Shen Yun thought he could hold on. In fact, he grossly overestimated himself. I don't know when, he fell asleep against the cave wall. By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.

Damn, how did I fall asleep!, he was startled. Immediately, I was glad again: fortunately, nothing happened.

He's alive.

In her arms, the sweet girl slept soundly. It's just that the piece of sugar cake in his mouth is missing.

Looking down further, he found it on his left leg.

This is a very useful anti-crying treasure! He picked it up and still put it in his arms.

Spent the night sitting in the cave. The legs were completely gone. He tried to stretch his legs. Immediately, the feeling of numbness and swishing swelled up from the toes.

Ah——, both legs cramped!

His back was tightly pressed against the cave wall, Shen Yun grinned sadly, his eyes and nose shrunk, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

None of them. I'm afraid that the cattle from last night haven't left yet, and they have been alarmed.

Fortunately, after about half an hour, the pain was over. There was only slight discomfort in both legs.

With a long sullen breath, he listened to the movement outside the cave.

Outside, there was a deathly silence.

He sniffed hard again.

The air is cool and there is no smell of fireworks.

Hey, the cattle really left? Didn't they set fire to the village?

Shen Yunhu suspiciously moved to the entrance of the cave with the sweet girl.

The leaves of the weeds are stained with crystal dewdrops. Through the gaps in the blades of grass, he could see a faint mist floating outside. In the mist, the grass on the east side of the well platform is still verdant, and the houses standing in the distance are faintly visible.

There really wasn't any arson!

Shen Yun felt a feeling of the sun rising in the west.

Well, the sun hasn't risen yet today.

Apparently, the cattle are gone. He crawls out of the hole with the sweet girl in his arms.

The whole village seemed to be asleep. Except for the morning breeze blowing gently, there was no movement.

Shen Yun stood on the pile of rocks again, raising his eyes and looking around.

The houses and fields are the same as they were when I first entered the village yesterday evening. However, apart from him and Sweet Girl, there is no other living creature in the whole village.

Brother Zhuzi, Brother Lianzi, Brother Song, Master Chen...... Have they escaped yesterday's slaughter?

Loneliness is like the morning mist around you, enveloping your heart. Shen Yun's nose was sour, and tears flowed down.

Find someone first!

Shen Yun hugged the sweet girl in his arms tightly, and walked towards the thatched hut with teary eyes.

When he saw that a half-thatched hut was still there, his heart was full of joy and hope.

However, when he got closer, his heart sank to the bottom again—it was just a hut. The carts, horses, and the big black in front of the house were gone. To be precise, in the earthen courtyard, he couldn't see any traces of the night they had stayed overnight!

What about the house?

He hugged the people, and rushed into the hut where he was staying first.

It's empty.

What about the people? What about the bedding that spread out most of the room last night?

He walked around the house and found nothing.

Then, he went to the half of the hut next to him. There, they cleaned up last night and set up a makeshift stove that used as a kitchen.

The stone stove is still there. The pots and pans, before going to bed last night, were all taken back to the car by Hong Jingu and them, so they were naturally not there.

Shen Yun's eyes were sharp, and he found a fire fold on the dirt floor next to the stone stove.

It should have been Hong Jingu and they accidentally left it last night.

Holding the fire fold tightly, he couldn't help but cry like rain again.

This fire fold turned out to be the only proof that they had been there last night!

People, gone!,

Now, it's just him and the sweet girl!

Last night, he knew very well in his heart that Hong Jingu must be inescapable. He prayed more than once that everyone else was luckier than Hong Jingu and could escape death like him and Tianniu.

However, he understands that he is an extravagant hope. Last night, it was like an Asura field......

Wiping away tears with the back of one hand, he went to the back of the house to inspect - last night, he was hastily pulled away by a leash, and the quilt was thrown there.

Well, the only surprise: the thin little quilt turned out to be there!

He found another old thing.

Early in the morning, it was a little cool. He wraps the sweet girl in a small quilt.

The sweet girl said "uh-huh", rubbed his shoulder, and fell asleep again.

Things have come to this point, and no amount of sadness will help. Shen Yun packed up his heavy mood and quickly summarized the situation in front of him.

First of all, the adults can't find it. Hong Jingu must have been killed. And they may have been killed, but they may have escaped. What is certain is that from now on, he can only rely on himself, and he will have to take sweet chicks with him.

Last night, Hong Jingu's last look at him, he will never forget it for the rest of his life. In the face of Hong Jingu's final resolute departure, sacrificing herself and saving the two of them, he must also do his best to keep Tianniu, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will send it back to her relatives.

Secondly, all his belongings were: an eighty percent new fire fold, a thin summer cloth quilt, and four oil cakes and half a sugar cake.

The food on his body can be eaten by him and the sweet girl for two days at most.

Finally, and most importantly: where is he going with Sweet Girl next?

The official road back to Zhengjiazhuang was closed on the other side of Shixiu County. Neither of them can go back!

