Chapter 87 Human World (3)

Yan Qing pretended not to see the caution and vigilance in the man's eyes, rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean we outsiders have dirty blood? I think you have dirty minds."

What does the man want to retort?Another sternly warned: "Don't talk too much to outsiders."

After that, no one really cared about Yan Qing anymore.

The further you go, the deeper the alley becomes and the heavier the smell of moss and ancient vines becomes.Yan Qing has always been an outlier in this long team.Both his unfamiliar face and this umbrella are different.It is incredible that people in Zhancheng never hold umbrellas when it rains.Because Yan Qing had Mrs. Su as an all-purpose excuse, no one dared to really come forward and cause trouble for him, no matter how many ferocious looks he got around him.

After queuing for a while, suddenly the crowd surged in front.

Yan Qing had already reached the front of the team and saw something strange happening in front of him.A girl stumbled out of the clan house. She was wearing an apricot-yellow dress, so the traces of blood on her calves were even more obvious.The girl, with disheveled hair and pale face, pushed away the first person at the head of the team and ran out.

Immediately behind her were a pair of people from the clan's clan, each carrying wooden sticks and knives.

"Stop her!"

"You dare to have an abortion without authorization. This is an unforgivable crime. Send it to the City Lord's Mansion!"

The men in line looked at each other in confusion, but when the woman came over, they all hid aside.

"Quickly, retreat quickly, the crazy woman is running over."

"Stay away from that crazy woman."

They wanted to stand against the wall and didn't want to touch the woman.Yan Qing lowered the umbrella, and then secretly used his feet and umbrella handle to trip the man in front of him. The man yelled "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and fell straight forward, ending up in this alley that was not too wide.It hit the opposite wall.The girl was petite and could bend under him, but a group of people from the clan house behind her directly collided with the man's body.

"Ah ah ah who pushed me!"

"Do you want to die!"

While the crowd was in chaos, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Vast mist rose from the surface of Qingshi Alley, and the world and vision gradually blurred.Yan Qing took advantage of a slippery patch of moss and knocked down another group of people. He turned sideways and took advantage of the chaos to walk towards the girl.

One good thing about Barrier City is that there are many alleys and old alleys with twists and turns. The girl finally ran out of breath into an abandoned dark alley.

There were many abandoned wooden carts and straw piled up at the end of the dark alley. She was bleeding too much and was exhausted, so she hid in a corner and covered herself with wooden boards.

Unable to bear it any longer, she burst into tears.

"Over there! She ran over there!"

"This stinky bitch can't get out of the city gate, so where can she escape?"

"What a crazy bitch!"

The girl was in pain now, and her whole body was trembling. She looked at the green rain pouring down from the top of the barrier city, and deep fear emerged in her clear pupils.

A drop of rainwater touched her exposed skin, and the girl immediately screamed like crazy and frantically rubbed that skin with her hands.She wiped and broke down crying.Suddenly an umbrella separated the misty rain and stopped in the air above her.Immediately afterwards, a blue-white robe appeared in the field of vision, followed by a gentle voice."They can't find it here."

The girl in the yellow skirt raised her head, and Yan Qing gave her a comforting smile.

Yan Qing was now in the form of a teenager, looking as old as her. She squatted down and said enthusiastically, "How are you?"

The girl's lips were bloodless, and then she trembled and said something.She said in the dialect of Zhancheng: "Are you from outside? Can you help me?" After speaking, she fell silent again, with a deep despair in her eyes.She has never been out of Zhancheng and does not know Mandarin, only dialects.She was born here, as if she was cursed, and she would never be able to live without this city that is shrouded in rain all year round.

Yan Qing stared at her, then grinned and replied in the dialect of Zhancheng, "Well, I'm from outside."

The girl in the yellow dress suddenly shrank her pupils and opened her mouth slightly in disbelief.

Yan Qing did not dare to take the girl back to the Su Mansion rashly. He asked the girl if she had a place to live.The girl nodded, and then led Yan Qing to avoid the crowded roads and followed one alley after another to the foot of a mountain.

There is a small wooden house at the bottom of the mountain. The girl said that this was the place where her ancestors lived before.Yan Qing was stunned the moment he came here, because the mountain behind the wooden house was a place used by the five families to hold hunting banquets.But now its trees and shrubs have grown taller and taller, and it has become a deep forest that is inaccessible to people.

There was a venomous snake hovering on the beam of the house, and various insect nests were formed under the bed due to being in this damp place for many years.After Yan Qing helped clean it up, the girl knelt down excitedly: "Thank you, my benefactor!"

Yan Qing didn't let her kneel down. He lit a fire, then took out a pill from the mustard space and asked the girl to take it.

Sitting by the fire, the warmth drove away the pain, cold, and hunger.The girl finally gained some sense, hugged her legs and sobbed.

Yan Qing walked around this wooden house and found many bows, arrows, knives, and axes hanging on the walls.

Yan Qing asked: "Did your great-grandfather make a living by hunting in the past?"

The girl was obviously a little stunned. She didn't understand why Yan Qing asked this question. She nodded and said hoarsely, "Yes. My family has relied on the forest behind for hundreds of years."

The girl bent over and hugged herself, letting the dry and warm firelight dry away the tears. She murmured: "In the past, this forest behind was a place where dignitaries used to play. Two hundred years ago, Barrier City was much better than it is now. It was prosperous.It’s very lively. I heard from my dad that my great-grandfather was here and saved many young men from rich families back then, and got a lot of benefits.”

