hiding something from them, or all the people in the town were forced to hide it from the people from other places.

Let's go to Fenglai Tower to have a look, shall we? Nangong Mo asked. It's a little strange that a restaurant is still open when the whole town is empty. Along the way, almost all the shops in the town were closed.

Wei Junmo nodded lightly, with a thoughtful meaning in his eyes.

There was no need for two people to go out, and soon someone came to the door. Outside the courtyard, there was a sudden uproar, faintly sandwiched by the shopkeeper's powerless obstruction and explanation. Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo glanced at each other, and both got up and went out.

Seven or eight men appeared out of nowhere outside the hospital, the first of whom was only twenty-four or five years old, with a fairly good face, but his face was very arrogant and fierce. He squinted at the shopkeeper and said, "Old man, you are so bold to deceive Uncle Ben." Uncle Ben just received the news that there is a beautiful little girl in your inn, you dare to say no.

The shopkeeper's emaciated face was full of bitterness and grievances, and he said: Don't dare... There is only one husband and wife living in the shop, and... It's not .......

The man couldn't help but look up and laugh, and said, "It turns out that she is a little lady who is already married." That's okay, don't call them out yet. If that little lady really looks like that, so beautiful and fragrant, maybe the lord will reward you if she is in a good mood.

This... This...

The shopkeeper hesitated, but the man was a little impatient, and kicked the old man to the point where he was about to break in, the old thing, and the old thing got in the way! Brothers, come in with me and have a look, if you really find a beautiful lady, we brothers can get some benefits. The crowd also started to laugh, and they all let out a burst of tacit laughter.

Are you looking for us? A laughing Qingyue voice came from inside. Everyone hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, they saw a pair of young men and women standing not far away, looking at them. Although both of them are wearing inconspicuous cloth clothes, their faces... The man in the lead couldn't help but stay on the spot after just one look. The man in Tsing Yi looked indifferent, and his eyes were as sharp as knives. It was handsome and beautiful that he had never seen before, which made people who were also men feel a sense of hostility in their hearts. That's it, no matter how handsome he looks, he is a man, but the woman in a light blue cloth dress is...... After thinking about it for a long time, the man could only come up with one adjective - like a fairy.

Even though there were definitely not a few women they had seen, they had never seen such a beautiful woman. Dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, her jet-black hair was gently pulled up by a blue headband, the woman's eyebrows were delicate and beautiful, but with a unique temperament that she had never seen in other women.

Little lady, what's the benefit of following this little white face? It's better to go back with us, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and ensure that you live a good life. The man came back to his senses, glanced at Wei Junmo with disdain, and smiled at Nangong Moxie.

Nangong Mo put one hand around Wei Junmo's arm to prevent him from making a move, and said with a smile: You want to take me back? Why?

The man's eyes were full and he said with a smile: A beauty like you, of course, you have to be supported by people with fine clothes and food. How distressing it is to live in such a shabby inn with this kid, and to suffer in coarse cloth clothes. You say, don't you?

The person who followed the man looked at Wei Junmo, who had a cold face, and suddenly showed a malicious smile on his face, and said, "Boss, this little white face can also be brought back." Bring it back and give it to Sister Hong, doesn't she like those beautiful men the most? When the man heard this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, touched his chin and smiled at Wei Junmo and said: Since this is the case, the two of them will take it back together.

Wei Junmo narrowed his eyes slightly, but his arm was pulled by the people around him. looked down at Nangong Mo, but saw that she was smiling innocently and said, "Qingxing, why don't we go and have a look." The inn looks so small and dilapidated that I don't want to live.

The man at the head hurriedly smiled and said: Yes, yes, where do we have a good house, and the girl can live whatever she wants.

Nangong Mo asked: When we came over, we found that there were not many people in the town, could it be that they were also invited by you to enjoy the blessings?

The man smiled and said, "Girl, this blessing is not something that everyone can think of." Let's go first, and you'll know what kind of good place it is.

Okay. Nangong Mo pulled Wei Junmo and walked out, saying as he walked: I really don't want to stay in this place at all.

So, the group hugged the two and walked out of the small inn. The inn was quiet again, and the shopkeeper who had been pushed into the corner next to him crawled out tremblingly, looking at the door and the empty lobby in a daze. Suddenly, the shopkeeper's eyes were attracted by something. Slowly find some shabby tables in the hall and walk over. Teapots, teacups and trays are guarded against on the table. Next to the teacup, I don't know when there was an extra piece of broken silver, about a tael. He had just put the tea tray there, and he knew exactly what was inside. From start to finish, all that walked past that table was... The young couple.

The shopkeeper holding the silver sighed secretly, picked up the tea tray and walked in again, but the originally somewhat curved back was even more rickety.

------Off topic------

Sorry, dear friends, it's hard to keep up to date when you're away from home. I'm going back soon, and I feel so tired after going out for so many days, and I often don't exercise. I changed a hostel today, and the youth hostel I lived in before was good, but the work and rest time of the international friends next door was too weird, I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't have energy during the day~
