Chapter 11: Ruthless and Merciful

While waiting for Lao Wang to get food, Mo Qinglan walked around the village casually, which made her heart a little heavy.

The whole Chuzhuang was burned by the fire, leaving only a few ruined houses, everyone burned to charcoal and did not distinguish their faces, and the Zhuang Luo, which was still full of vitality yesterday, became a terrified dead village in the blink of an eye.

Mo Qinglan casually examined several charred corpses that were still intact, and found that their bones all had marks of sharp sword cuts, and it was clear that they had died or at least been seriously injured before they were burned by the fire.

And before she left, these people were fine.

What kind of person is so vicious that he actually slaughters these innocent people? Mo Qinglan was secretly happy in her heart, and at this time, Lao Wang's call sounded outside, she got up and patted the black ash on her hand and walked out.

When Lao Wang saw her come out of an abandoned house, he first shook it and then his eyes turned red, and he put the steamed bun and a bowl of water in his hand on a smooth stone.

Mo Qinglan walked over and reached out to stuff the steamed bun into his mouth, ate a few bites, stopped the steamed bun in his hand and asked vaguely, "What's going on?" ”

In fact, she shouldn't ask, the current situation is very favorable to her, these people are all dead, which means that the traces of her appearance here will disappear together, as long as she is careful enough, it will be difficult for Ye Shuangqian to find out.

She even had the idea of destroying Lao Wang and Dr. Zhang just now, but when she saw Lao Wang's sad and mournful face, the words had already been subconsciously spoken.

Lao Wang, who was anxious to vent after a night of pain, heard Mo Qinglan's question, where did he think that he had just turned around the ghost gate, and the words in his mouth flowed down before the muddy tears flowed, and he choked up:

"After you left last night, a group of gangsters in black came over and forced the big guy to go to the island overnight to catch snakes, and after receiving the snakes, they began to kill people and burn houses. Dr. Zhang went out to pick herbs and survived, and I escaped by hiding in the vat at the entrance of the village. There are dozens of families in Chuzhuang, we have always done our duty and have never made enemies with anyone, what kind of sin has this created......"

Lao Wang said and sat on the ground with his knees limp and collapsed, the black dust splashed by tears fluttered, and he was unwilling to return to dust after a few laps with the wind on the ground.

Mo Qinglan slowly chewed the steamed bun in his mouth, and his calm head started to work quickly.

"When you arrived at the inn, you saw the four of us, but what else did you find?"

"No, Dr. Zhang and I saw a bunch of dead snakes and a few big knives burned by then."

"You just caught the snake that besieged us last night?" Mo Qinglan asked, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Exactly, because the emperor sent troops to surround Snake Island, the people in Zhuangli didn't go up to catch snakes for a few days, and the more than 100 snakes were just caught last night. Those who are killed by heaven will only be given half a stick of incense, otherwise they will kill the old and young women and children in the village. Many people in the village were bitten to death by poisonous snakes because the night was too dark, and they couldn't even come down to Snake Island. They finally gave them all the amount they wanted, but in the end, in the end, they ......"

The old king choked up and couldn't go on, he froze on the ground, his eyes were old and confused, and the old tears were all over them, but they were all killed, and even their homes were destroyed.

Why is this world so unreasonable......

But many things in the world are unreasonable, and a lifetime of peace cannot avoid natural and man-made disasters.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like the improvised decision of the group of men in black, forcing the villagers to catch snakes in a hurry, destroy corpses, and kill people in the inn. It takes time to train for control. In such a short period of time, it is impossible for the man in black to train the snake to kill, and it can only be effective with drug control.

And what about the piccolo she heard?

Ye Shuang is ruthless, but no one in the world has ever seen the innocent face, so even if she is targeted, she will not affect the people of the village. It can only be said that she was just accidentally involved in this incident.

If it was her own inference last night, today coupled with Lao Wang's rhetoric, she is even more sure that her whereabouts have not been exposed.

What is the origin of those two people, they actually provoked each other to dare to kill each other in Yeyang's country.

It's just irrelevant people. It's better to take care of yourself first.

"This snake island has been sealed for the past few days?" Mo Qinglan sorted out his mood and frowned slightly.

Lao Wang nodded, and told in detail what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and for some reason looked at the woman in front of him who was as calm as a mountain and unfazed, and his heart was inexplicably relieved.

"Are you sure there are no other strangers in the village except us these days?" Mo Qinglan asked again.

"No, none of the people who bought the snake except for the two lying inside." Lao Wang shook his head firmly, meaning something.

"Go and report to the police." Mo Qinglan said, his calm face covering all his thoughts. Although she knew that it was useless to report to the official, she could get some pension, which was one of the policies she had formulated for Ye Shuangqian to appease the people.

Mo Qinglan had a hunch that Qin Qian was still in Snake Island, and this intuition made her feel uneasy, and now it was imperative to hurry up to Snake Island to find Qin Qian.

Because of its special and remote terrain, the nearest government has to walk for half a day. A few people in the house didn't seem to be able to wake up for half a day, so everyone might as well go their own way, and it wouldn't be a delay for half a day.

Thinking of this, she picked up the steamed bun again and put it in her mouth, picked up a bag full of snake repellent and planned to go on the road.

"Girl, there are a lot of poisonous snakes on Snake Island, so let's take a sickle to defend yourself." Old Wang's voice sounded behind her.

She didn't pick it up. The two had never known each other, and Lao Wang's concern for the safety of her as a stranger touched her heart, but it was only that.

"I've been looking for a long time, and this scythe is still good. Girl, be careful, your friends will need you to take care of them. ”

The other party's indifferent eyes made Lao Wang a little afraid, but he still stepped forward and stuffed the sickle into Mo Qinglan's hand, and when he said the word friend, he seemed to think of the more than 100 villagers who died innocently, and his eyes were stained with tears again.

They are not my friends. Mo Qinglan said in her heart, but Lao Wang's words reminded her that when the government came to investigate the case, she would likely be exposed when she went to the island during the closure of Yehuang Island.

"I will investigate this group of men in black, and for the sake of convenience, the government will not mention me when you are asked to explain the situation."

The hope of revenge suddenly ignited in Lao Wang's eyes was like a crazy jumping flame, as if he was afraid that Mo Qinglan would regret it, so he hurriedly nodded heavily. Mo Qinglan shook the sickle in her hand, her eyes drooped slightly, and the expedient measure was also the best way she could come up with both.

Is it really a perfunctory remark to prevaricate the old king? Only Mo Qinglan knows best in his heart.

In the warm light of spring, the woman who strode away walked calmly, her black hair fluttering in the wind, her clothes fluttering, and the clear and dashing scenery became a sharp contrast with the devastated and decadent scenery.

"Condolences."

The faint voice escaped lightly, and quickly disappeared into the air with the wind.

Lao Wang stood there as if he was stupid, and then covered his face and cried.
