Chapter 36: Out of Silence

Stopping the induction of qi into the body, a root stood up from the branch, pressed his back against the main trunk of the dead tree, and opened his eyes in the boundless night.

The stomach and intestines in the body are no longer twitching, and although the fishy smell in the mouth has not completely faded, the taste of blood has faded.

But in my mind, the bloody scene is still clear.

As in front of you.

Such as in front of you.

Such as in front of you.

In my heart, I kept reminding myself that I was forced to be helpless, but there was still a cool touch in the palm of my blood-stained right hand.

It's like holding the handle of a knife.

The thin morning light penetrated through the cracks of the dark clouds.

The morning light reflected the roots of the eyes, revealing numb eyes, but in this light that broke the darkness, they still couldn't find the focus.

The border town not far away, in the bright sky, gradually became clear.

Look at the houses and relatively smooth roads in the distant town, and look at the ruins of the town full of broken eaves and broken bricks.

Look at the cracked ground in front of the ruins, and a large puddle of red earth on the ground.

Yougen knew he had to leave.

Jumping off the trunk of the tree, there is a root along the strange road, walking forward.

He didn't know what lay ahead.

He didn't know what his fate would be.

But he didn't want to go to the border town again, so he could only go forward.

In front of him, there is only one way.

Soon, the only way was gone.

The road was covered with wild weeds and tall trees, and the road was at its end.

One sighed, reached out and brushed aside the curved blades of grass that blocked his view, and continued to walk east.

Stepping on the soft ground paved with dead branches and rotten leaves, there was a self-deprecating self-deprecation: "Whatever, the place where my feet are stepped on is my way." ”

Caoyun County manages a land radius of thousands of miles.

The size of the county seat covers an area of 100 miles.

Because it is a city in the true sense of the word, it has a city wall, a moat, two gates, and guards to guard the gates.

After seven days of trekking in the wilderness, Arigen stood at the eastern gate of the county seat, his gaze sweeping over the deserted gate.

With his hands on his waist, he looked up at the top of the city gate, and the stone inscription hung on the city wall.

"Caoyun County?" Dressed in dirty, tattered cloth clothes, unkempt and rooted, he showed a smile that he thought was open-minded.

Exposed black teeth.

Then, Arigen walked forward, and he walked towards the city gate.

Then, he stopped.

Because in front of him, two long lances were erected.

Sharp blades, silver restrained but eerie sharp faces, and a two-meter-long lance.

This is the real lance.

A lance used to kill people.

"That, I said, this. Looking at the lance resting on his neck, Yougen swallowed and spit, quickly took a step back, spread his palm and propped it up in front of him.

"Two soldiers, aren't you allowed to enter the city today? I'm from out of town, and I probably don't know the rules. ”

The two doormen glanced at each other, and one of them, the one with the beard on his chin, was the first to speak: "Boy, you are in the wrong place. ”

"Oh, then this soldier, I don't know when the little brother should enter the city?"

"Look at you, you are fleeing, the county guard is on the outskirts of the north of the city, and you have enclosed a piece of land for you homeless people and beggars in the city, you should go there, that is where you should go. ”

Hearing this, Yougen's face showed anger, and his outstretched palms were also clenched together.

The back of the hand is bruised.

Watching the action of the root, the doorman with the beard on the chin turned his head to look at the other doorman with no beard and smooth chin.

Each other held the lance in their hands tighter.

However, Arigen didn't do anything more, just looked up at the top of the city gate and looked at the stone carvings on the city wall.

Then, Arigen turned away and began to walk around the city walls, towards the north.

Looking at the back of Yougen leaving, the doorman guarding the east city gate, after glancing at each other, took away the long lance that was set together.

Looking at Yougen's back farther and farther away, the doorman without a beard said with a smile: "Old Wu, what did I think he was going to do just now? ”

"This guy doesn't know the rules very well, but he's just an ordinary person fleeing, how dare he?"

"yes. With his right hand crossed in front of his helmet, the young doorman looked sideways at the back that had faded away, with a hint of doubt on his face, and asked, "It's just a refugee, but Lao Wu, refugees from the east are rare." ”

"Something must have happened to his hometown, maybe the plague or the war, or maybe he got lost. Straightening his helmet, the older doorman replied casually, his tone very disapproving.

"Who knows. ”

Walking along the corner, Yougen, who didn't want to expose his strength, didn't cross the line.

The floor at the bottom of the wall is fine and flat, and there are not many weeds.

But at the speed of his usual walking, it took three hours for Yougen to reach the corner of the city wall.

Standing by the city wall, you can look up at the outskirts of the northern part of the city.

He saw a stream of water, a bush of flowers, three fences, dozens of wooden houses.

Water is a river, flowers are wildflowers, and a fence is a fence.

It seems that the owner of Caoyun County is not too ruthless, at least he has left a water source for the beggars in his eyes.

One walked towards the wooden house, towards the river in front of the fence.

After passing through the flowers on the riverbank, Yougen walked to the riverbank.

On the other side of the river, several women dressed in sackcloth are washing their clothes on a washboard on the riverbank, and a wooden basin of laundry is placed next to the women.

There are a lot of wooden pots, probably dozens.

The creek is shallow and the current is fast.

Touching the running water with his fingers, he felt that the water was not very cold, Yougen breathed a sigh of relief, pouted some water with both hands, and began to wash his face covered with wind and dust.

The women who were washing their clothes upstream found Yougen standing on the other side of the river, washing themselves.

"Look there's a guy there. ”

"I guess I fled too. ”

"Alas, looking at his rotten clothes, he must have suffered a lot. ”

The women discussed among themselves for a while, and finally one of the women, the oldest of whom seemed to be the oldest, stood up.

The old woman walked down the river and staggered to the opposite bank of the root.

"Big brother, that, big brother. The woman had to pause every time she spoke, her voice hoarse and not loud.

But still enough to cross the riverbank.

At this time, Yougen was squatting by the river, dipping in water to sort out the messy hair on his head like a bird's nest.

Hearing the old woman's voice, Yougen raised his head and looked at the old woman on the other side with some consternation.

"What's the matter? old man. ”

Standing up, there was a look of doubt on his face.

Yougen didn't expect it, and the old woman who shouted Yougen didn't think that no one could think of it, it was this cry that changed the fate of the entire Western Wilderness, changed the order of Middle Earth, changed the fate of the Western Soil, and changed the fate of the entire heaven and earth.

After that, I don't know what year, I don't know what month, I don't know when.

There is an overlord between heaven and earth.

There is a world full of tragedies and demonic abuse, and there is a king.
