"I have heard people say before that in areas with solar pollution, any electronic equipment will lose its function. It seems to be true. No wonder I have never seen a video related to solar pollution."
Xu Heng slowly thought back and realized that his mobile phone had been disabled since he stepped into this street.
"Senior sister's cell phone is also turned off. Is she here too?"
He was suddenly overjoyed. This was very possible, otherwise the senior sister would not have come to pick him up.
However, after taking a look at the white mist-filled street, people emerged from the mist from time to time and rushed to Situ's house for a meal. Xu Heng did not dare to act rashly.
If you are not familiar with the place, it is not easy to find your senior sister here. If you are accidentally discovered by those weird things, you may be killed before your senior sister comes over.
He could feel that although the aura of those people in ancient costumes was very dangerous, if they were to fight one-on-one, he could carry out a sneak attack with [No Trace], and he might even be able to defeat them.
But with the current situation of the Situ family, once he shows up, he will definitely not have a chance to fight one on one. There are too many ghosts.
As the saying goes, if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone the Situ family, he can't even stay around here for too long.
"Zhou Yanan should be able to guess that I am trapped in here. As long as I am careful enough and wait quietly for the relevant departments to solve this solar term pollution, I will definitely be able to get out."
Xu Heng thought for a moment and decided to find a safe place to hide and wait for rescue.
He looked around and saw that the surging white mist at both ends of the street was not so intense, and then he decisively got out of the corner, rolled forward, and then kicked his feet violently, and his body flew upwards lightly.
With a "swish", he successfully climbed over the wall of a house and jumped into the small courtyard.
The whole movement was so smooth and smooth that you couldn't even hear the sound of your feet landing, and you stood firm in the small courtyard.
"call……"
Xu Heng slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his martial arts foundation was solid enough and he did not attract those strange attentions.
There should be no one in this family's home now. He just saw this family dragging their entire family into Situ's house. It should be safe here until they come back from dinner.
Xu Heng took a brief look at the courtyard. It was small and crude.
There was a rag spread on an open ground, and something seemed to be drying on it. It was dark and it was hard to see what it was.
There is a clothes drying rack placed at the foot of the wall next to it, with several pieces of uncollected clothing hanging on it.
Xu Heng's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately stepped forward.
He judged many things from the clothes.
The family's financial situation is indeed not very good. The clothing fabrics are mostly made of coarse linen. The hostess likes to wear red and has a very single taste. The styles and colors of several bellybands are exactly the same...well, and no washing powder is used.
Xu Heng immediately threw it away, then took off a gray gown from the clothes drying rack and put it on directly with his own clothes.
Although it looks a little bloated, it fits well.
"But...how do I get my shoes and hair style done?"
Xu Heng lowered his head and looked at his white sneakers, then glanced at the simple house of this family.
After pondering for a moment, he quietly walked forward and slowly opened the wooden door.
"Creak..."
The dilapidated and aging wooden door made a sound, but fortunately the volume was not loud and it did not seem to cause any movement.
Xu Heng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stepped into the house.
There was a strong musty smell in the room, and the furniture was very old and full of dust.
The beams on the roof were also covered with spider silk, hanging down densely.
Xu Heng didn't pay much attention and walked in to start searching.
After a while, I successfully found a pair of black cloth shoes and a hand-woven straw hat in the house, which perfectly solved the camouflage problem.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Xu Heng stopped in front of a wall.
There is an ink painting of a bamboo forest hanging on the wall. The signature and writing have long been blurred, and there are some black stains on the corners and edges.
Xu Heng couldn't help but be stunned. His family was so poor and he still hung the painting. What was going on with the blackened fingerprints on the edge?
Are you afraid that others won't know that you often touch this painting?
Good guy, there is no silver here, so I don’t take thieves seriously.
Xu Heng knew that he was not a thief, but in order to increase the family's awareness of prevention, he resolutely made a decision that went against the precepts of his ancestors.
He opened the painting and took out a wooden box hidden in the wall hole.
There was originally a small lock on the wooden box, but it was already rusty and it broke with just a finger.
Xu Heng walked to the edge carefully, with only one finger exposed, and gently opened the lid of the wooden box a crack. After confirming that there were no dangerous mechanisms, he opened the wooden box completely.
As soon as he opened it, he was dumbfounded.
There was actually a slender incense stick placed in the box. He had seen this thing in history books. It was something that people used to worship in the past.
Under this incense stick, there is also a stack of yellow paper that is so old that it is slightly white.
"That's it?"
Xu Heng stared, very unexpected.
Why should you hide this thing so carefully?
Well, actually not that cautious.
Snapped!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.
"who?"
Xu Heng was so frightened that he reached out to cover the back of his neck, jumped forward suddenly, turned 180 degrees in the air, and turned to look behind him.
However, nothing was seen.
But just now, he clearly felt something hit him on the back of the head. The force was not strong, but it brought a biting chill and made his whole spine numb.
“It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!”
Xu Heng did not hesitate, stuffed the incense stick and yellow paper in the wooden box into his arms, and quickly rushed towards the door.
