Chapter 310 The Only Ten Households
Li Tian looked at everything here and was angry and anxious in his heart, a good village was destroyed by this so-called hailstorm, it can be seen that this village was originally built on the mountain, and now even the trees on both sides of the road have been broken, and from time to time a hand will come out, if it weren't for the fact that everyone present has basically been on the battlefield, they may be scared to the point of a nervous breakdown: "You guys go around and take a look, choose a few good rooms and clean up the corpses inside, we will live there tonight." ”
The guards looked at each other, although they were not afraid of the dead, and it would be a test of their courage to let them sleep in that place.
Li Tian grinned: "If you don't want to, then I won't be reluctant, it's just that it's freezing outside, sleeping in a tent, I'm afraid that you will go to see Lord Yama the next morning." ”
Fear of death is human instinct, in comparison they still choose to live in the house, when they are cleaning up the house everywhere, Li Tian and the three of them walk around in this village, there are ruins everywhere, but what makes them feel strange is that only there is a corpse in front of the back is clean, although the house is still dilapidated, but there is no trace of the corpse moved, which further confirms the conjecture in Li Tian's heart, this hail that can kill people, really someone did it deliberately, who is it? Why did you want to make such a big move, even at the cost of so many people's lives?
While he was helping him to think about these questions, a guard came up with a man in his prime: "My lord, we found him in a house. ”
Li Tian had to stop thinking about it: "Where are you from?" Why is it here? ”
It should be that the man in the prime of life is obviously a little nervous, and he always stammers when he speaks: "Return... Adult's... In other words, we are the villagers of this village, and when the hail fell that morning, we happened to go out, and we escaped the catastrophe when we were not in the village, and when we came back, the whole village was dead. ”
Li Tian raised his eyebrows: "You mean that you have other people." ”
"Yes...... In addition to the adults, there were nine other people, and we went up to the mountains to hunt together. ”
Li Tian pointed to the house: "Okay, you go and call the other nine people here, I have something to ask." ”
After a while, everyone came, and Li Tian cleared his throat: "This official is asking you now, what did you do on the day of the hailstorm?" ”
A young man stood up: "If we go back to the mountains to hunt, we wanted to hunt a few wild animals for our family to taste, but I didn't expect it!" ”
Speaking of this, he choked up as a seven-foot man.
Li Tian waved his hand: "Okay, don't cry, the official still has something to ask, are you the only ones in the whole village?" ”
"Yes, adults and others are dead."
Li Tian nodded: "Then why is there only a corpse in the front, but the back is really clean?" ”
"We piled up all the corpses in front of us, mainly because we were afraid that people with ulterior motives would come to our village and rob them."
Li Tian smiled slightly: "So that's the case, then according to my guards, when you found you, you were lying on the ground, and you were going to get up and attack them, but you were captured by them." ”
"Back to my lord's words, Caomin and others originally planned to bury all the people of this village today and let them be buried in the ground, and then we left, but I didn't expect to be blocked in the house by your men on the way, and in desperation, a few of us could only collectively pretend to be dead and plan to kill you, and then escape, but I didn't expect to be captured by your people in three or two clicks."
Li Tian nodded, this is a reasonable thing: "There are only you dead left in the whole village, then I have something to ask you, hail fell from the sky, did you find anything strange before?" ”
The young man looked at his companion and pondered for a moment, as if pondering the question: "What did the adults say, but we remembered." ”
Li Tianxi finally had eyebrows: "Come quickly." ”
The young man found a stool and sat down: "I remember it was a snowy day, we went up the mountain to chop firewood with a few good buddies in the village, and planned to sell it to the city to supplement some household supplies later, just when we were halfway up the mountain, I seemed to see white smoke rising in the distance, because of the weather at that time, I didn't see it clearly, and I don't know if it was white smoke." ”
Li Tian felt that he had guessed right, the hail was indeed deliberately done by someone, for the white smoke they said should be the water vapor produced when burning something, the amount emitted into the air was too large, and the weather was cold to produce such a large hail to kill people, and the new question came again, what the hell is going on, it will emit so much water vapor, even the air can withstand it.
Thinking of this, I still want to continue to hear what the villagers have to say, and then I think, "Go on, what else?" Not a word can be left behind. ”
Then there was silence again, as if pondering a question: "My lord, I remember that just a few days ago in the night we suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of people talking, but it lasted for a while and then it was far away from us. ”
Li Tian's heart moved: "Do you remember what direction it was?" ”
"If you go back to your lordship, it's in the east, and we went to see it early the next morning, but there is a chaotic hill over there, and there is nothing."
Li Tian knew that they had already told everything they knew: "Very good, you guys go back and rest." ”
"And adults, you must solve this case, and give everyone justice, and you can't let them be in vain."
Speaking of which, he is an old man, and he actually burst into tears, which makes people look very sympathetic.
Li Tian nodded heavily: "Don't worry, the official will definitely find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and the dead villagers will be given justice." ”
The ten people collectively knelt down and kowtowed to Li Tian before retreating.
The enchantress looked at their backs: "It's so miserable, the whole family is dead, and in an instant, only a few of them are left." ”
In the past, the demon queen would never have said such a thing, it seems that more than a year has changed her a lot, Li Tian couldn't help but hold her in his arms: "So those of us who live must live well." ”
Xiao Mo pouted dissatisfiedly on the side: "I said that the two of you are really enough, and there is no one to spill this dog food." ”
Li Tian glanced at her: "I don't know who it is?" It's all so big, and they still sleep in the same room with us. ”
Xiao Mo wanted to talk back, but after looking at the surrounding situation, the words were swallowed by herself again, and the two laughed out loud with this expression that she wanted to say but couldn't say.
Li Tian always felt that there was less dialogue today, which made him always feel weird and uncomfortable, no matter what? He still decided that if the weather was good tomorrow, he would go and see for himself, maybe there would be something to gain, after all, hearing is false and seeing is believing.
