Leaving this house, the group went to the next one.

Before Song Yizhi kicked the door, Bei Xianyue climbed over the wall and went in to open the door.

A group of people searched around, but the living people were not seen, and the bones were not found.

"Why is there nothing?" Wei Ling kicked the dustpan, his tone a little irritable.

Song Yizhi walked over and patted Wei Ling's shoulder, silently soothing her emotions.

"Let's go to the next one." Song Yizhi said.

Wei Ling's irritable mood was calmed down a bit, and she answered.

The group moved.

The sun was hanging high in the sky, and it was already about noon.

The six of them went from house to house searching for half of the village, some with nothing at home, and some with all dead people.

Those dead people are still dead in all sorts of ways, and judging from the way they died, it looks like many people killed them.

In short, they searched in Pingyang Village for a long time, but they couldn't find a single living person.

"When will we have to find it if we continue to look like this?" Wei Ling rubbed his neck, and the whole person looked a little tired and a little irritable.

Bei Xianyue spoke, "I let go of my divine sense and investigated, there are no living people in this village, for the sake of caution, let's search the remaining half of the village." ”

Song responded with a branch.

Wei Ling frowned, but still did not object.

As the group was about to continue their search, the sound of crutches and footsteps came from the end of the village.

In the silence of the village, such voices were magnified exponentially, and fell on their hearts again and again, making the six of them feel uneasy.

Bei Xianyue clenched her long sword and followed the sound.

Several people followed.

Looking at the old woman and the little girl at the end of the road, several people reflexively became vigilant.

"Who are you?" The old woman with a cane looked at the six young men with cloudy eyes.

The old woman was followed by a young girl, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The little girl looked at Bei Xianyue who was holding the long sword a little nervously, and spoke vigilantly, "Who are you? How in our village? ”

"Your village?" Wei Ling popped up a head from behind and asked eagerly, "Are you from Pingyang Village?"

After looking for it all morning, I can be regarded as seeing a living person!

The little girl looked at Wei Ling, who was a little fierce, and supported the old woman, pursed her lips without saying a word.

Song Yizhi pushed Wei Ling back and walked over with a gentle smile on his face, "Hello old woman, we are monks who have traveled here, we heard that Pingyang Village is not peaceful in Peony City, so we came to take a look." ”

Looking at Song Yizhi, who has ice muscles and jade bones and a good temperament, the old woman believes it.

Looking at her gentle and polite appearance again, the old woman only felt that this girl was very suitable for her eyes, and she showed an amiable smile, "It turned out to be the monk, the old woman and the little granddaughter have returned from visiting relatives, and are about to go home." ”

Song Yizhi nodded, and when he saw the little girl looking at him with curiosity in his eyes, he smiled with bent eyes.

"I should be two or three years older than you, my sister invited you to eat osmanthus candy." As he spoke, Song Yizhi took out a piece of osmanthus candy that he bought and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl glanced at her grandmother, and then reached out to take the osmanthus candy with permission, and said shyly, "Thank you, sister." ”

"You're welcome." Song Yizhi spoke gently.

"Ah......" the old woman sighed, and she looked up at the sky with some wistfulness.

After a while, the old woman retracted her gaze and looked at Song Yizhi and the others, and said slowly, "If you don't dislike it, you can go to my house and sit down and drink a glass of water, and I can talk to you about Pingyang Village." ”

Song Yizhi glanced at a few people, exchanged glances, and then walked towards their house with the old woman.

On the way, Song Yizhi had already found out that the old woman's surname was Liu, her husband's surname was Qian Liu, and the little girl was called Qian Duo.

Qian Liu and Qian Duo's home was close to the end of the village, and when Qian Duo saw the door of his house, he happily jumped up and stretched out his hand to open the door.

"This is my house, come in!" Qian Duo warmly invited.

Song Yizhi took Qian Liu and walked over the threshold.

"Let a few people laugh, I left home for ten days and half a month, and there is nothing to entertain at home." After Qian Liu finished speaking, he asked his granddaughter to move the stool, and then went to the kitchen to boil some water.

Chu He shouted hundreds of miles to help move the stool.

After a while, Chu He and Bai Li Qi each came out with two benches.

Putting down the bench, Chu He wiped the dust on the stool, and then placed the stool beside Qian Liu.

"Thank you, lad." Qian Liu smiled, and then urged his granddaughter to hurry up and boil water.

Qian Duo answered, and he slipped away to the kitchen to boil water.

Baili Qi learned from Chu He, and he put the polished bench next to a few girls.

Song Yizhi and Shen Zheng sat on a bench, Bei Xianyue and Wei Ling sat on a bench, and Chu He and Bai Liqi sat on the remaining benches.

Qian Liu sighed, her expression looked melancholy, she seemed to be thinking to herself, "Retribution, it's all retribution." ”

Retribution?

Bei Xianyue turned her head to look at Song Yizhi.

At this time, it's time for Song Yizhi to come out!

The corners of Song Yizhi's mouth twitched, and he glanced at a few people speechlessly, and then spoke with their expectant looks, "Old woman, what is the retribution you just said?" ”

"Hey......" Qian Liu held his cane in both hands, his expression was stunned, "It's not those beasts who do evil, take pity on those girls." ”

Looking at Qian Liu, who had never talked about the topic, Wei Ling was a little anxious, and she was about to say something when Bei Xianyue turned her arm.

She glanced at Bei Xianyue, then closed her mouth and didn't speak.

Song Yizhi didn't urge, she waited for Qian Liu to finish sighing.

"It's a long story, it was decades ago, and the previous head of Pingyang Village was not a thing!" Qian Liu held the cane and hammered it to the ground fiercely, and the whole person became angry.

"That brute learned some evil ways, relying on himself to be the village head, and a few other brutes persecuted a lot of girls, and then they were all strangled by the city lord to show the anger of the people, and the life of Pingyang Village is better."

Song Yizhi nodded, listening carefully, "And then?" ”

"Those animals died, several of them were driven away, and Pingyang Village was peaceful for decades, but just a few months ago, the disappearance of the little girl began to happen again!" Qian Liu's excited voice was full of anger, "It must be the descendants of those beasts who came back to take revenge!" ”

Song Yizhi felt that things would not be so simple.

If it was just such a simple revenge, those people in the City Lord's Mansion would have dealt with it long ago.

"There are only two of us left in my family, and I took my granddaughter to escape elsewhere, but I can ......" Qian Liu's expression was angry and scared, and most of them were afraid.

Song Yizhi felt that what Qian Liu was going to say next would be very important.

"Ten days ago, every night someone would come and intimidate me, and that person would come and go without a trace! He gave me five days to take my granddaughter back to Pingyang Village, otherwise I would kill Duoduo's uncle's family. Qian Liu was frightened and angry, her wrinkled hands clutching at her crutches.

Duoduo's uncle is a good person, and he hasn't talked much about these days of borrowing, but because of this, their grandparents and grandchildren must come back.

Even if it is death, it would be good to kill their grandparents and grandchildren, why bother to implicate innocent people.

However, now Qian Liu looked at the few monks in front of him, and a little hope was ignited in his heart.
