"Deal."

After agreeing, the group went directly to the village.

Along the way, Zhen Chutian was secretly observing the woman.

Although she looks very weak, there is a kind of anger in her, which she hides deeply, and can only be revealed by her inadvertently.

At this moment, Zhen Chutian seemed to feel that he had seen the wrong person, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion.

She walked at the back with Gu Chenghan, and Zhen Chutian said softly: "My lord, you don't want me to make a move, do you suspect her?" ”

As he spoke, Zhen Chutian pointed to the woman walking in the middle.

Gu Chenghan looked sideways at Zhen Chutian, "There are too many things like this, you can't control it at all." ”

I thought Gu Chenghan had found something, but I didn't expect him to be really troublesome.

Zhen Chutian pursed his lips and didn't speak.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the group arrived at the man's village.

When the villagers saw them returning, they rushed forward, and then saw the woman and scolded her angrily, "Kill her, this vicious woman should not live in this world." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this girl and her son promised to help us find dry food, and if that is the case, we will let this damn man go." Seeing that the villagers were so excited, the two men stood in front of them.

Fortunately, this villager can still be regarded as a talker, in fact, when he came, Zhen Chutian thought that if they arrived in the village, the two men would start to move again, although she and Gu Chenghan were not helpless, but if they really fought against so many villagers, they would not necessarily have the upper hand.

"Just the two of them?" The villagers looked Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian up and down, and then looked disdainful.

"There's no other way to kill her now?" The villagers who came back with Zhen Chutian looked at everyone helplessly.

"Kill her, anyway, so many people have died now, and she is not the only one, and she will only cause trouble for us if she lives so viciously." There seemed to be a leader among the villagers in the village, and as soon as this man said this, the villagers behind him began to stir.

Immediately after the coaxing, the men all raised their farming tools and prepared to beat the woman.

"Stop it, do you really not want to live?" Zhen Chutian did not draw his sword, but stood in front of the woman angrily.

The woman was so frightened that her whole body trembled at this time, and she didn't dare to move, she just hid behind Zhen Chutian, for fear that those people would really kill her.

Seeing Zhen Chutian's menacing appearance, although the villagers were still ready to move, they stood still and didn't move, just staring at Zhen Chutian.

Seeing Zhen Chutian looking at so many people, Gu Chenghan naturally wouldn't ignore it, and instantly stepped forward and stopped him behind him, "The dry food will definitely help you find it, but if someone dies, all of you will have to be buried with you." ”

Although Gu Chenghan did not report his home at this time, his ruthless eyes made the villagers dare not move, and some people even put down the objects in their hands.

"Everyone, even if we don't kill her, people like her will be cleaned up by God, as long as we find dry food, we can survive until the people of the court come to save us, I have already asked, the court has begun to provide disaster relief."

The man of the two men opened his mouth again.

This will make Zhen Chutian feel that although he is reckless, he is still the most understanding of these villagers.

The people obeyed him and did nothing more to the woman, but their hatred for her remained undiminished.

After everyone returned to their respective resting places, Zhen Chutian fell into deep thought.

The woman seemed to be hiding something, and there were only two possibilities for a village to believe that she was the murderer, either she was the one who stole the dry food, or the people of the village were ignorant.

"Thank you, girl." The woman took Zhen Chutian's wrist again and looked at her with a sincere expression.

"It's okay, you're welcome, what's your name, how did you come to this village?" Zhen Chutian suddenly remembered that she didn't know where she was.

The woman was asked by Zhen Chutian like this, her eyes were slightly red, and she sobbed: "Girl, I, I was a slave maid of a rich family in a nearby town before, and then the family was robbed by the hungry, and I was also kicked out."

I don't know what I was called when I was a child, I grew up begging, and they all called me Xiaohua in that household, and I wandered to this place. ”

"Why do they insist that you stole the dry food?" Zhen Chutian frowned and looked at Xiaohua.

Just asked with a simple sentence, if Xiaohua was not the thief, then she would definitely fight back firmly, but Zhen Chutian saw the panic in her eyes, although it was fleeting, she still caught it.

"It's really not me."

"Okay, I trust you."

Xiaohua seemed to have thought of a long speech, but she didn't want Zhen Chutian to say that I believe in you, so she could only smile awkwardly.

After settling down, Zhen Chutian walked around the village with Gu Chenghan.

The villagers have no food at all, and the well water is not drinkable yet, so Zhen Chutian knows that they won't last long, and maybe they won't be able to survive tonight, and they will riot.

In fact, from the perspective of this village, if every village is like them, it is not very bad, at least everyone will not monopolize food now.

But this dry food that disappeared out of thin air is really a big hidden danger.

Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian didn't want to waste time, so he went directly to the village chief.

The village chief is now at the same time at the well to see how to make the water clean.

Seeing Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan coming, the village chief was first unhappy, and then said very rudely: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

"Village chief, we're here to find dry food for you." Zhen Chutian replied quickly.

"You guys? You guys just brought that liar here? The village chief looked at Zhen Chutian unkindly.

"Yes."

"Call me." The village chief was indiscriminate and directly ordered people to fight.

But the village chief didn't seem to understand the situation, but without waiting for the villagers to make a move, Gu Chenghan took the lead and directly threw the villagers to the ground.

"You are not our opponents, don't waste your time, just tell me what happened when the dry food was lost?" Gu Chenghan looked at the villagers on the ground and wailed bitterly, but he was indifferent.

When the village chief saw that he had encountered a powerful character, his throat tightened, and he blinked his eyes and looked at the man and woman in front of him in disbelief.

To say that Zhen Chutian is also miserable enough, he was originally wearing men's clothes, but he accidentally got wet on the way, so he was ready to change his clothes, who knew that he opened the bag and saw women's clothes.

Zhen Chutian thought that he had made a mistake, and then looked at Gu Chenghan on the side, he coughed, "Nanhong said that it was inappropriate for you to wear men's clothes, so I changed it for you." ”

"Ah, my lord, didn't you ask me to make men's clothes?" Zhen Chutian felt that he was being played by Gu Chenghan and Nanhong.

Don't wait to think about it, hurry up, and then I met this group of villagers.

The village chief knew that the person in front of him couldn't be provoked, so he was a lot more honest, and he quickly dodged Gu Chenghan's eyes, and then began to tell what happened a few hours ago.

The villagers put all the dry food in the ancestral hall of the village, and every time it was time to eat, the village chief and a few villagers distributed the dry food, because now all the dealers could not farm, and all the shops around had nothing to sell, so all their dry food could only be eaten.

Today, as usual, the village chief went to the ancestral hall but found that all the dry food was gone, and everyone was anxious, and asked everyone, and everyone had witnesses to prove that they had not come to the ancestral hall.

Since the famine, the villagers have been very well-behaved, because they know very well that if there is chaos, they will soon run out of food.

The village chief also trusts these villagers, so naturally he will not suspect it, so the only one who is suspicious is Xiaohua.

"Xiaohua has just come to our village, and she also knows where our dry food is placed, and she is the only one who is most likely." The village chief swore to Gu Chenghan.

After saying that, Gu Chenghan fell into deep thought, and then looked down at Zhen Chutian.

Zhen Chutian understood, pursed his lips and looked at the village chief seriously, "The village chief will take us to the ancestral hall to see, whether it is made of Xiaohua, go over and see." ”

"Yes, please."

After the village chief finished speaking, he led the way in front.

The three of them soon arrived at the ancestral hall.

The village is not big, the ancestral hall is naturally not very big, but it is also clean, there are not many things in it, only some tables, which should be used to put dry food before, and there are some scattered dry food on the ground, but they are all fine, I think they were accidentally left behind when the thieves stole them.

There are not many traces in the house, of course, just remove the dry food, naturally there will not be too many traces.

Seeing Zhen Chutian's slightly frowning brows, Gu Chenghan also realized the trickiness of the matter, and frowned next, "How much dry food is there, and how is it placed?" ”

Seeing that Gu Chenghan asked in such detail, the village chief bowed down and said: "Our ancestral hall is so big, almost all of them are placed with dry food, which is the grain of all the people in our village, and the surrounding villages have begun to riot and there is a scene of snatching and snatching food.

All the people in our village gathered together, and after discussion, it was decided to centralize the management of dry food, in order to be able to support the people of the imperial court, but I didn't expect it to be lost. ”

The village chief was able to restrain himself at first, but the more he went on, the more uncomfortable he felt, and at this moment he was already in tears.

The same is true for the rest.

Zhen Chutian knew that this was their only hope to live, and now that they had no hope, how could they hold on.

The big man is now sitting on the ground with no regard for his image, and he really can't bear to say that Zhen Chutian can't bear it.

According to the words of the village chief, it is calculated that the dry food here can at least last until the people of the imperial court come to relieve the disaster, which is not a small amount, if it were not for the villagers' drinking water and stomach trouble, maybe these dry food would not have been stolen.

The thieves did not ask for the lives of the villagers, and they were so careful that it took two hours to calculate the hour, and if it was calculated according to the personnel, there were no more than two people at most.

And the scene looks relatively neat, there are no bits and pieces of the ancestral hall because of the panic, so cautious and have already thought about all the steps, this person is here for dry food.
