At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and only the red light swaying in the hazy fog could be seen, as if guiding them.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of their footsteps and the sound of the wind.
Mu Yun'an felt a little embarrassed, and it was so strange on the street. Many people had their doors closed and didn't even light the lights.
Qingying went to knock on a house, but no one responded.
Mu Yun'an held Xiao Chengyi's hand tightly. She was wearing a cloak to cover her white hair, when she suddenly heard a crisp sound of bells coming from in front of her.
Several people walked over and took a look, and found that the house with the bell at the door actually had lights on.
Qingying went to knock on the door. After knocking a few times, he heard an old voice coming from the room: "Who is it?"
Qingying said: "We are passing by here and want to borrow a place to stay. Is it convenient?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a creak, and an old woman came out. She looked at Xiao Chengyi and the others with her turbid eyes, and finally fell on Mu Yun'an, saying in a hoarse voice: "
Come in."
Everyone thanked him and walked in.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yun'an was shocked as soon as he entered the door. He saw many coffins and paper bundles piled up in the room. It turned out that this was a shop selling funeral items.
The old woman sat down on the chair, then took the unfinished paper figurine and started to paste it up.
Xiao Chengyi looked around, and finally looked at the old woman making paper figures and asked: "Old man, I see this city is empty, who are you making these things to sell to?"
The old woman put her hand to her lips as a silent gesture, and then continued what she was doing.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that everything here was weird.
Qingying looked at the old woman and asked, "Old man, can we ask for a drink of water?"
The old woman pointed inside and motioned for them to go on their own.
Qingying thanked him and went into the courtyard. After a while, he brought a pot of water.
Everyone sat down around the table and drank the boiled water poured by Qingying.
Wen Qiyu said: "This Fengdu is full of weirdness. I guess there must be some hidden secret."
A good city has become like this. If it is haunted, why is it only Fengdu? This city is not the only one within a radius of thirty miles.
Xiao Chengyi squinted his eyes. From the moment he entered the city, he felt something was wrong. Although Fengdu was not big, it was not small either. There were at least a thousand households in the city.
But along the way, this place is almost like an isolated city. So where have these thousands of families gone?
Why is there no trouble at all in the imperial court?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a pop and saw the teacup in Wen Qiyu's hand falling to the ground, and he swayed and felt a little dizzy.
He suddenly woke up: "This water...there is something wrong with the water!"
Xiao Chengyi's face turned pale. He was about to check Wen Qiyu's pulse, but he felt weak. When he saw Yan Yan, she had fallen on the table, and Qing Ying had also fallen on the ground.
Xiao Chengyi couldn't believe it, how could this be possible? He didn't notice any problems with the water. How did they poison it?
Just as I was wondering, I heard the old woman's low voice: "You shouldn't have come."
Xiao Chengyi wanted to ask her what she wanted to do? But he couldn't resist the overwhelming tiredness and fainted.