Ever since he entered the courtyard of this house, he had a vague feeling of discomfort, as if something was pressing on him and his chest was a little tight.
I thought it was because I was too nervous, but now it seems that I thought it was too simple.
This place is so weird.
He quickly ran to the door, opened the wooden door, and was about to rush out.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black shadow fell from above the door, blocking the way.
"My mother..."
Xu Heng exclaimed, reacted in time, quickly stopped his body, and suddenly stepped back to distance himself.
Then, the whole person froze in place.
An old man is hanging above the door. His body looks dry, but there is no sign of decay.
The two eyeballs were also intact, bulging out from the dried-up skin, as if they were just hanging on the cheek bones, staring at Xu Heng.
As a breeze blew outside the door, the old man's body began to sway back and forth, and his feet swung so much that he almost kicked him in front of Xu Heng.
"hiss……"
Xu Heng suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The feeling of being hit on the back of the head just now seemed to be very similar to the cloth shoes on the old man's feet.
The key is……
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the black cloth shoes on his feet.
Classic style!
This is a shoe collision...it's so crazy!
…
At the same time, in the ancient town shrouded in white mist.
Several figures were crossing the street and entering a dark alley before stopping, breathing heavily.
Several people's faces were a little pale, two of the women were covered in blood, and one man's entire palm was broken, with only a piece of white gauze wrapping the broken area.
The gauze had already been dyed red, and blood was still dripping from it.
"Team Zhou, the situation is very wrong. The people from Supervisor Tiansi have underestimated the pollution level during this solar term." The man said through gritted teeth with sweat on his face.
"This is definitely not just a blue alert level, I'm afraid it will be close to a yellow alert."
"Damn it, how many solar bombs did those cult members release?"
The other two injured women also spoke one after another, frowning.
Zhou Yanan also looked livid at this moment. She was not responsible for cleaning up solar terms pollution, but in order to pick up Xu Heng when he left, she led a small team to act alone.
Unexpectedly, the solar term pollution suddenly expanded and trapped them in the middle of the journey.
The most unlucky thing was that there was a main street behind the white mist. When they came in, they happened to bump into a few people in ancient costumes. The two sides were about to break out and a big fight broke out.
As a result, their side was defeated and completely at a disadvantage. If the man hadn't repelled those people in ancient costumes at the cost of a palm, he might not have had the chance to escape here.
"Team Zhou, I'm afraid the mission has to be suspended. The pollution level during the Qingming Festival this time is too high for us to handle. I'm afraid that junior brother Fu Yongqing has already..."
The man looked at Zhou Yanan and whispered.
Although the other two women did not speak, they also looked at Zhou Yanan.
They agreed with the man's words. According to the location where they had just entered the contaminated area, it happened to be the second block, which was the outer area of the contaminated area.
The location of Xu Heng's old house is very close to the center of the contaminated area. Even if he escapes before the pollution completely breaks out, he can only escape to the third block at most.
It is the boundary between the central area and the peripheral area.
Their team is quite strong and can at least protect itself in blue level pollution areas.
But now we only encounter strange things in the outer area, which are so difficult to deal with. How can Xu Heng, a mere six-vein warrior, survive in the third block?
Zhou Yanan was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This is not far from the edge of the contaminated area. You guys stay here to rest and wait for the rescue team to come."
"What?" The man and the two women's expressions changed when they heard this.
"Team Zhou..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Zhou Yanan raised her hand to interrupt the dissuasive words of several people, and said expressionlessly: "I also think that boy is probably dead, but there is no way. I owe it to Fu Yongqing, at least I will live to see the person dead or the body.
Your mission ends here, the next actions are my personal actions and have nothing to do with you."
After saying that, Zhou Yanan ignored the dissuasion of several people and walked directly out of the alley, heading towards the third block.
This direction also happened to be the original direction to Xu Heng's old house.
So as long as Xu Heng doesn't run around, she will definitely encounter Xu Heng along this road to the third block. Of course, she may also encounter Xu Heng's body.
"It's a pity. He's a pretty handsome brother. Although he has a bad mouth, at least he looks good to the eyes. If he really dies..."
Zhou Yanan shook her head, her face solemn, and there was a trace of regret in her eyes.
She really hoped that Xu Heng was still alive, but she felt it was unlikely.
If that kid really dies, I wonder how that woman Fu Yongqing will react? I'm afraid she will go around looking for those cult lunatics to kill her, right?
"kindness?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yanan noticed something moving in front of her, she immediately stopped and ducked towards the corner of the street.
After hiding himself with the help of a bunker, he glanced at the white mist in front of him.
After the thick fog surged, a figure jumped out from the yard of a house and landed steadily on the ground.
Then, the figure looked around furtively and then ran towards another house next door.
Zhou Yanan's eyes widened on the spot, her face full of horror.
She had just seen the figure clearly, that handsome face, who else could it be besides Xu Heng?
The point is, that kid is actually carrying the withered corpse of an old man on his body, but he's running around like nothing happened?
