The door opened with a "squeak" sound. The old woman had a kind face. She glanced at Yuan Tong'er and said, "Come in!"

Yuan Tong'er followed her into the house, which was a clean and tidy two-bedroom apartment. The old woman took her into her house with unsteady steps and said, "You can sleep in my house."

The old woman didn't talk much, but she didn't ask any questions.

Yuan Tong'er was also relieved. He took out a piece of silver from his money bag and handed it to the old woman's hand.

"Grandma, this is money for accommodation."

The old woman froze, and the hand holding the silver trembled slightly, "Oh, my child, this is too much!"

Yuan Tong'er actually didn't have much idea about the value of silver here. He had heard that one tael of silver seemed to be a lot, so this ingot might cost several taels.

But in such a hurry, the ones Lu Xingzhou gave her were all so big, and she hadn't yet figured out where to go to get rid of them.

Fortunately, she also has a lot of money, so it's okay to be generous once in a while. After much persuasion, the old woman was persuaded to take the money and leave.

The cold moonlight shone on the blue tiles and the adobe walls were lined with simple wooden windows. Yuan Tong'er blew out the dim lights in the house.

The moonlight outside the window was shining, and occasionally there were a few faint coughs of the old man. She tossed and turned, and suddenly felt empty in her heart.

Alone again...

She didn't know when she fell asleep. She didn't wake up until about three o'clock in the morning.

There was a noise outside the door, and she went out. The old woman was sitting in the main room, with porridge and steamed buns already placed on the table.

"Nothing good, just eat some cushion!"

said the old man.

Yuan Tong'er was not polite and sat aside with a smile.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Yuan Tong'er took a small sip of porridge and chatted.

The old man replied, "I didn't hear it clearly. It seems like there are some victims fleeing the disaster again. Nowadays, the world is not good and everyone wants to squeeze into the city. There are too many such things."

She looked at Yuan Tong'er, her cloudy eyes dim.

"You are so young, why are you out here alone?"

Yuan Tong'er was silent. It was a long story. She couldn't explain to everyone how she got here. Simply don't speak.

The old woman also understood the truth and knew that she didn't want to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions and only asked her to eat some side dishes. He took the vegetable basket and went out.

"I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables. If you want to go out, just close the door!"

Yuan Tong'er nodded in response.

Looking at the sky, it wasn't too early. She had to finish her meal quickly and leave the city for refuge!

Not long after, there was a rustling sound from the courtyard door, and a man's voice came over.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Yuan Tong'er was stunned. Doesn't this old woman live alone?

The man opened the door, entered and closed the door, without forgetting to murmur: "Mom, we encountered something in the mountains and haven't been back for the past few days. Are you not afraid? "

Yuan Tong'er stuck her head out and replied: "Uh... aunt is going out."

The man was about forty years old. He was not tall, but his tendons were very strong.

You Qi's sharp eyes suddenly raised after hearing Yuan Tong'er's voice. The moment the two met their eyes, Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but feel nervous.

The man's smiling eyes also paused.

"Who are you……

Yuantong'er? "

The man suddenly asked. The eyes that paused seemed to suddenly have a flash of light, which made people shudder.

Only then did Yuan Tong'er realize that the man was holding an extremely sharp ax in his hand!

The blood all over her body froze instantly.

Like animals, humans always have inexplicable instinctive reactions when faced with things that threaten them.

Her subconscious was warning her that she was in danger and should run away! !

She staggered back a step and fell into the main room. At the same time, the man quickly ran over and struck with the ax——

"boom!"

The ax cut through the wooden door, and the sharp blade was right in front of Yuan Tong'er's eyes.

Just a little bit, just a little bit close!

Fortunately, she pushed the wooden door shut at the last moment to block the axe.

She felt like she had no time to breathe, so she quickly bolted the door, and then pulled the table and cabinet to block it.

"Bang! Bang bang! "

"Open the door!"

There was a loud banging on the door, accompanied by the man's roar, which seemed to hit Yuan Tong'er's heart.

Damn Lu Xingzhou, didn’t he say the killer was on that street? Why does it appear here?

Did he lie to her? !

The man outside the door gave a low smile and said, "I was worried about where to find you, but you came to my door yourself?"

As he spoke, he kept banging, knocking the dilapidated wooden door out of the gap bit by bit.

Every impact sound was like a heavy hammer hitting Yuan Tong'er's chest, and the fear reached its peak here.

How to do? !

She was an ordinary person who knew nothing, and yet she was reincarnated into the body of such a sick person.

Days of running around had already exhausted her body, and she didn't have much strength to begin with. She didn't know how long she could withstand it.

The only one who can save her now is Lu Xingzhou, but he is not here... In fact, Yuan Tong'er is no longer sure whether he will save her.

She is cannon fodder, supposed to be dead, a foreign invader in this world. Lu Xingzhou, with his system, is more like the maintainer of order in this world.

If you were to maintain order from Lu Xingzhou's perspective, the simplest and most effective way would be to eliminate the intruders!

Thinking of this, Yuan Tong'er regretted that she was still too young and believed others easily!

At the moment of life and death, Qu Baiyu's face flashed in her mind.

No, she needs to stay calm, the only one who can save her now is herself.

Suddenly, Yuan Tong'er noticed that at some point, there was no sound of banging outside the door. There was silence, as if everything just now was an illusion.

She subconsciously took half a step towards the door and looked out through the crack in the door that was opened by the man.

Suddenly, a scarlet eye appeared in the crack of the door. Yuan Tong'er was so frightened that she screamed and stepped back.

The wooden door was knocked open at once.

In the flying dust, the moment the man appeared, he also swung the ax in his hand towards Yuan Tong'er.

The ax was heavy and sharp, shining with a cold light, and split the table in front of them in half with just one blow.

Yuan Tong'er's feet weakened. There was no way to hide or hide, so he was forced to get into the inner room again and block the door.

The man slowly walked towards the inner room as if he were playing with a mouse.

"Little girl, come out quickly! You are the one on the top list of bounties in the ghost market. You have no way to survive...

Come out quickly, uncle will give you a good time! If you fall into the hands of others, I don’t know how they will torture you..."

His words were like a spell that urged people to die, each word was like a nail, piercing into Yuan Tong'er's heart.

Ghost market...reward...

What's going on? It seems like everyone in the world wants her life!

Yuan Tong'er worked hard to calm down her heart and couldn't be influenced by him, so she tried to find a way to escape!

The windows in the dormitory are closed. Even if they are forced to be opened, it will take some time. There is no escape route elsewhere.

Yuan Tong'er felt like crying for the first time.

Why would anyone want to kill her? She didn't even know what was happening to her!

She suddenly regretted it. If she were still with Qu Baiyu now, even if Qu Baiyu would still use her, at least he would still save her.

"What's going on here?"

The old woman's voice came in from outside.
