Chapter 233: Investigation
At this time, Li Le had already taken Liuzhu out of the city together.
She rode a fast horse and quickly reached the aqueduct outside the city.
The canal looked so clear that it shimmered in the sunlight and shimmered with a beautiful dazzling light, and they stood on the edge and could see some colorful gravel lying at the bottom of the canal.
"This canal looks very clear, and there is nothing out of the ordinary."
Liuzhu squatted on the edge of the canal like this, and after taking a closer look at the situation of the canal, he made such a judgment.
Probably in her impression, if something really went wrong with this canal, it should be polluted, and if it was, it would naturally be impossible to keep it in such a clear state.
So as she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch the water in the canal, but she didn't expect that at that moment, Li Le suddenly shouted: "Wait! Don't act rashly! ”
Liuzhu didn't expect Li Le to suddenly scold, which really startled her, she was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Li Le a little strangely: "What's wrong?" Did you find something? ”
Li Le's expression looked very solemn, she glanced at Liuzhu deeply, and pursed her lips: "If there is really no problem with this canal, it is impossible that there is no vitality at all." ”
"What do you mean......"
Liuzhu also seemed to notice something, and her face suddenly became a little difficult to look at, and she turned her head to look at the canal carefully.
It seemed that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
"Doesn't it seem strange that this canal leads down the mountain, and after such a long distance, there can't be no fish, and there can't be no flowers and plants around it?"
After Li Le said this, Liuzhu suddenly reacted: "Yes, Miss, if it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have reacted." ”
"It seems that there is indeed a lot of article here."
After Li Le's eyes looked at this canal for a long time, he fixed his mind, looked left and right at the surrounding environment, and suddenly focused all his attention on a small village not far away.
This canal comes down exactly from the hill and flows through this small village.
If you're looking for it, you might find a clue there.
So she stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”
"Okay." Liuzhu nodded, and turned around and walked towards the village with Li Le.
I don't know why, the closer she got to that village, the stronger the uneasy feeling in her heart became, and when she finally walked outside the village, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
He stretched out his hand and stopped the beads.
"Do you smell a smell?"
Liuzhu was stunned for a moment, obviously not yet reacting: "What are you talking about?" ”
Li Le condensed, and after his vigilant gaze swept over the surface of this village, the two slender willow eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle: "It's a very strong smell of blood......
Having come to this conclusion, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately took a step, and hurried into the village.
"Miss?"
Liuzhu was a little surprised by Li Le's reaction, seeing that Li Le walked in briskly like this, she could only follow hard.
After entering the village, Liuzhu immediately smelled the disgusting smell of blood, the rich and pungent smell kept hitting her face, like a strong opponent, constantly hitting herself in front of herself, she had no strength to resist at all, she could only let her stomach turn over and feel uncomfortable.
Liuzhu frowned and glanced at Li Le, judging from her face, she was probably not very comfortable.
Soon they met a man.
A man who fell to the ground with a pool of blood lying underneath him.
She hurried over to check and found that the man was dead, with a slash in the neck, blood gushing from the wound and falling to the ground and fainting.
It looked like the man was just an ordinary woodcutter.
Liuzhu leaned closer: "How's it going?" ”
Li Le's hand fell on the tip of the woodcutter's nose, and after probing his snort, he shook his head gently and said, "No, it's hopeless." ”
"How did he die?"
"It looks like this person should be a killer, this wound is very neat, crisp and neat, ordinary people will not have such kung fu."
Li Le twisted his eyebrows, after analyzing the cause of the woodcutter's death, he always had a feeling that he was shrouded in a huge conspiracy.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she immediately stood up, and looked at the path that zigzagged under her feet into the deeper part of the village, and looked ugly: "If it is really what I suspected, then the whole village ......."
You can't go wrong.
She could feel it when she first arrived at the entrance of the village, and this strong smell of blood could never be brought about by a person's death.
Her heart was beating non-stop.
As she progressed, the sights she saw kept validating what she was thinking.
