In the evening, the sun, which had lavished light and heat all day long, slowly sank with reluctance. The orange-red glow, with little remaining warmth, started from the western sky and quickly filled the entire earth.
Xinye, a city that Liu Bei had run for six or seven years and had the appearance of a military town, was now silent, like a dead zone where all life was dead.
"Uh-huh..."
A sharp and piercing cry of an eagle came from the sky.
After a while, an eagle with wings spread over five meters long and a body as tall as an adult flew out from above the woods a few hundred steps away.
Wherever it flies, a huge black shadow will be left on the ground, which reminds people of the sentence in "Xiaoyaoyou" - its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.
Suddenly, it came towards the ground, and the strong wind it brought caused the loess on the ground to fly.
With a muffled sound, it fell to the ground, its bulging chest rising and falling.
"Flyed five miles"
Cao Yi walked out of the woods with a look of helplessness on his face.
During the more than one hundred miles from Xiangyang to Xinye, Xiaotian flew six times.
It flew three miles at a time.
He flew two miles three times.
It flew four miles at a time.
The farthest is now, flying five miles.
As an eagle with spiritual power, flying like this makes people speechless and puzzled.
The big eagle, or Xiaotian, when he heard Cao Yi's words, immediately stopped panting, held his head high, raised his chest, and raised his mouth, looking stern.
“It’s time to lose weight”
When Cao Yi passed by it, he dropped a word.
This made Xiao Tian let out a roar of dissatisfaction.
It seems to say that you don't understand the situation at all.
Not long after, Cao Yi came to the city gate. He glanced at the word "Xinye" written on the city wall and stepped into the city.
There are empty buildings on both sides, and in the middle is a bluestone road hundreds of steps long. The ground is full of messy things, giving people the impression that it is a city that was abandoned when the soldiers and civilians hurriedly retreated.
After a stick of incense.
After walking a few streets, Cao Yi stopped in front of a courtyard that wasn't that good.
After looking at it for a few times, he nodded: "That's it."
The half-open door opened automatically, as if alive, revealing a quiet courtyard.
There are two trees planted in the yard, one is a jujube tree and the other is a locust tree.
Next to the jujube tree, there was a stone roller with a lot of grain left on it. Obviously, the owner left in a hurry.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came. In the yard, dust was flying for a while.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Tian swept in from above the courtyard wall.
Cao Yi raised his hand and waved it in front of his mouth and nose and said, "Go around Xinye City a few times to see if there is anyone suspicious."
Xiao Tian tilted his head and looked at Cao Yi doubtfully.
"Just people like you and me"
Cao Yi said nothing and pushed the door open and entered a house.
Xiaotian screamed strangely to show that he understood, then flapped his wings and left the small courtyard.
In the simply furnished room, Cao Yi opened the lid of the purple, gold and red gourd and took himself in.
This is a space the size of two double bedrooms, with an area of approximately 40 square meters.
On one side were miscellaneous things, and on the other side was a small patch of land planted with various spiritual herbs.
Cao Yi sat down cross-legged and used the Golden Liquid Return Pill method to absorb the spiritual energy of plants and trees. Tonight, he might meet the pre-Qin Qi practitioner, so he must be in the best condition.
Not long after the exercise, an uncomfortable feeling came from the Dantian.
Looking inside, the aura of vegetation met the flames and burned, becoming a fire aura.
The flames were like a greedy child, constantly devouring the spiritual energy of the vegetation, making the incoming vegetation spiritual energy very manic.
"They must be separated"
After trying several times without success, Cao Yi stopped absorbing the spiritual energy of plants and trees. Get up and get out of the purple, gold and red gourd.
It was already dark, and the room was pitch black.
Cao Yi took out a classic and read it silently.
After a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of slight footsteps and the sound of someone climbing over the wall.
Cao Yi ignored it.
After a while, the door was pushed open with a creak.
A boy of eleven or twelve years old, dressed in rags, walked in.
Cao Yi saw that he didn't look like the master of this family, so he didn't say anything.
Because the room was dark, the young man didn't see Cao Yi. I walked into the back room and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, seemingly looking for something.
After a while, the boy returned, sat down on the ground and held his stomach and said: "One, there is no food at all, so-and-so is starving to death."
After saying that, the young man lay down on the ground, touched a soft thing with his hand, squeezed it, let out a surprise, then picked it up and put it to his mouth and took a bite: "Steamed, steamed cakes are so delicious."
Then, he ate hungrily.
After eating, the boy continued to touch,
"There are two more, a steamed cake."
"Yes, it's green plum, so sour."
"And a jug of water, water."
The more the boy ate, the happier he became.
“Are you full?”
A faint voice sounded.
"There is a ghost"
The boy's butt jumped up as if there was a spring, and he rushed out. He accidentally hit the door frame, made an ouch, and squatted down with his face covered.
Cao Yi smiled and turned around to see an oil lamp stained with oil on the table beside him.
He stretched out his fingers, and a flame jumped out. Lighting the oil lamp, the room was immediately enveloped in dim light. Paired with the antique rooms, it is very beautiful.
"bright"
The young man stood up suddenly and turned around.
Seeing that Cao Yi was well-dressed, the fear on his face was lessened. He rolled his eyes a few times and said, "So-and-so returned the favor. I thought no one had left your house, so I just came in."
Cao Yi glanced at the young man and asked, "Why don't you go south with Liu Yuzhou?"
The young man glanced at Cao Yi and said cautiously: "I'm waiting for my mother."
Cao Yi nodded and asked, "What's your name?"
When the young man heard Cao Yi ask his name, he thought that Cao Yi was going to pursue him, so he turned around and ran away. He bumped into the door frame again for some reason. With an ouch, he covered his head and squatted down.
"What is your name?"
Cao Yi asked again.
The young man stood up slowly, turned around, and murmured for a long time before saying: "彘, 彘'er"
That’s the name!
Cao Yi smiled and said, "What's your last name?"
The young man glanced at Cao Yi and said with a look of shame: "My surname is Deng."
The surname is Deng!
Stutter!
Eleven or twelve years old!
Cao Yi looked the young man up and down for a while and said, "You are from Jiyang and your ancestors are from a wealthy family. Your father died young and it was your mother who raised you, right?"
The young man's mouth was half open, his face full of disbelief.
Cao Yi opened the gourd lid, and with a thought, three plates of steamed buns and a pot of water appeared on the table.
“You’re not full yet”
The young man, or rather little Deng Ai, swallowed, walked over, thanked him, sat down, held the steamed bun in one hand and the kettle in the other, and started eating and drinking.
After a while, I started coughing because I ate too fast.
