In the strange-smelling living room, Gu Juan stood up and stared at the courtyard, waiting for his answer.

Then I heard him mutter, "It's just gone, there's nothing left." ”

Without?

What does it really mean to have nothing left?

Such an answer made Gu Juan also stunned, and some of them couldn't react.

Is Murphy's Law in effect again?

It happens when you are most worried about something, and when you least want an outcome, it will happen......

Gu Juan's face was ugly, but he still handed over a cup of tea, and said in a calm tone, "You say be more detailed, this is gone, nothing is left, what does it mean." ”

The nurse took the tea, first wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and then drank the tea with a bang, and then said in an almost sluggish tone, "Mr. Hui's words, Xilun Town is gone, it is now a wild wasteland, there is not even a trace of the existence of the house street, nothing is left." ”

Gu Ju rewarded the family with an ingot of official silver and told him to go down to rest, and when there was no one in the house, he pinched his eyebrows and began to sort out his thoughts that suddenly became more chaotic.

According to what he said, Xilun Town can really only be described as nothing......

Even if the nurse said that the people in Xilun Town were dead, he wouldn't be too surprised.

After all, now the people in these two towns have been caught in the suspected scandal, when ordinary people face such a situation, it is normal to die, it is normal to die, and it is not normal to die if they do not die.

But a town, so many people, along with the houses and buildings, have all disappeared, and there is not even a trace of existence, which is really beyond his imagination.

What made him even more puzzled was that the nightmare of death in six days had come to Youxie Town, but when he arrived in Xilun Town, even if Daoist Li spread the news, he should have just started to have a nightmare, how could it be that even the town suddenly disappeared?

"No, in addition to the fact that Xilun Town is really gone, there is another possibility that must be considered. ”

Suddenly remembering the incident in the deserted village at the beginning, and the impact of those fogs on the minds of ordinary people at that time, Gu Juan suddenly had a new plan, he asked the courtyard to go down to rest first, and began to think about whether there was a common point between the deserted village incident and the nightmare incident.

While he was meditating, the old pedant was brought over.

Gu Juan didn't say a word politely, and asked straight to the point, "Have you ever heard of the name Ji Yan?"

"Counting the throat?"

The old pedant frowned and said, "Is this person you asked by the gentleman very famous?"

"I don't know if it's too famous, but it's definitely much more famous than ordinary people. ”

The old scholar lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head, he had a blank expression on his face, "The old man has never heard of such a name, there is no such thing in this dynasty, and there doesn't seem to be in the previous dynasty." ”

"What if it's neither this dynasty nor the previous dynasty, but a long, long time ago?"

The old pedant tugged at his beard and said with some embarrassment, "Then the old man can only go back and look through those old paper piles, which will take a lot of time, and he may not be able to find it." ”

Gu Juan nodded, and as soon as he raised his hand to the back, Zheng Huyuan took out a tray full of silver ingots and put them on the table in front of the old scholar.

Without even looking at it, Gu Juan grabbed a handful from the tray at random and stuffed it into the old pedant's hand, "I hope you can find it in the shortest possible time, so that they are all yours, you are happy, and I am happy." ”

The old pedant clutched the silver in his hand, and his breathing became heavy.

Gu Juan waved his hand again, "Zheng Huyuan, find two trustworthy brothers to go over, and help the old gentleman go to those old papers to find them together." ”

After sending off the old pedant, time passed little by little, and before I knew it, the night was already deep.

Gu Juan got up, took a bowl of ginseng soup handed by Zheng Huyuan, took a sip and put the bowl down, looked at his bloodless face and said, "If nothing else, this is your last night." ”

Zheng Huyuan knelt on the ground with a puff, and kept kowtowing, "The villain has run out of ideas, Mr. Gu helps!"

Gu Juan took out the patrol axe from behind him, and the cold light reflected on Zheng Huyuan's face, making him shiver.

Then he heard Gu Juan's voice seem to be floating from the sky, as cold as the cold wind outside the house, "Helping you is equivalent to helping myself, so you must believe in me, and you can only believe in me." ”

Zheng Huyuan raised his pale face and said with a wry smile, "The villain knows that even if Mr. chops off my head with an axe now, the villain will not say a word." ”

Gu Juan closed his eyes, and his tone became more and more low, "I won't kill you, since Daoist Li has already taken the first step, I already have a rough verification of what will happen if I kill you in advance, so there is no point in killing you again at this time." ”

"But it may hurt a little after staying for a while, you better hold back, you can scream if you can't help it, but you must control yourself and never sleep. ”

Zheng Huyuan nodded again and again: "Please rest assured, Mr. Gu, the villain understands." ”

Gu Juan nodded, stopped talking, picked up the bowl of ginseng soup and drank it slowly, and after drinking it, he made himself a pot of strong tea, and drank it slowly as well.

Then he looked at the hourglass, stood up, took off his shirt, and slashed across the blade of his axe on his shoulder.

The sharp blade of the axe only left a faint white mark on the skin.

He touched the membrane on the surface of his body, which was almost difficult to feel, gritted his teeth ruthlessly, and increased his strength a little more.

Swish!

The red blood flowed down the wound, and he didn't even look at it, so he made the same stroke to Zheng Huyuan with his backhand.

"It seems like I'm a little sleepy already, so let's start with me. ”

The fourth watch day is getting closer and closer, and there are already more than a dozen criss-crossing wounds on Gu Juan and Zheng Huyuan's bodies.

Fortunately, their sleepiness seemed to be slowly diminishing as the pain intensified.

Gu Juan silently estimated the time, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

And then he literally laughed.

Looking at this whole thing, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he had not even touched a single hair of the enemy, so he had to not hurt the enemy, hurt himself first, and first use the method of self-harm to confront the enemy.

Smiling and laughing, he suddenly felt that the patrol axe became hot, and at the same time, the irresistible sleepiness was like a huge wave in the deep sea, instantly crushing and submerging him.

Zheng Huyuan on the opposite side has closed his eyes!

Finished!

The patrol axe in his hand was like a piece of iron that burned red, and the scratches on his body were even more painful.

But even so, Gu Juan did not resist the sleepiness that was submerged like a mountain and a sea.

Time passed little by little, I don't know how long later, it seemed to be just a short moment.

Gu Juan woke up from his sleep suddenly, and immediately saw Zheng Huyuan stiffened on the ground.

His expression was distorted and hideous, and there were still dark red blood stains left outside the seven orifices, and he was already dead and could not die again.
