Chapter 466: The Corpse in the Dry Well
Hejvi wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. "Paderman Yatong, the Great Wall Administration will dismember you!" he shouted into the carriage, "You plotted to kill the Kingdom Guards!
Sdeku Yatong looked back in the direction of the carriage, and seeing that his father did not show up, he immediately turned to look at Haijivi, who was surrounded by a group of men, "Arrest him first, he is a traitor, let him confess!" He said, "His Kingdom Guards plotted to kill my father, everyone can see it, don't you say?"
"Yes! Commander Styku is right!"
"That's it!"
"Kill the traitor!"
Steku is Paderman's son, and he is also Pademan's personal commander, with a cavalry team of twenty people, naturally, he has a lot of cronies, at this time, everyone coaxed together, and immediately occupied the moral high ground. The others were all servants and subordinates, and they didn't even dare to raise their eyes when they had just attacked Haijivi's guards.
Haijivi fought with Steku for hundreds of rounds, and was attacked by a fifth-level samurai, and his exhaustion and serious injuries made him a little trance-like. At this time, he was besieged by seven or eight people, and he was immediately kicked in the chest by one person, and the black iron long sword was seized.
"Let me ask him a question. Sideku said.
"Hell of it, conspirators! shameless man!" Hygivi was bound by a rope and lay at Steku's feet, blood coming out of the corner of his mouth, and if he could look up, he would definitely spit the blood in his mouth's face, but the foot on his back would not allow him to move.
"You insult and slander the son of a baron, and by that I can kill you!"
"If you want to kill, hurry up!"
"No! you have to admit that you want to assassinate my father, you want to assassinate a prince baron, it's treason!" a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Staku's mouth, once he was personally admitted by Hajvi, then he could use merit to enslave his flower meadow at any cost! "After you admit it, I will give you a good time, otherwise you don't want to die like this!"
Haijvi has been a baron for more than twenty years, and he never knew that the boy was going to play with power, and he would never go his way, "You will be punished!
"Bolt him to his horse!" Steku ordered his men.
They dragged Baron Hygivi's mortally wounded body from the ground, the former baron in tattered clothes and without a shred of respect, and finally, his body was dragged to the ground by his previous mount, a frightened horse. "Don't kill him," Sideku thought he must make him confess, "throw him on his horse's back, this guy faints." ”
The team had made their way into the Heath Sea, where the grey grass could cover their calves. Hajvi Yakel had woken up once before dark, he had retched violently on his horse, then fainted, and when he woke up again, he found himself in a dilapidated room. "Isn't there a living person around?" Styku's somewhat grumpy voice reached his ears, "go find the well, the people of the village have left, but they can't take the well with them." ”
The biting wind of the wasteland sea blew in through the broken window, bringing Haijivi's consciousness back to the real world, he finally opened his eyes and saw the scene in this dilapidated house, it should be a grass hut for donkeys or horses, there is no one around to guard him, in fact, he, he does not have to guard. With serious injuries all over his body and a lot of flowers, who can such a Haijivi pose a threat to?
Lying on the hay, Haijivi listened quietly to the sound outside the house, and after a long time, he finally heard the cowardly voice of a servant, "Master Styku, we have found the only dry well in the north of the village, but ......"
"But what!" Steku's voice was a little irritable.
"But the dry well stinks!" We threw a torch down and saw that it was full of ...... Corpses!"
Silence, silence for a long time.
"Did the horse thieves do it?" said Sideku, "there is no need for the horse thieves to kill everyone in the village, and what is there to rob the poor people of the wasteland? ”
"Young master, the cavalry lord who went with me said that it didn't look like a horse thief did it, they let you go over, and two corpses have already been recovered. ”
"What's so nice about a corpse?"
"They said you must come and have a look. ”
"Go and get the guy inside, don't let him run. ”
Squeak.
The door was opened, and Hygivi saw the stars and moon outside, had he been unconscious for a day?or had he been unconscious for a day and a night, and his drowsy head made it impossible for him to judge. Before he had time to think about it, his body was carried out of the house by two servants, the person in front of him was Styku, and he knew the back.
He was thrown onto his horse, perhaps out of kindness, his throat was dry and thirsty, and his brain was dry, and no thought came to him, until the horse led him to the place where the crowd gathered.
A lot of people, almost everyone gathered around, except for Paderman's huge carriage. Haijivi struggled to keep himself awake, and if he stayed groggy, he wouldn't stand a chance.
