Two-three
On the land of ice and snow, there is a single figure, and he can only be seen in the vast snow-white! The sun has not been out for several days, but today, it finally came out, and besides, there is not a single cloud in the sky, and when I see this blue sky, my heart is also full of joy! The sun is above my head, and the sun is dazzling, shining on this snow, only looking at it for a while, can't I open it again! Even so, it is still very cold, after all, these four sides are covered with thick snow, and it takes time to turn it all into water!
In the midst of this snow, there is such a very special place, it is a mess, everything that should be burned has been burned clean, and if it can be taken away, it should have been taken away! Xiao Yi stood in this pile of ashes, just imagine what this place used to look like! Well, there are more than ten houses, three of which are wide and large, and it can be seen from the wreckage that there are more than 100 people living here! All kinds of tools, such as hoes and hammers, were also piled up and burned, and the pile of wreckage on the ground still made people see what it used to be, yes, it was a few carriages, yes, the snow was so heavy, how could this cart be pulled away!
Xiao Yi let out a long breath and said to himself,
"Good fellow, you're running fast!"
Xiao Yi discussed with the others, and he came to check the whereabouts of the other party alone, while Tong Lu and the others went to Bozhou City first! But as soon as they came over, they could only see these, which was really disappointing! It seems that they really underestimated the other party, and they had internal problems, and they also reacted quickly, and then looked at this ash, but it has been burning for a long, long time, if you guess well, you should have come back, and then you will immediately withdraw! At this time, it should be difficult to pursue again! Xiao Yi was suddenly a little lost, hey, if he had come with him at that time, wouldn't it have been better?
Xiao Yi probed in this ruins again, Xiao Yi thought to himself, if it was really as Zhang Shan and Li Shi said, they were just feeding insects here, then there would be no need for so many people! It wasn't until he found the things planted under the snow that he understood! These are some medicinal herbs, Xiao Yi carefully checked, it should be poisonous, so it seems that they have planted poisonous weeds on this black soil, some of them should be fed to insects, and the other part is mostly made of poison! Tsk, I think this black soil is an ominous place, but I didn't think that for this poisonous god's subordinates, it is such a treasure!
Xiao Yi looked into the distance, his eyes tingled, he quickly closed his eyes and wrapped the black towel on his face!
"Hey, follow and take a look, if you can't find them, then go back to Lu Lu and them first, and tell the officials about the situation in this place!"
Xiao Yi took a poisonous weed and put it on his pocket, and walked along the snow road left by those people when they withdrew, but it was extremely fast! The direction in which they withdrew was the same as that instructed by Old Man Hua, so it was also necessary to save a lot of time! Xiao Yi thought that although they were going in that direction, they would definitely not enter the city, after all, there were so many people, it was easy to attract the attention of the other party! When the sun set, Xiao Yi saw that the road ahead was no longer black soil, and the snow here was too much shallower! Xiao Yi couldn't help but turn around and look at the black soil again! Hey, what kind of place is this, it's so different, even the amount of snow in the sky is so different, hey, I can't guess it, I really can't guess it!
The sky is getting darker and darker, and if you go further, the footsteps will spread out, and then you will find a unified goal! Xiao Yi understands that this is the other party's deliberate doing, just to make it impossible for people to track! No way, the current plan is to go to Bozhou City earlier! Fortunately, this Bozhou City should not be too far away, the bright moon above his head exudes a different light, but it can also illuminate the road ahead, Xiao Yi found a way, if nothing else, it should be straight to Bozhou City!
Finally on the avenue, Xiao Yi is also a lot more relieved, this road is so muddy, but, after a day of sun, the soil is much harder, but it is also very easy to walk! Xiao Yi walked very fast, he thought in his heart, he came all the way, although he went farther, but it was still very easy to walk, if Tong Lu and they walked slowly, maybe they would have to arrive first! Just thinking about it, I saw a light in front of me in the distance, stretching far away, if I guessed well, it should be that Bozhou City!
Xiao Yi had already heard that Bozhou City was not big, but it was able to pass everywhere, and it was the central place! There were many people coming and going, so it was also very lively! Of course, it can also be regarded as an important town outside the south gate of the capital, so in the north of the city, there are also a lot of troops, if the capital is in trouble, or if the enemy situation is discovered, you can send troops to block it at the first time! Therefore, although this Bozhou City is small, it is also very important! Xiao Yi also heard the old man of Nahua say that during the Yanhuang period, after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he also set the capital here, and it was the same when he became a soup to destroy the summer! In this way, it is also a thousand-year-old capital! By the moonlight, he can barely see the outline of this side, majestic and majestic, but with a little vicissitudes, the cold breeze blowing, and Xiao Yi also vaguely felt the taste of the ancient city it exudes!
