Chapter 54: The Mysterious Uninhabited Village (1)
When Huo Qingxin and Wen Xun were slowly returning to Yangzhou.
On the other side, Su Jianxiang and Wen Zhe, who were also on the way back, were also getting along with each other every day, and they were changing slightly.
Bashu is far away from Jiangnan, and Su Jianxiang's body is weak, so the speed of daily driving is very slow.
It is rare for Wen Zhe to have such a leisurely time, and he can see the scenery along the way.
He has a loose nature and doesn't care about trivial matters, but since Wen Xun ignored the affairs of the sect, in the past ten years, all the big and small affairs in the Medicine King Sect have been pressed on him.
If he hadn't come to Bashu this time, he wouldn't have remembered how many years ago it had been since he last went out.
The so-called stealing half a day of leisure is really thanks to Huo Qingxin's blessing this time, by sending medicine, he can relax a little, play in the mountains and rivers, and have a quiet picture.
Similarly, Su Jianxiang's temperament is also relatively quiet, she doesn't have too many requirements, and she won't make trouble for others.
Such an independent woman who relies on herself for everything is rare in Wen Zhe's opinion.
Now, most of their journey has been in the past, and in a few days, they will be able to reach the Jiangnan realm.
Earlier, he had received news from Wen Xun that Huo Qingxin had also left to return to Yangzhou.
Wen Xun also told him that he would stay at the rudder in Yangzhou for a while.
Receiving such news, Wen Zhe felt helpless again, and could only sigh in his heart, his brother is really big-hearted.
Leaving the huge Medicine King Sect alone, chasing a woman and living in a foreign country, this is simply too similar to his style.
Wen Zhe couldn't figure out whether his scheming brother was for the sake of Medicine King Dan, or because he was moved by compassion, so he wanted to stay in Yangzhou.
These can only be known when he arrives in Yangzhou and asks him.
And right now, he is also escorting, Su Jianxiang, who is also from Yangzhou.
I can't help but feel very funny! Their Wen brothers, what's the matter, are tied up by two women from the same place.
It's just that in Wen Zhe's heart, sending Su Jianxiang back is what he promised Huo Qingxin to do, and there are no other factors in it.
But for a man who has seen all the wind and snow, but has never touched the love between men and women, maybe even if he is in love, he will not know it immediately.
I'm afraid that by the day he really understands his mind, it will be too late.
Wen Zhe is such a person, he is very slow about love.
Although he is a suave and handsome man, he has never had a heart for any woman.
In his eyes, women are all the same, and there is no difference.
Because he is relatively easy-going, there are also many women who admire him in the Medicine King Sect.
But after many years, those women who admired him finally came to the same result.
That is, they all feel that Wen Zhe has no heart!
Because he is the same to everyone, he will not pay more attention to anyone, nor will he care more about anyone.
For the outside world to say that he had no heart, Wen Zhe just smiled.
He felt that there were many troubles in the affairs of men and women, so why bother to worry about it and take it to heart.
Only if you don't care, don't care, and don't pay attention, you will save a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Because in his opinion, love words hurt people and hurt by love, and it is an irreversible and irreparable thing.
There is a best example of this around him.
Wen Xun, Ji Chen, and Wen Linglong!
thinks that back then, the relationship between their brothers and sisters was so harmonious, but in the end, they lost both sides for the sake of a gentle and exquisite one.
The dead die, the walk, the seclusion.
It was when he saw these that he was reluctant to touch a love word.
So when Su Jianxiang asked him if he had ever fallen in love with someone, he couldn't answer.
What love is, he is very strange, because he has never had.
Sometimes, a person does not know love, perhaps because he has not met a person who teaches him to love.
When he has met, touched, and learned, the person who taught him in the first place will also leave.
This is the price ...
By this time, it was getting dark, and the carriage came to the vicinity of a small, deserted village.
And this will, from time to time there will be a rumbling thunder from a distance, and a heavy rain is also on the way.
Wen Zhe plans to find a local family to stay overnight and then leave the next day.
So he asked his subordinates to go to the neighborhood to check and investigate.
These subordinates were all arranged by Wen Xun before to find Huo Qingxin.
Except for Fengyang, who was anxious to leave, the rest of the people protected Wen Zhe and Su Jianxiang all the way, and followed them back with everything in order.
Someone arranged to take care of everything before and after, which saved Wen Zhe a lot of worry.
The two of their men had returned, and they had taken a look around the neighborhood and found that it was a deserted village with no people.
No wonder it was dark, and everywhere they went, they didn't see a single light.
Wen Zhe chose a household, the one closest to them, as a place to stay tonight.
When Su Jianxiang came out of the carriage and looked at the darkness around her, a chill couldn't help but arise from the bottom of her heart.
A few of his men had cleaned up a little in the room before they were about to go in.
