Gu Xiaoxiao woke up, and there were four or five people hanging on the beams of the cold room. Good guys, the shopkeeper is still there, and he hasn't changed his clothes from yesterday during the day.

One night passed, these people were frozen and sobbed, and their eyes were glazed. The beams are strong enough.

"Wake up, do you want to eat?" Zhan Yan still sat quietly at the table by the window. The night passed as if it hadn't moved.

"No, I'm not hungry yet...... Let's eat it, we're going to leave later, and we don't have time to eat. "Gu Xiaoxiao swallowed Bigu Dan when she set off. It's been almost three or four days now.

"What should they do?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the string of dried "bacon" on the roof, and wanted to laugh.

"Send it to the government, we can't control the affairs of the mortal world. Zhan Yan said in a low voice. Last night he went downstairs to the back kitchen to have a look. There were also some shredded corpses that hadn't been disposed of.

Especially in the pigsty. The pigs ate all human flesh, and some of the piled meat rotted and gave off a disgusting smell.

Pigs are not like ordinary domestic pigs, with long fangs, very irritable, and when they see a living person, they keep grinding their claws on the ground and making a pig cry. Zhan Yan didn't look at it, and when the sword passed, they were all dead. He can't deal with people, this pig, kill it, kill it.

"Is it useful? I don't think it's useful, otherwise they wouldn't be at large. Gu Xiaoxiao took a small spoon and ate the corn and chicken porridge in the bowl, it was very fragrant, and she snorted for half a bowl.

"Last night I sent a message to the border guards stationed here, and we will be there soon. Zhan Yan looked away, and it was his third brother who was stationed here.

It's not neighboring countries that are stationed, it's monsters. Every year in March, there is a large breeding period for monsters here.,When they breed, they will attack the human village.,And from time to time sneak attacks.,When there was no defense before.,Every time the human village is seriously injured.。

When Gu Xiaoxiao and the others went downstairs, they met the shopkeeper who was wiping the table, and he was surprised when he saw Zhan Yan and Gu Xiaoxiao, but he reverted to a rigid face.

"Did the guest have breakfast?" he pulled the rag over his shoulder, picked up the chopsticks and walked to the counter.

"No, let's go, the bandits have been arrested, hanging from the beams, and someone will come and take them away. Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him.

The shopkeeper's hand trembled.

"You can go. Zhan Yan said.

"Thank you. The shopkeeper turned his head and looked at the two of them.

"Well, let's go. Then the two of them really left, heading for the town where the accident happened.

It's still a bit cold this winter, especially in this desolate place. The backs, one large and one small, were sent away by the sand.

After they left, the shopkeeper took care of everything in the store, went upstairs, and pushed Gu Xiaoxiao's room open.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm......" The shopkeeper who was hanging in the center saw that it was the shopkeeper who came, and he was excited: Dead second dog, put us down!

The shopkeeper didn't move, and walked over for a long time and took out the cloth from his mouth.

"Dead man, don't you see we're tied up? Why don't you put us down! The shopkeeper was hung on the beam, swaying left and right with the fierce action, and the three people next to him also stared at the shopkeeper.

"Nope. The shopkeeper came back to his senses as soon as he scolded him, took off the hat on his head, refused neatly, and then turned around and went out.

After a while, I came in with a kitchen knife.

The shopkeeper looked at him and took a knife, and thought it was for them to cut the rope, "What kind of knife to go out and get, isn't there one on the table, it's very fast, you be careful, put us down quickly, that person last night, I don't know ......"

The shopkeeper's words were intercepted at once, and he watched the shopkeeper take the knife and gesture at the first person, and then directly cut his head, the knife was a little blunt, and only a third of it was cut in.

The big man's eyes were still wide, first he looked at the shopkeeper, and then he rolled his eyes to see the knife stuck in his head, howling in his mouth.

"Tsk, it's stuck. Then the shopkeeper took out a knife and chopped it several times, until his head was like a flattened garlic clove, "It's comfortable, isn't it?"

