The depressed courtyard formed a strong contrast with this season full of vitality in early spring, like two grinding wheels, sharpening Zheng Lei's heart.

Zheng Lei suddenly remembered that he didn't know where he had seen such a sentence: There is no endless road, and any difficulties will always leave a glimmer of life, but where is his own vitality? Where is the vitality of his parents?

Suddenly, a hoarse dog barked and broke the silence of the world, and Zheng Lei turned his head sharply and looked out of the gate.

A dirty, skinny dog, standing at the door with a wilted look, with four hooves on it, with dark red dirt, a body of hair, and a lock of hair, looking very embarrassed.

Zheng Lei was a little puzzled, but when he looked at the dog, he felt very familiar.

"Qiuqiu!" Zheng Lei tentatively barked, this is the name of his dog, when he was eight years old, his father went to work in the fields, and when he came back at night, he picked up a dog, this dog was not as hungry as other stray dogs, but ate like a meat ball, so Zheng Lei gave it a name called "Qiuqiu".

The dog outside the door was stunned for more than ten seconds, and finally ran towards Zheng Lei violently, ran to Zheng Lei's side and rubbed his head Zheng Lei's body.

Finally seeing a living thing, Zheng Lei couldn't help but feel a little excited, and finally he was not completely disappointed.

Zheng Lei squatted down and rubbed Qiuqiu's head and said, "Qiuqiu, where did you go? Did they take everyone away? How did you run back?"

Zheng Lei said for a while, hugged Qiuqiu and sat on the ground, no matter what he said, Qiuqiu was just a dog, unable to give him any help, although when he saw Qiuqiu, Zheng Lei's heart was a little excited, but then it was even more disappointed.

He sat on the ground, quietly holding Qiuqiu, trying to guess in his heart where his parents might go back, no matter where they were taken, Zheng Lei would not give up, even if he looked for a lifetime, he would look for it.

"Wangwang......" Qiuqiu's hoarse voice interrupted Zheng Lei's thinking.

Zheng Lei looked down at Qiuqiu, only to see Qiuqiu's eyes full of anxiety, a pair of claws sticking to dark red soil, and kept holding his hands.

Could it be that Qiuqiu is trying to tell me something? A thought flashed through Zheng Lei's mind, he had seen the story of a loyal dog repaying his kindness in many places before.

Zheng Lei plucked up the courage to say to Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, do you know where your parents are?"

After speaking, Zheng Lei's heart thumped, and Qiuqiu nodded very humanely, and one front paw slowly rubbed on Zheng Lei's hand.

Zheng Lei was excited and said, "Okay, Qiuqiu, let's go quickly." As he spoke, he put the ball on the ground.

Qiuqiu staggered, almost lying on the ground, and tried to take two steps forward, but stood in place and kept shaking, and then it looked back at Zheng Lei, as if it was encouraged, although it trembled, it still walked forward, but every step it took, its body would tremble violently.

The more Zheng Lei looked at it, the more wrong it became, he walked over and picked up Qiuqiu, grabbed its hooves and took a look, only to see that Qiuqiu's four hooves were all rotten, and the blood kept flowing outward, staining the dark red soil on the paws even redder.

"Are you injured?" Zheng Lei said worriedly, then grabbed Qiuqiu's claws and gently peeled off the dirt on it, Qiuqiu trembled all over, but he didn't even moan.

Peeling off the soil, Zheng Lei saw Qiuqiu's hooves, which were originally supposed to be a thick layer of cuticle, but now they have become a blur of flesh and blood, and the original hairy claws are now only sparse and remnant hair, which is really miserable.

Looking at Qiuqiu's paws, Zheng Lei seemed to think of something, and said softly: "Qiuqiu, are you going to help me find my parents? Have you been running for a long time?" Zheng Lei's words made Qiuqiu obediently lie in his arms and rub his head, looking like a child who has been praised for doing good deeds.

Zheng Lei picked up Qiuqiu, came to the kitchen to warm a large basin of water, and then carefully washed Qiuqiu's whole body, and washed it to Qiuqiu's wound, Qiuqiu's whole body shook violently, but it didn't make any sound. This scene, Zheng Lei, who watched it, burst into tears in his heart, thinking that a dog is so human, but some people are far worse than this dog.

