But the river in front of them was neither wide nor deep, but there was no bridge to cross the river, only stone piers that happened to be a few inches deep under the water, not to mention the size, some of the intervals were within the normal range, and some of them had to stride through, and if he had not said much during the day, it was better to swim over the black light to save trouble.

Shen Shuyi hesitated by the water for a while, and then looked at Shen Qiu, the action of taking off his shoes and going into the water was neat and crisp, but he seemed to know that he was a little afraid, so he stood on the second stone pier and waited for him.

"It's okay, come here." Seeing that he refused to move, Shen Qiu opened his mouth to urge.

Shen Shuyi pulled her hair a little worriedly, took off her shoes and socks with one hand, and carefully went into the water. The weather has been getting warmer these days, and although the temperature in the river is still cold, it is not so stinging that people can't relax. The surface of the stone pier in the water has been polished flat and smooth, although it looks difficult, it is not as difficult as he imagined.

After taking a few steps, he put his mind at ease, originally thought that Shen Qiu was not afraid if he walked too much, in fact, these stone piers themselves are very easy to walk, as long as he sees that there is no problem at all, and after walking a few steps, his feet will adapt to the temperature in the water, but he feels fun.

However, as the saying goes, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? Moreover, he had never walked on such a bridge before, and seeing that he was almost on the other side, and that there were still the last two stone piers left, he suddenly slipped on his hind feet when he was stepping, and he was about to fall into the river.

Shen Qiu's eyes were quick, and he reached out to grab him, and forcibly stopped him when he was almost out of the water.

Shen Shuyi didn't know how much strength he used, such a strange posture should not be easy to exert himself, but Shen Qiu could hold him a fifteen-year-old young man, not to mention anything else, just the hand that held his arm, as if it could crush his bones.

After such a flash of effort, as soon as the other idle hand was released, the two shoes fell into the river with a "plop" sound, and he only had time to pick up one when he stretched out his hand, and eighty percent of it was already soaked.

Shen Qiu should have worked extremely hard to maintain this posture, and after carrying him straight, he couldn't help but rub his shoulders, and he didn't know whether he was angry or a little helpless and said, "How old are you, other five or six-year-old dolls can run over by themselves." ”

Shen Shuyi, who was standing on the last stone pier, also felt a little reluctant to go on his face, he walked by the river for the first time, not only wet his shoes, but also washed away by the water, this midnight must not be able to catch it, in the wilderness, don't look at the lights It doesn't seem to be far, if you really want to walk up for at least half an hour, the ground in the forest is wet and cold, not to mention, the branches and grass stalks are everywhere, I am afraid that when I look back at the place, the soles of my feet are bloody all the way behind me.

"Uncle......," he exclaimed, trying to show that he was very aggrieved.

Shen Qiu sighed for a long time, rummaged in the cloth bag that didn't look big at all for a while, and actually pulled out a piece of cloth, carried it and asked him, "Which foot did you lose?" Stick out. ”

Shen Shuyi lowered his head and carefully discerned it, stretched out his right foot, Shen Qiu squatted down, wrapped a layer of cloth around his feet, and tied his ankles with a red rope, so that he could deal with the hurry.

It's impossible to find shoes now, Shen Shuyi is not a person who cares, and he is already lucky to have such a fast cloth, put on the half-wet heel of his left foot and continue to walk behind Shen Qiu, although it is still difficult to walk, but he walks a few steps faster, and he still understands the reason why he can find shoes to wear when he arrives in the village, so it is better to hurry up and save the pain of the feet.

After walking like this for about half an hour, the village finally approached a little bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his two feet were already frozen, so he just hoped to find a family to go in and rest his feet, but Shen Qiu walked on the dirt road in the middle of the village two or three times and didn't see him enter any house.

"Wait for them to come out?" He asked, trembling with his right foot on his left.

Shen Qiu looked at him with a pitiful face, so he said bluntly: "The last time I saw a child here, he was the only one in the whole village who was fine. ”

Shen Shuyi looked around, the village seemed to be calmer, the sound of the families was not loud at this time, the children and the old people were still asleep, the young women got up to light the fire and cook, and after a while, the men who should go to work in the fields were going out. There must be dogs in the village, but they are all quiet, only barking once or twice, if there is really a corpse poison spreading, it will definitely not look like this, and ...... He asked, "Uncle, have you tasted at all for so many days?" Not quite right. ”

Shen Qiu nodded and said: "Not only that, the corpse poison of these people has no effect in any way, I have tried ordinary glutinous rice, and I have also tried the medicine at home, it may be that the source is not ordinary...... If it weren't for the obvious characteristics of these people, it is estimated that the paper would not have been sent to our house. ”

How can a good person be mutated for no reason? It seems to originate from corpse poison, but it is clearly not, no wonder his father attaches so much importance to this time, he is afraid that all the people in a village will become living corpses, it is only one of them, the main reason is the corpse mutation, it is not clear that there is no way to save these people, and secondly, if it spreads to other places again, wouldn't it be helpless?

