This night, Chu Xunyu and the five people were looking around, but unfortunately, what the result, neither Shang Qian nor the villagers were found, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the five people had already turned the entire village, and there was still no result, now they were standing in a farmer's house, and they simply didn't leave, Chu Xunyu decided to simply wait for the rabbit, just wait for the sunrise, but to see how these people suddenly appeared later.

The sky gradually turned white, a faint golden yellow began to appear, dawn was coming, Chu Xunyu and the five people sat in the main hall of this farmer's house, waiting for the villagers to appear, but after waiting for a long time, there was no change, Mu Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Are we mistaken, they will never come again if they leave?"

"Wait!" Chu Xunyu frowned and looked around, "I don't believe it, how can this kind of trick of changing people be so wonderful!"

So everyone waited for a while, the sun outside had almost risen, the five of them looked around, still no response, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, Guanyue Xiaosheng proposed: "Everyone, we can't do it like this, let's go out and see the other villages around." ”

Chu Xunyu thought about it, but he had no other way, so he had to stand up unwillingly, push the door and leave.

"Who are you, why are you standing in my house?" a voice suddenly appeared, startling everyone. Everyone looked back, a middle-aged farmer, appeared at the door of the side house, sleepy-eyed, but looked at everyone in surprise, this time was completely shocked, right under the nose, it was really a big change of life, the divine sense went out, the whole village, I don't know when, back to life.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw them looking at him with an incredulous look and didn't speak, and he doubted in his heart: "I haven't seen you, you won't be thieves." After speaking, he subconsciously bent down to touch the things in his hand as a defense.

"You...... How did you come out of this?" Mu Yuan couldn't help it, and pointed directly at the man and screamed.

"Huh?" the man was also confused, but he didn't react, and replied honestly, "This is my own home, how did you say I came out......?" Huh, aren't you the Central Plains merchants who came yesterday? It's you......."

"Ah...... That's right!" Chu Xunyu came back to his senses, and hurriedly got off the donkey, "We are, that's us, that's what, ah, yes! We got up early in the morning and walked around to see what good mountain goods we could collect, and then we came in and took a look, sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you!"

Fortunately, the local people are simple, the village is so big, and they have the habit of not closing their doors at night and not leaving the road behind, and they are generally not locked at night, so the man also reacted after him, and suddenly said: "I see, I still think you are what you are, you do business, you get up early, but you are in the wrong place, our mountain goods are nothing, and they will be taken away by other Central Plains merchants in the first half of the year, sorry!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Chu Xunyu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he took it away for others, otherwise he would have to pay for those messy things, and hurriedly lost his smile at the moment, "Since that's the case, then let's go to another house and see what else is there." ”

"Don't, sit down, sit down, and eat a few hot steamed buns together!" The man hurriedly went over to keep them, and Chu Xunyu hurriedly excused himself and went out half-pushed.

As soon as he went out, Mu Yuan quarreled: "Guanyue, what are you pulling me for, I want to ask for understanding!"

It turned out that Guanyue Xiaosheng had been secretly holding Mu Yuan just now, preventing him from acting rashly, Chu Xunyu hurriedly covered Mu Yuan's mouth: "You kid be quiet, now that people have appeared, people are starting to move, don't startle the snake." ”

Chu Xunyu looked around, and people began to appear in every household, some were pouring water at the door, and some were making stoves, it seemed that nothing happened last night, it was really difficult to do it now, under the surveillance of several people, it was really unexpected.

"There are only two strategies available for now. Guanyue Xiaosheng shook the folding fan and said unhurriedly.

"Oh, which two?"

"There must be a problem with the people here, so the first method is to directly catch a few live mouths, figure out the whole story, and then a few of us will shoot at the same time, not only this village, but also several other nearby villages together, directly burn it clean, straightforward, however, in doing so, it may startle the snake and alarm the people behind the scenes. ”

"Impossible. Chu Xunyu was most disgusted by his move of killing mortals at every turn.

