Beishan County was completely chaotic, without the suppression of the North and South Martial Arts, countless refugees began to be restless, fighting and even killing people for a little food, and the corpses were piled up on the streets and no one dealt with them.

The disciples of Nanwu Academy also fled from the Nanwu Academy Castle, and they didn't even dare to stay inside with their families, not only because Ren Qiu was in charge, but also because there were too many refugees here.

Order is gone, only chaos remains.

Every day, countless refugees drag their families out of the city and go farther away in search of a glimmer of life.

Ren Qiu buried the bodies of Deng Xiu and the three of them in a hill outside the city, facing Beishan County, which was also considered a good feng shui, and then stayed for more than half a month, and only then left after searching the castle of Nanwuyuan.

Came to a hillside, looked at the lonely small mound, and stayed quietly for a long time, the Liu family left Beishan County when he betrayed the Nanwu Academy.

Sighing secretly, he looked back in the direction of Beishan County, the dilapidated county seat, shrouded in mist, with faint outlines visible.

......

Beishan County, which is already remote, has been sacked by bandits after natural and man-made disasters, and it has been uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and there are bones everywhere.

There were no boats on the dilapidated docks, and the river seemed wide and quiet, with the wind blowing through the ripples and sparkling in the early sun.

Ren Qiu took out two leather maps from his arms, one was left to him by Bai Xuan when he left, which marked the route and location, and the other was the one he found in Nanwu Academy, which was more detailed, not only with waterways, but also with dry road icons.

After carefully distinguishing the information on the map, comparing the two sides, and making no mistakes, he turned around and left with the Starfire Sword on his back and a wooden box on his back.

......

Dry roads are not as good as waterways, and the routes on the icons also have mistakes, after all, they can't be updated from time to time like in previous lives.

In the territory of Beishan County, there are still some roads to walk, out of Beishan County, as far as the eye can see, the endless mountains, weeds and chaos cover the original trails, some places are even washed away by flash floods, or burned by mountain fires, and there is no route at all.

Stop-and-go, sometimes rainstorming, sometimes sunny, I can't tell the time at all, I can only tell the direction, according to the rise and fall of the sun, and rush with my head bored.

During this period, I also met some mountain people, most of whom had never seen a living person, and they were enthusiastic and vigilant, and according to the information they provided, they did not get lost.

Around Beishan County, there are three or four county seats, there is one on the route, called Chunshan County, the county seat is not big, it is also very dilapidated, it is smaller than Beishan County, but there are thousands of households, and most of them rely on the mountain to eat.

When Ren Qiu entered the city, he was confronted by a dusty street, with a compacted dirt floor full of potholes, and not many pedestrians coming and going, most of them with patches and single colors, and there were not many shops on either side of the street.

Walking all the way, looking around, pedestrians avoided one after another, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Ren Qiu, occasionally a few fierce guys, seeing the size of the tiger's back and bear's waist, they didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Yingchun Restaurant?"

Ren Qiu looked at the tallest building on the street, with two floors above and below, covering a large area, and occasionally diners came out, dressed differently from ordinary civilians.

The guy at the door, who was timid, didn't dare to come forward to say hello, and when Ren Qiu stepped forward to come in, he was startled, took a few steps back and tripped on the threshold, and stumbled and almost knocked his head.

This heel attracted the attention of diners, and then laughed, which made the shopkeeper angry, and came up with a kick: "If you don't want to do it, get out of ......"

Before he finished speaking, it was dark in front of him, and he was wondering why it was dark and it wasn't raining.

A huge bald man was looking at him with a pair of bronze eyes, his face was expressionless, his legs were trembling, and the diners in the front hall were also quiet, stunned and silent.

Ren Qiu frowned, and swept his eyes, the little twenty were eating, and the wine was set on a table, looking at their expressions and clothes, they didn't look like a good person.

"Guest, guest officer, are you going to be a tip or a lodging?"

The shopkeeper is a good businessman, and he has seen a lot of things from the south to the north, so he quickly eased up and hurriedly straightened up.

Hurriedly looked at it, there was a suspected sword on his back, wrapped in cloth, carrying a wooden box and something wrapped in animal skin, the strong fishy smell was pungent, but he didn't dare to make other moves.

As soon as I saw this person's dress and dress, I knew that he was not from this county, such a strong man was already famous in the county, how could he not know him.

"Accomodation. ”

"Then please ...... on your side"

The shopkeeper bent over and personally led the way in front, at this time, several strong men were talking and laughing, and when they saw Ren Qiu, their pupils shrank suddenly.

Ren Qiu didn't look at them, followed the shopkeeper to the back, and went to the backyard shopkeeper and said, "Guest officer, do you live in a room or a shop?"

Then his face turned white, and he hurriedly slapped himself: "Look at me, get used to it, don't mind." ”

As he spoke, he led Ren Qiu to the door of a room opposite: "If you have any orders, just let me know." ”

Ren Qiu nodded and said, "A jar of good wine, plus a few side dishes......"

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it, and reluctantly smiled: "Deler, you wait a minute. ”

Ren Qiu pushed open the door, a faint musty smell rushed to his nose, and looked at the room, the solid mud paved floor, a table and a few benches, a few tea sets on the table, and a bed against the wall.

Fortunately, the room is clean, there is not too much dust, presumably it is often cleaned on weekdays.

put down the luggage, stretched his bones, sniffed his body, turned his head in disgust, tore off some tattered clothes on his body, and sat on the stool shirtless.

Soon the shopkeeper dragged a tray, followed by a guy holding a wine jar, and walked in quickly.

"Guest, your wine and food, this is the meat given to you by the small shop, you use it slowly......"

"Meat?"

Ren Qiu was puzzled, he remembered that he didn't want meat, and after looking at the shopkeeper with a flattering look, he immediately understood that this guy was afraid that he would make trouble.

Shaking his head, he took out a silver ingot from his baggage and threw it away: "This is the money for the house and food." ”

The shopkeeper took it, his face was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Ren Qiu to give money, and hurriedly said: "Then you use it, if you have something to know, I will let people wait outside." ”

"Wait a minute, you've stewed this meat for me. ”

Ren Qiu kicked the animal skin package at his feet, and said lightly: "There are catties of meat in this, I know in my heart, don't be greedy for ink." ”

The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to take it, but he didn't mention it, so he hurriedly beckoned the guy to help, and the two of them carried it with great difficulty, and then reluctantly walked out.
