You must know that the people of the God Nation are brave and good at fighting, even if it is such a small village, it is not weak in combat effectiveness.

And although the village is located on the border, this trade route is six or seven years old, and the wild monsters along the way have been almost cleared, and it is unlikely that there will be creatures that can threaten the entire village.

What is the reason that the entire village of the gods has disappeared without a trace?

Instead of entering the villagers' houses, the caravan gathered in a clearing in the center of the village, where they piled up wagons and goods in a defensive circle.

All the merchants stayed in the circle, and the caravan guards scattered around the village to find clues.

After a while, the caravan guards returned one after another.

"Commander, there is no problem with the water source in the village, it is a mountain spring water brought down from the mountains, there is no pollution, and you can drink it with confidence!" said an experienced old guard.

"Report to the head of the regiment, the village has been searched everywhere, there is no trace of a battle, and the village does not look like it has been attacked. Another guard also reported.

"A lot of valuables haven't been taken from the villagers' houses, this is definitely not a move, it's more like an escape!" said the third guard.

What is it that makes the villagers of this small village flee in a hurry, and they can't even take care of their property?

The head of the Yi regiment frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Where is the grain in the village, and how much is left?"

The third guard replied, "I've basically taken most of the food!" ”

"In which direction did they flee?, can you find out?" asked Commander Yi.

The old guard nodded and said, "We found wheel marks and a large number of footprints in the northwest of the village, and they should have fled to the northwest." ”

"Northwest, isn't that the direction of the wilderness?" Captain Yi's brow furrowed even deeper.

This caravan came from the wilderness in the northwest, and finally came to the Hawkeye Plain, but they didn't know that the villagers here fled to the wilderness, and they didn't know what they had experienced.

Captain Yi told Chief Steward Fu about these situations, and after Steward Fu heard this, he immediately convened a plenary meeting of the caravan, and specially asked people to invite the Mu girl and the Mu brothers.

In the eyes of Steward Fu, one of these two is smart, the other is calm, with the two of them by his side, no matter how difficult things are, they are easy to discuss.

Steward Fu and Head Yi first gave a brief introduction to the situation in the village, and all the businessmen present heard it clearly and clearly.

Then, Grand Steward Fu said with a serious face: "Ladies and gentlemen, so far, we don't know what happened in the village, only that these villagers have all fled to the wilderness. So, there are only two options before us, first, to immediately retreat into the wilderness and return the way we came, and second, to move on, but it is likely to be extremely risky. What do you think?"

As soon as he said this, someone in the crowd immediately shouted, "Of course we are going on! We are all here! We must not come in vain! It is true that we should get rid of the goods as soon as possible." ”

"There isn't even a shadow of a ghost here in Fashen City! Who are you giving it to? If something is abnormal, it is a demon, and the people of this entire village have disappeared, so it's hard to guarantee that we won't be in big trouble, so let's go back!"

"If you don't take any risks when you come out to do business, if you don't sell these goods, it's a dead word to go back! You can go whatever you want, anyway, I'm going to keep going until I sell the goods." This is a young businessman who is self-assured, and he shouted unwillingly.

For a time, there were differences of opinion among the merchants, and there were all kinds of things.

At this time, Steward Fu suddenly bowed his hand very respectfully to the pair of barbecue brothers and sisters, and asked, "Miss Mu, what do you think?"

Duanmu Qingyi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I listen to my brother." ”

As soon as the two had such a conversation, everyone present turned their eyes on the two brothers and sisters.

Lu Menglu finally couldn't stay silent anymore, thought about it, and said, "I will continue to move forward." ”

As soon as these words came out, the merchants who supported the continuation of the march immediately cheered.

And those businessmen, who were conservative by nature and timid and fearful, also gritted their teeth one after another, and nodded with complicated expressions on their faces.

Since the Mu brothers and sisters have said that there is no problem and they can move on, of course they will follow.

After all, if the caravan continued to move forward and let a few of them return to the wilderness on their own, they wouldn't dare, so they had to follow the crowd.

The caravan continued on its journey, and after three days of walking, it passed through a dozen villages, and it turned out that the village it had encountered before was all empty, as if all the villagers had disappeared.

It wasn't until the fourth day that the caravan passed through a mountain range when it encountered a group of gods behind the hillside.

To be precise, this is a group of homeless people, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, in ragged clothes, who are digging on the hillside.

And the first reaction of these homeless people when they saw the caravan was to turn around and run, as if this caravan was such a terrifying monster.

With a wave of his hand, the three elite caravan guards strode after them, and they hung tightly behind the group of homeless people, and finally saw the hole, caught a straggler, and brought him to the caravan.

"Don't be afraid! We are a caravan from Tianzun Divine City, not bandits!" said Grand Steward Fu with a pleasant face.

