Chapter Twenty-Eight: My Life Is Dead
"Magnolia Lane?"
"Bad luck."
"You, what the hell is going on in that place?"
"You're an out-of-tlander?"
Finally, the asked passer-by looked Master Bai up and down, and the latter was a little confused: "Yes, outsiders, there is a relative who lives in Yulan Lane, I want to inquire and look for it." ”
The passer-by was an elderly man, and when he heard this, he sighed: "Forget it, forget it, it's in vain to go, hey, miserable, it's too miserable." ”
"What's going on in that alley?"
"That piece, that area to the east, it's gone, it's all gone."
The old man shook his head, looked around vigilantly, and walked quickly.
"The area to the east?"
Master Bai felt strange, how the people on this street talked about Yulan Lane seemed to be quite jealous, and the language was unknown, and some people turned their heads and left.
Just as he was hesitating, a burst of fragrance wafted from not far away, which made people appetize.
Master Bai looked at the fragrance and saw that there was a small shop on the side of the road, the door was wide open, and a graceful figure was shuttling inside.
Master Bai couldn't tell whether he was attracted by the fragrance or the wonderful figure of this woman, so he walked in with his feet up, and it turned out to be a duck blood vermicelli shop. The big bowl of duck blood vermicelli, which contains duck blood, duck intestines, duck liver, duck gizzard and vermicelli, the big bowl is steaming, the bowl is boiling with chives and coriander, and someone shouts: "Ah wants chili oil." ”
"Sir is an outsider?"
The dishes and chopsticks were put down, the bewitching female boss stopped, Master Bai looked at the woman's face, and his heart was about to jump out.
"Yes, it's the first time I've come to Tianjing."
was ready to speak like a spring, but he answered honestly in the eyes of the proprietress, and after Master Bai finished speaking, he secretly hated why he was so uncompetitive, and he told the truth honestly when he was glanced at by the proprietress.
"Do you want chili oil?" The proprietress sat beside him, and Master Bai was tense and at a loss. It's strange to say, he has long been a hairy guy, and he has also experienced the ups and downs of life in the Huan Sea, how can he still be upset in the face of this boss lady? It's not that I'm too incompetent, it's that the enemy is too strong.
"Ah, no."
Master Bai hurriedly waved his hand.
"Mr. is here to Tianjing...... Play? ”
After the proprietress finished speaking, she chuckled, her eyes rippling: "This is not a good season, and now this city is full of people...... It's all ghosts. Saying that, he blew in Master Bai's ear, and Master Bai was half numb and crispy, and it took a while to look at the proprietress with a puzzled face.
"Ghosts, they're all ghosts."
The proprietress smiled and said in a low voice: "Yulan Lane is in the east of the city, and it was all killed on the day the city was broken, and you will go in vain, there is no one, they are all ghosts." ”
Her voice was extremely low and inaudible, only to see her rosy lips closing one by one, and Master Bai hurriedly rubbed her eyes: "That, boss lady, can you explain it clearly?" ”
"No, I have to be a ghost."
The proprietress twisted her waist and left, and Master Bai looked at the proprietress of the hired figure, and couldn't help but pick up the soup and eat and drink.
Master Bai left the shop, looked back and looked again, the proprietress happened to be standing at the counter and looked at him, Master Bai blushed, hurriedly bowed his head and left, walked through a street and remembered, why did he blush when he saw the proprietress in a panic, what is the situation in Magnolia Lane, what kind of person has become a ghost, I always have to ask to understand. He stood in front of a rubble until the east, the ruins of which were blackened by smoke and fire, and there was no figure around, and crows croaked from the crooked old trees at the entrance of the alley, and saw someone coming to flap their wings and pass in front of the broken street signs.
Magnolia Lane turned out to be here! Raising his eyes, the eyes are full of devastation, and there is no end in sight to a large area of chaos, like a ghost town.
No wonder passers-by heard that Yulan Lane was unlucky, this place has long been abandoned, Master Bai carefully checked, and found that those broken walls and gravel have exquisite patterns on them, looking at the buildings of ordinary civilian homes, it seems that this area was once very prosperous, there were many mansions of rich and noble families, but how did it become like this?
A cloud of smoke suddenly rose not far away, and the smell of burning paper came from there. A gust of wind blew through, paper ash covered the sky, and cries whimpered.
Master Bai was creepy, he tried to calm himself down, and slowly searched for it along with the cry. Finally, in the depths of the rubble, I found a woman who burned paper, the woman was full of white hair, black and yellow face, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and her clothes were scattered and tattered.
"Old man, who are you burning paper for?"
"A lot of people, a whole family, more than a dozen people."
The old woman muttered to herself.
"What's going on here? Why is it all burning, on fire? ”
"Fire? Hahaha. ”
The old woman laughed, and her laughter was hoarse and unpleasant, as if something was rubbing.
"Here......"
She got up slowly, staring at the flying paper ashes and sneering, "This used to be a place of great wealth and nobility, where countless rich families lived, but you see, when the city was broken, it was destroyed, all of it was destroyed, things were snatched, people snatched the rest of the people and killed them all, and then there was a fire, and there was nothing." ”
She looked into the distance, her voice low. If what she said was true, how many people would die and how many homes would be destroyed in such a big area?
"Why, why was it killed and burned?"
Master Bai felt chills all over his body and couldn't help but hug his arms.
"Money, the big handsome said that he would rob it for three days and three nights, no matter whether it is money or people, whoever grabs it will be whom. The people in the city were hungry and had no strength, thinking that the hard days of the official army were coming to an end, and the court had not forgotten us, but as a result, the officers and soldiers of the handsome were more ruthless than the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the Heavenly Saint Sect only grabbed food, and they even wanted people, and they didn't spit out bones if they ate people. ”
The old woman began to cry as she spoke.
Her eye sockets were deep, her eyes were yellow, and she was full of tears.
"Do you know the Huang family, Huang Qiu'e's family? It's in this Magnolia Lane. ”
"Huang Jia...... Qiu'e? Qiu'e was snatched away. The old woman shook her head, "Gone, gone, snatched away." ”
With that, she staggered deeper into the rubble.
"Old man, where do you live?"
The old woman pointed to the distance: "It's right here, one day is a day, maybe one day I'll go underground to find my family, everyone will be reunited." ”
It is true that the arson robbed for three days and three days.
It is also true that the city was set on fire.
What about the Holy Church on that day? It was also robbed like this, and it burned out after it burned out, right?
Master Bai turned around and slowly turned back the way he came.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed, followed by a cool breeze, and the big knife grazed his nose and slashed down.
Master Bai doesn't know martial arts, but he also knows that someone almost slashed himself with a knife just now.
It's not that he dodged fast, but the knife was blocked by something and slid down from him, and the man in black with the knife turned around and slashed again, and Master Bai exclaimed: "My life is over." ”
