Chapter 67: Crescent Town

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingyi felt a little funny and said, "I'm curious why your name is Lone, don't you have your own family's surname?" This question is indeed what Xia Qingyi has always wanted to ask.

Hearing Xia Qingyi ask this question, Su Xiaran, who was walking in front, also turned around and looked at Gu curiously, she was also very interested in her name, how could a girl in the mood for love be called such a name.

And after hearing about his name, Lone's mood that was still sunny suddenly became depressed, making Xia Qingyi think that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, if I offend, I'll take back my previous words." ”

Gu slowly spoke, "It's okay, about my name, my master helped me come up with it. I heard that Master said that I had been an orphan since I was a child, and I didn't know who my biological parents were, but Master once went out and found me, so he took me back, and later saw that I was talented in bows and arrows, so he took me as an apprentice. ”

Seeing that Gu was an orphan, Xia Qingyi said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect this to be the case, I'm sorry, then your master called you Gu for convenience, right?" ”

Gu shook his head and said: "No, my master said that my life was rough, and I was an orphan, and I was destined to be lonely in this life, so he named me Gu, hoping that I would be able to adapt to such a state of prudence and independence in the future, but so far, I still can't seem to do it." ”

Seeing her say this, Xia Qingyi and Su Xiaran also understood. Originally, Su Xiaran didn't like Lone's noisy personality very much, but now seeing that she has a similar background as herself, she has some feelings of sympathy.

Although Su Xiaran is not an orphan, she is no different from an orphan when she was seven years old. Su Feng is his father, but the parents of the Su family have always only had interests in their eyes, and they are very indifferent to family affection.

However, Su Xiaran is luckier than Gu, because she has enjoyed the days when her mother has been by her side for at least a few years, and with the love of her grandmother behind her, Su Xiaran is already very content.

But Lone is not the kind of person who has been immersed in his own grief. After a while, it was back to its original cheerful appearance. chattering in Su Xiaran's ear kept talking.

Su Xiaran spent most of her time listening, occasionally talking a few words, but Xia Qingyi chatted with her quite well. In this way, a few people had already walked out of the Xuanyun Sect as they spoke.

Thinking of choosing a carriage from the market, he set off for Crescent Town.

Su Xiaran thought for a moment. Since the three of them went to investigate the truth of the matter this time. If you go directly as a disciple of the Xuanyun Sect, it will inevitably make people vigilant in advance.

So this time they had to put it in, and they couldn't expose their side in advance, Su Xiaran said to the two: "This time, we'd better not go to Crescent City as disciples of Xuanyun Sect. ”

Xia Qingyi looked at Su Xiaran and said, "Son, you are right, I can be the sister of the two of you, and take my younger brother and sister to Crescent Town, just say that I will stay there for a few days when I pass through this place, what do you think?" ”

Su Xiaran replied: "Very good, Lonely, you don't have any opinions, right?" ”

Gu also said very cheerfully: "I think this arrangement is good, so be it, buy a carriage, I will drive in front, you sit in the back, we can be like ordinary people." ”

After discussing it. The three of them drove a carriage to Crescent Town. Slowly moving away from the central city of Feng Linguo, towards the border, I don't know what I will encounter this time.

Originally, they walked along the way, and at first Su Xiaran and they could still see some sparse people, but the closer they got to Crescent Town. The villages next to this are becoming more and more sparsely populated.

This made Su Xiaran and them feel very strange, could it be that the accident in Crescent Town had already spread to the nearby villages.

Walk on the tree-lined trails of the suburbs. Lone had tried to drive the horse as fast as he could. Thinking about hurrying to Crescent Town. In the middle, Su Xiaran and the others also passed through several towns, and they were still quite prosperous.

Now further on, it is the Crescent Moon Town where the accident occurred. Several people's hearts also rose. I thought that Crescent Town would be the same as other border towns in Fenglin Kingdom, and before entering the town, there would be two guards guarding the pass.

But when Su Xiaran and the others arrived at the town where the sign said Crescent Town, they didn't see the guards who were supposed to be guarding here. Su Xiaran didn't think much about it, and directly let Gu drive the horse in.

Now they arrived in Crescent City after dark. So the whole town is extremely lonely, there is no one. Only Su Xiaran and their carriage walked in this town without hindrance.

There was a ticking sound in the night. Lone parked the carriage behind the side of the road. Su Xiaran and Xia Qingyi also stepped down from the carriage. Su Xiaran looked at the pitch-black road.

Only the moonlight shone sporadically on the road. Gu opened his mouth and said: "Qiu Yi, you see what we will do now, at night, there is no one on the road, and I don't know if there is an inn that is still open." ”

Xia Qingyi saw that there was an inn not far in front of him, so he said, "You didn't see that there was a Fulai Inn in front, so you might as well go and ask first." You have to find a place to rest first, and if there is anything to talk about tomorrow. ”

Su Xiaran also saw the signboard of the Fulai Inn at the same time, and said: "Qingyi is right, now we have been driving for a few days overnight, so we want to take a good rest, especially you, Lonely." ”

After saying that, the three of them drove the carriage to the Fulai Inn. The Fulai Inn at night did not completely close its doors. There is still a little two lying on the counter and falling asleep.

