Facing the two people who were still in shock, Widow Zhao replied, "This is the Gu Mansion."

"Gu Mansion?" Li Luo looked around.

Li Mei asked in surprise, "Is this Gu Jiu's old house?"

Widow Zhao nodded.

The two sisters finally understood why those things outside didn't dare to come in.

Although Linshui Town is isolated from the outside world, people still know that Gu Jiu is a saint because he has finally emerged.

Here, those shadowless ghosts outside dare not come in. Did Gu Jiu leave something here to make the ghosts retreat?

After several exchanges, Widow Zhao said that she didn't know either.

She discovered something unusual a few days earlier than Li Mei and her sister, and wanted to escape from the town, but she saw some bloody clothes outside the town.

She judged from this that something might happen in the town, so she rushed back immediately.

During the time she was at home, Widow Zhao always felt that some eyes were spying on her, and most of the owners of these eyes had no shadow.

The way they looked at themselves, it really was as if they were looking at animals kept in a pen.

Later, someone even knocked on her door and window.

She was so scared that she ran away from the back door of her house. As a result, like Li Mei and her sisters, she encountered those guys who were not sure whether they were human or ghosts.

She fled in panic all the way and finally escaped here, to the gate of Gu Mansion, and found that those "people" were no longer chasing her.

Widow Zhao was quick-witted and immediately thought of Gu Jiu, so she hid here.

Sure enough, the Gu Mansion seemed to be protected by gods, so those "people" dared not approach.

Widow Li felt that she had survived a disaster, but she was also trapped here. It was not until today when she saw the two sisters Li Mei on the wall that she felt she had found her companions.

The main problem now is that there is nothing to eat here. If they are trapped here and are not harmed by those things outside, they will probably starve to death.

This time when she went out, Li Mei brought most of her valuables with her, and there were only a few cakes left in her bag.

The three of them simply used the boiling water to eat the cakes, which helped them to relieve their stress.

At this time, Li Luo looked at the wooden ladder on the wall and knew that Widow Li had put it there to see outside.

So she climbed up to see what was happening outside.

Only the carriage and the horse were still there, and there was no one around.

Have they already left?

Li Luo told what she saw, and her idea was to bring the horse in.

After all, they didn't know how long they would have to stay here. If they had horses, they could kill and eat them if they had no other choice in the future.

No one knows how long they can hold on, but being alive is always a hope.

Faced with Li Luo's proposal, Li Mei said no for the time being, after all, they almost died.

But finding food is a very realistic problem.

At the moment, it seems that I can’t leave this town, and if I go out I’ll probably die. The best way is to stay here.

For some reason, she felt safe when she saw the peach tree.

"Maybe this is the work left by Gu Jiu?" Li Mei analyzed.

Thinking about how Gu Jiu and I had traveled together all the way, and now I am staying in Gu’s house to survive, it can be considered a kind of fate.

She felt that as long as they were alive, they might really be rescued.

After all, this is Gu Jiu's hometown. Maybe he will come back?

Widow Zhao was somewhat tempted by Li Luo's proposal.

The big pancake was the only food she had eaten in the past two days, and she knew how terrible it was to have nothing to eat.

So Widow Zhao decided to go out and give it a try.

……

Li Luo lay on the wall, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no "person", he nodded to Widow Zhao.

Widow Zhao rushed to the horse in one breath, untied the rope hanging on the carriage with trembling hands, and was about to lead the horse away.

But the horse was obviously afraid of her and refused to move forward.

Widow Zhao held her breath and couldn't help but increase her strength.

At this time, she noticed that Li Luo on the wall had a strange expression on his face and was trying to signal something to her with his eyes.

Widow Zhao glanced back and found that at some point, a corner of the curtain in the carriage had been lifted.

The carriage had been here before, motionless, and I thought there was no one in the carriage.

But if there was no one there, then who opened the curtain?

Widow Zhao rolled on the ground and crawled forward.

Almost at the same time, a shadow rushed out. It was not Li Luo's mother, but a child.

The reason they thought there was no one in the carriage was that they could not see a single person through the open windows.

You have to know that Aunt Li is quite strong, so it is impossible that nothing can be seen. Who would have thought that the person hiding inside is a child under ten years old.

This is obviously a trap.

The child rushed over with a shiny knife in his hand.

She had a pair of pigtails that went up into the sky, and she looked very small, but she was very strong, and she grabbed Widow Zhao's hair with one hand.

Widow Zhao was terrified and felt that she was doomed. After all, the child was too fast.

The child was holding a knife and was about to cut off her head, but at this moment, the peach tree in the Gu Mansion shook, and a peach blossom flew out like lightning, and with a swish, it cut across the child's wrist.

With a clang, the knife in the child's hand fell to the ground, and the force of the knife was loosened. Widow Zhao, who had escaped from the desperate situation, rolled and crawled into the Gu Mansion.

She slammed the door and burst into tears.

I'm scared to death!

Li Luo also almost cried. The change was too fast and she thought that the eldest sister of the Zhao family was dead.

