Chapter 64: Clues
"Is Mount Blackwood near Blackwood Village?" Zheng Liwan then asked.
"The girl is right, Kuroki Village is named after the Kuroki of Kuroki Mountain. The village is only five miles from the mountain. The owner explained.
"What does that mean?" Situ Changfeng asked puzzled.
"Xiao Langjun is talking about Kuroki, right? This is a special product of the local village, it is very hard, and the trees are straight, and several nearby towns like to buy it to make hoes, flat poles, and durable. The owner explained.
"Thank you, boss!" Situ Changfeng let go of his soft little hand, arched his hand, and then the two left.
"I didn't expect good news to appear from the first person, Situ, do you think the last news is reliable?" Zheng Liwan asked gently.
"There shouldn't be a mistake, there can't be too many groups of people in black near Luoyang, this group of people is too coincidental." Situ Changfeng replied.
"Yes, it was a coincidence that as soon as they appeared nearby, the village was completely destroyed. Do we continue to ask? Zheng Liwan agreed.
"Just ask, see if there are any witnesses, or other rumors." Situ Changfeng thought for a while.
Then the good luck of the two seems to have run out, and there are various legends, some say that someone in the village went crazy and killed the whole village; This is obviously impossible, how can ordinary villagers have that strength, and others cannot have no backhand.
Others said it was the plague, so the villagers all committed suicide; Of course, there are all kinds of ghosts and gods.
Half an hour passed, from the street to the end of the street, not only did they not feel tired, but they felt a kind of joy in their hearts, and they had a feeling of going on all the time.
"Sister Zheng, Situ!" Gongsun Feiyan and Bai San walked over from the side and greeted the two from afar.
"Ahh The two of them came back to their senses from the world of two, and Zheng Liwan couldn't help but be surprised.
"What's wrong?" Gongsun Feiyan walked in and asked.
"No, nothing!" Zheng Liwan said in a slight panic.
"There must be a problem!" Gongsun Feiyan circled around the two curiously, looked carefully and said.
"It's really fine, by the way, did you find any news?" Situ Changfeng was worried that Zheng Liwan was thin-faced, so he hurriedly diverted the topic.
When he asked, Gongsun Feiyan, who had a detached temperament, was really diverted, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed, and he complained: "There is no useful news at all, it's all nonsense." ”
"Okay, let's go meet the others first, and we're debating our next move." Situ Changfeng said without surprise.
"So, Situ, you have found a clue." Gongsun Feiyan tilted his head and asked with certainty.
"Can't you just be stupid? Women are too smart to get married. Situ Changfeng was stunned for a moment and sighed.
"Hmph, this girl is naturally beautiful, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to get married." Gongsun Feiyan was praised for being smart, and said proudly.
The four of them went to the entrance of the town together, and the others were already waiting here, and after some exchange, they found that all the news was similar. Including from Li Zheng, the most useful is the group of people in black.
Everyone discussed and decided to go to Blackwood Village to investigate first, and then go to the vicinity of Blackwood Mountain to see if they could find useful news or traces of the murderer.
…………
It was only more than ten miles from the town to the village, and the group rode on horseback, but the kung fu of the two pillars of incense arrived.
All the people of the village were killed, and there were no chickens and dogs left, so the village was not only lifeless, but also dilapidated and ruined.
According to what Li Zheng said, because the people in the village died, in the end, Li Zheng led people to bury them. And worried that there would still be strongmen, everyone left in a hurry, and everything in the village remained as it was.
From the head of the village to the end of the village, all the places were searched, and nothing was found except for the fact that there were indeed many murderers.
"Big brother, what now? Is it to go directly to Blackwood Mountain. Duhe asked.
"It's not early, and everyone is in a hurry all day today, and when they are tired, they will rest in the village for one night, and tomorrow they will go up the mountain to investigate." Situ Changfeng arranged.
No one objected, and for the sake of safety, they found the largest house in the village to live in, the so-called largest, but only four houses; Zheng Liwan and Gongsun Feiyan are two in one room, and the other twelve people live in three rooms.
It was also discussed that twelve men would take turns to keep vigil, and then they would start cleaning the house together.
"Ah Niu, you and I will go and set up a few traps around as a warning." Situ Changfeng said to the others.
"I know a little bit about traps, so let's go with Brother Situ." Zhu Zhi arched his hand and said.
"It's better like this, Brother Zhu, please!" Situ Changfeng agreed with a smile.
…………
There was nothing to do all night, Situ Changfeng chose to be on duty with Hanniu for a period of time before dawn in order to let the others have a good rest, but fortunately, there was nothing to do.
"Who?" Situ Changfeng heard the movement and asked in a low voice.
"It's me." Yang Kun's figure walked out of the darkness.
"It turned out to be Brother Yang." Situ Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, I've disturbed Brother Situ." Yang Kun apologized embarrassedly.
"It's okay, Brother Yang?"
"Since I was a child, I was used to getting up at the beginning of Yin Shi to practice, so I couldn't sleep, so I got up and walked." Yang Kun explained.
"I see, I think I am diligent, but I am not as good as Brother Yang." Situ Changfeng sighed.
"In hard work, it's empty talk if you don't have talent." Yang Kun said with a wry smile.
"Brother Yang is too himself, I think it's good to do your best." Situ Changfeng comforted.
"Hehe, yes, it's just that the family has a heavy responsibility, and I can't help myself."
"Okay, don't talk about this, it will affect your mood, and you haven't thanked Brother Situ for taking care of me all the way." Yang Kun said self-deprecatingly.
"Brother Yang said that everyone is classmates, and when they go out, they should naturally help each other." Situ Changfeng said with a smile.
"I really envy a few of them, they can have a brother like Brother Situ."
"Hehe, I'm glad to have these brothers."
"By the way, what does Brother Situ think of this group of men in black?" Yang Kun walked to the fire, sat down and asked.
"I've been thinking about it, there must be a reason for it, the whole village of Kuroki Village was killed, and it's not clear why it happened; However, as an ordinary village, it must be something that makes people feel excited to cause a tragedy that can cause the destruction of the village.
Or maybe the murderer has an ulterior secret. Situ Changfeng analyzed.
"What Brother Situ said is very true, all 120 people in the village were killed, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has never happened in the vicinity of Luoyang.
This can be said to be a shocking case, and I can't figure out why we sent a group of teenagers here. Yang Kun said puzzled.
"I also thought about it, one may be to train everyone, and the other may be that the martial arts academy can't draw more people to come." Situ Changfeng said with a frown.
