Fate, like a naughty old man, made a little joke with Wei Yilin and Bai Yunlian. But this joke, for the two, I don't know whether it is unfortunate or lucky.

It turned out that under the concrete bridge, there was a small boat tied to the river sanitation, which was two or three meters long and more than one meter wide, so it was completely covered by the shadow of the bridge. Bai Yunlian also found the boat at the moment when she fell into the river. She was immediately overjoyed - ants are still greedy for life, let alone people? Bai Yunlian immediately picked up Xiao Xiuping, who was slowly sinking, from her back, and swam towards the boat little by little.

At this point of sluggishness, Xiao Xiuping is really similar to Xiao Zhenzhen - it wasn't until Bai Yunlian knocked his little head hard that he realized that he was grabbing the side of the boat with his own hand. And after being entrusted to the boat, I didn't know how to help Bai Yunlian get something, but just sat there stunned, thinking about why the water of Lethe River was so gentle? Or why is this Nai Ho bridge so short?

Bai Yunlian picked all the things that could be taken off her body with white eyes, even so, she was almost "trapped" in the river by the carrying gear on her back that was as heavy as a stone, and when she finally climbed into the boat from the stern, her hands were trembling, and the corners of her forehead were full of salty droplets. And Zhou Xiuping, this guy, is still so cold that his lips are purple - they are all idle!

The long river is like a narrow pipe, sending the cold wind from the Silver Dragon Snow Mountain into the city continuously, and the place where the two of them stay is just the vent! After a while, the water droplets on his body became sharp blades, "scraping" the delicate skin of the two of them one by one, with the intention of skinning and digging up their flesh.

"Put it on." Bai Yunlian took off the raincoat on her body, wiped the water droplets on the inner lining, and then gently draped it on Xiao Xiuping's body, This raincoat can still block the wind.

But what Bai Yunlian never expected was that as soon as she let go, Xiao Xiuping took off the raincoat, clumsily wrapped his two hands around her neck, and "laid" the raincoat on her shoulders, while he shrunk into a ball, leaned on Bai Yunlian's side, and then quietly looked at Bai Yunlian's surprised eyes and smiled, as if he was proud of his own approach.

…… Hey, hey! Can you ask my opinion first? It wasn't until Xiao Xiuping curled up that Bai Yunlian broke free from the wooden man's "curse" and protested dissatisfiedly in her heart. After all, this little Xiuping is just "like" Zhenzhen, not "is" Zhenzhen!

But now is not the time to pursue these things, because Bai Yunlian, who was idle, immediately found that she and Xiao Xiuping were in a very dangerous situation - the drone overhead was still roaring, and the infected people attracted by it were still shouting excitedly, like a group of crazy fans, shouting for their favorite team. And in the shadows, the person who controls the drone must still be eyeing it! As long as she shows a little trace, the consequences are ...... Bai Yunlian was timid and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Hungry?" Bai Yunlian conjured a pack of biscuits out of nowhere, and gently approached Xiao Xiuping's nose, Xiao Xiuping sniffed, and his little eyes suddenly turned into small light bulbs, and he reached out to take them, Bai Yunlian's hand shrank, and Xiao Xiuping fell into the air. Xiao Xiuping pursed his lips and "grabbed" with Bai Yunlian. When he "succeeded" in grabbing it, he triumphantly hugged the biscuit, gobbled it up, and while eating, two small dimples were exposed. Sure enough, he is still a child, and with a little joy, he can throw all the troubles he has just experienced out of the clouds.

The noise on the bridge seemed to have disappeared, except for the constant "whirring" in the ears, Qizi Town seemed to fall into endless silence again. Bai Yunlian looked at the dark green river and sighed, it was time for them to leave. But where to go? Heliport in Echoing Sands? This choice is good, but she only knows that Mingsha Town is in the northwest, and this river, although it flows from east to west, but the river has been cut off by the blocking cable, and it is impossible to go west. Alas, it's really sad.

Xiao Xiuping sneezed, although the sound was very small, it still startled Bai Yunlian: It can't be a cold, right? This is not good news, although the common cold is almost not even a disease in modern times, but now it is not as good as it was in the past, and any minor illness can kill people due to lack of medical treatment. To some extent, it can even be said that society is going backwards.

"Flat, hmm...... Is there a place to sell clothes around here? Bai Yunlian asked tentatively, of course, this is not really all Xiao Xiuping, but she also wants to change into dry clothes.

Xiao Xiuping nodded, made an unprecedented "um", and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the river. Bai Yunlian looked in the direction of his finger, there was a two-story building, in front of the building, there was an asphalt road, and there seemed to be some cars crowded in the middle of the road. Between the cars, there seemed to be a few shadowy black shadows.

