search for flowers

"However, these half-corpses don't kill anyone they see. They also pick people. In the past few days, many rich and powerful families in Donghe have been killed, but I haven't heard of us ordinary people being killed."

"Then how did these half corpses come about, do you know?"

"I'm a beggar, how do I know this?"

Rong Tan asked again: "Then can you still get something now? I don't see anyone on the street."

"If you want to beg for food as usual, you will definitely not be able to get it. Fortunately, Mr. Rong is kind-hearted, and he is giving out porridge at the vegetable market. We all go there on time to get food."

Rong Tan didn't know who this Third Master Rong was, but just based on the name, it should be from their Rong family.

"Master Rong?" The old master listened to him, pondered for a while, and said, "He is your third uncle."

"My third uncle?" Rong Tan said: "I heard from that beggar elder brother that this third master Rong is serving porridge at the entrance of the vegetable market. We can look for him tomorrow. Since he is my third uncle, he will naturally help us. "

"He doesn't recognize you, I'll go." The old master said.

Rong Tan nodded: "My third uncle, is it hard to talk, master, why do you look like this?"

The old master sighed, and said: "You don't know something, your third uncle, named Rong Ming, has always been at odds with your father. He is a bit out of gregarious, and his temperament is also aloof. But back then, he and I The relationship is not bad, he will probably recognize me."

Just listening to the master's tone, this matter seems to be a bit suspenseful.

Before Lu Guangye came back, Rong Tan walked out of the temple gate and sat down on the front steps.Li Mu turned to look at him, and said, "Go in, there is dew outside, it's cold."

"I'm fine, I'm not afraid of the cold." He said and leaned towards Li Mu, leaning against him.

Li Mu smiled and said, "You've been honest these two days."

Rong Tan thought to himself that he was stimulated by the matter of Bai Qingyu, and he was also stimulated by the matter of Su Ling's life hanging by a thread.

But he didn't speak, just smiled at Li Mu.

"This is Donghe." Li Mu said.

Yes, although the journey was difficult and dangerous, they still returned to their hometown. There were countless casualties along the way, but fortunately, the people close to them were still there.

"When I was in the capital, I always fantasized about the appearance of Donghe, but looking at it now, it's actually no different."

"We haven't arrived at Donghe City yet. When we enter the city, let's go and see if the Ten Miles of Peach Blossom is as beautiful as the painting."

When Rong Teng heard what he said, he laughed.Footsteps came from behind him, and when he turned around, it was Su Ling.

Rong Tan sat up straight, and smiled at Su Ling: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, why did you come out, don't lie down properly."

"It's stuffy in the temple. I'll come out to get some air. What are you two whispering?"

"What can I whisper to him, it's just that we are emotional, we finally returned to Donghe."

"That's right." Su Ling sat down beside him, looked up at the moon in the sky, "So the wind in Donghe is like this, and the moon in Donghe is like this."

Rong Tanwen laughed out loud: "Don't you want to imitate the old masters and their gentle recitation of a poem?"

"It's just that I didn't expect that I would be able to return to Donghe alive," Su Ling said, "When I return to my hometown, I will die without regret. When I was in Qingzhou City, I thought I would become a lonely ghost who died in a foreign land. "

"You went to the capital later than us. When you left here, you still remember things. Is this Donghe different from when you left?"

Su Ling nodded: "When I left, it was spring, and the city was full of flowers. I was far away from Donghe, and I could still smell the fragrance of peach blossoms. But do you think it's strange? I remember the smell of peach blossoms, but I don't remember the smell of peach blossoms at that time." It's a sight." He coughed twice as he spoke, and it was a pity to see a scar on his originally beautiful face.

Rong Tan said: "It's dewy outside, it's almost time to get home, don't catch a cold, go back and lie down."

Su Ling then stood up, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two continue to whisper... just one point, don't let the master see you pestering the minister, or he will scold you."

Rong Tan blushed: "What are you scolding me for?"

"What are you scolding, you know it in your heart, I have been watching all the way." Su Ling laughed twice, and went into the temple.Leaving Rong Tan with a hot face, he glanced at Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Su Ling is careful."

There were footsteps in the distance, and Lu Guangye walked over under the moonlight.Rong Tan straightened up and asked, "How is it?"

Lu Guangye shook his head.Rong Tan said: "Who would have thought that the first meal I, Rong Tan, had when I returned to my hometown would be turned away from the door."

"Blame me. I brought a warrant with me when I went to the capital, but it was a pity that I lost it that night at the inn. However, Lu Guangbiao, who guards the city, is my cousin. It shouldn't be a problem for us to enter the city tomorrow. The ruined temple is enough for one night."

