Youth Tour

Chapter 15: Fog Tracking

Qin Huai stood at the entrance of Zhiyuan Village, hesitating for a moment.

There is no other reason, this huge village is actually lifeless at this moment!I saw that the doors and windows of every house were tightly closed, and no living person was seen.The domestic chickens and dogs were left unattended, but lay half dead on the ground, as if they were dying.

Qin Huai swallowed, and walked slowly towards the village.

There are obvious ruts on the path at the head of the village, and it is obvious that the carriage that Doctor Fang was riding entered the village from this road.

Qin Huai followed the ruts all the way to the west, and stopped in front of a family after taking a cup of tea.She had already seen Doctor Fang's carriage, which was parked behind this room, half of the carriage was exposed.

Qin Huai hesitated for a moment, pushed open the courtyard door, bypassed the baskets and hoes scattered on the ground, and knocked on the door.The wooden door seemed to be old for a long time, and the sound it made was like bamboo joints bursting, which made people tremble.

After a long time, the door of the room opened slightly, revealing the face of a young girl.Seeing that the little girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, although her complexion was sallow and thin, she still appeared to be full of life. She asked in a low voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Qin Huai smiled: "I'm looking for Doctor Fang, is he there?"

The little girl shook her head: "Doctor Fang went to another house to see a doctor, so he is not at our house."

"Sick?" Qin Huai raised his brows, "Are many people in the village sick?"

The little girl nodded: "Doctor Fang said that there are a lot of people who are sick, so we are not allowed to go out at will in these two days, and we are not allowed to eat indiscriminately."

Qin Huai nodded, then pointed to the back of the room: "Is that Dr. Fang's carriage?"

The little girl leaned forward slightly, as if she wanted to see the direction Qin Huai was pointing at, and then she smiled, showing two dimples on her cheeks: "Yes, Doctor Fang parked the car here, and said to show it to everyone." Get sick."

At this moment, she opened the door a little, and Qin Huai could see that the little girl was not tall, and she was wearing a floral dress.The room behind her was so dark that the windows seemed to be closed with curtains.

Qin Huai asked again: "You are the only one in your family? Is there anyone else?"

The little girl lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Daddy went to the mountain and didn't come back, and Aniang was sick, so Anan took care of Aniang alone."

Qin Huai made her feel sad for no reason, paused, as if comforting her: "Everything will be fine."

The little girl raised her head, half understanding, her eyes wide open.

Qin Huai smiled at her, turned and left.

The situation in this village is roughly the same, Qin Huai visited a few more families, it was nothing more than the head of the family went to the mountain and did not return, leaving behind old and weak women and children, sick and dying, terrified, struggling to survive.

Qin Huai felt unhappy, and unconsciously walked from the main road to the small road, and gradually there were more green trees and flowers in front of him.Qin Huai's eyes lit up, and she took a deep breath, but then frowned. I don't know if it was an illusion, but she actually smelled a rotten smell.

Qin Huai was moved, and quickly walked in the direction of the smell, and soon left the path and walked through the forest beside the road.

Suddenly, Qin Huai heard a faint sound of water.

Qin Huai felt his breathing becoming short of breath, his heart beating like a drum, and an unbelievable thought gradually flooded his mind.She trotted towards it, the closer she ran, the more humid the air became, and the more intense the rotten smell.

Qin Huai did not realize that the road under her feet was getting higher and higher, and she was already on the back mountain at this moment!

Chengdu government office.

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and stood in front of the window, dazed.

What Li Bancheng said to him just now echoed in his ears.

"Be careful with that young man next to you."

"Her origin is by no means that simple."

"If you don't believe me, you might as well ask your elders about the Xie family 20 years ago."

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes, only to feel that his thoughts were chaotic, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while.He didn't know anything about Xie's family, but he had heard a little bit about it, but it wasn't at his own house.Just because the word Xie Jia is forbidden in the Zhan family.

He clearly remembered that when he was young, an uncle was drunk and yelled:

"The Xie family came to ask for my life! The Xie family came to ask for my life! They will not let me go!"

Since then, he has never seen this uncle again, but the scream left a deep impression on the young Zhan Zhao, which cannot be erased.He went to ask his father, but his father told him in a stern voice that he was not allowed to mention the word Xie's family in the future, which was a forbidden word in their family.

