Chapter 148： Emptiness

The next morning, Jin Yang woke up slowly on the soft bed. He blinked. A faint ray of sunlight shone on the bed along the gap in the window, reflecting his fragile features.

I don’t know when the rain outside the window stopped. He slept well after midnight last night and had no dreams. Then when he woke up, the rain stopped. He could no longer hear the ticking sound. There were faint cicadas singing from the cracks in the window. Infiltrated the house, nothing else.

Several mottled pictures suddenly appeared in his mind. He suddenly got up and took a look to the side. The bed was empty and there were no figures, as if the outlines that were deeply imprinted in his mind last night were imaginary bubbles.

He was slightly disappointed in his heart, and his arm sank as soon as he loosened his body. At this moment, a hard object shook his palm.

Jin Yang's heart trembled. He sat up and spread out his palms. He didn't have the fingers interlocking last night, but there was a small clay pottery rabbit doll. For some reason, Yin Yiliu was stuffed into his palm. .

His fingertips trembled, rubbed the smooth texture of Tao Tu's surface with his fingers, looked at it in front of his eyes, and finally retracted it into his pocket.

I don't know the dream, everything last night was not a dream.

His extremely embarrassing appearance, the sweat all over his body and the soft and hot kiss at the end were real, and he could still feel the tremor when it fell on the corner of his lips.

Jin Yang has lived for more than 20 years, and for the first time he gave birth to this kind of joy with some anxiety about gains and losses, as if his former stability and maturity have become an illusion, like a hairy boy at a loss.

He got up and grabbed the slightly long hair. He was pacing in the bedroom without daring to open the door. When he walked to the door, he hesitated for a moment and put his ear to the door, carefully listening to the movement outside the house.

Just when his ears were attached, a soft knock on the door reached Jin Yang's ear through the wooden door. A clear knock was like a thunder that hit him hard, his heart violently Jumped a bit, and then stepped back suddenly.

Yin Yiliu's tentative voice came through the door, "Are you up? Come out and eat something."

Jin Yang replied dullly, grabbed the messy hair with his hand, then grabbed the doorknob and slowly unscrewed it, only to hear a soft "click" and the door opened in response.

He walked out the door bored and saw Yin Yiliu's apron surrounded by pink rabbits. His eyes were bright and shy, and his eyes dodge for a moment.

In fact, last night Yin Yi Liu Qiang stood up with the cry of tears and the sadness in her heart, and tremblingly pressed the corners of Jin Yang's lips, she felt regretful in her heart and marveled at her boldness.

Jin Yang in the dark night was cold, his fine sweat drenched the broken hair on his forehead, and his golden eyes were a little dim in the middle of the night. It looked like a big dog who was anxious, with a little pitiful and peaceful Lovely meaning.

So at that moment, both the pity and love in Yin Yiliu's heart reached the peak. She took advantage of the rainy night's horror and the surging emotions in her heart to kiss Jin Yang, her lips hot.

She was a little timid in her heart, fearing that her actions would be too offensive, but when she found that Jin Yang was more shy than her, and her slight sniffles were suddenly held tense, her courage gradually increased, and slowly Kissing thinly upward against the warm lips is extremely aggressive.

When Jin Yang gradually fell asleep, she later realized that she felt a little shame, and blushed alone in the dark night. The palm of her hand was still held by Jin Yang. The hot temperature on her face and the softness of her hand indicated that all this was not a dream. She really kissed Jin Yang.

The man lay on his side and closed his eyes, his face was very gentle, and his tight brows were also much smoother, which made his heart soft.

Yin Yiliu tentatively wanted to take out her hand, but just twitched, Jin Yang moved a little nervously, so she didn't dare to take it out and slowly lay on the open space beside Jin Yang's bed.

In the evening, a faint light seeps through the curtains. With this light, Yin Yiliu’s eyes trace Jin Yang’s eyebrows, from the closed eyes to the peak of the eyebrows, to the tall nose and a little light. Lips.

