In the early hours of the next morning, the wind was bitterly cold.

Zhang Song, accompanied by Chang Shen, He Qinghong, and Kong Yi, rode out of Qingsong Valley and headed for Yongping County.

Because they were in a hurry, as soon as they left the Green Pine Valley, the four of them ran fast, and the dust stirred up flew behind them.

"Zhang Jun, it's been two hours in a row, the horses are tired, there is a village in front, let's go to that village to rest before leaving?"

Zhang Song looked up at the sky, and saw that the corners of the horses' mouths were foaming, so he agreed with Chang Shen's opinion.

When the four of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they dismounted and led their horses towards the village.

At the entrance of the village, there was a high ridge with tall trees that obscured the sky above the road.

Beyond the high ridge, the village was revealed to the four of them. It is a village of dozens of families, the village is densely wooded, and it is surrounded by large fields, and the wheat seedlings in the fields are pulling out their buds, and they look tender and green.

When the four entered the village, they found a well not far from the entrance of the village. He led the horse, drank water in a puddle, and tied it up.

"This village is so big, why can't there be any people?"

He Qinghong frowned as he walked towards the well, and said strangely.

"Maybe it's because I'm out to work, and now that spring is about to begin, it's time to do some farm work." Kong Yi replied.

"It's rare to see the well, I'm going to go and drink some water first." Chang Shen walked briskly towards the well.

"Zhang Jun, you go carefully, this stone road is very slippery, don't fall!"

Walking to the well, Chang Shen grabbed the bucket on the well platform and threw it into the well, and did not forget to remind Zhang Song of them.

"The well water is still delicious, this village has a good geographical location, and it must be very rich, and there is actually a well." He Qinghong admired.

"Aren't there any wells in other villages?" Zhang Song asked strangely.

"I don't know about the farther places, but as far as Zhangye is concerned, it is rare for a village to be able to dig such a well. Most people drink cellar water. He Qinghong pursed his lips and said.

Cellar water, is to dig a water cellar, the mouth of the water cellar is small and the inside is large, and the inside of the water cellar should be tamped to prevent water seepage. The bottom of the cellar should also be covered with clean loess to filter out impurities. Whenever rainwater comes, it is collected into a water cellar for future use.

This kind of cellar water is difficult to drink and is prone to spoilage.

"Come, drink from the well, you look like you grew up drinking cellar water." Chang Shen said to He Qinghong with a smile while pulling the barrel up.

After running for a long time, not to mention He Qinghong and them, Zhang Song also felt a little thirsty, waiting for Chang Shen to fetch water and drink enough.

As soon as the water came up, He Qinghong was about to drink, but Chang Shen stopped him.

"Chang Shen, what do you mean?" He Qinghong asked.

"This water doesn't taste right! It seems to smell bad! Chang Shen frowned.

"Really?"

He Qinghong snatched the bucket from Chang Shen's hand, and when he smelled it, he frowned and shouted, "It stinks", and splashed the water on the ground with force.

The water splashed to the ground, and even Zhang Song and Kong Yi, who were still far away from Chang Shen, also smelled a foul smell.

"Oh no, there's a corpse in the well! No, there is more than one! Chang Shen poked a few eyes into the well and exclaimed in a low voice.

As soon as He Qinghong and Kong Yi heard this, they pulled out the saber they carried with them and surrounded Zhang Song.

Several people looked around vigilantly for a long time, but the village was just quiet, and there was no movement.

"Zhang Jun, something is wrong! It's so quiet! Kong Yi said.

It was indeed too quiet, no voices, no roosters, no dogs barking, exactly like a dead village.

"Retreat to the horse, lead the horse, and we'll take a look!" Zhang Song commanded in a low voice.

The four of them led the horses and nervously searched from the first room at the head of the village to the end of the village, and did not let go of each room.

After some searching, the doubts of Zhang Song and the others not only did not solve, but increased their doubts.

All the houses have their doors wide open, the kitchens are cold, and some of the pots still have food, and the food is already moldy. Some people still have dishes and chopsticks on the stove, and there is half a bowl of moldy wheat rice in the bowl.

A few cases and beds in the hall were covered with a thin layer of dust, and some cases and beds in some houses fell to the ground.

There was no one in the house, and the sight was like that of a soldier who was burying a pot for food suddenly heard an urgent battle order, and took up his arms and immediately went into battle.

"There is no one!" Kong Yi was shocked!

"There is no one!"

For fear of an accident, the four of them searched together, and no one was there, this was the result that everyone saw with their own eyes, but He Qinghong still couldn't help but respond.

There was no one in the village, Chang Shen and He Qinghong also let go of some and continued to search towards the valley at the end of the village.

Zhang Song had a gloomy face, looking back at the whole village from the end of the village, the village was as silent as death, not to mention people, not even chickens, dogs, cows, sheep, not even the sound of insects.

