Su Ping thought a lot and walked very quickly. Soon he saw the village under the moonlight, but it was very different from when he came here.

Houses collapsed, farmlands were destroyed, and cracks appeared in the ground. The darkness was so deep that it seemed unfathomable. From afar, there was something as big as a village house. It was tied with ropes and was being pulled away by the Qianyan army who had arrived at some point.

Su Ping was stunned when he saw the village where he lived turned into this. Then he thought of the sudden earthquake earlier today. It seemed that this was the only possibility.

"The village has become like this. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang... and Sister Xiao Cui came home today. I wonder how they are doing?" Su Ping was worried, but he only stopped for a moment and then hurried to the south.

He couldn't care less about so many things. Even the Qianyan Army was nearby, so he had to speed up. Otherwise, if Chen Baiwang didn't come back for too long, it would arouse vigilance, and it would be much more difficult to kill Chen Jihua.

But not long after he got there, Su Ping stopped completely and did not move forward.

Because the white-walled and gray-tiled courtyard on the south side of the village has completely collapsed, the walls have broken into countless pieces, and the tiles are like debris. It is obviously a ruin.

Su Ping couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw the tragic scene. His face showed no trace of coldness or taking advantage of someone's misfortune. After all, there were no Thousand Rocks soldiers searching around the ruins, which meant that no one was buried, or... someone was already dead inside.

If it is the latter, then everyone is happy. Although they failed to kill the enemy, at least he is dead. If it is the former, then the other party has also lost his home, but they are still happy.

Su Ping murmured in his heart: "Mr. Chen, your father has left me without a family, and I want him to have no descendants. You can forget about living, forget about living..."

As he spoke in his heart, he turned and headed to another part of the village, to the house where he had lived for many years and which he once called home.

When he arrived, his pupils shrank, and the relief he had previously felt completely disappeared.

There was no house there. There was a huge hole on the ground, surrounded by broken and fractured wooden boards, scraps of paper flying in the wind, and so on. All were gone.

His savings, his manuscripts, the folding fans given to him by his fellow students, the letters sent by readers, everything was gone, all gone.

Not only the house, but also the kitchen shed and the house of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang next door were in ruins. There was no Qianyan Army searching or rescuing there either, which seemed like a mockery of karma.

Su Ping's heart was suddenly in his throat. He wanted to look around, but there seemed to be nowhere to go, because everywhere was like an abandoned land, and there was no one else except the Qianyan Army.

Looking back around, it is clearly a very familiar place, but I don't know how to find it. I can only "throw a stone to ask for directions" like a stranger who has just arrived here.

A team of Qianyan soldiers who were pulling the unknown giant creature were not far from Su Ping. They noticed the boy with mud on his clothes, and also noticed that the other party was looking at them, so they all stopped.

Su Ping walked over and looked at the Qianyan Army soldier in the front. His eyes slightly avoided and asked, "Uncle Qianyan Army, what happened in the village?"

Qianyanjun did not ask any other questions, and simply replied: "It rained for too long, causing the underground moisture to become thick. The sleeping rock dragon lizards crawled back to the surface and destroyed the South Village."

“Then where are the living people…the living ones?” Su Ping asked hurriedly. He needed to confirm two things before he could feel at ease after one died and the other lived.

The Qianyan soldier still did not hide the truth and determined that Su Ping was a child who had just returned to the village. He did not know what had happened, so he asked him to follow him for a while and sent him to the survivors' camp.

Not far to the east of the village, one could see a number of white-roofed tents being erected, with Qianyan soldiers in white coats walking among them, looking anxious.

The Qianyan soldier told Su Ping to stay in the temporary camp, and then he and the other ten or so people dragged the body of the rock dragon lizard to another place.

Su Ping's face was not very good, because he saw too many broken limbs and bloody bodies along the way, and he was really scared.

Afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the person he was looking for in the camp, his already anxious heart became even more uneasy, and his eyes kept darting around searching without stopping for a moment.

When passing by one of the tents, I saw a man being carried out of it. His whole body was broken, not just the bones. His hands and feet had been straightened, but one could still see his miserable appearance.

He secretly rejoiced a little, because that person was Chen Jihua, whom he had planned to kill not long ago. Then Su Ping went on to look for Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's family.

Su Ping kept looking for anyone who looked like a family of three. His efforts paid off, and after visiting most of the camp, he finally found what he was looking for.

Su Ping was overjoyed. After dodging the teams transporting the wounded, he ran towards that direction. When he got closer, he found that the situation did not seem to be very good.

In Su Ping's sight, Uncle Zhang was lying on a stretcher, his head covered in blood, his eyes closed, while Aunt Zhang was lying on his chest, sobbing.