Unexpectedly, the big villain in the book who subverted the human powerhouse group with one person's power and the killer who upended the Association of the Fallen had such a past when he was a child.

Her warm fingertips lightly tapped Jin Yang's sleeping lips, soft, like soft candy, and she thought, "I must treat him well."

Until the sound of rain gradually stopped, Jin Yang really calmed down, the sky gradually brightened, and the faint light of early morning and dusk penetrated the curtain outside the window.

Yin Yiliu looked at his eyebrows and suddenly felt a little flustered in her heart. She was not ready to open her eyes and stare at each other on the same bed with Jin Yang. She swallowed and moved her arm to take her palm out.

But Jin Yang clenched too tightly. Just when he pulled out half of it, the man's sleepy face was slightly puckered, and she didn't even dare to move.

After a long pause, Yin Yiliu pulled the pendant hanging from his neck with the other hand and stuffed it into Jin Yang's palm, making sure that he did not wake up, got out of the bed gently, and returned to his bedroom.

She tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Looking out the window that was already dazzling, she got up and changed her clothes, went to the kitchen and made some food for Jin Yang.

At this time, Jin Yang came out of Weiwei’s bedroom. Although both of them were a little bit shy in their hearts, Jin Yang was the first to be confused. His golden eyes fell slightly in confusion, and his lips opened and closed several times, but he didn’t know to say something. What, in the end, I can only pretend to be calm and slowly walk to the table and sit down.

It's a pity that his somewhat uncoordinated pace and tight muscles exposed his tension.

Yin Yiliu was a little nervous at first, and some didn't know how to face it, but when she looked at a man who was obviously more nervous than herself, she suddenly became bold again, and her lips curled up slightly.

After getting up, Yan Wen obediently walked out of her small bedroom, brushed her teeth and washed her face with the help of Yin Yiliu. She lived here for two days and did not cry, as if she knew Yan Yongguo. Maybe something happened, and he didn't cry for grandpa.

At this time she was carried to the dining table, Yin Yiliu put a bowl of tomato noodles in a small bowl in front of her, and another bowl for Jin Yang.

Children's observation and perception are very keen, especially when they are in an unfamiliar environment, which causes Yan Wen to be very keen on the changes between these two elders and sisters. She can feel the weirdness between the two today.

I can't tell where to blame her.

Probably, sister Yin always secretly went to see that handsome but scary brother, but the brother just immersed himself in eating noodles, and his ears became red.

She sucked and ate the food in the bowl. In order to cater to the children's taste, Yin Yiliu specially made a very cute poached egg, but even if she didn't make it, Yan Wen would finish it obediently.

Because she has tasted what it is like to be hungry, that feeling is not good.

While she was slowly bringing food into her mouth with a small spoon, the door of the house was suddenly knocked from outside. Yin Yiliu raised her head and looked at Jin Yang. Who would come to them early in the morning.

Could it be that Shen Zhiyu's minions came to pick things up again?

Yin Yiliu got up and looked out from the window, only to see a corner of the clothes, there was only one person outside, she asked "who" and no one agreed.

As soon as the door opened, she was a little stunned, "Yan...Master?"

The old man’s hair in front of him seemed to have turned gray a lot within two days. He was wearing a tattered jacket with thick gauze wrapped around his waist and still bleeding. The most serious was his left side. The legs disappeared directly from the knees, supporting a self-made brace at this time, with a cramped expression on his face full of creases.

There was the sound of table and stool colliding in the living room behind her. Yin Yiliu turned around and saw that Yan Wen just jumped off the chair that was still a little high for her, staggered and ran to the door.

As soon as she saw Yan Yongguo, she suddenly narrowed her mouth and began to cry, then she looked at the left leg that grandfather had lost and the injuries all over her body, and could no longer help standing by the door crying.

Yan Yongguo was a little helpless and moved forward. Obviously he hadn't adapted to how to control his body without his legs.

Yan Wen is a five-year-old child, no matter how well-behaved and sensible, he was taken to a strange environment to face strangers, saying that it is impossible not to be afraid, but she has been holding it all the time, when she sees the closest person , The fear and grievances in my heart were immediately vented.

