Hong Ling waited alone in the deserted courtyard for a long time, since Chen Jinye and Bai Ju left the palace, the screaming voice gradually weakened, and then there was not even a little sound from the side, she couldn't hold back the uneasiness in her heart, and kept thinking about the jade pendant that Xiao Qingfei gave herself. Although Hongling didn't know where the jade pendant she found in front of the Wangcheng Casino was and where it came from, Xiaoqing decided that it was a good thing to protect her family and body, and said that it had the effect of a talisman to protect her safety.

Originally, Hongling almost forgot the existence of this jade pendant, but now she was really anxious, so she tossed it out and pinched it in her hand, in line with the truth that she would rather believe it than not, she kept chanting words and praying.

It's been almost an hour, Hong Ling tossed and turned in the small courtyard the size of a palm, figuring out that Yu Pei's hand was a little red because of the force, Hong Ling frowned and stared at the crescent moon on the wall, "If there is really a spirit, let them come back quickly."

As soon as the words fell, Hong Ling saw Chen Jinye's lost figure on the wall, he returned to the courtyard through the dark night sky, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he met Hong Ling's concerned eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Jinye looked at Hongling in front of him with scarlet eyes, he didn't know what he was going to say, was it okay? But the bones of the people who died because of him outside have not yet dispersed the temperature, is there anything wrong? The victims were still weeping in the chaotic alleys, but they were in this feudal palace, what kind of face did they have to complain.

Chen Jinye's current appearance, where does it seem to be fine, Hong Ling bit her lower lip slightly, lowered her eyelids and sighed slightly, and when she raised her eyes again, she slowly helped Chen Jinye's hand, "Go in and drink a bowl of tea."

Hong Ling led Chen Jinye into the hall, and the light in the hall instantly fell on Chen Jinye's body, and Hong Ling saw the bloodstained sword in his other hand, Hong Ling's body stiffened and was slightly stunned, her eyes flashed with a little fear, and slowly helped Chen Jinye to the table and sat down, and she squatted opposite him cautiously.

Chen Jinye knew how Liu Ling'er, who was the lord of Tianpu County, would not be afraid of the blood stains on his body, but the strings in his heart had to be tightened. After being silent for a long time, Chen Jinye slowly picked up the teacup on the table, but he didn't drink it, he just took it so firmly, and after a while, Chen Jinye slowly poured the tea in the cup on the ground in the direction of the door, and said sadly: "This cup, respect the deceased."

Hongling was shocked when she saw it, Chen Jinye, who was hoarse with red eyes and a hoarse voice, was a little too calm, and the corners of Hongling's mouth moved slightly.

"Where's Bai Ju?"

Chen Jinye straightened up slightly, "He is guarding the surviving people on the street."

Hongling breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Who did it?" ”。

The night was already very deep, the suppressed and nervous emotions could not be expressed, lamentations echoed in the night sky of Xicheng one after another, under the moonlight there was a small courtyard with lights hidden in the giant tree, and the dim candlelight reflected the men and women sitting in the house without saying a word, this was a very quiet time, but also a very bitter memory.

Hongling didn't wait for the answer to her question, and after a long time, the only thing that responded to her was Chen Jinye's dejected back.

What's wrong with him?

Hong Ling couldn't help yawning, slowly put away the messy teacups on the table, and slowly returned to her room with the candlelight, and hung the jade pendant she hated around her neck neatly, before slowly blowing out the candlelight and climbing into bed, she slept peacefully and woke up again......

She touched the dawn and got up from the bed early to wash, there was no one in the courtyard, but she was worried about one thing in her heart, she pinched the jade pendant on her neck, her heart was slightly certain, and then pushed open the small door of the courtyard and passed through the side door of the palace, and went to the main street.

Hongling didn't know that Xiao Si and the others had moved to other places, so she followed her memory and went to the alley next to the post station at the city gate.

In the faint morning light, Hong Ling couldn't help frowning, she couldn't help but stop when she smelled a fishy smell, she was a little apprehensive and a little uneasy, this street was too quiet......

Hong Ling approached the alley where Xiao Si usually stayed step by step, the closer she got to the stronger the smell, Hong Ling pursed her lips against the gray and white corner, and slowly turned her head over.

I saw more than a dozen corpses stacked in the already extremely narrow alley, men, women, old and young, each of them had a palm-sized hole in their necks, black and red blood was all over the alley, and the flies and insects that flew from the fishy smell buzzed between the corpses and the blood, and then looked closely, the mouths of individual corpses that were soaked in blood already seemed to have a little maggots in their mouths......

Hong Ling's stomach churned, and before the sound of gagging came out, a big hand covered her eyes.

Hong Ling took a few steps back along the big hand, and the owner of the hand straightened her up and let go, "What are you doing here?" ”。

"Y-Why are you so early?"

Hongling raised her head and looked at Chen Jinye with a weak heart, only to see that his face was gloomy and tired, so she couldn't help frowning and asked, "You didn't sleep yesterday?" ”。

Chen Jinye frowned and looked at Hong Ling undeniably, the smell of corpses near the alley was too strong, he pulled Hong Ling and walked a few steps deep into Xicheng, the fishy smell between his noses was not so strong before he turned around.