Next to it, there stood a woman in her twenties, covering her face and wiping her tears. Then, as if she could not hold on any longer, she fell backwards.

Fortunately, he was caught by the Qianyan Army nearby and sent to the tent for examination. He should be fine.

Su Ping remained standing where he was, resisting the urge to rush over. He suddenly began to believe what the neurotic old man said.

At this point, whether he believes it or not, Uncle Zhang’s death is an indisputable fact, and he was once said to have a fate of "killing both life and death".

He didn't believe in fate, but this kind of thing happened before his eyes again and again. He once didn't believe in gods, but this is Teyvat. Perhaps all this is unrelated, but it is the fact and he can't help but believe it.

Regardless of whether he is really destined to be alone and will kill the people around him, now only Aunt Zhang and Xiao Cui are left, and we can no longer take the risk of approaching them.

He wants to... leave!

As for the monthly share, he would find a way to send it to the mother and daughter, but he couldn't say for sure how many months he could send it, after all, the current situation was not very good.

If the rock dragon lizard had not destroyed the village, Su Ping might have been able to make a comeback with his savings, or he might have been able to turn things around and switch to another industry. But now, he could only pin his hopes on that partner.

Thinking of this, Su Ping reached into his arms and took out the only two half-dry and half-wet banknotes he had left, one for 200,000 yuan and the other for 100,000 yuan.

He kept the smaller one for himself. As for the one worth 200,000 Mora, Su Ping asked a Qianyan soldier on guard nearby for help and asked him to give it to the woman.

The Qianyan soldier did not take the money, but looked at the boy in front of him and asked in confusion: "Can't you just take it yourself?"

Su Ping could only make up a half-truthful and intriguing relationship, "My relationship with her family was quite special before, but it is inconvenient for us to meet now. I am afraid that she will become upset when she sees me and pass out again.

So, please help me, Uncle Qianyanjun."

The Qianyan soldier hesitated for a moment, then took the money and said, "Okay, I'll take it for you, but what should I do if she asks me who took it?"

"Just say that a relative took it, that's all!" Su Ping glanced over there and confirmed that Aunt Zhang didn't notice him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Qianyan soldier nodded, and as Su Ping requested, he walked over and handed the money to Aunt Zhang, saying that it was also brought to her by her relatives.

Aunt Zhang's eyes were blurred by tears, but she could barely see that it was a note for 200,000 yuan. She was stunned and asked in confusion, "Who gave it to you?"

"Your relative asked me to give it to you just now." The Qianyan soldier said softly.

Aunt Zhang's heart trembled, and she wiped her eyes quickly, opened her red eyes wide, and tried hard to identify the person who had the answer in her heart, but to no avail.

"Su boy, where are you?" Aunt Zhang's pale lips trembled as she murmured in a low voice.

All her family members were gone, and her husband's side of the family was also dwindling. Besides, how could she have any relatives who could spend 200,000 Mora notes at once?

In this way, it is clear who gave the money.

Of course Su Ping also knew this. He was not afraid that Aunt Zhang would know that it was sent by him. He was just afraid that if he got too close, he would be implicated. Therefore, when the Qianyan Army walked over just now, he ran away.

How will it develop next?

I don’t know, let’s take it one step at a time.

What should I do when I meet Aunt Zhang and Xiao Cui?

Wait until you meet him, before that, try to avoid him.

Where to go next?

Liyue Harbor!

These were the three questions Su Ping was thinking about as he walked on the muddy road. There was one more question, which was not really a question, after all, it was not something he could have just because he wanted it. That was to join the Qianyan Army.

Of course, my intention to join the army will not change, but what if I fail?

Do I have to take the test again until I pass and truly become a member of the Qianyan Army?

This problem did not bother Su Ping for long, and soon a solution was found.

If you have enough money at that time, you can take the exam a few more times until you pass it. Anyway, you have a foundation behind you and you don't have to worry about starving to death.

But if by then you are poor and have no food to eat, then you can only give it a try. If you fail once, you will have to give up, and perhaps you will never have the chance in this life.

The most important issue at the moment, which concerns whether he will be able to join the army many times in the future and how his life will be in all aspects, comes from the partner whom Su Ping has never met.

Although we have never met before, in fact we are in this world. After all, I saw us on that small screen in my previous life, so I still have some impression of us.

It’s just that because it’s been so long, I really can’t remember his appearance. I only remember his name, which will be the future Tianquan Star.

If I can succeed this time, then even if I can't be successful in the future, at least it won't be too difficult.

Just like that, Su Ping's partner, who had no idea that he was involved in so many things, inexplicably had a lot of invisible pressure on his shoulders.
