Chapter 101: Ruins
"Go straight ahead and head southeast." Seeing that Jiuyou stopped, Beilin looked around blankly, and pointed out the way to Jiuyou.
The little sister-in-law on the side became a little anxious, and when I asked, I realized that she had only come to Xiangcheng with her parents when she was a child.
Now in a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, Xiangcheng has changed, and she can't remember where her uncle lives, only that it is "Sun Mansion", but her uncle Sun Yong is very famous in Xiangcheng, and many people should know him.
It's just that nowadays, there is no one to ask.
"Lord Shenjun, in front of you, the whole piece is burned black." After Jiuyou drove the carriage for half an hour, he suddenly opened his mouth and said to Beilin.
I squinted and looked ahead, and sure enough, the intersection in front of me was charred black, as if there was a row of houses burned to the ground.
"Ruyi Inn? Ah, that's my uncle's house. The little sister-in-law glanced at the plaque of an inn opposite the ruins, and suddenly jumped out of the car with Erya in her arms.
She staggered to the second place and ran towards the ruins.
We also got out of the car one after another, and I asked Ming Beilin in a low voice: "Is this a phoenix fire?" ”
There was no response, so it should have been a tacit.
Presumably, after the phoenix was caught in the shrine here, it fought back and escaped, right?
"Uncle, uncle!" The little sister-in-law hugged Erya and shouted loudly.
This is the only hope for their mother and daughter, but now that it is disillusioned, what will their mother and daughter do in the future?
"Who?" Jiuyou was standing on the side of the carriage, and he didn't know what movement he heard, so he immediately turned around and shouted.
Immediately afterwards, we all turned around, but saw two men bowing down, sneakily approaching us, with short knives in their hands.
Seeing that they were discovered by Jiuyou, they didn't have half a bit of fear, and rushed forward directly.
It's just that the result is self-evident, they are not Jiuyou's opponents at all, and they were directly thrown to the ground.
"Eh, brother, spare your life, the younger brother just came out to find a way out, and please be merciful." The two men knelt at the feet of Jiuyou, begging for mercy again and again.
"What happened to this Xiangcheng? Why is there no one to be seen? Jiuyou asked, stomping on one of the men's backs.
"Eh, you, you're an outsider, aren't you? You don't know, just seven days ago, there was a big demon here, burned the sacrificial temple, and the mansion of the priest, and injured a group of people who sacrificed the spirit and fled, the county magistrate of Xiangcheng was worried that the monster would come back to make trouble, so frightened that he fled for his life overnight, and the bandits in the mountains knew that the people were guarding here, so they ransacked the entire Xiangcheng, and now Xiangcheng is walking, running, and leaving behind some old and weak women and children. "Two men, you and I have made things clear.
"What about my uncle? My uncle's house was burned, but what about the others? Isn't it, already? The little sister-in-law rushed over and asked with a sad face.
"I heard that the priest was burned alive, but the other relatives in his family were not injured in the slightest, and now, they have all moved away." A man said, tilting his head.
"Where did you move?" I asked.
The two men shook their heads together, saying that they didn't know, they only knew that the young lady of the family was married to the Taishou of Zizhou, and the family must have gone to the Taishou.
"Zizhou?" After the little sister-in-law heard this, her eyes were very blank, she had never heard of Zizhou at all.
"Zizhou, will we pass by?" I looked at the North Moon.
This is a euphemistic inquiry, can we continue to take the little aunt on the road, if not by the way, then we can give the little aunt and daughter some entanglement, and then hire a carriage for them, let them go to Zizhou by themselves.
