Shangguan Li grabbed Xitu, who wanted to go up directly, and the two of them squatted down by the dry grass behind a dirt slope.

"Do you know what someone will say when you see it later, and you rush forward. Haven't you seen anyone cook? ”

Situ wanted to say that he really didn't see anyone cooking in such a hungry and cold situation.

In order to pursue a realistic effect, the two didn't eat lunch when they went out, and they didn't bring dry food, so they brought a little water to the road.

After walking for half a day, her already young and vigorous stomach had already been protesting with her unbearably, and now that she had finally arrived, even if there was really something unclean inside, she would have to be a full ghost when she died!

"Sister, we fled from Yongzhou, where there was a plague of insects, and Linyang couldn't get in, so I thought about coming out to find a family to deal with it for one night."

Situ weakly recited the tragic background they had discussed in advance, and said.

"I've memorized it all, and I won't show it."

Shangguan Li, who usually started with three bowls of rice, didn't seem to be hungry at all at the moment, she put her dirty fingers to her lips and made a silent motion.

There was a faint human voice from under the dirt slope, and Situ suddenly didn't dare to speak.

Shangguan Li narrowed his eyes and looked intently.

It was a man and a woman, and she could probably see their faces clearly by the last rays of the day. They were all very young, the men were handsome, the women were handsome, and they were all dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes.

They probably came to this hillside often to talk, and their voices that were not deliberately suppressed gradually drifted in with the evening breeze.

“…… Don't let people in. ”

The man's voice was only half heard.

"But what about Grandpa's illness?"

"That's not a disease, it's a curse. Ah Hua, listen to me, let's go to Linyang in a while, I heard that there are a lot of people over there, don't you love to be lively? ”

The woman's voice hesitated.

"Even if it's really that good, it's impossible, and I'm going to be in the mountains in two days."

The man became anxious.

"It's because I went into the mountains that I have to leave, my father and your grandfather, aren't they all sick because of this?"

"Don't mess ...... around"

Suddenly, in the distance, a voice came from a wooden house with lights on, and the two young men seemed to be startled, and did not dare to continue talking, and soon returned to the village together.

"Sister, what do they mean?"

In the past two days, people still seem to be ordinary people, and their words are quite normal, so Situ's hanging heart can be put down a little.

Shangguan Li reproduced in his mind the words he had just heard, and even the blurred movements of the two of them in the dim place were all clear.

After thinking for a moment, she said.

"It's useless to guess the flowers, let's go see for yourself. Don't forget to teach you. ”

Before Xitu could react, he was pulled out of hiding by Shangguan Li, and the two walked on the dirt path and slowly walked towards the village by the river.

Once raw and twice cooked, it's not once or twice to do this kind of thing anyway. Situ quickly calmed down after experiencing the initial panic, and anyway, the big ones were all asked to come to the fairy sister.

When they were still some distance from the village, two men were discovered.

They were stopped by a five-year-old man and a short, sturdy old man, and the lights were blind, and they didn't know where they came from, which scared Situ so much that he almost rolled his eyes.

"Stop, who are you?"

It was the old man who was asking, and he was very vigilant when he heard the voice.

"I, we are fleeing, it is dark, we dare not go forward. I wonder if I can spend the night in the village? Oh, it's my sister. ”

She estimated that although her voice sounded a little frightened, it was not overly sad, and with the reserve in her gestures, she looked like a down-and-out young lady.

As he spoke, Situ coughed twice very appropriately, indicating his identity as a woman.

In this day and age, it is not common to be wary of two women who look very weak.

"Elder, I don't think there's anything wrong with them."

The man leaned into the old man's ear and whispered in a low voice.

The two groups of people are separated by more than a meter, and ordinary people can't hear the other party's deliberately suppressed voice at this distance, but Shangguan Li is not an ordinary person.

She listened intently, holding Situ's petite body and waiting in place.

The old man who was called the elder blurted out.

"Then how can you do it, isn't it harmful to let people in like this? Let them go. ”

"But Elder, you see that it is getting late, if they continue to go on, go into the mountains......"

The word "mountain" seemed to have some special meaning, and as soon as he said this, the bodies of both of them stiffened unnaturally.

The man swallowed his words back and said again.

"If you go any further, there will be no one left."

The elder raised his frost-white eyebrows to the side, as if he was very entangled.

Shangguan Li held Xitu's hand and pinched her waist, causing Xitu to be in pain, and a thin layer of mist was covered.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?"

Xitu understood, slowly softened his waist, and the whole person leaned on Shangguan Li's arms, and took her back a few steps, looking like she was about to faint at any time.

The man was a warm-hearted man, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but reach out and raise his voice.

"Elder!"

The white-eyed old man was stunned for a moment, then a little helplessness appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

"That's it, let them in, but only to the empty house at the head of the village."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Before the man could say anything, Shangguan Li first said more than a dozen thanks, and said in a down-and-out lady's tone.

"Don't worry, I, my sister and I will repay you!"

The elder walked ahead to lead the way, and when he heard this, he didn't look back, but just sighed.

"Two girls, let's talk first, only today for one night. Tomorrow morning, you will go out of the mountain along this road......"

At this point, the elder paused suddenly.

Shangguan Li's mind turned, and he immediately knew what he was hesitating about now, but his face was still confused, and he followed the man who helped him to walk into the village.

There was no activity in the village, and the doors and windows were closed early, and the voices of people could be faintly heard inside.

Shangguan Li looked at it quietly, the ground here was mostly paved with stone slabs, the houses with hay roofs were not too close to each other, and there was a red lantern hanging under the door of each house, which was emitting a faint firelight.

There were several rooms with no light and lanterns hung in front of the doors.

I walked all the way and didn't see anyone walking outside. But it was obviously just dark, and it stands to reason that there should always be one or two people outside.

But until the elder brought them to a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, there was no third person.
