Yan Jingzhi followed Daliu into the city, and Shopkeeper Zhou will arrive at this time tomorrow, because she is riding in a horse-drawn carriage, while Shopkeeper Zhou is traveling in a donkey cart, and the two sides travel at different speeds.

After entering the city, Yan Jingzhi found that the city was not as lively as the previous places, but a little lifeless, and even the small vendors who were doing business did not shout.

The whole city seemed to be silenced. Except for the sound of cars and horses colliding, and some random footsteps, there was no other sound.

Yan Jingzhi looked at all kinds of things in the city, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, but now there is no news from Lu Yun, so she can only comfort herself and tell herself that she is fine.

Yan Jingzhi found an inn to rest his feet, and once he entered, the atmosphere was completely different, everyone's discussion sounded like a pot had exploded.

She sat down and listened for a while, but she didn't hear any useful information. What they discussed were all the things that the woman who was outside had already talked about.

The Japanese pirates disappeared after murdering the adults. The thieves like to rely on the water, so the surrounding mountains and forests are still safe now. Everyone's life will go on, and there are still many people going to the mountains to cut firewood.

Yan Jingzhi looked at the lively crowd below, turned around and went upstairs. Judging from the current situation, the city is still safe, but it should be more dangerous outside. It is better not to walk along the river recently.

Wait until tomorrow to find out who is the person lined up by the imperial court. As long as it is not Lu Yun, it will be fine. Please feel at ease in everything.

Yan Jingzhi simply washed up and lay down on the bed in the inn. The bedding outside was not very clean, especially in this ancient inn, it was even more unclean.

So when she slept, she still put a layer of cloth on top of her head, and she didn't take off her clothes, so she just lay down and slept.

The silvery moonlight came in from the outside, and there was a gloomy atmosphere through the paper window, Yan Jingzhi just lay on the bed, didn't sleep, just looked at it.

However, Yan Jingzhi gradually began to feel drowsy after being exhausted for a long time. Just as his eyes were about to close, a scream came from below: "Help, I killed someone!"

The silent street was completely awakened by this scream. Everyone has been in fear for the past few days. This cry directly broke the nerves of many people, and they could no longer maintain the superficial calm.

There was a lot of crying and shouting downstairs, and the people downstairs came out and rampaged on the street.

The people living upstairs also began to commotion, everyone walked out of the room, crying louder and louder, Yan Jingzhi lay on the bed indifferently, in fact, he was still a little scared.

The criminal law in ancient times was not as strict as it is in modern times, and such things as killing people and paying for their lives were only aimed at people who were wrongly killed or who were not guilty of death, and some people died before being exposed to the public.

Even though the security in the city was so strict, there was still chaos underneath. Yan Jingzhi walked to the window tremblingly, and secretly opened the window a crack. Along the gap, Yan Jingzhi saw her window Facing the door, a patrolling soldier fell to the ground with a large pool of blood. Yan Jingzhi looked at it from this angle and could just see his head twisting in a strange posture.

Yan Jingzhi's hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Because the distance was too far, he could only take a rough look. He didn't see anything too bloody, but he still had a chill.

It turned out that the person who just yelled about murder was really someone who died, and the person who died was not an ordinary person.

Yan Jingzhi tried her best to calm down her breathing, but her hands were still shaking uncontrollably. The outside was already a mess, and the thatch in several places was even burned.

The fire shone on the vast fleeing crowd, and time began to stop again. Yan Jingzhi suddenly felt that the room became quiet, and her head was a little dizzy.

It was the first time for her to experience the riots in ancient times. If they were all at this level tonight, it would be too terrifying.

Yan Jingzhi lowered his head and shifted his sight slightly. The people outside were in a hurry. It stands to reason that the inside of the inn is always louder than the outside. After all, there is still a shelter. If you go outside, then Isn't it exposing the vision to others.

It's better for her to wait and see what happens, after all, she doesn't know where to go when she goes out.

His eyes shifted a bit forward, the person in front was running here in a panic, Yan Jingzhi saw a gleaming knife, raised the knife in his hand, the red knife went in and the white knife came out, and pulled out from a person's body come out.

