Cannon fodder beauty master awakens

The two left early the next day, but they still had no time to return to Longxi before the sun set.

The road outside Yuzhou City is flat, with rocks and weeds growing on the left and right sides, blown by the wind in the twilight, like ghosts and monsters coveting pedestrians in the dark, hiding countless malicious eyes.

They rode their horses forward for a while among the overgrown wormwood, and saw the dim yellow light of a few candle lamps in the twilight from a distance, hanging faintly in midair, just like the underworld fire written in the scriptures.

"It seems that I still can't hide..." Jiang Yi sighed softly, "I'm afraid I'm going to stay here tonight."

Pei Xiangyun hesitated and said, "Can't you continue on your way? If you speed up, you should be able to reach Longxi before the third watch, right?"

Jiang Yi reined in the reins, and glanced at him when he heard the words: "It's not that you haven't stayed in Longxi in your previous life, don't you know that it's dangerous to drive at night? Whether it's a sudden rainstorm, dust or wild animals, it can kill you. "

After he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed meaningfully: "I see, are you afraid..."

"I'm not afraid!"

Pei Xiangyun suddenly raised his voice, as if he was anxious to prove something to someone, and immediately ran to Jiang Yi at a high speed.

Jiang Yi took his time and said sarcastically, "If you're afraid, just say it. It's not ashamed. You still have time to go home, and I don't know who said to protect me."

Pei Xiangyun's ear was hot, so he kept silent.

In fact, he was not afraid, but had a strange premonition in his heart.

It was as if he somehow had a connection with the shadowy village in front of him, clamoring for him not to approach casually.

Why is this again?

No matter in his previous life or in this life, he has never been here, and he has never even heard of the name "Tongzhong Village". Why does he reject this village so much?

When he couldn't figure it out, the two had already reached the entrance of Tongzhong Village.

Perhaps because the village has been infested by the Uz people, the houses look crooked.In the corner of the yard, you can see the packed baggage, and you should be ready to escape at any time.

And right now, apart from the dim lights behind the window paper of every household, there is no life in the whole village.

Jiang Yi got off his horse and walked slowly towards the village, when he suddenly heard a grunt from the person behind him.

"What's wrong?" He looked back at Pei Xiangyun, "You were wrong from the beginning."

Pei Xiangyun rubbed his forehead and shook his head slowly.

He didn't know why, since he stepped into the boundary of Tongzhong Village, the pain that had tortured him for two lifetimes came to him again, and it aroused an uncontrollable irritability for no reason, which made him uncontrollably want to put away all the things that he didn't like. Things shredded.

Just when he fell into this vicious cycle of violent emotions, Jiang Yi's voice suddenly appeared in his ears, pulling him out of the sea of ​​blood.

Pei Xiangyun exhaled lightly, his face pale: "I..."

He tentatively spit out a word, but after thinking for a while, he still didn't finish.

There are more important things to upset the teacher right now, so he should stop adding to the mess.

A dilapidated wooden door next to it was pushed open with a "squeak", and an old voice accompanied by the sound of "cracking" iron chains: "Who are you?"

Jiang Yi said warmly to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, we are a passing business traveler, seeing the night getting dark but we can't find a place to rest, can we stay here for one night?"

The old woman looked him up and down for a moment with her cloudy eyes, then suddenly smiled sullenly: "Is it really a passing businessman?"

Jiang Yi nodded lightly, and scanned the furnishings in the room with the light behind her and the crack in the door, and then looked away calmly.

The old woman wrinkled her face and untied the iron chain hanging on the door with trembling hands.

The stale and musty smell in the room hit his face, making Jiang Yi subconsciously cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve robe.Pei Xiangyun tied the two horses in the yard, and returned to Jiang Yi's side in rare silence.

There is only one table, one stove, and three chairs in the room.The table was full of oil stains and dirt, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

The old woman filled a bowl of porridge with thin soup and little water from a broken iron pot on the stove, tremblingly about to bring it to the table, but she staggered and fell down before walking a few steps.Jiang Yi quickly grabbed her wrist, so as not to let her head hit the table.

There was a stiff smile on the old woman's face, and she slowly set the porcelain bowl upright.

Just as Jiang Yi was about to let go of her wrist, he suddenly noticed that the skin under his palm seemed to be a little abnormal.

It's like being cut by something.

He withdrew his hand calmly and thanked the old woman for the porridge with a smile.The old woman rolled her eyes sluggishly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The village chief said that he should treat the distinguished guests from the city well."

After she finished speaking, she paused stiffly for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the back of the house.

Jiang Yi casually stirred the bowl of porridge with a thin soup and little water with a wooden spoon, but found a few black spots in a piece of boiled rice, about the size of rice grains, which were particularly conspicuous among the white.

Pei Xiangyun sat beside him and said softly, "What is this?"

Jiang Yi shook his head and put the wooden spoon back: "Probably not a good thing, you can't eat it."

