Chapter 135: Dry Well
In the end, Village Chief Lu really couldn't do anything, so he gave a few slaps to one of the pathfinders, told him to calm down first, and finally asked for some useful information.
- The people in the village are dead, and the corpses are scattered everywhere, and the corpses are rotting terribly on such a hot day.
- They don't know who did it, they saw so many rotting corpses, where they could stand firmly, and they hurried back.
There was silence in the village.
Qiao Huaping carried the arrow behind him, and the quiver hung around his waist.
"I'll take a look."
With these words, she broke the silence.
Everyone present couldn't help but look at her.
Village Chief Lu was even more speechless: "Qiao Niangzi ......"
Qiao Huaping said in an orderly manner: "I'm very good, I looked at the distance, the mountain col is not far from here, I went to explore the way, and I can come back in about half an hour." The seclusion of this place is okay, everyone is scattered in the forest, pay attention to vigilance. ”
After a pause, Qiao Huaping looked at Village Chief Lu again, "Village Chief, just one point, my four children ......"
"Don't worry!" Village Chief Lu came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "As long as I still have a breath, I will definitely take care of your four children first." ”
Qiao Huaping nodded.
However, when she was about to leave, Mei Qingying held Qiao Huaping's hand in a little anxious.
"Yingying, what's wrong?" Qiao Huaping squatted down and looked directly at Mei Qingying, "Mother go to the front to explore the way, and I'll be back soon." ”
"Uncle said that the people in the village are all dead." Mei Qingying was a little anxious, the sentence was no longer as before, two words and two words, it sounded a lot smoother, "Mother, dangerous ......"
She knew what it meant to die.
Dad died, and Uncle Sheng, who had been taking care of their brother and sister, also died.
If you die, you will never come back.
Qiao Huaping gently touched Mei Qingying's little head: "Yingying, don't worry, my mother will be fine." My mother will definitely be able to come back, and my mother still wants to see us change her teeth, right? ”
Mei Qingying's millet-like teeth bit her lower lip, and after a while, she let go of Qiao Huaping's hand.
The deeper the smile in Qiao Huaping's eyes.
She raised her hand, touched Mei Qingying's head, and instructed a few boys in the family, concisely: "You take care of your sister and listen to the words of the village chief." ”
Mei Qingyao pursed her leaky mouth tightly and nodded seriously.
……
Qiao Huaping instructed a few words, and several descendants in the village hurriedly brought bows and said that they would go with Qiao Huaping.
Qiao Huaping shook his head: "You go everywhere and guard." I'll go see for myself first, if there's anything wrong, I'll be slow with you guys. ”
In Qiao Huaping's opinion, this is the truth.
But in the eyes of those juniors in the village, this is what Mrs. Qiao deliberately said in order to prevent them from risking their lives!
They all felt the good intentions of Mrs. Qiao!
Lady Joe, how great! One person shoulders all the dangers!
The hearts of the descendants are stirring, and the tears are blurred!
They choked up and said, "Lady Qiao, don't worry, we will definitely live up to your trust!" ”
Qiao Painting: "......"
Well, although I don't know what they made up in their brains, they were moved to look like they wanted to die in their bodies. But...... Anyway, the result is the same.
Qiao painted the screen very freely and waved his hand.
She exerted force under her feet, and her figure entered the forest as fast as lightning.
A bunch of people were left to watch her back disappearing into the forest, and they were extremely excited: "Lady Qiao, it's so fast!" ”
……
Qiao Huaping ran all the way, climbed over the mountain, and soon, he could see the village.
Qiao Huaping slowed down, there was no one around now, and she didn't bother to hide it, and a few pieces of linen taken out of the space appeared directly in her hands.
The sackcloth, soaked with the water stored in the space, wrapped it tightly around her mouth and nose, and tied a tight knot at the back of her head.
As soon as a person dies, the corpse becomes a source of pollution, and covering the mouth and nose can at least provide some protection.
Qiao Huaping carried a bow on his back, tied a knife to the inner thigh, took off the green silk bracelet he was carrying, held it in his hand, was full of vigilance, and entered the village lightly.
However, as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, the stench of rotting corpses hit me head-on.
The stench is almost like substance!
Fortunately, the mouth and nose were covered with soaked linen, and some of them were filtered.
Qiao Huaping held his breath and concentrated, without hesitation, and walked directly into the village.
This village is not big, but when I came in, it was like a miserable prison on earth, with rotting corpses all around, men, women and children.
From the wounds, it can be seen that many people tried to escape, but they were hacked to death by someone on a horse directly from behind!
Qiao painted his eyebrows and eyes a little colder.
She carefully avoided the highly decomposed corpses and entered one of the small courtyards.
At the mouth of the well in the small courtyard, there was also a corpse lying on its stomach, and the wound on its back was already highly decomposed, and it was not pickled.
It seems that the man wanted to throw himself into the well, but he was hacked to death with a knife.
Qiao Huaping's face became more and more ugly.
She walked silently through most of the village.
Sure enough, as the pathfinder said, they were all dead.
I think too, how can people survive such a tragedy?
As for the things in the house, at a cursory glance, Qiao Huaping actually found that all the valuable items had been looted.
This chaotic rut proves that these people have transported all the looted things out to truckloads of them!
Qiao Huaping probably knew the identity of the murderer.
- It should be a rout on the battlefield.
Whether it is the wound of the knife, or the system of the horse's hoof mark, or the method of these people cutting people like cutting melons, it all proves that these people should have participated in the battlefield fighting.
But this place is not far from the border, but it is not close, and the behavior style is not very like the pressure of a foreign army. In this way, it should be a small group of routs fleeing on the battlefield.
The mentality of these defeated soldiers has been tempered into a devil on the battlefield, killing people and robbing things when they see them. A sentence of extreme ferocity is no longer enough to describe their ferocity.
Qiao Huaping sighed faintly.
She walked somewhere, only to realize that something wasn't quite right.
Somewhere, there was an extremely faint cry! If it weren't for the fact that her hearing had been strengthened by spiritual water, she wouldn't have been able to hear anything.
Qiao Huaping's expression changed, and he walked along the almost inaudible cry.
When she walked up, she found that it was actually a dry well!
The sound came from the well!
Qiao Huaping stood at the mouth of the well, looking down, it was pitch black below, if she couldn't see in the dark, I am afraid she would not be able to see it.
Underneath the well, there is a thick fallen leaf, and there is a small swaddling one, deep in the fallen leaves!
Qiao Huaping squinted, took out a rope from the space, tied one end to his waist, and directly kicked the wall of the well, and went down the dry well!
The leaves in the dry well were extremely thick, and Qiao Huaping went down to the bottom of the well, and it was almost to her thigh.
The little baby child, who looked like it was only a few months old, was stuck in the fallen leaves, and I don't know how long he had been hungry, and his cry was already weak.
