Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Glimpse

Looking at this messy scene, the owner of the house should have resisted, but obviously failed, otherwise there would not be a headless white skeleton here.

And the dust in this room is definitely not formed in a day or two, and no one has lived here for a long time.

After Zhao Lei walked out of this room, he entered seven or eight houses one after another, all of which were the same as the first one, all of which were looted, and bones were also found in two of the rooms.

It seems that this village is abandoned, and all the people in it are gone, and this is so close to Pingyang County, it must not be because they can't survive and all of them have been moved.

It wasn't killed by someone, because the bones in the village didn't match, and this mystery might only be understood after Zhao Lei entered the city.

There is no clue, Zhao Lei is not entangled so much, there are dead people everywhere in these years, empty villages everywhere, not bad this one.

Zhao Lei casually found a house, swept the dust on the ground, and sat down to rest.

After about half an hour, it was not so hot outside, and Zhao Lei came to the innermost part of the village.

He found a secret place, dug a pit, and put the chalcedony, water yuanjue, and bear skin in the package, and buried them along with the rune paper and knife.

Now he still doesn't know about the situation in Pingyang City, so naturally he can't bring chalcedony and Shui Yuanjue with him, so as not to have an accident when he enters the city.

After all, these two things are not idle at first glance.

Shui Yuanjue may not take it seriously, but it is just a strange novel, or it is possible that they don't know the above three words.

But as long as this chalcedony is not blind, you can see that it is priceless.

In the face of such a treasure, there are few people who will not covet it.

So Zhao Lei thought about it, it is safer to hide here, Shangma Village has now become a ghost village, there is no human population, and few people must come to this village.

Even if someone comes, they won't go into the innermost part of the village.

The wooden box and the black mother-in-law inside, as well as the kettle, silver and the half of the evil charm, were all taken by Zhao Lei.

The wooden box is his means of guaranteeing, if he encounters something that he can't solve, at least there is a black mother-in-law to cover himself.

The soul of a demon, even if it is thrown out to be scary, can at least help him attract the attention of others.

And bringing the silver to the body, you can deal with accidents, money can make the ghost grind, if you encounter a check when entering the city, the silver you carry has a role.

After Zhao Lei made a mark, he hurriedly went on the road, and in the four or five miles of the journey, he did not see a large group of homeless people, but only met a few people who were in a hurry.

In just a moment of incense, Zhao Lei saw the city wall of Pingyang City, as well as the big three words Pingyang City on the city gate.

The strange thing is that there are no homeless people and beggars found outside Pingyang City, as if the homeless people Zhao Lei has encountered along the way are just hallucinations.

At the gate of the city there were two open horses, and a dozen or so soldiers stood.

Zhao Lei calmed down and hurriedly walked towards the city gate.

After coming to the city gate, Zhao Lei saw that seven or eight meters in front of him, there was a vegetable farmer who was surrounded by four or five soldiers in the middle.

One of them also kicked the farmer's burden to the ground, and several wild vegetables rolled out.

The vegetable farmer in the middle, Zhao Lei thought that it might be the people around him, and the wild vegetables picked from the mountains were sold in the city, but when he didn't want to enter the city, he was embarrassed by the soldiers.

Zhao Lei has no intention of taking care of this matter, he is now unable to protect himself, if he takes care of this idle matter, who knows if he will offend the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

But when he accidentally saw the wild vegetables rolling out, his eyes froze, and then he walked up without changing his face.

The vegetable farmer was a white-haired man in his fifties and sixties, who knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the soldiers around him.

"Master Jun, you can take pity on the poor little old man, I borrowed this entrance fee from others, so I thought about selling this vegetable and earning a little hard-earned money, so that I could buy medicine for my grandson to treat his illness.

Little old man, I really don't have any money, Master Jun, you see if this will work, when I go into the city and sell the vegetables, after buying the medicine, I will honor you with the rest. ”

"Give me the rest? You're an old immortal, send it to Hanako!

If you don't give enough filial piety today, you won't want to enter this door, if you are still noisy here, I will break your legs! ”

Speaking of Duan Yong, he raised the spear in his hand as he spoke, and looked at the old man in front of him with a gloomy face.

I've been here for almost a day today, all of them are poor ghosts, they don't have any oil and water on their bodies, he is in this position now, but he has spent money, if he can't get any oil and water, then he will lose a day by day.

Now that he has met such an old man who doesn't understand the rules, he is naturally angry and wants to teach him a lesson.

As for the two baskets of wild vegetables, they are naturally their own, and they have wasted such a long day's effort, which they deserve.

Just when Duan Yong was about to make a move, Zhao Lei rushed up in two steps, he came to the old man's house, and then blocked him behind.

Then his face was full of flattery, he nodded his head, and said to Duan Yong with an honest look:

"Don't be angry, for this old man, it's not worth it to be angry, this is an old man from my village, I haven't been in the city, I don't know the rules, I hope that the military master has a lot, let this old man go."

As he spoke, he quietly arrived in Duan Yong's hand.

Duan Yong saw that it was silver, and he reversed the weight, and couldn't help but feel surprised, this country mud leg actually had silver in his hand to bribe.

couldn't help but treat Zhao Lei as a fat sheep, and wanted to continue to extract money from him.

As for the people in the same village that Zhao Lei said, Duan Yong didn't believe it, just a village, how could he spend money to settle things.

Presumably this old man is his relative, deliberately saying that it is from a village, and he wants to get by, this is really too underestimating himself, Duan Yong couldn't help but think, and even a little complacent.

"Phew! You thief in broad daylight, you dare to bribe us and other officers and soldiers defending the city.

I see that you have a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, you must be the one who steals chickens and dogs, and now grandpa, I will correct you on the spot, put you in prison, and loosen your muscles and bones! ”

Saying that, the soldiers faced Zhao Lei.

is really good at being bullied, Ma is good at being ridden, and Zhao Lei is also angry enough.

Duan Yong was also so unscrupulous when he saw that the two people in front of him were mud legs with no background.

At the gate of the city, in broad daylight, Zhao Lei naturally didn't want to cause trouble here, so he could only endure it.

However, the bearded ruffian in front of him, Zhao Lei already remembered him.
