There were only children on the street. Mu Xiyun, an adult, looked very abrupt. After discussing with Gu Qingqiao for a while, Gu Qingqiao swaggered down the street. trace.

"Hey, who are you? Why haven't I seen you?" A ten-year-old child saw Gu Qingqiao and asked.

"Me?" Gu Qingqiao smiled, "I'm new here."

"New here? No wonder I didn't see you in the morning?"

I don't know why the child emphasized the morning, Gu Qingqiao had no choice but to say nonsense: "That's what you overlooked."

"Okay," the boy said like a little adult, "you are very brave. You are walking on the street alone. There are several in our yard. They cried and cried when they came back from the big house. Now they don't come out to play."

Gu Qingqiao was at a loss, but he was afraid of being exposed, so he chose some simple words: "I have always been very courageous, how about you?"

"Me? This place is pretty good, and you can play with your friends," the boy raised his chest. "What's there to be afraid of?"

"Then where are you from?" Gu Qingqiao asked.

With a blank expression on the child's face, he reached out and scratched his head, "Hey, why don't I remember?"

The two were talking when the child in front called out, "Qingpi, what are you doing, can't you come?"

The boy named Qingpi shouted, "Come, come." He turned around and said to Gu Qingqiao, "Come and play with me if you have time!" After speaking, he ran away quickly and joined the group of children.

"The big house...morning." Gu Qingqiao was thoughtful.

The two of them walked around the street one after another, and they found nothing except seeing all kinds of children.

Afraid that they would be discovered after going out for too long, the two quietly sneaked back to the small courtyard.

The courtyard door was still locked, and Aunt Pig Demon had already fallen asleep, and her snoring was so loud.

The two returned to the room, Gu Qingqiao said: "It's strange to say, the child who talked to me today heard that I was a newcomer, and they all mentioned arriving in the morning and the big house. Is it the rule here to enter the city in the morning? Where is the big house? We’ve walked around the city and haven’t seen a big house!”

"And they are very at a loss about their origins," Mu Xiyun added, "it seems that they have lost their memories after entering the city."

"How about we go out again tomorrow morning?" Gu Qingqiao asked.

"Okay!" Mu Xiyuan nodded. This city is full of weirdness, but now there are only a few words as clues.

Mu Xiyun found the kitchen, boiled some hot water and went back to the house. The two washed up casually, Gu Qingqiao kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, smiling: "Sleep!"

Mu Xiyun watched him silently for a while, took out a thin quilt from the cabinet, and prepared to spread it on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qingqiao jumped out of bed barefoot.

"Play the floor!" Mu Xiyun said naturally.

"Don't, it's cold on the ground, you go to bed and sleep." Gu Qingqiao held his hand, "I will also come to lay the floor."

Mu Xiyuan smiled and said, "How can there be an elder sister who sleeps in her own bed and lets the younger brother sleep on the ground?"

Gu Qingqiao followed his gaze to see his little hand, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "That's not to dislike my brother, sister who doesn't sleep with him!"

Looking at Mu Xiyuan's embarrassed eyes, Gu Qingqiao raised his chest: "The man is casual, what's the point of two men sharing a bed? Don't worry, I sleep very honestly. You go to bed, half of us, we promise not to. bother you."

People get fat by breaking their promises, and sure enough, after just an hour, he was completely eaten by himself.

Mu Xiyun looked at the child's body rolled into her arms and sighed silently. The little boy's tender face has a sly smile, and he is happy in his dreams.

...

The end of the ugly time is the darkest hour before dawn. Gu Qingqiao and Mu Xiyun opened their eyes at the same time.

From the distant city gate, the sound of a carriage could be heard faintly. The voice was very far and very soft, but it could not hide the keen hearing of the practitioner.

The two got up quietly, rearranged the enchantment of the house, and went out of the hospital again.

At the moment when night and dawn meet, the city is quiet. The vast fog drifted on the street, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the city gate and slowly emerged from the fog.

It was a flatbed truck with a solid wooden cage. Inside the wooden cage, seven or eight children were covered in scars, sitting in the wooden cage, lifeless.

One after another, there were over a hundred carriages, each with more or less children under the age of ten.

Another row of wooden cages passed in front of Gu Qingqiao. He suddenly took a step back in surprise. Several children in the cage were leaning against each other. The tallest one was the Qingpi who had a conversation with him the day before yesterday!

Mu Xiyun frowned, unfolded the Cloud Crossing Art, and quickly swept forward. Soon after, he flashed back, pulled Gu Qingqiao, used the thick fog to cover his figure, and walked towards the front of the convoy.

"I looked at the team again just now. The driver of the third car and the fifty-seventh car are the same person."

"the same person?"

"Yes, but at a different age."

"Why is this?"

"If I'm not wrong, what we have seen is the carriages that have been here for more than ten years, and the children in every carriage were abducted and brought here."

"Then they are..."

"I have an idea that needs to be verified." Mu Xiyun said, "Come on, let's go to the front.

Gu Qingqiao turned his head and glanced at the team again. The wooden cages were looming in the thick fog, and the children's pale faces and scars were shocking.

The leading carriage slowly stopped, and at the end of the road, a large open space appeared. A huge three-story pavilion appeared in front of him.

The adults in the car got out of the car, urged the children to get up, and drove them into the pavilion one by one.

Gu Qingqiao glanced at Mu Xiyuan and made a gesture to point to the queue of children. Mu Xiyun nodded and walked to the door.
