On the edge of the gate of Xingzhou City.

It's May, the sun is quite good, and the city is deep in spring.

The warm breeze was mixed with the mellow aroma of wine wafting from nowhere, blowing across people's faces, and even carrying people's bodies were contaminated with this slightly drunken breath.

The woman in red was looking at the high city wall, her face beaming with joy.

The woman had a beautiful face and a beautiful color, but she was dressed in a strange way, with a red dress and a red dress, but she wore a black girdle, and a string of silver bells hung from her waist, which shone in the good sun, and brightened the eyes of the blind.

In a word, piercing, piercing.

Behind her stood a man in black, silent, expressionless, looking coldly at the city gate, but ...... There is also a white and clean little doll on the back.

It's also a sentence, it's against harmony, it's very violated.

The little doll has a fair face, a handsome appearance, and looks very clever at a young age, and a pair of big eyes are also looking at the city gate in front of her.

In a word, pleased, pleasing very much.

After looking at it for a while, Yunluo felt that her abdomen was a little empty, she tilted her head and thought for a while, and shouted crisply, "Ah Fei?"

Yun Fei lowered his head and replied in a deep voice, "Hmm." ”

"Haven't we had a good meal for a long time?" Yunluo frowned and counted with his fingers, "How many days have we traveled all the way south?"

"Three days," Yun Fei replied.

"Three days, it's really been a while", Yunluo put down his hand and sighed, "We haven't seen anyone along the way, and naturally we don't have food, and if we continue like this, we will starve to death." ”

"Mother, will we starve to death?", the soft and glutinous voice came from behind Yun Fei, the white little head poked out, the hair was shaved clean, leaving only a bush of bangs in front of the forehead, although he was young, he looked very good, his lips were red and his teeth were white, handsome and pleasant, but his face was extremely white, showing a little sickly, and he was looking at Yunluo with a pair of big black and white eyes at this moment.

"In vain, come down quickly when you wake up, don't always let your Uncle Yunfei carry it. ”

"Oh. ”

He pouted in vain, although he was a little reluctant, and he climbed down after a long time.

Yunluo took his hand, pointed to the words hanging high above the city gate, and asked, "Baibai, do you know what those words are?"

looked at those words in vain, then looked at his mother, and rolled his eyes widely, "Xingzhou City." ”

Every time I saw some words on the road, Yunluo had to look at it in vain. Yunluo feels that a man must cultivate both inside and outside, so that he can marry a daughter-in-law in the future and make a difference, he was born so handsome at a young age, and he has a solid foundation, so he naturally does not worry that the president will be crooked, but he also needs to refine it inside, otherwise it is a pity to have this good appearance.

"Oh, Baibai is really getting smarter and smarter", Yun Luo stared at her son happily, her hard work paid off, her years of hard cultivation have finally revealed some results.

"Mother, will we starve to death?" Bai Bai felt that his mother's ears must not be very good, so he ignored her gaze and mustered up the courage to ask again.

"How is this possible?" Yunluo laughed, still pointing to those words, as if they were engraved in gold, "You see there must be many people here, and our opportunity to make money has come." ”

"But mother, do you think they will need ...... Can we help?"

"How could it not" Yunluo led Bai Bai and walked inside without hesitation, the bell hanging on his waist made a crisp sound, "Mother promises you, it won't be long before we can have a big meal in the best restaurant in the city." ”

In vain, he silently followed behind the clouds and touched his stomach.

He naturally hoped that what his mother said was true.

Xingzhou City is located at the border stop, is an important stop for border trade and trade, although the city is small, come and go, there are a lot of people in and out, among them there are many strangers who dress strangely and behave strangely, the guards have long been commonplace, and it is not strange to see it.

When Yunluo entered the city, he was worried that those guards would stop him and ask for something, but he didn't expect to lead him into the city smoothly in vain.

The city is really bustling.

Not far away, there is an old man selling rouge gouache, and there are many women in front of the stall, which seems to be doing a good business.

There was an unkempt beggar with no legs lying on the side of the road, and in front of him there was already half a bowl of copper coins in the broken bowl.

Sure enough, it is a rich place, even the beggar is different from ordinary beggars, the beggar lies there like an uncle, snorts a little, and a lot of money falls into his bowl, such a ability makes Yunluo envious.

There was a one-armed merchant sitting in the carriage next to him, and he was leaning down to talk to a hawker, Yunluo walked forward, wanting to hear what they were talking about, and ask for directions by the way.

It's just that before he took a step, the peddler suddenly turned his head and met Yunluo's gaze, which frightened Yunluo and forcibly retracted the half-cut foot that was stretched out.

What does this peddler look like...... It's quite terrifying, half of his face seems to be burned, the skin and flesh are rolling, and there are shocking scars.

Gaffe, she has never seen anything like before, is it a person or a person, a ghost is not a ghost, what is she afraid of soaking in the water floating on the ground in the sky?

Merely...... It's not what it used to be, it's hateful. So Yunluo thought that it was better to go shopping by himself for a while.

Yunluo wandered slowly on the street, and he was walking well, but somehow, he always felt that many eyes were cast on them.

Yunluo raised his head and swept around. The people on the street are doing what they are supposed to do.

