Chapter 20: A Thousand Purples and a Thousand Reds (20)
——
In the half-collapsed wooden house, only the crackling sound of the fire burning.
Qu Zexi was already asleep.
Shi Yi was in charge of the vigil and sat almost next to Qu Zexi.
Looking at Qu Zexi's heartless appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
This guy slept like this, I'm afraid that someone else would come over with a knife and solve him with no effort.
It's really ...... It's hard to put into words!
"The girl is also heading towards Beiyuan?" In the silence of the night, a voice suddenly sounded.
Shi Yi looked at the man who was speaking, and shook his head slightly: "We just have a house gone, and we escaped from Kyoto, but we don't know, what kind of place is this Beiyuan?" ”
The man thought for a moment and opened his mouth to explain.
The man's name is Zhou Zhou, claiming to be the son of a merchant, and the people who travel with him, the woman is the sister of the family, Zhou Ru, and the man is the best friend Wang Sui.
It's just that when the three of them returned home, they were already wrong.
None of them are alive.
In order to survive, the three had to travel together.
Fang Cai wanted to spend the night in that temple, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have been occupied, and he was still a bandit leader, they couldn't get half of the food, so they naturally couldn't get in.
As for the Beiyuan he mentioned, it was just a saying circulating among the crowd.
It is said that a garden was built high on a hill 100 miles north of Kyoto, and the owner of the garden was a philanthropic man who had plenty of food and a good heart, and under the leadership of the owner, people organized themselves, patrolled, and hunted.
In Zhou Zhou's description, Beiyuan seems to be a wonderful place without monster infestation.
It's a place everybody dreams of these days.
But Shi Yi always felt that something was wrong.
"So, you're going to Beiyuan?" Shi Yi picked a fire and splashed a lot of sparks.
"Hmm." Zhou Zhou nodded: "Our destination is Beiyuan." If Beiyuan is really as good as the rumors say, he only hopes that this bad luck will pass soon.
"Good luck to you." Shi Yi leaned against the wall, took out the kitchen knife on his waist, and carefully wiped it with a strip of cloth.
"Girl, aren't you going? If it were that good there, at least we wouldn't be starving and cold. Zhou Zhou looked at the tightly wrapped, petite and delicate woman in front of him, and asked for some reason for a while.
Although it was just a meeting in Pingshui, if they hadn't taken in the three of them tonight, I'm afraid they would have to sleep outside.
"What if not?" There are some things that she doesn't believe if she doesn't witness them with her own eyes, not to mention, she has a better choice, why go all the way to that side for a piece of news that she doesn't know if it's true or not?
Sometimes, a lot of people is not necessarily good.
Especially in this game where anything can happen.
"Then ......" Zhou Zhou was still thinking about opening his mouth, but was suddenly glared at by Shi Yi, and then saw that the other party was silent, Zhou Zhou, who reacted, immediately shut up and stared at the surroundings with a nervous face.
"Ga~" The mournful bird cry came from outside, followed by the sound of vines crawling, rolling over the planks and climbing onto the roof, and the half-collapsed house faintly felt a little crumbling.
Shi Yi squeezed the kitchen knife tightly and gently pulled the sleeping Qu Zexi with one hand, who opened his eyes in a daze and looked like he hadn't woken up.
But honestly didn't make a sound.
Zhou Ru and Wang Sui were also sober, but their faces were a little frightened.
"Bump!" The planks of the roof fell, making a crisp sound on the ground, and almost at the same time, a vine the thickness of an arm, with a brilliant yellow flower, rushed into the house with a whoosh, and the planks fell in scattered places, and the originally closed flowers bloomed in an instant, and a bloody bird hit the hole in the roof and fell directly into the flowers.