Yan Qing nodded, it was probably really prosperous when the five families in the city were entrenched.No matter the mansions, streets, pavilions, or residents, they all grew moldy in the dense water vapor like they do now.

Yan Qing said: "If you want me to save you, you must give me a clear reason."

The girl pursed her lower lip and turned pale: "I aborted the child in my belly. This is a capital crime in Zhancheng."

Yan Qing: "Why? Don't you want holy water?"

The girl suddenly raised her voice: "Holy water? I don't need to cleanse my soul at all! It's those beasts in the City Lord's Mansion who should cleanse my soul!"

Yan Qing said nothing.

The girl's voice became more and more trembling: "They are beasts! My parents didn't want to do what they said, so they put my parents to death! I didn't want to get married, and my brother didn't want to get a wife, so they arranged for me to go to the clan house., sent my brother to the City Lord’s Mansion. I don’t even know who the child in my belly belongs to!”

By the end of his words, he was almost crying with blood.After yelling, the girl's pupils swayed and she really showed a kind of madness. She said softly: "You left well, you shouldn't have come back. Barrier City is now a ghost town, and everyone is an evil ghost."

"They are thirsty for the holy water in the City Lord's Mansion. They use the holy water to wash away the dirt on their bodies and make their bodies lighter. Because they feel oppressed and uncomfortable all the time now. The blood of people in the barrier city is heavy, and their five internal organs are heavy when walking.Their internal organs are heavy, and now the only way to make them feel better is to get wet in the rain."

Yan Qing said, "Are you like this too?"

When the girl heard this, she cried: "I wish I were like this! How nice it would be to become a ghost with them! I don't know why I'm not like this. None of our family is like this - I don't like to get wet in the rain, and don’t crave holy water! Why isn’t our family like this?”

Being a sober person in hell is the deepest despair for ordinary people.

It was enough for Yan Qing to get the news from her. He threw a bead into the fire. This bead could ensure that the fire would keep burning in this humid atmosphere, and at the same time, it could ensure that poisonous snakes, insects and beasts did not come close.Yan Qing said: "Stay here. When you go out, maybe the weather will clear up in the barrier city."

The girl was stunned for a long time, staring at the fire, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Are you an immortal from heaven?"

Yan Qing: "Why do you ask?"

The girl said: "Because you look like an immortal."

Yan Qing: "Have you seen it?"

The girl said: "My great-grandfather has seen it. You must have used some kind of trick to hide your appearance. This is not your true appearance."

The girl said: "My great-grandfather said that immortals are much more beautiful than those in the storybook. Even the most beautiful woman in the famous Barrier City is much inferior to the immortals."

Yan Qing said: "Skin, bones and bones are all foreign objects."

The girl clenched her clothes tightly with her fingers and nodded towards him.

Before going out, Yan Qing asked her: "Who was the most beautiful woman in Zhan City back then?"

The girl was stunned, and then she thought hard and said, "Mrs. Chuxuan from the Xie family."

Xie family.

Mrs. Chuxuan.

Yan Qing looked stunned, nodded, and stopped walking: "That immortal is a woman? Did your great-grandfather say what the immortal looked like?"

The girl was stunned, shook her head and said: "No... there are only so many words passed down from father."

By the time Yan Qing returned to the Su Mansion, the lights in the Su Mansion had almost been turned off.

Xie Shiyi was sitting by the window on the third floor, playing chess with himself. Black pieces and white words covered the brown wood-colored chessboard. His black hair was winding. The white light of the rain and fog outside floated, and his expression was calm and indifferent..

Yan Qing closed the umbrella and put it aside.

When Xie Shiyi heard the voice, he dropped a white piece, raised his head and asked him: "You have been out for a whole day and night, twelve hours. Are you revisiting your old place in Barrier City?"

Yan Qing didn't take it seriously and said, "A place with old friends is called a hometown."

Xie Shiyi nodded and said in a cold tone: "Well, so you don't have any old friends, so you start to meet people again in Barrier City?"

Yan Qing lowered his head and glanced at the blood jade bead on his wrist, and immediately understood the implication of his words. He started to laugh and said, "Yaoyao, you really seem to be a resentful wife of a wealthy family."

Xie Shiyi: "..."

Yan Qing raised three fingers and said, "I walked around the barrier city today and got three pieces of news that are feasible for us. Do you want to listen?"

Xie Shiyi looked at him and said nothing.

Yan Qing said: "First, this rain is really evil. Everyone in the barrier city is very 'heavy' now. Their souls are heavier than their bodies. Although it does not affect their lives, they all feel that they are covered in dirt and need to be cleaned. The cleaning medicine is hereThe city lord's palace is called holy water, and the only condition for obtaining holy water is to give birth to a live fetus."

"Second, the entire barrier city has a seemingly complete but actually crazy order for giving birth. All women need to go through the clan house to give birth. And many times, instead of being pregnant for ten months, women are pregnant for one or two months.They feel severe pain. If they don't inform the clan government, they will only die."

"Third, for a couple in Zhancheng, if the woman dies, the man must also be buried with her."

Xie Shiyi listened quietly.

Yan Qing said, "Have you thought of anything?"

Xie Shiyi dropped the white seeds mixed between his fingers: "Nightmare."

Yan Qing suddenly laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Yes, Nightmare... The parasite of Nightmare in the world is only in the womb of women."
