Bai Guichen didn't look up at Cheng San, he just grabbed the gourd tightly.

Cheng San didn't ask anymore, and directly pulled Shu Yan and the rest of the people forward.

Shu Yan said to Bai Guichen: "When a person dies, he dies, and everything must look forward." ”

Bai Guichen looked up at Shu Yan: "She didn't die, she lived here." ”

When Bai Guichen spoke, he pointed to his heart.

They crossed the Huai River, expecting to see some people, but the hinterland of the Central Plains seemed even more miserable.

Peeled tree trunks were everywhere.

and the bones of starving to death on the side of the road.

Shu Yan didn't know what to say, so Cheng San pulled a few people and walked on the road.

Cheng San said in a low voice: "In the hinterland of the Central Plains, there have been three or four waves of rebellions, and the people here are probably running away long ago, even if they didn't run, they are estimated to be almost dead." ”

When Shu Yan heard this, she was inexplicably a little sad, in her last life, she was born in a peasant family in the Central Plains.

The people here are faced with one of the food, the grain.

Most of the grain here is wheat, if it is normal, this is the season of wheat filling, but large areas of farmland are deserted, and as far as the eye can see, there are lush weeds.

Cheng San walked forward with an axe in his hand, while Bai Guichen was behind with a sword on his back.

The two children staggered, and Shu Yan followed behind Cheng San.

After they walked for a long time, they arrived at an abandoned village, and it was getting late at the moment, so Shu Yan was ready to settle here.

Cheng San took an axe and entered an abandoned house, and did not come out for a long time after entering.

Shu Yan was a little worried, so he called Bai Guichen to check it out.

I saw a pot in the room, and there was a black mass in the pot, which looked like it had been quite long, and you could see it if you looked closely.

It's a kid boiling here.

Shu Yan suddenly ran outside in disgust, she couldn't hold back the nausea she spewed, after all, on the way to escape, you can't waste food.

Bai Guichen and Cheng San didn't go out, Cheng San stared at the child in the pot, and then walked in, he actually reached out and took out a red strip of cloth from the blackened head that had been stewed.

There is a line written on it.

"Manifestations?"

Bai Guichen read it out, Cheng San was stunned, and said with a smile: "This is Xiao Seal, Brother Bai is really well-informed." ”

Bai Guichen was silent, he looked around and found some burned scriptures.

"I heard that in the Central Plains, a cult has risen in the past ten years, specializing in killing people and sacrificing people, which is very evil."

Cheng San looked at the patterns on the cauldron.

"You are talking about the White Lotus Holy Mother Sect, last year's drought in the Central Plains, thousands of miles of red land, the people fled, and died, can this White Lotus Holy Mother Religion still spread?"

Bai Guichen sighed.

"The more desperate you are, the easier it is for people to go crazy."

Cheng San looked at this Bai Guichen, and secretly sighed in his heart, this young man is not simple, he turned to leave, and saw the godmother who was drinking water frantically on the side, and immediately smiled: "Godmother was scared?" ”

Shu Yan wiped his mouth.

"In that pot, could it be that people are hungry, so they eat people?"

As soon as he said this, Shu Yan suddenly became even more disgusted.

Cheng San smiled.

"What did the godmother say, we are a country of etiquette, and cannibalism will not be so unsophisticated, this is the number of ways used by the cult to sacrifice, the meat on the child's body is intact, and this thing is not boiled for people to eat."

At this moment, a terrible laugh came from nowhere.

Shu Yan suddenly shook in fright.

At this moment, the sun was about to set, and the blood-like sunset sprinkled on several people, coupled with the laughter that came from nowhere, there was a sense of fear for a while.

Bai Guichen pulled out a sword from his back and threw it in one direction, instantly startling a group of crows.

Cheng San hurriedly stepped forward and pulled a frightened old woman out of the grass.

The old woman was very dirty, her clothes were tattered, her body was covered with dirt, her eyes were almost white, and her hands were also with red nails, as if they had been mutated.

The old woman cried and cried, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”

Shu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Who is the Holy Mother?" What are you hiding to scare us? ”

But the crazy old woman didn't seem to obey, and she began to scratch her face with her red nails, and in a short time she scratched her already terrifying face even more terrifyingly.

And Shu Yan also noticed that the old woman's ears were sewn with copper coins.

It looks extremely weird.

Shu Yan said: "Let her go, she should be a madman." ”

The old woman screamed and pushed Cheng San away, and ran directly into the depths of the darkness, it was already dark at this moment.

Shu Yan didn't dare to let people go out and run around again, so he lit the torch in the same place.

Several people sat in front of the torches, and they did not dare to say anything.

It was Huang Yuwei who opened her mouth, and she said: "Sui County should not be far from here, I have a relative in Sui County, where I can go when the time comes, I can also cultivate and buy some things, if I can find a chamber of commerce to go with, it may be safer." ”

Cheng Sanyou sighed.

"That old woman is like an evil man, let's go to a populated place early tomorrow, so as not to encounter anything strange again."

In the middle of the night, a group of people slept in clothes, and Shu Yan couldn't sleep, so he opened his eyes and looked at Bai Guichen leaning on the trunk of the tree.

He held the gourd and looked up at the moon in the sky, and there was a trace of tears on his face.

Shu Yan sighed slightly, turned his head and closed his eyes.

In the early morning of the second day, Shu Yan smelled a puff of fireworks.

It turned out that Bai Guichen hit a hare, and Cheng San was roasting the rabbit.

Qixiu took out the flatbread from the luggage, put it in a pot and boiled it with water, and when the rabbit was cooked, she put all the rabbit minced into it.

With just a little bit of salt, this dark dish has already made Shu Yan cry deliciously.

They really couldn't eat anything good on the way to escape.

There is meat that is already so delicious that she wants to lick the bowl, and others cross it with their own space, and she has nothing.

You can only eat wild vegetables with bran cakes every day.

When they had eaten, they packed up their things and left, but when they left the village.

The horrible old woman is here again.

The blood on her face had already coagulated, but she still stubbornly walked towards Shu Yan step by step, still holding a string of copper coins tied together with red thread in her hand.

And Shu Yan noticed that the copper coin on the old woman's ear had been removed, and a piece of meat on her ear was missing.

Cheng San said with a wary face: "What are you doing?" ”

The old woman threw the string of copper coins to the ground, and then showed a very terrible smile at Shu Yan.

The old woman turned and left.

Cheng San picked up the string of copper coins with a knife and put it in front of Shu Yan's eyes.

This string of copper coins is not the copper coins circulating in the world, and the texture and shape are different.
