It was early in the morning, the dewy flowers and plants were blooming red in the crimson light of the morning sun, Feiyue stood in the ruins of the village and looked at the sky at the end of the grassland, but the red sun on the horizon did not understand the killing of yesterday.

"Humans seem to have always been happy with this kind of thing, since my time, and still are!" Earl walked through the ruins, looking left and right, as if looking for clues from yesterday, but in this respect, he was still far inferior to Hotaru, a professional assassin.

"It's a temptation to control your life, and it's the same to control your destiny, but whether it's a little higher to control your life, or a little higher to control your destiny, you have to ask Aix!" Fei Yue didn't try to find any traces like Earl did, because she knew that she couldn't be sharper than Hotaru in this regard, so Fei Yue began to do what she could, and began to perform a simple requiem ritual for the dead souls who had already died, at least to return these poor people who had been killed to their own end.

The sun gradually became brighter, and it came from the city at the end of the grassland, but it could only cast a haze that was even greater than the city, this haze crossed the hills, crossed the stream, swept over the heads of the flowers and plants, and reached the heart of Fei Yue, this was an indescribable sadness, this was still her territory, her country, but in the end it was still impossible to avoid such a killing.

"Did you find anything?" asked Hotaru as she returned to her side.

"There's a cave over there, and some women and children are hiding in it, and they haven't woken up yet!" Returning to Fili's range, Hotaru could no longer speak directly to Fei Yue as before, so she bowed slightly, but Fei Yue was stunned after seeing this sudden etiquette.

"Huh?" Hotaru saw that Feiyue didn't respond for a long time, so she asked again.

"No, it's nothing, you don't have to be so polite to me, and there's no one here, is it?" Fei Yue shook her head slightly, and in the sunlight, her golden green hair was like the light of a fire in a winter furnace, "Earl too, just call me Fei Yue!" Immediately, Fei Yue added.

"Yes!" both replied at the same time.

Then, Hotaru led the way, leading Feiyue and Earl to the cave she had discovered, which was a hollow in the leeward part of a small hill, not so much a cave as an imperceptible hidden resting place, because it was just a depression, and the blades of grass on the top hung down, and the blades of grass growing upwards below, almost completely covered the depression, and it was difficult to detect that there was such a hidden place if you didn't go to the side.

But even so, the number of people that can be accommodated in the depression is still very limited, because it is not like a cave extending inward, and the people hiding inside are at most about five according to Fei Yue's calculations, and three of them are children, an old woman and a young mother, the children are surrounded by the old woman and the mother, the mother's back has been wet with dew, and the old woman in the back is covered in mud, perhaps because of the excessive fright last night, the five people are still asleep, and even the three of Fei Yue have not woken up when they came to the side.

In this way, Feiyue stood quietly and waited for a while, and sent Hotaru to track down the whereabouts of the bandits, when they were on the mountain, they saw from a distance that there were horseback riders, since there were horseback riders, then they would inevitably leave hoof prints, and according to the corpses and souls in the village, I am afraid that they also captured the young girls and middle-aged men in the village as slaves or servants, so that even if the traces left behind were completely absent, with Hotaru's tracking ability, it was not difficult to find the stronghold of the bandits along the vine.

While waiting, the sun climbed into the middle of the sky again, until it was tilted to the extent that it could enter the depression through the dew of the flowers and plants, and the sleeping survivors inside slowly woke up.

Driven by the old woman and the young woman, the children soon woke up, they first pushed each other a few times, and then under the stern gaze of the old woman and the young woman, they came out of the overgrown depression, and the old woman and the young woman prostrated in front of Fei Yue together, muttering some words that Fei Yue couldn't hear clearly, as if they were some local dialects, judging from their pious appearance, it may be a word of fear of God.

Fei Yue looked down at the five people who were prostrate in front of her, the children were looking at themselves with curiosity and awe, and the old woman and the young woman who were prostrate on the left and right sides of the child seemed much more pious, Earl naturally looked like a matter of course, and Hotaru's face was more sad and sympathetic, grief was the killing of the village, and sympathy, I am afraid it was Fei Yue's pity.

"What's going on here?" Fei Yue asked softly when the old woman and the young woman stopped muttering.