After Wen Zhe and Su Jianxiang entered, there was finally a glimmer of light in this dark village.
It's just that when they all entered the house, they were all keenly aware of the slightest mistake.
Su Jianxiang looked around at everything in the house, the house in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, she had seen a lot, not to mention that before, she had been living in such a place.
I saw that in this room, the furnishings are very simple, and the things are not very shabby.
When I walked into the house, I didn't even smell it at all.
It doesn't look like a place where no one has lived for a long time.
Wen Zhe couldn't help but ask when he saw that she had been frowning and looking around.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? ”
At this time, Su Jianxiang had already walked to the table with the candlestick, and reached out to touch the table.
With only a few ashes on her hands, she didn't answer Wen Zhe's question immediately, but asked the other two men in the room.
"You just went to check and made sure that there is no one in this village?"
"Yes! Subordinates are confirmed! ”
They also find it a little strange.
At this time, the two hoes in the corner of the room attracted Su Jianxiang's attention.
After walking over and looking at it for a while, under the gaze of several people in the house, she slowly spoke.
"This place, there is a problem! We still have to be careful. ”
Wen Zhe's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a little appreciative expression, and asked knowingly.
"How so!"
He also noticed something strange when he entered the room just now.
Su Jianxiang just pretended to look away calmly, as if she wanted to ignore the gaze of the man, she didn't believe that this person would not find out.
Following his words, he replied, "There is not a trace of smell in this room, and even the dust on the table is very little, and it does not look like a place where no one has lived in a long time. Moreover, there was some dirt on the hoe in the corner, which had obviously been used before. In an ordinary person's home, the hoe is a very important tool for labor, even if the family has to move out, they will not forget to bring these important farm tools. ”
Therefore, she dared to conclude that this place had been inhabited not long ago.
How could it suddenly become a deserted village, there must be something strange in this.
When Wen Zhe heard this, he gradually retracted his gaze and slowly swayed behind Su Jianxiang.
"I knew that you were so good, but I didn't expect that your talent was so agile, I really admire it"
Wen Zhe only felt this compliment, and had no other meaning.
But in Su Jianxiang's ears, it inexplicably made her ears red, and her heartbeat was chaotic.
These days of getting along with each other made her gradually understand more and more about this man.
Whether it was his thoughtfulness or humor, he left a deep impression on her.
This journey is the most comfortable and relaxing moment for her in the past six months.
Along the way, Wen Zhe would tell her some interesting stories, and she would also say a few words of her own opinion.
The two talked and laughed happily, and the journey that they thought would be boring turned out to be full of fun.
At this time, Su Jianxiang, because of an illness, was in a completely different mood than before.
The whole person is like being reborn, she doesn't know that all this is because she has experienced this change, and she wants to open.
Or is it because of this man's companionship all the way, as well as his frequent enlightenment, that she has been pulled back to reality from the past.
No matter which one it is, Su Jianxiang's heart disease has been cured.
I have been healing alone for half a year, but I can't last more than ten days.
This is the wonderful life ...
At night, the thunder is getting louder and louder, and a heavy rain is inevitable.
Wen Xun wanted to take advantage of the rain to go out and investigate the situation of this strange village in person.
left two of his subordinates to protect Su Jianxiang, and he took a secret guard and left.
Before leaving, Su Jianxiang said with some concern.
"Be careful!"
Hearing this, the man, who was already about to step out of the room, paused, tilted his head slightly, and left a smile of Yushu in the wind to the people behind him.
"Don't worry! I'll be back soon, it's late at night, don't wait for me"
After saying that, the people also followed out of the house.
Leaving behind, Su Jianxiang, who blushed and heartbeat again.
This sentence is like a husband's explanation to his wife who is left alone at home before parting.
In a word, it's late at night, you don't have to wait for me, it completely messed up Su Jianxiang's heart.
Inside, the candlesticks on the table were lit with a faint yellow light.
Outside, on the edge of the sky, lightning and thunder roared, and the people in the room who listened were a little panicked.
What kind of secrets are hidden in the lonely nameless mountain village?
Because it was dark, they didn't see all kinds of crops growing in the fields near the village.
Four or five days ago, it was still full of smoke, and the bosses who lived here were still living the same pastoral life.
But all this peace was disrupted by a large group of people who suddenly broke in.
Overnight, entire villages, men, women and children, disappeared.
This is already the seventh village in the vicinity that suddenly disappeared, but it was accidentally encountered by Wen Zhe and his party.
At this time, Wen Zhe, who had already gone out to investigate the local terrain, after some investigation.
It was found that there were no traces of burning, killing and looting in all the farmers' homes, and even the owner's clothes were intact.
It's just that the people are gone.
And this, a small county town called Rongcheng, before that, something weird happened...