The little girl with a flower in her hand, the woman with the bamboo basket on her back, and the old man who was driving the cattle all collapsed on the path, and the fatal wounds on their bodies were the same as those of the woodcutter who had first discovered, indicating that they must have been killed by the same person or the same group of assassins.
After walking around the village for most of the time, she found that all the people in it had been slaughtered.
Liuzhu, who finally caught up from behind, turned her whole face as pale as paper, her pupils were slightly open, and there was a panic in her that she didn't know what to do, it seemed that the scene in front of her was really appalling to her, and she couldn't believe it: "Miss, who killed these people, why did they do this?" ”
"There must be a purpose behind everything, but we don't know what the mastermind behind this thing wants to do."
Li Le lowered his eyes, and in those half-closed eyes, the light was sharp: "But I don't think this matter is so simple, they killed these people before us, they definitely didn't want us to know some truths." ”
As for what these truths are, it is not known for the time being.
At this time, the master and servant were pursing their lips and pondering, when suddenly, Yushu felt a strange sensation at his feet, looked down, and found that a hand was grabbing his ankle.
She turned pale with fright.
Liuzhu subconsciously rushed over and kicked that hand away.
She directly blocked in front of Li Le: "Miss be careful. ”
Li Le nodded, relieved.
The two of them looked at each other, and it turned out to be one of the villagers who fell in a pool of blood, and he grabbed Li Le with the last strength of his body, and could only barely make a weak voice in his throat: "Save me......"
But he didn't wait for Li Le's rescue, so he couldn't swallow his breath a little, and fell directly to the ground and died.
At this time, Cangfeng, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally appeared, he hurriedly came forward to check the situation of the villager, glanced back at Li Le, and shook his head gently, which meant that he was not saved.
However, the villager is not dead, which is surprising.
"Let's see if there's any living in here, maybe we can get some information out of it." Li Le commanded.
Cang Feng nodded, walked around the area, and after carefully checking the situation of these people, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he hurriedly turned around and came back to tell Li Le.
"These people all died within a stick of incense, and it doesn't look like it happened for long."
Counting the time, it must have been around the time they arrived at the aqueduct to check it out, and at that time they were seriously analyzing the matter about the aqueduct, and they had no idea that the village not far from them was experiencing a massacre.
"It seems that the people behind this scene are trying to hide something." Li Le snorted coldly: "In order to achieve their goal, they are really unscrupulous. ”
An entire village was slaughtered, what a vicious and dark heart!
She looked at the land in front of her, the corpses of the villagers fell in front of her eyes, the blood pooled into a river, and clenched her fists: "We have to settle these villagers first, they are so innocent." I have to avenge the revenge of the people of this village. ”
At this time, Li Le was feeling angry for the people in this village, but Cang Feng was thinking about another thing.
"It's only been about a stick of incense since the villagers died, which means that the Assassins may still be buried in this area, and I am afraid that this place should not be long in this place. Miss, let's go back first, and then make plans for these villagers, I'm worried that something will happen. ”
Cangfeng's instincts have always been accurate, and he always feels as if a pair of eyes are staring directly at them in the darkness, like a cheetah ready to catch food, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Liuzhu was also faintly worried: "Cangfeng is right, I always feel that this place is a little dangerous. ”
Li Le didn't think so, but seeing Cangfeng's expression was very solemn, she also knew that this matter was not trivial.
So she nodded: "Okay, then let's go back first, and then find someone to come over and help with the burial." ”
"Hmm."
Just as Cang Feng was about to escort Li Le back, suddenly several black shadows suddenly burst out of the nearby grass, surrounding them.
Cangfeng's heart couldn't help but rise.
Really!
What he feared had happened.
The dark shadows were all facing them with their bright weapons, and judging from the smell of blood on their bodies, they were probably the assassins who had slaughtered this village just now.
Before they could react, the black shadows could be regarded as acting quickly, and without saying a word, they raised their knives and slashed directly in the direction of Li Le.
At the same time, Mu Changjin also took Liu Chao to infiltrate Famen Temple.