"Yesterday at noon, Hierro came to our village and asked us to offer ten young men and girls, but we couldn't find even five, let alone ten, but Hierro didn't believe it, and finally searched the village and found only three young girls, one of whom was a newly married wife!" The old woman cried to Fei Yue with a handful of snot and tears, looking really pitiful and miserable, "That newly-married girl is my son's wife, and when they didn't want to start committing violence, my son dragged us to hide here. ”

"And what about your son, we haven't found his remains in the village!" Earl asked.

"Remains?" the old woman and the young woman were stunned for a moment at the same time, obviously not knowing what happened after that, at the same time, Hotaru gently knocked on Earl's head, I am afraid that only Hotaru dared to do such a dangerous thing, and Earl obviously knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he did not protest.

Then the old woman and the young woman began to cry, and the three children wept with their grandmother and mother, and then the wind was subtly quiet, and even the floating blades of grass fell silent, and only the sorrowful weeping hovered over the hill, and with the pain were the scavenging birds, which smelled the corpses, and their black wings were spread, and their scarlet eyes had locked the pile of delicious prey, and now they were afraid to come down because of the breath produced by Earl.

Fei Yue asked Hotaru to accompany the old woman and the young woman back to the village, while she and Earl stayed with the children, and now the oldest of the children in the group was only seven years old, and it was not suitable to see such a cruel picture, but when the old woman and the young woman came back with a little scattered, with a package of black dust, their expressions were sad and gloomy, only when their eyes fell on the three children in front of them, they would ease a little, but it only looked a little brighter.

"Don't worry, we'll do our best to get your children and daughter-in-law, as well as the people in the village who were captured!" When she left, Fei Yue left behind some food and clothing, she had been to the village before, and there was nothing left, which could be seen from the old woman and the young woman's charred black package, there was something contained here, which could not deceive Fei Yue, Hotaru and Earl. "But you have to tell me first, who is Hierro, where does he live, and where is this in the Philippe Republic!"

"Oh!" the old woman thought for a while, her expression was sometimes sad, sometimes cringe, as if she was considering whether to tell Fei Yue the accurate information, and this look seemed to Earl to have a few more meanings, such as if Fei Yue did not handle the matter properly, would they invite revenge like a catastrophe.

After a long time, the young woman saw that the old woman did not speak, so she took the first step and said, "Hierro is the biggest bandit leader in this area, he has relatives who manage the executive officers in this area, so that no matter how powerful he is, no one cares about it, and the army basically does not manage the affairs of the town, and the guards of the town are in the same league as the executive officers and bandits, even if we report it, we will only be imprisoned and beaten!"

I don't know if it's because of excitement or fear, the young woman's language seems broken, but the information Fei Yue wants is still roughly said, "This is located in the lower left corner of Fei'er, although you can sometimes see the dragon hovering in the sky, but it has been half a month since the last time I saw it, I heard that it was an important event in the underworld of the goddess, and even the dragon was sent over, but it was precisely like this, those evil thugs dared to act like this, although they would also intimidate and coerce before, but they did not dare to do such a unconscionable thing." ”

"Looks like we're moving faster!" said Fei Yue to herself, "Then can you tell us where Hiro's stronghold is, even if it's a general direction!" Fei Yue said to the young woman again.

"From here, about an hour to the southwest, there is a dead old tree, and from where it turns due south, there is a humble col where the robbers' stronghold is located!" replied the young woman, "but I am not entirely sure, and the stronghold which I have learned of is also known from the slave who had escaped from the bandit's stronghold, and I do not think the slave would lie. ”

"Okay, thank you!"

Before leaving, Fei Yue allowed the small earth to extend the depression under the hill inward, and then made the weeds at the entrance of the cave more dense, so that the Tibetan dwelling would not be easily discovered unless one was particularly careful.

At the same time, Earl also lit a fire for the group, the cave is now cold and damp, although it is much more spacious than before, and there is no big problem for five people to live, but the old woman is old, such a cold and damp environment can easily make people sick, in this environment, getting sick is basically equivalent to death.

Under the flames of Earl, the cave dries out, and after making sure that everything is settled, Fei Yue lets Hotaru go to explore the way, and she and Earl follow behind Hotaru.
