"The city in front is completely closed."
Chenxing said this.
Yin Huan tilted his head and looked at her. It had been dozens of days since the two left the village in the forest filled with dolls, but the terrible memory still lingered in her mind for a long time. Walking in the wilderness these past few days, if there was any disturbance, she would be like a frightened rabbit and not dare to breathe. In the past, she was admittedly not so fragile, but to her, those things that looked human but were not human were more worthy of fear. After all, she didn't even like monkeys. There is no particular reason other than the fact that he looks too human. That's okay, everyone has different things they like and dislike.
But in front of Chenxing, she couldn't guess what this woman was thinking. She was unusually silent, and the day we met was the day she spoke the most. Most of the time, she remained silent, not even expressing her surprise, confusion, or disappointment. Yin Quan even suspected that she did not have these emotions. When they are bored, they can say nothing all day long. Yin Huan only needs to accept the water and dry food from her and does not have to do anything to help. This makes Yin Huan feel boring and uneasy. One person's silence is natural and excusable, but when neither of them said a word, the atmosphere seemed particularly cold. There were times of crisis. One day while walking in the wilderness, a ferocious beast with sharp fangs followed them. It is hungry, but very patient. Chenxing's senses are very keen. When he noticed this, he spoke bluntly to Yin Quan, but did not take any measures, which made Yin Quan worried all the way. Ever since Chenxing told her, she had also noticed the cunning beast, which always kept a just right distance from them. The intention of this vicious beast is very clear, which is to slowly wear down their minds until they fall asleep at night before attacking again. Yin Huan was very uneasy and just wanted to leave quickly, but Chen Xing told her to just rest peacefully. At first she was so restless, with her eyes wide open that she didn't dare to rest, but Chenxing's journey was too tiring, and she didn't dare to slow down for a moment, for fear that she would lose herself in the wilderness. Not long after, she fell asleep due to fatigue.
Late at night, she seemed to hear the sound of a knife, but she thought it was just a dream. But the next morning, she found the bloody beast lying next to them. Chenxing didn't know whether he was awake or awake, and was wiping the knife until it was spotless. It was an evil beast that she had never seen or heard of before. It was probably a monster, but Chenxing killed it - without her knowing it, she couldn't even wake herself up. She felt a little ashamed that she shouldn't have doubted Chenxing's plan. Although most of the time, she is always so maverick and doesn't plan to tell herself anything in advance.
Except this time.
"When the living corpses were rampant, I heard that there was no fall. The security... was not tight. But in the last town, I found out that they have closed the city gates recently. Except for the army, they can transport supplies in and out. Outside, no one is allowed to enter or exit, otherwise it will be a death penalty. Maybe the infection is still continuing, or it is caused by those random people. It is not impossible. I don’t know what exactly happened inside, I only know that my business is in such a Under the circumstances...even if you enter the city, you don’t have to do anything.”
Chenxing further explained in his own unique way of speaking. She often paused where there was no need, as if it was difficult for her to finish a sentence in one breath. Sometimes her pauses are short, too short to be noticed, but Yin Quan, who is accustomed to being silent, can catch them; sometimes her pauses are long and somewhat deliberate, as if she is thinking while talking. In any case, this is not a particularly obvious feature, and people who don't pay much attention will not take it seriously.
Could it be that she said these words because of...
"You stay," she said, "stay in a nearby village and I'll go in."
Yin Huan frowned and shook his head reluctantly. Although she knew that what she said would not count. Not to mention "abandoning" herself, even if she successfully entered the city alone, wouldn't it be dangerous for her face to be discovered?
"It's more convenient for me to sneak in alone than to take you with me. Water and food are no longer enough. Although they can be obtained in the village, they are not enough. In addition to food, I need to buy medicine, change money, and - other things .”
Chenxing is capable of yin and yang, so he must also need some consumable props, which cannot be found in the village. Some villages near big cities even have to go into the city to buy cinnabar. Moreover, what Chenxing said and the judgments he made, there are enough cases to prove their correctness. Yin Huan didn't want to embarrass her, so he thought for a moment and nodded.