Xiao Yi quickened his pace, and it didn't take long for him to arrive outside the city! He slowly stopped, and stopped to watch! There seemed to be people outside the city, and one of them seemed to have come to his side! Xiao Yi fixed his eyes on it, heh, isn't it, and the person himself recognizes it, and when he sees his figure, he can guess who it is! That's right, the person who came is Tong Lu, but it is Tong Lu, he is in a hurry, and he also recognizes Xiao Yi, so he hurried! Before he reached Xiao Yi's side, he called out.
"Ouch, Brother Xiaoyi, I'm waiting for you!"
Tong Lu's face was already stiff, it should have been frozen, although this place is not as cold as the black soil, but there is still a lot of snow around, and the light wind blows, it is still a little cold!
Xiao Yi asked him with a smile,
"Lu Lu, what's the matter, you've been waiting for me here?!"
Xiao Yi thought again, hey, no, how could he be here, couldn't something happen, so he asked again,
"What's the matter, tell me quickly!"
Tong Lu rushed to Xiao Yi's side, gasped a few times, and then said,
"Brother Xiaoyi, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good!"
Xiao Yi grabbed his arm and said,
"What's wrong, you should tell me quickly! Where did Old Man Hua and Miss Liu go, why didn't they see them!"
After Tong Lu calmed down, he slowly came back,
"They're fine, but, little girls, it's just, it's ......."
Xiao Yi hurriedly asked,
"What's wrong with them?"
Tong Lu rubbed his face before replying,
"They, they're all gone, they're all gone!"
Xiao Yi was shocked, it took so much effort to send them over, how could they be gone!
Xiao Yi said again,
"You're going to finish it all at once!"
Tong Lu took a deep breath before replying to him,
"When we came, the girls were no longer there, and I heard from the guys at the inn that they hadn't seen the girls go out, and the girls disappeared like this! You know, it's the biggest inn in Bozhou City, and they have specially instructed them not to let the girls go out! We have inquired in many ways, but there is no result! Miss Liu and Old Man Hua have gone to report to the official, and I'm waiting for you here!"
Xiao Yi said again,
"How can it be so strange that it disappeared for no reason!"
Tong Lu couldn't help but nod and replied,
"Isn't it! We've done a lot of research, and one guy said he had seen a man who seemed to look a lot like the Lu Mai we had met before! I really can't imagine anyone else who could do evil here!"
Xiao Yidao,
"If it's him, the girls should be fine for the time being!"
Just as he was talking about this, Xiao Yi saw Miss Liu and Old Man Hua trotting over to this side together, Xiao Yi pulled Tong Lu over, and the four of them converged again!
Xiao Yi asked,
"What's the matter, what does the government say?!"
Miss Liu replied,
"They are suspicious, but this matter is very important, and they don't dare to slack off, so the official master met us in person!
Xiao Yi asked her,
"What about the girls?"
Miss Liu replied,
"I was about to talk about this, well, just now I talked to the official master, and they said that they could only try their best to help, after all, this Bozhou city is a transportation hub, there are a lot of merchants, and there are countless carriages and horses, but it is not easy! I think, since they have said so, most of them can only rely on ourselves!"
Xiao Yi nodded and replied,
"Understand, they also have their own difficulties!"
Miss Liu said again,
"Brother Xiaoyi, the official is good, and he has prepared a carriage for us!
Xiao Yi thought about it and said,
"Let's go to Tokyo City, I think the destination of Naromai will probably be there!"
Tong Lu said slowly,
"It's late today, why don't you go to the inn for a night's rest first, and then go tomorrow?!"
Miss Liu said,
"Since there is a carriage, let's hurry overnight, then Lu Mai and his sisters should not be able to walk fast, maybe we will be able to catch up with them soon!"
Tong Lu has no strength to say,
"I'm tired and begging, hey, you have to have energy, then let's go, anyway, I'm lying in the car and sleeping a lot!"
Old man Hua grabbed the words,
"I'll drive, I'll drive!"
Xiao Yi shook his head back to him,
"Old man Hua, these days, you have suffered too many crimes, I think it is better to stay here! Besides, then Lu Mai may not have left yet, I think, it is good to stay in Bozhou City!"
Old man Hua replied,
"How can this, how can this work, I, I ......"
