The town of Qinghe loomed in the setting sun, the twilight wind blew up the fallen leaves in the sky, and the houses at the end of the eye were dilapidated.

Ye Qingfeng's heart gradually became quieter, and for a while he had a feeling of homesickness.

There was no noise ahead, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and an old woman or old man could only be seen from a long distance.

The place is desolate, as if it had been uninhabited for many years.

Under the autumn wind and sun, Qinghe Town is no longer what it used to be.

"Why is this happening?"

Looking at everything in front of him, Ye Qingfeng muttered, with an indescribable heaviness in his heart.

The inn and teahouse have been abandoned for a long time, the ground is dilapidated, and there are occasional traces of blood.

The wine flag fluttered, broken in a large chunk, covered with dust, as if it had been hanging here, and no one had taken it back into the house.

Qinghe Town is now lifeless.

Noticing Ye Qingfeng's face, Ling Shuangyue's heart tightened, she grabbed his arm, and said softly, "Maybe it's all at home." ”

Ye Qingfeng nodded and strode towards Brother Qin's house.

Bypassing the two streets, the decay is everywhere, the dark alleys are moss-stained and green, and the cracks are overgrown with weeds.

Before he could get closer, he saw a familiar figure.

Brother Qin lost a lot of weight, topless, and was pushing a cart of firewood in the direction of home.

His body was not as full as it was last year, it seemed that his muscles had dried up a lot, his whole body had changed a lot, and even his hair was a little gray. His back was covered in scars, and the scars that had healed looked terrifying.

"Brother Qin!"

Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but shout, and then strode forward.

The thin figure in front of him trembled suddenly, and as soon as his hand was released, a cart of wood and firewood slid down.

His body stiffened, he turned his head with difficulty, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Qingfeng incredulously.

The air froze for several breaths before he finally said in a trembling voice: "Qingfeng, brother Qingfeng, you... You... You're back, you're finally back!"

Brother Qin's eyes were red, and he hugged Ye Qingfeng firmly, his body trembled, he took a few steps back to look at Ye Qingfeng, and muttered: "Okay, good brother, you are back, you are back alive, we are all looking forward to your news, you are simply the hero of our Qinghe Town, the hero of Datang." ”

Seeing that Brother Qin was so excited that he was incoherent, Ye Qingfeng also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, he had been away from home for more than a year, and the villagers were still thinking about him.

It's just that Ye Qingfeng had too many doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qin, how did Qinghe Town become like this, why is it so depressed, what about those people?"

Brother Qin was stunned, then patted Ye Qingfeng's shoulder, sighed, and said, "The world is like this, how can there be a reason for immortals." ”

This sentence made Ye Qingfeng suddenly fall into the abyss, and he exclaimed: "Are they all dead? Qinghe Town is on the edge of Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Tiance Mansion is in Chang'an, how can it be so miserable here. ”

Brother Qin smiled, laughing very much, he said slowly: "Tiance Mansion is not the Tiance Mansion in Qinghe Town, nor is it the Tiance Mansion in Chang'an, it is the Tiance Mansion of the entire Tang Dynasty. ”

"After you left, Tiance Mansion also sent people to help all parts of the world, eliminate demons and catch ghosts, Qinghe Town made several demons, and many people died. ”

"For more than a year, we have also formed a temporary team to fight, so I left this scar all over my body, but we are all ordinary people, where can we defeat those monsters, and more and more people are dying. ”

"Slowly, people's hearts scattered, and this place gradually became like this. ”

Brother Qin looked at Ye Qingfeng and said softly: "Qingfeng, the people of Qinghe Town, there are less than forty percent of last year's left. ”

"No... No, it's... The monsters around this area were almost killed that night!"

Ye Qingfeng's face flushed, and he grabbed Brother Qin's shoulder and said loudly: "Could it be that a large number of monsters appeared later? What about Chang'an?

Brother Qin said: "If it weren't for the army, Qinghe Town would have been gone half a year ago, and once there were too many demon beasts, and General Cheng personally came to kill them." He said that you are working hard outside, he can't let you lose your home, but unfortunately, Chang'an City is not very good, the situation is very serious, and General Cheng can't protect it. ”

Ye Qingfeng's brain was buzzing, and he felt that the sky was spinning, and he could hardly stand on his body.

Ling Shuangyue hurriedly helped him and whispered, "Brother Qin, are there still monsters in Qinghe Town now?"

"No more. ”

Brother Qin said with a smile: "Just a few days ago, a righteous man named Liuhuo came and killed all the monsters and ghosts, but everyone was used to hiding and didn't dare to come out." ”

"Flowing Fire..."

Ye Qingfeng rubbed his head and looked around, only to see that the fence was crumbling, the houses were half-tilted, and everything seemed to have grown old in the blood-colored remnant sun, leaving behind mottled traces and sparse lives.

It's quiet, it's like death.

The world is changing, these four words are so easy to pronounce, but the things behind them are so heavy.

Qinghe Town is not an exception, it is just one of the countless disasters in the world, some are even worse than Qinghe Town, and even become a dead village and a dead town.

I have usually imagined this situation, this kind of scene, but when you really experience it, you find that this kind of pain is unbearable.