The man fell down with a terrified expression on his face, revealing the short man behind him. The short man showed a sinister smile, with a few bandages wrapped around his body, his whole body was wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Yan Jingzhi's hairs stood on end, the little man laughed a few times, and continued to hunt and kill the people running around on the street, Yan Jingzhi finally understood why they were running away, the little man killed the people on the street Afterwards, he even kicked open the door, killing the people inside.

Yan Jingzhi broke out in a cold sweat, and stared at the little man with righteous eyes. He was slowly moving towards the direction where Yan Jingzhi was. Suddenly, his head turned around, and his cold eyes slowly turned upwards. Moving, looking straight at Yan Jingzhi.

At this moment, there was no living person on the street, except for the corpse, only the short man was left, and the shouts of officers and soldiers came from a distance.

Yan Jingzhi stood motionless in front of the window, the little man was staring at her, she didn't dare to act rashly now, just stood like this, the people below stared at her without turning their eyes and wiped their knives, then suddenly smiled .

Yan Jingzhi withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and the window fell with a "bang" because there was no support, which was particularly harsh in the slightly silent air.

Yan Jingzhi withdrew his trembling hand. He had never encountered such a scene since he was a child. The person just saw him clearly. Where did he want to hide? It is estimated that the shopkeeper has already run away now, and he can't pay back at all. Here, the people below have also become a mess.

I should have known that I ran with them just now.

While thinking, Yan Jingzhi picked up the package on the bed and ran away. The package was not opened, it was supposed to be convenient for her to get up and go on the road tomorrow morning, but now it is convenient for her to escape.

There are some daily necessities inside, just enough to survive this period of time, even if you get separated from the main force, it doesn't matter, she can survive alone.

Yan Jingzhi went downstairs very fast, and immediately ran downstairs, the downstairs was already in a mess, Yan Jingzhi rushed out without hesitation, hiding in the alleys and running around.

She was familiar with the terrain here during the day, and the terrain next to the inn was not complicated. After passing through a few private houses and a large forest, you can go up the mountain. The top of the mountain here is mostly a hill.

Moreover, there are people patrolling the mountain all year round. Except for some easy prey, there is nothing dangerous at all. On the contrary, the lower part is more dangerous than the mountain.

Yan Jingzhi ran non-stop. Today, he sat in the car for a whole day, and he didn't get down and walked at all. He rested in the inn for a while, so he didn't feel particularly tired after running.

Not long after Yan Jingzhi left the inn, the dwarf on the street rushed into the inn and hacked, but there was no one inside. The dwarf ran up to the second floor to have a look and searched, but there was still no one.

I could only curse a few words in an incomprehensible language angrily.

Yan Jingzhi had already run a long way, and stopped panting. This place was not safe enough, and others could easily catch up with her. She just took a breath and continued to run forward.

This forest is particularly large, Yan Jingzhi has already run far away, and is still in the middle of the forest, her physical strength is still good, not very tired.

She felt that during the time she came to exercise, she could go back to modern times to participate in a marathon, and she might be able to rank a little bit, not to mention gold, silver, bronze, etc., there should still be some in the top ten.

If it wasn't because of the heavy load, she should have run faster, and a raging fire ignited behind her. The inn where Yan Jingzhi was still just now has been engulfed by the fire, and even the surrounding houses were not spared.

Yan Jingzhi gritted her teeth and continued to run forward. She didn't know what happened behind. This time, the small riot may intensify, or it may be suppressed by the superiors, and then the Japanese slaves will pay the price, but now these Things are beyond her imagination, she can only stay away from that area now.

Japanese slaves don't know how to go into the mountains, so it's safest to run up the mountain now. Yan Jingzhi quickly ran to the edge of the forest and got into the mountain. Although it is summer now, the temperature in the mountain is very low at night. Because Yan Jingzhi used to often go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, he can run with ease now.

The moonlight shines on the path up the mountain, Yan Jingzhi looks at his feet, and then jumps quickly among the mountains. He has just climbed a small slope and is about to go down again. The road that Yan Jingzhi looks at is not special difficulty.

