When Tao Qian and the three of them arrived, Wang Le stood stupidly in place, unable to say a word, with a shocked expression on his face.

"This? What's going on? Su Zhe was also shocked and speechless.

I saw the village in front of me, the thatched huts were destroyed by the fire, and some remaining structures were burning, and black smoke was constantly rising from the flames.

Most of the stone slabs on the ground were broken and scattered in the dirt, and the scene was very messy.

There were also corpses that fell to the ground in a tragic death, some lying on their stomachs, some lying crookedly, and some with the lower half of their bodies cut off, and they were all dead without looking at them.

The faces of some corpses were so black that they couldn't see their facial features at all; Others were still bleeding and pooling into a small stream.

"What the hell is going on?" Tao Qian muttered.

"Woo woo woo-" Wang Le didn't hold back, and threw himself into Chen Wan'er's arms and cried. Chen Wan'er kept gently patting Wang Le's back and comforting her.

Tao Qian and Su Zhe glanced at each other, and then said, "Su Zhe, I'll go here, you go over there, and investigate." ”

Su Zhe nodded, and walked into the village with Tao Qianbing in two ways.

Tao Qian came to a room, and a pungent smell came to his face, the smell of a fierce flame burning something.

Frowning and adjusting his breathing properly, Tao Qian walked into the room, or rather, just the damaged structure of the house.

The most conspicuous thing in the house is the pitch black, the wooden beams, the wooden furniture, and even the stone walls are also smoked black, you can imagine how fierce the fire was.

Walking in the house, there is a "clatter" sound of stepping on the charred wreckage, mostly wood that has been burned into charcoal, and the sound of stepping on it is very ear-grinding.

The house is not large, but you can still have a rough view of the bedroom and kitchen. There are two bedrooms, and it is thought that a couple of parents are separated from their son or daughter.

In the bedroom, the bed board had been burned to the ground, the walls were black, and a corner of the futon that had not been burned was lying on the floor.

When I looked closely, there was still a corpse in the corner, his whole body was charred black, and his facial features were all burned, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman.

Tao Qian squatted down to examine the corpse carefully, and found a laceration in the neck of the corpse, which was obviously killed by someone cutting out his throat.

And the expression of the corpse, how to say it, seems to be relatively "peaceful", Tao Qian doesn't know if this word is accurate, but the expression of the deceased does not have much struggle, it is obvious that he was killed by a quick blow, and then he was burned like this.

Upon closer examination, no other wounds were found, and of course it is possible that the fire had covered up the existence of the wounds.

Gently lifting one of the deceased's arms, the arm was very thick, because the hand was held into a fist, or for other reasons, the palm of the hand was not burned by the fire, and it was obvious that there were many calluses on the palm, Tao Qian deduced that it should be a farmer.

This kind of callus is not formed by ordinary manual labor, Tao Qian has seen such calluses in the palms of the villagers of Tianjia Village at the foot of Shouyang Mountain before.

He stood up and went to another bedroom. There are a lot fewer burned parts of the bedrooms here, and many things are relatively well preserved.

If you look closely, there is a large window in the direction of the door, and there are gusts of wind pouring in through the window, plus a lot of wooden furniture is far away from the doorway, probably because of the wind and there is not much combustible, so not much is burned.

However, the wall adjacent to the next bedroom is still clearly charred, with dense black lines.

There were no bodies in this bedroom, just unburned wooden furniture. The bed board is not very large, and I think it is a woman living here.

Squatting down and looking under the bed, I found a pair of shoes worn by the girl, one was burned, and the other was still intact.

There is also a cabinet next to it, and there are some clothes scattered on the ground in front of the cabinet, and the cabinet is also messy and messy.

It looks like it was looted. Tao Qian thought to himself, maybe it was like the group of robbers killed by Wang Le who ransacked the village.

After all, so far, no traces related to cultivators have been found, and most of them can only be made by ordinary people, such as arson, and so on.

Check it out in the kitchen! Tao Qian left the bedroom and came to the kitchen, which was also a mess, but because the kitchen was mostly made of stone, it was relatively well preserved, but it was all turned into a pitch black pile.

The kitchen was small, with a stove and a chimney connected to the stove, the chimney walls were black, and there was a large cauldron on the stove, and there was a little water in it, but it was about to bottom.

There were a lot of spilled cooking materials on the ground, some of the leaves had mud footprints on them, and there were some beans in the corners, but they were all cracked, and they should have been trampled on. There are also upside-down seasoning jars on the stovetop, and seasonings are sprinkled on the stovetop.

It seems that this place has also been ransacked, no, it should be said that it has been looted, and everything has been knocked over, but nothing is missing.

Look at the stove, there are still some sparks burning in the hole, there is not a lot of firewood next to it, and more importantly, there are oil stains next to the stove.

It seems that this group of people is a house that is burned with oil and firewood, Tao Qian made a judgment. The group seemed to be here looking for something.

I have to ask what is noteworthy and attractive items in this Guling Village, Tao Qian thought.

After leaving the thatched hut, he went to other houses one after another to take a look, and the findings were almost the same, and Tao Qian became more and more sure that this group of people came to find something.

After carefully searching and confirming that nothing was missing, Tao Qian turned his head and returned to the place where Chen Wan'er and Wang Le were.

When I got closer, I found that Wang Le was crying in front of a charred corpse on the ground, muttering "Aunt Chen" in his mouth.

approached, gave Su Zhe, who was standing next to the corpse, a look, and then walked to the side.

"Did you find anything?" Su Zhe asked.

Tao Gan nodded: "The corpses were almost killed by a single blow, only the wounds on the neck were found, and traces of looting were found in some rooms, and the property was gone." ”

"I'm pretty much the same, but there's a strange place where there are a few rooms that don't show any signs of burning."

As he spoke, Su Zhe released the mechanism and projected an image in which the house was intact and there was no trace of being burned by the fire.

"This? This is a little tricky. Tao Qian touched his chin and said.

"By the way, what is that corpse?" Tao Qian suddenly asked.

"The body was identified by Wang Le, an aunt surnamed Chen who used to take care of her very much, and she also died......

"Let's go, let's go back first, we must investigate this village well, so as not to miss anything." After Tao Qian finished speaking, he turned around and left, with Su Zhe following behind.