Xiao Yi interrupted him,
"Old man Hua, you are more familiar with the surrounding environment, and it will definitely be more useful than us to stay!
Miss Liu also said,
"Old man Hua, Brother Xiaoyi is right, you are really needed here! If you stay, it will definitely be of great use, maybe, we all have to rely on you!"
Old man Hua was a little disappointed, but finally nodded his head and said,
"Okay, okay, I'll stay, I'll stay!"
Xiao Yi took out all the money on his body, stuffed it into the hands of Old Man Hua, and said,
"Take this money, just stay in the inn where the girls lived before, and we can find you!"
Tong Lu also said,
"That's right, that's right, don't save money, money is such a thing, it will come again when it's spent!"
Old man Hua bit his lip and replied,
"Okay, okay, I've made a note of it, then, then you guys be careful all the way, be careful!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help nodding and replied,
"Don't worry, Mr. Hua, we will definitely be able to get the girls back!"
Old man Hua lowered his head with a heavy focus, and several people turned around and walked towards the city together, where a carriage had really been prepared, it seems that what this official said is true!
The four of them came to the car, the three of them got into the carriage, and after saying a brief goodbye to Old Man Hua, Xiao Yi pulled the horse rope, and the carriage started and walked away slowly! Old Man Hua stayed there far away, the carriage had long since disappeared, and the others were standing like that, like an orphan left behind! Hey, too, since the plague ten years ago, no one wanted to be with him, and when he was in prison, no one was willing to take care of him! In the past few days, he and Xiao Yi and others can be regarded as getting along day and night, and have already established a deep friendship, Xiao Yi and the others have never disliked him, but they have turned to him everywhere, and his life seems to have suddenly become meaningful! But how long has it been, Xiao Yi and the others are going to leave him alone, and it is difficult for him to accept it! Hey, there is no way, there are still many things to do now, and this is the only way!
The lantern is very dim and can't shine too far, so Xiao Yi's car is not very fast! The official master is also very caring, and he actually put a few bedding in the car! As soon as Tong Lu got into the carriage, he almost didn't cry when he saw this situation, yes, he could still think of this, it was really not easy! Tong Lu got into the quilt and fell asleep! Miss Liu sat in front of the car with Xiao Yi, looking at the silver gray in front of him, although there was some moonlight, he still couldn't see anything clearly!
When the car was driving, it was also with a little breeze, blowing on the face, and it hurt and hurt, Xiao Yi glanced at Miss Liu and said softly,
"Let's go in and rest, I can do it alone!"
Miss Liu replied,
"It's okay Brother Xiaoyi! We are here today, it's not difficult! It's you, just arrived at the city, and then came all the way over, it's really hard! If you want to say rest, it's better to go Brother Xiaoyi!"
Xiao Yi asked her with a smile,
"Do you know how to drive?!"
Miss Liu was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and replied,
"No, no, but Brother Yi can teach me!"
Xiao Yi replied to her,
"Hehe, how can I rest assured, in this way, after dawn, I will replace you!"
Miss Liu thought about it and replied,
"Well, that's fine, that's fine!"
Xiao Yi looked at the moon above his head, sighed lightly, and said,
"Being illuminated by this moonlight, I feel even colder!"
Miss Liu also raised her head and looked, and after a long time, she replied,
"Yes, it's so cold! I remember that at home in Guangzhou, I often sat on the roof with my brother to watch the moon! The moon in Guangzhou City is so big and beautiful, there is no snow there, and the moonlight sprinkles on my body, and I will feel warm! My brother will tell me a lot of stories, and I will feel happy when I hear them, so we will forget the time, and when we remember, ouch, won't it be dawn again! Hehe, that kind of day is so good, so good, but unfortunately, it is gone forever!"
Xiao Yi smiled and replied to her,
"After walking through many places, I found that Yue'er was the most beautiful in my hometown, and it was also, otherwise how could there be so many people, when I thought of Yue'er, I remembered my hometown!"
Miss Liu giggled,
"Yes, yes, with this month, I don't feel lonely!"
As he was talking, the carriage hit a big rock, and the whole bounced up, Xiao Yi and the others didn't think anything about it, but they threw Tong Lu in the car away, hit the top of his head, and knocked him awake!
"Brother Xiaoyi, what kind of car are you driving, but you can make me miserable!"
As soon as these words fell, the ground became even more uneven, and the carriage shook even more!
Xiao Yi smiled back at him,
"The road was quite easy to walk just now, but now this way, if you can still sleep, then I really obey you!"
