Looking at the people around me again, they had already covered their lips one by one, and their eyes were staring at the secret door tightly, for fear that the thing would rush in.

At first it was the sound of footsteps, but after a while the footsteps became messy, and the trembling sound became more and more, and everyone stood still and did not dare to move, as if they would be discovered by the thing if they moved.

After a long while, the trembling voice was gone, and the shopkeeper slowly moved to our side.

The dozen or so people looked at us even more unkindly: "Who are you who came here to make trouble?" If you want to die, don't pull us along! ”

"What are you talking about? It's really a dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth! ”

I don't know who said it, but my sister waved her hand angrily when she heard it.

At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed my sister and let us sit inside: "This girl is not strange, that thing is really too powerful, otherwise we wouldn't hide here as a shrunken turtle." ”

"Now you can tell us why, right?"

Seeing that my sister was so anxious, the shopkeeper nodded: "I didn't want to come out when you knocked on the door just now, but I thought it was the monster coming." ”

"I didn't expect this monster to be quite polite, knowing that there was a knock on the door."

My sister couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, but some of the people sitting inside were already sighing.

A little girl with a double bun approached us, tilted her head, stretched out her white little finger, and hissed on her lips: "Sister, you don't know how terrible that monster is!" ”

A white and tender little girl suddenly appeared, my sister looked very fond of it, hugged her, put her in her arms, pinched her round little face, and smiled: "How terrible is it?" Tell my sister about it! ”

The little girl's eyebrows drooped, her lips pursed downward, she stared at her hand and said, "Xiao, Xiaoxue's mother...... Mother she has ......"

As he spoke, his little hand was already on his eyes, and he cried with a whimper, and his sister couldn't coax it.

I didn't expect this monster to be so powerful, a man came from the side and took the little girl out of her sister's arms, the little girl immediately hugged the man, and shouted: "Daddy Xiaoxue really misses her mother......"

The man's big hand couldn't stop touching Xiaoxue's head: "As long as Xiaoxue doesn't cry, your mother will come back in a few days." ”

"Daddy actually lied to people, Xiaoxue has been obedient for several days, but she still hasn't seen her mother come back, and her mother will definitely not be able to come back!"

Xiaoxue couldn't stop crying when she said this, and as soon as Xiaoxue cried like this, the five big and three rough men also cried with her, and hugged Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue doesn't cry, don't you still have a father?" If you cry again, Daddy will be sad. ”

When the man said this, Xiaoxue immediately stopped crying, wiped it on the man's eyes with her little hand, and helped him wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, in an adult's tone: "Xiaoxue doesn't cry, and Daddy doesn't cry!" ”

"Xiaoxue is a poor girl, and only his father and daughter are left in a dozen or so families......"

The shopkeeper sighed and frowned: "If you say pitiful, the people on this side are even more pitiful, many people have died, and no one has escaped, which of us is not a dead family...... We all watched our relatives die in front of us, and we ran out desperately, but fortunately, I have a secret room here, and I can help them, otherwise we will have to leave our lives here. ”

No wonder we didn't see a few people here, and when we remembered our attitude, we were busy apologizing to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't blame us: "After all, you don't know about our town, just heard a knock on the door, I thought it was the monster coming again, and hurriedly asked them to retreat to this secret room, but then I heard your voice, I knew that it was a person, so I hurriedly opened the door, otherwise I would have yelled at you like this, it must have attracted those monsters, and then they would have stabbed you first, so I hurriedly brought you in." ”

"But no, if there is not something, can we leave the business alone? A few of them, the shopkeeper of our family, but this well-known good man can't bear to let you be taken captive by monsters. ”

The young man was full of grievances, and he blamed us for saying too much just now, which made us feel very guilty at this time.

"It's okay, it's okay, in this situation, any silver is something outside the body, it's important to save your life, after these days, we found that those monsters, from morning to noon, generally don't come out, only in the afternoon will come to find if there is a living person, why don't you come with us."

The shopkeeper was kind-hearted, and Uncle Xu shook his head and asked, "Then are there other living people in this city?" ”

"There should be some, and now in this situation, we can't guarantee how far we can run first, and we can't take care of others."

Uncle Xu nodded: "It's better to be careful, let's go together tomorrow." ”

"Let's just leave, we should still go to see the monsters of knowledge, if we can fight it, wouldn't it be a good thing to eliminate harm for the people." My sister pulled Uncle Xu's shirt on the side and said.

