Chapter 212: Rush to Qingquan Village
After sending Zhao Cheng off, I walked directly to my room. But as I walked to the door of my room, I suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at me. I could feel that those eyes had no ill will towards me.
Then I jerked around and looked into the distance, but it was so empty that I didn't see anything. However, I believe that my feelings cannot be wrong.
I walked slowly around the corner, and the lanterns around me went out as I walked past. There was an instant darkness around me, and then I felt a figure drift past me, and I felt a familiar scent from the person.
And that familiar fragrance is on Qing Yao's body. I'm so familiar with the scent that I can't be wrong.
But the man ran for a few moments towards an arch not far away, and did not give me time to stop her. I hurriedly chased in the direction that the man was running to, and kept calling Qing Yao's name in my heart.
Soon after, I followed the figure to a courtyard in the northwest corner of the Zhao family, and the man pushed the door and ran in.
Just as I was about to go inside, a voice came: "Who?" ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a night watchman coming over with a lantern.
Because I've been living in the Zhao family for a day, the Zhao family's family basically knows me.
So the guy looked at me directly and asked, "It turned out to be you, why did you come here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" ”
I glanced at the housekeeper, then pretended to be a little drunk and said, "I...... I drank some wine with your young master, and I will look for it when I come out...... I can't find the door, I didn't just find it, I ...... I'll go back now. ”
With that, I staggered and walked towards the courtyard where the figure had just run in.
The family hurriedly helped me up and said, "You have made a mistake, this is not your room." This is our future young grandmother's yard, your room is in front, I'll send you back now. ”
After saying that, the family helped me to my room, and I leaned on the family's body.
But at this time, there was a shocking wave in my heart, I thought it couldn't be Qing Yao, Qing Yao couldn't appear here. The fragrance just now was definitely just a coincidence, and it definitely couldn't be Qing Yao, I told myself this in my heart.
"Alright, alright, here we are." The family helped me into my room.
After the family put me on the bed, he looked at the wine jug on the table and said, "I really drank so much, and you can really drink it." ”
As he spoke, he took all the things on the table away.
When the family left, I jerked out of bed. When I recalled that the yard was the yard of the future young grandmother, my heart was sad again.
"No, no, no, it can't be Qing Yao. We rushed one after another, and it was only two short days since we came here, and it was impossible for Qingyao to get here so quickly. I looked at the floor in the room and muttered to myself.
But then, I thought that Qing Yao herself is a snake demon, and she is not a human at all. When I think of this, I actually feel very sad at this time.
But there was still a voice in my heart telling me that it couldn't be Qingyao. Qing Yao likes me, and it is impossible for her to marry someone else.
And so, I stayed in this room until midnight. But at this time, I didn't feel sleepy at all, and my mind was full of Qingyao's affairs.
"Stinky boy, I've received all your things." An extremely shrill voice rang out in the room.
I jerked in the direction of the voice, only to see Bai Wuchang looking at me with a smile on his face.
I hurriedly got up and said, "It's good that the Seventh Master received it, we happened to pass by the town, so we hurriedly handled the Seventh Master's affairs." ”
"Hehe, you're pretty good at it. I'm happy this time, but there's one thing I have to tell you. Bai Wuchang looked at me and said.
"Seventh Master has something, just say it." I walked over to Bai Wuchang and said.
Bai Wuchang glanced at me and asked, "Do you remember what happened to you?" ”
I hurriedly said: "Remember, remember, how dare we forget the things that the Seventh Master explained." ”
"I've asked about it, but you're here and don't seem to be at ease with it. But...... Don't worry, I've suppressed this matter, you have to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise you will find someone from above. Bai Wuchang looked at me and said slowly.
"Seventh Master, don't worry, I will be able to rush to Qingquan Village tomorrow, and I will definitely find out about this matter." I hurriedly arched my hand.
"In that case, I'm relieved, I'm just here to tell you. Nothing else, I just went back. After speaking, Bai Wuchang didn't wait for me to speak, and directly turned into a gust of yin wind and disappeared in place.
After Bai Wuchang left, I lay down on the bed. Then I decided to leave here early tomorrow morning.
