Chapter 41: The Return

Seeing that the scene was still turbulent, Zhong Hou had an idea and lied: "I'm just an ordinary farmer, not an immortal as everyone says." I have a distant relative in Gaojia Village, and I came to join him, and everyone misunderstood. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a while, and they all looked up and down with suspicious eyes.

However, when they saw the agricultural three-tooth nail rake that Zhong Hou was holding in his hand, everyone completely believed it.

If it weren't for the peasants, who would have nothing to do with carrying a handful of farm tools everywhere, and the immortals would not be able to do such a humiliating thing.

Seeing this, the crowd began to calm down, and instead shook their heads and sighed.

"Young man, Mama Liu blames you. ”

"It's okay, I can understand everyone's feelings, can you tell me about the situation in Gaojia Village now?"

Before Mother Liu could speak, the crowd that had just calmed down began to get excited again, crackling and saying everything they knew.

Although he had already learned the general situation of Gaojia Village from Feng Wuji's mouth, Feng Wuji's flat tone at that time made Zhong Hou not feel the smoke of fireworks at all.

At this time, although there was nothing new in what everyone said, the crowd was surging with emotion, and the look and tone of expression and tone were eager to devour those cultivators alive, which made Zhong Hou feel like he was there.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the beacon fire in the sky, and the scene of the wilderness suddenly appeared in Zhong Hou's mind.

Faintly, he seemed to hear the sounds of begging for mercy, cries and screams.

Unconsciously, Zhong Hou had clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. It was mixed with sympathy for Gaojia Village, but also mixed with resentment towards the inhumane cultivators, and the inner emotions were fully revealed.

The tragedy in Gaojia Village may be more serious than imagined.

The only special news in the content, which is also very happy, is that the villagers of the Gao family have unjustly asked for their lives.

Since the tragedy, there have been cultivators who have gone to Gaojia Village to fish in troubled waters, but I don't know when it started, some people found that these cultivators never appeared again, and all of them disappeared mysteriously.

No one knows the specific reason, and everyone speculates whether this strange phenomenon is whether the villagers of the Gao family are unwilling to die in vain and come back to take revenge.

Slowly, this news passed through the evil, and finally evolved into what everyone calls for their lives today.

After listening, Zhong Hou's complicated mood was more hesitant.

Originally, he thought that since he was passing by, he would explore by the way and see if he could encounter some opportunities, but now that his own safety is at stake, he has to be cautious.

Those cultivators who mysteriously disappeared must have cultivated higher than him, and they were certainly not half a star, but all of them were gone, and Zhong Hou didn't believe that he would be the only lucky one.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Hou decided to return to Situ's house as originally planned, and then make plans.

After bidding farewell to everyone and determining the coordinates, Zhong Hou embarked on the return journey again.

Qingya Town is not very far from Anyang City, but Zhong Hou, who was seriously injured, still took a full ten days. Thankfully, his injuries are gradually recovering, otherwise it might have taken longer.

It's just that as soon as he arrived at Anyang City, he found that the atmosphere here was very strange.

When I first came to Anyang City, due to the change in the Situ family, the city gate guards were transferred, and the pedestrians and merchants who came and went freely seemed to be slightly chaotic.

Despite this, the endless flow of people can still highlight the prosperity of Anyang City.

Now there is no longer the scenery of the past, it seems to be extremely depressed, and the passers-by are all depressed, and there is a gloomy cloud.

After less than half a month of leaving, what happened here?

With doubts, Zhong Hou walked quickly to Situ's house.

Before arriving at the destination, Zhong Hou probably understood why the passers-by had such expressions.

As the overlord of Anyang City, a small half of the Situ family in the city is the direct industry of the Situ family, and most of the remaining half are more or less in business with the Situ family.

It can be said that every household in Anyang City has an inextricable relationship with the Situ family.

Now on the street, which is usually bustling, six or seven out of ten shops have closed, and the rest are still open.

If you start your whole body, you don't have to think about it to know that the source of such a situation must come from the Situ family.

Seeing this scene, combined with the time, Zhong Hou immediately had a guess.

Things are absolutely inseparable from the wind without a trace.

I just don't know how these two unrelated points are connected between the wind without a trace to kill people and seize treasures and whether Anyang City is prosperous or not.

I'm afraid the answer will have to go back to Situ's house to find out.

There are still brocade guards guarding the main gate of the Situ family's compound, but the number of people has changed from nine on the left and right to dozens of people.

It is more appropriate to say that it is guarded, and it is better to block the door. The gate, which is more than ten meters wide, has been blocked by the Jinyi guards at this time, and the defense is so tight that I am afraid that even flies will not be able to fly in.

Zhong Hou didn't think much about it, turned around and walked towards the back door that led to the outer courtyard of Situ's house.

As expected, there was also a new scene in the outer courtyard, and all the subordinates who had been doing their jobs had disappeared without a trace.

It is estimated that a huge outer courtyard has not been taken care of for several days, with dead leaves and dust everywhere, except for no people.

Zhong Hou's brows furrowed, and he began to worry about Fu Bo's safety.

Walking quickly to Fubo's independent courtyard, Zhong Hou shouted loudly: "Father-in-law... Father-in-law ... Father-in-law ... ”

As soon as he shouted, Fauber's figure came out of the house.

Seeing that Fu Bo's spirit was a little haggard, he didn't find anything abnormal on the whole, and Zhong Hou's heart settled down.

Seeing Zhong Hou returning, Fu Bo was also very excited, three steps and two steps, and patted Zhong Hou's shoulder a few times with both hands, before he said in a trembling voice: "Finally waited until you came back... Hahaha... Finally waiting for you to come back ... ”

The two have been together for several months, and Fu Bo knows Zhong Hou very well, so without waiting for Zhong Hou to speak, he immediately continued: "After so many days outside, I must not have eaten." Walk... I'll take you to dinner first... ”

Without waiting for Zhong Hou to react, Fauber pulled him towards the kitchen.

Zhong Hou's heart warmed, and only relatives would care about whether they were well fed and warmly dressed.

In order not to spoil this warm scene, Zhong Hou decided to suppress the doubts in his heart, and the father and son got together first.

The kitchen is also empty, but there are still a lot of ingredients, and with the joint efforts of father and son, a table of sumptuous delicacies has been on the table in a short time.

After gobbling it up, Zhong Hou first simply told the story of the past ten days.

The content is true and false, and the section where the wind is without a trace is hidden, and it is changed to Situ Jianren's deeds being exposed and absconding, and he was going to be arrested, but he was resisted. After a fight, Situ Jianren was killed by mistake and was injured himself. After the injury recovered, he hurried back.

Hearing that Zhong Hou was injured, Fu Bo took off Zhong Hou's clothes on the spot and carefully checked it up and down.

Seeing that the injury was no longer serious, he relieved himself.

The two got together for a while, and Zhong Hou said the doubts in his heart.

Fu Bo did not hide it, and began to tell everything that had happened in the Situ family in the past ten days.