After a long time, the little girl still choked and held Yan Yongguo unwilling to let go, as if the old man would disappear once she let go.

Yan Yongguo smiled awkwardly. He looked at his granddaughter's clean clothes and much ruddy face, and knew that Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang treated her well.

He was very grateful to these two young men. He couldn't move his body for the past two days, because even a fifth-level evolutionary person fell ill if he lost his legs.

Had it not been for Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang to take Yan Wen away, Shen Zhiyu might have been caught by Shen Zhiyu to feed the fifth-level mutant beasts in the river.

After he was able to get out of bed and walk around, he couldn't help it anymore, and for the first time he inquired about Yin Yiliu's residence and came to pick up Yan Wen.

Yin Yiliu invited Yan Yongguo into the house, and only then did he know what happened to him in the past two days. Although the old man never mentioned his injuries, she could guess that it was the hand of Shen Zhiyu's minions that day.

After Yan Yongguo was seriously injured, his body automatically entered a state of shock, and he lay on the ground stiffly. When he opened his eyes again, it was a small and cramped small room with unbearable pain all over his body, and Yan Wen disappeared.

He struggled to get up, but he was pushed on the bed by someone who heard the movement.

It was no one else who saved him, but the boss next door to the small shop he opened-the slurred brown rice pancake seller, who vaguely expressed that he had received help from the Yan family, so he couldn't watch Yan Yongguo die in himself In front of him.

Yan Yongguo couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that good people are not really unpaid.

After learning that Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang had rescued Yan Wen from Shen Zhiyu's hands, his anxiety was relieved a lot, and he came to this small courtyard as soon as he got better.

"Thank you for your willingness to help Wenwen. If she is kicked by the dog thief, I really don't know how to face her dead parents."

The old man was wounded all over his body, saying that his dead son and daughter-in-law looked even more gloomy.

"If it's serious, it's easy for us. Watching such a small child just go like that, we don't feel good in our hearts."

At this moment Yin Yiliu suddenly remembered that today is the day when the "River God" is celebrated once every three months, that is, when the city is closed. If Shen Zhiyu can't catch Yan Wen, will this cruel activity stop?

She asked, but saw that the old man's expression was solemn and did not speak, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

The sun outside the window gradually became stronger, and there were more voices. It seemed that after a heavy rain, the entire earth was washed clean, and even the voices on both sides of the road were much clearer.

Yin Yiliu heard the faint noise, she got up and looked out the window. Seeing that someone outside the yard seemed to be arguing about something, but she couldn't hear clearly when she was not close, she was sure that the sound was not loud after the heavy rain , But there are people in front of my house.

A middle-aged woman who died of her husband after the end of the world was a famous woman in this street. She relied on her skin to feed her daughter. Although she seemed to be very glamorous and coquettish on weekdays, she regarded her precious daughter as Heart and liver pain.

The well-groomed woman who used to be dressed up in the past is unkempt, with dry tears on her face and red and swollen eyes. She almost fainted from crying and beat her thighs desperately.

"Why take my daughter to pay for her life! She is only fourteen years old! This is killing me, let me die for my daughter!"

The woman cried and yelled. Someone watching the theater next to her vaguely looked at the small detached house with the door closed, feeling a little frustrated, holding the woman's arm to prevent her from impulsiveness.

"Big girl, don't be stupid. That family is a person who doesn't even dare to move the lord. If you anger them, you may not have good fruit."

"Yeah, yeah, this person is more important than anything else."

Although that is the case, for a woman, the whole point of her life is to pull her daughter well, she can be dirty/low, but her daughter should grow up like a flower.

It was because the daughter of the Yan family was backed by a big man, which saved the fate of filling the river, but instead, she wanted to take her own daughter.

Although the woman knows this kind of thing and it is no wonder that this family and Yan Yongguo, but she finds it difficult to accept, and in her heart is full of hatred towards Yan Yongguo and Yin Yiliu.

