There are some shops along the street, but they are very deserted.
There was no shouting, no sound, everything was empty, there was no breath of life at all, it was as if the surroundings were dead.
A gust of wind blew up and picked up the yellow paper money that had not been scattered on the ground. Behind several windows, there was a faint whimpering sound, as if someone was crying softly there.
"Why is it so deserted here?" Leng Wuxiang couldn't help but shuddered.
From the murderous military camp to here, I instantly felt like falling into an ice cave, and my mood hit rock bottom.
Lu Yu pointed to the gold-lettered plaques hanging in front of every house and said, "Have you seen that plaque? It's called the 'Guigui Plate' and is issued by the Ministry of War. If someone in the army is confirmed dead, he will be awarded
This plaque.”
"Yin Tianming said that this is the resettlement place for the families of the defenders. We must have passed through six or seven alleys when we walked here. Almost every household has a soul sign hanging. The men in their family died on the battlefield and stayed behind.
The orphans and widowed mothers have no choice but to stay here. If you are good at cultivation, you can find your own way out. If you are not at a high level, you may be robbed by robbers when you go out, so it is better to stay here and survive."
Leng Wuxiang took a breath: "So many people died?"
"The situation at Tianchong Pass is far worse than imagined. As the head coach of one side, Wen Xinghou will not disappear for no reason. There must be something hidden. Okay, we are here."
Lu Yu and Leng Wuxiang came to a house in the deepest part of the alley.
The house is dilapidated and the outer wall has cracked, revealing the rocks inside that are made of loess and grass stalks.
Da da da!
Lu Yu knocked on the door and waited quietly.
I heard a burst of fast footsteps coming from inside, but the door did not open, but a sneaky figure poked out from the wall.
"Who is it, come out!" Leng Wuxiang shouted.
The figure immediately jumped off the wall, and then a child's childish cry came from the yard: "Mom, there are two weirdos coming outside!"
Actually a child?
squeak——
The door opened a little, and a weak female voice came from inside: "Two grown men came to Widow's Lane, maybe they found the wrong person?"
Lu Yu said: "I am a distant relative of Ning Shou. I came to Tianchong Pass specifically to find him. Is he at home?"
The courtyard door was silent for a while, then suddenly opened, and a woman dressed in simple clothes appeared inside.
The woman's face was a little pale. Behind him, there was a little boy about seven or eight years old, with a tiger-like head and a tough head, looking at Lu Yu and the two with a pair of big eyes.
"Come in." The woman said softly.
Lu Yu and Leng Wuxiang walked into it, and a simple house suddenly appeared in front of them.
There are two houses in the entire yard, but the main house has collapsed and the windows are hollow. You can clearly see that it is in ruins. Only the smaller side house is still intact.
The ground in the yard was full of potholes and was very dilapidated. The woman seemed to have just cooked on the stove in the yard. Lu Yu glanced at it and saw that there was little water in the pot, just a little bit as thin as water.
White porridge.
"Ning Shou is my husband, but I have never heard of any distant relatives. My husband has been lonely since he was a child and grew up alone. Please tell me who the two of you are." The woman looked very weak.