Stay in the village? He didn't know if the animals would come. The village is next to the official road and is a necessary place for refugees. The animals have tasted the sweetness, and if they can come once, they will come a second and a third time...... In the mountains, there is a common sense that wild animals that have bitten people must be hunted as much as possible. Because after the beast tastes human flesh, it will become addicted, and from then on, it will be out of control, and will come down the mountain to bite people at any time.

Therefore, he didn't dare to gamble with his and Tianniu's lives.

Not to mention that he didn't know where Gu Nancheng was and how to get there. Even if he could find Gu Nancheng in the end, how could he find the Chen family's aunt and grandmother without Master Chen and them? Tianniu is too young, maybe she hasn't seen her aunt and grandmother at all, okay? Moreover, she doesn't have any recognizable tokens on her.

It seems that it is not a good choice to continue to move forward.

Shen Yun was extremely depressed.

Standing in the earthen courtyard, he looked around blankly, and couldn't help but say to himself: "If only Master Chen and they were still there, it would be fine." In this case, it is up to the adults to decide where to go.

Thinking of this, my heart felt like a "crackling", and a little light burst out: If Master Chen and the others were still alive, what would they do after escaping the catastrophe?

After thinking about it, he felt that Master Chen and the others were very likely to choose to continue moving forward and go to Gu Nan City.

So, if I also move on, I will most likely find Master Chen and them!

After sorting out these, Shen Yun finally made up his mind: keep going!

Of course, he also understood that the risks of continuing to move forward were also very great: first, he did not have much dry food, which could only last for two days at most, and second, it was very likely that there would also be cattle slaughtered in front of him, and people fleeing as meritorious deeds.

However, sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. It's all dangerous anyway, so what else is he afraid of?

Let's go, keep going!

However, before leaving, he decided to do two things first: first, he took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the official road, so he searched the village to see if he could find something useful, such as food, clothing, etc., and second, he wanted to find a way to warn the people behind him. He had been thinking for a long time last night that he had to spread the word about the evil deeds of the animals!

Just do it!

Shen Yun searched around the village with the sweet girl in his arms.

The village was as clean as if it had been looted. It took him nearly half an hour to search the whole village, and finally he found only a half-man-high bamboo-backed basket, a notched stoneware bowl, and a cowhide bladder.

Well, if you look carefully in the messy rice fields, you should still be able to pick up a little scattered rice. However, Shen Yun gave up. First, he had to travel and did not have so much time to pick up rice, and second, he had to dry the rice first, and then he had to take off the husks before he could eat it. He didn't have tools. With the time to peel the rice by hand, he might as well go to the mountains to catch a rabbit and burn it to eat.

He was very satisfied with the three things he picked up: the bamboo basket was large enough to not only be used to carry sweet girls, but also to hold small quilts and other objects. In this way, his hands are completely empty, the cowhide water bladder solves the problem of drinking water for him and the sweet girl along the way, and the stoneware bowl can be used as a bowl and a pot for cooking, which is simply a must-have for going out.

Before leaving the village, Shen Yun picked up a charred wooden stick and painted a picture on the exterior wall of a blue-brick house near the official road: a man takes a knife to cut another man. Among them, the one with the knife wore a helmet and armor. There was also a man's head hanging from his waist.

Then, he wrote another line of words next to it: Immortal soldiers kill.

Well, he couldn't write the word "Fu", so he had to leave a space.

As for the two men in the painting, he learned from the diagram on the "King Kong Fist". In order to better distinguish the two, he deliberately drew the fairy rune soldiers larger, and the men representing refugees were drawn thinner.

There are paintings and words, and even if most people are illiterate, they can understand the meaning of the paintings.

After doing this, the sun came out. The mist lifted. The village was bathed in golden morning light, quiet and serene, as if last night's bloody sin was just a nightmare of Shen Yun.

Looking at the rough pictures on the wall, Shen Yun let out a long breath of turbidity, and said in his heart: Tonight, and even in the future, the animals will not succeed again in at least this area! Their crimes will definitely be taken away by the fleeing people and spread far away!

He could imagine that after knowing the truth, everyone would curse this group of demons to go to the eighteen layers of hell and never turn over.

Just thinking about such a scene makes people feel happy!

Suddenly, Shen Yun discovered that even if he didn't learn martial arts, literacy was very useful. Sometimes, the lethality of words doesn't give the sword a sword at all.

Without stopping any longer, he threw away the wooden stick, picked up the bamboo basket on his back, and continued along the official road.

Going around and around, now, his situation seems to have returned to the beginning of escaping from Niutouao Village.

However, he knew best in his heart that there were many things that were different. Among them, the biggest difference is that he is no longer the mountain baby Shen Qiubao who doesn't know anything and has to rely on his eldest sister for everything.

Now, he not only has the confidence and determination to meet the difficulties on the road ahead, take care of himself, but also take care of Tianniu.

Thinking of the sweet girl, he couldn't help but glance back, and a tenderness appeared on his resolute little face: The little girl is really well-behaved.

The sweet girl may have been too noisy last night, very tired, and has been sleeping heavily.
