As Chen Wendong walked, he looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became. The messy stones on both sides of the road were weird, and they seemed to be naturally formed, but when viewed as a whole, they seemed to have some rules.

"Daddy, did anything happen in this place?" Feeling strange, Chen Wendong turned to ask his father beside him.

"I heard that there were ghosts here. They are all rumors. No one has seen it with their own eyes. Why, what's wrong?"

"I can't tell, it just doesn't feel right. Has anyone ever lived here?"

"I've never heard of it. How can there be people living in this wild country?" My father was very disapproving.

Chen Wendong blinked at his father, and couldn't help teasing, "This is weird, could it be that I've been dreaming these days?"

"You kid, dare to make jokes about me. Is it itchy?" The father made a gesture to slap Chen Wendong on the head, but he ran away with a smile. The place left a deep impression on him.

The family walked for a day without seeing a single person on the road. Although the father didn't say anything, there was a bit of anxiety in his brows, and he quickened his pace unconsciously.

"Daddy, is there a gold ingot in front?" Chen Wendong raised his face and looked at his father seriously. In fact, he wanted to ask if there was a beauty in front of him, but he changed his words temporarily.

"What gold ingot?" Father was asked in a daze.

"Then why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Chen Wendong winked at his father.

"Brat, you're making fun of me again, you're getting fatter and fatter!" The father was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Chen Wendong was making fun of him, so he rewarded Chen Wendong with a chestnut.

"It's really kind of unrewarding, am I afraid that you will get angry in a hurry?" Chen Wendong rubbed his head, looked at his father with a resentful expression, secretly thankful that he changed his mind just now, otherwise he would have to be slapped.

Chen Wendong was also a joking person in his last life. He chatted happily with his friends. He said casually about meat and vegetables. There is really no lower limit. But today is different, and there was no freedom of speech in ancient times. If it is not good, you will lose your head. It seems that you really have to be cautious in your words and deeds. Chen Wendong bowed his head and reflected on himself.

Seeing Chen Wendong's depressed mood, his father thought that the boy was throwing a temper tantrum, but he felt a little sorry when he thought that he was trying to relieve himself.

"Okay, why are you in a daze, I didn't exert myself, and dare to play a little temper, huh?" The father patted Chen Wendong's little head again after speaking.

"How dare I?" Chen Wendong pursed his lips, and then looked at his father seriously, "Daddy, with our family's footsteps, we can't catch up with those people in front even with bare feet. It's useless for you to worry. Besides, If we walk like this now, we won't be too tired, and we won't starve and freeze, although it's a bit slower, but at least it can guarantee the safety of the family, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Yeah, what else am I in a hurry for?" My father sighed, looking at Chen Wendong, then at Wenguang and Wenju, "Okay, let's not be in a hurry, let's just walk slowly."

"Father, we don't have to worry about running out of firewood if we keep the green hills. As long as our family is safe and sound, we can earn back everything in the future." Chen Wendong gave his father a flamboyant smile, and caught a frog that jumped over.

"Daddy, when I grow up, I will definitely build you a big, big house." Wen Ju stretched his small arms on his father's back and gestured vigorously, "Well, the kind that can't be washed away even under heavy rain. .”

"Hehe, okay, Daddy is waiting to live in Juer's big house."

The family talked and laughed, and they didn't feel very tired after walking all day. In the evening, Chen Wendong's family lived next to the Earth Temple on the roadside.

Speaking of the Earth Temple, Chen Wendong murmured in his heart again, not because of the peculiar shape of the Earth Temple, but mainly because of the unreasonable location of the Temple. Earth Temples are usually built in villages or not far from villages. It is convenient for the villagers to worship, how can it be built in the wilderness?

Chen Wendong turned to the back of the temple, only to find that the land temple and the huge stone behind it were carved out of the stone directly. In this regard, it was not the work of the nearby villagers.The layout of the Earth Temple is nothing new, but to Chen Wendong's shock, he found the gluttonous pattern on the altar dedicated to the Land Lord and Land Woman.

Reminiscent of the pattern in the cave, Chen Wendong couldn't help wondering whether this place was an ancient tomb of the former dynasty or the base of an underground organization... Thinking about it, he felt chills on his back, the wind was blowing, and his hairs stood on end.

Chen Wendong's family ate frogs, snakes and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. It was not until noon on the fifth day that they left the barren grassland and came to Shiyuan Town under the jurisdiction of Yunmen County. Although it is called a town, it is slightly larger than an ordinary village.

