Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

So, Gongsun Ce sat up, and Bao Zheng got up slowly.

After the two got up, they briefly washed and washed. Gongsun Ce was about to turn around to get his coat, but Bao Zheng had already put the coat on him, and said with a frown, "It's cold in the morning, put it on quickly."

Gongsun Ce agreed, then put on his coat, turned around and saw that Bao Zheng's belt hadn't been tied yet, so he went over, took the belt, bowed his head and tied it up skillfully.

These are some natural movements after the two of them share the same bed for a few days, and it seems that they have become a habit unconsciously?

Bao Zheng looked down, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

When the two of them finished grooming, put on their clothes and walked out of the wing room, they saw Zhan Zhao coming out of the main room with a basin of water.

Seeing Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng, he hurriedly raised his voice to say hello, "Brother Bao, Brother Gongsun!"

Gongsun Ce smiled and walked over, while Bao Zheng nodded and walked straight to the kitchen.

Zhan Zhao tilted his head and watched Bao Zheng walking towards the kitchen, and looked at Gongsun Ce who was walking with some confusion, "Brother Gongsun, what is Brother Bao doing there? Are you looking for something to eat? I still have a few steamed buns here."

Gongsun Ce smiled and shook his head, "No, he's going to cook."

Zhan Zhao groaned, but didn't say anything. Although the gentleman is far away from cooking, Zhan Zhao knew when he was in Luzhou that his Brother Bao was not only good at investigating cases, but also good at cooking. However, Brother Bao was very good at cooking. I seldom cook by myself, and most of the time I would rather go outside to buy some steamed buns and dry food.

Why are you cooking by yourself now?However, there is no one else in this inn except for a few of them. Brother Bao must not want to eat steamed buns anymore, so he plans to do it himself, so he has enough food and clothing, right?

"How is Xiaobai?" Gongsun Ce asked, looking down at the plate of water in Zhan Zhao's hand, it smelled bloody, Gongsun Ce couldn't help frowning, did the wound open again?

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Xiaobai is much better." After a pause, seeing Gongsun Ce frowning looking at the basin of water in his hand, he said in a low voice, "It was I who quarreled with Xiaobai last night, my arm injured."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Zhan Zhao's arm, there was a faint smell of blood.

Gongsun Ce's heart sank, and he was a little displeased. Why did he get hurt after arguing?

"It's okay, I just accidentally cut a small wound, and Xiaobai is also very sad." Seeing that Gongsun Ce's face was not looking good, Zhan Zhao hurriedly said.

Xiao Bai was so angry with his own words that he did it. When Xiao Bai cut his arm, he already regretted it.Although Xiaobai is still awkward and silent now, he knows that Xiaobai regrets and feels sad.

He didn't want Brother Gongsun and Brother Bao to have a bad impression of Xiaobai, Xiaobai was his first friend and best brother!He hoped that Brother Bao and Brother Gongsun, whom he liked and respected, could also like Xiaobai as much as he did.

Although Big Brother Bao and Big Brother Gongsun never said anything, he knew that Big Brother Bao was actually a little cold towards Xiao Bai, and Big Brother Gongsun was a little better than Big Brother Bao, but this time Xiao Bai was injured, which made Big Brother Gongsun very angry.Otherwise, I wouldn't have tormented Xiaobai like that yesterday...

Gongsun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise. He never expected that Zhan Zhao would defend Bai Yutang like this. After all, in his previous life, what Zhan Zhao disliked the most was Bai Yutang's stubborn, stubborn and awkward temper. Because when this bad temper is in danger, he fights with Bai Yutang angrily!

Sure enough, because I was still a child, because I was the first friend I met, so can I tolerate it?

Gongsun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao, and the corner of his mouth curled into a soft smile.

——That's...not bad.

Gongsun Ce nodded with a smile, "Xiaobai has suffered a lot this time, please be more considerate."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly responded, "Oh, good!"

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he turned around leisurely and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Bao Zheng turned around with a bowl of gruel and a plate of side dishes, and saw that Gongsun Ce's smiling eyes were still shining with cunning and complacency, like a cat stealing fish.

Bao Zheng couldn't help smiling, and there was a pampering in the smile.

"What's wrong with Zhan Zhao?" Bao Zheng motioned Gongsun Ce to sit down, and asked softly while handing him chopsticks and spoons.

Gongsun Ce said it with a smile on his face. Bao Zheng frowned slightly after hearing this, and was a little displeased with Bai Yutang, but thinking that Bai Yutang was still a child after all, and seeing Gongsun Ce's smiling and happy face, he knew that there must be something wrong here. If there is something that makes Gongsun Ce happy, he puts away his dislike.

