I saw a small dark alley over there, and a figure flashed behind the high platform, and soon disappeared.

As soon as Lin Xi was about to say something, Zhou Ke had already jumped after him with light skills, like a gust of wind, Lin Xi could only see the afterimage.

This made Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh again, it was really convenient to have kung fu.

Zhou Ke chased after her, and Lin Xi was not idle, she dragged the two horses to the side and tied the reins to the column on the side of the road.

Then she turned and walked down the street, and saw that there were many shops on both sides, but they were all closed, and she didn't know what business they were doing.

Lin Xi found a family and knocked on the door, but no one answered inside.

She searched for them one by one, but there was no answer.

In the night, Lin Xi heard his own heartbeat obviously.

She could finally be sure that there was no one here, no different from Zakong County. Not even the people from the government. Otherwise, an official who was inspecting would have appeared in front of her and asked who she was. And the figure he saw just now is estimated to be the only living person in this county.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi heard someone calling him.

"Miss Lin."

Lin Xi turned around and saw Zhou Ke appear not far away, striding towards her with a person in his hand.

When Lin Xi got closer, he saw clearly that it was a little boy of eight or nine years old, covered in dirt, his face was also gray, he struggled with his hands and feet, and tried to bite Zhou Ke's hand.

Zhou Ke clamped his hands very easily, making him unable to move.

In front of Lin Xi, Zhou Ke put down the child, grabbed him by the collar when he pulled his legs to run, and said, "Miss Lin, this is the person we saw just now." When I chased after me, I looked elsewhere and there was no one. ”

She guessed yes.

Lin Xi looked down at the little boy, "Kid, who are you?" What about the people of Pei County? ”

The little boy's eyes were clear and clever, but at the moment he was full of anger, glaring at Lin Xi and shouting, "Don't think I'll tell you!" Villain! You're all bad guys! ”

Zhou Ke frowned: "If we are bad people, when I catch you, I will pierce you with a sword." ”

The little boy said indignantly: "Hmph, you are trying to find the villagers through me, don't think that I can't see through your tricks!" I'm smart! ”

Lin Xi was stunned. She squatted down, her eyes at the level of the little boy: "You mean, someone came to arrest your Peixian people before?" Do what? ”

The little boy scolded: "Pretend not to know anything! I won't tell you! ”

Zhou Ke's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "Miss Lin, wait a minute, I'll ask him." ”

He dragged the little boy and was about to leave, but Lin Xi hurriedly stopped him, "Don't, don't, I'll come." She could hear the meaning of Zhou Ke's words, Zhou Ke was afraid that he was going to use the same means to deal with adults, how could a child stand it.

Lin Xi tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible, "We are not the people you said you were talking about. Do you see if we dress and act in the same way as those people? And our accent, our appearance, we are obviously outsiders. ”

The little boy was stunned when he heard this, but he still looked at Lin Xi with hostility.

Lin Xi looked at the little boy and said, "Your clothes are torn in many places, and no one has sewn them for many days, so you are alone and orphaned." The clothes are dirty and messy, the conditions are not good, and the face is yellow and thin, which means that you have not eaten the last meal. It should be a beggar. ”

"Now Pei County is empty, and it is obviously unsafe. But you still dare to come by yourself at night, which shows that you are bold. My friend is strong in martial arts, you can hide for so long, it won't be that you can also do kung fu, then you should rely on your familiarity with this place to dodge. If I'm not mistaken, you've probably been to places where ordinary people don't go. ”

The little boy looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Lin Xi to say these words.

Lin Xi said at this time: "It seems that you know a lot of news. Very good, we don't embarrass people, we just came to you to ask. You don't want to say what happened in Pei County, let me ask you something else. Like, we're here to find friends. ”

"On the 20th, did you have a few outsiders in Pei County? Well, they were very recognizable, with several large carriages, and among them was a young man who was mute, and he was accompanied by a stupid big man, and there was a man who looked stunned. ”

Hearing this, the little boy's face changed slightly.

Lin Xi immediately said, "Do you know them?" I am their sister-in-law, and they are acquaintances. ”

The little boy stiffened his neck and said, "I don't know! Don't know anything! ”

Lin Xi deliberately said with a calm face: "I'm here to help them." They're in trouble, and if they can't wait for my help, they'll die. Even if you don't want to tell the bad guys about them, do you want to see them die? ”

The little boy looked uncertain. After hesitating for a moment, he shouted, "But how do I know if you are their sister-in-law!" ”

"Won't you just ask them?" Lin Xi said quickly.

"I can't ask!"

"Why?"

"They're all gone!"

As soon as he spoke, the little boy immediately reacted, covered his mouth with a chirp, and glared at Lin Xi in annoyance.

Lin Xi thought to himself, then they should have already entered Jinling City.

She asked, "Since you know them, you must also know who they had contact with when they were in Peixian, take me to find that person." ”

The little boy turned his face away, and craned his neck to pretend he couldn't hear.

Lin Xi's voice was stiff: "I'm not joking with you!" The plague in Jinling is serious now, I want to find that person to enter Jinling City to cure the plague, and more people will die later! ”

She had been speaking softly, and when she suddenly drank it, the frightened little boy trembled, and Zhou Ke was also startled.

Immediately, the little boy froze.

"You...... What did you say? Will you cure the plague? ”

"I'm a doctor."

It was useless to say more, Lin Xi directly grabbed the little boy's wrist and frowned: "Did you be beaten up about four years ago, and you didn't see the doctor take medicine?" Multiple organs in the body are damaged, there is a loss of qi and blood, sometimes dizziness, and the stomach hurts badly? ”

"How do you know? You...... You've got it all...... the little boy looked at Lin Xi blankly: "You're really a doctor!" ”

Lin Xi looked at Zhou Ke, "I asked your master to help buy medicinal materials and send them over, but it's here?" ”

Zhou Ke bowed: "Calculate the time, it should be yesterday at the latest." ”

Lin Xi said to the little boy: "If you see that there are a lot of trucks carrying medicinal herbs to Pei County two days ago, you can believe me, because I found someone to send them." The person who collected the herbs is the one I asked you, my friend. They have a letter from me that I have sent them, and they must know that I will be here in two days. ”

After hearing this, the little boy suddenly became excited.

"You're the one who can help us!"

Lin Xi asked, "Where is my friend now?" ”
