Time is pressing, and the promised 36 hours have now consumed a third. Counting the cost of the return trip, in fact, there is not much time left for Tang Songyuan.

What about this concept~

The two squads that traveled with him, plus faceless assistants, a total of 22 people, also knew. So, as soon as they got back to the tent, they proposed: take a short rest and set off immediately.

In their words:

“SIR~

You can always sleep in the car! We help you to flatten and thicken the rear cargo box to ensure that you sleep comfortably! As for us, you don't have to worry about it... Professional armed men sleep a little less from time to time, it's okay! ”

…

Originally, according to the route, it was no problem to camp around Xiangping that night.

The problem is that in that Orion gathering area, everyone's rest time is wasted.

It was supposed to be a 6-hour break...

As a result, it is now equivalent to saying that some people go to work during their rest time; while others are only responsible for the station; There are also some people who have been talking for hours...

That being said.

But it's not completely unrewarded.

By mistake, at least, let Tang Songyuan and his entourage, probably, understand the current situation of Xiangping. All in all, the hunters all said that the people of Xiangping were dead.

em~

That's right.

Orions, they don't feel like they're from Xiangping.

Because there is no sense of belonging and identity; Even, when they go to Xiangping County and Township to sell prey, they may be accused of "witchcraft harming the people"!

Who called the natural and man-made disasters continue in these years!?

You must know that the first person to invent the "story of the wolf grandmother" was the Han people!

The earliest version was called "Tiger Po Zi"... As long as a woman lives a long life, especially a widowed woman, it is to eat children and eat out!

Similarly...

If a village encounters misfortune, it is caused by foreign evil magic!

Therefore, as an Orion, it is often difficult to get along with the "Confucian sedentary group". Unless, this Orion is a local native of the "partial talent".

Ahem~

Straight to the point.

The information provided by the old 8 members of the Orion clan, as well as the later Orion women, all showed that as early as a month ago, there was no one living in this area within a radius of 5 miles.

They also guess that people are "dead" based on past experiences~ because they have seen it many times, that is, the house is still smoking in the morning, and in the afternoon, there is no smoke...

They have also seen waves of displaced people.

There are those to the north and those to the east, but I haven't seen anyone enter the county.

The Orion clan elder also persuaded: Don't go to the surrounding areas of the county.

One is that the grain conscription team hunts the living; Two... I can't see the tragic condition of those corpses.

"If you see it, will you take the body, or will you not accept it? The woman with white stripes died tragically on the couch, her lower body was filthy, and her limbs were incomplete... And the bones that were left in the urn...

Are you buried or not?

Not buried?

How safe is your heart!? ”

…

After a short rest, the 23-person convoy regrouped and set off rushed to the northern suburbs of Xiangping, a deserted farm facing the river on three sides.

The reason why it is said to be a farm is that the two motorcycles that came out of the front found a building similar to a "tuncang". Moreover, the misdirection of the snow is discharged, and the boundary markers of the fields and acres can be vaguely seen.

After setting up the light source, taking the barn as the origin, and looking around the radius of 1km again, I also found the "landlord's house" and "the chief's house" in turn...

So the convoy hurried and went straight to the landlord's farm!

(The courtyard of the governor's house, only the granary has no courtyard)

During the "rush", the north wind became stronger, and in turn, fluffy snowflakes began to fall. Halfway through, a motorcycle also fell into the ash accumulation pit...

…

…

The so-called landlord's courtyard, in fact, to put it bluntly, is just that the wall of the yellow mud courtyard is slightly higher, the courtyard covers an area of slightly larger, and the main building in the courtyard is a brick structure... The courtyard gate is a high gate carved from wood...

Nothing more!

Speaking of this courtyard gate~

When Tang Songyuan and his entourage came to the door of the landlord's house, the reason why they could still be identified was because of the yellow mud wall that was one person high on the left and right, and only here could be entered and exited.

As for the door itself, only the wooden door frame raised on the left and right remains.

Look at the ground again, the signs of being covered in snow...

This gate was also tiled...

But in the end, the remaining wooden frame was also demolished by the mercenaries!

Because the door is too narrow, the electric car can't get in...

