Dawn is approaching.
A blurry white line loomed in the distant sky.
Jiang Yan woke up from his deep sleep and opened his eyes. He did not choose to alarm Lu Lu. He got up and dressed alone, walked outside the hospital without making any sound, and walked to the gate.
Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
Once here, you can easily hear the sounds of chaotic footsteps and heavy breathing coming from outside the door and continuing.
Jiang Yan looked up at the sky and saw that the day had not really come yet, and there was still a pale moon hanging high in the sky, staring at the world.
"So early in the morning, so many people..."
"Did something important happen nearby?"
With a leap, Jiang Yan came to the edge of the wall and stood firmly. He raised his head slightly and looked around, his expression was startled.
On Xianhua Street, there was a large group of ordinary civilians with different clothes, different heights, different ages, and different genders. These people gathered into a huge and bloated team, passing by neither fast nor slow.
Although these people are different, their expressions are very similar. Their expressions are fanatical and their eyes are abnormally bright.
"White bones come to the world to save all living beings."
"White bones come to the world to save all living beings."
"White bones come to the world to save all living beings."
Over and over again, over and over again, these people kept chanting this sentence, passing in front of Jiang Yan in order, and rushing towards some unknown destination.
"Preaching? Bones coming to the world?"
Somehow, Jiang Yan suddenly recalled the man who publicly preached to him on the street some time ago, but was directly killed by Sergeant Ye Huai.
"The White Bones come to the world...the White Bones Bodhisattva?"
Connecting the two, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel silent. He turned his head slightly and looked into the distance. He saw that the team was spreading so long that it was difficult to tell the end, and he didn't know how many people there were.
After a long while, he sighed to himself:
"The power of Ye Huai's official family has become weaker."
Even if you don't have in-depth contact with this so-called "White Bones" Church or really understand it, you can immediately tell that it is definitely not a good sect. According to the previous official style, this kind of force will be exterminated if it only sprouts. It will really make it grow.
"It seems that after the inexplicable disappearance of the Divine Capital, it still has an impact on the states of Dayan. The most critical point is that without the central dynasty, the states and counties are almost independent of each other, and the interactions between the strong are no longer frequent.
"Without the support from the top, only fewer powerful people are dispatched to assist, the local government forces will consume a lot of resources just to deal with weird events, and they will not be able to fully control the detailed situation of the entire region."
After jumping off the wall, Jiang Yan closed his eyes, took a silent breath, and made the next decision:
Move away from here temporarily and find a safer environment to live in.
If you can see the "White Bones" church today, you may see other forces tomorrow. Under this, there are many similar hidden forces developing. In short, Jiang Yan feels that the neighborhood is no longer safe.
Moreover, yesterday he also killed an unknown Golden Core warrior. Although he left no trace, it was difficult to guarantee that the forces or people behind the other party would find him through methods he did not understand.
"If I don't care about myself, it won't matter if I'm found. If I can't beat him, I still have a chance to escape, but it's hard for Lu Lu to withstand such an impact."
With such a thought, Jiang Yan immediately turned around, quietly walked away from the courtyard gate, and approached the inner courtyard step by step. It was still early and he could still sleep for a while.
"Well, there are two suitable places to live temporarily. One is Lan Xin's place. She is the legitimate daughter of the Lan family and a good friend of Lu Lu. She lives there and is under the heavy protection of the Lan family's guards. Her safety will naturally be guaranteed. .
"The second one is naturally the Baiyang School, where Ouyang Xiuya lives. The school also has many masters. Even if some evil forces are crazy, they will not come here to cause trouble. That would be to seek death."
At this time, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered a certain problem and couldn't help but stop:
"However, both Lan Xin and Ouyang Xiuya are women, so it seems inappropriate to go live there.
"At least I'm not suitable. I'm a man."
He touched his nose and said in an incomprehensible tone:
"That's all, I personally don't care, as long as I can take care of Lu Lu."
After thinking about this matter clearly, Jiang Yan continued to move towards the inner courtyard, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the door again. When he got close, without any hesitation, he directly pulled the door bolt and opened the door.
Amidst the creaking sound, the dark wooden door opened, and a man who was bending his arms and making a knocking motion came into Jiang Yan's eyes:
This man was wearing a black and gray shirt with two obvious holes, a pair of trousers of a different color but equally worn out, and a pair of cloth shoes stained with oil and mud.
Behind him, there were two other people, a short woman with rough skin, and a thin child held tightly in the woman's arms.
What they have in common is:
Clothes are dirty and hair is greasy.
Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze, focused on the man again, and spoke calmly:
"Is there a problem?"
"Your Excellency." The man whose face was too dark to show his true face did not look ashamed because of his appearance. He raised his eyes to meet Jiang Yan's gaze, with a fanatical expression and a high-pitched voice:
"Sir, do you believe there is a god in the world?"
This... this sounds really familiar, and it's a missionary. You may not know that one of your predecessors was killed by the Yehuai Army the day before yesterday... Jiang Yan's thoughts turned around, and then he was no longer interested in this topic. interest.
He had no desire to answer and wanted to close the door and return.
At this time, the woman behind the man frowned, and at the same time, a not-so-loud cry echoed around her.
"Dad, the dog is hungry."
"Huh?" The man was startled when he heard the answer. He first glanced at Jiang Yan, and then turned to look at the baby in the woman's arms. His eyes no longer contained worry.
Without hesitation, the man immediately gave up "preaching":
"Let's go eat."
"Wait a moment."
A voice stopped the man. He turned around and looked at the young man who looked much taller than him because he was standing at the top of the stone steps with doubtful eyes:
"Young man, if you want to hear God's legends and His deeds, don't leave. I will come to you."
The god of shit... Jiang Yan glanced at the child who was crying weakly and his throat was squirming, and casually threw a piece of silver towards the man:
"If you plan to spread your faith to me, next time I see you, I will beat all three of you directly, and no one will be spared."
"Thank you, thank you." The man took the money, suddenly realized, and pulled the woman to thank her.
"Live a good life and don't trust others." Jiang Yan didn't care about the other party's thanks and said coldly:
"As a citizen of Yehuai City, no matter how difficult your life is, you still don't understand basic common sense. How could you be like this..."
He paused for a moment, seeming to formulate his words.
"Sir." At this time, the short woman holding the child spoke. She lowered her head and did not look at Jiang Yan. She only said in a slightly thin voice:
"If you believe in the Bone Bodhisattva, someone will stutter."
After hearing this sentence, Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly froze, and he felt as if he was suddenly transported back to the days when he was in the Dahe Gang mining area, a time when he was damaged by fatigue, disease, and harsh environment.
After ten breaths, he took a silent breath and his voice became deeper:
"Then why did you choose to preach?"
The woman replied:
"If one more person joins, there will be double the food."