To put it bluntly, her daughter had resisted Yan Wen. Although Lord Yan took care of ordinary people like them when she was there, it did not mean that she was willing to be grateful for her daughter's life.

If the hope of living is gone, then what is she afraid of.

So the woman didn't care about the people around her, and started to tell her own fate, wailing and crying.

Yan Yongguo in the room listened silently, without saying a word.

He felt itchy in his hands and also in his throat. He wanted to find his hookah and take a couple of mouthfuls, so as to suppress the irritability and discomfort in his heart, but there was nothing at hand.

His fingers were rubbing unconsciously, and Yan Wen beside him noticed his grandfather's anxiety, raised a pair of watery eyes and fixedly looked at the old man. She did not have such sensitive hearing, and could not hear the noise outside. I understand that although I escaped a catastrophe, there is another girl who has fallen from heaven.

Seeing his granddaughter's ignorant eyes, Yan Yongguo felt even more painful. He has a clear conscience for his life, but after today, he can no longer say that.

Because he knew that a living life was about to die under his nose, but he could do nothing, did not stop it, and could not stop it.

If he said that he was selfish, he would admit it, because he really couldn't die like watching Yan Wen.

The old man's complexion became more and more bitter. Hearing the curses and crying, his heart felt like a needle stick.

Even Yin Yiliu hasn't spoken for a long time.

She rescued a girl, but because of this, another girl was pushed into the abyss of death.

Although she is not the murderer who directly caused the results, but it is her responsibility.

During the time in Rongcheng, Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang actually lived a very peaceful life. Except for some not-so-good people, they also made many new friends.

Old Liu, who had been selling fabrics and leathers in front of the door, enviously touched Jin Yang's robes, Sister Wang, who was in the skin and flesh business, would secretly bite her ears to let her take the opportunity to be brave, and Zhou Lan and others.

This kind of day full of fireworks and popularity is unprecedented. It is different from fighting day and night, but besides eating, drinking and fishing every day, she also feels a trace of loneliness.

Not only her, but also Jin Yang.

This small city contained them, but it was also somewhat incompatible with them. There were no mutant creatures that needed them to be nervous, and there were no so-called source rock fallen ones. Yin Yiliu could not find the motivation to continue to move forward and become stronger.

She once thought about why it was herself who passed through, and why some people gained extremely high abilities.

Everything is unsolvable, and God has its own choice.

But when a person is in a high position, or gets something that ordinary people can't get, it seems that there is more to bear.

The crying outside the window is still not there. The crowds onlookers do not seem to provoke these evolutionary figures. After a few glances, they leave silently. Groups of pedestrians come and go, looking out the door. The woman sitting on the ground with dull eyes shook her head and left.

Suddenly, the door of the room, which had been silent for a long time, opened from the inside, and a young woman paced slowly to her.

The woman saw a pair of bright leather boots. She knew that the owner of the house had come out. She had thought of yelling or going forward and fighting, but at this moment she suddenly lost strength.

In any case, what's the point of having her own daughter not coming back.

So the woman didn't move, her eyes grayed blankly, she didn't care if the young woman came out to chase her away, or beat and scolded her, but just sat quietly.

Suddenly, the straight and slender legs bend down, and the woman's sight bursts into a young and beautiful face. When the woman squats down on one knee, her armor and cloak are slightly raised, appearing very capable.

The woman's eyes were so sore, she hoped that her daughter could become such a person, but she couldn't.

At this moment, the woman had a sincere look and said word by word: "Sorry, I didn't know your daughter would be arrested. Has the sacrificial action started now?"

The woman didn't seem to hear clearly, she was stunned for a while, and she thought about it several times in her heart, and she showed a look of ecstasy.

She ignored her tears and snot, and stammered, grabbing Yin Yiliu's cloak with both hands.

"Also, not yet! It starts at noon..."

As soon as the woman finished her voice, Yin Yiliu nodded slightly. She stood up and walked quickly to the handsome man who had been waiting silently behind her. The two rushed out of the city gate one after another.

