The two villagers who stayed behind didn't understand Butong's complicated thoughts, so they said hello and went to guard outside.

Bu Tong could only sit beside the unconscious Bu Yiyang with his knees and began to chatter,

"Brother, you said that Xuanlin is usually such a stable and thoughtful person, and today he has not even changed his plan and wants to go to the village rashly, is there something wrong?"

"Although I believe in him very much, I always feel that something is not right."

"By the way, what did he mean when he said, 'I really want to save them this time'? Who couldn't he save before? ”

"Why is everyone weird, Xuanwu is not right, and the face is not right to people......"

……

"When people first meet, you can see that something is wrong...... Xuanwu is a person from the village? Bu Yiyang's voice sounded slowly, and Bu Tong lowered his head and was pleasantly surprised to find that Bu Yiyang had woken up.

"Brother, are you awake? Is there anything you still feel uncomfortable with? Bu Tong hurriedly asked.

Bu Yiyang's eyes seemed to have regained clarity, and his consciousness was also very clear, "It's okay, the injury is not too serious, it's just that I'm too tired." ”

Bu Tong's judgment was that Bu Yiyang's traumatic bleeding and highly tense strenuous exercise, there was no big deal with a short period of hemorrhagic shock, and when he saw that he was awake, he was relieved.

"What about Tang Xuanlin and those killers?" Bu Yiyang recovered and looked around, seeing that there was no one, he asked a little puzzled.

Bu Tong simply told him in detail about what had just happened, and when Bu Yiyang heard the end, he suddenly got up and sighed, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid it's too late for them to rush to the village now." ”

Butong's slightly relaxed mood instantly fell to the bottom again,

"Wouldn't it? How could it be, those people had to take the people of the village as hostages, so that the men could work for him......"

Bu Tong's words came to an abrupt end, and she finally realized that something was wrong, who would stupidly hold everyone's family hostage and wait in the village after the threatened person did something with unknown results.

The village......

Bu Yiyang looked at Bu Tong, who was suddenly lost, and rarely reached out to touch Bu Tong's head and comforted softly,

"There are many things that we can't save with all our efforts, and the lives of those villagers are no longer within our control."

In fact, Bu Tong knew that what Bu Yiyang said was right, and the villagers mentioned that those people went to the village the day before yesterday, indicating that they had been ambushed in the woods for two days, and in the past two days, a lot of things can happen in the village.

And all these things seem to point to the worst.

January's voice came from overhead, "Miss, the Lord Overseer has led people to the village, but the village has been slaughtered and not a single person has been left alive. ”

Bu Yiyang was startled by this sudden voice, and when he heard the content clearly, he angrily smashed the thatch beside him, "Sure enough!" ”

Butong's whole body froze for a moment, and he sighed heavily,

"It's still Xuanlin's quick response, how do you know, it's in vain."

The voice above my head continued, "Miss, the people of the village have been dead for a long time, and I don't blame you. ”

Bu Yiyang looked up curiously, but saw a dark cave roof, "You are very interesting, I am still in front of you, and you dare to speak out at this time." ”

Butong lowered his head,

"January, are they coming back soon?"

January replied, "Still in the village." ”

Bu Tong and Bu Yiyang glanced at each other, and instantly understood that the two of them had the same thoughts.

"Let's go, go to the village."

Under the leadership of the two villagers, the two of them walked around for a stick of incense, and then they saw a group of buildings similar to the village, but there was no trace of human traffic, and the villagers hurriedly ran to the village when they saw this, but Bu Tong only felt that his chest was very blocked.

Bu Yiyang looked back at the way he came, and he was a little confused, and he was very emotional, "If there is no one to lead such a village that is bothered to hide, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the way after a few times, it can be seen that although the predecessors of these people live near Kyoto City, they want to escape from the world." ”

Bu Tong suddenly raised his head,

"yes, how did you get in?"

Bu Yiyang pointed in the direction where the two disappeared, "The villagers led the way in, don't you remember?" ”

Bu Tong turned his head to look at him,

"No, we were brought in by the villagers, but according to the village chief and Agui, those who poisoned everyone and took their parents, wives and children hostages obviously broke in suddenly, so how did they get in?"

Bu Yiyang was stunned, "Yes, it must be from the village." ”

"Xuanlin, I'm afraid they're in danger!" Bu Tong hurriedly pulled Bu Yiyang into the village.

The village hidden at the bottom of the mountain forest slope is quiet and peaceful, but now it is shrouded in a strange atmosphere, which is the smell of death, Bu Tong looked at the shallow blood marks on the stone road under his feet, and his heart was cold.

Along the place where the blood mark is slowly clear, it is the ancestral hall located in the center of the village, the ancestral hall is very large, there is a big archway outside, Bu Tong and Bu Yiyang entered, a cry sounded in the ears, heart-wrenching, heartbreaking.

