Enter the village
The rich cannon rolled out like a ball again, and Shaoqing panted and handed a map to Mu Bai, who waved his hand to let the rich cannon rest. Turning around and checking the map with Cao Tieyi, Mu Bai pointed to the location of Xiangshi Village and said, "Let's go to Xiangshi Village first this time." β
Fu Dacang's face changed greatly and said: "Thisγγγ this, I'm afraid my lord won't be able to go to Xiangshi Village, the road to Xiangshi Village has been flooded by the recent high tide of the river, so my lord should go to other villages to see." β
Mu Bai sneered: "Mayor Fu doesn't lie to me that I don't understand hydrometeorology, I have only heard of the high tide in spring and the high tide in summer, how can the tide rise if this autumn is not the rainy season?!"
Sweat broke out on Fu Cannon's face, and he took out a box from his body and handed it to Mu Bai and said, "Everything the adults want is here, and there is no longer any barrenness in Baoqi Town." β
Mu Bai opened the box and found that it contained an ingot of gold and silver, and immediately threw the box on the ground angrily and shouted: "I asked you about Xiangshi Village, what do you mean by giving me this silver!"
Fu Cannon knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "My lord, you only came here last month, Baoqi Town is barren, and the villain really can't make up the money." β
Mu Bai glanced at Cao Tieyi, lowered his head and asked Fu Cannon, "In the past, did the post governor come to inspect to ask for silver?"
Fu Cannon kowtowed on the ground and said: "In the past, the postmaster would collect silver taels from me every time he came, according to the number of villages, but this time the adults came too often, and the villain couldn't make up so much silver in a short time." β
Mu Bai comforted: "Don't worry, I'm not here to ask you for money." And I ask you whether this money is to be handed over according to the rules of leaving the city, or if they have collected it themselves. β
Fu Cannon knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said: "These are all in the post governor's own pocket, if we don't pay them, if we encounter any natural and man-made disasters, they will not report it, so that we will not be able to leave the city." β
Mu Bai picked up the rich cannon and said: "It seems that the postmaster is a big rat, I must report this matter to the city lord, and there will be no postmaster in the future." β
Fu Dacang looked at Mu Bai in disbelief and said, "If the adult can abolish the postal governor system, the entire people who have left the city will thank the adult." β
Mu Bai took the map again and asked, "Don't worry about these for now, let's talk about the affairs of Xiangshi Village." β
Fu Dacang immediately knelt down and said: "My lord, I can't atone for my sins, I really can't go to Xiangshi Village." Mu Bai asked, "Why is that?" Fu Cannon said: "Xiangshi Village is gone. β
Mu Bai asked strangely: "Xiangshi Village is fine, why is it gone?"
Fu Cannon wiped the sweat from his face and said: "A month ago, there were man-eating beasts in Xiangshi Village, and the hunters went to several batches and all died tragically. Later, there was a merchant from Xiangshi Village who was lying on the border of Xiangshi Village covered in blood and was rescued, and the hunter went crazy after being rescued, so we sent someone to Xiangshi Village to find the merchant's family. But at that time, there was a white fog on the way to Xiangshi Village, and some of those people who went to Xiangshi Village got lost in the fog and turned back, and some never came back, and Xiangshi Village seemed to have disappeared from the map, and people could no longer find it. β
Mu Bai asked, "Why didn't you report such a big thing?"
Fu Cannon said with a wry smile: "I reported it to the postmaster a month ago, but there has been no news until now. β
Mu Bai slapped the table and said, "Let's settle this matter today, you take us to Xiangshi Village to have a look." β
When Fu Dacang heard that he was going to Xiangshi Village, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My lord, this Xiangshi Village is really weird, and it is better for my lord to report to leave the city and invite someone to come here to solve it." β
Cao Tieyi pointed at Mu Bai and said, "Don't panic, Mr. Mu is a Confucian disciple, and he is here to deal with these Laoshzi demons and monsters." β
After hearing this, Fu Dacang said with admiration on his face: "It turns out that the adult is a Confucian disciple, and I know that the adult is the dragon and phoenix among the people as soon as I look at the adult." β
Mu Bai knocked on the rich cannon and said, "Don't be long-winded, hurry up and arrange for us to go to Xiangshi Village." β
Fu Cannon looked at the sky and said hesitantly: "My lord, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, why don't we go again tomorrow." β
Mu Bai walked out of the lobby, and the rich cannon hurriedly followed, Mu Bai looked at the sky and said, "It's just dark, maybe you can find some information that you don't usually have." β
Fu Da Cannon said with a flattering smile on his face: "Presumably, the two adults haven't eaten yet, so it's better for the villain to wash the dust for the two adults." β
Mu Bai turned his head to look at the rich cannon and said, "Fu cannon, are you afraid?"
Fu Dacang hurriedly waved his hand and said with a dry smile: "Hahahahaγγγ how can it be, I'm not afraid that adults will work hard all the way, and I'm afraid of being tired of adults." β
Mu Bai touched his stomach and felt a little hungry, and said, "Then you can just equip some light food, we must go to Xiangshi Village today." β
Fu Cannon squeezed out a smile and said, "Hey, hey, I'll prepare dinner for the two adults." With that, he walked away.
After the rich cannon left, Cao Tieyi said with admiration: "Mr. Mu is really clever, he found such an important clue as soon as he came, and nine times out of ten this demon incident is related to this township stone village." β
Mu Bai pondered: "It is indeed very likely that there is a connection with the demons who left the city, but I have never heard of such a thing as making the entire village disappear before, it is incredible." β
Cao Tieyi groaned: "It is indeed dangerous to enter the village this time. Why don't I repair a book and leave the city, and let the city send someone to help. β
Mu Bai waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's wait until we have a preliminary check on the situation." While speaking, Fu Cannon had already ordered people to prepare good food, and Mu Bai and Cao Tieyi ate some food indiscriminately and prepared to leave. Seeing the rich cannon at the door, a bunch of people were waiting.
The corners of Mu Bai's mouth twitched, and he looked at the rich cannon in the front row of the crowd and said, "These are?" The rich cannon said with a smile on his face: "Tell my lord, this is the entourage who will go to Xiangshi Village with you, here are the best doctors, hunters, craftsmen, and martial artists in Baoqi Townγγγγ and even the maidservants I have picked for the two adults." β
Mu Bai said with a dark face: "We're not going to travel, why are you messing up these people." Just leave one to lead the way, and the rest will be scattered. β
Fu Cannon hurriedly dispersed the crowd, whispered a few words in his ear, and then said with a smile: "My lord, this is the hunter in our town who knows Xiangshi Village best, and he will be fine with you." The other two maidservants are clean girls, are you sure you don't want to bring them?"
Mu Bai's face turned slightly red and waved his hand: "Go, go, go, what are you and me, let them go back and forth from where." The rich cannon resigned himself and led the two delicate girls away.
Mu Bai looked at the Orion in front of him and asked, "What's your name?" Orion replied honestly: "My lord, the villain's name is Zhang Xiaowu." β
Mu Bai nodded and said, "If you encounter danger on this road, you can leave on your own, don't think about the two of us." β
Zhang Xiaowu knelt down and kowtowed: "The two adults should call the younger ones, the mayor of Fu Town has already told me just now that he will take care of my wife and children." β
Mu Bai didn't expect that the rich cannons had already been arranged, and said: "You send us to the misty border and wait for us outside, if we don't come back within seven days, you can leave by yourself." β
Zhang Xiaowu nodded. Cao Tieyi pointed to the road ahead and said, "You can lead the way now." Zhang Xiaowu echoed and took the two of them closer to the depths of the forest.
