When Hei Shui City arrives, you can only enter the city by paying the city tax to the guards at the door.

Walking on the streets of Heishui, there are fewer residents here. Perhaps because I heard that Heishui City is not peaceful, so few people stay here for more. Why don’t we keep going if we meet the dead man on the road before? There is nothing strange here.

"It's so expensive. Just the entrance fee is fifty copper coins. I'm afraid the city lord of this city is going to make a fortune." Ouyang Lanting calculated carefully and recorded the whereabouts of every cent clearly.

"Hei Shui City is also a fortress. After leaving the city, it is the Heilong River. There is a robber village stuck there. They are good at water wars. It is said that they can also invite the Dragon God out of the river and swallow passing ships. So the officers and soldiers have no choice but to pay tribute to them every year to ensure that the official road will not be cut off. It is understandable to collect some money." I explained.

Everyone nodded with great enlightenment, Mo Qiushui looked at me with admiration, and I asked, "Is there anything on my face?"

"No, I have never heard of these rumors, I just feel that they are mysterious." Mo Qiushui said.

"There is nothing mysterious. Heilong Village can be said to be as old as Heishui City. It was not originally called Heilong Village, but Longyan Village. Later, when the city was built, it already existed. No one can compare to their understanding of Heilong River." I said.

Hearing this, they had a layer of worry on their faces. In fact, there was one thing I didn't say. There was really some mysterious creature in the Heilong River that likes to eat human brains. Every year, Hei Shui City would send a group of death row prisoners or prisoners from enemy countries, and those people were fed to these mysterious creatures.

Judging from their appearance, I'd better hide this matter. It would be better to tell them after this period of time.

Ouyang Lan said arrogantly, "It must be yours."

"Tsk! Believe it or not." I said disdainfully.

"Miss Ouyang, actually I think what the master said is quite right, so let's be careful." Mo Qiushui defended me.

Ouyang Lan became even more angry, "Yes, yes, whatever he said is right. He will deceive the unsavvy girl with sweet words."

"Don't go too far!" I was a little angry. Ouyang Lan has become less and less polite these days. It's okay to scold me. Mo Qiushui is an innocent little girl with no family and is so cruel. I comforted Mo Qiushui, "Don't pay attention to her, she's just a crazy woman."

Ouyang Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Of course Leng Zheng wanted to help her, "Shi Xiao, are you fascinated by this vixen? Apologize to Ouyang Lan!"

"Hmph, I've been holding you back for a long time. I'll tell you that she is not a vixen. If you insult her again, don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing that I insisted on protecting Mo Qiushui, Li En couldn't say anything to comfort me, so he had to say, "You all calm down for a while, everyone on the street is watching."

Leng Zheng didn't make sense here, so he didn't continue to get entangled. Looking at the sadness on Ouyang Lan's face, I also felt that my words were too heavy. Li En patted my shoulder, "Please take care of yourself."

I looked at the three of them leaving, sighed silently, and then looked at Mo Qiushui, "It seems that only the two of us are left to depend on each other."

"I will always be by my master's side." Mo Qiushui said with a firm look on his face.

I stroked her hair and followed them on a horse. I gradually smelled a fishy smell and called a fish vendor next to me, gave him ten copper coins, asked him to help catch up with the three people in front, and told them where the inn was. We dismounted and hid aside, watching them leave silently.

Mo Qiushui smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the master would still care about them."

"Let's go, this is a fish-selling place, it's so fishy. Let's find a place to stay." I took Mo Qiushui around Heishui City. She rarely came outside. Even since she was a child, the only time she had traveled far away was with me, so when she saw new things in the city, she would be curious and surprised.

Sometimes I am excited for a water creature I have never seen before, and I have to dance and tell me how that creature is. While I find it funny, I also sigh at her innocence.

In the evening, the sun set, and there were more uninvited guests on the road. Wearing armor of the guards in Hei Shui City, carrying stretchers, the people lying on them were covered in blood. More than a dozen guards drove the people on the road. We stopped by the road. When Mo Qiushui saw those people, he asked, "It seems like they were the clothes we had worn before. What happened?"

"I don't know either. It may be related to Heilong Village." When I saw the common people on the street, their faces were not right. I felt it was necessary to remind the three of them. I said, "Are you hungry?"

"If the master has something to do, you can do it first, Qiu Shui can bear it."

Mo Qiushui is good at all points, but he just feels like he is talking. I frowned and said, "If you are hungry, you are hungry. Let's go and have a meal."

I took her to a restaurant with a separate private room. After ordering the food, I asked her to stay here and not go anywhere. I left the restaurant and found the inn where the other three were staying. I found the three of them in the stables. I found the guest room where the three of them lived, and then asked for two guest rooms at the inn not far away.

I remembered that when I went to investigate their situation just now, I found that Ouyang Lan was still sad, so I bought some desserts and asked the waiter to send it to me. I returned to the restaurant, but the dishes had not yet come up. I couldn't help but lose my temper, "What did it do?" Mo Qiushui hurriedly stopped me, "I'm afraid that the dishes will get cold when you come back, so I didn't let them serve."

"Oh, I thought I had forgotten us." I continued, "Then let them serve the food, I'm already hungry."

At the dinner table, Mo Qiushui took out a pair of earrings. I glanced at it. Wasn’t it the thing I gave to Liu Xueyan last time? How could it be with her? Mo Qiushui said: “What you left when you left is handed over to you now.”

I held it in my hand, looked at the two jade petals lying on the palm of my hand, and recalled Liu Xueyan's face. A sense of sorrow surged in my heart. Only Liu Xueyan could understand myself and relieve her sorrow. Now Luo Xue has not yet awakened, let alone resurrecting Liu Xueyan.

I wrapped the earrings into the package, took out a round thing, took it out and saw that it was the eyeball. I found it at the coffin shop owner before, and I almost forgot it in the package. I hung the bead on my chest and said to Qiu Shui: "I was fascinated by what I thought about, let's have a meal."
