Chapter 456: You have no jokes
The army of more than 100 people was originally some strong men, and they usually ate a lot, so they were definitely not afraid that the villagers would send more food.
So during that time, whether it was the villagers or the army, it was a very pleasant time to cooperate.
But after a long time, people gradually discovered a problem, there is a distance of two kilometers between this mountain villa and the bottomless pit, and it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources every day, and it is completely unaffordable.
Later, after consultation between the village chief and the military advisor, it was decided to send some food in a centralized manner every Monday.
In this way, a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved.
After the discussion, every Monday at 9 o'clock, a large number of villagers would drag a wagon to the side of the cave and pile a cart of grain at the entrance of the cave.
Because the training time of the local army is inconsistent, when we once discussed, the military advisor said that if there were no officers and soldiers standing in the cave when they came to the cave, then they could pile up the grain at the door, and as for the price of the grain, they would be paid every other month, and there would be no arrears.
In the beginning, everything was smooth, and even the army lived here for half a year, and did not find any unpleasantness.
Until July 5 of that year.
A very strange thing happened that changed the whole thing.
On this day, the village chief and a few young men packed and sorted all the vegetables and grain handed over by the villagers and stacked them on the carriage.
The village chief hadn't seen the army for about half a year.
Originally, the delivery of food on Monday was carried out by the young people of the village, but the village chief felt that it would be a little unreasonable if he didn't show up when he was old, so this time he decided to come to the cave with the young people, and if there was hope, he would be able to say hello to these soldiers.
After doing all this, a total of eight horses were pulled that day, and four carts loaded with more than 400 catties of grain.
In this way, the village chief and the five young men drove the carriage towards the cave from about 8 o'clock in the morning.
Two kilometers is not a long distance, and if you go faster by horse-drawn carriage, it may only take ten or twenty minutes to get there.
Due to the heavy grain on the wagon, the speed may be sold a little here, but it will only take half an hour at most, but when the village chief came to the entrance of the cave, he found that there was no one in the cave.
Seeing this, the village chief was not in a hurry, because the person in charge had said that the army should be trained, and it was probably not in the cave, and when he came to the cave, if he found that there was no one, he could just put the food next to the cave.
It's just that the village chief was a little regretful, he originally came from afar to meet this military advisor, but he didn't expect the timing to be unlucky, and he didn't even see a figure when he came.
The village chief deliberately looked at the footprints next to the cave, but found that there were no footprints around at all.
At that time, the village chief did not wake up, until those soldiers wanted to find a hidden place when they were training, so they deliberately disposed of their footprints every time they walked.
So the village chief could only pull the empty carriage, bow his head, and return to his village listlessly.
On the Monday of the following week, the village chief decided to meet the advisor himself next to the cave once.
In fact, the village chief is so anxious, he also has his own abacus, because the fruits in the village have come down recently, and the villagers in the village are not used to eating them at all, so the village chief wants to sell these fruits to this army.
There is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, and the village chief has been looking for these soldiers again and again, but he just wants to make a deal, which is understandable.
But this time, when the village chief came to the entrance of the cave, he could be regarded as having noticed that something was wrong.
Because the village chief found that the grain that had been stacked at the entrance of the entire cave was restored and left in its original place.
You know, the army said that it would deliver food once a week, and there was a reason.
The army's consumption of food and grass is very large, especially during training, and a lot of food is needed, so basically a truckload of food is almost consumed in less than a week.
And now, in terms of time, this batch of grain has not moved at all, and it stands to reason that those armies have long been gone.
What is even more annoying is that some of the vegetables in it, because they have been piled up here for a week, have long been rotten and inedible, and the village chief felt very strange when he saw this, so he dared to enter the cave and find out.
It turned out that in this cave, many army supplies were piled up in the cave, which shows that they did not go far.
But when I came to the area around the cave and checked it, I found that I couldn't find the shadow of this army at all, and I really couldn't figure out how these hundred people disappeared without a trace?
The village chief attached great importance to this matter, and immediately ordered all the villagers to conduct an inventory around this cave, in fact, the village chief had a selfish psychology at that time, it didn't matter whether he could find these troops, the important thing was that the army still had a lot of money that had not been paid, and if it was destroyed by the other party, the contract would run away like this, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
The villagers conducted a carpet search in the village, and many people said that the soldiers had already run into the depths of the cave, so they sent many young men to search for it.
Soon after, I discovered that something strange happened, as soon as I entered the depths of the cave, I heard the sound of a man crying in the depths, and the sound was very miserable, like hundreds of people falling into hell, constantly wailing.
Although the young and strong young man was bold, he would also be afraid of this situation, so he withdrew one after another, and no one wanted to enter the cave again.
The village chief was anxious, so he began to check at the intersection of this cave, only to find that some valuable things in this cave had long disappeared without a trace, and all that remained in the cave were some old armor.
Perhaps from the perspective of history and antiques, these armors are still expensive, but at the time, they were just ordinary clothes, and they were worthless.
From that day on, the village chief asked the whole village to conduct a comprehensive inspection, but no matter how they searched, they could not find the 100 missing people.
And the strange thing, not only that, after the inspection, in addition to the hundred people who disappeared inexplicably, three incomprehensible things appeared around the cave at the same time.
