When night fell, the whole world seemed to be completely covered by a black curtain, and when I looked around, I could only see the ruin and desolation around it by the faint moonlight.

Weeds spread everywhere and everywhere, on collapsed houses, by wells, everywhere they could.

The night wind blew, and the bitter chill swept through the weeds, sweeping without hindrance, driving the heavy clouds, covering the moonlight tightly, and plunging the eyes into darkness again.

A wheezing figure, staggering through the weeds, stepping on the weeds without making a sound.

The cyan color of the garment complemented the weeds in the night, and the wind blew the skirt and fluttered through the weeds, and the slight sound was completely muffled by the increasingly violent wheezing.

"Ahh

Rong was careless and threw herself forward to the ground, and the huge pain in her knees made her scream in an instant.

She slowly propped up her arms and tried to stand up, but the pain in her knees made her tremble uncontrollably, and cold sweat instantly burst out.

Rong gently and slowly stretched out his hand, and from that place, he felt a somewhat angular stone, and the blood stains on the stone were very obvious. The fall just now fell directly onto the sharp stone, and my knee was afraid that it had been cut by the stone at this time.

"No, I can't stop."

Rong gritted her teeth lightly, holding the blood-stained stone in one hand, and fumbled to stand up, when she touched a wooden plank. I don't know if the plank was dropped from the building or if someone took it out, but it fell on the side of the road anyway.

There were some gaps in the plank, and when Rong grasped it gently, blood was immediately drawn out of her delicate palm, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing, slowly stood up with the help of the power of the plank, and then used the plank as a crutch and walked forward with all her might.

In the days she was tied up, she had only drunk porridge, and her physical strength was already poor, so she stumbled when she ran out, but she could barely walk a distance. Now that my knee is injured and my brain is a little hot, my pace gradually slows down as I walk forward in a daze.

But the belief in her heart has always supported her, and she must escape!

.

Lu Chengyan was a little flustered, the beads of sweat on his forehead kept falling, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water, and his wheezing sound became more and more rapid, as if someone had choked his neck, and then opened his eyes suddenly in an instant.

"Whew-"

Lu Chengyan let out a heavy breath, and after relieving for a while, he changed the clothes on his body, and then pushed the door and walked out.

The night was dark, and the moon was blocked by heavy clouds, and there was no light in sight.

Lights have been lit everywhere in the Lu Mansion, but the dim light looks a little desolate in this night, and the smile swaying in the wind can't help but make people feel sentimental.

Lu Chengyan's eyes condensed slightly, and after packing up his things, he immediately went to the city gate to meet at the agreed time.

In winter, it's cold and dark, so every house is closed, and the streets are quiet. However, the city gate was very lively, the government officials were fast, and the people of the military department were all holding torches and standing together in a solemn line.

Lu Yuanshan served as the commander and was responsible for all the logistics here.

And Lu Chengyan, Yin Sheng and Fang Liang, the three of them took the lead and took advantage of the darkness to enter Mazi Village, trying to find a way to rescue Rong Qing first.

After Lu Yuanshan confirmed the rescue plan, he immediately waved his hand, and everyone immediately turned over and ran out of the city gate.

The wind whined, and the flames began to swing violently with the wind, as if they were about to be extinguished in the next moment, but they burned firmly, as if they had not been affected in the slightest.

Lu Chengyan didn't notice this, and even the cold wind cut on his face like a thin cut, which didn't make him frown, he just opened his eyes wide, looked ahead, ran with the horse's belly in his hand, and quickly ran to the front.

Yin Sheng had to wear a mask, so his face felt better, otherwise the wind would be howling and he wouldn't be able to hold it at all.

Fang Liang simply covered his head, otherwise he would take advantage of this cold wind to ride a horse, and it was estimated that he would get a head wind.

The three of them did not speak all the way, and soon broke away from the main group and disappeared without a trace.

Lu Yuanshan looked at the distant back, then looked at the others, and said in a deep voice: "Let's stay outside Mazi Village, don't venture in, unless you see a distress signal, everyone must listen to my command." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Finally, after the three of them galloped all the way to the place, they drove their horses away, and then drew their daggers and walked to the entrance of the village.

Next to the village is a stone monument, which has been eroded by time and has lost its traces, and one can only guess from the remnants that this is the name of the village. The gate of the village seems to have been forced through, and the dilapidated appearance makes people imagine the tragic situation at that time.

Even, standing here vaguely and looking out, through the light of the torches, you can even see the vague and blackened shadows inside.

Yin Sheng couldn't help but sigh, this good village was destroyed by thieves like this.

Lu Chengyan didn't wait, but stepped directly on the dilapidated door, and after making a clear squeak, he strode inside.

Yin Sheng and Fang Liang immediately followed.

Weeds have spread everywhere, and there is no way into the village as far as the eye can see.

Yin Sheng looked for it next to him, and then turned over a wooden stick, he poked it forward with the stick, and after finding the way, he whispered, "Follow me." With that, he explored the path ahead and walked inside, and as he became familiar with the terrain, his speed slowly increased.

The wind kept whistling, and it felt like it was getting stronger and stronger, and the flames were pulled to the side as if they were being dragged to the top, and then the next moment, they suddenly began to shrink, and they looked like they were about to be extinguished.

Seeing this, Lu Chengyan immediately blocked it with his hand, which saved the flames.

"This ghost weather ......" Yin Sheng frowned and scolded in a low voice, and then the stick in his hand suddenly fell.

Yin Sheng was startled, and immediately approached with torches, only to find that they had walked to the edge of a farmland.

The farmland has been abandoned for I don't know how long, but it seems that because of the heavy rain during that time, it was directly hoarded here into a small lake, and if you accidentally step on it, you are afraid that you will be frozen to death before you can find anyone.

Yin Sheng hurriedly pulled out his long stick and began to look around, Lu Chengyan and Fang Liang immediately approached with torches.

After Yin Sheng found another path, he continued to walk forward, and along the way, he cleaned up all the weeds by the way, otherwise the people behind would have to explore like this, and it would be too much time.

At this moment, there was a sound of rustling, and the three of them stopped at the same time, extinguished their torches, and looked forward vigilantly.
