But wait until everyone arrives in this town.

It was not as prosperous as they expected.

Although it is a small town, every household has their doors locked and the streets are empty before dark.

Song Wanning was the first to knock on a house's door.

When the other party heard the sound, he just opened the door a little.

Observed them for a while.

When he found out they were some strangers, he closed the door without saying a word.

Song Wanning only heard a bang, and the next second, she was isolated outside the door by someone.

Song Wanning was a little confused.

What's happening here?

Don’t these people like outsiders?

Or... is there another reason?

But Jiang Wan'er burst into laughter in the crowd.

“With your looks, it’s good that you don’t scare others. Just look at me.” Jiang Wan’er wanted to show off in front of Yun Che, so she deliberately lifted her hair.

She went to the house next door.

There was a candle still on, and I could see there was someone in the room.

Jiang Wan'er knocked on the door confidently, waiting for them to open the door and welcome her in.

Unfortunately.

The family didn't even have a chance to open the door.

Jiang Wan'er waited outside for a while, and her facial expression gradually became stiff.

I was thinking in my heart, why are these people so ungrateful?

I've been standing outside for so long and knocking on the door for so long, why don't you open it?

Jiang Wan'er became impatient and knocked twice more.

But still no one came to open the door.

Jiang Wan'er was so embarrassed at this moment that she could only kick the door hard.

Song Jiang came out and made faces at Jiang Wan'er.

"You are not as good as my elder brother. See? No one pays attention to you. You are such a clown." Song Jiang couldn't bear to see Song Wanning being laughed at, so he took the initiative to mock Jiang Wan'er.

Jiang Wan'er originally wanted to save face, but now she is completely embarrassed.

She walked over with anger on her face, raised her hand, and prepared to hit Song Jiang.

Yun Che appeared at the right time and stood in front of Song Jiang.

His eyes were fixed on Jiang Wan'er with a hint of majesty.

It was as if he was telling Jiang Wan'er that if she dared to do anything, she could give it a try.

Jiang Wan'er immediately became timid, shrank her neck, and stood silently next to the crowd.

As for Song Wanning.

I tried several more in a row, but every time I knocked on the door, no one answered.

Occasionally one or two households would open the door, but would refuse if they saw it was a stranger.

Without giving Song Wanning a chance to speak, the door closed.

"Who are these people? It looks like they don't want us to go in. Why don't we leave? It's a waste of time staying in this town." Jiang Wan'er put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction, her tone extremely arrogant.

After all, they wanted to come to the town to do some shopping, and in this situation, there might not be anything.

There's no point staying here, so we might as well continue on our way.

But Song Wanning found something wrong.

These people are too exclusive of outsiders.

Logically speaking.

There should be many groups fleeing famine.

It was impossible for the town not to notice, and any village that was not in great difficulty would receive them.

Especially for a town like this, both the decoration and the streets should be prosperous.

But now the streets are empty and the stalls are covered with dust.

Everyone hid in the house and refused to come out.

Something must have happened.

Song Wanning originally wanted to find another store to ask for clarification, but before she had taken two steps, she heard crying sounds coming from an alley.

Yun Che happened to be standing at the entrance of the alley. He looked inside keenly and saw a child, who looked to be about the same age as Song Jiang, wiping his tears but not daring to cry too loudly.

Song Wanning also came over to take a look, stood outside, and asked, "Little friend, why are you crying?"

She thought that if she asked a question to a child, she might be able to find out some information.

When the child heard someone talking, he quickly wiped away his tears and looked over curiously.

"You are not from this town." The child recognized them immediately, his eyes full of vigilance.

"We are the people who escaped here. We just saw that everyone else was staying in the house. Did something happen?" Song Wanning spoke gently, trying to remain calm.

The child was stunned at first, and opened his mouth to speak, but after looking at Yun Che and Song Wanning, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"It's nothing, you should go. Nothing good will happen here." The child urged Song Wanning and the others to leave.

But these words were heard by Jiang Wan'er who happened to come closer.

Jiang Wan'er had just suffered a setback not long ago, so of course she would not listen to the orders of a child.

"Why should we leave? Your hospitality is too much. You little brat, do you still want to kick us out?"

Jiang Wan'er was particularly rude when speaking to a child.

I didn't notice the sadness in the child's eyes at all.

Song Wanning turned around, glared at Jiang Waner, and warned, "If you can't speak, just shut your mouth, or I don't mind pulling out all your teeth."

Hearing her say this, Jiang Wan'er was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth and looked at Yun Che with fear.

Unfortunately, she didn’t even get a glance from Yun Che.

Song Wanning took a step forward and extended her hand to the child.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, and we also want to know what happened in the town."

"Just think about it, it will be dark soon. If we leave like this, it will definitely be more unsafe."

"How about you take us back to your house? If you need any help, you can tell me and we promise not to do anything wrong."

Song Wanning knew that children were simple-minded.

As long as you build a good relationship with the child, you can get some information out of him.

The child looked at Song Wanning.

Maybe it was her attitude that made the child relax a lot.

However, the child’s next answer was not what Song Wanning wished.

"Thank you, big brother, but I can't keep you in the town. If it really doesn't work, you can just rest for a night at the entrance of the town. The town is not a suitable place for you to stay." The child also advised sincerely.

When Song Wanning heard this, she understood one thing.

He thought the town was even less safe, so he asked them to leave.

"There are houses and an inn where we can sleep. Why do you want us to go to the town entrance?" Jiang Wan'er asked unconvinced.

The child opened his mouth and wanted to continue speaking, but then he thought it would be useless even if he told them, so he did not open his mouth but just lowered his head.

"Little friend, why don't you tell me what happened in the town?"

"I'm a doctor. I can treat illnesses and I also know some other trivial matters. Maybe I can help."

As soon as Song Wanning finished speaking, the child's eyes lit up.

He immediately walked up to Song Wanning and grabbed her sleeve.

Those pleading eyes stared straight at Song Wanning.

"Big brother...are you really a doctor?" the child asked expectantly.
