Qu Youying looked at the lake in front of her, which was not very big, and was a little worried, because she couldn't swim.

But I don't see anything or any place around that can cross the entire lake, so how do you get there?

She habitually looked at Mu Jingzhu, but what she saw was not Mu Jingzhu's face, and she felt a little twisted.

There was no outsider at the moment, and she reached out to get rid of the disguise on his face, but he grabbed his hand.

"Don't make a fuss."

Mu Jingzhu looked ahead and was thinking about things, grabbed her restless hand at this moment, and habitually kissed her on the lips.

His lips were a little cold, but they were like a clear spring in the summer, which made Qu Youying withdraw his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing that his hand was empty, Mu Jingzhu turned his head to look at him in confusion.

Because of his pursuit of beauty, when Qu Youying gave him a disguise, he painted another handsome face.

But after all, it wasn't Mu Jingzhu's, she always felt awkward to be kissed by him like this, but she didn't want him to know.

"No, nothing." Qu Youying blushed slightly, looked away, she stared at the lake in front of her, and asked, "There is nothing around here that can cross the lake, how are we going to get there?" ”

"Believe me?"

Mu Jingzhu suddenly looked down at her without answering the rhetorical question.

Qu Youying was slightly stunned and nodded subconsciously.

"Then close your eyes."

Mu Jingzhu picked her up from the front, and it was enough to see that she was lightly tapped, and she leaped forward.

Qu Youying only felt that her body was light, and she seemed to be running up.

She subconsciously opened her eyes, and saw that Mu Jingzhu was going to take her and step over the lake?

But no matter how good his work is, there is no place to step on the lake!

Although she believed him, she was still a little nervous, and the hand holding his neck couldn't help but tighten hard.

But the hillside they were standing on was getting farther and farther away, and the surface of the lake was rippling, round and round, like the softness of dragonflies touching the water, and the circles were staggered, and it was wonderful.

She just opened her eyes and looked at it, to forget the nervousness of being afraid of falling.

Until the wooden candle stopped.

"Here we are."

He didn't let go of her, just lowered his head slightly, looked at her with a smile on his lips.

"Mu Jingzhu, when did you learn the kung fu of floating on the water?"

"Stupid." Mu Jingzhu stretched out his hand and nodded her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I didn't see the circle by the lake, the big stone was placed, although it was submerged by the lake, but I still saw it clearly." ”

"Oh."

Qu Youying responded lightly, still shrinking into his arms, not moving.

Mu Jingzhu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Still scared?" ”

"Yes, sort of."

Qu Youying took a deep breath, got out of his arms, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he was still weak, and threw himself at him.

Mu Jingzhu couldn't help laughing, "Is this called a little?" ”

"It's an instinctive reaction of the body, and I can't control it."

Qu Youying was a little annoyed, she bit her lip tightly, her face was red, like the beginning of the sunset, white and red, very attractive.

Mu Jingzhu looked at her, and suddenly lowered his head and held the delicate lips.

"Y-What do you do?"

Qu Youying pushed him away, stepped back, wiped the corners of his mouth with one hand, and the red on his cheeks had spread behind his ears.

Mu Jingzhu raised his eyebrows, "This is also an instinctive reaction of the body, and I can't control it." ”

"You!"

Qu Youying pointed at him, speechless.

Mu Jingzhu laughed, stepped forward and touched her head, looking at the broken piece behind her, "Aren't you weak now?" ”

Qu Youying pouted, as if she hadn't heard it.

She turned around and looked at the ruined ground in front of her, and found that this place was big, but not big enough for a village to live.

"This place is the size of a street in the town, and it can't accommodate the people of a village, right? Unless they all live next to each other. But that's not logical! ”

Qu Youying originally thought that this was the original site of Inhuman Village, but now that she thinks about it, this place is not big, and the signs of dilapidation are only one or two waste woods.

Mu Jingzhu didn't answer, he squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of white sand on the ground.

"I'm afraid I'm drowning."

"Drowned?"

Qu Youying didn't know why, Mu Jingzhu explained, "Look at the land here. Where it is suitable for social living, even in a village, the ground is dirty. But here, near the lake, there is a lot of white sand, and this texture looks a little like lake salt. ”

"Lake salt?"

Qu Youying squatted down, grabbed a handful, put it in her mouth, and tasted it, it was indeed salty.

"I guess this is the original site of Inhuman Village, which was abandoned twenty-five years ago after it was attacked. After twenty-five years, the lake rose and flooded the original land. ”

"Lake water? But I remember that at that time in Xilin, when the bones were examined for the first time, the posture of those people was burned to death, if the original site of the Inhuman Village was really here, and the village was on fire at that time, wouldn't they have jumped into the lake, or put out the fire with water? ”

Mu Jingzhu frowned and said, "Maybe they won't have time to get close to this lake." ”

"Even if you are right, but I remember that the book once wrote that lake salt is extracted from salt lakes, and salt lakes are a kind of saltwater lakes, which are only found in arid areas.

Mu Jingzhu clapped his hands and stood up from the ground.

"You're right. But all the signs here can show that the catastrophe that was brought to Yiren Village in the first place was not something that could be completed by one Yang Taiwei. ”

"You mean, Taiwei Yang's promotion is related to his trip to Inhuman Village?"

Qu Youying got up suddenly, and because of the speed of her movements, she felt dizzy in front of her.