It's not that they are nosy, there are rules for one line, there are 100,000 cultivators in the world, and it's okay to be alone, there is always a place to sleep in the world, and like the Shen family, it is different to have their own mansion and settle on one side, the people of Quyun have accepted them to live together, and they can ignore other people's family affairs, but ordinary people like this can't resist at all, and what appears in a large area, and may continue to spread, is within their jurisdiction.

Shen Shuyi's understanding of this matter is still stuck in Shen Qiu's dictation so far, although the general situation can be imagined, but after all, seeing is believing, but for some reason, he faintly feels that this matter seems to be much more complicated than they thought, not like a natural disaster, more like a man-made disaster!

"What then?" He asked, could it be that he had to wait for the kid to come out.

Shen Qiu's lips just moved, and suddenly his expression changed slightly, and he walked straight to a house, Shen Shuyi looked at it from a distance behind, that is, an ordinary broken fence yard, which seemed to be a little more broken than the next few houses.

Although he couldn't see it for a while, there must be something that attracted Shen Qiu, and he was not in a hurry to ask, he followed and walked over, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he heard Shen Qiu shout twice: "Is anyone at home?" ”

There was no movement for a long time, but the lights in the house should be on, and sure enough, after a while, I saw a mother-in-law of some age coming out of the house, walking to the courtyard gate with trembling steps, opening the door and asking, "Who are you?" ”

This is the first person in the village that Shen Shuyi has seen, and he immediately looked at it carefully, it is indeed the same as Shen Qiu said, ordinary people have all the characteristics of corpse poison, Yin Tang is black, his eyes are stiff, his movements are slow, etc., the only thing that is bad is that these people have no smell at all, and he can't help but wonder if his nose is not good.

He looked up and down like this, Shen Qiuzheng smiled gently and said: "The two of us are going into the mountains to hunt, this is my nephew, he came out for the first time today, and he lost a shoe by the river, can you give you an excuse for hot soup and a pair of straw sandals." ”

But the mother-in-law was very cautious, and then asked, "Where are you from?" How did so many families find me as an old woman? Is it bullying me to rob things when I am old, let me tell you, my family is really poor, don't waste your efforts. ”

Shen Qiu's face remained unchanged, and said: "Auntie, you misunderstood, my home is in Baiyao Village, more than ten miles to the east, and we have asked every family in front of us, some say that there is no food at home, and some ignore it. ”

The mother-in-law was still skeptical, and asked, "What kind of hunting in the middle of the night?" I'm old, but I'm not confused! ”

Don't be confused, Shen Shuyi said in his heart, but Shen Qiu's kung fu can be described as quite good, and the man is good to say, as long as it is a woman, up to eighty, down to three years old, he has never seen anyone who can not be moved, Shen Qiu, this person, has already made the entire manuscript before he speaks, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and ensure that he is sincere and moving.

I heard Shen Qiu sigh lightly and said: "It's also a misfortune for the family, my cousin, who is my nephew and his father, suddenly had a serious illness after the New Year, and the family is old and young, how can you live without him?" It's just a little better these days, I want to come out to hunt wild things, go back and stew for him, he hasn't had a break for decades, maybe people can come over at once, right? ”

After listening to Shen Qiu's words, he opened the door to let them in, and said: "I see that this little doll is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her body is strangely weak, just like a big girl, no wonder the old one worries." These thirty or forty-year-old people are just getting to the hurdle, and my family is in their forties, hey, leave my wife and son alone, not to mention how much they have suffered. ”

The three words "big girl" were properly poked in Shen Shuyi's heart, although Shen Qiu's face was not obvious, no matter how he looked at it, he felt as if there was a hint of a smile in it. This matter is also aggrieved, he has been practicing Danjiao since he was a child, even if he usually tries to restrain himself after a long time, it seems that he will seem a little "girly", usually in Quyun, he is the young master of the Shen family, no one dares to say this kind of thing, or in Xingzhen, the men who learn Danjiao are like this, and no one will say it.

He hasn't heard such a description for several years, and last time he met Jiang Tao during the holidays, and the relationship between the two was good, and she was just joking.

is different from those plays, he has never been on stage, and he doesn't have the honor and dignity of the play, many celebrities usually even deliberately increase some of the forms that favor women, but he is different, the play is hard to learn, but it is always like a disguise, and which young master is willing to be compared with the girl every day?

Although this shelf is useless, he doesn't want to let go.
