"This village looks not small, and it is built on the bank of the Yunhe River, so it should be regarded as an outstanding person. But there is no sign of life, which is really weird. If it's a natural disaster, there's nothing we can do. If it's a man-made disaster, we can't say we have to take care of it. Let's take a look at it separately, and maybe we'll get something out of it. Jiu'er said.

Shen Qi nodded, looked at the layout of the village, and then said, "You check along the riverside, and I'll go to the back to have a look." ”

Jiu'er smiled slightly and said, "Okay." Whatever we can find out, we'll meet here in a quarter of an hour. ”

Shen Qi nodded, and the two looked at each other before moving separately.

Shen Qi walked towards the back of the village, and as he walked slowly, his expression had already changed slightly.

It's really strange! Although the village is a country dirt road, it is also carefully paved with gravel. The layout of the houses on both sides of the path is very particular, most of them are sitting north and facing south, and the few houses facing east and west are basically not inhabited. The door frame of each house is pasted with festive couplets, and you can see that the people who live here are enthusiastic and yearning for life......

All of this shows that the life of this village is too strong, and it should be a lively village with smoke curling and chickens and dogs barking!

Choosing a courtyard and walking in, Shen Qi's eyes looked around.

This is a standard courtyard house, the main house sits north and faces south, the house is not large, only three cabins. There are two cottages on the east and west sides. One of the rooms was filled with hoes, ploughs, dustpans, and other farm implements. In the other room, there are various grains such as millet and rice.

Shen Qi approached the main house and took a look.

There was a table of eight immortals directly opposite the door of the main house, and the table was clean and clean, without any items. There is a chair on each side of the table facing the main entrance. The left and right sides are separated by wooden walls and a separate inner room. In the inner room on the left, there are two beds, one large and one small, with two large wooden boxes between the two beds. The wooden box is very old, and you can vaguely see the big red word "Xi" on it. I think this is supposed to be the owner of the house when he got married. The layout of the inner room on the right is similar, there are also two beds, and there is a wooden box between the two beds, but there is no "Xi" on this wooden box.

Retreating from the main house, Shen Qi's expression did not become any better.

Because of the neat layout of this courtyard, Shen Qi didn't see anything wrong, but vaguely felt as if he had left something.

Walking out of this courtyard, Shen Qi thought about it and chose another courtyard and walked in.

This yard is a bit bigger than the previous one.

Two trees were planted in the yard, one was a date tree and the other was also a date tree.

Shen Qi stepped into the room and took a closer look.

After withdrawing, Shen Qi's expression became more and more unnatural.

What's wrong? These two courtyards are obviously normal, but why do you always feel that something is wrong?

Shen Qi didn't believe in evil, and entered several courtyards one after another.

The result is the same as before, it is a normal structure, a normal layout. No matter how you look at it, it's a normal courtyard.

Shen Qi returned to the entrance of the village a little stupidly, this trip could be regarded as nothing for him.

Jiu'er was already waiting there, and when she saw Shen Qi appear, Jiu'er couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Little Shen Qi, go on!"

As he spoke, Jiu'er threw over a linen robe, and Shen Qi took it in his hand, looking a little puzzled.

Jiu'er smiled: "You should change it quickly, otherwise you really want to be a savage?"

Shen Qi's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "Jiu'er, there is no one in the whole village, isn't it stealing if we take it without telling us like this?"

Jiu'er smiled and waved her hand, "I left the silver taels." Don't worry, I won't let you be a thief. ”

Shen Qi smiled at this time, and hurriedly took off the shirt that had become a strip of cloth and replaced it with the linen clothes that Jiu'er gave him.

Although the linen cloth is a little stiff, and the burrs on the body are a little uncomfortable, it is better than the previous "savage" appearance.

Shen Qi gently arranged his shirt and asked, "Have you gained anything?"

Jiu'er shook her head, but her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "How can I say it, the whole village is normal...... No, it should be said that normal excessive. So there's something wrong with it, but it's hard to tell what's wrong. ”

Shen Qi nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, I feel this way too." Whether it is the layout or structure of the house, as well as the furnishings in the house, no matter how you look at it, it is a normal village. But I always felt like I was missing something. ”

"Corrals!" Jiu'er couldn't help but light up, and said, "There is not a single corral in the whole village, so there are no domestic animals here." This is very strange! Not to mention that meat is eaten and ancestors are eaten during the New Year's holidays, but in normal times, no one in this village eats meat?"

"That's right," Shen Qi couldn't help but nod and said, "I didn't see chickens and ducks and other poultry, so don't they even eat eggs?"

Suddenly, Jiu'er's expression changed drastically, and her eyes instantly became a little frightened when she looked at the surrounding villages.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask when he saw Jiu'er's expression change.