After washing, Qiuqiu looks a little like it, but it has lost a lot of weight compared to the Qiuqiu in memory.

Zheng Lei took out some gauze from home and wrapped Qiuqiu's hooves, then hugged Qiuqiu and said: "Qiuqiu, if you can still understand me, then use your claws to show me the way, and we will go to save people together!"

Qiuqiu nodded obediently, and then stretched his paw in the direction of the entrance of the village.

Zheng Lei saw Qiuqiu's movements, his heart was hot, and without saying a word, he picked up Qiuqiu and rushed out of his door.

Along the way, Zheng Lei was guided by Qiuqiu, constantly changing the direction, in fact, some roads are completely wronged, but the way animals find the way is fundamentally different from the way people remember the way, although they have taken some wrongful roads, but it is much better than not having any clues.

Zheng Lei ran wildly all the way with Qiuqiu, but he became more and more confused in his heart, the road that Qiuqiu pointed to didn't look like a road that a dog could remember at all. Anxious in his heart, after leaving the house, he pasted a magic talisman on his body, and its speed was completely comparable to that of a car.

But no matter how fast Zheng Lei is, Qiuqiu can always show Zheng Lei the right path when it's time to turn.

He looked down at the docile Qiuqiu in his arms, and couldn't help but wonder if Qiuqiu was a dog after all, what he said, Qiuqiu could almost completely understand, and Qiuqiu's head reaction speed was also very fast, if it wasn't for the fact that it had the body of a dog and couldn't speak human words, then it was no different from a human.

The winding road slowly winds to Xi'an City, Zheng Lei is more and more frightened on the road, such a long road, and it is not a straight line, if these roads are straightened, the length can almost go back and forth at the foot of Xi'an and Huashan.

Such a long distance, if it is a car, it will not take too long, but if you let a dog walk, I don't know how long it will take, Zheng Lei looked down at Qiuqiu, reached out and gently rubbed it on its head a few times, and said: "Qiuqiu, it's really hard for you!" Zheng Lei can guess from Qiuqiu's appearance that in the days when his parents were taken away, Qiuqiu was looking for their traces almost day and night.

Although the straight-line distance is not far, but the search for people and the rush can not be equated at all, if it is just a hurry, even if you only let the ball to run, it will not take a few days, but it is difficult to find someone, otherwise, the four hooves of the ball will not run are all worn out.

If you go a little further, you will enter the city of Xi'an.

Qiuqiu suddenly barked wildly, the paws wrapped in gauze kept shaking in one direction, Zheng Lei ran in the direction that Qiuqiu pointed to without doubt, along the way, Qiuqiu has never screamed so excitedly, it has always been a paw to Zheng Lei to point the direction, and now suddenly screamed, it must be not far from the destination.

After running wildly for a while, Zheng Lei found that the buildings around him were getting more and more dilapidated, he stopped to look around, the rusty steel made of steel was about to collapse, and there were still vague remnants of the prosperity of the past, as if an old man with a candle was telling the younger generations about the glory of his youth.

This is the old city of Xi'an, once, this piece of factory for the development of the western part of the country, made an indelible contribution, now with the changes of the times and the progress of science and technology, this plant has been slowly forgotten, the younger generation of children, no one remembers how much economic benefits this plant has brought to the society, and no one remembers how much people who look dilapidated and dilapidated, once fed how many people living at the bottom of the society.

The hustle and bustle of the past has been left in people's memories, and only this ruin is left in front of them, like a devil's mouth, as if to swallow the people who approach it.

Suddenly, Zheng Lei felt Qiuqiu bite his sleeve, and quickly stopped, looked around vigilantly, but didn't see anyone, Qiuqiu struggled a few times in his arms, and then jumped down.

Qiuqiu stood on the ground, sniffed a few times against the wind, and then bit Zheng Lei's trouser leg and walked to the side.