A dry well, surrounded by many people, two corpses that looked like villagers. Seeing this, Haijivi did not come to any conclusion, and could only speculate from the words that came out of the crowd: everyone in this village was dead, the death was horrible, the whole body turned black as if it had been poisoned, and the corpses were piled up in the only well in the village. After a stick of incense, Baron Haijvi could only collect this information.
For some reason, the face of the scout veteran suddenly appeared in his mind, "It was the Kingdom soldiers who did it!" The veteran's voice repeated in his mind, "The Kingdom soldiers killed everyone! The Kingdom Guards are slaughtering the village!" He shook his head violently before throwing the scout veteran's voice out of his mind.
How could you really believe the scout veteran's statement, but the other party died so decisively, plus the scene in this village. Why? What's wrong with this world?
"How many villages are there in the wasteland sea?" Staku's voice became clear in his ears.
"About ten of them, young master!" someone replied, "No one knows how much, but according to the barracks, fifteen, of course, it could be more!"
"Go and wake up my father, we must find the next village, or we won't be able to get out of the wasteland tomorrow without water replenishment. In the end, Sideku ordered.
Hajvi felt his crotch move again, and carried him into the night.
They walked for an hour in the dark sea of wasteland, through the gray grass, and as far as they could see, they finally found the next village.
Haijivi glanced at the stars in the sky, and based on his astronomical research, he knew it was early in the morning.
Tucheng Village!
He saw the stone monument at the entrance of the village, and saw that the gray weeds were about to cover the stone monument, and he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, as far as the eye could see, there was darkness in the village, and there was no trace of life.
It wasn't just Haijivi who was silent, everyone was in silence. The irascible Sideku was no longer able to hiss, "Go find the well," he ordered the servants who followed the horse, "you all go, and find all the wells in the village as soon as possible." ”
Next to the only well in Tucheng Village, a small black flag fluttered in the wind, no one knew what the small black flag represented, and the body in the well was salvaged. The black corpse is the same as the one I've seen before!
Silence, dead silence.
After a while, the servants returned one by one, "Is there only one well in the village?" Losing the water source, Paderman finally had no heart to flirt with the little nightingale in the carriage, and stood by the well, and shouted, "Go out and find me again!
Twenty guards remained in the field, and they were summoned by Sideku. Hajvi lay limply on his horse, unable to hear what they were plotting. But he could probably guess that if he encountered the dark forces that were slaughtering the village, he would escort Padman to run first or something.
Two wandering wild dogs came out of the darkness, and in horror the crowd drew their long swords.
When they saw that they were two wild dogs that were so thin that they had only a layer of skin left, they didn't even have the heart to deal with them, and struck the ground with their scabbards to scare the wild dogs away.
The houses in the village were all in good condition, and there were even a few houses that were obviously a little richer, and there was no trace of robbery in them, so they concluded that this was not a horse thief. After coming to this conclusion, it did not reassure everyone, but everyone became anxious, if it was not a horse thief, then who would it be? The most frightening thing is not the enemy in the open, but the enemy in sight!
They did not find any living creatures except for two wild dogs, and the servants who had been sent to find the well all ran back.
Nothing.
There was only one well in the entire village, a dry well full of corpses of villagers!
Is it impossible to stay here, either walk for two days and one night and get out of the wasteland sea, or find a village with living people and find a water supply, this is the order given by Steku. All, everybody is acting again. Half of the team did not have horses, so naturally the speed could not be raised. Looking at the servants behind him, Staku just wanted to break all their legs and let this group of hapless servants go to hell when he returned to the territory, he thought to himself, and then found a third uninhabited village before dawn.
The low walls of the patchwork itself have been weathered, and there are no people and no signs of battle.
A dry well full of corpses.
Other than that, they didn't find anything.
After walking through three villages, Steku came to the only conclusion: the villages in the wasteland sea would only dig a well, and the well would be full of human corpses.
It must be said that Steku had killed people and seen terrible deaths, but he had never seen any corpse like in a well: pitch black, with only skins and bones left.
"There are no injuries on them?" this time, Sdeku relented and asked his knights to examine the corpses in the dry well, "Then how did they die?
In the carriage, Padman Yathong said to the little nightingale beside him, "A few corpses frighten you, little prodigal hoof?"
The little nightingale didn't speak, dumbfounded, and let the other party put a fat hand into his pink obscene clothes.
The carriage drove slowly past the dry well, crushing the small black flag lying next to the dry well......
