40. The scenery in the white stone mountain is different
The situation in the town can't be ignored, the weather is so hot, so many people have died, if you let it go, it will not be good if there is an epidemic.
Lin Xuan and Lin Cao went to a nearby village to hire people and collected the corpses of the town.
I couldn't tell who was who, so I had to dig a big pit and burn all the corpses.
"There are so many bandits, as long as they have passed, there must be signs, and they have come to burn and loot, and they must have brought their belongings, ask all the way, you can find them sooner or later, you go and send a letter to your uncle, and see if you can get help from local officials."
The two men mounted their horses again and went forward.
β¦β¦
"Ouch, it's terrible, do you know, the people in Qinghe Town are gone, and it's an empty town." An uncle drove the ox cart, and in the back sat a few women who were going to the next town.
"Isn't it, I also went to Qinghe Town the day before yesterday, and I was thinking about the price of eggs in Qinghe Town, each egg is more than the next town, who knows, there is no one in Qinghe Town, how can you say that the people in this whole town are gone." This is the case with a woman carrying a basket of eggs.
A woman sitting on the other side of the cart said, "Could it be haunted...... and then flinched, "It's terrible." β
The others also shrunk their necks, "You can't talk nonsense." β
Lin Xuan followed behind a few people, listened to the words of a few people, and stepped forward to ask, "How many aunts, but are the villagers near Qinghe Town?" β
Those people were a little puzzled, "Yes, girl, are you going to Qinghe Town?" Don't go, there's no one in town. β
Lin Xuan's eyes added a little naΓ―ve doubt, "Why, such a big town, why don't you say it's gone." β
Speaking of this, she also had two points of excitement on her face, "Don't you know, the good man in the town is my uncle, my father asked me to find my uncle to go home, and my grandfather is going to celebrate his birthday." β
The surname Wang is too common.
There's hardly anywhere that doesn't.
Therefore, Lin Xuan used the name of Wang Shanren, and there was a high chance that there would be no problems.
Moreover, everyone in the town is dead, and it is impossible for Wang Shanren to jump out and say that Lin Xuan is not his niece.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Shanren's name was mentioned, several women shouted, "Oh, but the Wang Shanren who runs a grocery store at home? That's a good guy, let's go to him and sell things, and we'll make up the fraction. It's a shame to be such a nice person. β
Lin Xuan asked her, "What's wrong aunt, I just came here, and I don't know what happened, why do you say it's a pity." β
The woman who sold the eggs tightened the eggs into her bosom before she spoke, "Hey, I don't know which god killed it, the whole town was killed, hey, that poor guy, I can't believe it." β
Lin Xuan's face showed a look of surprise, fear, and sadness at the right time, and he didn't know how she did it.
"Auntie, is this true? Who can have such great ability, such a big town, and all the people are gone? That...... Isn't my uncle ...... Gone? β
The woman holding the egg sighed a little when she saw that a little girl was heartbroken.
"Hey, good boy, don't be upset." As he spoke, he took Lin Xuan's hand, "You...... Come home, children's families are not safe outside. β
Lin Xuan cried, he really cried when he cried, "Auntie...... Woo woo, I... My grandfather is still alive...... Uncle is gone, how can I tell my grandfather when I go home... Woooooooo "Okay
It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.
Even the other women in the ox cart were a little reluctant and spoke out to comfort her.
Lin Xuan sniffed, stopped crying, pulled the woman who went to sell eggs just now, and said, "Auntie, the town is so big, there is really no one left?" This shouldn't be, who can have such great ability, no one in the whole town ran out, it must be bandits, right, there must be a lot of bandits, right. β
Hey, as soon as these words came out, someone over there began to pat his head and say, "Hey, girl, you said this, I suddenly remembered, was there a caravan who claimed to be a caravan a few days ago, and passed by us." β
"Yes, yes, it is said that it is a caravan from all over the world, but looking at those people, they are all not easy to mess with, all of them are big-shouldered and round-waisted, and they don't look like caravans at all.
"As soon as you say that, I also remembered that the chickens of the Li Chang's family were killed by those people, and they didn't give the silver at the beginning, and they broke the leg of the Li Chang's son, which is really scary."
"Hey, do you think it's going to be these people, anyway, I don't look like a serious caravan, where can the caravan have no goods, I saw that they didn't bring any goods when they came, but when they left, they didn't know where to get things, a lot."
Lin Xuan's heart moved, he came, and sure enough, these people had seen it.
"Auntie, are you telling the truth, do you know where this caravan went? I... I'll have to check and see if they're really bandits. β
Several aunts are ordinary people, and when they heard her say this, they hurriedly stopped, "Girl, don't dare to go, if those people are really bandits, they are outlaws, and if the girl's life is hurt at that time, your uncle will definitely not want to see it in the spirit of the sky." β
Lin Xuan had no choice but to comfort a few more people, "Auntie, don't worry, my father has an old relationship with the county magistrate, and he will call a few county officials to go with me when the time comes." β
A few aunts were relieved, "I look like I'm going to Baishi Mountain." β
Lin Xuan thanked a few people, and then took Lin Cao and set off for Baishi Mountain.
"The scenery in the White Rock Mountains is different. Mr. is thinking about it every day. What's the matter with Huanggang flying in the snow......"
Lin Cao turned his head to look at Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan pursed his lips and said, "I have seen this Baishi Mountain in a book, let's find a local person and ask carefully." β
There is only one village at the foot of the mountain, and there are not many people in the village, and they are all elderly.
Lin Xuan glanced at it and then turned his head and left with Lin Cao.
Lin Cao was a little puzzled, "Sister, didn't you say to ask a local, why did you leave?" β
Lin Xuan glanced at him, and only after leaving the village did he whisper, "Are you stupid, do you see if there are young people in this village?" β
Lin Cao shook his head.
Lin Xuan nodded his head and said, "How can half a young person in a village not be able to see it, think about where those young people have gone." β
"Could it be that Chengdu went up to the mountains to be a bandit?"
Lin Xuan nodded.
This bandit leader has an idea, so that a group of elderly people in the bandits' den live at the bottom of the mountain.
In case there are really officers and soldiers who come to suppress the bandits, the people below are special spies, who can just go to ventilate and report the news.
