Chapter 42: Growing Brighter 6
In the early morning, the sun shines on the top of the mountain, and the verdant mountains stand majestically, and at the foot of the mountain there is a hidden flat land, which is closely guarded by soldiers on all sides
The camp tent was full of corpses, and Sima You sniffed and said, "This fragrance is getting heavier and heavier."
Fa Cao said: "Yes, there are more and more flying insects around it!" I don't know if I can make it until tonight."
Sima shook his head and said, "You go back and report to your lord first!" It's pretty much arranged here! ”
In Xilin City, all the shops on the bustling streets are closed, and none of them are open to welcome customers
A beggar sneaked into the kitchen of a restaurant, only to see the body of the shopkeeper lying on his back to the ground, his face swollen, and snow-white insects crawling on it, retching twice, shouting: "Dead man~Dead man~"
The soldiers patrolling the street immediately rushed in, scattered around to search here, and after a while, a soldier rushed in: "Head ~ There are two people inside, exactly the same death"
The leader of the team: "Let's go, go and see"
Several merchants were lying on the couch, their faces were unbelievable, the insects had crawled on their clothes, and the soldiers walked in quickly, and when they saw the scene in the house, they gasped: "Go back immediately and tell your lordship"
Li Zhilian and Li Jianqing were drinking tea in the main hall, and Zhang Hui rushed in and said, "My lord~ something is wrong!" Dead people on the streets! ”
Li Jian immediately stood up and replied, "The teacher has gone to the Blue Flag Barracks!" ”
Zhang Hui said nervously: "What can I do then?" Did you say when you would be back? ”
Li Jianqing said: "The teacher didn't say, can you take us to see first!" ”
Before Zhang Hui could reply, a soldier hurried back and forth: "My lord, the owner and his men of the Hongyun Inn in Chengbei Street are dead in the room, their bodies rotting and crawling with white insects."
Li Zhi stood up pitifully and glanced at Li Jianqing: "Take us to have a look."
The day is high, and he hides in the dark clouds, and the whole Xilin City falls into a depressing and dull atmosphere, Li Jianqing took Li Zhilian to gallop on the street on a fast horse, and came to the Hongyun Inn in the north street of the city, the door of a guest room was wide open, and the bodies of the two guys were lying on the edge of the wardrobe, their whole bodies were red and purple rotting, and snow-white insects were wriggling in the carrion
Several soldiers kept retching on the side, Li Zhilian only felt a chill down her spine, she looked at Li Jianqing in a daze: "We are all wrong!" It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in October, the weather is cold at night, those poisonous insects are not controlled at all, and those who just go out of the city today are in danger! Why didn't I think of it earlier? How could those people let us let the people out of the city! ”
Li Jianqing looked at her and replied, "The teacher has already ordered the closure of the city last night!" Those who stay here now won't go out! ”
Li Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "It's still the teacher who thinks thoughtfully!" Otherwise, my sin will be great! ”
After Zhang Hui vomited, he wiped his mouth and said, "See Qing Gongzi~ What should I do with this corpse?" ”
Li Jianqing and Li Zhilian glanced at each other: "Burn it on the spot!" ”
Zhang Hui replied: "Yes~"
Outside the door of the Hongyun Inn, Li Jianqing got on the horse, turned the horse's head to look at Li Zhilian, stretched out his hand, the horse couldn't wait, neighed, and jumped forward
Li Zhilian looked at the empty streets, and the soldiers were checking from house to house, reaching out to take Li Jianqing's hand
Feeling the gentle force of his hands around his waist, Li Zhilian's body stiffened slightly, but then he sat up straight, she was too busy when she came, she didn't care about these details, and now she feels a little embarrassed, after all, he should be Li Zhilian's cousin!
From Xilin City to the Blue Flag Barracks, all the way was full of wilderness and lush forests, extremely empty, the two of them were silent all the way, the only sound was the hooves of horses, and the sound of the wind rubbing against the blades of grass
The bump of the horse made Li Jianqing, who was sitting in the back, worried that Li Zhilian in the full circle would fall, so he subconsciously hugged Li Zhilian in front of him, and felt that this should not be, so he quickly loosened a little more
Li Zhilian looked silently all the way ahead, and in a trance she seemed to hear a low flute, which was not the crispness of the bamboo flute, but more like the bright and simple bone flute, with a distant and mysterious atmosphere, her hand unconsciously covered the back of Li Jianqing's hand, and said in a low voice: "The sound of the flute? ”
Li Jianqing felt that her palm was slightly cold, covering the back of his hand, and immediately stopped the fast horse, and the familiar sound of the flute immediately came from his ears, which was exactly the sound of the flute he and Su Yun heard near Nianse Village, and he whispered: "He's here!" ”
Li Zhilian probed to look around, and then said, "Let's get off the horse~"
Li Jianqing stared at Li Zhilian's head spinning around: "There is no place to hide here, it is very dangerous"
Li Zhilian pointed sideways to the sachet on Li Jianqing's waist and said, "It's okay to have it."
The sky was getting darker and darker, Li Jianqing followed Li Zhilian through this desolate jungle, the sound of the flute was getting closer and closer, and Li Zhilian subconsciously shouted: "Be careful!" ”
Her voice was still in her throat, Li Jianqing had already heard the sound of the breaking wind, and she bowed down according to Li Zhilian, and there was a figure standing on the treetop on the right not far away, holding a piccolo
"Let's go!" Li Jianqing called her in a low voice.
Li Zhilian shook his head and pointed to the sachet on Li Jianqing's waist: "Leave the sachet to me, you go and tell the teacher"
Li Jianqing's strength in holding her shoulder increased, and he stared into the distance and said, "Let's go together~"
Li Zhilian looked at the people in the treetops in the distance, and then looked at Li Jianqing and shook his head firmly: "Believe me~"
