Chapter 491: Killing People to Pay for Their Lives is the Way of Heaven (1)
The thing that the cripple and Xue Yi said was about the eldest lady of the Zhang family, that is, the eldest sister of Xiaoqi, Zhang Li.
Xue Yi didn't know whether she should tell Xiao Qi about this matter, and she had to deal with the noisy Wen Ying along the way.
It made Xue Yi a little upset and irritable, and now that Wen Ying is gone, she thinks about it carefully for a while, and feels all kinds of uneasy.
Could it be that Xue Yi wants to tell Xiao Qi that his eldest sister has been buried in the fire? This is obviously an impossible thing to do.
But if she didn't tell Xiao Qi the truth of the real thing, how much uneasiness Xue Yi felt in her heart.
When she was thinking about it, Xue Yi had already reached the meeting point.
"Xue Yi, are you back?"
"Well, what's wrong with you? Look at your face is a little bad! Did you find out something? ”
"No, it's just that when I came back, that Wen Ying didn't know where he went, so I couldn't figure it out."
Xiao Qi and Ai Yaya looked at it, Wen Ying was indeed not there, "Where did he go?" ”
"I'm supposed to be gathering intelligence, right?"
Xiao Qi didn't ask carefully, and at this time they parted ways, Wen Ying naturally had his own things to do.
The main thing now is not to ask where the Internet addiction is, Xiao Qi looked at Xue Yi with fiery eyes.
"Miss, everything has been heard."
"Say!"
"We found a servant of the Zhang family, and the man said that Mr.'s house had been burned down, and as for the ancestral land of the Zhang family, it should have disappeared as Wen Ying said."
"Any other news?"
Xue Yi shook his head, he decided not to tell Xiao Qi the news, anyway, there were only a few people who knew about it.
Even if it is found out at that time, it has nothing to do with Xue Yi.
Now she didn't want to say it, purely because she didn't want to make her young lady too sad.
Xiao Qi suddenly had an inexplicable mood in his heart, which was a kind of reassurance, or a kind of doubt.
"What you said is true?"
"The servant of the gentleman's mansion didn't say yes, but I don't think it's going to lie, right?"
Xiao Qi nodded, no matter what, now there is a direction to work towards, "In that case, let's go to Huaihuang Mansion!" ”
The three of them didn't stop and went straight to Huaihuang Mansion, as for Wen Ying, since they let them leave first, Xiao Qi naturally wouldn't be pretentious.
In order not to startle the snakes, they are still secretive, although at the beginning of the journey, because they robbed a few horses, and caused a lot of trouble.
As for the rest of the time, it was safe, and with the blessing of the fast horse, the time for them to reach Huaihuang Mansion was cut in half
Everything in Huaihuang Mansion seems to have disappeared suddenly, the crops that used to be in the fields are now deserted, and the place where the village should have appeared has become an overgrown wasteland at this time.
"Miss, this..."
It's not weird anymore, it even gives them the impression that someone is deliberately trying to do it.
In this case, they did not dare to stay here, just like the later troops came here, and along the way, they found nothing.
After walking for another day or so, they finally arrived at the main city of Huaihuang Mansion.
It's only been half a month, and the main city of Huaihuang Mansion seems a little desolate.
It's just that Xiao Qi's goal is not here, they go straight to the ancestral land of the Zhang family.
The bluestone road in my impression is still there, but as I walked, I found that something was wrong.
The mountains and mountains that were once in sight disappeared at this time.
The closer the distance, the more worried Xiao Qi became. It wasn't until the bluestone road disappeared that the three of them stopped.
"Miss, there's no way ahead!"
"This..."
It's really too terrifying, the former ancestral land of the Zhang family really disappeared from their field of vision at this time.
"Miss, are you sure it's this road, there doesn't seem to be anything here..."
The entire village in Huaihuang Province disappeared.
The disappearance of Zhang's ancestral land seemed a little normal to Xue Yi and Ai Yaya.
Ai Yaya was relieved: "Miss, if nothing happens, it's the best thing, now that they have disappeared, there is no bad news coming out, which means that there is nothing wrong with them." ”
Xiao Qi didn't speak, quietly looking at the scenery in front of him.
The sky had already darkened, Xiao Qi sighed, and said very calmly: "Let's do this today, let's go back first." ”
"Go back? Where to? ”
Do you want to go back to the main city of Huaihuang Mansion? Xiao Qi doesn't want to go, is it possible to continue to stay in the wilderness today?
Xue Yi said on the side: "Miss, let's stay in the wilderness." ”
In the main city, Xue Yi always had a particularly uncomfortable feeling.
Xiao Qi looked at the place where the original Zhang family brother was, and still said, "Let's go back first, in case we can find any clues in the main city." ”
At the beginning, they deduced the wasteland of the village, and did some investigation, but they found nothing, and now, unless there is a miracle, there will certainly be no trace here.
