After thinking about it, Su Qing turned out some broken silver, and prepared to go to the street to buy some tea, in case Gu Dry would appear inhospitable in a few days.

Shuqing walked on the street for a while, although the night of Yanjing is not as prosperous as the noisy boat, but it is not so that no one goes to the street before the end of the day, there is only his own footsteps all the way, and the shops on both sides of the street are closed.

She came to the front of the shop selling tea, knocked on the door several times before the boss came out, and when the boss saw her, he hurriedly said: "Eh, how can there be guests here!" Hurry home, it's too late if you don't go home!"

Shu Qing was puzzled and asked, "Shopkeeper, what's going on?" I left the salt well a few days ago and don't know what happened. ”

The shopkeeper said, "Red Moon! Somehow, I heard that it was a mutation, and many people from the capital were sent to investigate! Girl, while it was still dark, she hurried home and locked all the doors and windows. ”

After hearing this, Su Qing didn't dare to stay any longer, paid the money and took the tea, turned around and ran.

When he returned home, he locked the doors and windows according to the instructions of the shopkeeper, and Shuqing cautiously stuffed some paper balls in the gaps of the windows, and then looked around, feeling that he had nothing to do. She thought in her heart that she would go to the teahouse tomorrow to continue her original work, and she could earn a little bit.

Shu Qing sat on the chair by the window, and after thinking about it, he still opened the window.

On Su Qing's fifteenth birthday, her master took her to the desert outside Yanjing City to see Yingyue Lake. The Moon Lake is the largest lake in the Gelesan Desert, and the moon is reflected in the water, and it seems that it has really fallen from the sky to the earth. In the center of the lake, there is an ancient sacred tree, which emits a faint glow at night, and is a good place for the people of Shiojing to pray for blessings.

Ever since she followed Master, she has been going there every year on her birthday. The Master would buy a red rope and write blessings with his own hand, so that the tree would be hung on the highest part of the tree.

On that day, the two of them also went as usual, laughing and laughing all the way, and the good time stayed after Shuqing hung up the blessing rope. Scaly, black serpents emerged from the water, their sharp fangs glowing with cold light, salivating as they watched.

The master reacted quickly and pushed Shuqing out, but he was pierced by the snake's fangs, and the snake didn't eat it, and threw the body in front of Shuqing, so he could look at her grief-stricken face for a long time. There were two blood holes on the master's corpse, and blood was bubbling unconsciously, and Su Qing's hand couldn't stop it.

The serpent appreciated the pain of Su Qing and turned to attack her, but was repelled by the token on Su Qing's waist.

The soul of the young man who escaped death returned home unrelentingly, and saw the sister who had prepared a table of meals and cried silently. After listening to Su Qing's story, the light in her eyes disappeared.

My sister's father was an alcoholic, and every time he drank, he would beat her and punch and kick her mercilessly. The master is a weak woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and when her husband beat her daughter to the point that she vomited blood, she resolutely took her sister away and ran around, and later settled down in Yanjing City and ended her wandering. Sister likes it here, she said, seeing that vast desert always makes her feel heroic.

Sister Ah comforted the young Shuqing and said that they would live together, but they jumped off the cliff and left a week later.

Suqing's nightmare was a bright red, with hopeless cries and a bloody hole that could torture her to death.

Shu Qing sighed lightly, her feelings for Yanjing City were very conflicted, the person she loved the most died here, but ...... The most loved ones and the best memories are also met here.

Su Qing lowered his head and took a sip of tea to relieve the depression in his heart, and was taken aback when he looked up.

The sky outside the window has completely darkened, but this "darkness" seems to seal people in a painting composed of black ink, which is impermeable to the wind, and after staring at it for a long time, it will feel suffocated. Shu Qing hurriedly went to light a lamp.

A reddish light shone in the darkness, and Su Qing was startled and thought that the neighbor's house had lost water, but then he looked closely—a red full moon hung in the sky, and there was not a single star around the moon, and it was still thick black.

Su Qing frowned, how did this red moon feel bigger. It's not yet the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A piece of paper drifted in front of the blue window, with a little burning ember, and then more and more "scrap paper" fell from the sky to the ground, like the next fiery red rain. But the embers went out when they landed, and disappeared along with the pieces of paper.

Some pieces of paper floated into Shuqing's house along the crack in the door, and Shuqing intuitively felt that this was not a good thing, so he took out the paper and pasted it again. She didn't dare to sleep, so she sat in a chair and looked out of the window vigilantly.

There was no one on the street, and everyone was so frightened by the vision that they didn't dare to go out. Around the third watch, the dogs of the surrounding people began to bark wildly, as if something was quietly approaching.

Su Qing's eyes widened, and he looked out the window intently.

When his eyes were sour, Shu Qing stretched his waist and relaxed slightly. Suddenly, a face was pressed against the window, all eyes were bleeding, and his eyes were dull looking at Su Qing.

Shu Qing screamed in fright, leaned back, lost her balance in the chair, and she fell to the ground hard.

The man slapped the window with his hand, and countless red handprints appeared on the window paper.

Shu Qing got up and closed the window, then lifted the chair and pressed it against it, blocking it with all his might.

