Chapter 124: The Births of Despair (4)
Rub!
One of the silver-clad guards swung his sword fiercely.
Quack Quack ......
Two or three black birds were startled and sped away into the distance.
"I, I just heard a voice, so ......"
A young silver-clad guard smiled wryly.
"Be careful next time."
After Yue Yi frowned and said a word, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there are no real ghosts, everything is easy to say.
Wang Xu has been silently looking around, and the eye he saw just now, he confirmed that he was not wrong.
He ignored the farce on the side, but carefully looked at the wasteland under his feet.
Wang Xu looked at the path not far away, and then looked at the stone land under his feet, and his eyes flashed with different colors.
"Watch your step."
He said suddenly.
A group of people were a little dazed when they heard this.
Yue Yi's face suddenly changed, and he looked at his feet, as if he had thought of something, and his face immediately turned ugly.
Poof!
Lian Yuntian was even more decisive, and directly stabbed the ground under his feet.
As if sensing something, he directly pulled out the long knife in his hand, and unlike just now, the knife was shining with a touch of blood.
Suddenly, everyone's hearts sank.
"Alright."
Wang Xu's eyes were gloomy, "Go to the camp first, and then send someone over to investigate." ”
He led the people back to the convoy, and slowly, the convoy began to move forward again.
The black monster bird flew back again, chewing on the blood-colored pieces of flesh at the corners of its mouth.
………………
Not far from a village filled with gray mist, simple houses were stationed, and outside the door stood men in black with grim faces, holding swords in their hands.
In a relatively luxurious house in the middle, Wang Xu listened to the report of the person in front of him.
"The subordinates and others have unearthed several corpses, and the preliminary judgment is that they are the missing Master Exterminator and the dead soldiers he brought in."
Yue Yi suppressed the panic in his heart, and said one by one: "Our people took a few simple looks, and there was no obvious wound, that is, it was ......"
He took a few deep breaths, "It's just that the body of the official is seriously damaged, and the blood in the body is empty, and the overall corruption of the corpse is relatively serious. ”
Wang Xu nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand, and asked this person to retreat first.
He stood in front of the window and watched the scene in front of him.
At this time, although the sky is a little dark, you can see within 100 meters.
Looking at Chen Village, which was not far away, he found that he could only see a part of the houses and the plaque at the entrance of the village, but other than that, it was silent.
Wang Xu thought for a while, and then he didn't plan to bring too many people in.
In the case of Chen Village, unless the entire village can be filled, it will not play a decisive role, and it is better to settle outside the village, which may be of great use.
Suddenly, the mist in the distance suddenly rolled over, revealing a miserable white human face, staring at him with eyes staring straight at him, expressionless.
Wang Xu didn't dodge, but took the opportunity to look intently.
I saw that this person seemed to be wearing a dress that was quite expensive compared to ordinary villagers, standing quietly at the entrance of the village, and his body seemed to be a little bent forward.
Just as Wang Xu was calmly observing, the fog was surging again, and the figure quickly disappeared.
He looked at it indifferently for a while, and found that there were no other changes, so he got up and walked towards the outside world, preparing for people to prepare, and he would go to Chen Village early tomorrow morning to investigate.
………………
"Xiaoyu, where is your mother-in-law?"
Bai Yu was washing clothes by the well, and when she heard the voice, she raised her head and revealed an extremely beautiful face.
"Grandma Wang, my mother-in-law went out just now."
She wiped the splash from her forehead with her arm and smiled.
There was a few gossips outside.
"Alas...... Xiaoyu, this girl is really miserable. ”
"The man just left, and the mother-in-law looks like a ghost again."
"Isn't it, it's fate."
The clothes on the floor were rubbed white, and she was the only one in the dilapidated house washing three clothes, two women's clothes and one men's clothes.
Squeaky.
Syllable!
"Mother-in-law, you're back."
Xiaoyu stood up in a panic, "I'll finish washing the clothes right away, and then cook for you." ”
Syllable!
"Say! Are you stealing men again! ”
The hoarse voice remembered.
At the same time, Xiao Yu's right cheek quickly turned red, she covered her face and didn't dare to say anything, lowered her head and shrunk her neck, obviously very scared.
"Humph!"
As the footsteps came to mind, the door was pushed open, revealing the dusty furniture inside.
Xiaoyu quickly squatted down and sobbed silently.
However, it was not long before she picked up her clothes and washed them.
An eye appeared at the window behind her, and after glancing at her a few times, she muttered to herself, "My son, don't worry, as long as I am here, nothing will happen." ”
Outside, at the edge of the house, stood a few blackbirds, tending their messy feathers with their beaks while watching the smoke in the distance.
There are no people anywhere near and far, and it looks very desolate.
A few steps further, there was a slightly atmospheric house, from which the smoke of the cooking had just come from, but strangely, there was no sound of speaking, and only a faint wheezing sound came out if you listened carefully.
Tread, step, step.
Xiao Yu walked over in small steps, and as she passed by the house, she slowed down more and more, and her body trembled a little.
She stole a glance at the smoke in the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked over.
"I have to pick some vegetables for my mother-in-law and cook."
Xiao Yu thought to herself, pinched the vegetable basket in her wrist, and her steps became faster and faster.
As the weather became darker and darker, the fog in the village became thicker and thicker, but it seemed that for the people in the village, this fog did not exist, and they continued to live as usual, even more lively than during the day.
Eventually, as darkness fell, the whole village was completely immersed in the mist, and although it was not enough to reach out and not see its fingers, it was also very difficult to see.
Xiaoyu turned around and walked back, the basket was filled with a bunch of things, covered with a clean white cloth.
She pushed open the door and walked in, "Mother-in-law, I'm starting to cook." ”
Bang!
There was a loud sound in the back room, and a hand was exposed, "You want to starve me, an old woman, so that you can go find the next one, don't you?!" ”
"No, mother-in-law, you listen to me."
Bang!
The door slammed shut, and there were several intermittent sounds begging for mercy in the room.
Xiao Yu covered her face and staggered out, sobbing and thinking about going to the back kitchen.
"It's okay, my mother-in-law will be fine in the future."
She comforted herself, burst into tears and smiled, and began to cook.
As the smoke rises, the smell of meat wafts through the house.
