Chapter 54: The Dead City

Scar Man settled Mu and Wu Yue in a house with only one old man, and left.

"So soon? you're going to be fighting with their priest in three days, but your body?" the old man was skinny and his ears weren't very good, so he didn't have to shy away from anything.

"Hmm. Wu Yue replied to the wood while taking the tea made by the old man, and nodded to the old man to express his gratitude.

"You don't have to ...... anymore Well...... Training, training that bug?" "Training, bugs, wood hadn't thought of the words together.

"No, it's dormant, and it will wake up when the time comes. You go to sleep first, and then take a good look at this stockade tomorrow. ”

"Oh, good night. The wood closed the wooden door, and went into the side hall and lay down, although the bed was cushioned with straw, but it was quite soft. Wu Yue finished drinking tea, entered another guest room, and also fell asleep.

Yinshi, that is, the third watch in the middle of the night, the time when Duanmu comes out to breathe. Duanmu found that he was not in the room of Wujiao Miao Village, he had already overheard the situation, knew that he was in Wushan Miao Village, and wanted to see the style of this Miao Village with his own eyes, and he was also curious about what Wu Yue wanted to take the wood to see.

Duanmu softly opened the door and pushed the wooden deadbolt open, (it looks like a smartphone sliding to unlock...... Walked out, at this time almost all the lights were extinguished, the outline of the village disappeared into the darkness, the stars in the mountains seemed very close and bright, and he could see the Milky Way, he couldn't help but be in a trance, fascinated by the scene in front of him, he remembered the previous nights in Shu Kingdom, and Li Shi stargazing on the star platform.

Duanmu came back to his senses, walking aimlessly on the stone road, on both sides are Miao houses, very primitive, can even be said to be dilapidated, compared to the gorgeous wind and rain building in the center of the village, the former is a thatched hall and the latter is a palace. His eyesight was limited at night, and Duanmu couldn't see any more clues, so he walked back to the old man's courtyard along the path.

Early in the morning, the wood was woken up by the sound of chirping, and he found that he had fallen asleep without taking off his clothes, and he didn't pay much attention to it in a daze, but just said casually, "How did you sleep with your clothes on, it seems to have taken off your ...... last night"

Duanmu pinched a handful of sweat in the mausoleum, and the proprietress told him that she couldn't tell Mu yet, and she couldn't easily change Mu's fate, unless Mu Tou herself was willing to accept it, otherwise she would throw Xiang Pendant into the river and let Duanmu and Wang Ba be companions. Compared with Nie Chi Zampu, who is a disaster to the world, the evil sister seems to care more about whether Mu Tou can have her own life. Duanmu felt that she was waiting for an opportunity, and it made sense to do so, if Mu didn't accept it, he wouldn't be able to find a more suitable person to eradicate Nie Chi Zampu to complete the mission for a while, because a dragon tooth would not easily serve another master, this dragon tooth was given to General Li by him, and Duanmu couldn't understand why Mu would react when he wore it.

Wood rubbed his eyes and yawned, pushed open the door, and saw Wu Yue sitting in the courtyard, with her eyes closed, as if she was meditating.

"Are you awake?" Wu Yue didn't open her eyes before she noticed the wood.

"Hmm. ”

"I'll show you around. Wu Yue opened her eyes, got up and dusted off her clothes. Wood wondered if the worldly masters would be like this.

Out of the old man's house, Mu felt that he had arrived in another place, and was stunned in front of the old man's door, because this was not at all the scene he had seen last night. It was like a dead city, depressed and dilapidated, and some of the houses were in disrepair and had collapsed into ruins and no one had cleaned them up. The streets and alleys were lifeless, many of the alleys were empty, and on a street near the wind and rain building, there were a few old men in ragged clothes, who were as thin as the old men.

"Look at you like this," Wu Yue smiled faintly, "It was too late yesterday, and it was normal to see clearly, this is Wushan Miao Village." ”

"How can it be so depressed?" the wood looked up and could see the magnificent wind and rain building in the center of Miao Village, "that building could not be built without a certain amount of financial resources and labor." ”

"That's the problem. A few years ago, there was a famine, fortunately, the grain stored in our village was just enough for us to survive, but Wushan Miao Village had no reserves, their agriculture was not developed, but they have always advocated force, but force can not fill the stomach. When there was a famine, they did not find a way to solve the problem of food shortage, and renovated this extravagant wind and rain building, praying to the gods to bless them from the disaster. ”

"The result?"

"In the end, a lot of people starved to death in the village, and there was an incident of eating children. ”

"Eat children?" the wood couldn't believe it.

"There is only one household. Wu Yue looked guilty.

"What's wrong with you?"

"At that time, Wushan Miao Village sent a messenger, when he came to our village, he was already dying, the elders knew their situation, chose to turn a blind eye, let them fend for themselves. ”

"Isn't it the priest's rule?"

"The messenger died shortly after he arrived, because Wushan Miao Village had been oppressing us and doing a lot of excessive things, and the elders hid it from me at that time. If we distribute food to Wushan Miao Village, we will starve to death. ”

"What about the outside world?

"The news is blocked, plus my grandmother has angered a person who can't be angered...... "Wu Yue didn't want to say any more, and Mu Tou also knew why she agreed to Dou Gu, she wanted to help Wushan Miao Village.
