"Brother and sister, please spare me, I'm not a bad guy!"
A boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old was surrounded by Xu Lei and others. He was dressed in rags, his face was covered with dirt, his thin body was trembling, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"Why are you eavesdropping on us?" Su Mu asked lightly. From the other party's breath, he could feel that the young man was just an ordinary person who had not yet sacrificed his battle soul, so his tone became much softer.
"I didn't eavesdrop, I just came out to find food, passed by here, and then accidentally saw you. I really didn't hear what you said, please don't kill me..." The boy trembled all over, his teeth trembled, and he could see that he was very scared.
Su Mu wanted to ask something, but Mu Hanqing raised his hand to stop him, "Forget it, I don't think he was deliberately eavesdropping on us. Besides, he couldn't hear anything at such a long distance."
Mu Hanqing was telling the truth. The boy was a distance away from them just now. Not to mention an ordinary person, even Xu Lei and others had to hear what the other party said at such a long distance. Mu Hanqing's cultivation level had reached seven stars, so he had such ability.
"What's your name? Are you the people here? Where are the people here except you?" Xu Lei observed secretly for a while and found that the boy's behavior was not like a disguise. Then he relaxed his vigilance and asked.
The young man said tremblingly, "My name is Wang Liu. Everyone in the village calls me Xiao Liuzi. I am from this village. After the plague broke out some time ago, the people in our village died and ran away. All my family members died. I originally wanted to go back to the village to see you today, but I met you."
"Oh, that's it." Xu Lei said as he faced Li Yan, "Little Yanzi, give him some sesame cakes."
Li Yan took out two sesame cakes and handed them over. Wang Liu was stunned for a moment. He took the sesame cake and started stuffing it into his mouth and chewing it.
"Wang Liu, do you know where the people in your village have moved to?" Xu Lei asked with a gentle smile.
Wang Liu was stuffed with sesame cakes and said, "Where is the big toast from these twenty miles away."
"Big Toast? Is there no plague there?" Xu Lei asked in confusion.
Wang Liufeng finished gnawing the two pieces of sesame cakes like a broken cloud, nodded and said, "The big toast is so good. Not only are we given food, but we also treat diseases. Our people are all here with him now."
"Oh, then can you take us to meet your big toast?"
Wang Liu nodded vigorously, "No problem."
"Haha, okay, then you go ahead and lead the way first. Let's talk about something and come here." Xu Lei said with a smile.
"Okay, hurry up, it will be dark in a while." After Wang Liu finished speaking, he turned around and jumped away with a smile.
"He is so pitiful." Ning Feier looked at Wang Liu's back as she was leaving, her eyes full of sympathy.
Yang Weiwei sighed, "Yes, he should be the best age at this age, but he can't even eat enough here."
"I don't know where that big toast is sacred. It sounds strange, but just do good things." Li Yan also said.
Xu Lei smiled and looked at the batter of sesame cake that fell all over the floor when the boy was eating sesame cakes. As he smiled, his face gradually became colder and said in a deep voice, "Everyone be alert, be careful of this Wang Liu!"
"Wang Liu?" Su Mu frowned, with a look of confusion.
Xu Lei nodded. There was no fighting spirit aura on this Wang Liu. It was true that he was an ordinary person, but what he said was full of doubts!
Xu Lei pointed to the bastard on the ground and said, "First, look at these bastards on the ground, just imagine, if it is really a hungry person, would he be willing to drop so many debris when eating?"
"That's true." Li Yan touched his chin, "but it's also possible that he was eating too fast and didn't care."
Xu Lei nodded and said, "Even so, there are two more. He just said that the big toast is more than 20 miles away. He came back to see it because he missed home. But imagine that a hungry person would travel more than 20 miles in this deserted mountain ridge because he missed home, just to go home and see it? And think about it, when he was talking to us just now, he didn't even look at the village behind us. Do you look like a person who really missed home?"
Su Mu slapped his head, "Yes, Xiao Lei said this, and I realized that he had never mentioned the big pit at the entrance of the village from beginning to end. The big pit seemed to have been buried for no more than ten days. If he was really a member of the village, he would not have known nothing about it. And although he was trembling in front of us just now, I always felt that he was not afraid of us, but something else."
"Later, he heard that we asked him to take us to see the big toast, and your eyes suddenly lit up." Xu Lei added, "This means that his purpose was to come out to find people and then take them to see their big toast!"
"And that big toast didn't know we were coming before, so his goal was not to us, but to all living people who came here!"
After Xu Lei finished speaking, several people fought a cold war, "Living people? What do he want to live people to do?" After saying that, several people tacitly looked at the big pit that was buried again, and couldn't help feeling a numbness in their scalp.