"Isn't there a lot of wind, food and sleep on this road? It's okay. And I just told the old master that we will go to the entrance of the vegetable market tomorrow morning. I heard that my third uncle, Mr. Rong, is there to give porridge. See you If we leave him, someone will probably come to welcome us. I, the dignified son of the Rong family, will naturally go home dignifiedly."

Li Mudao: "Now we don't know what's going on in the city, we can't all go in rashly. In this way, Shen Yan and I will go into the city tomorrow to find out the situation."

It was dark, and they all returned to the temple.Rong Tan originally huddled with Li Wei and the others, seeing that everyone was asleep, he sneaked to Li Mu's place.As soon as he got close to Li Mu's body, he was hugged by Li Mu.Li Mu covered his mouth with one hand, motioned him to be quiet, and hugged him with one hand.

Rong Tan's heart was hot, but he didn't move, and just leaned into Li Mu's arms.Li Mu pressed against his ear and said softly, "Go to sleep."

She slept very peacefully that night, and when Rong Tan woke up the next day, Li Mu and Fan Xingzhi had already entered the city.Li Wei said: "You just got up, my father is waiting for you outside."

Today is sunny but good, autumn air is crisp.The group of them followed the beggar to Caishikou, but they didn't see any porridge shop.

"It's strange, there are obviously people who come to give porridge every day," said the beggar, "I'll ask others, are we late?"

He went over to ask some other beggars, and came back and said, "They were also puzzled, the Rong family didn't come to give out the porridge today. There has been no interruption in the past half a month, why did it suddenly disappear today? Could it be that something happened to the Rong family thing?"

Rong took a look at Lu Guangye, and Lu Guangye said: "Let's go back first and wait for Mr. Fan and the others to come back. I always feel a little weird."

Not only Lu Guangye felt a little weird, but even Rong Tan felt a little weird.The group of them walked back, and just a few steps away, they saw a group of people on horseback approaching in front of them.Although it was far away, the people who were sitting on the ground waiting for the porridge in front of them all got up screaming and fled in all directions.The scene suddenly became chaotic, Lu Guangye was the first to grab Rong Tan and protect him behind him, and everyone walked into the alley on one side.

"Who is that?" Zhu Yan asked in horror.

"I don't know, let's go, let's hide first."

It's just that what they entered turned out to be a dead end, and there happened to be a door open in that dead end, so the group of them hid in.The yard was in a mess, and most of the houses had already collapsed. Lu Guangye observed the door for a while, and whispered: "No, they came into the alley."

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Yan asked.

"Hide, master, Li Wei." Rong Tan said, and pushed these people behind the ruined wall to hide.But Su Ling pulled out an arrow and put it on the string, Rong Wen asked, "Are you alright?"

Su Ling shook her head: "I'm fine."

Rong Tan also drew his sword, and stood guard on both sides of the gate with Lu Guangye, looking at each other.

The people outside seemed to be coming directly at them, the sound of horseshoes getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door.Rong Tanxin raised it in his throat, and when he heard the footsteps of the other party getting off his horse, a person walked in first. Who knew that the moment his feet hit the ground, his head was chopped off by Lu Guangye.The head rolled down to Rong Tan's feet, and Rong Tan saw those dull and cloudy eyes.

It really is a walking corpse!

Lu Guangye rushed out immediately, and Rong Tan heard the neighing of the horse, and rushed out too, but found that not all of the group of people came over, only two of them came, and one of them had been killed by Lu Guangye, and the other was still alive. Riding on the horse, seeing Lu Guangye rushing out, he was about to ride away. Lu Guangye jumped onto the horse, pinned the man's neck, and finished him with a knife.

"Young master, let's go." Lu Guangye said.

"Let the master and the others go first."

These two people came in to check, and if they didn't go out for a long time, they would definitely let the large group of people on the main street know that something had happened. Before the large group of people came over, they had to find a way to leave first.But there are only two horses, and they are too many people.

Rong Tan helped the old master and Zhu Yan onto the horse, and then said to Lu Guangye, "Take them with you, and leave Su Ling and Li Wei to me."

Lu Guangye hesitated for a moment, then Rong Tan said, "Don't think about it, let's go."

As he spoke, he got on his horse and pulled Li Wei and Su Ling up.He tugged on the reins, nodded to Lu Guangye, and the two horses rushed out almost at the same time.

Two horses jumped out of the alley, and Rong Tan only saw a dozen or so half-dead horses riding tall horses ahead, all of them looked towards them.

"It's them!" Someone in the crowd yelled, and those half-corpses rode towards them one after another.Lu Guangye walked in the front on horseback, brandishing the Tang knife in his hand, and chopped down two people with one blow, but the moment the half-corpse fell to the ground, they used the sword in their hand to pick off Zhu Yan and the old master behind Lu Guangye.