The woman was stunned for a long time, and she softened and sat on the ground. She suddenly covered her face, and she never looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

In the room, Yan Yongguo hugged Yan Wen tightly in his arms, with a tear in his muddy eyes, and it took a long time for him to make a heavy kiss on the top of his granddaughter's head.

Yan Wen seemed to understand, she patted her grandfather on the shoulder with her little hand, and neither grandfather and grandson spoke.

Just before rushing out of the room, Jin Yang, who had never said a word about this kind of thing, suddenly looked at Yin Yiliu seriously, and he smiled lightly: "Go do what you want."

So Yin Yiliu hugged the bewildered man deeply, and stamped a resounding kiss on his chin. Her eyes were shining, looking at Jin Yang's increasingly red back ears and misty eyes. Eyes, my heart is especially sore.

This man is very good, has been tolerating her willfulness, she suddenly didn't want to wait any longer.

When the dust settles this time, maybe it's time to say something unspeakable in my heart.

Outside the city gate, huge ripples were rippling under the always quiet and calm moat, and there was a huge creature wandering in the river, raising waves of ripples.

It was a pity that there was a heavy rain last night, and the water level of the river rose a lot overnight, and even the swamp by the river was a little deeper. The air was filled with a faint smell of soil and rotting, mixed with the smell of the river.

In the sky, a bird alien with wings on its back was completely morphed into a huge bird. It fluttered its wings. From top to bottom, you can see what is hidden in the river. The huge shadow is more than ten meters long.

The faint purple electricity flows thinly on the river surface, and as long as it falls, it is an abyss.

Several people stood on the bird’s back, and the leader gave birth to a rat look. A pair of gloomy mung bean eyes looked at the moat beneath him and shouted: "Once in March, I hope you can also abide by the agreement. "

The people around him had no pity, and they twisted a young girl's shoulders and pressed her shoulders down. The pain and the panic in her heart made her tremble and silently shed tears.

She was a little desperate in her heart. From the moment she was captured, she knew her fate, which was to fill the deep river water and be swallowed by the mutant beast.

How could an underage girl beat a strong man with evolutionary ability? Her eyes widened and she stared at the giant shadow beneath her in a daze.

Wouldn't it hurt so much if she was bitten off? Will she have another life?

If so, she would never want to be reborn in this terrible end time, she just wanted to live with her mother in peace.

Above Fancheng in the distance, an evolutionary man with excellent eyesight silently looked at the alien bird species on the river in the distance, and reported to the lord beside him, "It's not Yan Wen, it's another little girl."

Xu Xin was relieved for a moment, but then he was silent again.

Whether it is Yan Wen or other children, such cruel activities are unacceptable.

He didn't know how to stop it, or how to stop the mutant beast that angered in the future. Xu Xin beat the wall in front of him weakly.

Noon came quickly, the sun was no longer blocked by heavy clouds, and the golden sunlight was showered with heat, and the water surface was shimmering even more.

The giant beasts below the river surface moved faster, and the lake surface with small fluctuations suddenly began to show huge ripples, with small splashes of water splashing, and the scene below the lake surface was faintly visible.

When Shen Zhiyu knew the time was up, the people around him made a gesture, and the people around him immediately understood.

The girl's eyes widened, and she felt that one of her hands pushed her back hard, she screamed, and her body fell in response.

The weightlessness made her eyes dizzy. In this brief light and shadow, there was a huge electric eel with a body thicker than a bus rushing out of the water for several meters, and the huge body was covered with sharp jagged teeth. A bite towards the sky fiercely, she was about to crush the fallen girl in her mouth.

Amidst the lightning and the fire, a mutated giant bird roared. It flew extremely fast, like a brown afterimage, quickly skipping the huge mouth of the abyss where the mutated electric eel went up, almost past its fangs. .

A young woman on the bird's back stretched out her hand and held the girl who had fallen from the sky firmly in her arms.

The mutant electric eel rushed into the air, its huge body resembling water, sending a huge wave on the surface of the water.

The lake was surging, and there was silence all around.