It would be better to go back to the main city and see what is going on there.
Now that it has been decided, they will no longer procrastinate when they return to the main city.
By evening they had returned to the main city, and had been eating wild game outside the city lately, and had some cravings for food.
So the three of them found an inn, and there were some vegetables growing in the backyard of the inn, and they also found some food in a few nearby households.
As for leaving the silver tael, it was purely a joke, if Xiao Qi didn't guess wrong, these people probably wouldn't be able to go back here for the rest of their lives.
After all, what happened in Huaihuang Mansion was too terrifying, and the emperor in the later period, if there was no problem with his brain, he would not have sent someone here.
After Xue Yi's cooking demonstration, a rich dinner was put on the table.
It seemed that it had been a long time since I had eaten such a comfortable dinner, and after dinner, the three of them huddled together in a room to rest.
In this case, no one dares to leave anyone.
It won't be long before refugees flow into the city, and the city will regain its former glory.
The next day, the three of them decisively came to the old site of Zhang Biao's mansion, and the whole mansion was reduced to ashes, and the three of them stood in this desolate ash heap.
"Miss, there's nothing left of the burned here."
Ai Yaya looked around at the situation here, as if she had discovered something, and walked slowly towards the short distance.
If you are familiar with the situation of Zhang Biao's mansion, the place where Ai Yaya walked at this time was Zhang Biao's study.
"Ah, did you find anything over there?"
"I don't know, I always feel like there are some habits over there, I'll take a look."
Xiao Qi and Xue Yi followed Ai Yaya and walked over.
Here, like the rest of the world, there was nothing left of the fire, and the collapsed earthen walls buried what had been reduced to ashes in the ground.
In the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, Ai Yaya looked thoughtfully at the collapsed earthen wall.
"Miss, something I told you last time."
"You say there's a secret here, but you haven't said what?"
"Oops. There are some things that are hard to say, but..."
"There's a secret passage in there!"
"You've been in?"
Ai Yaya shook her head, as for the reason why she didn't go in, no one knows?
"I think there's always something in there."
Now this ruin, if you want to clean it up...
Xiao Qi and Ai Yaya looked at Xue Yi on the side at the same time.
Xue Yi nodded, motioned for the two of them to leave, sank into the dantian, and used all the internal strength of her whole body to slap the original ruins and broken walls.
Then, a gust of wind blew up dust that clung to the surface of the clod.
The trio coughed and stepped back.
Ai Yaya complained: "Xue Yi, what are you doing here?" I can't bury the two of us. ”
Xue Yi also has a hard time and can't say it, her skills are not enough to promote these.
The clothes of the three people were dusted, which was fine, although there were a few traces, but they could go down with just a pat.
But his face had changed to emerge from the coal.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, but decided to wash their faces first and then come back to clean up here.
The three of them found shovels and pouts from other houses, and when they had the tools to tear down the walls, they were left with only manual labor.
Doing manual work, the three of them are honestly not good at it.
Xiao Qi said to Ai Yaya: "At this time, it is necessary to test whether your brain remembers the situation at that time?" ”
"Miss, alas, even if you remember wrongly, there will be no punishment, will you?"
Xiao Qi smiled, "It depends on your performance." ”
Xiao Qi held his forehead and stood in the courtyard just now.
After thinking about it carefully, he turned around and looked at Xiao Qi aggrievedly.
Xiao Qi and Xue Yi were behind to show relief, "Come on, you will definitely be able to do it!" ”
"Well... It seems to be here. ”
Ai Yaya pointed to a place in front of her, then shook her head, and quickly pointed to another place.
"It seems to be there."
"Miss, I really forgot where I was? It's been all these years, and I can remember that there's a secret passage here, and it's very..."
Xiao Qi smiled kindly, his eyes were full of encouragement, and that look directly explained, "It's okay, I believe you." ”
Ai Yaya concentrated on the pile of ruins in front of her, gritted her silver teeth, and pointed to a place.
"Miss is there, I won't change it!"
Xue Yi walked to her side and said lightly: "You'd better confess your guilt, but don't let us dig for a long time, this is not a study!" ”
Ai Yaya swallowed her saliva and sneered, "It should be here!" ”
"You don't! What if you're wrong? ”
"Wrong is wrong, right?"
Xiao Qi had already walked to the ruins at this time, and began to throw those abandoned lands with his feet.
The two of them were not chatting either, and went over to help.
I searched for a few places, and finally when I was about to be exhausted, I found the floor that Ai Ya Ya said.
The structure of this floor is a little different from the rest of the building, and if it weren't for the fact that the floor in the other place has been burned, I am afraid that it would not be able to be exposed.
"Looks like this is the place."
"Miss, it's almost night, are we going to wait until tomorrow?"
Ai Ya Ya directly lifted the floor, revealing a dark hole inside.
"Hey! Is there anyone in there? I'm Ai Yaya, and the person who heard it replied! ”
