I looked around to find the source of the sound.

However, after searching for a long time, in addition to the darkness around him, there is also the woods that seem to have become strange again.

I couldn't find anything else.

But the sound does feel very familiar to me.

Suddenly, a name appeared in my mind, Leng Yuqing.

patted the door of the head, how did I forget this female ghost.

But now that the fat man is next to him, I don't really want to talk to her.

The atmosphere around him still revealed a strange feeling, and it was indeed dangerous to continue to travel in the dark.

"Brothers, why don't you leave tomorrow?"

I thought they were going to ask me why, and even came up with an explanation.

However, the fat man nodded without a second of hesitation and turned around and went back to the village.

I guess it's the same as me, and I'm a little hairy in my heart.

Back in the dilapidated house, it was not a few hours before dawn.

Looking at the dancing flames, I felt lost again.

Qinglong Mountain, Zhao Hongcheng.

What kind of place is this, and who is that Zhao Hongcheng?

"Brother Li, what are your plans next?"

The fat man's voice pulled me back from the state I was born in.

Two new pieces of wood were added to the fire.

"What's the plan, I don't even know where Qinglong Mountain is." I said helplessly.

After a moment of silence, the fat man suddenly said again.

"Since that's the case, then you can go to Yong'an Town with us, with your means, you can make more or less money in the city."

"In these days, it's hard to move an inch without money, and you can't do anything."

It's hard to move without money, that's true.

I touched my pocket, and the money in it was estimated to be only enough for food for two or three days.

If you don't find a way to make money, you'll have to ask for food in two or three days.

If you go to the city with them, you can make a living.

"Okay, I'll go with you to Yong'an Town."

The fat man slapped his thigh, and suddenly grinned in pain.

After recovering his strength, he limped up to me with an excited face.

"With you by our side, then I'm much more relieved."

I smiled helplessly, I didn't want to say more crooked words, and asked about Yong'an Town.

"I'm not very familiar with this place, can you tell me about Yong'an Town?"

"We don't know too much, we just look at the map and know that Yong'an Town is a town around here, and we came in a hurry, and we haven't been there." The fat man replied to me.

Soon, the morning star rises.

Against the backdrop of the morning sun, we left the dilapidated house.

Ignoring the villagers who were watching us in the shadows, we came to the entrance of the village.

With a long exhalation, he announced the end of our trip to Huaiyi Village.

Facing the morning sun, it was almost noon, and we arrived at the Yong'an town that the fat man said.

This place is not like a city, more like a township, but it is much larger than Huaiyi Village.

The population is more dense, and you can also see the traders and travelers coming and going on the streets.

With popularity, I have a lot of confidence in my heart.

Since we didn't have a lot of money, we searched around the city for a while and stopped in front of an inn that wasn't very expensive to open.

"Is this place liveable?" The fat man muttered.

"That's better than a broken temple!" With that, I walked into the hotel.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by a rickety old man.

Fortunately, it was daytime, and if such an old man suddenly appeared at night, I guess the fat man next to him would smash the sapper shovel on his head with his backhand.

"How many guest officers are going to stay in the hotel?"

The old man was polite and looked at us with a smile on his face.

I was a little embarrassed to speak, so I took a step back.

The fat man spoke.

"Yes, stay in the hotel, open a room for us."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the four of us and asked with certainty.

"Just one?"

"Yes, one!" The fat man repeated.

The old man pursed his lips.

I could see the disgust and disdain on his face.

But now we don't have much money, we can save it, and there is no need to spend "big money" in vain.

The old man turned back to the counter, quickly filled out the receipt, and then took out the key.

"Several, take the key, as long as you don't destroy the things in the room, it has nothing to do with me."

"There's one more thing I have to warn you about."

"Before six o'clock in the afternoon, please be sure to come back, and don't go out at night."

Don't go out at night? What's going on?

I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't bother to ask.

I took the key and went upstairs.

The door of this room is not much different from the dilapidated house we live in Huaiyi Village.

The creaking sound of opening the door irritates the eardrum like a pinprick.

The situation in the house was not good, and a musty smell came to the face.

There was only a broken bed and a table in the whole room.

"Brother Li, you rest for a while, and a few of us will go out." The fat man suddenly said behind me.

I also understood what they were going to do, so I nodded.

In the afternoon, the fat man rushed back, still carrying food in his hands.

Seeing their red faces and radiant looks, I can roughly guess what kind of work they probably have found.

After the fat man handed me the roast chicken in his hand, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Li, we have found a job here, are you interested?"

I'm a corpse chaser, and I'm a corpse chaser.

I'm not very interested in their work.

So I shook my head decisively.

Seeing me shaking my head, the fat man still didn't give up.

"Brother Li, you have to eat, don't you? We have inquired in this city, and the people who have died recently are all old people, and they are buried directly outside the city. ”

"You don't have a corpse to rush, can't you drink the northwest wind?"

The fat man analyzes the pros and cons of soft grinding and hard bubbles, although I am not interested, but I understand it, and I will inevitably be a little moved.

It was already dark outside the window.

I put down the roast chicken that I had eaten with only the skeleton left.

"Let's rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

When the fat man saw that I didn't refuse this time, he immediately understood and jumped on the bed with a smile.

"Brother Li, this order is definitely good, and it will be convenient to do anything when you have money."

As the fat man spoke, I faintly heard some familiar voices.

Like the sound of gongs, and many footsteps.

I quickly made a boo gesture to the fat man.

As the fat man shut up, the sound outside the window became apparent.

The beating of gongs and drums is for celebration, but if only gongs are sounded and no drums are played, then the situation is completely reversed.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Zhang San and Li Si glanced at each other, walked to the window one after another, and I hurriedly got up and walked over.

The three of us gently opened the window, which had been completely obscured by the dust.

"This ......"

We were shocked by the scene in front of us.

Everywhere the eye can see, there are torches leading the way, and under the torches, there are groups of mourning processions wearing linen and filial piety.