After entering the rivers and lakes, I also heard someone talking about the Xie family 20 years ago in a teahouse.But it was about Xie Zhengdong, a big devil from the Xie family. It is said that this person practiced evil skills, harmed the world, and did all kinds of evil. Later, he was finally killed under the cooperation of several families.

There are exhibitors among the several companies that have joined forces.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed his temples, as if he wanted to put all these troubles behind him.

Indeed, the top priority now is to find out the case of Tian Shoucheng's death.Whether it is from the orders issued by the court or his friendship with Tian Shoucheng, this is what he must do.As for Qin Huai, Zhan Zhao sighed, whether he has anything to do with the Xie family or not, it has nothing to do with him.

Whether he is from the Xie family or not, he is always his brother.

Zhiyuan Village.

Back Mountain.

Qin Huai had found the small river and began to walk upstream along the river.

The water in the river didn't look unusual, although it was mixed with sand, it wasn't obviously dirty.What would cause the strong smell of rotting corpses here?

As Qin Huai walked, he kept thinking and breathing less and less.The smell was really not pleasant, after smelling it for a long time, Qin Huai even felt a little dizzy.She felt a little regretful, she should have dragged Zhan Zhao's body no matter what when she was leaving, now that she was alone, if something happened to her, she might not even have a body collector.

It has to be said that at this moment Qin Huai already had a trace of fear in his heart.

There is no one in the back mountain, only dense but messy trees, and clumps of shrubs growing on the ground, making it difficult for Qin Huai to move.Occasionally, when the wind blows, Qin Huai can hear the "rustling" sound of the treetops touching each other.Usually, he didn't notice it, but in this situation, Qin Huai felt that the sound was like the moaning of a dying old man, strange and desolate.

Qin Huai's palms were sweating unconsciously, and his clothes were already wet, sticking to his body, making him extremely uncomfortable.

With a sound of "Kala", Qin Huai accidentally stepped on a dead branch, making a crisp breaking sound.Qin Huai's nerves had long been tense, but at this moment she was trembling with fright. There was soft soil under her feet, and there were tall bushes beside her.Qin Huai subconsciously stepped aside, and stepped into the bushes with his left foot.

Unexpectedly, there is a slope behind the bushes!

Qin Huai tilted his body and rolled down the slope before he could even utter an exclamation!

Qilipu.

post station.

Bai Yutang arranged for the successor Fu Yin to live in the post house, and checked the guards and hidden guards carefully, and if there were no mistakes, he had time to sit down and eat.He sighed for a long time, and felt his whole body was weak, more tired than fighting Zhan Zhao for [-] rounds.

The food on the table was provided by the inn, presumably knowing that he was an official from the capital, it was quite rich.Fried fried shrimp in Taihelou, pork ribs and noodles in Kuiyuanguan, vegetable and meat buns in Youyicun, salt pieces from Qinghefang Wang Runxing, steamed fish balls with ribs in Deyuelou, crispy lotus root, Taipingfang Alley The deep-fried eight pieces are served with a pot of aged Zhuyeqing from Xinghua Village.I don't know when they made it, but it's still steaming.

Bai Yutang's mood finally improved, and he was picking up his chopsticks to choose fat to eat, when there was a knock on the door suddenly, and the voice of Yumo, the book boy of the governor, came from outside the door: "Catcher Bai, my lord is here to invite you."

Resigned to his fate, Bai Yutang put down his chopsticks, opened the door in response, and asked Yu Mo, "Your family doesn't eat well, why did you ask me to come over?"

Yu Mo grinned: "My lord said eating alone would be boring, so I invite Bai Bai to go with me."

Bai Yutang thought for a while, supported the door frame with one hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Go and tell your lord, I'll be right there."

Yu Mo responded, and ran away bouncing around.

Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and thought to himself when would he be tall in such a day?

Just as he was thinking, there was a "thumping" sound outside the door, and the pigeon spun in the air and landed on Bai Yutang's arm.

Bai Yutang took out the note from the bamboo tube, scanned it briefly, and was startled.

It read: Qin Huai is missing, come quickly.

The author has something to say: Well, poor Qin Huai is missing again.A child who remembers to eat but not to hit, is too confident to suffer this kind of hardship, Xiao Zhan, you are busy again~~~
