Chapter 236: The Burning Shuangxi Village (Part II)
Facts have proved that without Shao Jingyi's leadership, Bai Jingyin and Yuan Ruiming would not be able to find the legendary Shuangxi Village even if they broke their heads.
A year ago, I determined the direction by virtue of the memory of that time and the growth of the branches, I don't know how many ravines and bends I bypassed, and after walking for about half an hour,
I finally saw a village on the bank of the river in the distance.
"Is that it?"
Bai Jingyin pointed there and asked.
"Otherwise, what do you think you're seeing?"
Yuan Ruiming said sarcastically.
"I didn't ask you, what's the hurry." Bai Jingyin cut off. "But if these three of us strangers come at night, will they scare the villagers, don't be some bandits."
"Originally, I would have investigated first, if the villagers were safe, they could come over tomorrow and catch Ling Xiang off guard."
"Let's hope it's all right."
Bai Jingyin prayed silently in his heart, and was about to move forward, but saw Shao Jingyi suddenly stop.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you smell anything?"
"What...... What taste......"
Bai Jingyin took a deep breath, and at this moment, a gust of wind happened to rise, making the faint smell in the air suddenly become obvious.
After clearly asking about the smell that Shao Jingyi said, her eyebrows jumped,
My heart sank suddenly.
"It smells of charcoal."
Yuan Ruiming was silent for a moment and said.
"It won't be what I thought it would be." Bai Jingyin's voice was a little solemn, she bit her lower lip tightly, although she didn't want to believe it, but at this time, she smelled the smell of burning, he really couldn't think of what else was possible.
"You don't have to think too bad now, it's just the smell of coke, and you have to go over and see what is going on to know."
Shao Jingyi wanted to pat Bai Jingyin's shoulder,
But because of the existence of Yuan Ruiming, he can only give up.
With apprehension, the three of them walked together towards the small village where they had traveled.
I just saw the shadows in the moonlight. When they got closer, the three of them gasped, only to find that, just like the smell of burning in the air, the main village was charred black, and the houses, grass huts, and fences were burned in scattered pieces, which looked particularly terrible at night.
"Is this really Shuangxi Village?"
It rained heavily last night, and the path was even more muddy, and after a few steps, my shoes and socks were already covered with muddy water.
"It's here, there's no going wrong."
Shao Jingyi said with certainty, but it was precisely because he had been here once that he remembered the warm and harmonious picture in the village that day, and then compared it with the broken well and ruins in front of him, he felt a sense of gloom.
Yuan Ruiming also followed them to investigate everywhere, as the emperor of the Ninety-Five, he didn't mind at all now,
Touch the water in the car with your fingers and sniff it under your nose.
"Someone poured oil on all of them, and they used a lot of them. If it hadn't been for that rain, I'm afraid this place would have been burned to ashes, and even the village would not have looked like it. "Meta
Rui Ming looked at the black ox cart that was dripping with water and was burning, and said.
"Who else can do this kind of unconscionable thing, but Ling Xiang."
Bai Jingyin said hatefully,
"Let's go separately and look at the houses...... Maybe someone else might be able to say the same. ”
Although she also knew that it would be difficult to burn to this extent, and then there would be living people.
"You won't be scared alone." Looking at the eerie and terrifying appearance around him, Shao Jingyi really didn't feel at ease to let Bai Jingyin go alone.
"Okay." Yuan Ruiming agreed very happily, "There are exactly three roads, one for each of us, this village is not big, and we will meet here in a while." ”
So saying, he took the lead on the road to the west.
"It's okay, don't you know me, when have I ever been afraid of this." Bai Jingyin patted Shao Jingyi's shoulder to reassure him, and then chose the road in front of him, reflecting the moonlight, and walked forward.
That being said,
But when she passed through the first room, it was false to say that she was not afraid, after all, what kind of picture was behind the broken door, and whether it would be beyond her ability to bear, these were still unknown.
She reached out and said,
took a deep breath,
After doing enough mental construction, he gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.
The door was already fragile, and with this touch, the whole thing fell, and with a dull thud, dust flew up.
Yuan Ruiming was taken aback,
Pretending not to care on his face, he was always paying attention to Bai Jingyin's direction, and was about to go over immediately after hearing the movement.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem."
Then came a cough,
Only then did Yuan Ruiming feel at ease for the time being.
"It's okay."
He said loudly, his voice echoing through the empty village, and it seemed very ethereal.
"It's okay, it's just not very strong."
Bai Jingyin covered his nose while flashing dust, and also replied to Yuan Ruiming with a shout.
Although I was choked by the dust and coughed, I didn't know what the reason was, and the fear in my heart suddenly decreased a lot.
Approaching the house, the moonlight cast by the broken windows and ceiling was much brighter than expected.
Stepping over the fallen planks, she looked around and walked the rooms aside.
is completely different from the tragic picture she imagined,
"How could there be no one?"
She wondered.
I quickened my pace, and I found two more houses in a row, and it was like this. Although the severity of the burn is different, without exception, there is no figure in sight.
and he who lives to death is gone.
Is this a deserted village? Because of the disaster, has it been abandoned a long time ago?
But soon Bai Jingyin denied this conjecture by himself, if it was really a deserted village, then why did Ling Xiang bother to set fire to the village. But since there are people, where did they go, and they just disappeared out of thin air?
Or where was the prisoner gone.
Now there are only those who can answer these kinds of mysteries and provide clues, but only the ruins in front of them are left.
In the spirit of 'what is taken away will inevitably leave something behind.' 'The verdict, white
Jingyin decided to continue the search. A house not far away, far from the entrance of the village, and there are not many trees nearby, it is the most original house along the way.
Push the door in,
There was a squeak.
It is indeed the same as the appearance, from the table and chairs to the stove used for cooking, you can still see the original appearance of this room.
It's just that it seems that there has been no fire cooking for a long time, and the lid of the pot is covered with a layer of cobwebs, and the rice bowl is even cleaner, storing several pieces of white solid of different sizes.
Bai Jingyin took a closer look and sniffed,
It's not within the scope of her knowledge.
In the dimly lit room, I walked around and suddenly stepped on something soft under my feet. Bai Jingyin's hairs immediately tied up.