Anyway, let's change our clothes first, find a map, make do here tonight, and go back tomorrow. Bai Yunlian gritted her teeth, untied the rope that tied the boat, and with a light stroke, the boat floated away from the river. The group is estimated to have left, and the infected on Riverside Road have gradually dispersed, leaving only a few scattered, looking around aimlessly, wondering if they are racking their brains to think about why they are here.

"Suck" Xiao Xiuping sniffed, Bai Yunlian looked down, it was not cold, but the corners of his eyes were red again. Also, among these infected people, there may be his teacher, his classmates, his relatives, his neighbors, and maybe even his father.

When will this damned plague pass? Bai Yunlian looked at the flowing water under her feet, as if she was asking.

The water came back to the murmur, as if to say: I don't know.

After drifting along the river for a while, the boat finally came to shore in a place with steps, the bottom of which were covered with moss, and the middle ones were covered with mud and dust, and the upper ones were filled with stones that had fallen from the embankment, and it could be seen that no one had walked on these steps for a long time. Although she had reminded herself to be careful, Bai Yunlian was still careless and slipped a little, and at this moment, her braincase also "buzzed", as if it had been stimulated.

In this short blank, there seems to be a strong hand that catches her from behind, this arm, very warm, like a mother's embrace, but it is more indescribably sweet than her mother's embrace. This scene seems familiar, isn't it...... The world seemed to be changing, with two-story buildings rising a little higher out of thin air, and a toll booth rising up the narrow riverside road. The Yudai River behind him seems to be narrower, and the river is a little darker.

In a daze, Bai Yunlian looked back, "Huh? "It turned out that it was none other than Wei Yilin who was holding her! She was startled, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, but her palm seemed to be cursed, and as soon as she touched Wei Yilin, the latter's body suddenly deformed, and the skin cracked little by little, like a smashed egg shell, shattered to the ground, and the "egg yolk" turned out to be a stone pillar! It turned out that it was all just an illusion. The Xiyi County and Baxi River in front of me have also been restored to their original state little by little.

Suddenly, something held the wrist of Bai Yunlian's right hand, Bai Yunlian looked down, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, it turned out that Xiao Xiuping "clamped" his wrist, and Xiao Xiuping's right hand was holding small branches vigorously.

Bai Yunlian smiled bitterly and shook her head: I really hope that the person who pulled my hand could be you, Yilin. The thought of this flushed her face again. But when she saw Xiao Xiuping, the blush disappeared, and was replaced by distress: Alas, I'm still a girl who needs someone to protect, how can I take care of him?

Eight years ago, when she was still looking forward to the colorful life of college, she suddenly received the news of her father's death and had to start taking on the burden of life early; Now, she has always been regarded as the pearl of the palm by Wei Yilin and others, but she has to face the bleakness of the world, and she has an extra burden on her shoulders.

"Flat." Bai Yunlian squatted down and gently put her left hand on Zhou Xiuping's right neck, "If you find a crazy person, don't scream, just pull my raincoat, understand?" ”

This seemed to be too deep, Xiao Xiuping was stunned for a long time, and he didn't seem to react. Bai Yunlian seemed to be in a hurry, frowned, and asked anxiously, Xiao Xiuping seemed to be startled, and hurriedly said "um". Bai Yunlian nodded, dismantled the magazine, counted it, and there was still a third of the magazine left, which was not enough for escape, but it was more than enough for suicide.

"Don't scream, if you do, you won't be able to run away." Bai Yunlian lightly nodded Xiao Xiuping's braincase, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Xiuping subconsciously grabbed the hem of his raincoat, trying to maintain the same pace as Bai Yunlian, I don't know if he was afraid that if he was one step behind, he would be caught by those crazy people, or if he wanted to "protect" Bai Yunlian.

After the rain, the street exudes a slightly cool wetness, which invades people's muscles and stimulates people's nerves through soaked clothes and open nostrils, which makes people shiver at the same time, but also reminds people to stay awake, focused, and not distracted. Perhaps, it was thanks to its help that the two were able to pass Riverside Road without any problems.

In front of the riverside road, there is the two-storey shop, this commercial area has been stretching for nearly two kilometers, and most of the products sold on it are the specialties of the Lijiang River and the artifacts of jade, jade, calligraphy and painting that dominate tourists. It seems that there is still a long way to go to the clothing and pants store that Xiao Xiuping said. Although Lijiang has not been visited by tourists for three months, it is an old city where indigenous people gather, and the population base is also quite large. After a cursory count, I saw five or six infected people with strange shapes.

Lijiang, have you seen enough killing?