"Please, let us go, I, I don't dare anymore. The shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper who was splashed with blood and white brains with a horrified face, and a stream of urine flowed out, which stinked.

They do kill people, but they always kill people who are like little lambs, satisfy their hobbies and get a lot of money, kill people and make some carcasses into buns, and throw the rest into pigsty to feed the pigs.

But now the roles have changed, they have become lambs, "What are you doing, this is illegal, please, let us go, look at the love for more than a year." ”

"Hmm, let you go?" shopkeeper smiled, his eyes were bloodshot, "Let you go?" Then why don't you let go of my parents and younger brother?"

Then he walked up to the second person, saw his eyes that were about to break, and laughed even more wildly, "My brother is still so young, only half as tall as me, and finally his hair has grown to his shoulders, and he wrote back to show off to me." ”

While talking, his subordinates kept talking, knocking and knocking, like chopping vegetables in the back kitchen, this voice sounded in his head for countless days and nights, and he woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again.

"I still have a little sister, oh maybe a little brother, and she's only four months old, and maybe she's just getting hands and feet in my mother's belly. The little clothes I bought for her were piled up in several boxes. The shopkeeper's face showed a happy look, and then quickly changed to a hideous face, "But all this is gone, my father, mother, younger brother and unborn little sister are gone." Do you know how long I've been waiting for them at home? ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and the more fierce he became, "It's only half a month's journey, I haven't come back for a month, I haven't come back for two months, and I haven't come back after half a year, do you know what happened?"

He would have gone crazy a long time ago, and when he knew that his family was gone, he would have died! If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people in this group, and he was a scholar, there was no way, they would have died a long time ago!

"Shopkeeper, it's your turn......"

When Zhan Chu arrived, the blood in the house spread to the outside of the house, all of them were broken corpses, piece by piece, and the scene was bloody and violent.

The shopkeeper changed into clean clothes, and his hair was neatly combed, looking like a humble and polite gentleman.

Anyway, this is Zhan Chu's first impression. "You are?"

"I'm the shopkeeper here, and I killed the person. The shopkeeper stood in front of him.

"You killed?" Zhan Chu was a little surprised, this person's temperament is clean, not like a person who will do this.

"Yes, in Xia Jiang Zeqin, a native of the west of Hongmen City. Jiang Zeqin gave a salute. "I'll accept any punishment, but can I ask you to scatter my ashes here when I'm dead?"

There was no reason for him to be buried in his ancestral grave. Their ancestors are all scholarly families, and they have gained fame, and his father is a great Confucian, who taught him to treat people and things since he was a child, and his personality and morality.

He doesn't deserve to go back to his ancestral grave after he tortured and killed these people, although these people deserve it, so let him stay in this place and protect his dead parents, brothers and sisters.

Jiang Zeqin exhaled and looked out the door, it was still the same yellow sand, sparse vegetation, and dilapidated buildings.

"No, these people are going to die, but if you do it, it can be regarded as a bandit. Zhan Chu looked at him with a smile, this person must have experienced something to make such a big change in mind, but he still believed in his vision, "Anyway, you have nowhere to go, why don't you go to the barracks with me, see that you are also a scholar." ”

Jiang Zeqin's eyes didn't matter, now that he was alone, he could do anything, "Yes, I am studying under my father." ”

……

On the other side, Gu Xiaoxiao was wearing a mask, the wind and sand were a little big, and the sand still hurt a little on her face.

Zhan Yan also changed into ordinary black clothes. There is no pattern at all, Gu Xiaoxiao looks quite uncomfortable.

There are not many people in the town, Gu Xiaoxiao looked at an old lady carrying a basket, covered with a blue floral cloth, with a white headscarf on her head, her face was full of ravines, the traces of time, and her skin was dry like a whole piece of dried orange peel.

There was also yellow dirt in the fingernails. His clothes were patched in several places, his eyes were cloudy, and he accidentally stepped on a piece of hard mud, and he was about to fall down if he stumbled.