Gritting his teeth, he drilled down.

The dwarf in the back was not very far away from her, and even called a few accomplices, but because Yan Jingzhi ran fast, they ran some distance, so they didn't catch up with Yan Jingzhi for a while.

Now watching her go straight into the mountain, he waved to his two companions and continued to chase Yan Jingzhi.

Yan Jingzhi finally got down the mountain, turned her head and looked back, the three people above were looking at her gloomyly, she was so frightened that her legs began to weaken, she gritted her teeth and ran forward desperately, secretly crying in her heart , so many people why these three people are staring at themselves.

So he didn't care whether there were thorns or not in front of him, he just rushed forward with his head depressed. The trees on both sides were not dense, but more of low shrubs. hurt.

Not long after, the clothes on her body were torn, and there were even several cuts on her hands, but she didn't feel any pain at all, only felt that the three knives fastened on the back of her neck were shining brightly, He almost kissed his neck.

She turned over two hills, and she couldn't run anymore, and her speed slowed down obviously, but the people behind were still chasing after her. They followed the path that Yan Jingzhi walked, compared to Yan Jingzhi It was much faster to go up, Yan Jingzhi leaped lightly, and jumped down steadily from a little height above.

But she couldn't run anymore, she had never experienced such hardships at all, her legs were trembling uncontrollably due to fear and exhaustion, her mind was running fast, thinking while staggering What should I do.

In the first few turnings up the mountain, if the speed is fast, they should be able to get rid of them, but Yan Jingzhi doesn't have much strength now, she can't wait to lie on the ground immediately, she really can't run anymore.

The creepy laughter of the Japanese slave came from behind, she glanced back, and the glaring knife approached a little closer, she didn't know whether to cut her throat first or stab her in the stomach.

Yan Jingzhi accelerated a bit at last, and rushed forward quickly, and the three people behind chased forward without any hurry. They had already seen that Yan Jingzhi could not run anymore, and now they were just chasing her like a prey, driving her away.

Even if she ran to the front now, they could still catch up. Yan Jingzhi sprained her feet and rested against the bush next to her. She really couldn't run now, and she almost had only one breath left to breathe. with.

Suddenly, an arm stretched out from behind to cover Yan Jingzhi's mouth. She looked down and saw a slender hand with blood stains around her waist. She felt a strong force pulling herself back instantly. Go, then her eyes went dark, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and the people next to her were quickly covering the hole.

Yan Jingzhi didn't realize what happened for a while, but he still subconsciously helped her to block the hole bit by bit. The two of them had just put it away when there was a sound of footsteps not far away. It's not very close, but it can be clearly heard here.

Yan Jingzhi couldn't help holding his breath, and waited for the sound of footsteps to pass before breathing heavily.

The air here is not very turbid, and it should have been ventilated for a long time. She sat and leaned here, touching rocks under her hands, and the cave was also very dry, but because of the darkness in front of her eyes, she didn't know Who is sitting across from her.

She moved a little, this should be a small cave with five people wide and one high, but I don't know how deep it is.

After a while, Yan Jingzhi took out the fire bag in the package, blew on it slightly, and the faint sparks flickered and became the only light in the darkness. The man seemed to want her to do something, groping Handed her a handful of dry grass and a small bundle of dead twigs and nothing happened.

It was very cold in the cave, Yan Jingzhi tremblingly held the handful of hay, carefully gathered it on the fire fold, and then blew on it, the sparks from above fell on the hay, burning hotly, and soon ignited .

Yan Jingzhi didn't care about other things, he quickly added a lot of firewood into it, and put his hands together to feel better.

The person on the opposite side didn't say a word at all, Yan Jingzhi stepped back, put her hands on the fire, the jumping flames cast shadows on Yan Jingzhi's face, she raised her head, Against a bloodless face.

The man was leaning haggardly on the stone wall, eyes closed, expressionless, a lively face, but now it looks lifeless, Yan Jingzhi looked at her stiffly, and murmured three times in disbelief One word: "Miss Lu..."
