Ever since Bai Sanlang passed away, Rhubarb has been guarding his tomb, refusing to leave even half a step. Most of the time, it lay in front of his tombstone and looked at his grave. In the early morning, it whined sadly to the sky, untouchable by thunder.
The world was already covered with ice and snow, and a biting cold wind was blowing. Sichuan Yun saw it shivering with cold several times, but it insisted on keeping vigil for its master and did not leave even half a step.
At first, Chuanyun thought this was normal. Dahuang was a loyal dog. It was normal for him to be sad for a while after his owner died, so he just let it go.
In fact, she should have left after Bai Sanlang was buried at the beginning, but when she was about to leave, she saw Dahuang lying in front of the tomb without thinking about food and food, crying to the sky. She would eventually find food after
She chose to come back because she was afraid it would starve to death this winter.
Rhubarb is one of the few "friends" she is familiar with in this world. She still hopes that it will follow her to the Great Wilderness Mountain. At least as long as she is here, it will not starve to death.
But she didn't expect it to be so long.
She worked tirelessly to find food everywhere every day and put food to its mouth, but it refused to eat it and cried silently. It even complained to her that it was useless and could not protect its owner.
It seems to be punishing itself by going on a hunger strike.
In the end, Chuan Yun really couldn't hold back and beat it, but it still lay there without any pain, without fighting back or screaming. It was like a puddle of mud. If it hurt so much, the most it could do was move its position and change its position to continue being beaten.
beat.
This went on for more than half a month.
Rhubarb hasn't eaten anything for more than half a month. Sometimes, perhaps because he is thirsty, he plops a few mouthfuls of snow into his mouth, and continues to feel sad for the spring and sad for the autumn.
However, there was no sign of starvation at all. It was just losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was still full of energy every day and either cried or whined, which made people wonder.
But Chuanyun's patience has gradually reached its limit.
At dawn that day, Dahuang started praying for the day as usual, raising his head and wailing.
After being woken up, Chuan Yun suddenly felt a surge of unknown anger in her heart. She beat it without saying a word, and finally crawled in front of it, looked at it with great disappointment, and finally patted it a few times with her paws.
Cheek, sighed silently, turned around and left resolutely.
She is saying her final farewell. This time, she will not come back.
She spent half a month waiting for Rhubarb, but it still stubbornly guarded its master and the small land.
Maybe she was wrong from the beginning.
Da Huang saw the disappointment in Chuan Yun's eyes, and his eyes trembled, especially when he saw her walking farther and farther away with her back to him. Da Huang finally shifted his gaze from the tombstone, stood up anxiously, looked at the owner, and then looked at
Look at Doudou, whining in his mouth and spinning in circles.
It is obviously making a choice.
Dahuang felt that if ‘Doudou’ left this time, he would never come back again.
It doesn't want to be separated from Doudou, but... it doesn't want to leave its owner to sleep alone here.
Chuan Yun climbed towards the Great Wilderness Mountain in the western suburbs. In the past half month, she met a lot of people on the way to find food, and she also heard about the follow-up of Gushu Village one after another.
It turns out that Gushu Village suddenly disappeared two hundred years ago, and all the villagers in the village disappeared. People in several nearby villages thought that the village was cursed, especially the children who went to play near the village and disappeared inexplicably.
, were so scared that they all chose to move away. Slowly, the area became panicked, because there were rumors that no one was leaving.
Because Bai Sanlang was a foreigner and did not understand these taboos, he took that road and lost his life in vain.
But this time, Gushu Village suddenly reappeared, and more than 200 villagers there unexpectedly died collectively in front of a large pit with an altar. In particular, bones piled up like a hill were found in the pit, and there were even
Several people have disappeared in recent days.
Immediately the news spread as if it had wings, causing an uproar. The people wanted an explanation from the government, but the magistrate issued an injunction not to spread the rumor, otherwise they would be thrown into jail, but they still couldn't stop the public from talking.
The state prosecutor of Pengcheng provoked a big shot and hanged himself at the door of his house that day. No one knew who did it. His crimes of child abduction and trafficking over the years were written down on paper and thrown everywhere.
Zhizhou, on the other hand, was removed from office because he failed to manage Pengzhou's affairs well and was unworthy of his moral integrity, and was taken to the capital of Zhaozhou to await trial.
The person handling this case is from Zhaozhou, and there are actually relatives of his in that big hole. I heard that his background is quite big, so it’s no wonder that Zhouzhou has also suffered.
When he first heard this, Nan Yuechen's face immediately appeared in Chuan Yun's mind. He didn't expect that his background was so profound. No wonder he made such nonsense in the inn that day to make the governor look good.
As for the death of Na Zhoujuan, Chuan Yun believed that it had something to do with the people behind Nan Yue Chen. In fact, after knowing that the "human-monster collusion" conspiracy in Gushu Village had lasted for two hundred years, Chuan Yun did not believe that the people behind it were just
It's so simple to judge the second-in-command in charge of government affairs.
She could only sigh that power is a really good thing in this world. As long as you have enough background, it doesn't matter whether you have evidence or not. It doesn't matter whether you did it or not, as long as they think you did it, then you did it.
After all, a dead man cannot speak.
"Doudou Immortal, are you leaving?"
A clear and clean voice sounded from behind, implying reluctance, and it seemed particularly loud in the snow.
When Chuanyun heard the word "doudou" in addition to rhubarb, he felt a chill in his heart. He shook the goosebumps on his arms and turned around unhurriedly, wanting to see what he had been doing for half a month.
Who was the girl who brought her food?
After all, in this snow-white world, it is not easy for her, a little turtle, to find food.
I saw Nan Yuechen's figure appearing behind him, holding a package in his hand.
Chuanyun was not surprised.
In the past half month, the food always appeared in the same place. It was obviously placed there deliberately. The fact that the food appeared instead of the person meant that the person did not want to disturb him.
She had guessed that he was a survivor from Gushu Village. The man saw his soul leaving his body at the bottom of the pit. Because he was timid and in awe of himself, he chose to silently give her food in return.
But I never expected that it would be Nan Yuechen, a noble son of an aristocratic family.
After knowing it was him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This person has a pure and kind heart, helps the weak and helps the poor, and is a good boy with a righteous heart.
Chuanyun nodded to him, responded yes, and then showed a mini smile, thanking him for sending food every day these days.
"Thank you." She wrote these three words in the snow.
She saved him, but it was just a matter of convenience, and she felt guilty after eating his food for half a month.
"Junior didn't do anything. Thank you Immortal for saving this junior." Vietnam Chen touched his head sheepishly and smiled shyly, but in fact he was so excited that he burst into joy.
The immortal actually smiled to himself.
"Doudou Immortal, this is... the food prepared by this junior for you, please take it with you!" As he said that, he put the baggage where it was, turned around and ran away. After running a few meters, he seemed to have thought of something and then turned around.
He promised loudly: "I will take good care of Rhubarb and send someone to deliver food to it every day. Don't worry."
