Chapter 135 Empty City
Shen Li knew that Pei Yu could hear it, and she never thought she could hide it from him. After all, his internal strength was not something that could be easily defeated.
It's just that this person is quite smart and he doesn't choose to expose many things. One of them pretends to be deaf and the other pretends to be dumb. At first glance, they seem quite harmonious.
Everyone discussed other things and then dispersed. Tonight, Shen Li and Lin Zhuo would keep watch together. Everything was normal.
In the middle of the night, her cousin was already dozing off, and she suddenly saw a group of men in black running towards her at a high speed not far away. She raised her hand and immediately put her cousin into a deep sleep.
"Master Wei, didn't you say that you hid your whereabouts very well?"
"Also, this man is getting closer, where are your men?"
Shen Li looked over the wall and looked at Wei Zian standing in the yard and asked a series of questions.
Her tone was not very good, but Pei Yu did not show any anger on his face. People with ability always get preferential treatment from him.
"Don't worry, I've made a promise and I won't break it. Someone will lead them somewhere else and solve the problem."
Shen Li looked at his confident expression and investigated again, and found that it was just as he said. The group of people suddenly changed direction and went into the dead woods next to them.
I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed for a moment. Was I too harsh just now?
When Pei Yu saw her expression, he knew that she had sensed it, and he once again admired her unique ability.
"I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now. I just wanted to confirm with you, is your whereabouts really not exposed?"
Pei Yu shook his head. "It's okay. Your whole family is here. It's right to be cautious. My whereabouts have not been exposed. Maybe this group of people just stumbled upon me by mistake."
Shen Li turned her head to look at him. These were not the words he could say before. When he was rescued by her, he spoke very little, but now he talks more.
However, since he said so, let's just believe him this time. However, if something like this happens a few more times in the future, it can only be said that neither of them is stupid.
"Okay, you should take a rest. I will go back first."
After saying that, he took a running start, jumped onto the wall, and flipped down neatly.
After she left, Tianqing came out of the room and asked, "Has the letter been delivered?"
Tianqing already knew Pei Yu very well to some extent, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed by his side, so he knew what he wanted to ask right away.
"The letter has been delivered, and the secret book should be on the way."
In fact, he hasn't received the letter yet, but he estimated that the time is about right, and the master wouldn't want to hear words like "I don't know, I'm not sure".
Pei Yu walked into the room with his hands tied, and said in a cold voice, "Well, go and get rid of the person, don't leave any traces."
"Yes."
Shen Li returned to the yard, looked at her cousin who was sleeping against the earth wall, touched her nose, and used a little mental power to wake him up.
Lin Zhuo opened his eyes and looked at his cousin beside him, "Ali, was I asleep just now?"
He remembered that when he was on guard duty before, although he was very sleepy, he did not fall asleep. Why did he fall asleep this time?
Leaving Ali alone to keep watch at night, what a shame!
Shen Li blinked, picked up the bag beside her, and lent him a piece of dried meat, "Well, cousin, you just took a nap, you can go to sleep later, someone will take our place soon."
Anyway, my cousin didn’t know what happened just now, and he was indeed about to fall asleep.
Lin Zhuo took the dried meat and was no longer confused. After a while, someone came to take over the shift.
When I wake up, it is still dark, but it will be dawn soon. I get up at this time almost every day, and have formed a punctual biological clock.
Not only Shen Li, many people in the team already have their own biological clocks and wake up on time, so there is no need to worry at all.
As soon as Lu Jing woke up, he took his sister to make a fire and cook. His sister might not have used or been exposed to these things before, but now she has to learn a little bit of everything so that when she encounters danger again, she will have ways to save herself.
He has already made up his mind that even if he returns to the Lu family in the future, he will not let his sister Lu Nian be a rich lady who never leaves the house.
Shen Li got up. There was no one in the room. She took out a wet towel and covered her face. She felt much cooler instantly.
Li Qiaolan's injury has almost healed, and she has returned to her own carriage long ago. The wound on Liu Degui's back has also scabbed over. The two of them had the most serious injuries, but even if they hurried now, their wounds would not split open.
After a simple breakfast, the team slowly drove away from the village and sped up after getting on the official road.
Shen Li knew that when Tianqing went out last night, there was still a faint smell of blood on his body when he came back.
As evening approached, the team approached a county town. A plaque hanging on the city gate read "Pinghe County".
However, at this moment the city gates were wide open and the city was very quiet. Looking from here, one could see a layer of mist lingering in the city, as if it were a silent dead city.
There were also refugees who came into the city with their families, hoping to find something to eat.
"Dad, let's not go into the city. Let's find a place to camp outside the city."
Shen Li dismounted and came to Shen Changshan's side. There was something strange in this city. Chi Yan became anxious as soon as he approached the city.
Upon closer inspection, not only Chiyan, but even the other animals seemed a little anxious, but none of them were as smart as Chiyan, so it was not very obvious.
"Do we have to go through Pinghe County?"
Shen Changshan had already gone to arrange the camping. Pei Yu walked to Shen Li. He was wearing a white round-necked, narrow-sleeved robe today. The hem was embroidered with auspicious patterns of ink bamboo. This outfit made him look like a jade-like young man.
"We can save two days of travel by passing through here."
Ok?
He pointed his finger at the city, "But, as you can see, this is a bit... weird!"
Pei Yu held a white jade fan in his hand. He closed the fan and looked at her sideways. The fan tapped lightly on his palm, "Are you afraid of this?"
Shen Li shook her head. "That's not the case. I have a family to support, unlike you, Master Wei, who are all alone. If something happens inside, won't we all be in trouble?"
Pei Yu chuckled, "How about we two go in and take a look first?"
"Row."
The fog in this city looks very strange. The team should not go in until it is safe.
As Shen Li spoke, she extended her mental power into the city. She looked for ten miles and saw the same thing as she saw outside: empty.
The people in the city seemed to be evacuating in a hurry. Some tables still had dishes and chopsticks on them, which were now not only covered with mold, but also filled with dust.
But why did the people in this city evacuate in such a hurry?
What situation could make them evacuate so anxiously?