Pei Xiangyun looked down at the cracks on the wooden table, hesitatingly said: "Why don't we go, this place is really..."

He swallowed, not knowing how to describe his current feeling to Jiang Yi.

The slightly cold fingertips caressed his cheek suddenly, and he raised his eyes suddenly as if startled, but saw that there seemed to be an inquisitive look in the man's eyes: "Just now you didn't look right, and your face was a little blue, what's wrong?" ?”

Jiang Yi seldom saw Pei Xiangyun in such a distraught state.

In the past, this wolf cub acted like a god who blocked and killed gods and Buddhas, but now he was jittery and restless, as if he was really frightened by something.

Pei Xiangyun's body stopped in place a little stiffly, as if he was reluctant to part with the hard-won intimacy between the two, but the man withdrew his hand the next moment.

"This place is really unusual..." Jiang Yi said lightly, "But I have to come, and there is nothing I can do. Do you regret it?"

Originally, when Pei Xiangyun said that he would go through fire and water for himself, Jiang Yi still felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, but now he had to face up to the situation in front of him.

This Tongzhong Village is full of weirdness.Since outsiders will be welcomed in, the people behind the scenes must have great confidence in keeping them.

It's just that he picked the wrong guy.

There was a trace of coldness on Jiang Yi's face.

The war between the two countries is inevitable, but he hates burning the flames of war on civilians.

There are only two rooms in this simple house, the old woman entered one just now, and the other room is probably reserved for them.

There is no bed in the room, only straw is used to make a floor on the floor, and the brown-gray ground below can be vaguely seen through the gaps in the straw.

Jiang Yi sat on the side of the straw bed and raised his chin to Pei Xiangyun: "Go to sleep..."

Pei Xiangyun shied away from him: "No, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense..."

Jiang Yi couldn't hide his tired look, he was too lazy to argue with him about these useless things: "Sleep if you are told."

Pei Xiangyun heard that he didn't seem to be in a good mood right now, so he shut his mouth and lay down on the piece of dry grass obediently with his clothes on.

He usually doesn't fall asleep easily, but today he was very strange. He was clearly in such a strange place, but he fell into a drowsy dream almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

What bothered him tonight was no longer the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, but a simple palace.

The dome of the palace was very high, but there seemed to be a profound coercion pressing heavily on his head, making him almost breathless.

Pei Xiangyun stretched out his hand towards the dome helplessly, but was surprised to find that his fingers were short and short, not as generous and powerful as he had imagined.

what is this?

He turned his head to the side with some doubts, but found that there were countless children with immature faces lying around him.

Although these children are not very old, their facial features can faintly tell that they are different from the Han people they usually see.The brow and nasal bones are high, the complexion is fair, and some people even have light-colored hair.

Pei Xiangyun struggled to get up, but his limbs were exhausted, and he fell down before he could sit upright.

He wanted to get up again in disbelief, but a young male voice sounded next to his ears: "How did that go?"

"Report to Your Highness..." Another female voice sounded from the side, "Everything is ready, and you will be able to accept the results in a while."

"Very good……"

The young male voice didn't know what to say again, but he couldn't hear clearly as if he was stuffed in a mask.

Pei Xiangyun pawed at the intricately patterned floor tiles, and slowly moved his body forward, trying to hear what the man said, but when he passed a lying child, he was terrified——

The child's lips were covered with white foam, and two lines of blood flowed from under the eyes and nose, and had dried up into two dark brown marks on the pale face.

He had thought the children were asleep.

Pei Xiangyun was a little panicked, he didn't know what to do for a while, when he was hesitating, the heavy carved wooden door not far away was slowly pushed open.

He quickly got down on the spot, pretending to be in a coma, but squinted to see the two figures approaching, checked the dead children around him, and then stopped in front of him.

"Is this the only way to live?" The young man's question was vague.

"Yes, Your Highness..." the woman replied, "Coincidentally, his status is unusual."

Pei Xiangyun's consciousness gradually became dizzy, and he couldn't hear what they said afterwards.He tried hard to open his eyes, but gradually sank into the boundless darkness as if being pulled into a swamp, as if he could never wake up again.

The man who couldn't see his face suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck, lifting him up.He couldn't breathe well, and he tried desperately to break free from his shackles, but it was still in vain.

"Pei Xiangyun."

"Pei Xiangyun!"

He suddenly woke up from the dream, and the clothes on his back were wet a lot.

The person beside him seemed to be snorting, and Pei Xiangyun quickly looked up, only to realize that he was unconsciously clutching Jiang Yi's wrist tightly, with such ruthlessness that it seemed that he wanted to pinch the wrist bone.

"Why are you crazy?" Jiang Yi cursed in a low voice, "Let go..."

Pei Xiangyun hurriedly let go: "I'm sorry, I..."

However, his lips suddenly covered the other's slightly cold fingertips, and a wave of heat rose from the base of his ears without warning.

"Don't make a sound..."

Jiang Yi put his index finger on his lips, and said softly, "Did you hear it? Someone is crying."