Xia Qingyi stepped forward, gently woke up this Xiao Er, and said, "Xiao Er, do you still have a place here?" ”

The sleepy-eyed Xiao Er, when he opened his eyes, saw Xia Qingyi and the three of them, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Who are you, it seems that you are not from our Crescent Town." ”

Xia Qingyi smiled politely and said: "I'm really sorry to disturb so late, I took one of my younger brothers and a younger sister, and I was going to Jiaolong Town, passing through here, I wanted to rest here for a few days, do you see if there are two rooms?" ”

Xiao Er looked at Xia Qingyi and them strangely, and then looked at Gu specifically, and said, "Don't you know about the things in Crescent Town, and you dare to run here." ”

Su Xiaran further asked, "What's going on in Crescent Town, can you talk about it further?" ”

Xiao Er saw that he was a little too talkative, so he didn't say anything more, and said: "It's nothing, I have a lot of guest rooms here, you can go up and find two by yourself, anyway, don't stay here for a long time, one house is ten taels a night, pay the money first." ”

Su Xiaran directly gave this little two a silver ingot and said, "We may disturb for a few more days, this ingot of silver will be regarded as a reward for you, it's troublesome." Su Xiaran didn't dwell on what Xiao Er said.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything about what happened in Crescent Town, Su Xiaran was not reluctant. After paying the money, he followed Xia Qingyi and Gu to the guest room on the second floor.

Su Xiaran lives in one room alone. And Lone and Xia Qingyi live in one room. After all, Su Xiaran is still the identity of a man who is still using. Lying on the bed, Su Xiaran thought, and she didn't know where the master was now.

This Crescent Town isn't huge, and it shouldn't be difficult to inquire about him. Look at the situation when Xiao Er saw Xia Qingyi and Lonely. Su Xiaran knew that things would not be simple.

What secrets are hidden in this town? Are all women as young as Xia Qingyi and Gu who disappeared mysteriously? As long as he thought of this, Su Xiaran had some difficulty sleeping.

After tossing and turning for a long time, I slowly fell asleep. It wasn't until the next day that a few people got up early. Go downstairs. At this time, some of the guests in this inn had also walked down.

It was different from the Crescent Town that Su Xiaran and they saw last night. Now in Crescent Town during the day, people have begun to appear on the road. It doesn't look any different from other markets.

Why is it that after sunset, there is no one to be seen? Su Xiaran and the three of them casually found a table and sat down. And the other people next to him looked at Xia Qingyi and Gu strangely with the same eyes as Xiao Er last night.

Su Xiaran knew what they meant by such eyes. It is estimated that it is very strange why there are young women like Xia Qingyi and Gu in Crescent Town.

Early this morning, after Su Xiaran and the others got up, they also noticed that most of the people who appeared in the market in Crescent Town were men, and they rarely saw women. I haven't seen a young woman like Xia Qingyi and Lonely.

Hearing a few people next to him discussing them, one of them said, "Look at the three people at that table, they are from other places, dare to sit there so blatantly, aren't they afraid of being targeted by ghosts?" ”

Another person said: "But isn't it, it is estimated that they are out of town who don't know about Crescent Town, before a woman was missing in January, but in recent times, a woman has disappeared in almost a week, as long as the missing woman has not come back alive, they are really bold." ”

Su Xiaran heard their words clearly on the side. Let Xia Qingyi and Lone Xian sit there, and he walked to the adjacent table to inquire about the news.

Su Xiaran smiled and said, "A few brothers, can you ask what happened to Crescent Town recently, why haven't I seen a woman like my sister?" ”

Several people saw Su Xiaran coming over to ask, looked around, and then said cautiously: "This little brother, you better let your two sisters leave quickly, this Crescent Town is not peaceful, now there are fewer and fewer women in our town, and now women don't dare to go out, it is estimated that there are ghosts coming to our Crescent Town." ”

Su Xiaran thought for a while, changed into a polite look, and said, "Thank you brother Tai for reminding me, I will convey it to my sister and ask them to be careful." With that, Su Xiaran returned to his original position.

For Su Xiaran, she naturally didn't believe in the mysterious ghosts, even if there were ghosts, they must be doing something. I just don't have a clue at all. It seems that it will be necessary to observe for a day before making a decision.

Su Xiaran opened his mouth to remind and said: "Light clothes, Lonely, you should be careful these days, and remember to send signal smoke whenever there is a situation" This signal smoke is unique to Xuanyun Sect, and every disciple who goes out on a mission will get this.

It is convenient for companions who go with them to find their own things. After Xia Qingyi and Gu Ying got down, they continued to eat the breakfast in front of them. Su Xiaran didn't eat much. Always be aware of your surroundings.

At this time, a group of people suddenly appeared outside, gathered in twos and threes and said: "Have you heard, the body of the daughter of the Li family who disappeared two days ago was found by the river this morning, my God, sure enough, the missing woman did not come back alive." ”

Su Xiaran, who heard the news, quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and stepped forward, Su Xiaran asked the person who spread the news, "Excuse me, can you ask how the Li family who had an accident left?" ”