Zhan Yan went over to help her, but the cloth on the basket fell off, and the basket contained fragrant wax money paper.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care, maybe she had just worshiped God.

The old lady didn't thank them, her cloudy eyes rolled a few times, and she looked at them, "Strangers, outsiders are not welcome here." Then she shut up when she saw the oncoming man and said, "Iniquity." He pushed them away and walked away.

It may be that he broke his foot, and he didn't walk very well, so when he got to the street, he opened the door and went in. Gu Xiaoxiao looked at what the name of the store was Lin in the past. It didn't matter.

"This grandma is so weird. Gu Xiaoxiao took off her veil, I don't know why, when I arrived in this town, I couldn't see the lack of water, there were not many trees, but there were many crops and they were growing very well. Obviously, all the way through, it was all desolate, but when I arrived in this town, it was different, and the sand that hurt on my face was gone.

Here, too, there is only one inn, not an inn, it is a restaurant, it is very well repaired, and the price is very cheap, only ten cents a night, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in surprise. This price is a bit unreasonable to appear in this hotel.

But then I heard that it was built by the largest family in the town.

Gu Xiaoxiao and they booked a room for a week.

There are not many people living in the restaurant, it can be said that there are none, and there are only two of them and two other people in the huge restaurant, which looks like a pair of brothers.

The eldest should be the elder brother, about thirty years old, a little rich, fleshy chin and belly, and the clothes he wears are either rich or expensive, I heard that he came here to do business.

The young ones are twenty-three or four, but they are thin and bamboo-like, and they all rely on thick clothes to support a not very strong body. yawned listlessly, and was trained by the fat brother's ears.

The reason why they are brothers is because their faces are very similar, even if one of them is blessed, they can see it.

The shopkeeper here is really enthusiastic, "We don't dare to say that we have food here, but the housing must be the cheapest, the longer you live, the cheaper it is, you see that it costs ten yuan a day, but we only need two hundred yuan a month." You might as well play for a few more days, there are many landscapes here. ”

Gu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, she had never seen anyone who did this kind of business, and she had to die at a loss.

"No, just a week. Zhan Yan's statement to them is that the travelers who come here to play for a few days, the two of them are brother and sister, without father and mother, walking around.

"Alas, okay, little two, take them upstairs. Childe, this is your concierge number, if you are not satisfied, you can come down and change it at any time, anyway, there are many empty rooms. The shopkeeper took the money and crackled and dialed the abacus. against the account.

The rooms are very clean, but also the smell of sunshine, open the window to see the scenery of the town, they are on the third floor, you can see the chickens next door to peck rice to eat. There was also a big yellow dog, bolted to the outside of the stove, licking the contents of the broken bowl for a while.

After watching it for a while, Gu Xiaoxiao closed the window, it was too bright, and she wanted to sleep for a while.

It seems that when she comes here, her rhythm slows down and she becomes a little lazy and careless.

It was the atmosphere here that made her deliberately slow down all her movements, that is, to take her time.

Gu Xiaoxiao lay on her back on the bed, closed her eyes after a while, but she couldn't sleep all the time, and she was in a daze, so she just didn't let her sleep.

I didn't sit up and read a book for half an hour.

Evening is a good time, whether it's stealing chickens and dogs or probing the enemy in the dark and windy night.

Gu Xiaoxiao wrapped herself tightly, only showing her eyes, waiting for Zhan Yan to come to her.

"Not a single one. "Walking down the street, it's frighteningly empty, and the lights aren't on. Gu Xiaoxiao pulled Zhan Yan's sleeve and frowned.

"Don't dare to go out. Look where we're going?" Zhan Yan stopped and asked her, just like Yang Liu was in the same situation as she was at the beginning.

"Over there, I guess it's a mass grave or a cemetery. Gu Xiaoxiao pointed to the west with certainty.

It was dark and dark.

Rustling, Gu Xiaoxiao's feet stepped on the dead leaves, and suddenly Gu Xiaoxiao stepped on a branch.

Crunch......