"Young master, let's go!"

Lu Guangye got off his horse, rolled around and landed beside the old master and the others, and quickly got up.Rong Tan's eyes were red with anxiety, but he didn't dare to stop. Lu Guangye made a way for him. He took Li Wei and Su Ling and rushed out from the group of half-corpses, but saw a half-corpse pulling him up. With the bow and arrow in his hand, the arrow hit Lu Guangye's back.

The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, and an arrow suddenly shot past his temple.Rong Tan wanted to turn around, but Su Ling said angrily: "Don't look back, go!"

Rong Tan didn't turn his head back, he rode his horse and ran through the messy street, and the half-corpse behind him was chasing him on a horse, and he didn't know how many streets he ran, when he suddenly saw Fan Xingzhi and Li Mu walking on the street, he yelled : "Li Mu!"

He rode a horse and leaped past, Li Mu and Fan Xingzhi stopped those half-corpses halfway, he was about to stop, but the horse suddenly lost control, neighed and raised its front hooves, and the three of them rolled off the horse's back down.Rong Tan got up immediately, but saw Su Ling lying on the ground covered in blood, an arrow had pierced his chest.

"Su Ling!"

He rushed over immediately, Su Ling smiled, but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Wei also crawled over, Rong Tan grabbed the sword on the ground and said, "Take care of Su Ling."

As he said that, he immediately went towards Fan Xingzhi and Li Mu. There were more than a dozen half-corpse chasing them, and Fan Xingzhi and Li Mu had some difficulty dealing with them.Li Mu roared: "Go back!"

Rong Tan didn't make a sound, and rushed forward holding the hilt of his sword.The kung fu of those half corpses was average, even he couldn't match them, but they were not human, they didn't know pain, and they seemed to have no fear when they rushed up, not afraid of death at all.Rong Tan was cut with a sword, his arm was in sharp pain, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.Li Mu wanted to rescue him, but was blocked by a half-corpse.Seeing that Rong Tan was about to become a ghost under the knife, an arrow suddenly shot over and hit the head of the half-corpse.

The arrow technique is so precise, who else could it be if it wasn't Su Ling!

Rong Tan grabbed the sword and got up immediately, Li Mu had already rushed to his side, protecting him tightly.Fan Xingzhi also rushed over, and the two of them stood in front of each other, guarding Rong Tan in the middle.

Immediately afterwards, a few more arrows were fired, and every arrow hit the vital point. The remaining two half-corpse seemed to realize something, and rushed towards Su Ling and Li Wei one after another.Previously, they didn't know that someone was shooting arrows, so they were careless. Now that they knew that Su Ling was shooting arrows, they learned to dodge, and rode straight towards Su Ling and the others.

"not good."

The three of them immediately chased after them, but no one could run as fast as a horse. Rong Tan saw Su Ling throwing arrows while spitting blood, and hurriedly shouted: "Su Ling, hide!"

Su Ling smiled at him, and the next moment, the half-corpse on the horse waved a long knife in his hand, and Su Ling's head flew out.Rong Tan shouted, and his mind went blank for an instant.

Li Wei was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground long ago, but he also escaped the catastrophe.Fan Xingzhi lunged forward, protected Li Wei under his body, swung his backhand, and the iron whip in his hand pulled one of the half corpses off the horse, the half corpse rolled to the ground, and was immediately stabbed to death by Li Mu.The last remaining half-corpse turned around on the horse, and before he had time to draw his sword, Li Mu jumped up and threw him down under the horse.The half-corpse bit Li Mu's neck with one bite.

"Li Mu!" Rong Tan rushed forward, and pressed the head of the half-corpse with his hand, but the half-corpse was biting tightly and refused to let go. Rong Tan was trembling from the blood on Li Mu's neck, and grabbed Li Mu's sword. , and scratched at the neck of the half corpse.What he grabbed was the blade, and the blade pierced his palm, but as if he didn't know the pain, he directly pressed the blade into the half-corpse's neck.

The blood of the half-corpse was bright red, it struggled a few times, twitched and then remained silent.Li Mu grabbed Rong Tan's hand and yelled several times, but Rong Tan didn't seem to hear it, and he let go of his hand after a long time.

His hand was already covered in blood, and a deep gash had been cut.Li Mu pushed his half-dead body away and hugged him.Rong Tan stared blankly at Li Mu's bitten neck, which was still bleeding. He didn't want to see Li Mu bleeding, so he stretched out his hand to cover the wound on his neck, and the blood of the two of them was mixed together.
