Then, with a belt of three, with the three masters and servants of Mingyu Jin, they swept towards the city gate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, when I thought about it, the location of the small mountain village was a bit hidden and difficult to find, and Liangchen had only heard about it, and he didn't even know the specific location.

As soon as Yi Tian paused slightly, he stopped the figure of leading the three of them towards the city gate, and instead turned around and swept towards Jing Zhaoyin.

In addition to being in charge of the security of the capital, Jing Zhaoyin is also in charge of the affairs of the counties and villages within a hundred miles outside the capital.

At this time, the New Year's Festival has passed, and it is naturally Jingzhao Yin Ling Xie Pingzhang who greeted Ming Yujin and others.

It's just that this time, Ming Yujin didn't dare to accept his courtesy, but shouted in a proper manner: "Uncle Xie." ”

This shout of "Uncle Xie" made Lord Xie flattered, and he didn't even dare to say it.

Even if he knew that the county lord of Anping had a very good relationship with his daughter, he couldn't bear this honorific title, and shouted that his dignity was different, and the etiquette could not be abolished.

And where can Ming Yujin do what he wants, since he is Lan Xuan's sister's father, he naturally has to be respectful, anyway, he can't bear those false courtesies.

But looking at Lord Xie's cautious appearance, I don't know if I will faint after a few days and know that I am going to be on the throne of Lord Taishan, the prince of the King of Freedom?

Leave these thoughts behind and directly explain the intention.

It's just that Xie Pingzhang has too many official duties on weekdays, where can he know so clearly, especially during the festival, the situation in the capital is frequent, so naturally he can't spare so much energy to pay attention to the affairs of that small mountain village.

Fortunately, there are still people who know that this person is Jing Zhao Yin, who is usually responsible for sending and receiving documents.

I learned from the Jingzhao Yin Shuling Office that there was indeed a record of this incident on the official document submitted by the county government to which the mountain village belonged, and the detailed address and path were recorded.

After verifying that the matter was correct and had a detailed address, Ming Yujin said goodbye to Master Xie, and the group of four flew away again.

Jing Zhao Yin Shuling stared at the direction of the few people for a long time, and then looked at his own government commander suspiciously, "My lord, this is the ...... of the county lord of Anping."

Xie Pingzhang originally looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and when he heard the question of his subordinates, he brushed his beautiful sideburns with a really interesting smile, and muttered: "This Anping County Lord is a wonderful person." ”

is full of cunning and cunning, where is there still a cautious appearance, so Ming Yujin also has a time to look away.

looked at the subordinates who were still waiting for his puzzle to be solved, put away his smile and scolded: "The matter of the county lord of Anping, how can you and I be allowed to put your beak, you can clearly understand the household registration source of those women, girls and children, how much time has passed, and it is about to be the day of burial, if this thing is not done well, the black gauze hat on your top can be returned to the saint!"

After that, he threw down a bitter gourd-faced book, waved his robe and strode towards the court.

And the four of Ming Yujin, after an hour of flying, also came to the small mountain village where strange things are frequent, Taoxi Village, at this time, it will be past noon.

A few people were not in a hurry to enter, so they stood on the small hillside not far away and lowered their heads to look at the place called Taoxi Village in front of them.

At this time of daylight, from a distance, the village that should be full of life seems very desolate, depressing, and deadly silent.

Ming Yujin used his mental power to perceive that the people in the entire village, whether old or young, were in a bad mental state, and in one word, that is, people's hearts were panicked.

Naturally, she also found out where the young man Liangchen and the others wanted to save was, it was a stone house made of stones, very simple, it looked like it was built temporarily, and there was no sign of binding on him, but he honestly stayed in the stone house and did not escape, it was indeed a resolute look of death.

However, if what he has detected is good, this young man is just an ordinary person, how can it be related to frequent fires?

Seeing this, Ming Yujin decided to leave him alone for the time being, and find out the abnormality of this village first.

At first glance, many houses in the village have traces of being burned, and a large number of houses have been burned down, leaving only a black scorched land.

Not far from Taoxi Village is a small stream, which encircles half of Taoxi Village.

It is not surprising that people have lived along the water since ancient times.

What surprised Ming Yujin and the others was that the water of the stream was actually red, and it was bubbling with bubbles and mist, and at this time, there were still a few old women pounding clothes with pestles by the river, as if they were accustomed to it.

"Go check it out. ”

Unable to detect the abnormality with his mental power, Ming Yujin commanded.

When the four of them arrived at the stream, without waiting for Liangchen Yueqing to stop them, Ming Yujin leaned down and reached out into the water, which turned out to be ice?

And the water ability in the body does not fluctuate, indicating that there is no toxin in the water, look at a few old women not far away, too, can the poisonous people still wash and pound their clothes here?

I secretly sighed that I thought too much, but this water is really red and weird.

Yitian on the side also squatted down, probed the water with his hands, and put the water under his nose to sniff.

"Yitian, what can you see?"

This time, Zi Yitian was also puzzled, and when he heard Ming Yujin's question, he raised his eyebrows and shook his head to show that he didn't know.

