Chapter 204: Investigating the situation
It's probably been uninhabited for too long, so it still looks pretty dirty.
Xuanrui didn't want to clean more, so she just swept out a place where they could spend the night.
Shu Yicai collected some dry materials, brought them in, and made a pair of fires.
The sky outside was still relatively bright, so they were not worried about Yue Qingli and Jiang Yinchen who went out.
After cleaning up, the two of them began to take out the dry food they had prepared and roast it.
And Jiang Yinchen and Yue Qingli, who were outside, in addition to looking for water, actually wanted to explore the situation of Mingshuangcheng.
In fact, there are basically no people on the streets of the Twin Cities now, and they don't see anyone on the streets.
However, there are still more wells here, so the two of them still found water quickly.
Since there was no one on the street, the two planned to go straight back. However, when the two walked around the corner, they suddenly heard someone talking.
The sound is a little muffled and not very clear.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw some surprise in each other's eyes.
The cultivation of the two of them is not low, and it stands to reason that although they can't reach the point of being able to follow the wind, they can still hear some whispers very clearly, but the voice in their ears at this time is not even clear to the two of them.
Yue Qingli frowned tightly, while Jiang Yinchen stood still and did not move.
Yue Qingli knew that Jiang Yinchen's ability was actually higher than herself, so although she couldn't hear it clearly, maybe Jiang Yinchen could hear it.
However, she waited for a while, and saw Jiang Yinchen shaking her head, indicating that she couldn't hear clearly.
Since they can't hear clearly, it either proves that the person who is speaking is more capable than the two, or it means that the person who is speaking is far away from him.
Whatever the reason, it turns out that neither of them may be able to see the person who is talking.
However, when the two were about to return to the ruined temple, they saw someone walking out of the corner behind them.
The two of them were immediately on alert.
The man stepped out of the corner little by little, walking slowly, not like he was walking, but like he was moving his steps.
When the man came out, they realized that it was an old man, with gray hair and dirty clothes, and he looked very pitiful.
And the old man's mouth was still muttering something.
The two of them held their breath slightly, trying to hear what the old man was saying, but no matter how quiet it was, they could never hear what the old man was talking about.
The two glanced at each other, and Jiang Yinchen said with a smile: "It's probably because she can't speak very clearly, so we can't hear it at all." ”
Although Yue Qingli still had some doubts in her heart, she could only nod her head when the senior brother said so.
Since nothing was discovered, the two decided to return to the ruined temple.
Shu Yicai and Xuan Rui were waiting in the broken temple, seeing that it was already dark, but Yue Qingli and Jiang Yinchen still did not come back, and both of them had a bad premonition for a while.
But thinking of Jiang Yinchen's ability, the two of them should not be taken away so quietly, so the two of them could only barely hold their temperament and continue to wait.
But just when the two of them couldn't wait, Jiang Yinchen and Yue Qingli came back.
As soon as she saw Yue Qingli, the heart that Xuan Rui mentioned finally fell back to the place, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then got up and grabbed Yue Qingli: "Why did you come back late, we almost went outside to find you." ”
Yue Qingli also smiled: "When I came back, I met a strange person, so I delayed some time." ”
Hearing that they had met a strange person, Xuan Rui and Shu Yicai were both surprised.
Jiang Yinchen sat down by the fire and told the two of them about finding the old man.
After speaking, Xuan Rui suddenly asked, "What's strange?"
Yue Qingli thought for a while: "I can't say it, I just think that person looks very strange." She already looks dirty, and she's still outside at night, isn't she worried about any danger?"
"The man looked like he was out of consciousness, and he probably didn't know there was danger outside. Jiang Yinchen said.
"Then is it really okay for us to let her go outside?" Yue Qingli couldn't help but say.
In fact, outside at that time, the atmosphere in the whole city became very gloomy, and all they wanted was to come back quickly, and there was no extra thought about bringing the old man back.
However, Jiang Yinchen said: "It should be fine." ”
Yue Qingli was puzzled: "Why?"
Shu Yicai hadn't seen the old man, so he didn't understand what Jiang Yinchen said.
"We found that the old man's clothes were dirty, indicating that she had not just lost her mind, and that she had been wandering outside for a long time. Jiang Yinchen said: "That's why no one takes care of the clothes on her body." ”
Since she would have been fine before, it seems that she will be fine tonight.
The three of them believed in Jiang Yinchen very much, so they didn't take this matter to heart anymore.
However, Yue Qingli was still faintly uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know if something was about to happen.
On the other side, Yao Danqiu asked the disciples to go back first, and rushed in the direction where Yue Qingli and the others came by himself.
She was chasing Yue Qingli and them, not like them, she still had time to stay in the small town outside for one night and inquire about some news, so she didn't have any precautions at all, and went directly into the Mingshuang City.
Like Yue Qingli and them, she was rejected by many inns, so when it got dark, she still didn't find a place to stay.
She could only walk alone on the streets.
The news she received was that Yue Qingli and the others had entered the city, but now that it was dark, she didn't know where they lived, and the inns she asked also said that there were no four people living in the store, and Yao Danqiu didn't know where she should go for a while.
But now that it's getting dark, it's not a way to continue outside, so it's better to find a place to stay first.
Thinking of this, Yao Danqiu still wanted to continue to find the inn.
However, she was walking down the street when she was stopped by a little monster that suddenly jumped out.
Seeing the little monster, Yao Danqiu also sneered. Ever since she entered the city, she had noticed that something was wrong with the city. But at that time, she was only thinking about finding a place to live, and she didn't think much about it, but now that she thinks about it, it must be because there are monsters in the city that she has become like this.
When the little monster saw that Yao Danqiu didn't look scared in the slightest, he immediately became angry and pounced on her.