After finishing their meal quietly, the two walked out of the kitchen. After Gongsun Ce said something to Zhan Zhao, they pushed open the door of the inn and walked out.

The scattered corpses lying on the ground outside have disappeared, leaving only bloodstains on the ground, and there is a faint nauseating smell of blood in the air.

Gongsun Ce frowned and looked at Bao Zheng, "They're pretty quick!"

Bao Zheng's eyes flickered, he took Gongsun Ce's hand, and said in a low voice, "Let's take a stroll around here."

Gongsun Ce nodded, that's fine.You can't go too far. If there is danger, it will be troublesome. There should be some interesting things nearby.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce walked slowly. While walking, they looked around carefully. The surrounding area was too quiet.It's not like there's really no one there, is it?

Gongsun Ce frowned, looking at the blood on the ground, where did the people of Qinghe County go?If he really died unfortunately, then there should be bones, right?

"Let's go to Yizhuang!" Bao Zheng stared at the blood on the ground for a long time before whispering.

Gongsun Ce nodded slightly, but... it would be better to wait for Zhan Zhao to come. "Bao Zheng, are you going now?"

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce, and he understood Gongsun Ce's worry in his heart, but when he glanced around, Bao Zheng said in a deep voice, "It's okay, we have to go now!"

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand why Bao Zheng suddenly became so solemn, but Gongsun Ce didn't object, nodded and followed Bao Zheng's pace.The two quickened their pace and walked all the way. At the same time, Gongsun Ce was paying attention to the shops and routes along the way, silently remembering in his heart, whether there is still a map in the county government. If not, then he must write it down as soon as possible. The topography of the annex and the distribution of shops.

Finally, they passed through most of Qinghe County, and finally found Yizhuang near the west gate of Qinghe County.

When he arrived at Yizhuang, Gongsun Ce finally understood why Bao Zheng was so anxious to find Yizhuang!

Gongsun Ce stood silently behind Bao Zheng, looking at the corpses piled up like a hill in front of him, were all the dead people thrown here?

Looking at the terrified, wide-eyed, bloody corpses before death, Gongsun Ce felt suffocated, especially when he saw that there were a few children among the piled up corpses...

Gongsun Ce clenched his hands into fists, and looked up at Bao Zheng in front of him, but he saw Bao Zheng standing upright without saying a word, but the anger and chill all over his body radiated strongly.

Gongsun Ce knew that Bao Zheng was furious!

And at this moment, in the oppressive and suffocating air here, there was a sudden creak.

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng followed the sound immediately.

Not far away, a skinny old man walked tremblingly pushing a cart, and the cart was full of corpses!

Gongsun Ce couldn't help but shrink his pupils!These corpses are...

Gongsun Ce stared at the old man closely, but Bao Zheng took a step back after recovering his senses, and held Gongsun Ce's hand tightly, all the while being vigilant.

In Qinghe County, which has almost become a dead city, it is really strange that such an old man suddenly appeared!

And the old man slowly pushed the cart, with a numb face and cloudy eyes, he glanced at Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng numbly, then tremblingly unloaded the corpses in the cart, throwing them down one by one .

During this process, Gongsun Ce noticed that the old man didn't seem to take these corpses seriously. He dropped the corpses as if he was dropping a sack. Seeing that Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng were the same, they threw down the corpses one by one. After the corpses were thrown away, the old man turned around and walked away slowly step by step pushing the cart.

Gongsun Ce wanted to catch up, but Bao Zheng held him back. Gongsun Ce turned his head and looked at Bao Zheng in bewilderment.Why not catch up?Apart from Pang Tong, this old man is the only living person he has seen so far.

But Bao Zheng pointed to the corpses on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Let's do an autopsy first." After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Since the old man is the body collector, he should come back."

Gongsun Ce understood, and immediately nodded, "Okay."

Bao Zheng let go of Gongsun Ce's hand, and Gongsun Ce and Gongsun Ce started the autopsy respectively.

The cause of death of these people is not complicated.After two incense sticks, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce stood up.

The two looked at each other and found that the other's expression was extremely gloomy.

The two were silent for a while, and Bao Zheng spoke first, with a low and hoarse voice, "Causes of death include falling to death, killing with knives and swords. Among them, falling to death accounted for the majority. There were 90 dead, of which 58 were killed by crushing. Whether it was crushed to death or cut with a sword, they were all injured by whipping and kicking before they died."

After hearing this, Gongsun Ce nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's the same here. Among the 75 people, 40 were killed by crushing, and they were also injured by whipping and kicking before they died."

Bao Zheng looked in the direction of the city gate, stared at the city gate for a while, and then said, "Let's go to the city gate to have a look."

At this time, several fast horses were galloping towards Qinghe County!
