Chapter 35: Act Three
In the wild persimmon forest in Shanglinfang, the figures of the three children shuttled back and forth, and whispered to each other from time to time.

"Bah, bah, this persimmon is so astringent!"

Qi Ziyin peeled open a persimmon, took a small bite, and immediately threw it on the ground.

"Idiot, you have to pick this kind of red one so that you won't sting your mouth. Eat these few for you first, and I'll go over there to have a look."

Ning Yue smiled and handed two ripe persimmons to the boy in white.Qi Ziyin reached out to take it, clumsily opened a small mouth and sucked it hard, the sweet persimmon flesh poured into his lips and teeth like thick paste.

"There are a lot of knots on the trees here, you two come here quickly!"

The voice of suppressing Yan also sounded in the darkness a little further away.The white-clothed boy swallowed the persimmon Ning Yue handed him whole, shook the juice from his hands vigorously, and ran over in a hurry.

I saw many peeled persimmon skins scattered under the tree.The girl was one step ahead of Qi Ziyin, and she was already standing under the tree and started eating.While eating, she raised her hand and directed Jiang Yan who had already climbed up the tree:
"Little stammer, help me pick that one, it's the tallest one on the top of the tree!"

"That one isn't ripe yet."

"You can take the unripe ones home, and you can eat them in a few days. You can pick more for me first, little stutterer!"

Before Ning Yue finished speaking, persimmons began to rain crackling on the tree. Jiang Yan stood on the branch, shaking his legs vigorously.The big half-ripe persimmon fell on the soft weeds, but it didn't break, but Qi Ziyin, who had just rushed under the tree, couldn't dodge it.

The red-haired girl didn't take it seriously at all, she hid away with a smile, and then pulled Qi Ziyin to pick among the persimmons on the ground.There were really too many persimmons that fell this time, they just picked some big and fleshy fruits, and after a while they picked out a bunch of them, piled up at their feet like a hill.

"Enough, enough. There are so many persimmons, how can the three of us carry them back?"

Just as the boy in white wanted to persuade his companions to stop, Jiang Yan climbed down from the tree and walked towards another tree next to him, "What are you afraid of, I can carry such a few persimmons back by myself."

In order not to attract attention, the boy with black pupils deliberately left Mo Lingwei's standard leather armor in the palace.At this time, he was only wearing the deep black brocade robe of the Yuling Army of Ye Kingdom. While talking, he took off the robe and spread it on the ground.

"Don't, don't. The clothes are full of your stinky sweat. If you get on the persimmons, you can't eat them." Seeing this, Ning Yue immediately shook her head like a rattle.

"Then use Yue'er's clothes!" Jiang Yan curled his lips, but he was not annoyed by the girl's disgust.Hearing what he said, Ning Yue raised her eyebrows, and threw the half-bitten persimmon viciously at the other party's face:

"Sebaizi, I'm not like you who can be shirtless!"

The black-eyed boy got short and avoided it.But the girl didn't intend to just let him go so easily, and she raised her skirt and chased him around the persimmon tree.

"Shhh - don't make a fuss for now."

Looking at the two fighting in front of him, Qi Ziyin didn't smile.Ning Yue and General Yan were overjoyed and ignored him at all.

"Shut up, you two! I seem to have heard some strange movements outside the persimmon garden just now!" Qi Ziyin shouted again holding his throat.The red-haired girl then stopped, looked back at the other party and asked:

"What's happening? Didn't we all look carefully when we came here just now? There is not even half a person near the persimmon forest. Did you hear wrong, Ziyin?"

"At first I thought I had heard it wrong, but the voice repeated itself several times!"

"Could it be someone who came to steal persimmons?"

"Or is there really some ghost out there to make trouble?" Qi Ziyin said, raising his eyes to look into the darkness outside the persimmon forest with some fear.

"Oh, Ziyin, don't deliberately scare people!"

Ning Yue originally wanted to pick persimmons because she was greedy, but seeing that her companion didn't seem to be joking, she finally got a little scared.

"Shhh—don't make any noise, that voice appeared again!"

The boy in white suddenly put his index finger on his lips.The other two didn't dare to be careless, and nervously looked in the direction indicated by their companions.Sure enough, I only heard a rustling sound drifting to my ears with the wind, faintly visible, it sounded like heavy breathing, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

"This sound is definitely not a ghost, because ghosts have no feet. But the footsteps sounded like they were heading towards the mass grave next to the persimmon forest. Should we burn incense and worship while the sky is still bright? Shall we follow?" Let's go and see what's going on?"

Jiang Yan frowned, but he was suspicious.While talking, I saw a figure flickering, passing through the persimmon forest dozens of steps away from the three children.

