Chapter 387: Hongyan's death is unbearable
But it can be seen from Xiaohong's face that she doesn't care how dilapidated her home is, and there is a sense of satisfaction that Mu Li has never seen.
Xiaohong moved quickly, and after a while, the wild vegetables and fruits were ready. "Lord, princess, come and taste it." Xiaohong brought out the prepared wild vegetables and fruits.
Mu Li had just picked up a piece, and before he could put it to his mouth, he heard someone shouting outside the door, "Dead man, dead man." ”
When Fang Cai entered the village, it was still calm, why did there be a fatality at this moment, Chu Lingyi asked Liuyun to hurry out and take a look, what happened.
Liuyun grabbed an uncle and asked him, "Why are you so alarmed?" ”
"You're from out of town, aren't you? You don't know, hey, forget it, let's run for your life. Before the uncle finished speaking, he shook off Liuyun's hand and ran forward desperately.
Xiaohong left her hometown, and for many years she didn't know what was going on here, and she felt very different from before. As soon as it gets dark, everyone will hurry home, not even the candles will be lit. I don't know if it's because the candle is expensive, or if it's another reason.
The people of the village poured out and fled, and who died would make the villagers panic so much.
Chu Lingyi and Mu Li had no intention of tasting Xiaohong's wild vegetables and fruits, they just wanted to figure out why these villagers were running away.
"In the past few days since you came back, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"
Xiaohong shook her head, "Many of the older generation have already left, and the rest have never been photographed. ”
Also, Xiaohong was taken away by Chu Lingyi a few years ago, and she has already broken away from this village, and now she is just busy working at home when she comes back.
Who exactly died, would make the villagers so afraid. Chu Lingyi asked Liuyun to investigate before.
"How, what's the matter?" Chu Lingyi stayed at Xiaohong's house to protect Mu Li and Xiaohong.
"Back to the prince, it's indeed dead." Liuyun saw that there was a woman who died, not to mention how miserable it was, and her seven orifices were bleeding.
Okay, how could it be dead, could it be that this woman offended someone and was drugged?
But the woman had a kind face, not like the kind of person who would cause trouble. The seemingly calm water music village hides a mystery that is not known.
The people of the village have run away, and they don't know where to find someone to find out why. "Let's see if there's anyone missing."
Chu Lingyi asked Liuyun to search nearby, and found that there were a few old people hiding in the weeds, probably because of their age, they couldn't run far.
"Lift them up." With the combined efforts of Mu Li and Xiaohong, these old men were helped out of the haystack.
The old people looked at Mu Li in panic, this village has never entered a stranger, it has always been closed and self-sufficient.
Mu Li wanted to get closer to greet them, but their resistance made Mu Li only stay away. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Xiaohong has been back for a few days, and although she doesn't walk around the village much, she can be regarded as a member of the village. She constantly used the local dialect to communicate with the old people, trying to get them to trust Mu Li.
After asking for a long time, they still didn't speak. It was not safe to go out at night, so Mu Li asked Xiaohong to place them in the house.
One of the old women had been muttering to herself, and for a long time she couldn't understand what she was saying, but it was evident that he was panicking.
No matter who sees the tragic condition of that woman, they will be horrified, what happened to this dilapidated village, which would make a young girl in the flower season look so miserable.
Chu Lingyi didn't dare to determine what would happen next, so he asked Mu Li to enter the house quickly. "Stay here, this king and Liuyun, go and go back."
"No, I'll go with you." Although Mu Li is not a stunt now, he can also help at a critical moment, and by the way, let's see what his strength is.
If Mu Li also followed, then all the people in the house, except for Xiaohong, would be some old, weak, sick and disabled people. If something happens, they will die.
"Be obedient and stay to protect them, this is the king's order to you." Chu Lingyi had a difficult future this time, and he didn't dare to determine what danger lay ahead, so he tried his best to leave Mu Li here to protect her.
Mu Li didn't think so, just one person died, maybe more people would die. Mu Li repeatedly discussed with Chu Lingyi, and left Liuyun here to protect the old man and Xiaohong.
"Well, it's decided."
The reason why Shuile Village is called Shuile Village is because it is surrounded by small streams. The location is good, but the transportation is inconvenient. It is a paradise to outsiders, but it is an extremely poor village compared to Shuile Village.
The villagers fled to the cave and hid, one by one silent and silent. The woman's death was undoubtedly a warning to them.
The next village is called Fuli Village, and unlike Shuile Village, it is extremely wealthy. There is even a bully in the village, who specializes in bullying Shuile Village.
"Lao Zhang, it's not a problem to hide like this, you can't let the whole village starve here."
Lao Zhang is the village chief of Shuile Village, and he has always been responsible for protecting Shuile Village, but the development of Shuile Village cannot be improved, which causes the overlords of neighboring villages to often come to bully. also threatened to take Shuile Village for himself, if Lao Zhang hadn't tried his best to stop it, the villagers would have already become the slaves of the neighboring village's overlord Fuda.
Lao Zhang lowered his head, and he was helpless. But as long as he has the ability, he will not hide in the cave with the villagers at every turn.
The population of Shuile Village is not large, and there are only about 100 people. But as far as Lao Zhang is concerned, they are all the people he wants to protect, and he can't give in to Fuda when he dies.
"I don't know, but I can't watch you being bullied by him."
Fuda is the richest man in Fuli Village, and he does all kinds of evil, robbing people's daughters and forcing people into slaves. But he has one thing, that is, he will not bully the people of the same village, and only attack the people of Shuile Village.
"Where do you think they're hiding?"
It was dark at night, and there was only one Mars, which was to be saved for the critical moment.
According to Chu Lingyi's experience, so many people running away together will definitely leave traces on the road.
"Give the Martian Seed to the King."
"No, it's just this one, you can't just use it." This is in Shuile Village, not in the Prince's Mansion, this Mars is still given to Mu Li by Xiaohong, so it can't be used like this.
Chu Lingyi relied on his experience to see that the weeds on the side of the road were bent, and the creases were still fresh, indicating that someone had just passed by here, and he could determine which direction the villagers were going.
"Go, in that direction."
The road conditions in Shuile Village were not very good, and Mu Li followed Chu Lingyi and walked cautiously. Chu Lingyi stretched out his hand, but Mu Li ignored it, so he didn't want his help.
Mu Li walked in front of Chu Lingyi and stopped after taking a few steps. Because I really don't know which direction to go in front of me.
"Forget it, it's better for you to lead the way."
