can't go wild

Miwang Township is neither big nor small.Xing Zhou stood on a soil slope and looked down condescendingly, and found that the structure of Miwang Township was probably a circle, a circular city. After it was burned, the circle became scorched black, like a black hole.

The huge black hole is like a wound on the earth, among the ruined walls, there are countless figures frozen on the ground.They all showed the posture of escaping to Miwang's hometown, constantly radiating outwards.

These charred corpses were everywhere, some stretched out their hands as if they were still calling for help, some curled up into a ball with no limbs visible, and some half of their bodies had already protruded out of the circle.And those who escaped from Miwang Township by chance, and were still burned to death outside because their bodies were caught on fire, were like ink dots accidentally splashed outside.

What kind of hell scene is this? These people flee desperately, but they seem to be caught by a pair of invisible hands and crushed to death in this scorched earth.

Looking around, Xing Zhou was sure that the place where he was standing should be where Chu Lian was standing that night, because the only slope outside Miwang Township had the best view, and he could witness the whole tragedy.

Afterwards, he walked towards Miwang Township.The deeper you go, the deeper the degree of burning, the ground is thick with gray and black, and there are no footprints of wild animals.

Xing Zhou originally thought that there would be no living people in Miwang Township, but soon, he heard a faint cry for help.He followed the sound and found a man in a collapsed house.

The man had extensive burns on his body, his facial features could no longer be seen clearly, and his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak.He found that Xing Zhou passed by, with both fear and hope in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was saying in his mouth.

Xing Zhou tried to mention Chu Lian's name, and seeing that he seemed to have a reaction, he immediately fed him a small white pill and injected him with nutritional injections, holding him breathless.

This man survived for half a month in the ruins, which shows the tenacity of life, but he still fell into a coma after taking the medicine.Xing Zhou didn't wake him up forcibly, fearing that he would die if he couldn't hold his breath, and waited for him to wake up, so he continued to investigate in Miwang Township.

The special location of Miwang Township and the fire must be related.He recalled the scene he had overlooked on the slope just now, and frowned slightly.

This fire is not so much revenge as it is more like some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

On the other side, Aino was still immersed in the story Zong Mian told him.

The story is so long that it would be an understatement to say it, but there are not enough twists and turns for an outsider to understand.He couldn't help but wonder whether it was more terrifying to face Chu Lian and Lu Ye, or it was more terrifying to watch his relatives die in front of him because of his lack of ability over a long period of time.

Zong Mian said: "We have to admit our failure."

Aino is still young, and even his childhood experience is very different, but when he thinks about it carefully, he has been protected all the time, and he still can't deeply feel the frustration.And when he met Xing Zhou, Xing Zhou had already been polished by the wind and rain into his current appearance, which was enough to shelter him from the wind and rain.

About this matter, Aino did not hide it from Cassia.After hearing this, Jue Ming couldn't help but be speechless. He thought that the two of them had something to hide, but he didn't expect to keep it for so long.

At the end, he sighed: "As expected of the man I have my eyes on..."

Aino: "Huh?"

Jue Ming: "Hey, don't get me wrong, how could Uncle snatch a man from you! I mean, when I saw Xing Zhou in the hospital, I thought I could become an ally with him!"

Aino: "Oh."

Cassia: "Cub, trust uncle!"

Don't worry, Xing Zhou also despises a chatterbox.

Caesar defended for a long time, and finally realized that Aino did it on purpose, but his nephew rarely joked with him, and he couldn't help crying with joy, feeling that the relationship between the two had finally made rapid progress.

Aino didn't understand his brain circuit. Hearing that he suddenly used a tone of comfort, he could only think that elves had already left the category of humans, and that different races could not communicate effectively.

Then it's time to get to the point.

Aino made himself a cup of instant black coffee, and changed to a position that made him comfortable and easy to think about—that is, lying on a rocking chair.The question now is not what Xing Zhou and Zong Mian planned before, but what Xing Zhou can discover after he goes to Luye.

Is he safe there?

How will he come back in the end?

These are unknowns.

Xiangye asked Zong Mian to send him all the investigation materials he and Xing Zhou had done on Lu Ye over the years. While reading it, he checked with Caesar Ming, and finally Caesar Ming brought Chu Xiuxiu.

Chu Xiuxiu had just started school, and half of her blood was knocked out by the preliminary exam. She waited anxiously for her grades, and then received news from Cassia that Lu Ye had changed.She felt her body was split into two halves, one half was an ordinary high school student, worrying about her studies; the other half was a member of a mysterious organization, working hard for world peace.

"It's really too difficult for me." Chu Xiuxiu said.

"I see you are very happy." Jue Ming complained.

