Taoist and dog

After walking a little further, such corpses can be seen everywhere.

"This place is in line with the situation of a plague, but..." Lu Qinghe paused, "So many people have died, it's not right if there is no corpse smell

It is. ”

In this city, the smell of burning can be smelled the most.

It was scorched, as if it had just experienced a fire here.

"Of course, it's also possible that this disease won't cause people to rot." Lu Qinghe has seen a lot of infected people. If this is the case, it is a new disease. For the ruler, every time this happens, why The easiest way to prevent the disease from spreading is to clean up the entire city, and then try to cure it.

Therefore, unless the people in this city can develop a restraint medicine, they will die sooner or later, and no one can save them.

Lu Qinghe swept across a similarly tragic corpse. In this case, Naoyao is better than Plague, and Naoyao at least has some hope.

"what!"

Xiao Rong suddenly tugged on his sleeve, quite forcefully, and Lu Qinghe's neckline opened a little, Xiao Rong must have discovered something again when he was so excited, Lu Qing straightened his collar and looked in the direction he was pointing.

Over there, there is a man.

Or rather, there is a living person.

Near the entrance of the alley, the man was crawling.

"Go and have a look."

Lu Qinghe's speed was not so fast. Like Xiao Rong, he kept staring at the person on the ground, his field of vision widened as he walked out of the alley, and the appearance of that person gradually appeared in front of him.

When Xiao Rong saw his situation, he couldn't even scream.

From a distance, it looks like crawling, but in fact, this person is crawling on the ground. He used his cracked nails to pick at the cracks in the blue bricks, and his ten fingers supported all his weight to climb forward. Where he crossed left several bloodstains, and the blood was immediately wiped off by the body, leaving only twisted traces.

"How could this be? I was outside at all just now..." When I walked out of the alley, it was as if I had come to another world. There were people everywhere, those who were sitting, those who were crawling like this, and those who were motionless and turned into corpses of.

Subtle groans and wailings continued continuously, piercing into the ears from all directions, these people were right beside them, but those voices seemed to be separated by water, mountains and rivers, so small that even Xiao Rong couldn't hear clearly.

The smaller it is, the creepier it sounds.

Xiao Rong turned around on the spot, and all he could see was the miserable situation. He always felt that his life was the most miserable in the world, and this kind of scene was comparable to the dream of that day.

'Did you hear that or...'

The wall is like a seal, isolating the sound from the people inside. Xiao Rong didn't notice it, and Lu Qinghe did the same. He didn't feel it at all until he crossed the wall. Lu Qinghe shook his head, which was a response to Xiao Rong. His attention was not on these people, but on a place farther away. He pouted his chin there, "Look."

Xiao Rong didn't know what to look at, everyone here was quite scary.

Lu Qinghe shook his head and pointed him at a person who was leaning against the wall.

"This is..." The man tilted his head and kept scratching his body with his hands. He had already scratched his skin to pieces, but he still didn't want to stop. Xiao Rong even saw that his hands were digging into his arms. In the meat on the table, some minced meat was brought out.

Xiao Rong swallowed his saliva.

He wanted to throw up.

"I hope I guessed wrong, but, unfortunately." Lu Qinghe shrugged, probably because of bad luck today, all expectations fell through, including this, "Those corpses just now have one thing in common, that is, fingers There is blood on them, and looking at their wounds, it is not a knife wound or a sharp knife, but it looks like they dug it out by themselves, as expected..."

It was fine if Lu Qinghe didn't say anything, but when he said it, Xiao Rong suddenly felt pain and itching.

So these people are all self-torture?

It doesn't count if the skin is scratched, and you have to pick yourself up to death.

The flesh on Xiao Rong's face was twitching, and his lips were pursed into a bloodless straight line.

The more he thought about it, the more obvious the painful and itchy feeling was, as if something was crawling on his body, Xiao Rong shrank his shoulders, and when he moved his neck suddenly felt pain, he quickly patted it with his hands, There was nothing when I took it off, but the pain in my neck was still there.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the sound, Lu Qinghe looked over.

Xiao Rong grinned, and pointed to his neck, expressing that he felt something was touching him, but he didn't see anything.

Lu Qinghe raised his eyebrows. He pulled Xiao Rong's collar and looked in. There was nothing on Xiao Rong's neck except for a red handprint. There was no blood, no wound, and no corpse of insects. For fear of negligence, he took the collar with him. I picked it up and looked at it.

'Anything? Xiao Rong asked quickly after Lu Qing let go.

"No."

Xiao Rong moved his shoulders uncomfortably, and sure enough, it was because of them that they were affected.

"Then..." Xiao Rong shrank his neck and looked in, "Should we still go inside?" '

"It's all like this, can it be worse inside?"