"We'll talk about this later, let's go out first." Uncle Xu seems to have his own plans.

Hide in this secret room, because it is past noon at this time, and listen to the shopkeeper, those monsters may come at any time, so it is better to be careful.

I don't know if it's day and night when I hide in the secret room, but fortunately, everyone is together, not worrying, but we can keep each other warm.

I don't know how long later, the shopkeeper took out some rice noodles from the inside, everyone boiled gruel in this secret room, look at the rice bag is already the last point, no wonder the shopkeeper said to take everyone away, now there are monsters outside, they naturally dare not act rashly, but there is no food inside, can only risk leaving this place.

But they are all mortal beings who don't know mana, and we have come here for a while, but they can only walk ten miles and eight miles a day when they walk with their feet, but they can only walk for half a day, and they don't know if they can get out of the city.

At this time, the crowd was already sighing.

Sleepiness hit, I guess it was already night, but none of them slept, one by one frowned, I don't know how long later, a slight snoring slowly came from the secret room.

"Wake up."

The door of the secret room had been opened, and the shopkeeper pushed me, telling us to get up as soon as possible, and hurry up in the morning, for this morning would not be enough time to get out of the city, and then we would have to find some rooms nearby to hide.

Now that they have reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, breakfast is naturally gone, and everyone can only drink a stomach full of water and leave the inn.

By this time there were already a few people on the streets, groups of three, or groups like us, who were leaving the small town.

These people are all in a hurry, and it seems that the people we met on the street yesterday just wanted to get out of here.

Everyone fled for their lives as soon as possible, and no one cared to speak, and the steps under their feet were extremely fast.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a baby's cry in my ears, and I turned my head to see that the white and chubby doll was lying in a bamboo basket.

The doll was lying here, and when those monsters came, they would take it away, and I just couldn't bear it, so I stepped forward and held him in my arms.

As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, his face changed greatly, and he immediately snatched the doll from my arms, threw it to the ground, and pulled me with the other hand: "Hurry up, don't be nosy!" ”

My hand was clutched by him, and I broke free from his hand: "What are you doing, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't want to save even a doll today, this is just a convenient thing." ”

I was about to turn around, but Uncle Xu held me down on the shoulder, and he kept pulling me forward and walked quickly: "Qiu'er, you stupid girl, thanks to this shopkeeper, otherwise maybe you will cause something again." ”

Their words were cloudy and foggy, and I was at a loss.

"How can there be dolls on this street? Think about it, if there is a family whose children are lost, how can they stay here? Didn't you already be caught by that monster! ”

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, it just so happens that his parents are heartless, it's not like they're going to run away, so they left the child behind......"

I'm really too unenlightened, Uncle Xu's voice was a little annoyed: "Silly Qiu'er, think about it, if that doll is really a child, just the shopkeeper threw him out, why didn't he cry?" ”

Hearing this, I suddenly realized, but I didn't understand what the doll was, could it be that these monsters had already discovered us?

I was about to say to Uncle Xu, but Uncle Xu already knew what I was going to say, so he whispered to me: "Qiu'er, don't make a noise about this matter first, otherwise it will easily cause them to panic, that monster is in the dark, we are in the light, we can only take one step at a time, fortunately, with you, if I have anything, I can also protect them." ”

But if there is no bottom in my heart to protect me, I can't be of any use, relying on this feather coat, I can dodge for a while, but it is just self-preservation, although my sister and Uncle Xu have mana, it is not clear what the monster is, and I don't know if it is his opponent.

But now I can only take one step at a time, and staying here is a death.

Walking in the market, there were more and more people behind us, and from time to time there were three or two people who saw that we were outnumbered, so they joined in, and walked towards the city pass together.

I have something on my mind, and I have been pondering Uncle Xu's words and the shopkeeper's words all the way, and I am a little confused, why didn't those monsters come in the morning? I've seen a lot of demons and monsters over the years, I haven't heard of it, arresting people so regularly, thinking of what Uncle Xu said just now, and that doll, guess what kind of conspiracy is there?

A cacophony of sounds disrupted my thoughts.

"Stop, we should find a place to rest."

When I looked up, it was almost noon, and it was time to hide.

Four or five split into groups and look for a place to hide nearby.
