The two men wore hats, and the black scarves on the hats hung down long to their waists, covering their faces.

Su Liruo just glanced at it lightly and looked away.

However, his heart has been vigilant.

Passers-by don't come here to eat so early, and although the man's voice is deliberately low, it is not tired.

It shows that they got a lot of rest last night.

So the problem comes, the hotels here all provide accommodation and breakfast, who is nervous and idle to get up in the morning from this hotel to other hotels to eat?

Can't hold on to it when you're full?

She walked over to Shangguan Jin and sat down, and whispered to a few people at the table: "These two people are not good. ”

Shangguan Jin and the others exchanged a look, bowed their heads to eat their own food, and no one spoke.

This is not the time to startle the snake.

Su Liruo glanced sideways at the two people over there, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and the backs of these two people always felt a little familiar.

He bowed his head and ate his breakfast quickly.

This is not a place to stay for a long time, the fire last night was definitely aimed at them, and the arsonist has not yet been found, so it must not be taken lightly.

It was close to noon when they hit the road again.

Because they are now very close to the Celestial Empire, they are not too anxious, but like going out to play, they will stop and rest for a while when they see the scenery is good.

In the carriage, Su Liruo lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside.

When she saw a familiar path, she suddenly pointed over there and said, "Ah Jin, do you see if this is the small village?" ”

Shangguan Jin raised his eyes and frowned slightly, "Yes!" ”

Liu Ji looked over there suspiciously, and asked, "What small village?" ”

Su Liruo smiled faintly.

Looking that way, a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

"We happened to pass by here when we went to Yuguo, and everyone in the village was held hostage by bandits, except for the two children who became their money-making tools, and then I handed them over to a little boy, and I don't know what has become of that little boy now."

As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, and when she recalled the stubborn eyes of the little boy, she felt that the child would definitely not be easy in the future.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?"

Yu Wolf outside the carriage asked softly, and as soon as the reins in his hand were pulled, the carriage stopped in place.

Su Liruo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Shangguan Jin with a look of surprise.

"Since you want to go, go for it!"

Shangguan Jin sighed helplessly, he originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw those bright and excited eyes, he still compromised.

The carriage gradually made its way down the path.

The original dilapidated road has been simply repaired, and although it is not easy to walk, at least the carriage will not be too bumpy.

Su Liruo looked over there expectantly, but when the village slowly appeared in front of him, Su Liruo's eyes became fierce in an instant.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Ji sat opposite Su Liruo and noticed her strangeness at the first time.

"Something happened in the village."

Su Liruo gritted his teeth and said, a pair of small hands clenched fiercely, and several of them had slightly sharp fingers that had pierced into the palms.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jin gently held her little hand, and his expression was full of distress.

"Yu wolf, be faster."

He said in a deep voice to Yu Wolf outside.

"Okay."

Yu Wolf responded excitedly, for speed, if he called second, no one would dare to call first, and the horsewhip in his hand was raised high.

"Smack!" With a bang, the carriage sped off on the path.

The few people in the car all looked towards his location with a look of resentment.

The village was not far away, and Yu Wolf's speed was very fast, so soon the carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.

Su Liruo and the others got out of the carriage.

"Ruo'er, what did you say happened here?"

Yu Wolf frowned and looked inside.

The village was quiet, there was no one, the doors of the peasant houses were all tightly closed, but the doors of a few houses were open, but there was no one in the house.

This is clearly not normal.

Su Liruo closed his eyes and quietly listened to the movements around him, his dexterous ears moved, and he opened his eyes and pointed towards the hill behind the village.

"Everybody's there."

With that, he took the lead and walked towards that side.

Liu Ji and Yu Wolf followed closely behind, but Shangguan Jin hesitated for a long time before catching up.

He didn't want Su Liruo to meddle in these things, but he knew that even if he said it, Su Liruo wouldn't listen to him.

At the foot of the mountain, Su Liruo stood in front of a huge cave, bent down and picked up a piece of soil on the ground and put it between his nose to smell it.

"This is newly dug up."

The soil was fresh, and it looked freshly turned, but the walls of the cave were different from the soil below.

It looks like someone must have blocked the cave with earth afterwards.

Shangguan Jin held his sword in his right hand and looked around vigilantly.

"Ruo'er, don't go any further." It feels dangerous to him.

Su Liruo slapped the soil off his hand, and a determined look flashed in his eyes.

Shangguan Jin sighed, walked in front of Su Liruo, and said with a frustrated face: "It's okay to go in, I'm in front of you." ”

Su Liruo was blocked behind by the tall figure, and she couldn't see the appearance in the hole in front of her, and a warm current suddenly flowed through her heart, making the corners of her mouth unconsciously pull.

"Okay."

The taste of being protected by someone is really inexplicably happy.

The cave was pitch black, and although torches were inserted into the walls on both sides, the inside of the cave was so large that the torches didn't play a big role at all, so I still couldn't see the road ahead.

Several people walked cautiously, and the footsteps were unusually loud in the silent cave.

Suddenly, there was the sound of running footsteps ahead.

Shangguan Jin, who was walking in the front, immediately raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

Then he silently drew his sword and looked ahead warily.

Su Liruo held her breath and listened carefully.

The little hand pulled on Shangguan Jin's sleeve, "Don't be nervous, it's just a child." ”

The footsteps were so hurried that they ran again when they heard it, but they were too small to prove that the man's steps were small, as small as the distance of a seven or eight-year-old child running hard.

Shangguan Jin's eyes flashed slightly, and he did not relax his vigilance because of Su Liruo's words, and still looked at the front of the black hole with a serious expression.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a small figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Su Liruo's eyesight was very good, and as soon as the child appeared, she knew that the child was the little boy that day.

She dodged and walked out from behind Shangguan Jin, holding the oncoming and stumbling boy.

"What's going on? Where have all the villagers gone? ”
