The moon was sparse, the sound of cicadas chirping and the looming screams of refugees drifting in the wind in the distance formed a strange and harmonious movement.

Yu Tianyou held onto the gravel on the hillside with one hand, and the speed of his feet continued to increase, and he finally fell to the ground before he could no longer control his body.

"Cough cough cough!"

As soon as he came down the mountain, Yu Tianyou lay down directly in the thick grass.

He gasped for air, and the smell of rusty blood filled his chest, which made him ignore the rotten smell spreading in the air at the moment.

The abrasions on his palms and the bleeding wounds on his body kept him from fainting for the time being.

Turning over, he lay on his back and looked at the sky with the full moon again. Yu Tianyou felt confused again in his heart.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, the dried blood on the young man's face was washed away by the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Where should he go from now on?

The blood-stained kitchen knife that had dried up on his waist seemed to be a constant reminder of what he had done last night.

He killed someone.

A family of four.

When his grandfather was hungry and sick, these people ate the food they got through reporting, and even slept with a satisfied smile on their lips.

And when his grandfather looked at him before he died, his eyes were still sad and miserable, and those cloudy eyes suddenly lit up again when he finally looked back.

He held his hand tightly and repeated: "Grandpa is not hungry, God bless, eat more."

The sounds in his mouth gradually disappeared along with the light in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianyou couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, grinning and whimpering like a homeless injured wolf cub.

He hadn't had time to bury his grandfather's body.

The grievance, fear, and guilt in his chest made the young man experience for the first time what it means to have his whole heart soaked in bitter water.

From now on, he will have no home.

After lying like this for a long time, Yu Tianyou suddenly raised his hand and wiped his wet face again, blowing his nose in order to cheer up again.

But as soon as the boy took two steps, he was kicked by some obstacle under his feet and fell down.

"ah!"

The moment he fell, Yu Tianyou was lying on the ground. When he raised his head, he saw the pale face of a dead man. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream.

Yu Tianyou immediately rolled away from the corpse and fled, but before he could take a few steps back, the strange cold touch under his hand made him subconsciously look down.

Another half of a bruised face was exposed in the soil, and his hand was still on the opponent's unblinking eyes. Once again, Yu Tianyou was so frightened that he screamed out of his wits!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

This time, Yu Tianyou jumped up directly, his body stiffened and his eyes widened.

At this moment, the sound of crickets around him seemed particularly harsh after his scream.

The surroundings were extremely quiet. Yu Tianyou had a pale face and trembled as he looked at the familiar environment around him.

He was convinced that this was the foothills of Fucheng.

He didn't go to the wrong place.

However, when he could clearly see the surrounding situation under the faint moonlight, Yu Tianyou's calves became completely soft.

Why?

Has this place suddenly become a mass grave?

***

In Yunzhou City, Wang Mansion.

"That is to say...is there any path that can go around and go down the mountain?" Mayberry asked tentatively.

Looking at Mei Bei's little eyes that said "I know, don't lie to me", it was like a cat picking at the door frame that wants to cause trouble but is cautiously testing its owner.

"Yes, but most of the trails are dangerous and dangerous, and generally no one would choose them at will. Moreover, they all lead to the interior of the pass."

When Wang Beigu said the first half of the sentence, he saw Mei You's eyes light up as if he had thought of something, so he also said the second half.

Sure enough, everyone who heard the second half of this sentence felt bad.

"Is there no direct connection outside the customs?"

Mei You asked reluctantly.

Wang Beigu frowned, maybe there was, at least they didn't know about it.

Seeing this, Mei Bei felt that the time was about right, so she said, "Dad, didn't you know a policeman before? They seemed to have mentioned that some strange faces would often appear in the government office, and then they would disappear soon after.

Those people appeared and disappeared suddenly, seeming to appear and disappear suddenly in the government office. The prefect did not ask any questions. However, according to the police officer, he could tell that they had accents from Hanzhou and Xianyao~

"

What Mayberry said was not very detailed, it was as if she just overheard it and just remembered it now.

As soon as she finished speaking, the other two people's eyes focused on Mayberry.

Mei Bei coughed twice more, and then asked one more question as if she had an open mind: "Do you think... is there any secret passage in the government office? The kind that leads directly to the outside of the customs?"

·

"There is a place in the northeast corner of the government office that leads directly to the outside of the customs."

Wang Beigu listened to what Mei Berry said a few nights ago. Although he wanted to ask Mei Berry a few more questions at the time, it was true that Mei Berry would treat it as if he didn't know.

She made many mistakes and narrowed the scope to the government office. Wouldn't it be impolite to ask her again?

Finally, Wang Beigu and Mei Pei promised that if there was really any news, they would send someone to inform them.

As for how they came to notify——

At this time, Meiberry opened the closed window of her room and looked at the guy squatting on the wall of her house, dressed in night clothes and even with two holes in his mask.

At this moment, Mayberry really wanted to say that maybe they weren't that ripe either.

There are only two black holes on her face. Doesn’t this look down on her too much?

She didn't recognize the person in front of her at all, but she almost screamed out of fright.

Fortunately, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, Mei Bei knew that he was from Jiubaoxuan.

"Then, when are we going to run away?"

The location that the other party is exploring is the same as that in your own electronic map.

At this time, Meiberry already wanted to take advantage of Jiubaoxuan's relationship and run away together.

This was immediately asked in a hurry.

"There are currently many soldiers guarding the government office, and they already know the existence of this secret passage."

"ah?"

Mei Bei's expression immediately wilted like a frost-beaten vegetable, and the other party said: "But my boss asked me to tell you that he will find a solution as soon as possible."

"Well, if you ask him to work hard, we will work hard to find a solution."

Meiberry had a small face and was listless. Before closing the window, she asked people to pay attention to their safety when they went back at night.

Afterwards, she lay on the bed and stared at the beams in a daze all night.

Mayberry sighed tiredly.

It turns out that running is not just physical work, right?

When do you need to use your brain when running away?

Thinking of this, Meiberry buried her head into the soft pillow and howled twice.

Early the next morning, before Mei Bei could get up and call Mei You next door to discuss the next thing, Jiubaoxuan actually sent someone to pick them up and take them to the house where Wang Beigu lives on the upper floor.

Go in.

This hurried look is not a good sign.

Mei Bei and Mei You's parents currently know little about the situation at hand. They only know that the situation outside is very chaotic and is not much better than inside the city.

Mei Bei and the others had just arrived, and they followed Wang Beigu to the study.

"Last night, refugees outside the city attacked the city, but failed."

"So fast!?"

"Well, Fucheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is unlikely that the refugees will rush in directly."

Wang Beigu's words were just a prelude, and his last sentence was the most crucial, "At dawn, some refugees entered the city from nowhere. Fortunately, they were discovered by the guards in time. Unfortunately, they only caught one.

Moreover, the one caught seems to be sick."

"I……"

Mei Bei almost couldn't hold back her curse words. It seems that the city is currently under lockdown, and there are refugees who have come in, not to mention those who are infected with the disease.
To be continued...