After a while, the two of them walked by together, and they actually had guns in their hands, but they didn't know if it was true or not, but in such an environment, Jiang Long wouldn't make a few fake guns to bluff people there, you must know that there are several sects behind him, and if you want to get a few guns, it is still a breeze for these cultivators.

When the two of them passed, Zheng Lei gently patted Qiuqiu's head and whispered: "Little guy, you are really clever, thanks to your sensitive nose, otherwise I would have with my parents before I saw them." ”

Qiuqiu rubbed his head on Zheng Lei's body a few times to show intimacy, and then raised his paw and pointed forward, signaling that it was time to go.

Zheng Lei rolled his eyes and said in his heart: Are you a dog or not? How do you behave like a person? Could it be that you are not a mortal?

Along the way, thanks to Qiuqiu's sensitive nose, he would evade the enemy's inspection before the enemy arrived every time, and in this way, Zheng Lei came to the center of this abandoned factory area without danger.

From the outside, these abandoned factories are very dilapidated, but when you walk in, you will find that there are actually many intact houses here, but they have been abandoned along with this area.

After dodging an unknown number of waves of enemies, Zheng Lei was led by Qiuqiu to a sewer manhole cover.

Qiuqiu's claws kept pulling on the manhole cover, Zheng Lei knew that it was moving the sewer manhole cover like this, and he didn't talk nonsense, and easily removed the sewer manhole cover.

This is not a sewer wellhead at all, but a prototype exit of a channel, perfectly camouflaged by the sewer manhole cover, a staircase that only allows one person to pass, from the underground darkness, quietly and silently, reaching to Zheng Lei's feet.

Zheng Lei turned his head to look at Qiuqiu, then looked at the passage, and then asked, "My parents are inside?"

Qiuqiu nodded, Zheng Lei reached out and patted its head, and then said to it: "You wait outside, find a place to hide nearby, and when I come out later, you will show me the way." ”

With that, he pulled the sewer manhole cover, closed it again, and walked down the dark passage by himself. Suddenly, he walked into the darkness, Zheng Lei's eyes couldn't see anything clearly, and after walking cautiously for a while, he could finally see something clearly.

He looked towards the wall of the passage with all his eyes, only to see that the passage wall was not a passage made of reinforced concrete, but a continuous mural, due to the light, Zheng Lei could only see that these were murals, but what was the specific content, Zheng Lei could not see clearly, and the current situation did not allow Zheng Lei to enjoy these murals here.

As he walked, Zheng Lei suddenly had a feeling that this passage was like a passage to an underground tomb, and there was an eerie cool breeze blowing around it from time to time, and in the cool breeze, there was a thick damp smell, which was the unique smell of the underground air.

Contacting the special historical status of Xi'an, Zheng Lei feels that this is not as simple as the underground of the dilapidated factory, it is very likely that the place where he is now is an ancient tomb, as for whose ancient tomb, Zheng Lei can't guess, after all, for thousands of years, countless people have died, and the people who can rank up can also form a super group to go to Master Yan to brush copies.

After continuing to walk for a while, Zheng Lei's heart was even more puzzled, how could he not encounter an enemy after walking such a long distance? This situation usually does not happen, and it is impossible for Jiang Long not to arrange heavy guards in front of his parents, but so far, Zheng Lei is still walking quietly in the passage alone.

Could it be that Qiuqiu made a mistake? Although Qiuqiu can find out where his parents are, he may not be able to see his parents, just the manhole cover of this sewer, Qiuqiu can't do anything, let alone other more difficult things.

Or is it that Qiuqiu was wrong from the beginning? His parents were not locked up here? Zheng Lei's thoughts slipped through here, and he quickly turned to the side, he didn't dare to think that if things were like this, his heart would not bear it.

Suddenly, Zheng Lei heard a slight friction sound, he brushed and stopped, listening carefully, the endless silence around him, the silence was so quiet that people were almost hallucinating, he seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat.

For a long time, Zheng Lei didn't take a step forward, he was waiting, waiting for the voice to appear again, and it was almost ten minutes before Zheng Lei took a step forward.

As soon as the step fell, Zheng Lei heard a slight friction sound again, Zheng Lei's heart tightened, and the merit ruler and the heart nail immediately arrived in his hand.
