Chapter 30: Wood River Town 2
At night, in Muhe Town, as more and more people have disappeared recently, someone has found a corpse by the river, which has made the whole town panic.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in. "The low, hoarse voice is particularly unpleasant.
The door crept open, and a figure flashed in.
"What to do, Gaya found out, I accidentally killed him. "In the dark night, there are no lights, and the figures start to speak in a suppressed cry.
"Don't say stupid things, there's no way to do it, we don't want to see it, you didn't mean to, stop blaming yourself. ”
A hoarse voice persuaded.
Through the moonlight through the crack in the door, you can vaguely see two figures hugging each other.
In Muhe Town at noon, the warm sunshine dispelled the uneasy atmosphere during this time. People still have to continue to live, relying on the Lante River, the aquatic products are abundant, and the life of Muhe Town is quite rich.
The Lante River is a large and wide river that flows farther through the city of Siwa and the town of Muhe.
The river in Wood River Town is only a branch of the Lante River, but the water surface is also endless, extremely wide, and feeds countless people and creatures.
Dada!
Dada!
On a small road, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.
"If you go all the way down this road, you will see the town of Muhe. ”
Holren stretched out his hand, pointed ahead, and said to Anria.
"When we get there, we first look for relevant insiders, preferably witnesses, or find the mayor to ask about the specific situation. ”
"That's right, although there is plenty of time, but try to solve it in the shortest possible time. Anriya agreed.
"That's what I thought, too. ”
The sound of horses' hooves faded away.
On the riverbank, Gable looked at the calm water with some absent-mindedness. I have a weak hand to clean up the fish.
Freshly caught fish need to be sorted according to different prices and fish characteristics to know which ones can be sold for a good price, and which ones can be kept for themselves or salted.
He has been doing this job for many years, and most of the people in this town are fishermen, and by this river, they can be fed, so why not be a fisherman?
Only a few people aspire to go outside, to be a businessman, or to study in the city.
Gable never thought about these things, as long as he could eat enough, his idea was simple.
I kept repeating this somewhat boring task, and without paying attention, I placed the different fish in the wrong barrel.
"Damn, can't think about it anymore, concentrate. He shook his head vigorously, concentrating on resorting the misplaced fish.
"Is this Muhe Town?"
The sudden question startled him, "Who are you? This is indeed Muhe Town." ”
Looking at the dress and the sword that a man was carrying behind his back, this made Gable subconsciously feel a little flustered.
This is someone who can't be messed with.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" he asked, whimsically.
Huo Lun took the horse forward and said with a smile: "We are from Siwa City, and we are here to investigate some things, and I hope you can tell us what you know." ”
"It won't hurt you, don't worry. ”
He and Anriya did not stop, and rushed to Muhe Town in the afternoon, deciding to find a breakthrough first.
"Glad to help, sir. ”
It didn't disturb the others, as long as Gable was alone in this area, the others were either a little farther away, and they could only see clearly that there were two people talking to Gable, but they couldn't hear what was being said.
Either that, or they've packed up and gone back to town.
"That's right, I heard that a fisherman has been missing recently, can you tell me about it?"
Holren stared at Gable's expression, and if he lied a little, he could see that something was wrong.
Gable was a little surprised: "Has the news reached the city?"
He thought for a moment and organized the language, "Since half a month ago, people will disappear every few days, the shortest is three days, and the longest is seven days. ”
"Nobody knows what happened, the missing people disappeared at different times, and they were never seen again. ”
Holren pondered for a moment and asked, "Has anyone seen their bodies?"
"No, no one has seen it, not even a corpse. Gable was a little depressed.
He remembered something, "By the way, just the day before yesterday, someone found a corpse, died a terrible death, someone pierced the throat. ”
He recalled the tragic situation of the corpse he had seen, and he was a little sick to his stomach, and he couldn't help but turn his head and retch.
Anriya had been listening, and when Gable recovered, she walked over and asked, "Is it the one who disappeared before?"
"No, Gaya is not missing, he has been well, just the day before yesterday, no one found him in the grass. ”
Gable's emotions gradually became a little excited, he looked at the couple of men and women in front of him, his emotions slowly calmed down, and he slowly lowered his head.
"Okay, we got it, thank you for the information. ”
Giving Anriya a look, the two walked along the road by the river, leading their horses slowly towards the town.
"He's not exactly telling the truth. ”
Holren corrected her, "He told the truth, but withheld a little information. ”
"Okay. ”
"Then let him go?"
Huo Lun shook his head, "Of course not, let's ask the others first to see what they know, and let's keep an eye on this person first." ”
Since this mission was taken by Horen, Anria trusted Horen as a member of the team who joined halfway.
In the absence of any clarity, this is certainly the safest way to do so.
Walking into the town, there are all kinds of aquatic products everywhere, and the residents are in the open space in front of the houses, holding bamboo poles and drying fishing nets.
The ground was cleaned, all kinds of fish products were dried, and there was a fishy smell floating in the air.
The two walked down the road, not caring about the smell, and the stranger's intrusion attracted the attention of some residents, and as they walked into a hotel, they stopped paying attention.
Two horses are left at the door, led by the innkeeper to the backyard to feed the fodder, and when they leave, they pay according to the length of stay.
There are not many people in the inn, and the merchants who come to Muhe Town to buy aquatic products are all supplied here, and the locals will not go to the hotel without having anything to eat.
"Two rooms, the best forage for the horses. ”
The innkeeper smiled: "Upstairs, please." ”
After following the innkeeper upstairs, decide on the room. The two decided to split up and gather some information in the town to analyze the information they had gathered.
Walking alone on the streets, this town was far less prosperous than Fallen Leaf Town, and he turned around and basically did not find any supernatural powers.
