Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Strange Village

"Is that really the case?" Lan Yu asked Chu Liu's flue. Chu Liuyan had no choice but to nod.

Lan Yu said: "Miss Chu is like this, it's just too bad for me Lan Yu is a friend, although Lan Yu's swordsmanship and martial arts are not too good, she was once defeated by Miss Chu, but to help Miss Chu save people, there is always one more person to take care of." "Lan Yu's martial arts are much higher than Chu Liuyan, and he said this is really a polite statement. It's just that his interrogation sword has indeed been confiscated by Guo Zixing, which makes his kung fu more or less discounted.

Chu Liuyan saw that Lan Yu insisted on saving people with him, so he didn't push back, and said, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”

The little dog lay on the ground, roasted his hands over the fire, and said, "Go, I won't go." You are all chivalrous and can do kung fu, I am unarmed, and you still have to take care of me. Although my little dog is not sensible, he will never cause you any trouble. You don't have to worry about me, go on your own, and let me fend for myself here. Lan Gongzi, your burden is also heavy, why don't I help you watch it first and wait for you to come back. ”

Lan Yu was almost fooled by the puppy's high-sounding rhetoric. Chu Liuyan used the scabbard of the Bishui Sword to hit the little dog's back hard, and scolded: "Little dog, do you lead the way?" If you don't lead the way, I'll kill you right now. The little dog was afraid, so he got up and led the two men to the rooster village, muttering along the way, saying that the two men would definitely die this time, and that they would pull him on his back.

The little dog always exaggerated, and the Rooster Village was only thirty miles away from the City God Temple, not as far as he said it was sixty miles. The three of them walked for less than half a day before they arrived at the entrance of the village of Rooster Village. The little dog refused to go inside, his eyes were full of fear, and he said, "You don't know how terrible the people in this village are. My little dog is not a good person, but I never eat human flesh, and when the people in this village are hungry, they will cook people and eat them. I think my sister and my mother have been eaten by them a long time ago. ”

Chu Liuyan glanced at him and said, "You said yesterday that they were going to burn your mother and your sister to sacrifice to the gods, why did you cook and eat them today?" ”

The little dog said very aggrievedly: "These people are inhumane, what do they do, how can I know." ”

Chu Liuyan looked up at the sky, and seemed to think of something in his heart. She said to Lan Yu, "Lan Gongzi, have you found out?" Today is the night of the full moon, and most people have to wait until the night of the full moon if they hold any sacrifices or the like. If I had been right, most of the people in this village would have waited until the evening to set fire to the people. We might as well linger around here until evening, and then quietly enter the village while it is dark. ”

Lan Yu couldn't help but look at Chu Liuyan with admiration, and praised: "Miss Chu, you are really extremely smart and strategic. Just do as you say. So the three of them hid in a haystack by the side of the road and ate some dry food.

Soon, night fell, the moon in the sky was bright and the stars were scarce, a bright moon like a jade disk rose from the east, and the heaven and earth were bright and clean, and they were as beautiful as silver frost.

Chu Liuyan, Lan Yu, and Little Dog came out of the grass and walked towards the village. The houses in the village are dilapidated, as if they have not been repaired in decades. What is even more puzzling is that they walked for a long time, and no one was seen, and the houses were all black and winter, and none of them were lit up.

Chu Liuyan felt as if he had entered a netherworld hell, the atmosphere was very weird, and he felt a little creepy in his heart. Why does a good village look empty? What's the mystery in this?

Chu Liuyan asked the little dog softly, "Little dog, are you sure it's this village?" It looks like there's no one in it. The little dog shook his head like a rattle, his body trembled like chaff, and said, "Miss Chu, it's right that this village is right, I have lived here for several years. But...... But I don't know why this village has become like this...... How is it like a ghost village, when I escaped yesterday, there were still many people here, and those people were more fierce than the other...... Ahh.......h What did I step on? ”

The little dog screamed in fright, he held his head high, not daring to look down, Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu glanced at it, and their hearts suddenly cooled: it turned out that the little dog had just stepped on a corpse. Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu looked around in the bright moonlight, only to find that there were many people lying around the houses in the village. Those people didn't move, they must have been dead for a long time.