The door is being demolished outside the courtyard here, and over there, Tang Songyuan and the 10 faceless people have already broken straight into the courtyard. Because Tang Songyuan was familiar with the architectural styles of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, the lack of light did not affect Tang Songyuan's coming to the inner courtyard (North Garden).

Well~

All right!

The layout of the village shows that the owner of this household must be a scholar. Otherwise, the home buildings of ordinary rich peasants generally do not pay so much attention to "front, middle and back (north, middle and south)".

However, most of the buildings in the inner courtyard were crushed by the snow, just like the front courtyard and the middle courtyard! Many lonely log pillars stood upright...

At this time, Tang Songyuan realized the concept of "covering his head without a piece of tile". It's also ~ just now, isn't the way to judge a "big family" be "counting the pillars"!

Hehe~

commanded the faceless people to rummage through the back hall of the inner courtyard and the left and right wings for a while, and sure enough, in the snow-covered ruins of the left wing, they really found a pair of corpses hugging each other.

There are no external injuries, and they have long been frozen.

Fortunately, their hairstyles are not too messy, and they can distinguish between men and women. However, their clothes have been frozen, and they are all blue and blue linen fabrics, and they can't see the style, but they can see at a glance that they are very thin.

A young man and a woman, with a crude identity but able to hug each other and freeze to death, and there are baggage around them, which shows that they fled with refugees, but they were separated and hid here.

As a result, he was frozen to death...

And before the house collapsed in the snow, no one knew they were here...

It is estimated that the owner of this village is long gone.

or fled; Or for some other reason, he was taken away by his family.

…

After the mercenaries parked their electric cars and motorcycles in the front yard in an orderly manner, they set up the light source again. At the same time, they were divided into groups: tents were set up, reconnaissance and sentry posts were set up.

With a high and bright light source, the "excavation" work of Tang Songyuan and the faceless people has also been accelerated. Subsequently, the mercenaries, who had been busy for a while, also began to search the entire village courtyard according to Tang Songyuan's command.

In the end, in addition to the embracing corpses, many metal utensils, broken silks, bamboo scrolls, maps, ribbons, famous stickers, letters and draft paper were also found in the whole courtyard...

Since there is not much time, the corpse can only be left in place!

(Don't worry about them turning into ghosts)

However, Tang Songyuan seized the time and took a cursory look at all the objects with words. Some bamboo rolls and bamboo pieces, Tang Songyuan only glanced at them, and then threw them aside...

This includes, for example, what scriptures and what books.

In the end, when Tang Songyuan finished reading a letter, the only thing he could confirm was that the owner of this village, surnamed Qi Zi Xuan, had been a county magistrate in Muping County, Donglai County for a long time.

Among those who corresponded with him was Gongsun Mo...

Looking at these worthless things that have been "excavated", Tang Songyuan guessed that this big family should have been "raided" very early!

…

"Hey! If you can get the county chronicle, you don't have to bother! ”

Shrinking in the tent in the front yard, Tang Songyuan smoked and sighed, and said this casually. Frightened, the faceless people thought that he was planning to "kill" the county...

In the next second, I heard Tang Songyuan's broken thoughts:

"That's it! These bamboo slips can be sold to universities in mainland China... Or sell it to a research institute that engages in history... How to say, these Eastern Han Dynasty readings can also play a role in comparing the ancient books of the Song and Ming dynasties.

As for those maps, copper spittoons, copper bedpans, etc., they will be auctioned off to the ignorant rich merchants on the mainland! You don't have to sell it as an antique...

I think about it, or according to the town house to ward off evil spirits... Come on the idea of feng shui yin and yang~"

…

After a 2-hour break, it was also dawning.

Tang Songyuan and his entourage, before setting off again, used the radio to contact the agents of Xiangping Station. And the agents were not surprised at all that Tang Songyuan suddenly appeared in the Xiangping Realm.

The head of the agent said: The 01A base, once it knew Tang Songyuan's movements, at first, planned to contact Tang Songyuan directly. But considering Tang Songyuan's safety, he contacted Xiangping Station first.

Moreover, the agents of Xiangping Station, who were instructed, were not idle.

On the one hand, they guessed that Boss Tang would contact them; On the other hand, they are also rummaging for information as much as possible.

Well~

Yes!

The agents of Xiangping Station have never heard of the place name "Jiahe Township"!