As for the man....... If she is not Qing Yao, it is the best, if it is really ...... That can only mean that our fate is over. Anyway, I can only put down Qing Yao's matter for the time being.
I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, I called Jiusheng early. Then I told him about Bai Impermanence looking for me, and Jiusheng also decided to leave now.
But just as we walked to the Zhao family's compound, I suddenly noticed that Zhao Cheng walked out from the side.
"Brother Chu Yan, what are you doing here?" Zhao Cheng ran up to look at me and asked.
I glanced at Zhao Cheng and said, "Zhao Cheng, I'm really sorry, we have to leave here today." Because we have something to take care of, and we can't wait to wait. ”
"That'...... So when are you coming back? Zhao Cheng asked.
"It's not clear." I shook my head and said.
Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said, "That's it, it's not easy for me to know your two brothers." And my life's events can't be without you, so when you come back after finishing things, I will postpone my family affairs and wait for you. ”
I remembered what happened last night, and then looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "This kind of thing is fate, you still get married according to the date." ”
"No, if you don't agree, I won't let you go today." Zhao Cheng said directly in front of me and Jiusheng.
Because I was more anxious about the affairs of Qingquan Village, I had to compromise in the face of Zhao Cheng in the end.
"Well, I promise you that I'll come back to your family affair when I'm done." I looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. The big husband said his word, and the horse was difficult to chase. Saying that, Zhao Cheng got out of the way.
I nodded at Zhao Cheng, and then walked out of Zhao's house with Jiusheng. As soon as Jiusheng and I came out, we directly bought two fast horses. We rode our horses and followed the route we had inquired about, and then rushed to Qingquan Village.
Along the way, Hisashi asked about the aftermath of last night's drink. I told him about last night, but I didn't tell him about the person I met.
Since we arrived on horseback, it didn't take us half a day to reach Qingquan Village. When we walked a few miles to Qingquan Village, we found that there were many people on the road wearing tattered clothes, and it seemed that they had escaped from Qingquan Village.
Their lips were particularly dry, and they all looked sickly, as if they had not lived long. However, these people looked more like people who were weakened by lack of food, but Hisashi and I didn't come close to them.
Just as we were about to reach Qingquan Village, I noticed quite a few dead animal carcasses on the road. There were also a lot of flying insects on the corpse, and the flying insects kept flying around the corpse.
"It seems that there is an outbreak of the plague, but it stands to reason that the news has already spread. But we are in the town, why is there not the slightest thing about the outbreak of the plague in Qingquan Village? And we didn't see these people in the town at all, and the plague here didn't spread, what the hell is going on? Hisashi asked, looking at me on his horse.
I thought for a while and said, "This is not clear, but the Seventh Master said before that this plague was caused by the people of the Yang World. The news didn't get out and probably had something to do with those people, that is, we had to find those people first. ”
After hearing this, Jiusheng nodded: "Hurry up and see if there are any clues in Qingquan Village." ”
I nodded, and then sped up and followed Hisashi towards Qingquan Village.
Soon we saw a village in the distance, and it looked quite large, almost half the size of the town. When we walked to the entrance of the village, I saw a gatehouse at the entrance of the village, and a large plaque hung on the gatehouse. The plaque reads three gilded characters, Qingquan Village.
"It's finally here, and I'm almost throwing up on horseback riding this way." Hisashi said as he got off his horse.
I didn't speak, but looked into the village.
The village was extremely quiet, and no one could be heard in the middle of the day, let alone a single person. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, and a dry weed rolled in the wind. The houses in the distance are all wooden, and they look pretty good. It's just that with the current scene, it looks particularly bleak.
"Let's go, let's go in first." I said a word and was going to go inside.
Jiusheng glanced at me, then grabbed me and said, "You just want to die if you go in like this." ”
When Jiusheng said this, I suddenly remembered that there was a plague in this place, and we would not be looking for death if we went in like this.
"Give." At this time, Jiusheng handed me a black face towel.
I took one look and put the towel on my face. Then I smelled a strange smell, but I couldn't figure out exactly what it was, it was weird.