What Lu Qinghe said meant that he would continue to walk in. Xiao Rong jumped up and down twice, but the itchy feeling was still there. If he didn't leave here, he probably wouldn't get better. He simply didn't look at those people and focused on Look at the road, or fix your gaze on Lu Qinghe's back.

This made him feel better, and the pain was relieved.

It was probably almost at the center of the city, and more and more people gathered, and the situation was the same. After watching too much, I didn't feel numb, but just became more and more worried.

Lu Qinghe tried to communicate with these people, but they didn't respond at all except sitting there scratching, and they didn't even look at each other. The two of them went from dawn to dusk without gaining anything.

There is no one to work and no one to light the lamp. After nightfall, there is only darkness in the city.

"Go back first, and come back during the day." Although he and Xiao Rong don't really need light, the situation in this city is too unusual, and they don't have a clue at all. If they continue to stay, the result will be bad, so Lu Qinghe decided to leave first. .

Xiao Rong was waiting for this sentence, and after Lu Qingheyi finished speaking, he immediately turned around.

"Don't go back the same way. This place is quite close to the north gate. Let's go through the north gate." To go out from the original gate, they have to pass through those people and corpses. The north gate is very close. Lu Qinghe wants to see The situation here is also afraid of something going wrong.Xiao Rong took the food with him with him, but the worst thing he could do was sleep in the wild.

"There are a lot fewer people here." Unlike when they came here, there were people warming up near the city gate. This side is very quiet, and there are fewer people and corpses. "Why don't they come here?"

The roads are the same, the situation in the city is the same, why is there no one here?

The cleaner the place, the easier it is for dirt to hide.

Lu Qinghe hesitated for a moment, whether he wanted to take a look here first.

Just when he was struggling between leaving and continuing to walk, suddenly there was a soft voice...

"You two..."

"Someone talking?" Lu Qinghe immediately asked Xiao Rong.

Xiao Rong is also puzzled, he seems to have heard it, but there are too many illusions here, and he is not sure.

"Over here, look over here."

This time I heard clearly.

The two found the place where the sound came from at the same time.

Behind the courtyard wall in front, a girl with pigtails was waving at them.

The little girl was only about ten years old, and she was different from the people I saw in the city. Her face was not gray and white, nor was she thin like a skeleton. He looked at them timidly with his eyes exposed.

Lu Qinghe walked over, he walked unhappily, because he felt that this little girl could scare him away at any time.

Every time Lu Qinghe took a step, the little girl stepped back a little. When Lu Qinghe passed by, the little girl had already shrunk to the other side of the wall. She shrank into a ball and said cautiously, "You can't stay there. If you are seen, you will be killed." Those who were dragged away could only stick to the wall and walk in the dark..."

"Dragged away? Dragged away by what?"

The little girl stopped talking, and she hugged herself even tighter.

Seeing that she was afraid, Lu Qinghe changed the question, "Are you from the mouth of the river?"

The little girl didn't answer Lu Qinghe's question, but instead asked, "Are you... are you alive?"

This question was quite weird, Lu Qing laughed together, "How can a living person walk, and how can they talk to you?"

"The people in the city can talk and walk, but my parents say they are no longer alive."

Parents?

The two looked at each other, and Lu Qinghe asked again, "Are you with your parents?"

The little girl looked at him hesitantly, and nodded slowly.

"Are your parents okay? Are you not like those people?"

The little girl shook her head.

"Then... can you take us to meet them?"

The little girl didn't move.

"We are living people. We are not injured or sick. We just happened to pass by and wanted to find a place to rest. I didn't expect this place to become like this. There are people like that everywhere, and it's still dark. I can't see it anymore, I can't get out..."

Lu Qinghe has a very bad temper, he coaxed a little girl so patiently, this surprised Xiao Rong as much as he saw the corpse for the first time.

Shouldn't Lu Qinghe ring the little girl's collar and threaten her to take them to meet their family?

But thinking about it, it didn't fit Lu Qinghe's personality. When they first met, didn't Lu Qinghe put on a good face and tricked him back.

"We are also scared, so please help me, I want to see your parents, ask how you can leave, and what's going on here. After we ask clearly, we can go outside to find someone to save you."

Lu Qinghe has a face that can deceive all living beings, just by looking at it, he feels that he must be a good person, so I don't know if Lu Qinghe's words are effective, or his face convinced the little girl, anyway, she hesitated and nodded Yes, "Okay..."

The little girl got up from the ground and waved to them after making sure that there was no one else around.

The little girl was skinny, but she ran very fast. She led them through several small alleys, and finally stopped in front of a door, which she opened cautiously.
