The young soldier of magic begins to penetrate the heavens

Chapter 17 The Dead Spring City
After these words came out, almost all three of them fell into deep thought.

It is impossible for 10 people to evacuate Chunzi City silently.

But since these people didn't leave, where did they go?
Even if Bei Minglei slaughtered the city frantically, there would always be corpses, right? !

Besides, massacring his own people does him no good at all.

"When did it happen?"

Su Rin continued to ask Granny Chen.

"It is said that it was several days ago, and this happened the day after the army withdrew."

Granny Chen's breathing was extremely uneven, obviously she couldn't accept this kind of thing.

Su Rin had no choice but to settle her down first, and let her go into the room to rest and talk.

And he was sitting with Bei Mingxue on the stone steps outside the house.

"What do you think about this?"

"I...I don't know, I feel like my mind is in a mess right now..."

Bei Mingxue shook her head tiredly and replied.

"I want to visit Chunzi City, can you take me there?"

She said in a pleading tone while grabbing his sleeves with both hands.

Su Rin sighed softly, he did have the idea of ​​visiting Chunzi City,
He knew that Axue would definitely follow, after all, those people were all the people of Beiming Snow Region.

"My feet are fine, don't worry about me."

Seeing Su Rin's complex expression, she immediately guessed what was going on in his mind, and hurriedly explained.

"It's okay if you can't even walk, so don't be brave."

He said with a helpless smile, although taking Bei Mingxue there was somewhat troublesome, but she knew the specific situation and routes in Chunzi City better.

So bringing her has only advantages and no disadvantages.

……

Early the next morning, the two bid farewell to Granny Chen and started heading towards Chunzi City.

Because Bei Mingxue's leg was still not healed, Su Lin could only walk with her on her back.

Fortunately, this woman is not heavy, only about ninety catties.

Given his current physical condition, even reciting a few more is not an easy task.

"Chunzi City is not far ahead."

Axue, who was lying on Su Lin's back, pointed to the outline of an ancient city in the pale world and said.

At the same time, her mood became tense.

Naturally, Su Lin also saw the city in the distance, the depth of the city wall alone was comparable to their Nangong City.

Because there was no danger warning popping up, he naturally felt relieved and went boldly.

"Perhaps... what Granny Chen said is indeed true."

When he approached, he saw that on the towering city tower and outside the city gate, there was no soldier or passing merchant and traveler.

Just like a dead city, it looks very strange.

The scene they saw after entering the city gate made them restless for a long time.

Countless prosperous buildings and houses stand here, and the floor is covered with some kind of special non-slip bluestone floor tiles.

It gives people a feeling of dreaming back to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

But it is such a large city street in Nuo that there is not a single person in sight.

Su Lin slowed down her pace, observing everything around her from time to time.

A big question arose in my heart.

If they left with the army, or the people fled by themselves.

But the grounds of these houses in front of them are very clean and tidy, and there has been no commotion at all.

Bei Mingxue naturally also discovered this problem, she pointed to one of the attics beside the street and said, "Go in here and have a look."

Su Lin looked up and found that it was a grain store.

creak...

After he pushed open the half-hidden door, he found that it was still empty and there was no one there.

It's just that there are bags of rice on the shelves, and there are even some whole grains.

"It doesn't make sense. If you flee...it's impossible to leave so much food."

"Could it be that these people disappeared out of thin air?"

Su Lin rubbed her chin habitually and began to think.

After checking to make sure there was no one here, he continued walking towards the center of the city according to Ashe's instructions.

What I saw was similar to that of the grain shop. The fruit stand and some shops selling other things were all intact, as if the boss was still selling things here just now.

The two waited and watched as they walked forward, and soon came to the central square of Chunzi City.

According to what Asue said, this square is the largest in Yulong Kingdom, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Every year they hold a grand event and the like are here.

"Do you see anything on the ground in the square?"

Bei Mingxue's sharp eyes quickly noticed the difference.

"It seems to be some kind of pattern painted?"

After hearing the words, Su Lin walked over and found that there was indeed a huge pattern on the ground, which almost surrounded half of the square.

He bent down and touched the pattern with his hand, and found that it seemed to be drawn with some kind of powder.

But since he can't fly, otherwise he would be able to see the complete giant pattern from above.

"Has a strange smell..."

Su Rin took the pattern-painting paint to his nose, smelled it, and frowned.

"What is it?"

Bei Mingxue also smelled it naturally, but the smell was very strange, like a rancid smell with a strange and slightly fragrant smell.

"I don't know what this is, so let's save it for now."

As Su Lin said, she put the paint powder on the ground into a small bottle with her hands.

Just when the two of them were about to continue to look towards the city lord's mansion, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing past the corner of the house in the distance.

Without waiting for Bei Mingxue to ask the reason, he directly chased after him.

He thought it might be some kind of enemy, but when he chased into the alley, he found that it was just a child in tattered clothes, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. , was dirty, as if he hadn't showered in years.

When he saw Su Rin and others coming, he shivered in the corner with a terrified expression.

"who are you?"

Su Lin asked quietly, but did not approach immediately, but stood seven or eight meters away.

It's not easy to meet a living person, and maybe know some useful information.

"No...no, all gone...hahaha...all gone..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing the question, this person yelled nervously, cried and laughed for a while, and scratched the wall behind him frantically with both hands.

"Looks not in good spirits..."

Su Rin was a little helpless, finally met a living person, but unexpectedly turned out to be a lunatic.

"Could it be caused by being overly frightened?" Bei Mingxue raised her eyebrows and asked.

This possibility cannot be ruled out, just like when Granny Chen came back after hearing the news, she started talking nonsense.

"It's possible, but we have to find a way to calm him down first."

Looking at the child scratching the wall with both hands, his fingers have been worn out. If he continues to self-mutilate like this, he may die before he can even ask.

"You put me down, I'll go alone..."

After thinking about it, Ashue suggested.

"No, what if someone goes crazy?" Su Rin directly rejected this method.

I saw him stepping forward with a big stride, and his big hand had already slapped the child on the back of the neck.

Then his body softened and he fell into a coma.

"This is the most simple and rude way."
