When the peasant woman saw Tom and the other three Black Dog Guard's guards and the weapons on their waists, her expression was obviously a little frightened, and she said tremblingly, "My lords, our village has already handed over last month's tax money to the Pobo family. ”

"We are not from the Arias family, nor are we here to collect taxes." Tom said as he stretched out his right hand and pulled up his cuffs, revealing the silicone bracelet he was wearing on his wrist.

"I'm Jerry (Christian name) of the Black Iron Guard of the Church of Peace, this is the Prophet Merlin, the three around him are my colleagues, and the last one is ......"

"I'm Anton of the Silver Moon Church, you are all followers of Picia, don't be afraid, I will protect you from the infidels." Anton said with his chest straight.

"We're here with no ill intent." Tom shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just that two Hughes are missing from our side." They came to your village yesterday to preach, but they haven't been back, and no one has seen them again, do you know what's going on? ”

"I ...... I just got married here, I don't know. The peasant woman said.

While everyone was talking, the cry of a baby sounded in the room again, and the peasant woman turned her head to look inside the house, and then at the people outside.

Li Yu said, "It's okay, you can go back and coax the child." ”

The peasant woman breathed a sigh of relief, thanked everyone, and then closed the door, and after a while a song came out of the house, it should be a local lullaby, Li Yu also heard Miss Rabbit hum, but he forgot the name of the song.

Anton was stunned for a moment when he heard the song, but he didn't say anything.

As the song sounded, the baby stopped crying.

Then Tom changed the house, and this time it was an old man, about sixty or seventy years old, but he was much more enthusiastic than the woman before.

After hearing Tom's intentions, he invited the six into his room.

In addition to him, there was his wife, an old cow, and an old hen.

Because humans and animals live together, the smell is not very good.

But the old man's wife, an old woman with some ears behind her ears, was as enthusiastic as her man, and took out the only half barrel of ale wine left in the house, saying that she wanted to warm up Li Yu and the others.

Tom refused several times, and did not know whether the old woman was too hospitable, or a little deaf, and insisted on pouring wine for everyone.

Seeing that the hospitality was difficult, Tom could only take out a few silver coins from his body and put them on the table, as money to buy wine. Then he brought up the old story again, "Probably yesterday, did you see two people, one fat and one thin, coming to your village? ”

"Yes, I have an impression." The old man nodded, "They claim to be the messengers of Saturday, and they carry the same strange bracelets as you, and they say that they want to invite us to establish some land kingdom together, but I tell them that I am too old to survive a few winters, and I really don't have the strength to be loyal to that great Saturday anymore......

"I told them to ask the young people in the village, and maybe someone would be willing to listen to them, because young people always like new things."

"No, you're doing the right thing. No one should betray one's faith under any circumstances. Anton said in a loud voice, "Especially for Picia's faith, as long as we believe in her wholeheartedly, then she will also bless us!" Protect us! ”

The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, "Aren't you a member of the Shuangxiu Sect?" ”

"No, I'm the lingua franca teacher of the Arias family, I was sent here by the Silvermoon Church, and we share the same faith!"

"Is that so......" the old man's face showed a look of hesitation.

Tom didn't have the heart to listen to Anton's nonsense here, and he didn't quite understand why Li Yu was taking such a guy who was obviously going against them.

Tom interrupted the conversation as he raised his glass, asking, "Where are those two now?" ”

He rode all the way, his limbs were a little stiff from the cold, and he really needed a glass of wine to warm his body.

"They are on the east side of the village, at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Delmont." The old man said, "They have three children who have to stick to the two Hughes and let them tell stories. ”

"yes, let's go now." Tom was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to drink all the wine in his hand, but Li Yu pressed his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't touch the things here." ”

As soon as Li Yu's words fell, he saw that the old woman with some ears behind her ears suddenly took out a crossbow from the straw mat under the bed and raised it tremblingly.

But before she could press the mechanism, a guard of the black dog guard had already rushed forward, raised his knife and fell, and directly cut off the old woman's head with a sword.

And Li Yu's voice had just sounded at this time, "Don't kill people indiscriminately." ”

But it was too late for him to say this, and the head rolled off the bed and rolled all the way to his feet.

Li Yu saw full of hatred in the eyes of the pair of dead eyes.

Witnessing the tragic death of his old wife, at this time, the old man on the other side also rushed over, directly pulled out the knife on his waist, and stabbed Li Yu in the chest!

It's a pity that he is an ordinary person, and he is still an elderly ordinary person, and his movements are too slow.

Tom rushed forward before the other lizardmen warriors could do anything, kicked the dagger in the old man's hand, and then knocked him down, finally leaving him alive.

Anton was still stunned at this time, and after a while, he asked Li Yu with a ghostly look, "You...... How did you find out they had a problem? ”

"The first family we met before, the woman said that she had just married and came here, but when the baby cried in the house, there was no one to comfort her, which means that her man was not at home, but now that it is so cold outside, who would choose to go out at this time?"

"Well, that's kind of weird."

"As for the second family, it's even more problematic," Li Yu continued, "how could an ordinary person prepare so many wine glasses in the house, as if they were waiting to entertain us, and from the moment we entered the house, the old woman's expression was actually a little unnatural, but pretending to be behind the ears was a very smart choice."

"But when she poured you wine, I deliberately stomped my foot and knocked the snow off my shoes, and at that time she obviously reacted and wanted to look at me, but finally she resisted. But the biggest problem was that I found the young woman's clothes in this room, and like the problem of the first family, she was not here. ”

Li Yu pointed to the skirt next to the straw mat, and it didn't look like the old woman would wear it.

After a pause, Li Yu said to Tom again, "I don't know why most of the people in the village are very hostile to us, and there are likely to be other ambushes here, contact our men outside and ask them to be vigilant." ”

"Contact, how to contact? They're still some way away. Anton wondered.

Then he saw Tom pull a walkie-talkie out of his arms and shake it in front of his eyes, "You don't know anything about the power of Saturday. ”