"You see, a lot of people died last night, and they need to rest in peace"

Hongling looked at Chen Jinye directly, she knew that Chen Jinye had not slept all night, and she was probably dealing with the corpses of these dead people.

"And so much more......"

Hongling couldn't help but sigh, and recalled the scene in her mind, she covered her mouth with a bleak face, and frowned uncomfortably.

"You go back, here are me and Bai Ju"

Hong Ling slowly straightened up her hunched body and looked at Chen Jinye, "You dispose of the corpse, I'll clean the alley."

Chen Jinye didn't refuse, he knew that even if he forced her to return to the house, she would be unable to let go of it, he bowed slightly, and then sent Hongling to the place where the victims of the disaster temporarily gathered in the depths of Xicheng.

Most of the people were still asleep, Hong Ling glanced around, there were originally more than a hundred or ten people, but there were only forty or fifty people left overnight, Xiao Si and Bai Ju saw Hong Ling's arrival, so they slowly greeted them.

Bai Ju was a little impatient, this kind of scene is a woman to do, I'm afraid it's not to come over, and then continue to cause trouble, then the prince and I have to take care of her, the more I think about it, the more dry Bai Ju's heart becomes, and his tone seems to burst into anger, "What are you doing!" ”。

Hong Ling squinted at Bai Ju, he had already turned a white face into a flower cat after following Chen Jinye, seeing such a Bai Ju, Hong Ling felt a little less afraid in her heart, "I'll help."

"How can you help!"

"Both"

Hong Ling's monophonic words made Bai Ju speechless for a while, seeing that Bai Ju's face was flushed, Chen Jinye waved his hand at him slightly, signaling Bai Ju to dispose of the corpse with him.

Bai Ju snorted coldly at Hong Ling, it seems that this woman is also a demon who can perform spells, and the prince has already been fascinated by her, so he let her act as a burden.

After Chen Jinye left with Bai Ju, Hongling stood in place, and after a moment of silence, she slowly lowered her head to meet Xiao Si's eyes, after yesterday's night's tragic baptism, Xiao Si's eyes were also gray and could not see the light, Hong Ling squatted down to face Xiao Si and asked, "Do you also think I'm a burden?" ”。

Xiao Si shook his head without hesitation, Hong Ling slowly put her hand on Xiao Si's shoulder, pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a bitter smile, "Thank you", after that, Hong Ling slowly stood up and walked towards the well in the distance.

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and the people in their sleep were gradually waking up, but Hongling was squatting in the distance, constantly rubbing the hem of her clothes with a sharp stone, Xiao Si leaned over suspiciously, "Red girl, what are you doing here?" ”。

Hong Ling gritted her teeth and pulled along the edge of the hem of her clothes that had been scratched a little by the stone, and with a hard pull, a piece of intact fabric arrived in Hong Ling's hand, "for everyone to wipe their faces."

As soon as she spoke, Hong Ling came over to everyone, everyone leaned against the root of the wall, Hong Ling was silent, only quietly soaked the handkerchief, wrung it out, and then wiped it one by one for the victims.

Some people will be slightly surprised, some people will dodge slightly, but most of them silently accepted Hong Ling's scrubbing, and after a while, everyone's faces were already renewed, Hong Ling was satisfied with the muddy water in the bucket, and then carried the bucket to the alley next to the city gate.

"Red Girl, where are you going?"

"Go to the alley and wash the blood"

Xiao Si frowned and followed behind Hong Ling, but he didn't take a few steps, Hong Ling suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Xiao Si fixedly, and after a moment of silence, Hong Ling said slowly: "You go back and take care of the others."

"Why?"

"It's so bloody, you're young..."

"No, I'm not small, I can!"

Xiao Si's determined appearance made Hong Ling couldn't help but be moved, she squatted down and hugged Xiao Si, and said slowly: "I'm afraid, you accompany me, okay?" ”。

Xiao Si's dim eyes lit slightly, her chin slowly met her chest, and she nodded solemnly towards Hong Ling, Hong Ling slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, this is probably her truest smile today, thinking about it, Hong Ling took Xiao Si and walked towards the alley firmly.

The remaining corpses in the alley have been transported away by Chen Jinye and Bai Ju, and the rest is just blood stains on the ground, Hongling couldn't hold back the feeling of vomiting, and Xiao Si dragged Hongling, "I'll go fetch water first."

"No, we're going to dig the dirt"

"Why?"

"Let the blood stick to the soil before it can be cleaned up"

Xiao Si nodded as if he didn't understand, and then took Hongling back with half a cart of soil, and the two of them evenly mixed the soil in the blood water, and after the smell on the ground was rolled into the soil, they were eradicated again, and finally, after a long shoveling of soil, the blood in the alley was slightly lighter.

Xiao Si pulled, Hong Ling pushed, and finally sent the blood and soil out of the city gate, and when they returned to the city, the two were already tired, and before they could talk more, Chen Jinye and Bai Ju drove the carriage back to Xicheng and stopped in front of everyone......