She had even thought of the scene of the eldest sister of the Zhao family having her head cut off, and her back was covered in cold sweat, but now, the situation had reversed.

The child covered his wrist, picked up the knife on the ground with his mouth, and stepped back a little.

She looked coldly at Li Luo on the wall, but there was no shadow.

Li Luo felt a chill all over his body, and dared not look anymore. He quickly got down from the ladder, feeling weak in the knees.

The three of them huddled together, Widow Zhao was still crying, and no one else suggested looking for food.

too difficult.

It's really hard.

They are all ordinary people, how could they survive in such a situation?

Thinking of the danger they had just encountered, the three of them couldn't help but feel discouraged.

The peach tree stood there in full bloom, but just now, one of its flowers was gone.

Li Mei looked at the peach tree and thought that if the peach blossoms withered, would they die?

No, maybe they had starved to death before the peach blossoms faded.

At this moment, Widow Zhao, who had just stopped crying, wiped away her tears and said, "I'll go find something to eat tomorrow."

"But……"

Li Luo was about to speak when Widow Zhao said with a firm look in her eyes, "Rather than starve to death, it's better to give it a try. There are probably only three of us left in town now, and I don't want to see you starve to death."

Chapter 53 Senior Sister, Why Don’t You Take Us Home?

At Qingxi Academy, all the disciples wore swords on their waists and had solemn expressions.

The stream flowing through the river no longer gurgles, but seems to have become a pool of stagnant water, with many bamboo leaves and duckweed floating on it, looking quite dilapidated.

The situation in the north has been getting worse and worse. First, the Yunshan Sword Sect encountered the strange red candle, and now they have also encountered trouble at Qingxi Academy.

Although only a few female disciples had accidents and the losses were not serious, it still caused panic.

This has proven that even the cultivation sects are no longer peaceful.

The stream stopped flowing in the first half of the month and became dark. In order to find out what was going on, Qingxi Academy sent people upstream to check out the situation.

The three female disciples returned safely, saying that a large amount of silt had suddenly surged in from upstream, blocking the way up, and someone needed to be sent to clean it up.

As a result, that night, the three female disciples disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Luo Lin, who was already the vice president, immediately realized that the problem was very serious because they had no idea of ​​the severity of the situation.

As a result, they sent two brave disciples out to investigate. This time, the two disciples didn't even come back.

Therefore, Qingxi Academy sent a letter to request support from nearby sects while ordering strict defense.

After all, there is a large formation in the academy that we can rely on, and we would probably be in a very passive position if we go outside.

If it was a big ghost coming from outside, with so many of them and this formation, they wouldn't be afraid.

The world is falling apart day by day, and even a sect like theirs is having trouble taking care of itself, let alone ordinary people.

All they can do is temporarily maintain the several towns near the academy, but no one can tell how long they can hold out.

These days, Zhao Chuling has been a little uneasy and has lost a lot of weight, but her breasts and buttocks have not become thinner, so they look more perky.

Zhao Chuling's realm was not up to par, so he couldn't follow Gu Jiu and the others to the underworld. He felt a little bored staying in Miaojiang, so he returned to Qingxi Academy to see if he could be of any help.

Unexpectedly, after she came back, something unexpected happened in Qingxi Academy, which had been relatively peaceful.

The water in the academy completely turned into a stagnant pool, and the five disappeared sisters never appeared again.

The exploration upstream of the stream was not continued, and this matter became a concern for everyone, causing panic in the academy.

At night, the oil lamp in the house emitted a warm light. Zhao Chuling sighed softly and decided to take a nap.

She was too tired during this period and needed a good rest.

Anyway, without Gu Jiu's guidance, she felt that she couldn't sleep well.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the candles in the house began to shake, as if they would go out at any time.

"who!"

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Chuling found someone standing outside the house.

The man was dressed in white, which was the academy's robe, and his hair was tied with a square scarf. He looked like a disciple of the academy, but Zhao Chuling did not dare to relax at all.

The other party did not respond to her, and the whole person looked very frail, like a piece of paper, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.

"Junior Sister Liu?"

Through the flickering light, Zhao Chuling always felt that the other person looked a bit like one of the three female disciples who had disappeared before.

But the other party still did not respond to her.

Silence, with a taste as cold as iron.

Another gust of wind blew, shaking the doors and windows, the flames went out in an instant, and the house was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Zhao Chuling quickly tapped the oil lamp with her finger and relit it.

The light in the house suddenly returned, but at this time, there was no one outside.

You have to know that it only took a blink of an eye from the time the light went out to the time the oil lamp was relit. The appearance and disappearance of the figure was so abrupt that Zhao Chuling felt like she was dreaming.

But Zhao Chuling knew that this was not a dream.

She finally couldn't help herself and walked out of the house with a lantern.

Outside the house, a hazy moon hung in the sky, covering the quiet night with a layer of frost.

This is where the disciples of Qingxi Academy stay. Since there are people guarding the outside, the defense here is not tight and it is very quiet.

Except for a few houses with lights on, most people were asleep.

Zhao Chuling took the sword and walked outside.
