Li Zheng walked across the bank of the Tianhe River and came to the post station of the year.

The high flagpole was still waving in the wind, the dark sky was like a strong wind splashing ink, and large black clouds were torn apart, as if it was about to rain, but it was not falling.

The reed bent bends in the wind, and the reed is red.

Red reeds flew all over the sky, falling into the swamp and falling on the white bones of the forest. Li Zheng walked over there and took a look, but did not stop.

This time, Li Zheng didn't bring the old man, he came alone. But here he met Que Ge and her partner, Lian Shan, who is also a newcomer to the first detachment.

Que Ge had been waiting for a while, and when he saw Li Zheng coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Senior." ”

Lian Shan hurriedly followed, and shouted "Boss Li" respectfully. Li Zheng nodded indifferently, looked at the gate of the post station, and asked, "Are you sure someone is inside?" ”

Que Ge: "Yes, and we have confirmed, there are no wanderers who accidentally fell into the gap inside, they are all NPCs." The gambler sat in the courtyard and drank, and ordered a pig's head or two. ”

Lianshan added: "There are also dumplings filled with leeks and eggs. ”

Far away, even the mountains can smell the aroma of dumplings out of the pot, mixed with the strong aroma of wine, which makes people feel hungry in an instant. Lian Shan couldn't help but rub his stomach, God knows how he mixed up and became a fixed partner with Que Gecheng, originally just wanted to be an ordinary, small search and rescue team member, but was taken to death by this king of volumes, all the way to the bank of the Tianhe.

The old team members didn't come, and the two newcomers came, vividly explaining what it means to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Looking at the big guy in front of him again, Lian Shan only felt that his heart was beating.

Que Ge: "Do it directly?" ”

What? Is this a hands-on approach? Lian Shan was terrified, and just wanted to persuade him, he heard Li Zheng say: "No, let's salute first and then soldier." ”

The man walked to the door of the inn.

Que Ge and Lian Shan followed behind Li Zheng left and right, and Que Ge explained: "I checked just now, the door is closed, and the people inside have to open the door." Are we knocking? ”

Li Zheng: "Kick away." ”

Lianshan: "? ”

Isn't it saluting first and then soldiering!

Lian Shan didn't understand, but Que Ge had already stepped forward in stride. He hurriedly looked at Li Zheng again, only to see that the big guy untied the long string of crystal beads on his wrist and slowly wrapped it around his palm.

He obviously didn't turn his head to look at him, but as if he received his doubts, he explained: "There are a total of people in the post station, one is the people of the post station, one is the guest, and the other is the bandit. The way you enter the door determines what kind of person you are. ”

Lian Shan found that Li Zheng had a special rhythm when he spoke. The sound is very calm, slow, but in fact it is not procrastinating, the sound is not heavy, but it is very clear.

But in the blink of an eye, "Bang! Que Ge kicked open the door of the post station, neatly. And Li Zheng also wrapped a string of crystal beads, the small beads had an elegant purple color, each with countless cross-sections, which made Lian Shan's brain subconsciously pop up a thought - it must be very painful to be hit by the fist wrapped around this string of beads.

But he blinked, looked at the hand again, and thought it was beautiful.

The lilac crystal beads shimmered in the not-so-bright skylight. Red reeds flutter and dot the dots, like the sky

All the bright colors of the earth are concentrated here.

It was a pair of hands that looked beautiful to men.

Lianshan was a little distracted,

Until Li Zheng and Que Ge both walked into the door,

He hurriedly followed.

The people in the post station all brushed and looked over, some showed bad faces, some whistled, and the styles were different. The corner of the courtyard is full of broken wine bowls, just like the gimmicks of many tourist attractions in the modern world.

Li Zheng ignored everyone's gaze and walked straight to a man wearing a hat and sat down.

A gust of wind blew, blowing up the translucent black veil hanging from the hat. There is no face under the black veil, only a black hole, as if it can suck the soul of a person into it.

Lian Shan's heart was full of alarm bells, and his body automatically tensed.

Xiao Yi, who had a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, ran over for the first time, rubbed his hands and asked a few guests what they wanted. Que Ge looked at him with his arms crossed, and asked rhetorically, "Which eye did you see that we were guests?" ”

Primary 1: "This ......"

Li Zheng: "Que Ge." ”

"Understood." Que Ge responded.

Lian Shan didn't know what she understood, so he saw Que Ge suddenly pull out the dagger hidden on the armed belt, and a cold light flashed, and the dagger was on Xiao Yi's neck, pressing the person to the table.

The tip of the knife was aimed at the eye.

Que Ge was like the female bandit who came down the mountain, stepping on the stool with one foot and pressing him with the other, leaning over and asking, "Do you understand now?" ”

Xiao Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he begged for mercy again and again, "Understand, understand, aunt and grandmother spare your life!" ”

Only then did Que Ge let go of him, "Get out." ”

Xiao Yi was busy running away.

The guests at the other tables either sat back down at Shang Que Ge's glancing eyes, or muttered in a low voice, not knowing what they were talking about. No one acted rashly.

At this time, the man wearing the hat spoke, "Li Zheng." ”

He directly called out Li Zheng's name, and his voice was very peculiar, like the sound of gold and stone rubbing. Li Zheng got straight to the point, "Why did you leave Hudi?" ”

"I've been away for a long time."

