The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 394 Young Town ([-])
Beside the ancient well, the evening wind swayed the tender branches and leaves of the big willow tree.

The wind sent out a smell of rotting wood from the old and dilapidated house.

A woman who was an outsider in the small town, stood alone at the door of the house and stood quietly for a while.

Standing outside the door, she could clearly see the old central hall in the house in front of her. The tables and chairs on both sides of the hall were messy and fell on the ground, covered with dust and cobwebs.

There should be an inner courtyard behind the nave, and there may be some other old furniture in it.

However, the woman never raised her leg to step over the not too high stone threshold near her feet.

This house gave her an ominous premonition, making her feel that it would not be a good thing to rush in there.

Although she has no memory now, she is willing to trust her intuitive judgment.

The woman took one last look at the old house, turned sideways and walked towards the edge of the town.

She wanted to understand the layout of this place more clearly and walk around the town, but even she didn't know what the use of doing so would be.

Behind a stone wall not far away, several children, seeing that the woman turned and left instead of stepping into the old house, couldn't help but beat the wall and jumped with anger.

They were all very curious about the old house, but the adults never allowed them to enter.

At this moment, an outsider came to the town. They wanted to let the other party go in to try it out, but who knew that the woman was not very cooperative.

"Brother Shuan, what do you think we should do now?"

As one of the children spoke, he looked at the boy who was in charge of bringing the foreign girl here.

The latter looked coldly at the back of the woman in front who was going farther and farther, and replied, "Let's go with her today. Anyway, apart from that old house, there is no vacant house in the town for people to live in. If she wants to stay with us In the town, sooner or later you will live in that house."

"Come on, let's go home and eat first!"

After his words fell, the other children nodded in response.

"Okay, Brother Shuan, we all listen to you!"

As they spoke, these children surrounded each other and walked in the direction of their home.

In the sky, a round of red sun is urged towards the earth by the darkness behind it, it is about to sink below the horizon, taking away the last ray of light it left on the earth.

Looking from a distance, at the end where the sky and the earth meet, orange-red light, sky-blue light, and cloud-white light are all intertwined together. It looks very beautiful, but inside it hides the power of light and darkness competing with each other .

The woman who had walked around the city wall of the town quickly, was standing at the entrance of the stone wall when she came here, looking at the last afterglow of the horizon outside the hole in the wall.

After the afterglow disappeared completely, this unknown town also fell into darkness.

There was no wind outside the wall blowing in along the channel of the inner wall, and time seemed to freeze together with the arrival of darkness, and the woman who was still standing near the entrance couldn't feel whether she was cold or hot.

As if she sensed that someone was looking at her behind her, she had to turn around.

I saw a bright red lantern hanging on the door of every household on the stone street of the small town that was still pitch-black just now.

The woman's eyes narrowed a little, and she found that she could see the burning wick in the red lantern.

The wick is long and thin, but it is cut to look like a human being. Under the burning of the flame, it looks like a man on fire struggling inside the lantern.

The woman still didn't remember any of her past.

But she's already aware that there's something quirky about this town.

She planned to sit down at the base of the wall for the whole night, but just as she walked to the edge of the wall, the intestines in her stomach suddenly let out a hollow sound of "cuckoo". Protested by being hungry again.

The woman reached out and rubbed her shriveled stomach, and licked the corners of her chapped and peeling mouth.

It was only then that she realized that she was indeed thirsty and hungry.

Food would not fall out of thin air on the stone street, and the ancient well where she could drink water was on the other side of the town, a little far away from her.

So after thinking about it for a while, the woman turned her attention to those houses with red lanterns at the door.

In the dark night, her feet wearing old cloth shoes fell on the bluestone road, and she could hardly hear any sound.

From a distance, in the huge night, this small town with lights is so eye-catching.

In the small town, the deserted streets were illuminated by countless red lights, and a woman in ordinary clothes was walking alone on the street.She didn't make any sound, she was as quiet as a ghost.

Soon, the woman came to the door of the first family.

Looking at the two big copper rings outside the door of this family, she hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to pull a copper ring, and knocked on the door of this family.

"Boom, boom..."

The sound of the metal hard copper ring hitting the door panel is rapid and powerful.

The woman knocked on the brass ring five times, but there was still no sound of anyone speaking from behind the door. The host inside didn't even ask "Who is outside?", and only dealt with the visitors in silence.

The woman herself probably guessed something.

She put down the copper ring in her hand, and walked to the second house.

The eaves of this house are lower than that of the first house, and even the stone threshold at the door is lower than that of the house next door.

The woman looked at the door of this family, but there was no door knocker on it.

Just as the woman was thinking about whether she should knock on the door with her hand, suddenly, a hand stretched out from a small square opening in the lower right corner of the door, but the hand quickly retracted.

The woman took a closer look, and it turned out that the person inside grabbed two steamed buns and put them in the bowl, and then brought the bowl out from the small compartment and placed it not far from the woman's feet.

This kind of small partition near the gate is installed by many families here.

There are squares and rounds at the entrance of the hole, and a human head can't get in. At most, his arms can get in.

However, this partition was originally not for human use, but for cats and dogs raised at home to move in and out at night.

But when she was walking in the town this evening, why didn't she see any kittens or puppies?
The woman squatted down with doubts in her heart, picked up the bowl of steamed buns sent by this family, and held it in her hand.

Feeling that the steamed buns in the bowl were still warm, the woman picked up a steamed bun and brought it to her mouth, and took a small bite.

The mantou is very fragrant and soft, it should be the kind just out of the pan.

After eating something in her stomach, her stomach stopped making gurgling noises.

It's just that when the woman was about to bite off the second steamed bun, a sense of dizziness suddenly appeared in her mind.

This sudden dizziness seemed to have taken away her consciousness all at once, making her unable to stand still.

With a crisp "click", the steamed buns in the woman's hand fell to the bluestone slab with the bowl at her feet, and she also fell to the ground.

At the last moment before she fell into a coma, the woman heard the sound of every house door opening on the street.

She barely opened her eyes, but the last scene she saw was countless human feet wearing various shoes coming out of the room, walking towards her position.