Sure enough, it's very difficult to walk, of course, thanks to the rain and snow for days in the past few days! As Xiao Yi said, if you can still fall asleep in such a situation, it's really amazing!
Tong Lu stretched out his head to look at it, then retracted it again, so that it was not painful, and complained,
"What the hell, annoying people!"
Miss Liu comforted him and said,
"Brother Lu Lu, after this paragraph, it will definitely get better, you, just bear with it again!"
Tong Lu suddenly thought of something, poked his head out again, and said,
"Ouch, why did you forget about this! Brother Xiaoyi, you have been around today, have you found anything?"
Xiao Yi replied to him,
"I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I haven't been able to speak! Well, that's right, I did follow the past and found the other party's gathering place, but the right place has been burned by them and turned into a ruin, and as for the people, they have long since disappeared! If my guess is right, they stay in the black soil for a long time, and they want to use this black soil to grow poisonous flowers and poisonous plants, and then use flowers and plants to raise that insect and become a big killer!"
Xiao Yi briefly introduced what they had seen and heard today, and after hearing this, the two of them also fell silent! The black land is indeed a good place, and few people will go there on weekdays, so that they can implement their plans more unscrupulously! Where did they go after that, did they go outside Bozhou City, find a place to live, or continue to rush to other places?!
Miss Liu thought about it for a long time, and then said,
"Brother Xiaoyi, Brother Lu Lu, I always feel that these people are going to Tokyo City just like us!"
Xiao Yi agreed with her and replied,
"Yes, I also thought about it, those few people are the right-hand men of the poison god, they must have some special purpose when they gather in the black earth, although there are some accidents on the way, but their goal will not change, and most likely, it will go straight to Tokyo City!
Miss Liu also said,
"Yes, I'm also thinking, maybe someone is planning to subvert the imperial power, and the minions of these poison gods are a large group of brothers!"
Xiao Yi let out a long breath and said,
"We've come all the way, and we're already familiar with this poison god, and his ambition has long been revealed, and I don't feel any surprise about this!"
Tong Ludao,
"Hehe, Tokyo City, there will be a good show to watch! Sleep, sleep!"
The carriage stabilized again, Tong Lu put his head back again, wrapped in the quilt, of course, this time pay attention to protect his head, I don't think I will touch my head again! Look at the moon again, and change the position again, Miss Liu's judgment of this direction is extraordinarily accurate, it seems that it is really as she said, she has often seen this month since she was a child, although it is slightly different from her hometown, but it will not be far behind! So, there should be no need to worry about going the wrong way!
Xiao Yi asked Miss Liu softly,
"Sister Lian'er, after going through so much, have you ever been scared?!"
Miss Liu replied to him,
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, after all, I'm just a woman! However, I also know that fear can't overcome difficulties, so no matter when, you must firmly believe that you can do it! I have been resisting and never stopped!"
Yes, this woman was brought to this place from the city of Guangzhou, and she never lost hope, which not everyone can do!
Xiao Yi asked again,
"Sister Lian'er, you are very unusual, just like the blood flowing in your body!Well, we have been together for so long, and I wonder if you are still wary of us?!"
Miss Liu asked,
"Brother Xiaoyi, I, I have nothing to hide from you!"
Xiao Yi smiled back to her,
"Then you can tell me what to do next when you go to Tokyo City?!"
When Miss Liu heard this, she also fell silent, she said more than once that she was going to Tokyo City, sometimes she mentioned it in passing, and she didn't think about it, but more often she deliberately said it, and the purpose was very obvious! Therefore, Xiao Yi had already thought about it, and her purpose was probably more than that!
Xiao Yi saw that she didn't answer, so he continued,
"Sister Lian'er, I'm just mentioning it, it doesn't mean much! I know you want to go to Tokyo City, that's all, don't take this to heart!"
Miss Liu nodded slowly and replied,
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiaoyi, I, I ......"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Everyone has unspeakable secrets, I can understand them, I can understand them! However, you have to promise me one thing, and you can't easily put yourself in danger at any time in the future! Also, sometimes if your ideas are good, you still have to listen to the opinions of others, and don't be stubborn, and you will hurt yourself in the end!"
Miss Liu was silent for a long time before she came back.
"I know, Brother Xiaoyi, thank you, thank you!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Don't thank me, don't thank me, I love to be this good old man!"
The two of them laughed together!
The carriage continued to move forward, and I don't know when it will be a head in this long night!
