Chapter 388: Intricate
That's not a good thing.
The disappearance of the rut mark means that the target they have been pursuing has been cut off.
And the slaughter of an entire village also means that the interrogation plan they had envisioned has been declared bankrupt.
"Bastard, I think this incident must have been done by the inhumane cultists of the White Lotus Sect. Liu Xiaohu, whose face was a little pale, couldn't help but scold.
"Well, I think so. Zhao Qianru, whose face was also very ugly, nodded and agreed with Liu Xiaohu's opinion.
For such a tragic case, those cultists of the White Lotus Sect have a criminal record.
Not to mention anything else, the last time the secret rudder of the White Lotus Sect was taken by their Canglong Sect, wasn't it because they discovered a tragic murder committed by the White Lotus Sect?
In addition, the rut marks of the silver disappeared here, and the villagers of this village were slaughtered.
Such a coincidence, if you want to say that there is no connection between the two, no fool will believe it.
Subsequently, Xu Yang found a carriage abandoned by the White Lotus Sect in a thatched horse shed on the right side of the village.
Although the carriage had been smashed, two of the loose planks were clearly marked with the unique brand of Canglongmen.
Obviously, this is the carriage that Canglongmen originally used to transport silver.
The carriage was still there, but the horse that pulled the carriage was gone.
There is a stable here, and there is fresh horse manure in the stable, which means that there were horses in this stable before.
And now, the horses in the stable are gone.
Then the whole village was slaughtered again.
strung these suspicious points together, and Xu Yang's head automatically sketched a picture.
Those cultists of the White Lotus Sect drove the carriage carrying silver that they had snatched from Canglongmen to here.
Maybe it was because they felt that the carriage was going too slowly, or maybe the ruts in the carriage were too obvious, so the cultists planned to snatch the horses from the village.
The villagers revolted and then ...... There was no more.
This presumption is quite reasonable, and the other three people basically agree with Xu Yang's judgment.
But in this way, the clues they want to pursue become more complicated.
The people in the village had already been slaughtered, and even if they had a stomach full of questions to ask, they couldn't get answers from those cold corpses.
There are three more roads out of the village, and there are some horseshoe prints of different old and new on each road.
The four of them couldn't tell whether these horseshoe prints were left by the cultists of the White Lotus Sect, or if they were stepped on by the horses in the village before.
The four of them risked their lives and pursued for a long time, but they found nothing but an angry scene of slaughtering the village.
There were only four of them, but there were three paths in front of them.
And it is impossible for them to continue to divide their forces.
As a result, their pursuit of work is in a difficult situation.
"Brother Xu, are we going to pick a path to continue our pursuit now, or do we go home?" asked Liu Bangda.
The seventy-four corpses in the village made Liu Bangda feel the cruelty of the White Lotus Sect cultists again.
If it were possible, he would be eager to bring those cults who committed crimes to justice right now.
But now, difficulties are in front of them.
Returning home is naturally the least difficult.
But it is not so simple to choose the right path from the three roads out of the village and continue to pursue.
In the case of insufficient evidence, there is a one-in-three probability of each road.
If you are blind and guess correctly, then it's okay to say.
But if you guess wrong, it will not only be a waste of time, but it may also delay the right thing.
Just when they were in a dilemma, suddenly, Xu Yang noticed that something seemed to move on the edge of the monitoring limit range in front of the right.
Xu Yang, who had already opened the monitoring range of the Eye of the Sky to the maximum, only saw a vague shadow.
Is it a human or a ghost, or is it some small animal that haunts during the day?
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yang let out a low shout: "Be careful!"
Then I saw his figure quickly flash to the right front.
Liu Bangda, who was still waiting for Xu Yang's answer, suddenly made a mistake on the spot.
Be careful?
He looked in the direction that Xu Yang had flashed, but found nothing.
This hateful black-hearted shopkeeper, he can speak clearly without speaking, what do they want to be careful about?
At the same time, Zhao Qianru and Liu Xiaohu quickly found a hidden position to hide.
Like Liu Bangda, they didn't know what Xu Yang wanted them to be careful about.
But out of trust in Xu Yang, they did not hesitate to make this covert action.
Xu Yang asked them to be careful, so there must be a reason to be careful.
Waiting for Zhao Qianru and Liu Xiaohu to hide behind a pile of haystacks at the head of the village, Liu Bangda was still hesitant to do so.
Soon, though, he didn't need to hesitate any longer.
Because Xu Yang, who had just flashed to the front right, actually walked out of the shrub in front of the right with a little girl wearing a tattered flower jacket in his arms.
At this moment, Liu Bangda was inexplicably surprised in his heart.
Before that, although he was defeated by Xu Yang twice.
However, Liu Bangda has always believed that even if Xu Yang is stronger than him, he is only too strong.
But now, this deep-rooted idea is beginning to waver.
Xu Yang could find the child hidden in the bushes dozens of zhang away, but he could only stand here in a daze.
This gap simply cannot be reasoned.
Uncle, do you not know the height of the sky, or is this black-hearted shopkeeper too deep?
Xu Yang, who was waiting to go back, made a gesture to the two guys to disarm the alarm, and Liu Bangda, who was surprised, was still standing there thinking nonsense.
But at this time, no one paid attention to him.
Zhao Qianru and Liu Xiaohu, who ran back from behind the haystack, both focused on the little girl Xu Yang was holding in his hand.
This little girl with a small round face, probably only about ten years old, wore a small flower jacket that had been hung in tatters by the bush in the front right.
The most poignant thing is that this little girl's face actually has a frightened expression that is not at all for a child of this age.
Obviously, this little girl in a small flower jacket is likely to be the only survivor of the slaughtered village in front of her.
Looking at the unrelieved horror on Xiaoyuan's face, Zhao Qianru, who is already twenty years old but has not yet been nourished by love, is giving birth to a great maternal love without a teacher at this time.
I saw that she quickly took the poor little girl from Xu Yang's hand, and then hugged the other party into her arms, constantly comforting her. 繶䂕Nᰠ⩲㩧晎䭜ᴠg끥节ⱻN・17䵑㦍֖ژȰ