These corpses seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, startling Chu Liuyan, Lan Yu, and the little dog. The puppy trembled and said, "I..... I just noticed a lot of people lying down, I thought...... I didn't expect it to be a dead man...... Wow...... There must be a youkai here, so let's get out of the way. ”

Chu Liuyan scolded the little dog and said: "In such a situation, you should first go to see if your mother and your sister are still alive, just care about running for your life, what kind of man are you." If you chirp again, I'll leave you here and leave you alone. Chu Liuyan's words really worked, and the little dog didn't even dare to take a breath.

The further the three of them walked, the road became more and more open, and more and more people died around them. Chu Liuyan walked up to a corpse, took a closer look, and said to Lan Yu, "The people here have all been killed. ”

"Killed?" Lan Yu was slightly surprised: "Miss Chu, you said someone came to slaughter the village?" Chu Liuyan nodded solemnly and said, "Yes." ”

"But well, who will come to slaughter the village?" Lan Yu was a little incredulous, "If it is said that for the sake of wealth, this village looks poor, not like a robber robbery. Moreover, robbers and robbers will not wipe out the entire village. Could it be that there is some secret in this village? ”

Chu Liuyan's voice was cold and cold, as cold as flying frost: "Now let's look around, maybe there are still some living people who survived, and it is important for us to save people first." As for the side matters, it's not too late to think about it later. ”

"Okay." Lan Yu responded. So they walked around the village, even in every house, and worked tirelessly until the middle of the night, but they found not a single one. Chu Liuyan only felt that sadness came from it, and said hatefully: "I don't know who it is, I am so ruthless, I don't even let go of the old and young women and children." Such a person will definitely die a good death! ”

In the face of this situation, no matter who it is, there is also resentment in the heart. Lan Yu held back his anger and comforted Chu Liuyan for a long time. Chu Liuyan said: "Maybe if I came a day earlier, the people here wouldn't have died." ”

"Not necessarily, if you had come a day earlier, you might have died." The little dog muttered quietly, and suddenly jumped up as if he remembered something: "I know where there are still living people!" Among the people we just saw, there was not my mother and my sister. After saying that, he had already rushed to the front. Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu followed closely.

The little dog circled around and came to a high platform tens of meters long and said, "This is the sacrificial platform in their village." In normal times, when the sacrifice is to be made, the person used for the sacrifice will be locked in the dungeon under the sacrificial altar first. As long as the people who slaughtered the village were not from our village, they would not have thought of this. After saying that, he began to look around the high platform for the entrance to the dungeon, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu also searched around, but they didn't find it. Lan Yu asked, "Little dog, are you mistaken?" ”

The little dog shook his head quickly: "I can't be mistaken, I saw several sacrifices, and the old village chief got people out of it." Those people were carried out like flying every time, and when they came out, they were automatically tied to that pillar, and they could be set on fire below. But where the entrance to the dungeon is, only the old village chief knows. Sacrifice is a sacred thing, and they always make a lot of mysteries. The puppy pouted.

Chu Liuyan flashed two words "organ" in her heart, she observed the pillar that tied people, and immediately understood. She went to the pillar, and sure enough, she found an extra piece of iron on it, and she broke it with all her might, and then she saw the floor in the middle of the platform parting on both sides, and then three men were tied up and hung up to the pillar. They tied people up with something like a pulley, and Chu Liuyan had seen the application of pulleys in her mother's codex, so she quickly figured out the reason and rescued the three people in the dungeon.

Blue Jade cut the rope and lowered the three of them. Among the three people, there is indeed a little dog's mother and sister, and there is a very strong and fat man, about twenty years old.

"Puppy, why are you back?" The little dog's mother was originally depressed, but when she saw the little dog, her eyes lit up, and she hugged her son and whimpered and cried. The little dog's sister was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was very good-looking, and she stood there alone, secretly wiping her tears.

The big guy yelled, "What's going on? What's going on? What about my grandfather? Who are you? ”

"Who are you?" Lan Yu asked, "Why are you inside?" ”

Before he could answer, the little dog had already preemptively said, "I know who he is, he is that Tanghe." It was this bastard who caught me last time, and I managed to escape..... Oh, I said don't cry first, mother, it made me snot and tears....."