And the world is like this, not Qinghe's ear.

Ye Qingfeng clenched his fists, raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Qin, the demon change in the world is over, and the days will be better in the future." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Brother Qin laughed out loud and said, "Qingfeng, with your words, I am relieved." Your brother Qin believes you, if you are uneasy in this world, you will not come back. ”

His smile was not free, Ye Qingfeng could see that these injuries had pierced deeply, and it would take time for Brother Qin to come out.

Ye Qingfeng didn't want him to think about this, so he said: "Hurry up, hurry up and take a look at your house, I haven't seen my little nephew for a long time, this kid is also three years old this year, didn't you let him practice martial arts with me? ”

He pulled the stiff Brother Qin towards the house, Brother Qin pushed open the door and said slowly, "That kid... It's inside, you can go in and see. ”

"Huh?"

Ye Qingfeng was slightly stunned and slowly pushed the door open.

The old door creaked, and the candles in the room were dimly lit, white candles.

After the white candle, there is the spirit card.

Ling Shuangyue covered her mouth, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Ye Qingfeng's eyes widened, his lips trembled, he felt that his throat was dry, and even his heart was twitching.

He turned his head and looked at Brother Qin in disbelief.

Brother Qin lowered his head and choked up: "I've been dead for almost two months, and my life has been desperate, but I still haven't saved it." ”

Ye Qingfeng felt that his body was trembling, his fists were clenched, and there was a huge pain in his heart, and suddenly it sounded that Brother Qin had always shouted in his ear before, wanting his son to follow him to learn martial arts.

He had given the child infinite hope, and now he had no hope.

Ye Qingfeng was about to collapse, his voice was extremely hoarse, and he trembled with crying: "Brother Qin, I'm sorry, it's Qingfeng who is not there......"

"It's all in the past. ”

Brother Qin raised his head, wiped his tears, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and said, "We have all heard about you, General Cheng said it, Chang'an is also spreading, the whole world is spreading, you have been working hard, you are working hard for the world." ”

"Every time I hear your news, everyone is very excited, very proud, our Qinghe Town is not all bad seeds, at least one hero, I think... I think..."

Speaking of this, Brother Qin couldn't cry anymore: "I think Uncle Ye has a spirit in the sky, and he can see these things, and he is also proud of you." ”

"What's the use! What the is it!"

Ye Qingfeng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said loudly: "I still can't save Qinghe Town, or let the villagers suffer, if I were useful, I would have slaughtered Chiyou a long time ago, and the demon change in the world should have ended a long time ago!"

"Aomine ......"

Ling Shuangyue hurriedly grabbed him, but she didn't know how to comfort him, she knew that no matter how she comforted at the moment, she was pale and powerless, she could only hold Ye Qingfeng's hand tightly and never let go for a moment.

Brother Qin also pressed Ye Qingfeng's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qingfeng, you are a hero! Brother Qin is also proud of you! The previous things have passed, and we will be better in the future." ”

He took a deep breath, he didn't know how much he had digested, gritted his teeth and smiled: "Go, go and see your sister-in-law, the child is gone, she is very sick, and she still needs you, a capable person, to help!"

"I'll come. ”

Ling Shuangyue hurriedly pulled Ye Qingfeng into another room.

The sister-in-law of the Qin family is not beautiful, but she is beautiful, and her face is pale at the moment, sleeping on the bed, looking extremely weak.

Ling Shuangyue poured several Buddha powers into her and slowly nourished her body.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I am overtired, long-term malnutrition, bad mood, and grief is coming, so my body can't hold on. I gave her the power of Buddha, recuperated a little, and then recuperated for another month or two, and she was able to recover her health. ”

Ling Shuangyue's tone was light and slow, for fear of disturbing the peace of the Qin family's sister-in-law.

Brother Qin hugged his fists and said, "Thank you brother and sister, Brother Qingfeng is really blessed to find a wife like you." ”

Ling Shuangyue's face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, and it was not easy to refute at this moment.

"By the way, I'm going to call the villagers out, the demon change in the world is over, this kind of good news must be told to them, Qinghe Town needs good news too much now. ”

Ye Qingfeng couldn't stop it, and Brother Qin ran out of the house with gongs and drums, knocking all the way.

"Aomine is back, and the youkai have been killed. ”

"Everyone is out, Aomine is back, and the disaster is over. ”

He shouted and ran, beating the gongs and drums with all his strength.

He seemed to be venting something, and he needed to vent it so badly.

Soon, the people of Qinghe Town came out one after another and cautiously, and when they saw Ye Qingfeng, they were immediately surprised.

In a sense, Ye Qingfeng is the confidence of the people of Qinghe Town, and these three words seem to be able to give them courage.

"Aomine is back, hey, really, it's really Aomine's back. ”

"Qingfeng, you are back, your Aunt Wu almost died in the hands of the monster!"

"Are the monsters really gone, and there won't be any more?"

"Unfortunately, my wife and my son are dead. ”

There was a voice around him, which reached Ye Qingfeng's mind, and he stood in place, watching familiar figures appear, as if he had been parting with them for thousands of years.