"Little stammer, are you crazy! That's a mass grave! I want you to go, I will never go!"

Ning Yue's face suddenly turned pale with fright, she shook her head vigorously and said.

"Then why don't you two wait here first, and I'll catch up and have a look?" Jiang Yan said, still about to leave.

"No! I'm even more worried if you go alone! Even if the ghost has no feet and can't make a sound, there might be zombies in the mass grave, and you won't be able to run away by yourself!"

The girl grabbed the opponent's cuff from behind.The black-eyed boy insisted on chasing after him, so he turned to Qi Ziyin and asked, "Ziyin, do you feel that the figure just now seems to be wearing the mysterious armor of a boat master?"

What the girl didn't expect was that Qi Ziyin actually agreed with this: "You should be right. It's just that there is a ban in Mulu City, and the soldiers stationed in the Baisha camp are not allowed to wear armor privately after sunset without special reasons. Enter the city with weapons. Let's follow up and see, don't let there be any changes in the city."

When Ning Yue heard that what she saw was indeed a human being, half of the fear in her heart disappeared immediately.At this time, although she was still a little timid, she didn't dare to go back to Jiayunzhai by herself, so she nodded in desperation:

"If you really want to go, then, let's go together. There are many people to be safe. But you must promise me, just take a look, if the situation is not right, you will turn around and go home immediately!"

Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin looked at each other, and immediately nodded in agreement.So the three children raised their waists and tiptoed behind the figure.Soon they caught up with each other and saw him crawling towards the mass grave where he couldn't see his fingers.

The mass grave on the other side of the persimmon forest was originally a wasteland without houses in the city. However, with the escalation of the war in the four southern states, the number of refugees entering the city has increased year by year, and many homeless people have suffered from famine and disease. Tragic death , were all buried here indiscriminately.Over time, no one dared to visit easily.

At that moment, the two silver plates in the sky untimely hid behind a few thin clouds.The bright moonlight also seemed to be covered with a thick layer of sarong, becoming more and more chaotic.The overgrown weeds in the mass graves and the jagged rocks exposed outside the soil also add a bit of chill to the air, which is creepy.

The girl and her companions followed the figure and continued to practice for about three sticks of incense before the other party finally lit the torch in his hand.To everyone's surprise, what was revealed against the firelight was Luo Jianli's face with a thick beard!

"Why is it this bad guy again? Little stammer, let's not cause trouble, let's go back quickly!"

Ning Yue immediately persuaded her.But Jiang Yan covered her mouth with her hand and motioned her to keep silent:
"Yue'er, keep your voice down! This guy's eyes are wandering, as if he is waiting for someone."

Luo Jianli in the firelight was very alert, and when he noticed the strange sound, he lowered his body.After standing motionless for a while, he let down his guard again, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.As soon as the whistle sounded, a figure in a black cloak walked out from behind an overturned old stone tablet a little distance away, and approached Luo Jianli to speak in a low voice.

Because they were too far apart, the three children couldn't hear what the two were saying at all.The figure in the cloak was always facing away from them, and it was hard to see what it looked like.

The boy in white moved forward unconsciously, wanting to get closer, but heard a crisp "click" sound from under his feet. He accidentally stepped on it and broke it.At this time, with a slight movement, the sound became more joyful.

When the man in the cloak heard the sound, he immediately realized that someone was coming, but he didn't panic, and he didn't turn his head to look. He whispered a few words in Luo Jianli's ear, and then quickly disappeared into the endless night .This time, Jiang Yan could hear clearly, what the other party said was "don't leave anyone alive"!
After watching the man in the cloak leave, the ferocious-looking Captain Xiaoqi pulled out his long iron long knife gleaming with cold light with a "shua", turned around and touched the hiding place of the three children.

Jiang Yan knew in his heart that since Luo Jianli chose to have a private meeting with that mysterious person in this inaccessible mass grave, there was absolutely no chance that anything good would happen.And with the other party's ruthless means, it is absolutely impossible to believe that the three children are ignorant of the content of the conversation between the two.

At this moment, Xiao Tianmo was not with him.Besides, even if he had a weapon in his hand, he was not fully sure of defeating his opponent.What's more, there are two companions beside him who need to protect themselves.

The black-eyed boy couldn't help regretting that he didn't listen to the girl's words and went back earlier, but the distance between Luo Jianli and Luo Jianli was getting closer and closer, so he had to immediately drag Qi Ziyin and Ning Yue who were at a loss, towards the mass grave. run.For the present plan, perhaps retreating into the brightly lit market is their only way out!
