On a muddy loess road, Lu Xuan wore coarse linen clothes, carried three long swords and road flags on his back, and led the old ox to the border city of a poor country.

Many days have passed since the incident of Shangyuan Village.

At the moment, everyone has a haggard on their faces, there is no way, if you don't eat well and don't wear well, it will definitely be the result.

Fortunately, he has not encountered any evil in the past few days, which has stabilized Lu Xuan's mood a lot.

When he came to a slightly flatter place, Lu Xuan wiped the sweat on his head with his cuffs: "Rest for a while, you should be in the border city tomorrow." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ah Lai collapsed directly to the ground, gasping for breath.

Lu Zhaozhao carefully took out a piece of persimmon from the burden in her arms, which she found in Shangyuan Village, she liked to eat sweet things very much, so she brought it, but she took the last piece and handed it to Lu Xuan: "Brother Lu, eat something, it's very sweet." ”

Lu Xuan glanced at her, and reached out to take it without thinking too much.

After all, their food is still very sufficient now, and when they get to someone's town, they can exchange the stolen money for food, and there is no problem in persevering to Fengyang City.

While eating, Lu Xuan wrote something on the ground with a branch.

"My name is Lu Xuan and I have a younger sister."

"She's dead."

"There is another ego, who no longer bewitches his mind all the time."

"His birth seems to have happened in Langyuan Wonderland."

The branches were swaying on the ground, making a "crunching" sound, Ah Lai sat up from the ground, looked at what Lu Xuan wrote, and said with some surprise: "Brother Lu, what are you writing?" Why don't I know any of these words? ”

"Nothing."

Lu Xuan wouldn't tell Ah Lai that his consciousness often fell into a state of chaos.

In that case, he can't distinguish between the unreal and the real, and even his cognition will be invisibly changed.

He wrote these things because he was afraid that he would forget, wanted to deepen his memory, and was also afraid that he would fall into his trap again.

"Sister Zhaozhao, where's the map? Let me see. ”

The closer he got to Dajin, the more excited Ah Lai became.

It's been a long time since he's been away from home, and he's looking forward to seeing his parents again.

He wondered what his life would be like in the future.

Lu Zhaozhao took out the map he got from Zhu You from his baggage, Ah Lai looked at it with great interest, and when he saw a small dot on the map, Ah Lai couldn't help frowning and said:

"There is a border city of a poor country called Linxi City.... Eh, why do you have to climb a mountain to get there! ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan got up and looked at the map, looked at the few curved lines on it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The mountain is not very high, if you hurry up, you should be able to arrive tonight, let's go quickly, wait until we get to the city, find an inn to rest for a few days." ”

"Okay, Brother Lu, we listen to you."

After walking for a long time, Ah Lai was of course very tired.

But thinking that I would be able to go home in half a month at most, the excitement and the soreness in my body were washed away a lot.

Follow the route on the map.

In a short time, they came to the foot of a barren stone mountain.

The three of them did not stop and began to climb towards the lonely mountain.

When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Lu Xuan stopped, exhaled a few breaths of heat, and looked around, the strange rocks were craggy, he couldn't see the trees, he couldn't see the weeds, and everywhere he saw was desolate, and he didn't even seem to have seen anything like insects.

It took a lot of effort for the three of them to climb to the top of the mountain, but what appeared in front of them was a village.

The terrain at the top of the mountain is gentle, and there is still a mountain village!

"Brother Lu, let's just rest here for one night." Lu Zhaozhao tugged at Lu Xuan's sleeve and made him look back at Ah Lai.

Ah Lai was already too tired to do anything, sat on a relatively smooth stone, took off his shoes, poured out the stones inside, rubbed his sore calves, his feet were full of blood blisters, and then continued to hurry, if he didn't deal with it, he was afraid that it would be pus.

"It's not that it's not ......" Lu Xuan's physique is different from ordinary people, although he is a little tired, he can continue to walk, but Ah Lai and Zhao Zhao are still ordinary people, and they continue to hurry, which consumes their bodies a lot, but halfway through the words, he suddenly frowned and said: "No, this place is so desolate, how can someone build a village on the mountain?" ”

"Could it be to escape the military disaster or conscription?" Lu Zhaozhao guessed.

Ah Lai pouted: "How bitter the people are now! It's evil and ringing horses, and you might be able to survive hiding on this mountain. ”

Although their guess was somewhat probable, it was still not enough to dispel Lu Xuan's doubts, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "You wait here first, I'll go and see first." ”

"Brother Lu, let's go together." Ah Lai got up, the blood blisters on his feet hurt so much that he grinned his teeth.

Lu Xuan shook his head and walked towards the village alone.

On the way, he quietly cut his fingers, and then a few drops of blood merged into the "Tibetan Heart Sutra", and his figure gradually began to melt until it disappeared in front of Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao's eyes.

A black shadow poured into the village.

Lu Xuan hid in the shadow of the wall, he had a strong perception ability, but he couldn't detect any signs of living people in the village, he fit the wall, slowly moved forward, and just enough to see a few figures.

"Old man Chang, you still have a lot of white rice in your house, my daughter-in-law will go up the mountain tonight."

"It's gone, it's gone."

"I have it at home! What time to go up the mountain? ”

"Old man Chang, you still have a lot of white rice at home, my daughter-in-law will go up the mountain tonight."

"It's gone, it's gone."

"I have it at home! What time to go up the mountain? ”

"Old man Chang ....."

What are they doing?

Listening to the other party's repeated words, Lu Xuan suddenly felt strange in his heart, hid under the wall, and listened for a long time.

The three of them repeated these words all the time, one by one, and even the tone and tone were exactly the same!

Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then went into another house.

An old woman in the room was pushing the cradle in front of her and said with a smile: "Good grandson, when the battle is over, your father will come back."

"Good grandson, when the battle is over, your father will come back......"

Lu Xuan looked at several households in a row, and the situation was basically the same.

All of them were repeating one thing, as if they were tireless.

What the hell is going on?

Lu Xuan frowned, he didn't dare to stay in this place longer, and was about to leave, so he called Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao to take a detour, but suddenly heard the sound of the bottle breaking and an extremely strange tone.