These homeless people are all the people of Fashen City, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Steward Fu is also quite polite to them.

Sure enough, when he finished speaking, the skinny outcast, who was not so frightened, blinked his eyes, and said nothing.

"We left you behind to ask why the villages along the road are empty, what happened to your place?" asked Steward Fu.

The homeless man did not reply, but looked at the hand of a merchant who had half a cake in his hand, and had just eaten half of it when he rushed over to see the excitement.

Seeing this, Steward Fu hurriedly made a look, and someone immediately brought a stack of bread.

"You answer my questions, these are for you!" said Steward Fu unhurriedly.

When the outcast's eyes straightened at the sight of the stack of bread, he swallowed wildly, and a gurgling sound came from his throat.

"There's a plague! The human-to-human kind! If you come into contact with an outsider, you'll die!" the outcast muttered.

"What? When did it start? Does everyone in the big city know about it?" asked Grand Steward Fu repeatedly.

The homeless man shook his head and said, "I don't know! Everyone has run away, hid in the mountains, catch birds to eat, dig wild vegetables, and don't die." ”

When Steward Fu saw that this homeless man was talking babblingly, he looked like he hadn't read any books, and he couldn't even express the meaning clearly, so he had to nod and let people give him this stack of bread.

The homeless man stumbled and ran as fast as he could, and suddenly he was out into the woods and no one was seen.

Grand Steward Fu's face was full of worry, and he turned to Lu Menglu and Duanmu Qingyi and asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Menglan glanced at Duanmu Tsing Yi and motioned for her to speak.

Duanmu Qingyi nodded, and said crisply: "Obviously, there is a plague on the side of Fashen City, the specific scope is not clear, and the risk of continuing to move forward is very high." ”

"However, it's best to go directly to Fashen City to have a look, if you need supplies over there, your goods can be sold at a good price. Of course, if you feel unsure, it is recommended to return to the wilderness immediately and turn back to the White Sun Gate. There is no need to put your life on the line in order to make money. ”

"It's the same with the caravan guards, you can divide a part to go back first, send back the merchants who don't want to go to Fashen City, and you can also bring this news back, and the next time the merchant house brings goods, you can prepare in this direction. ”

Duanmu Qingyi's words were exhaustive, reasonable, and well-organized, and he heard that Steward Fu nodded again and again, and felt that it was a pity that this girl did not manage the fact that she was in charge of the business! Even if she was an old steward, she did not have such a reaction as her, and she was able to analyze all these pros and cons in such a short period of time.

Everyone in the caravan was very convinced of Duanmu Qingyi, and when she said this, some of the merchants retreated in their hearts.

Among them, some of them brought goods of low value, and some of them brought goods that had nothing to do with disaster relief, and it was estimated that even if they were transported to Fashen City, they would not be able to make money, and there was also a risk of contracting diseases, so it was safer to return to the wilderness and return to Bairimen.

As for some other merchants, they are crooked, the goods they brought, including medicines, food and wine, should be in short supply for the disaster-stricken city, as long as they transport these goods to the Fashen City, they can definitely make a lot of money, so they did not hesitate to choose to move forward.

Anyway, the caravan has already entered the realm of Fashen City, and if it goes forward for a hundred and ten miles, through the Eagle Eye Plain, it will reach the first line of the Nuqiao sky, and after the first line of heaven, it will enter the outer city of the Fashen City, and there is no need for so many guards to protect the safety of the caravan, so the head of Yi and his subordinates totaled and divided half of his subordinates to escort those merchants who were unwilling to continue to go home.

The rest of the caravan members, as well as half of the escort group, decided to cross the Eagle Eye Plains and head to the City of the Gods.

The caravan soldiers divided into two ways, and the two teams parted ways.

Lu Menglan and Duanmu Qingyi have no doubt that they are going to move on.

In fact, as long as they have some strength, they are confident in their physical fitness, and with the strength of the people of the God nation, what plague cannot be resisted?

In their eyes, those displaced people and villagers are afraid of the spread of diseases because their physical fitness is too weak.

"Everyone should pay attention to the food on the road, especially the retreating teams, and the food must be well stocked. The Great Wei Commercial Bank brought you out, and I don't want any of you to have an accident, everyone has to come back safely. Steward Fu said loudly.

Although it is only a few words of advice, it makes people feel warm.

As for those merchants who continued to move forward, they didn't have to worry about the lack of food, there were several truckloads of goods in the caravan that were the specialties of Tianzun Divine City, which was a kind of dried dried meat, which was very delicious. And the merchant who brought this batch of goods was very happy, and felt that he was about to develop!

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion around the caravan.

It was the sound of people's footsteps, and the sound of bodies parting leaves, and there were people coming from all directions, and many, many people.