The force of the window was increasing, and the hand holding the chair was trembling slightly.

An arrow pierced through the void and pierced the stranger's temple, and the stranger let out a terrible cry and a heavy clatter of falling to the ground, and calm returned to the window.

Shu Qing kept moving, and when she was sure she was okay, she put the chair down.

One person shouted into the house: "I have come to guard the safety of the people on the orders of the city lord, and I also ask the residents of the house not to go out before dawn." ”

Shu Qing replied: "Thank you for your help, and I will obey the instructions!" ”

When the people outside left, Shu Qing picked up an axe and split the wooden table into wooden strips, then sealed it on the window, and put the chair and wardrobe against the door, this time lying on the bed with a little peace of mind.

The city lord of Yanjing City is a shrewd and capable person who has made the economy of Yanjing City improve slightly, but it is only a part of the people. The people had mixed opinions about him, but the rich people were extremely protective of him.

By order of the lord of the city...... I'm afraid that tonight's vision has been going on for a long time, and that someone is dying here. As the saying goes, "the heavens are abnormal, and the world is in chaos". But this red moon is estimated to have existed longer than Yanjing, which is also one of the wonders of the Jingchuan continent, and even the royal family has built a large palace here to admire the moon, but Shuqing has never seen the emperor here.

And the burning pieces of paper...... It was said to be burning, but Shuqing didn't feel a trace of scorching heat, and the temperature outside the window didn't seem to change.

Tossing and turning all night, I thought to myself, life is full of nightmares.

Early the next morning, Shuqing jumped out of bed and walked out into the street. The strange man's body was gone, and the neighbors were pointing at the bloodstain from afar.

Shuqing also joined them, and by the way, he found out some news.

The teahouse boy saw that Su Qing was coming, and said, "Young girl, where have you been these days?" This teahouse wouldn't be lively without you. ”

Shu Qing pulled the young man aside and whispered, "I left temporarily a few days ago. I saw this when I came back, what's going on? ”

The young man said, "You suddenly did this not long after you left, and I don't know where those scraps of paper came from." At first, everyone didn't know it, but by the end of the night, all the people who were still outside died. Later, the lord of the city ordered the cessation of all night activities, and sent several teams of guards. That guy, presumably a homeless man from somewhere else. ”

Shu Qing followed the guy back to the teahouse and said a few paragraphs, but there were few listeners. The speaker was also in a lack of interest, and when the museum closed, Shuqing returned home with a lot of thoughts.

After eating a few pastries, Shuqing moved the table and chair to the door to resist, and when she moved, she suddenly saw a long strip of something lying under the chair, at first she thought it was with a rope, but when she got closer, Shuqing's scalp exploded, this is a dead snake!

Is anyone playing a prank? Su Qing rummaged through the cabinets at home, and found another one under the bed, and another one under the window. Without exception, all dead things.

Shu Qing picked them out with a stick and threw them into the distance. She broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but think of the big snake that pushed her life into the abyss, is it a coincidence?

Shu Qing reached out and knocked on the neighbor's door. The neighbor is an old woman who has been taking good care of her since the death of her master and sister.

The old woman opened the door, and as soon as she saw Su Qing, she went back to the house and stuffed some small pastries, gadgets and other things for her, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, I'm back." Where did you go the other day? ”

Shu Qing hurriedly caught it and said, "I went out for some things a few days ago. Grandma, do you have a dead snake in your house? ”

The old woman shook her head suspiciously, "No, Qing'er, have you encountered something strange, it's not been peaceful recently." ”

Shu Qing hurriedly said: "No, no, I just asked, it is estimated that a snake crawled to my house by chance." ”

The old woman said: "If there is anything to go to the guards, then I will go to the city lord for help." ”

Su Qing nodded, thanked and returned home with a bunch of things.

The vision appeared again, and when Shu Qing was telling a story in the teahouse, he heard a table of people say that someone from the capital would be sent to investigate, as if the power of the red moon had increased.

Will the moon also have power? Su Qing lifted the quilt while thinking, and couldn't help screaming loudly - a small snake entangled in the quilt. Su Qing poked it with a stick, and the snake remained motionless, and it seemed that it was also dead.

Shu Qing threw them out of the window and sprinkled realgar wine along the wall. She was slow to understand that something was wrong, not as simple as a prank.

As soon as the morning dawned, he went to investigate along the street, carefully checked the corner of the street, and found no trace of the snake. The main street was full of patrolling soldiers.

"My lord, can I ask you something? The feeling is related to a recent vision. ”

As soon as the soldier heard that it was related to the red moon, he looked at Su Qing seriously.

"There are a bunch of dead snakes near my house, I wonder if you have seen them elsewhere?"

The soldier frowned: "Snake? I've never heard of this. What is this snake like? There are very few in the city, and they are all in the desert. ”

Shu Qing recalled carefully and said, "There are round spots on the back, which seem to be light brown. ”

The soldier said, "Girl, don't touch it, it's probably a viper, it's very poisonous." I've written down your affairs, and I'll tell the lord of the castle when I have time. ”

Su Qing thanked him again and again. Then he went to a blacksmith shop.