"No matter what, let's go and have a look first. When the opportunity comes, I always feel that the big toast will always have a close relationship with this plague. Maybe some clues can be found in that big toast!" Xu Lei said, "Remember, we must act this drama well in a while and pretend to know nothing!"
The few people nodded, and then chased Wang Liu.
Because of Wang Liu, the few people did not expand their shape and took nearly two hours to get there in just twenty miles.
From a distance, you can see a brightly lit city, and you can vaguely see some people gathering together. This is also the first "vibrant" place that Xu Lei and others have seen since they entered the epidemic area.
"This was originally our capital. Later, after the plague broke out, the king and the army here left. After the big toast came, we were all here. Don't worry, there was no plague here!" Wang Liu introduced to the city gate.
Xu Lei looked around and saw that the city wall was tall and strong, with the temperament of some capital city. There were several people wearing strange clothes standing at the door. These people were tall and burly, with high and high nose bridges, just like some humans from foreign countries that Xu Lei had seen in early years.
"They are from southern Xinjiang." Yang Weiwei, who is knowledgeable, whispered, "But how could they be here?"
Seeing that several people were staring at him and others, Xu Lei quickly signaled Yang Weiwei, and then followed Wang Liu into the city gate.
At this time, the sky was just getting dark, some shops began to close, and pedestrians on the road gradually became scarce, but these people looked a little weird when they saw Xu Lei and others.
"Brother and sister, Big Toast goes to bed early at night, I'm afraid I won't see you today. I'll find a place for my brothers and sisters to rest for one night. I'll take you to see Big Toast early tomorrow morning." Wang Liu walked across a street intersection and said to a small inn, "You are guests here, Big Toast will definitely treat you kindly, so you don't have to squeeze into the dilapidated temple with us tonight, just stay in the inn. Don't worry, it's not a good idea. I'll go in and tell the shopkeeper that you are customers of Big Toast."
Xu Lei nodded, "Thank you, it's getting late, so you can go and rest early, we'll wait for you in the inn tomorrow."
"Well, then I'll leave first. See you tomorrow with my brother and sister." After Wang Liu finished speaking, he explained to the shopkeeper a few words before leaving in a hurry.
The shopkeeper did not charge any fees, but instead led Xu Lei and others into the room with a smile. As soon as the shopkeeper left, Xu Lei and others immediately gathered in a room and tied the door.
"There are ears next door." Mu Hanqing's ears were very strong. As soon as the door was tied up, he heard a slight noise next door.
This is simple, Ning Feier laughed and waved her hand, and there was an instant wave of air in the room, and then it transformed into the whole room.
Sound insulation cover, a unique martial art of the wind-attributed war soul, uses the power of the war soul to activate it, forming an air barrier in a certain area, which cannot play a defensive role, but can well separate the sound.
After carefully checking the doors and windows again and confirming that there were no mistakes, Xu Lei asked in a deep voice: "The people of Southern Xinjiang are the races who are good at using poison in the legend?"
Yang Weiwei nodded, "When Xiao Yanzi and I were traveling in the world, we once went there. The people there were tall and burly, with bronze skin and high nose bridges. Just like the few people I saw at the city gate just now, they also practiced war souls, and there were also experts among them. They were very good at attacking with poison and war souls, but they rarely left the southern Xinjiang area, so I was surprised when I saw a few talents in southern Xinjiang just now."
"That's how big toast is very likely to be from Southern Xinjiang?" Xu Lei frowned slightly, "I think things are more complicated than we imagined. Also, when we entered the city just now, I felt strange when those pedestrians looked at us."
"I think too!" Sumu said, "I always feel like they look at us like a group of hungry people watching...food!"
"Food?" Li Yan remembered the thick white bones in the big pit at the entrance of the village today, "Do they want to eat us!"
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of breaking their teeth!" Yang Weiwei said disdainfully, "Do they want to eat us? This is very simple. I'll try him and you'll know!"
"Try it? How to try it?" Li Yan looked puzzled.
Yang Weiwei looked at Li Yan and said, "Little Yanzi, I ask you, how do you react whenever I lift my skirt in front of you?"
Li Yan said, "Of course, the qi and blood surge, and the body is burned, what else can you react?"
Yang Weiwei said, "What happens whenever you go hungry, when you see a roasted lamb leg?"
Li Yan said, "It must be so greedy that I drool."
Yang Weiwei snapped her fingers, "That's right, Xiao Yanzi, go and call the shopkeeper over, I'll try him."
"But……"
"Don't worry, I know what I know. At most, I can enjoy her pleasure and won't let you suffer a loss!"
