From time to time, there was a sound of footsteps in the culvert and a collision of something, which made people feel creepy.

Qiao Mingyue lit the fire box, and in Chunyu's frightened eyes, she strode into the culvert, and Chunyu behind her was afraid that Qiao Mingyue would be in danger, so she hurriedly followed.

The two of them walked in one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the strange thing was that the sounds they had heard before had disappeared at this moment, and the silence around them was terrible, only occasionally one or two insect chirpings hiding in the dark ditch came.

"Miss, I heard that several people have died when this culvert was dug before! Do you think it's something dirty? Chunyu was timid, so frightened that she shrank beside Qiao Mingyue, and reached out to pull Qiao Mingyue's arm tightly.

If it was in her previous life, she might not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, but she had even encountered such a thing as crossing over, and naturally she was no longer sure about the existence of ghosts and gods.

Secretly clenched Chunyu's hand, Qiao Mingyue continued to move forward, the terrain in this culvert is getting lower and lower, and on the ground, there are many deep and shallow puddles, Qiao Mingyue looked at these puddles, her eyes were deep, she really didn't expect that there was still such a place in the north, which had not rained for several months.

You must know that even if you dig a well and dig it for about ten meters, you may not be able to get water, and there are still these puddles here.

Continuing to walk forward, Qiao Mingyue only felt a little cold and swishing wind, and Chunyu suddenly screamed, hugged Qiao Mingyue, and her little face turned pale with fright.

"Ghosts! There are ghosts! Chunyu trembled and pointed to a place, this is a culvert for drainage, so the passage extends in all directions, and the place where Chunyu pointed is a corner, Qiao Mingyue looked at Chunyu's fingers, but saw nothing.

While comforting Chunyu, Qiao Mingyue said softly: "Chunyu, are you too nervous so you read it wrong?" What's the hell here? Don't scare yourself! ”

From the very beginning, when Chunyu heard the movement, she planted a seed in her heart, and now she is much more sensitive than others when it comes to a little wind and grass.

"It's not! Princess, there really is a ghost, I just saw a black shadow lying over there looking at us! Chunyu's words made Qiao Mingyue can't help but feel a chill behind her, she took a deep breath, determined to see what the hell is doing with ghosts!

Holding the torch in his hand with one hand and the dagger at his waist with the other, the two of them turned around and walked in the direction of the fork in the road.

After reassuring her, Qiao Mingyue continued to walk forward, and Chunyu was helpless, so she could only trot up and keep up.

Staying where she is, she is even more afraid!

Walking forward, Chunyu suddenly kicked something, she looked down, and almost fainted.

I saw a four or five-year-old child lying on the ground, already out of breath, and a rancid smell came to his face, and people couldn't help but gause.

Qiao Mingyue endured the smell and squatted down, took a closer look at the torch, and saw that the child's body had already grown corpse spots, and the child looked very thin and skinny.

Qiao Mingyue stood up, pulled Chunyu and continued to walk forward, saying as she walked: "I told you not to be afraid, next to the corpse of the child just now, there are actually several corpses of adults, it seems that they should have starved to death, they should be the people fleeing in the city, but they don't look like a family, how can they die in one place!"

Qiao Mingyue muttered while observing the surroundings, suddenly, a black shadow flashed and ran towards the depths of the culvert, a trace of coldness flashed on Qiao Mingyue's face, "I want to run!" ”

She snorted coldly, her feet sped up, and Chunyu behind her could only chase Qiao Mingyue hard.

I don't know how long it took to chase for Qiao Mingyue to grab the person in front of him, the person was not very old, like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, but he had a dirty little face and looked very embarrassed.

The young man was caught and was not honest, he was kicking and beating and wanted to break free from Qiao Mingyue's shackles, Chunyu gasped and caught up, and when he saw that it was not a ghost, he suddenly became angry, reached out and pinched the young man's ears, and poured out the words of blame in his mouth.

"So you are here to pretend to be a ghost, saying, who are you? What are you doing here? Seeing the young man's grinning appearance as she dragged his ears and hurt, Qiao Mingyue helplessly reached out and rescued the young man from Chunyu's hands.

The young man's eyes were as clear as a pair of deer's eyes, without superfluous impurities, he tilted his head to look at Qiao Mingyue, and said with some difficulty: "Here, my home!"

"Joke! This is obviously a culvert in Yong'an City, how did it become your home! Chunyu pursed her lips disdainfully, seeing that Qiao Mingyue was protecting the young man, she didn't want to make any more trouble, so she just ran to the side angrily.

The boy still insisted that this was his home, and Qiao Mingyue found that the boy walked in the dark, but he didn't need light at all, and when the torch was close to him, he would squint his eyes uncomfortably.

What's more...... The young man in front of him was really a little strange, the skin on his body was a little frighteningly white, not white, but abnormal, almost sickly white.

Looking at the young man, Qiao Mingyue softened her voice and said softly: "This is your home, what about your family?"

There was no slightest guard in the young man's ignorant eyes, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the depths, Qiao Mingyue continued to ask, only to learn that the young man had actually lived here for more than ten years, almost since he could remember, no wonder he was able to walk normally in this darkness even if he didn't light a torch.

It's just that...... It was only a matter of the past two years that the disaster occurred in the Northland, as far as she knew, the Northland was quite rich before, why did this young man's family choose to hide in the culvert and stay for more than ten years?

There were many doubts in her heart, Qiao Mingyue decided to meet the family in the young man's mouth, the young man was not guarded, nodded and agreed, but when he looked at Chunyu, he stuck out his tongue at Chunyu.

The young man led the way in front, Qiao Mingyue followed him forward, and when he came to a large place where water was stored, the young man pointed inside, raised the torch, the torch illuminated the darkness, and everything in front of him shocked Qiao Mingyue.

I saw that in the world in front of me, there were more than a dozen people, men, women, old and young, looking towards Qiao Mingyue one by one, no more pure and immaculate than a young man, and the eyes of these people in front of them were full of hostility.

"Nian'er, why did you bring outsiders here?"
