Zuo Qingya picked up the dead wild boar and threw it directly into the old lady's yard.
The loud thud startled the woman.
Upon seeing that it was a wild boar, the woman beamed with joy.
Zuo Qingya finished her work and left immediately.
Zuo Qingya didn't know where to go, so she could only wander aimlessly, going wherever the road took her. She didn't even know where she was, so she could only do this.
Zuo Qingya is now a little worried about the two little ones. She doesn't know how they are doing, but with Xiao Guaigua around, they should be fine, right?
Zuo Qingya didn't know where she was, so she just followed the road she saw and ended up at the foot of the city gate from yesterday.
Zuo Qingya followed the crowd into the city. Contrary to what Zuo Qingya had expected, all she saw were red buildings. The buildings inside were quite beautiful, but Zuo Qingya felt something was off. Although there was a fragrance lingering in her nose, the smell was really not good. It had a slightly fishy smell, but it was very faint. If you didn't smell it carefully, you wouldn't notice it. On the contrary, it felt very comfortable and even a little addictive.
When Zuo Qingya entered, she felt surrounded by eyes, as if countless eyes were staring at her.
Zuo Qingya closed her eyes and looked at the location she sensed, but there was nothing there; everything seemed normal.
Zuo Qingya could only consider herself a local and do what others did.
Zuo Qingya saw that there were incense sticks burning in front of each door, and there was a bowl in front of it containing a red liquid that looked a bit like blood. Zuo Qingya thought it was chicken blood, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Zuo Qingya had no money, so she could only find a corner to sit in. She was chased away as soon as she sat down by a beggar.
"Come on, come on, this is my territory. If you want to find a place to sleep, go to the riverbank. There are plenty of spots there."
Left with no other option, Zuo Qingya went to the riverbank. The beggar was right; the area was indeed quite large, but it was also packed with people. Zuo Qingya even saw people dressed in modern clothes there, just like herself.
Zuo Qingya noticed a seat next to the man, so she simply sat down there as well.
Zuo Qingya tugged at the man's sleeve and said, "Um, brother, do you know where this is? Why are there so many people here?"
The man shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
It seemed this man didn't know much about this place either, so Zuo Qingya had no choice but to give up and not ask him any more questions.
However, Zuo Qingya didn't ask, but the man was very outgoing. From the man, Zuo Qingya learned his name, where he came from, and how many brothers and sisters he had.
It turns out that the man fell from the crack. The people here are strange; there are many people during the day, but at night, it is quiet, like a dead city.
Hearing this, Zuo Qingya was puzzled. Didn't this man see those lights at night? No, it should be his eyes.
Zuo Qingya continued to listen to the man talk, and she learned quite a bit about the world.
The name Zuo Qingya has changed from "that person" to "big sister".
"Hey little sister, where are you from?"
Zuo Qingya could only use the same excuse as him, saying, "Like you, I also fell from the crack."
Upon hearing that Zuo Qingya had fallen in the same way as him, he almost became sworn brothers with her.
Zuo Qingya was speechless. But if they couldn't become sworn brothers, then he would just recognize a younger sister. Zuo Qingya didn't know what was wrong with this person, that he actually liked to recognize younger sisters.
"Hey, girl, how about we go grab a bite to eat together?"
Zuo Qingya shook her head. "Not very good."
Why?
Zuo Qingya looked at the man and said very seriously, "Because I have no money."
The man's lips twitched, but he couldn't bring himself to offer to treat, since he didn't have any money on him. If he had money, would he still be sleeping by the river? Wouldn't it be better to sleep in an inn?
Zuo Qingya looked at the man, but didn't have anything to say.
Zuo Qingya's stomach started to rumble in protest.
Clutching her stomach, she said, "I'm so hungry."
Zuo Qingya stood up and walked out.
The man immediately stood up upon seeing her. "Young lady, where are you going?"
Zuo Qingya rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm hungry, I'm going to find something to eat."
"Looking for something to eat?"
Hearing this answer, the man's eyes lit up. "So, girl, you know where to find food?"
Zuo Qingya shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just went out to try my luck."
The man stood up and said, "Then I'll go with you."
Zuo Qingya didn't care; if she wanted to follow, then so be it.
Zuo Qingya wanted to leave the city, but the man stopped her.
Zuo Qingya was puzzled.
"Young lady, it's almost dark, are you still brave enough to go out?"
"???"
Seeing Zuo Qingya's blank expression, the man knew that Zuo Qingya didn't understand.
The man, holding Zuo Qingya's hand, said, "Little sister, you really don't understand. Don't you know that there are ghosts outside at night?"
"ghost?"
The man nodded. "That's right, otherwise, why would the city gates close at this time?"
Zuo Qingya scratched her head, "But it's not dark yet, is it?"
The man looked at the sky and said, "Almost there, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
The man had just finished counting when it got dark, and Zuo Qingya could no longer see anything.
Zuo Qingya reached out and touched him, but couldn't touch anyone at all.
But Zuo Qingya could see that there was a place with many pairs of eyes.
Zuo Qingya walked over without hesitation.
As soon as Zuo Qingya walked in front of those eyes, she heard a familiar voice coming from them.
"Yu Xiaoxiao, so you've been here all along! We've been looking for you everywhere."
Zuo Qingya couldn't see people, but she could see pairs of eyes, and she could only walk in the direction of the sound she heard.
Zuo Qingya only felt something dangling in front of her eyes.
"You really can't see anything?"
Zuo Qingya nodded.
"Weren't you sleeping in your room? I was right beside you, so why did you disappear?"
Zuo Qingya shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."
"But when I woke up I was in a cemetery, and I don't know what happened." As she said this, a strange thought came to Zuo Qingya's mind: could she have encountered a ghost?
I have a creepy feeling about Zuo Qingya.
Zuo Qingya doesn't know which side is the ghost and which side is the human. What should she do?
Zuo Qingya even hated herself for coming here. How could she be so incompetent, with no ability to protect herself at all?
Is that so?
Zuo Qingya nodded.
“Then I’ll talk to the clan chief.”
Zuo Qingya nodded. "Mm."
Zuo Qingya waited for a while, and then she heard the familiar voice again.
"Yu Xiaoxiao, our clan leader wants you to come with us."
Zuo Qingya nodded. "Okay."
We've arrived at our destination.
Zuo Qingya didn't hide anything and told the clan leader about her experience that day. She wasn't naive; she just wanted to know what had happened.