Although he felt strange, Zhang Song didn't want to delay here, his relatives in Yongping County were suffering, waiting for his rescue.

"Chang Shen, He Qinghong, let's go!" Zhang Song shouted.

"It's coming!"

Chang Shen heard this, and immediately walked towards Zhang Song.

"Coming soon!"

He Qinghong agreed, but continued to walk towards the flat land in the valley at the end of the village.

"Oh my God!"

He Qinghong's exclamation alarmed Zhang Song and the three of them, who were leading the horse away.

"What's the matter?"

"What's going on?"

Chang Shen and Kong Yi asked together.

"Zhang Jun, come on! Come on! He Qinghong shouted in horror, "It's terrible! ”

Zhang Song, Kong Yi and Chang Shen glanced at each other, and rode their horses towards the flat land in the valley at the end of the village with suspicion.

As soon as I arrived at the flat, I was greeted by a strong stench, exactly the same as the one in the well. And the sight that caught the eye made Zhang Song and the other three people terrified and dizzy.

The floor was littered with corpses, upside down, standing, hanging, and nailed to trees...... The corpses were men and women, old and young. These people have been dead for a long time, and the corpses have already stinked, and that stench is the stench of corpses.

Zhang Song, Chang Shen, and Kong Yi stood in a daze, as if they were standing on the edge of the Shura Field, and the terrifying sight made it almost impossible to breathe.

It took a long time for the four of them to come back to their senses, and they all saw the fear and doubt in each other's eyes.

"Zhang Jun, what should I do?" He Qinghong asked in a trembling voice.

Originally, Zhang Song was in a hurry to save his relatives, but now that he has seen such a tragedy, Zhang Song is not easy to leave, fortunately, it is not far from Yongping County, and after a little exploration, he can't delay things.

"Let's go over and have a look!" Zhang Songqiang endured the feeling of wanting to vomit, and said calmly, the anger in his eyes was visible, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip water.

The four of them tied their horses, raised their feet, and walked forward. The four of them walked very slowly, because there were corpse fragments everywhere, so they had to slow down, otherwise, it would be easy to step on the corpse fragments.

The first corpse that the four of them looked at was a middle-aged male, this corpse was naked, and a thin rope passed through the man's ***, around the thigh, up to the chest, and then through the lute bones on both shoulders, and the knotted rope was knotted at the back of the neck.

The man's face was distorted, frightened and pained, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and his tongue was long and drooping. Then look at the man's hands grasping the tree behind him, the nails of his ten fingers already digging deep into the hard bark, and the bark was stained with blood.

This kind of death was something Zhang Song had never seen before, and the tragic situation made Zhang Song feel angry in his heart. The man had suffered so much that he should have died of pain, as there were no wounds other than the two wounds found.

The second corpse was a female corpse, this woman was also completely naked***-room was pierced by two bamboo sticks, and a wooden thorn was planted on the lower body, which penetrated the entire abdomen.

The woman still had tears on her face, her mouth wide open, her eyes wide open, and her neck stretched out to look at the sky, as if to accuse God of injustice.

After only looking at the two corpses, He Qinghong was already trembling with anger, and Kong Yi's eyes could almost burst into flames. Although there was nothing unusual about Chang Shen on the surface, his right hand holding the knife had white knuckles.

None of the four spoke, but walked forward together.

Collecting land, Zhang Song saw a man's head on a pile of fresh soil. The skull of the human head had been opened, and the human head was covered in blackened blood.

"It's a fairy scattered flower!"

Seeing that Zhang Song was puzzled, Chang Shen explained.

It turns out that this method of killing is extremely cruel, which is to dig a pit deep for all people, tie people up and stand in the pit, and then bury the earth layer by layer, tamp it, bury the soil again, and tamp it again, so that when it is buried in the neck, the blood of the human body is pressed close to the skull, and finally the skull is crushed with a hard beat, and the blood is sprayed out.

"How do you know?" Zhang Song stared at Chang Shen with his eyes and asked coldly.

"I've also heard people tell me that although I have killed countless people, I have never tortured or killed people!" Chang Shen replied immediately.

"Please forgive me, I can't control my emotions when I see this tragic scene!" Zhang Song apologized to Chang Shen.

Walking here, the four of them didn't want to look any further, because as far as the eye could see, the corpses all over the ground were basically similar deaths, and here, the person who killed by cutting off his head was simply merciful!

"There's a pot there!" He Qinghong said.

The four of them walked up to the pot, and the water in the pot had dried up, leaving only a pot of bones. He Qinghong flicked a few times with a branch, and a small head came out of his bones.

He Qinghong jumped away violently, his face was extremely ugly, and his teeth were clenched.

"!"

Kong Yi cursed fiercely.

"Who do you think did this?"

Zhang Song only felt that anger filled his chest, and he just wanted to find the murderer and kill him cleanly.