"What are you talking about! You have changed into such a young body, and you still hide it from me? Aren't we fellow villagers? And you are obviously about the same age as me now, why don't you need to go to school?" Chu Xiuxiu said.

"Because I'm a genius." Cassia said proudly.

Chu Xiuxiu rolled her eyes violently.

When I think that my English is likely to fail, it hurts my heart.She couldn't figure it out, since she came here from Luye, she had already left her hometown. Learning Chinese and mathematics is hard enough, why should she learn the bird language from a Laoshizi country?

What the hell language is that?

Chu Xiuxiu was exhausted physically and mentally, but she had to continue to devote herself to the great cause of saving the world.She carefully recalled the changes in Luye before she left, and she also mentioned Miwangxiang.

"My father may have been stimulated by you, so he wanted to make the last effort to establish Miwang Township." Chu Xiuxiu said.

"Why does this involve me again? I am obviously so weak, pitiful, and helpless." Jue Ming hugged himself distressedly.Aino ignored him and asked, "Mi Wangxiang, what do you mean?"

Chu Xiuxiu: "Ah... nothing special, right? I also asked my father, but he didn't say anything."

Miwang, just in the literal sense, means full of vision, and there is really no clear direction.Could it be that as far as the eye can see is my territory?

Aino thought for a while, then put this question aside for a while, and continued to ask: "In the years since Chu Lian left, has anyone mentioned him?"

Chu Xiuxiu: "Very rarely, I mentioned it occasionally, that is to say, even the name of the one who stole the key is almost forgotten."

Aino: "Talk about Mi Wangxiang with me."

Chu Xiuxiu didn't know why he was suddenly interested in this. Miwang Township was well established by his father, but it seemed to be no different from the cities that appeared briefly before.Moreover, after her father died, the place was quickly occupied and divided up by other people... Chu Xiuxiu felt a little sad, then cheered up, and told the story of Mi Wangxiang.

Tuozhen is actually only ten years older than Yuan, and he is in his prime.But Chu Xiuxiu could see that her father had aged rapidly these years, especially after Yuan left.

Chu Xiuxiu watched Yuan leave with her own eyes, watching him disappear into the horizon at night carrying the package his mother had prepared for him.That night, the lights in Tuozhen's tent were also lit all night.

Later, Chu Xiuxiu understood that her father actually knew everything.Father seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and his temper was no longer as grumpy as before. All the emotions he showed were taken back, and he became silent, but there was a hint of desperate madness in his eyes.

He began to build Miwang Township.

"If there is one point worth noting..." Chu Xiuxiu recalled carefully, "it should be the location of Miwang Township. It is actually a bit far from where we live, and there are not all suitable places closer, but My father just wanted to choose a place, and he didn't know why."

"Did anything strange happen during this?" Aino asked again.

"Is there? No... right?" Chu Xiuxiu really couldn't remember for a while.

"Where is that place you mentioned?" Caesar asked.

"It's the place where red fruits grow." Chu Xiuxiu said.

"Red fruit? The one that is red and juicy, looks like an apple and tastes like a juicy cherry?" Caesar asked again.

Chu Xiuxiu was stunned by his series of adjectives, and hurriedly said: "That's it! It's an oasis there, the environment is relatively good on the plains, most of the things produced are not poisonous, and they are delicious."

Jue Ming: "I know. The first time I met Chu Lian, he was beaten in the mud because of a red fruit. He was miserable. And it is said that a long, long, long time ago, there was actually a lake there. In Luye, the environment is not as good as it is now... Huh?"

After a pause, he realized it himself, the lake?Does this point to something?

Chu Xiuxiu had never heard of the rumor, so Jue Ming explained: "This rumor was told to me by a very old homeless man, it should only be known to the older generation, even in Luye, not many people know about it. "

At this time, Chu Xiuxiu received another call and had to cut off contact with them.

After a while, she came back again, with a solemn voice, "Ping came to see me, and there was also a house seizure incident in Hanhai, but it was unsuccessful, and he was sent to a mental hospital instead. He told me to pay attention to safety recently, There may be more than one instance."

Jue Ming hurriedly said: "Didn't Chu Lian always send someone to secretly monitor Zai Zai and the boss before? I'm afraid he has already discovered you. Be careful and don't be brave."

Chu Xiuxiu: "Okay, I have to have a good chat with Aping, hang up first."

After Chu Xiuxiu went offline, Jue Ming contacted Jian Hanqi and others one by one, but the news he got was not very good.Even Mingchuan was not peaceful. Although no one was killed, there were different versions of ghost stories, which were circulated on local forums.

Aino frowned, and drank the last sip of coffee, only to find that the coffee was already cold.His stomach hurt a little, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
