Chapter 646: Dead City
Zhang Meng had already discovered that something was wrong with Xiao Meier. Before the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info changed, she must have been the first person to make fun of others, but today it is surprisingly quiet. Zhang Mengjie has already planned for her, but it depends on them when the two of them can achieve positive results.
Soon came to the send-off banquet, in addition to the people who had just gathered, there were more Long Tingxiao, Zhao Ziheng and Lin Fan at the banquet.
Seeing Lin Fan, Xiao Meier's heart hurt even more.
The atmosphere at the banquet was solemn, because everyone knew very well what everyone would face after the banquet.
Towards the end of the banquet, Zhang Mengjie said: "I know, the fifth prince doesn't want to bring too many people this time. But there is one person I still hope the fifth prince will bring well. Zhang Mengjie looked at Lin Fan as she spoke.
Everyone soon knew what Zhang Mengjie meant, but they didn't know what her real purpose was.
Zhang Mengjie knew what everyone was thinking, and explained: "You also know what happened to Lin Fan last time, since this gunpowder came out through his hands, he knows the nature of the gunpowder best. With him, many things don't have to be so troublesome. ”
Yu Xiyao knew that what they were carrying was the latest gunpowder, but they had only done experiments, and the real results had not been seen by everyone, and it was not for nothing that they did not know. Regardless of whether Zhang Mengjie was selfish or not, she was indeed for their good, so Yu Xiyao agreed without hesitation.
Xiao Meier didn't expect Zhang Mengjie to propose to let Lin Fan go to Yusha Country with her at this time, she knew that a large part of it was for her. Although this gunpowder was made by Lin Fan, except for Yu Xiyao, Yu Xilang, Zhuang Mingxuan and Xiao Chengyi, and several masters in Yuncheng who went to the Jade Yarn Country this time, the rest were agile masters. Lin Fan, a powerless person, may not be a good thing to follow.
Of course, it doesn't matter what she thinks, what matters is what Yu Xiyao, who is in charge, thinks. Hearing Yu Xiyao's agreement, Xiao Meier unconsciously hooked the corners of her mouth. All this fell into the eyes of Zhang Mengjie and Xiao Chengyi.
Zhang Mengjie, who had achieved her goal, laughed silently, but Xiao Chengyi looked at Xiao Meier and Lin Fan and sighed helplessly.
After the feast, those who should go go go where they should go.
Ten days later, Dongfang Xu came to the Liangcheng that Long Tingxiao said. As far as the eye can see, there are all half-submerged houses, and the unpopular city is not empty, but old, weak, sick and disabled. I didn't have anything to eat, but I just barely found some clean water to drink, and if I couldn't find it, I drank the water that flooded the house.
I don't know if it's because there is nothing to eat, not a single animal can be seen in the entire city, not even flying in the sky, it is like a dead city.
Seeing all this, Dongfang Xu couldn't help but ask Yutong: "How can this be?" Didn't we pass through here when we came? I remember it wasn't like that back then! ”
Yutong looked at Dongfang Xu and said helplessly: "Childe, are you sure you paid attention to the grass, trees and people on the road when you came?" If it weren't for the fact that when I walked to Yuzhen in Liangcheng, I felt more and more wrong, and I turned my head, I'm afraid that all three of us would have to live in the water! ”
Yutong's words embarrassed both Dongfang Xu and Wu Yuting. Dongfang Xu remembered that he was at that time, as if he was preoccupied with Wu Yuting's illness, and he didn't pay attention to anything around him at all.
And Wu Yuting looked at this familiar place, from sadness to moving, because at this time she was even more sure that Dongfang Xu did not lie to her. Maybe he already had her in his heart at that time, right? Otherwise, how could they be unaware of such an environment.
But after being moved, it was heartache, the three of them were just passing by here, with food on them, and with Dongfang Xu here, it was not difficult to cross Liangcheng. But what about the people here? If they could, they would have left here a long time ago. Even if they leave here, how can they make a living with their current situation?
Besides, although this place is deserted, it is a whole city! No matter how much Changyi City has in the city, it can't be wasted like this!
Dongfang Xu came to gather together to fight off the cold and hungry homeless people: "How long have you been like this?"
Most people didn't look at Dongfang Xu, and as if they didn't hear what he said, they continued to look at the houses in the water. There are also a few people who glanced at Dongfang Xu, and they only looked at the houses in the water like everyone else.
Later, an elderly man may have been moved by Dongfang Xu's "sincerity" and said: "This year's flood is like this. Hey, when I heard that someone from the imperial court was coming, and it was a prince who came to deal with the flood, everyone couldn't have been happier. But no one knew why, the flood was not cured, and there were not many chickens, ducks, geese, and meat left in the stomachs of the soldiers who said that they were here to control the flood. When the food was gone, the soldiers who had managed the floods were gone. ”
"The people of Liangcheng, who had a little labor at the beginning, all wanted to lead this water to a place where there was no water, but in the whole Liangcheng, where is there still a place where there is no water? In the end, those who could walk were gone. Those who can't walk can survive as much as possible, and those who can't survive will get out of this suffering early! ”
Yes, how can there be no dead people in such a life, but where are the dead gone? Is it buried? Where is it buried? If it's on a mountain, it means that there is a place to evacuate, and there should be something to eat on the mountain. Dongfang Xu quickly got rid of his thoughts, because even if there was a place to bury people, these people in front of him would not be able to carry people away at all, so what about those people?
"This old man, what about the person who can't survive?"
"People? Still human? You've all become lonely ghosts, right? The old man said and looked at the turbid waterway with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the lonely souls and wild ghosts don't have to do it, right?"
The old man's gaze made Dongfang Xu's heart jump, could it? I hope it's not true, but he can't help but believe what he sees in front of him.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Dongfang Xu still pointed to the water and asked, "Are they all here?"
The old man said: "This son is not a stupid person. I don't know what Childe is doing in this Liangcheng? But everyone in Changyi City knows that this Liangcheng is already a dead city, and no one will come to this Liangcheng, isn't Gongzi a person from Changyi City? ”
Dongfang Xu didn't know what kind of mood he was in at the moment, and finally knew why Long Tingxiao wanted him to go to this Liang City.
"No, I'm from Changyi City, but I've been cultivating in the mountains with my master all these years, it's not a letter from home saying that something happened, let me go home. If it weren't for the fact that my family had to pass through Liangcheng, I really didn't know that Liangcheng would have such a big change, Liangcheng was a treasure land in the past! ”
Although Dongfang Xu has never been to Liangcheng, as Cheng Jianhui's "only son", he is still very familiar with the various cities of Changyi City. (To be continued.) )