From time to time, you can see refugees fleeing disasters on the street. They are sitting against the wall or squatting by the roadside. Their faces are gloomy, and many of them have sick looks.Although Chen Wendong's family was also covered in mud, they looked good, and Chen's father was still carrying a package. Compared with the disaster victims on the roadside, they looked like pedestrians on their feet. Of course, this was just a look.

After some inquiries, they found a farmer's house far away from the town center to settle down. This family also saw that it was not easy for Chen's father to take care of his three children. They looked good and didn't look like they were sick, so they took them in. took them.

Chen Wendong and the others stayed for one night and were about to leave early the next morning. My father thanked the family, and just as he was about to take Chen Wendong and the others away, he heard a woman shouting and cursing outside.

"Why are you so stubborn, child? Is it possible that you are still relying on my family? This month, I hired a doctor for you and made medicine for you. I am worthy of you. Now you are more agile. Hurry up and go find your parents, do you hear?" Chen Wendong's family had just left the hospital when they saw a middle-aged woman pulling a seven or eight-year-old boy into the street in front of the neighbor's door.

Seeing the doubts on the faces of Chen Wendong and the others, the hostess explained to them: "That's Mrs. Wang. If you want to talk about this, I can't blame Mrs. Wang. A month ago, her man picked up a comatose child by the side of the road. , Wounds all over the body, the bloody gash on this leg must be two inches long.

Sister-in-law Wang is also kind-hearted. First, she asked a doctor to treat the child's injuries. She planned to wait for the child to heal and ask where his parents were before sending him back. It's impossible to imagine that the child has never said anything since he arrived at the Wang family. In a word, he doesn't pay attention to people. It seems that he is probably dumb.

There are five boys in Mrs. Wang's family, all of whom can eat. How can they have the ability to raise such a child? No, Mrs. Wang kicked him out of the house early in the morning, but this child will not leave , that's why I'm in a hurry. "

Chen Wendong looked at the child carefully. Although the clothes were shabby, they were still clean and tidy, and there was a small burden on his shoulders. It seemed that Mrs. Wang did not treat him badly. What's the difference between kicking him out and taking his life?Another poor child, Chen Wendong looked at the child with a sore heart, very uncomfortable.

Maybe it was because Chen Wendong's eyes were too fierce, the child noticed something and suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Wendong.It was only now that Chen Wendong saw the child's appearance clearly. A small black face was full of warnings and vigilance. Although the child's original intention was to intimidate him, but this handsome face with big eyes, no matter how you look at it. It's cute, Chen Wendong couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.The child was stunned by Chen Wendong's smile, and when he came back to his senses, he was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but stare at Chen Wendong again.

"Your eyes are so wide open, aren't you tired?" Chen Wendong smiled kindly at the child, and the child was stunned again after hearing Chen Wendong's words.Now Chen Wendong is a little strange. It seems that the child's ears are fine. Could it be that the mute is just pretending?While Chen Wendong was muttering, he saw a man walking across the street, who seemed to be very familiar with this family.

"Cousin, my wheel is broken, please help me fix it."

"Okay, I'll go right away, wait for me for a while, I'll get the axe." After finishing speaking, the host entered the house.

Seeing this, the father hurriedly left, and was about to leave when he was stopped by someone, and when he looked back, it was the man who had just arrived.

"Brother, are you going to Yunmen County?"

"Exactly" the father nodded at the man.

"Listen to my persuasion, this Yunmen County is not allowed to go. I was planning to deliver green vegetables to Zhang Yuan's family yesterday, but before I arrived in Yunmen County, I heard that the gate of the city was closed and traffic was prohibited! A large number of disaster victims gathered outside. It is said that there is a plague, are you going to die?"

His father was stunned after hearing this. In contrast, Chen Wendong was very calm, which was also what he expected. It is good that the Yunmen county magistrate did not secretly execute the victims of the plague.

"It seems that this Yunmen County is really impossible to go." Father was stunned for a while, and had to accept the reality.

"Daddy, where are we going?" Wen Ju looked at his father with a dazed expression.

"A few years ago, your aunt married to Linping County near Huyang Pass. Why don't we go and join her, but the distance is a bit longer."

"Linping County is more than 400 miles away from here, but it's not close, but it's close to Huyang Pass. The high terrain is definitely free from floods, so it's a good place to go." The man seemed to be walking around often, speaking of Straightforward.

Father asked him about the specific route again, and then led Chen Wendong and the others to set off.
