Chapter 73, The Straight Alley, Part [-]

After eating, Meng Jingye thought that her bag of ears hadn't been exchanged yet, and if they were left in storage, if they were all rotten, there would be no other way, so she told Zhagu and Dangdang, Carrying such a bag of ears, he went out and went straight to the exchange office.

There are not many people in the exchange office now, and there are only a few people in front of the counters. Meng Jingye is also carrying the bag, and randomly finds a team with a slightly smaller number of people and lines up.

One left, the other came again, and soon it was Meng Jingye's turn. Meng Jingye dumped the ears in his pocket into the slot in front of the counter, and the staff standing on both sides immediately started counting, and Meng Jingye also Standing aside, watching quietly.

After counting, several staff members added up their numbers and handed the account book to the counter.Meng Jingye also sat on the chair in front of the counter. The young woman at the counter picked up the account book on the counter, looked at the number, then pushed the account book in front of Meng Jingye and said: "Please take a look, sir, please check the account book. "Meng Jingye picked it up, looked at each number carefully, and then looked at the final total. It was basically the same as the number she added, so she pushed the ledger back and took out her own copper plate.

The young woman took the sign, pressed the number, took out a piece of paper from the cabinet, took a brush, dipped it in some pink ink, wrote a 65 behind the first square, blew it, and saw 65 Gradually it disappeared on the paper.

Then he smiled and said to Meng Jingye: "Hero, this is your first time exchanging military merit, isn't it?"

Meng Jingye nodded and said, "Yes."

The young woman took out another booklet, handed it to Meng Jingye's hand, and said with a smile: "This is a list of exchanges. Please take a look at it. When you have something you like, please exchange it with us in time. Generally, Common items can be picked up immediately from the warehouse at the back. However, items that are more precious or have special preservation methods will take one to three days to pick up. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you!" Then! He bowed and stood still.

Meng Jingye casually flipped through the booklet, and found that this was the one she had seen at Xie's house, and found that her points were not enough to exchange for the few things she wanted, so she stopped reading and took the small booklet. Putting the booklet in my arms, I went out.

She passed this familiar alley again, and the small straight alley next to the alley was still there. Although the sun was bright, Meng Jingye felt a strong chill.

After standing still for a while, another short man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes walked into the straight alley if he pinned two blood-red flowers.Meng Jingye stood where she was, watching all this with her eyes.

Continuing to walk forward, I met a little girl. The little girl was carrying a basket of flowers and a day lily. She looked at Meng Jingye and said softly: "Hero, do you want to buy flowers? Two flowers for each!"

Meng Jingye stopped and asked, "Do you sell blood-red flowers here?"

The little girl silently put the daylilies back into the flower basket, and walked past Meng Jingye with the flower basket on her shoulders, but she didn't answer Meng Jingye's question.

Meng Jingye took a few steps back, reached out to block the little girl's way, and said, "You haven't answered my question yet, here is 100 taels, answer me, and I'll give it to you!" Meng Jingye took out another silver ticket , placed in front of the little girl’s eyes.

The little girl just stood there quietly, not saying a word, staring at Meng Jingye with pure eyes, not moved by the 100 taels of silver notes.

For a long while, the two of them stood silently. From time to time, someone passed by, and they just looked at them, and then they each walked away to go about their own affairs. In Pingnan City, everyone is very busy, and there is no time to study the excitement. .Although Wu Chaore likes to watch the excitement, that's when he has nothing to do.

In the end, it was Meng Jingye who got out of the way and said to the little girl, "You go." The little girl didn't have any expression on her face at this time, she just quietly walked in the direction she wanted to go, and walked slowly .Meng Jingye stood behind, watching the little girl's leaving figure.

She didn't have any clue. After the little girl walked away, Meng Jingye still couldn't find the origin and function of the blood-red flower.Meng Jingye raised her foot and prepared to leave.Suddenly I heard someone pressing close to my ear and whispering: "Eastern suburbs. Cemetery."

"Who!" Meng Jingye was startled, shouted, jumped back a step, looked back and forth, turned around several times, but found no one!There were no pedestrians near her. The empty alley and a gust of wind blew by made Meng Jingye's hair stand on end!Who can say this in front of his own ears and still disappear?If it was a human, it would be terrible!

Meng Jingye quickly walked out of the alley and onto the street, but she didn't find anything unusual!Eastern Suburbs. Cemetery?What is the place?Meng Jingye rubbed her chin, thinking.Or go and see it!
Dongjiao, a very common name, but in fact it is not so common. It used to be the front line of Pingnan City in the most difficult time. Every day, Pingnan City’s army and barbarians would fight here. If you dig, you can find countless bones.Now there are too many entities in this place, so no one lives there, and no one will even bring it here, after all, the yin energy is too heavy!
Then, the eastern suburbs became a huge cemetery, and countless corpses would be sent here. During the war, no one cares about your burial and return home, just pile it here and you're done.

Meng Jingye set foot on this cemetery step by step, and now there are dense jungles everywhere.With every step, Meng Jingye felt like she was stepping on countless bones, and there was a faint sound of bones rubbing against her feet.A few drops of sweat flowed from Meng Jingye's head.It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous. Meng Jingye put the long sword in her hand and looked around cautiously. Meng Jingye would not easily step on anything that didn't look like a road.

"Don't ask. Who can stop and stop. Under the moon, the dry bones are wrapped in red clothes." A melodious singing voice, accompanied by the erhu, resounded through the entire forest.Meng Jingye drew out her long sword, and turned her eyes to the direction where the singing erhu came from. The dark and dim jungle obstructed Meng Jingye's sight, so that Meng Jingye could not see anything.

After a long while, Meng Jingye started to continue walking, but more cautiously.The sweat on his head became more intense.