Bu Tong was stunned, but he still stepped in, and the smell of blood and the smell of the corpse beginning to decompose came to his face, which made people feel cold.

The ancestral hall that should have been simple and dignified has now become a purgatory on earth, the corpses of the villagers are piled up in the courtyard on one side, as high as the wall, and the soles of the feet are full of viscous liquid, and the villagers who rushed back ignore the smell of the "corpse mountain", while crying bitterly while moving away from relatives, neighbors, and friends with their bare hands, they were all living beings who could cry and laugh, and now they are lying there coldly, twisting their bodies to stay in the last miserable posture.

Bu Tong hurriedly searched around, and finally saw Tang Xuanlin's figure in the hall, and hurriedly ran over, but it was Agui who caught his eyes, and his originally bright and shining eyes were now completely devoid of light, dim and helpless like a dying man, holding the body of an old man in his bloodstained arms, and a hideous cut was made on the old man's throat, and the bones were deep visible.

This should be Agui's grandmother, the old man who taught him the righteousness of "Knowing Grace and Repaying Kindness", as expected, is an elegant and temperamental old woman, dressed simply and cleanly, and can vaguely see the traces of careful washing, and her hair should have been pulled up in an elegant and steady bun, but now it is slightly scattered, and her face that should be kind and kind is frowning tightly.

This village has been slaughtered.

The person who started the attack was ruthless, and did not leave half of life.

Bu Tong's heart hurt very much, but he didn't care to comfort Agui, and hurriedly rushed to Tang Xuanlin's side,

"Xuanlin, it must be from the village."

This sentence without a beginning or end made the old tearful patriarch on the side confused, but Tang Xuanlin had already figured it out,

"Exactly, without the people of the village to lead the way, this village would not have been found."

The patriarch's bloodshot eyes widened, "What? Villagers? ”

Agui slowly looked up, "Niangniang, my lord, are you sure that you are from the village?" ”

Tang Xuanlin nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled Bu Tong behind him,

"I'm sure that if this is not the case, how could outsiders be so prepared to attack this village with such concealment? But please don't be impatient, don't startle the snake, I'll find out this guy. ”

Agui obediently lowered his head again, but Bu Tong saw his hand around Grandma slowly clenched into a fist and slowly burst out of green tendons, so he began to have a bold guess.

Bright young Agui, isn't it because of this disaster that he turned himself into the demon Xuanwu who kills people without blinking?

Wouldn't that be too tragic?

Tang Xuanlin whispered to Bu Tong,

"Hide behind me."

Bu Yiyang, who was on the side, decisively snatched his sister back and stuffed it behind him, "Thank you Lord Tang for your kindness, it's better for me to come by myself." ”

Bu Tong popped out of his head from behind Bu Yiyang,

"Xuanlin, brother is worried that the inner ghost will also make a hindrance and give birth to other disasters."

Tang Xuanlin thought about it, looked back at the patriarch,

"If you want to find out this inner ghost, you still need a little cooperation from the patriarch."

……

"Stop, stop," the patriarch cried as he stood on the steps and beckoned to the villagers in the courtyard who had laid the bodies apart.

Although everyone encountered misfortune, the obedience of the soldiers was still there, and they stopped to wipe away their tears and listened to the patriarch's next arrangement.

The patriarch looked at these people below, and tears fell again,

"I know that everyone is very difficult, but now that the matter has come to this point, we still have to cheer up, the dead are our dearest flesh and blood, we can't ask them to continue to be so hastily put into the ground, tomorrow I will go into the city to buy some coffins, everyone, everyone, everyone......"

The nearest person at the foot of the steps looked at the patriarch, his eyes full of sorrow, "We know that the patriarch has always been poor, and the only food has helped the orphans and widows in the village. ”

Everyone agreed, and ran home to take out the valuable items at the bottom of the box.

Tang Xuanlin wandered through the crowd, watching the people who came back one after another put some things such as copper pots, shovels, herbs, and mountain ore in the bamboo basket of the patriarch.

Suddenly, Tang Xuanlin grabbed the hand that a young man had withdrawn,

"What is this?"

The patriarch took out the thing that the young man had put aside, it was an earthy gray object similar to a hairpin, the patriarch looked at it for a while, lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped it a few times, and then revealed a piece of shining silver light, "This is ......"

"Silver hairpin," Tang Xuanlin tilted his head, "The people in the village don't have half a penny of silver at all, although this thing is not very valuable, but it is also a huge amount of money for you, where did you come from?" ”

The young man finally couldn't bear it, and fell to his knees in front of everyone and wept silently,

"Patriarch, it's all my fault, I fell into the trap of those people, hurt the whole clan, they originally said they were just curious about our village, so they asked me, and gave me this silver hairpin, I was bent on giving Ah Hua a serious dowry, so, so I ......"