Yitian didn't know, Yiming Yujin's head was naturally racking his brains and couldn't think of a reason, so he took Liangchen Yueqing and the two of them to the location of the old laundry women, wanting to see if they could ask something from the villagers.

And Yitian has long since disappeared.

"Auntie. ”

Liangchen's soft call interrupted the movement of a plainly dressed, weather-covered old woman pounding laundry.

Hearing the sound, she looked up and saw three little girls who were as beautiful as flowers, and the old woman wondered in her heart, whose little lady was this, how could she come to their village?

Thinking in his heart, he asked, "How many little ladies are?"

"Auntie, the three of us sisters came to Shuangxi Village to look for relatives, but we just entered the village and found that the relative's house was burned a few days ago, and there were no people, so I wanted to ask Auntie about one or two. Liangchen had a little sadness on his face, a little low, and a little frustration.

Ming Yujin looked at it, this is also a movie queen, but she has to follow the same example, and her eyebrows and eyes droop.

I have to say that it is also done in a similar way.

Yueqing doesn't need to change anything, just keep a straight face.

When the eldest lady heard that she was looking for someone, she raised her hand and wiped the water stains on her hands on the corner of her clothes, and motioned for Ming Yujin and the three of them to sit down on the rocks on the side, Fang Chang sighed and said, "Which family are you looking for?"

"The surname is He, the name is the sea, and he can do some carpentry work. It is a distant relative of our family, and we have not been in touch for a long time, but we heard the news that their family was all killed. Liangchen pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes and replied.

This He Dahai's family naturally had a record in the official document, and it happened to be borrowed by Liangchen.

When the eldest lady heard this, she stretched out her calloused hand, patted Liangchen's shoulder and comforted: "It turns out that you are a relative of the He family, little lady, don't be too sad." ”

"Auntie, do you know how this disaster happened? Now that we know the ins and outs, our sisters can go back and have an explanation with our parents. Liangchen nodded and said sadly.

The eldest lady sighed heavily when she heard this, and slowly recounted what had happened in Taoxi Village in the past month or so in an old voice.

"This has to start more than a month ago, more than a month ago, ......"

Ming Yujin naturally didn't want to listen to the eldest lady tell her about the things she already knew, but wanted to use the eldest mother's memories to see if there were any omissions or places that people didn't notice.

From the memory of the eldest mother, Ming Yujin found something strange.

First of all, the strange fire in this village first appeared in the grove not far from Taoxi Village, and then appeared in the village, and since it appeared, it has been burning one after another.

Even soggy laundry that has just been washed and hung to dry can catch fire on its own.

Especially when the people in the village discovered the strangeness of this fire and took precautions, the mysterious strange fire seemed to appear as if it had a spirit, and it was even more crazy.

Today the east of the village, tomorrow the west of the village, the day after tomorrow is the south of the village and the north of the village, in short, the whole Taoxi Village, almost every day there are large and small fires, the most strange thing is that the fires are all sudden, yes, so that the villagers are even more tired, can not be rescued.

What's more, many fires broke out at night, and when they broke out, they were so monstrous that the people in the house had no time to escape and were buried in the flames.

And from then on, this strange fire was like a ghost fire, spreading everywhere, entangled in Taoxi Village, and could not be extinguished.

There are constant fires in people's homes, and people who can't escape are killed every few days, and the fear of death is infinitely shrouded in the hearts of Taoxi Village, making people panic all day.

Seeing this, the people in the village who had a place to go packed up their baggage and went to their relatives, and those who had nowhere to go could only stick to Taoxi Village and explore everywhere, hoping to find out the reason and return a peace to Taoxi Village.

After all, my ancestors have lived here for generations, and they are naturally unwilling to abandon their hometown unless they have to.

Those who stayed behind went around fighting fires while looking for the cause.

Soon, a young man surnamed Wen appeared in the sight of the villagers, and some careful villagers found that as long as this young man stayed for a long time, there would be a fire within an hour after he left.

Everyone also found out that the adoptive parents of the young man surnamed Wen were the first to suffer, and what was even more bizarre was that he lived under the same roof, and the adoptive parents were buried in the fire after the fire.

At that time, the strange fires were not so frequent, so the villagers didn't think much about it, they just thought that the young man was lucky and escaped.

Once there is doubt, it naturally subverts the previous idea.

Some people think that the reason why this young man is not burned by the fire must be due to some reason for this strange fire, maybe this young man inadvertently angered the fire evil god, and the fire evil god came to retaliate!

There is a way that three people become tigers, and there are many people who doubt it, so the result will naturally be out of control.

Since then, the villagers have decided that this fire must have started because of this young man, and this young man must have something strange about him, so that the fire evil god could not get close, so he angered others.

And the young man Lang Xu also discovered his weirdness, because when the villagers wanted to tie him up to sacrifice to the fire evil god, he didn't do any struggle, just tied his hands.

Ming Yujin frowned slightly, but asked another question that was circling in her heart to the eldest lady who had finished speaking, "Auntie, has the river in Taoxi Village always been so red, why are there bubbles and fog?"