"It's so wrong!" Jiu'er's voice trembled a little, and said, "Shen Qi, haven't you noticed, this village is ...... There is no stove in every house!"

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed greatly.

That's right! That's what he didn't feel right!

All the yards he had been to before had no stoves! Not only stoves, but also kitchen utensils such as dishes and chopsticks!

Don't...... People in this village don't eat?

Shen Qi felt an indescribable chill rise from behind him, and he held Jiu'er's little hand tightly, and it was cold in his hand.

"Jiu'er, let's not investigate, let's go quickly! This village is too weird. Shen Qi said in a low voice.

Jiu'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, it's dawn anyway, let's rush to Yunling Ferry as soon as possible." ”

The discussion was settled, and the two continued downstream along the river.

It wasn't until they left the deserted village far away that the two of them gradually looked better.

But neither Shen Qi nor Jiu'er mentioned the previous deserted village again, but chatted about the Taihe Sword Sect and Wuxiang Immortal Gong one by one.

After walking for about half an hour, the two finally saw an open river in the distance.

"That's it. Jiu'er pointed to a place where boats were moored by the river.

Shen Qi looked up and saw about a dozen wooden boats parked on the shore from a distance, and there seemed to be quite a few people on the shore.

After glancing at Jiu'er, Shen Qi naturally took Jiu'er's little hand and walked towards the ferry.

When he got closer, Shen Qi found that there was a large stone not far from the shore that was one person high, and the four big characters "Yunling Ferry" were engraved on the stone.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a captain waved his hand at the two of them and shouted, "Two, do you want to take a boat?"

Shen Qi couldn't help but look at Jiu'er, and Jiu'er said, "Boatman, how long does it take to get to the Tianxia Ferry in Fengtianzhou?"

The captain thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It will take about two hours." The two of you can go now, and you can still catch up for lunch. ”

Jiu'er nodded and whispered to Shen Qi, "Let's go." ”

Shen Qi said "um" and got on the boat with Jiu'er.

The captain smiled and nodded at the two, then turned to the others on the shore and shouted, "Have you ever gone to Tianxiadu?"

Jiu'er thought for a while and said, "Boatman, we have chartered your boat, you can go quickly!"

When the captain heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "That's six hundred dollars, can you two think about it?"

Jiu'er nodded and said, "Let's go." Money is guaranteed to you. ”

The captain smiled and said, "Okay, those two go to rest in the tent, let's go." ”

After speaking, the captain picked up the boat penny on the side, shouted loudly, and then pushed hard.

The boat slowly left the Yunling Ferry.

Jiu'er pulled Shen Qi to the tent, and then let Shen Qi sit down, while she gently leaned on Shen Qi's arms, and then slowly closed her eyes.

Shen Qi blushed and smiled, and gently hugged Jiu'er.

"Don't move, let me sleep a little longer. Jiu'er said softly.

Shen Qi let out an "oh", looked at Jiu'er's pretty face, and slowly closed his eyes.

Not long after, a small tune faintly sounded in my ears, the song was not beautiful, but in the rocking boat, it also had a different flavor.

It may be that Jiu'er's boldness made the captain quite happy, and he sang loudly while shaking the oar.

Shen Qi smiled slightly, and then slowly fell asleep.

It may be that he has been running for many days and has made him a little tired physically and mentally, or it may be that he has been greatly satisfied physically and mentally with a beautiful woman in his arms, and Shen Qi slept soundly and heavily.

On the river, the water is rippling, the sun rises, and the green mountains are getting farther away.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Qi vaguely felt something sweeping over his face, tickling.

Shen Qi slowly turned his face to the other side. It didn't take long for the tickling sensation to come again.

Shen Qi's consciousness gradually became clearer, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he had thought of something, and slowly opened his eyes into a small slit.

What caught her eyes was Jiu'er's pretty face, and at this moment she was gently slicing her love silk across Shen Qi's face.

Shen Qi opened his eyes suddenly, then grinned and said, "Are you awake?"

"Ahh Shen Qi hugged her, and then gently put his head on Jiu'er's shoulder.

"You...... When did you wake up?" asked Jiu'er in a low voice.

"Just now. Shen Qi replied with a smile.

"Oh......"

"Jiu'er. ”

"What...... What's the matter?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to call you. ”

"You're so idle......"

"Hey......

"Ah, don't you ...... Don't move!"

"I didn't move!"

"You also say that you ...... Hmmm......"

For a long time, Jiu'er blushed and turned her head away, not looking at Shen Qi.

Shen Qi smirked.

The morning sun is rising, and everything is recovering.

The warm morning sun shone on Jiu'er's face. Jiu'er's pretty face instantly had a certain strange color, which made Shen Qi's heart flutter.
