Chapter 22: The Ruins of Twenty Years Ago
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" said Shaoqing, holding his throat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Bi Yuan then noticed that someone was coming, pulled out the hair that blocked his eye, looked at Shaoqing, made a "shhh" gesture, and pointed to the depths of the forest.
Looking at him like that, Shaoqing couldn't help but laugh, even if he didn't speak, the insects around him would have been exposed a long time ago, and the silly boy still thought how mysterious he was.
Put the raincoat on the kid, and then hide behind the small tree, Shaoqing looked at the direction that Bi Yuan pointed to him, because it was dark, he didn't pay attention to it just now, and now he looks at it, there is indeed a black shadow swaying over there, but it doesn't look like a person, and I don't know what it is, I don't know what I'm doing there.
Shaoqing picked up the surrounding search insects one by one and put them in Bi Yuan's pocket, then beckoned him to go with him, changed places and hid again, and then looked at the black shadow waiting for something.
From a different angle, the black shadow looked a little like a person, but before Shaoqing and them could take a closer look, the thing disappeared in a blink of an eye, and just when they looked at the place where it suddenly fell silent, Bai Kui in the back suddenly screamed and fell into Bi Yuan's arms.
Obviously frightened, when Shaoqing and they turned around, they saw a person standing behind them at some point, ragged, with a stiff back, looking at the age of an old man, it looked a little weird in such a rainy night.
"What are you looking at here?" Before Shaoqing and them could ask, the person over there opened his mouth first, and his voice was muffled and hoarse as if it came from hell.
Shaoqing pulled Bi Yuan, who was pressed to the ground by Bai Kui, up, looked at the old man and said, "Who are you?"
"I should ask you this, right?" the old man tried his best to raise his head, but he still couldn't look at people squarely, and could only roll his eyes upward.
Shaoqing took a step forward and blocked the two people around him, "Are you a remnant here?"
The old man looked at him and paused for a moment, then turned around and left, Shaoqing, who didn't get an answer, subconsciously followed a few steps, and the old man opened his mouth, "Do you want to die?"
Shaoqing was stunned, "I don't want to die, I just want to know who you are?"
The old man still ignored his words, "If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly, there is nothing here worth looking for." ā
Shaoqing followed closely, "Do you know what we're looking for?"
Old man, "I don't know, I just said that there is nothing left here, let's go, don't know that you regret it until you are dying......"
Shaoqing was going to continue to ask, who knew that the old man disappeared after saying the last two sentences, I don't know if it was because of the heavy rain or the special geological environment of this place, and the dim light around him seemed to be somewhat refracted.
After searching around twice, in the end, they had no result, and Shaoqing and they had to go back to the earthen kiln.
Bi Yuan said that the person was found by his bugs, and when he went out, he nested there and squirmed, and there was no movement until Shaoqing passed.
"Have you ever been here before?" asked Shaoqing.
Bi Yuan shook his head, probably because he was uncomfortable in the rain, he took care of his clothes, ripped off the bandages on his body that were soaked by acid rain, and with bloody flesh and skin, Shaoqing couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but have something to say in his heart: You are so simple and rude to yourself, your mother didn't beat you?
Then he reacted that he didn't have a mother.
Shaoqing walked over to help, and Yanwa put the bandages and medicine she brought to their side, looked at the torrential rain outside, and said, "It seems that he has no ill will towards us, but according to your description, he is a terrible person with a fast speed." ā
Shaoqing nodded in agreement, "Under the circumstances at that time, it would be easy for him to attack us. He put aside the bloodstained bandage in his hand.
Yanwa didn't want to look at that scene, but just looked outside, "Maybe it's really the remnants here, are we going to check it tomorrow?"
Shaoqing took the hot water handed by Hongying, took a towel and wiped Bi Yuan's body very carefully, "What are you looking for?"
Yan Wa said: "Are we going to find the ruins of the Qiguan family back then?"
Shaoqing said: "Where can I find such a big place?"
Bi Yuan opened his mouth at this time, "I...... Know. ā
Shaoqing looked at his face, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Bi Yuan looked at him, "You ...... Again...... Didn't ask me. ā
Shaoqing, "......"
The next day, the rain still didn't stop, but it was a little lighter, Shaoqing and Yanwa followed Bi Yuan to the ruins of the so-called Qiguan family, looking at a desolate place, how to look at it and feel that there was nothing to see.
"How do you know that this is the ruins of the Qi Guan's house?" Shaoqing turned his head to look at the people over there.
Bi Yuan stretched out his hand to catch the seeker insect that turned back, "Three years...... Before, there was still ...... here Some signs, Qi Guan...... Home...... Badge. ā
As he spoke, he took out a sign from his arms and threw it over, Shaoqing raised his hand to catch it, and took it to see that it was a waist card of the same size as the alliance sect, engraved with the words "Qi Guan", looking at the rust and scratches on it, it must have been taken out of this burned place.
Looking at it, according to the traces of almost nothing, it can barely be seen that the area of this courtyard was so wide back then, it seems that the Qiguan family is still a family here, and there should be no less than 100 people living here.
Shaoqing bent down and picked up a piece of black that was washed out by the rain, it was originally a bone that was burned by the fire to this color, after so many years of precipitation and special environment, it has almost reached the point of carbonization, and a pinch can easily break a piece, and the reason why Shaoqing is in a daze at this moment is because this bone is a child's face bone, and it should be about three or four years old.
Yanwa passed by him, and she could see what he was thinking, "It may also be a natural early death, not necessarily killed by him." ā
Shaoqing knew that he was comforting himself, but he was always a little depressed in his heart, so he took a breath and put down the bones in his hand, and at this time Bi Yuan over there greeted them.
Walking over, Bi Yuan pointed to a footprint hidden in the mud, "Before us...... Over here...... Someone has been here. ā
Although the footprints had been washed away by the rain and were almost invisible, Shaoqing could really see it after he said this, and frowned slightly, "Could it be the person from last night?"
Bi Yuan shook his head, "His feet...... It's not that big, and the shoe prints aren't ...... Is his shoes able to ...... Step out. ā
Listening to his words, Shaoqing looked at the footprints carefully, indeed, according to that groove, it should be a shoe like a field boot, although the light was not good last night, but the old man was indeed wearing cloth shoes on his feet, and the kind of battlefield boots in front of him are generally only worn by people from the Alliance Army, so things seem to be a little complicated......