"Don't you plan to go back?"

"I can't go back."

"There is no passage on the Tianhe River?"

"Tianhe, it's been rerouted." The man's voice was so straight that there was no emotion, with the coldness peculiar to metal, "The source of Hudi, approximately, became a lake. ”

Que Ge asked Li Zheng with his eyes, and seeing that he didn't object, he asked tentatively: "You didn't go back, how do you know?" ”

The man pointed to the black hole in his face, "The wind told me. ”

Lian Shan couldn't figure out what the black hole was or how it worked. He only remembered hearing from his predecessors that the source of the Tianhe River was in Hudi, which was a very magical river that ran through many crevices. Leaning on the red boat to Hudi, it is about this waterway.

"Do you want to gamble again?" Li Zheng suddenly asked.

"Last time, you won a garden." The hat man said, "This time, what do you want to gamble on?" ”

A gold coin slipped from Li Zheng's sleeve and fell into his palm. He put the gold coin on the table and pushed it in front of the hat man, "The gold coin from the El Dorado country, you win, it's yours." Instead, you leave the hat behind. ”

The man in the hat bowed his head, as if "looking" at it

A gold coin, silence for two seconds, "Yes." ”

Gamblers never say "no"

, but the content of the game must be determined by him. It's the rule.

"Let's bet today that there will be a few people alive in the station." As soon as the hat man said this, the other guests were alert. In an instant, the tension in the post station seemed to be filled, as if there were countless tight strings in the air, and a few steps forward would cut the throat.

Lian Shan subconsciously touched the weapon on his waist, and quietly glanced at Que Ge, always on guard.

Li Zheng was also calm and calm, "The range of people? ”

Hat-to-hat: "As far as the eye can see, a living creature that can breathe and think." ”

Li Zheng: "Time? ”

Hatted man: "The sun sets and the moon rises." ”

Li Zheng: "How many?" ”

The man in the hat glanced around: ". ”

The word "" has an obvious metallic humming sound. The black hole seems to have become a megaphone, shaking people's minds and even bleeding from their ears.

In the next moment, the man in the hat moved, and the figure seemed to teleport, making people feel that there was only a flower in front of them, and the person seemed to be about to disappear. It can be said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the hand wrapped around the string of crystal beads seemed to stretch out slowly, but it grabbed him at the right time.

"Don't be in such a hurry." Li Zheng didn't know when he had already stood up, and walked over, pressed his shoulder, and asked him to sit back down, "Don't kill people and nod to the ground." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the dumplings on the table again, "Your dumplings are going to be cold." ”

His tone was slightly disgusted, because - leeks are unpalatable.

At this time, Lian Shan finally understood the content of the gambling contract, and when the sun set and the moon rose, the hat man wanted only one living person left in this station. If this requirement is met, he wins, and vice versa, Li Zheng wins.

The way to meet the requirements is also very simple, kill until there is only one left.

Li Zheng, Que Ge, and him happen to be individuals.

But Lianshan looked at the others, and they didn't run, staring at them with a pair of eyes, making it impossible to guess what was going on in the minds of this group of NPCs.

I just think it's weird and creepy.

At the same time, Yan Yueming returned to Huayuan Road after work.

Pushing open the door, Wen Renjing was not at home to make up for class, and the teacher Li Heping didn't know if he was going to pick him up, and he was not there. The seniors and seniors were not there, and in the huge villa, it was rare that Yan Yueming was the only one left.

Wait a minute.

What about rhubarb?

"Rhubarb?" Yan Yueming called Rhubarb's name and began to look for dogs everywhere. But I searched upstairs and downstairs, but I didn't see a familiar figure.

Yan Yueming called the teacher again and wanted to ask Rhubarb if he had gone out with him, but the answer was no.

"Don't worry, it might be playing nearby." Li Heping quickly calmed down and comforted Yan Yueming, "I'll come back soon, you can look for it in the park first, and you can go as far as the chess and card room in the community to see, it has been to me many times, and everyone there knows it." ”

Yan Yueming made up her mind, "Okay." ”

When she went out, Yan Yueming subconsciously searched around the door again. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of something that seemed to be colored in the grass, and when he looked over, he found that it was a ball of colored yarn made by Li Zheng for rhubarb.

Rhubarb loves this ball of yarn so much that I've been sleeping with it every day lately.

The moment she saw this ball of yarn, Yan Yueming chuckled in her heart again, hurriedly put the ball in her pocket, and ran out to find the dog. In the park at dusk, there are not many pedestrians.

Nearby residents have gone back to dinner, and few are still out and about. Yan Yueming asked one by one, and finally asked a cleaner uncle and told him: "You said that dog, I did see it." It was about, how long ago it came, and when the sun hadn't gone down anyway, in the afternoon, I seemed to see it go out. ”

"Where did you go?"

"Let's run over there."

Yan Yueming followed the direction he pointed all the way over, thanks to the familiar rhubarb of the nearby residents, most of the owners and customers in the small shops on the roadside knew it, and some people really saw it in the past.

And Yan Yueming looked out in the direction they were pointing, that place ...... Is it Peace Street?!