She stumbled and grabbed Mu Jingzhu's hand so that she didn't fall.

But she still said anxiously, "If what Su Changju said at the old man's house is correct, then the case in Yiren Village back then may really be related to the imperial court." ”

When she said this, she subconsciously looked around to see if there were other people, and said in a low voice, "Maybe it has something to do with that person who is on top." ”

She was referring to the emperor of the dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that there was someone who could control everything, then Taiwei Yang alone would not be able to accomplish this.

Mu Jingzhu frowned tightly, and did not express an opinion on this.

He looked ahead and walked forward.

Qu Youying followed closely, and there were some white sand things near the edge of the lake, but there was still some mud near the mountain.

It's just that the land is relatively wet, and there are a lot of rags, wood, and so on that are half-pressed in the soil.

From afar, it is indeed a ruined ruin.

"Where are you going?" Qu Youying cautiously followed, and said, "If you want to determine whether this is the original site of Inhuman Village, you will know when Xie Xiaoer checks it." ”

She glanced at the sky, and suddenly a large dark cloud was rapidly drifting in the sky, looking like it was going to rain heavily.

She tugged at the sleeve of Mu Jingzhu, who was still walking forward, "Jingzhu, it's going to rain when it looks like it's going to rain, let's go back first!" I want to go back to the old man's house and see if there are any other clues. At the very least, we should find the tree he said. ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingzhu stopped.

He looked down at the girl snuggled on his arm, and suddenly asked, "What did he tell you at the end, besides Xilin?" ”

"He said—"

Qu Youying was about to answer, but the rain was pouring down.

The two had no time to dodge, so they could only run to the foot of the mountain.

"Go there."

Mu Jingzhu had been observing his surroundings as early as the way just now.

He found that at the foot of the mountain, there was a cave, and there was no shelter in front of the cave, and it was just laid out like that.

This and the weirdness and so on here form a kind of theoretical irrationality.

But at the moment it was raining heavily, and only that place could shelter from the rain.

"How can there be a cave here?"

"You find something to make a fire, I'll go inside."

"Be careful!"

The rain came surprisingly, and it rained very hard, and Qu Youying's body was soaked and uncomfortable.

So instead of following Mu Jingzhu to the cave, she found some dead wood nearby and made a fire.

"Luckily, the branches aren't wet."

She pushed a shelf out of a twig in front of the fire, took off her damp coat, and hung it to dry.

When Mu Jingzhu came back, he saw her wearing underwear and sitting in front of the fire to make a fire.

He frowned, "Where did you get so many branches?" ”

"Picked up around!"

"It's too much."

There are not only tree branches, but also some large rocks where you can sit.

There are a lot of clutter around, and it looks like someone has been here for a certain period of time, and they have left it behind.

"You mean, people here come a lot?" Qu Youying's nervousness came from her heart, she looked around, but she didn't see anything, "Then what did you see inside?" ”

"The cave is huge, and I walked for a while and didn't see anything on the other side. But there are traces of human life here, and with the big lake on the other side, I guess there is another exit from this cave. ”

"What could be on the other side of the cave?"

She knew that there was such a big mountain on Xilin's side, but she hadn't climbed it, and she didn't come in this direction much, so she didn't know what was behind the mountain.

"I don't know, I'll take a look when the rain stops."

Mu Jingzhu sat down, he was not worried that Qu Youying would stay here alone, so he turned back.

"Then you take off your clothes and bake them first, you'll get sick in wet clothes."

Qu Youying reached out to take off his coat for him, and found that his makeup was a little flowery because it was wet from the rain, which looked nondescript, but it was funny.

"What are you laughing at?"

Mu Jingzhu looked at her and smiled, reached out and touched her face.

"Don't touch it." Qu Youying took out a handkerchief from the pile of clothes, walked to the entrance of the cave, moistened it with rainwater, and then walked in and wiped his face, "I didn't use waterproof paint today, so your face has become a big cat." Isn't it funny! ”

She wiped his face with gentle movements.

Mu Jingzhu squinted, "This is laughing at me?" ”

Qu Youying nodded arrogantly, "Of course." ”

Mu Jingzhu squinted, and his hand quickly reached towards her waist, grabbing it little by little, which immediately made Qu Youying's body stiffen, and then twisted.

"Mu Jingzhu, you actually tickle me."

"It's punishment."

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Stop dreaming. ”

Qu Youying dodged his attacks, but her mouth was unforgiving, she looked very tough, and she refused to admit defeat.

But every time she fought against Mu Jingzhu, she only lost, and she didn't even have a chance to win.

After a few moves, she was tightly held in her arms and couldn't move.

"Mu Jingzhu, if you let go of me, don't bully me, you'll die!"

Mu Jingzhu didn't comply, resting his chin on her shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.

"No, it won't."

"Wouldn't that be good." She moved her shoulders, "You're so heavy, let me go." ”

"Don't." Mu Jingzhu put his arm around her, closed his eyes, leaned against her ear, and said softly, "But without you, I would die." ”

A flash of lightning flashed in the sky, followed by rolling thunder, but even that didn't stop him from whispering in his ear.

Without you, I would have died.

So no matter what, I just want to hold you tightly like this.

It's for my sense of security, and it's also the strength to protect you.

Qu Youying was slightly stunned, and then smiled, smiling extraordinarily sweetly.