Yunluo lowered his head, and felt many eyes cast at them.

Yunluo raised his head again and glanced around, everyone was still doing their own thing.

"Strange, could it be that you haven't had a good rest lately?" Yunluo wondered.

Shaking his head, Yunluo lowered his head again and concentrated on his own path.

But this time, as soon as Yunluo's head was lowered, he immediately raised it, and collided with the eyes of those people.

Good fellow, almost all the women on the street were looking at her.

Yunluo subconsciously looked around - Bai Bai was still there, Ah Fei was still behind him, and he didn't get into any trouble or lose face along the way......

So what do they do to look at us like that?

Yunluo was puzzled by this, and the women over there saw that they had been discovered, and they no longer hid it, just looked at them directly.

Some are bold and passionate, some are shy and timid, and some are still talking......

These eyes all have a deep meaning, and they all fall in the same place.

Yunluo looked over and understood a little in his heart.

It wasn't her who was looking, it was Yun Fei behind her.

Although Yun Fei was a little paralyzed, he looked lifeless at a glance, but he looked good, his eyes were sparse, he was as bright as the morning star, and the black light robe embroidered with dark red trim on his body also showed a little concise and solemn.

From Shenjing City in the east to Xudu City in the west, it is indeed rare for a teenager with such a good appearance to have such a good appearance, and it is no wonder that those young girls and women are in such a form.

Along the way, relying on Yun Fei's good appearance, Yunluo also stained a lot of light.

This situation, Yun Luo felt very familiar, if nothing else, as long as Yun Fei took a step forward now, there would definitely be many people rushing up.

Yunluo turned his head and ordered categorically, "Ah Fei, you now, don't move!"

Yun Fei nodded slightly.

It's a pity that Yunluo's wishful thinking is still wrong.

She originally wanted to let Yun Fei and Bai Bai stay where they were and go to ask for directions by themselves, but they just ......

She had only left Yunfei a little bit before a large group of women swarmed over and squeezed Yunluo out of the distance.

The jewels worn by the young women and the bells on Yunluo's body all made a "jingling" sound, and they were very noisy. By the time the bell on Yunluo's waist stopped ringing, he had already been squeezed out dozens of meters away.

Yunluo is not tall, and there is no way to see what is going on inside through the layers of human walls, so he can only see Yun Fei, who is a cut above the crowd, staring at the women who keep pushing and shoving expressionlessly.

"Go away a little!"

"Why, this son is not yours, so you let me go!"

"What do you say, such a handsome son, of course it's mine!"

......

It seems that those women want to get close to Yun Fei, so they keep pushing away the people around them, and they are still courteous, since you pushed me out, then I will definitely push you out.

The scene was intense, and Yunluo was helpless.

However, in this way, although Yun Fei was surrounded in the middle, there were few people around him who really came close.

Yunluo was having a headache about how to rescue Yun Fei and Baibai, and suddenly a few sharp whistles came from nowhere, startling a large number of black birds, flying overhead with a clatter, Yunluo squinted and looked carefully, it was a crow.

Well, how could such a bird appear in such a prosperous and lively city?

Yunluo stared at the flock of crows in the distance, frowning invisibly.

With the whistle, it was not only the group of crows that left, but also all the women surrounding Yun Fei.

The people on the street seemed to have made an appointment, and quickly dispersed and disappeared in less than half a stick of incense, and the foreign merchants who came on horseback and chariot also hurried out of the city.

For a moment, the bustling streets were deserted as if no one had ever existed, leaving only Yunluo and his group.

"Ah Fei, do you feel that something is not quite right in this place?" Yun Luo held his chin, pondered for a moment, and turned to look at Yun Fei behind him.

"Yes", Yun Fei raised his unwavering eyes in the direction where the group of crows had left, with a solemn expression.

"What do you think is wrong?" Yunluo said in a deep voice.

"There is no young man in this city except me. ”

"You can see it too", Yunluo walked to the front of a stall and picked up the rouge gouache on the stall, "As soon as we came in, we didn't see any young men, most of the streets were young ladies, women or old women, and even if there were men, they were some old men, and those merchants who came from outside the city, and those merchants were either ugly or disabled. In such a prosperous city, there are no normal young men, which makes no sense, but except for the guards, there are indeed no normal young men here. ”

"More than that. ”

"And these strange whistles, after the whistle, everyone quickly left, if I am not mistaken, the people in the city must have hid back in their quarters, and the people outside the city hurried back, they were afraid of this whistle. ”

"More than that. ”

"And this crow, this kind of bird we are most familiar with, they live in cold and damp places all year round, and usually do not appear in crowded places, but we have just clearly seen a large flock flying by, which is really incredible. ”

"More than that. ”

"Is there anything else I haven't noticed?" Yunluo's face was full of doubts, and he went through all the doubts in his heart, thinking that he should have noticed them all.

Yun Fei was silent, stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky.

Only then did the clouds fall and see that the twilight was gloomy and depressed, and the sun had long since disappeared, and it was almost dark.

As soon as the day gets dark and the night comes, the evil spirits and filth will come out to haunt them.

"Ah Fei, you mean, this strangeness has something to do with 'it'?"

Yun Fei nodded.