So as agreed, Chenxing placed her in a farmer's home outside the city and gave them a lot of money. When Yin Huan was left alone in the room prepared for her, she showed a sad expression. In fact, she had already prepared to be left here, and she had to prepare for the possibility of acting alone in the future. Although Yin Huan is weaker than Chen Xing, she is not stupid, and she also knows how to plan her escape at all times. After all, leaving the shelter prepared by Shui Wujun with Ying Yue Jun is also the result of careful consideration, and it does not seem to be a big deal at the moment. bad. But she must also be fully prepared for her future plans. It is not impossible for Chenxing to really leave her behind. This has nothing to do with whether the woman is cold-blooded or not. Maybe the other party encountered some difficulties and couldn't come to pick her up in time, or even worse - she was caught by the government for entering the city without permission, what should I do?
By the way... Lord Yingyue, she has indeed never appeared again.
Ye Yinyuan actually didn't know what happened. On that day, it seemed that she left in a hurry after meeting Chenxing. Could it be that the two of them...don't want to deal with it? Yingyuejun may know Chenxing, otherwise it would be impossible to entrust herself to her in such a hurry, even if it is one-sided. She really wanted to ask Chenxing if she knew Yingyue Jun, but it was inconvenient after all. Firstly, she was speechless, and it was difficult to write in the wilderness; secondly, the question seemed abrupt, and there was always an explanation; thirdly, she felt that she got a correct answer from Chenxing, or even just an answer. It's all very difficult. When they first met, she felt that Chen Xing and Shui Wujun were somewhat similar, but later she discovered that they were completely different people. Yin Huan could feel the cold part of Shui Wujun's body, but it was more like a shadow of the past. It's as if she was born as a piece of ice, but has gradually melted into pure and soft warm water. She didn't know what Chenxing was born into, but she was a piece of solid ice from beginning to end. Will solid ice also have kindness? It's hard to say...but she is willing to regard what Chen Xing showed to her as kindness.
It was already noon here, and the farmer invited her to eat. Chenxing prefers to be alone, and is not even willing to stay for a meal before leaving, after all, the money she gives is enough. What Yin Huan didn't know was that while she was thinking wildly at the dinner table, Chenxing had already found the weakest defense point in the city and sneaked inside quietly.
A person wearing men's clothing but not pretending to be a man might be a little conspicuous in a busy place, but fortunately a curtain concealed her appearance. However, she did not intend to go to a crowded place, but chose the quietest path, even a route that ordinary people would not choose, such as the wall and eaves. She quickly found the store she needed and purchased everything she needed. Now, she needs to find a knife shop to buy some knife oil. She could have given this special copper ring-headed knife to the knifemaker when she first arrived here, and then went to buy other necessities easily. However, she is the one who knows this knife best, and she is the only one who can give it the most meticulous and appropriate care. Furthermore, she was not worried about leaving this valuable thing in other people's hands. Most importantly, it was unsettling to be away from the knife, like losing a part of my soul. And if you let the other party do all this under your nose, it will be a waste of time.
Just when he leaned out of a dark alley, a cold knife was placed at his neck.
"Remove your hands from your weapons."
The knife wielder was so threatening.
Chenxing silently moved the hand that was about to touch the handle of the knife away, then relaxed and let his arm droop naturally. The person threatening her was another man wearing a curtain. The curtain was black, shorter than her own, and only covered his face. Even though she couldn't see his eyes, Chenxing calmly revealed the other person's identity.
"What are you doing? Kanna-kun."
"You recognize me." Kanna-kun stared at her closely, "But I don't know you."
"Using swords against strangers is Kanna-kun's way of treating guests?"
"Anyone who breaks into Cangye City without permission cannot be called a guest."
"I see... the city closure order has something to do with you." Chenxing, who was originally staring intently, slowly turned his head and formally looked in the direction where Kanna was standing. The two of them were facing each other in this quiet corner of the city. "Please do it for your convenience. The enemy you want to investigate should not be without threat - I am the one to do it. I will leave after the purchase of things is completed."
"Everyone in the world is as lawless as you, coming and leaving as you please, what a chaotic scene it would be. Just because you are carrying a magic weapon is no reason for you to act arbitrarily."
Chen Xing, who had already turned away his gaze, looked at Kanna Wujun again. Even though they were separated by a thin layer of two things that served different purposes but had the same nature, they could still feel each other's sight. Kanna-kun's unusual eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and no one was allowed to disobey the words of the owner of these eyes. Chenxing's eyes were extremely cold, like an indestructible ice pick cutting through anything that dared to stand in front of him.
The next moment, the cool knife was unsheathed.
