Chapter 242: Where Did the People Go?

One person is on the tree and the other is on the ground, so that the up and down echo the enemy, and I have to say that the preparation is still relatively in place and relatively sufficient. Moreover, Qin Li's martial arts are definitely among the masters, and the pot martial arts of one of the four King Kongs are not weak, especially good at hidden weapons.

Their preparation like this, let alone say that they came to seven or eight good players, even seventeen or eighteen did not have any mistakes at all. Don't forget, when Qin Li was in Jiangdu County, he had fought against more than 300 White Lotus Sectists with the strength of one person.

It turned out that Qin Li and the pot's full preparation was redundant. Because when they saw the seven or eight people running over, they were stunned.

In the bright moonlight, an old lady and two old men with gray hair came running closer and closer. A middle-aged woman with a baby in her arms, and two children of seven or eight years old.

The only thing that could make Qin Li look at him and pay a little attention was a middle-aged man. The man held a long sword in his hand. When the man ran closer, Qin Li could see clearly that there were already several gaps on the long sword, and there seemed to be dried blood stains on it.

The man was still quite strong, and he was not slow to run. It's just that he ran in front of these people for a while, and behind them for a while, and obviously he was in charge of guarding and guarding these people. If it weren't for this man, I don't know how many times this old and weak woman and child would have died.

The man ran to Qin Li, just glanced at Qin Li, threw the long sword in his hand on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Li, and said loudly, "You are Lord Qin, I kowtow to you, please Lord Qin to save us!" ”

After saying that, he crawled on the ground and never got up again.

The old man and the old woman behind him, the middle-aged woman, and the two boys of seven or eight years old all knelt on the ground in his own way. Kowtow to Qin Li with a bang.

Boom! What's going on? Why are there so many people in this barren mountain range? Besides, I've never seen them before, so why can this man say my name just by looking at me?

Qin Li wondered.

Qin Li was originally a kind-hearted person, the old and weak women and children knelt in front of him, where could he bear it? And listening to the pleading voices of several of them, it was very sad. Qin Li's heart was sad.

Hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the three old men first, and then picked up all the rest. When the pot in the tree saw this, he knew that there was no more fighting, and he flew and jumped down from the tree.

The man didn't wait for Qin Li to ask, so he clearly said all the questions in Qin Li's heart.

The man's name is Zhou Fan, and he is a native of Didao Zhoujiazhuang. Zhoujiazhuang is a small village located in the southwest corner of Wansnake Mountain, more than 60 miles away from Wansnake Mountain. It is said that Di Dao is located on the border of the Ming Dynasty, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and Di Dao has been rampant with bandits in recent years. The people are not Liaosheng, and there are many villagers who simply become bandits, so they respond to the saying "poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people".

But because Zhoujiazhuang is not far from Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, few bandits dare to come here to make trouble. First, it is because there are very poisonous snakes and pythons on Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain, and many people have heard of the power of poisonous snakes and pythons, but they dare not come. In fact, how did they know that the poisonous snake python in this Ten Thousand Snake Mountain is actually very well-behaved. They just live in Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, and do not leave Ten Thousand Snake Mountain. Nor do they go to the nearby villages.

The second is because there is a Didao giant bandit Yang Dingtian behind Ten Thousand Snake Mountain. It is said that few of Di Dao's bandits have seen Yang Dingtian's true face. But there are countless people who have heard of Yang Dingtian's name. Yang Dingtian is equipped with peerless martial arts and has a black heart. Rumor has it that he is a murderer. Kill at every turn. Moreover, there are thousands of bandits under Yang Dingtian, and he is used to being arrogant and domineering.

As long as you don't think your life is long, you won't come to Zhoujiazhuang.

It is precisely because of the above two reasons that Zhoujiazhuang has maintained a very peaceful life in Didao, where bandits are rampant over the years, and although the villagers have lived a hard life, they are also quiet and peaceful.

But just a few years ago, Zhoujiazhuang was not calm. In the beginning, I just lost one or two children a month. Then more and more were lost, and later even the prime and the elderly were lost.

It is said that Zhoujiazhuang was very peaceful in the past, and the population gathered was large, with 2,000 people. But no amount of people can withstand years of loss. Most of these people disappeared in the middle of the night without realizing it.

The old man in the village said that he had been called away by a ghost. But then, in just one year, five or six hundred people were lost in the village. Someone goes missing almost every day. And day and night. In short, no one sees how people are lost. But it disappeared out of thin air. Ghosts don't come out during the day, so the argument that they were called away by ghosts is self-defeating.

Where have the people gone? This has become a mystery in Zhoujiazhuang.

Over the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer people in Zhoujiazhuang, and the villagers have been living in fear almost every day, and no one knows when they will not see their families.

But choosing to leave Zhoujiazhuang is even more impossible. Two years ago, there were people who left Zhoujiazhuang, they left during the day, but at night, the villagers clearly saw their heads hanging on the courtyard wall of his house. It doesn't matter if you are an adult or a child, in short, you can't leave Zhoujiazhuang, you will definitely be dead when you leave the night that day.

There is no other way but to wait quietly in Zhoujiazhuang, waiting for the day of disappearance.

Zhou Fan belongs to a very smart man in Zhoujiazhuang. Don't look at it as only in your twenties, but you have a lot of eyes, and you can see this matter more clearly.

In Zhou Fan's view, the people who disappeared in Zhoujiazhuang were arrested. The people who captured them should have peerless martial arts. When they were captured, they were either enslaved and enslaved, or they were simply killed. In short, those who are captured will not end well. These people are useful to the captor.

As for what is the use, Zhou Fan naturally can't figure it out. Anyway, in his opinion, in addition to being a slave, it is used to practice swords.

Zhou Fan chose to practice martial arts diligently, and a long sword was haunted by him, which is really strange. Zhou Fan finally became the only remaining prime of life in Zhoujiazhuang.

Since there were only eight old and weak people left in a village of more than 2,000 people, Zhou Fan and other old and weak people, it seemed to be a lot quieter. It was quiet for several months, and not a single person of the eight people was lost.

As the only prime of life, Zhou Fan took care of three old people, a middle-aged woman and a baby, and finally two seven or eight-year-old boys. I didn't dare to leave Zhoujiazhuang, but fortunately, there was no shortage of food on the huge Zhuangzi, and their lives were not bad.

But just yesterday, Zhou Fan was practicing swords in the village, and four healthy horses galloped into the village. It was at that time that Zhou Fan understood the real reason for the loss of Zhoujiazhuang. (To be continued.) )