"Then it's the second one. Guanyue Xiaosheng nodded, he knew that Chu Xunyu would not agree, "Continue the secret visit, but it will take too long, let's discuss it and see what to do." ”

What else can we do? Everyone discussed left and right, and in the end, they continued to make secret visits, and they couldn't really burn down a few villages in this vicinity, because at that time, I am afraid that they would be chased and killed by righteous people all over the rivers and lakes.

Time is always difficult, they all the way to the villagers pretended to greet each other, all the way back to the place where they lived, just entered the door, they saw Lao Zhangtou and their father and son hurriedly greeted out, anxiously said: "Oh mom, I said you can come back, I'm in a hurry." ”

"What's wrong?" Mu Yuan doesn't like anyone now, and the more he looks at the father and son, the more right he becomes.

Lao Zhang raised the lock in his hand, "Early in the morning, I saw that you were not in the room, and the lock we locked yesterday also fell to the ground, which scared us, and I thought you were wrong." ”

"En?" Mu Yuan was stunned, "This lock is locked by you?"

"yes!"

"Why?"

"Hey! The old Zhang Tou poured out the reason, it turned out that they came into the room after they came last night, and they fell asleep, and their father and son were going out to drink at night, afraid that the gold and silver carried by these so-called "Central Plains merchants" would be stolen, so it was not clear, so they quietly locked the door.

And the coincidence is here, the five of them didn't sleep at all, they directly hid their bodies, came out through the wall, entered through the wall, and didn't notice that there was a lock on the door at all.

However, the son of the old man was still smart, and he looked at everyone strangely, and asked, "Dad, how did you open this lock?" ”

"Well, that's right!" Old Zhang Tou also reacted, looking at Chu Xunyu strangely.

"This ......" Guanyue Xiaosheng's eyes rolled, and he opened his mouth to talk nonsense, "I worked as a locksmith in the Central Plains before, so I am very proficient in this thing, and I just got up and saw that the door was locked, and I didn't know why, so I opened it through the crack in the door." ”

"Oh, that's right. Lao Zhangtou came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Master, I still have two bad locks in my house, I will show you later, see if it can be repaired?"

"Okay, okay!" Guanyue Xiaosheng agreed embarrassedly, and hurriedly pulled a few people back to the room, in case the father and son really took out any locks, they couldn't fix it well, and they would definitely be exposed.

A few people returned to the room and waited for dark, except for showing up at noon for lunch, basically all in the room to discuss countermeasures, it was like a year, and it was finally in the evening, everyone was ready to tonight, and the mystery must be revealed.

Chu Xunyu said: "Everyone, it's not early, it's going to be dark, don't say anything else, when we go out and hide directly, pick someone to watch, I want to see what else they can sing!"

"Okay!" Mu Yuan agreed, "I'll go out and wash my hands first, and I'll set off when I get back!"

"Good!"

Mu Yuan turned around and went out, went to the yard, found the well, prepared to wash his hands with a tube of water, and helped Chu Xunyu to mend the wall yesterday, but until now, his hands are dirty, so he hurriedly put the bucket down the well.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a "clang" in the kitchen not far away, it seemed that something had fallen, it must be Lao Zhangtou and his family cooking, Mu Yuan looked up at the sky, it was evening, and it was dark for a while, so the old problem was committed again, and he touched his stomach and thought: If you go in and get some food to satisfy your cravings, you shouldn't be able to miss the night's business.

So cheekily walked to the kitchen door, knocked on the door, and didn't seem to respond, Mu Yuan felt it, there seemed to be no one inside, what was the sound just now? Could it be a mouse? No wonder, in the countryside, there are many mice, forget it, go in by yourself, anyway, it's not the first time to enter someone else's kitchen.

As soon as he pushed the door, he went in, because it was evening, the kitchen was dark, Mu Yuan was a thief, and he didn't dare to light the lamp, so he touched the darkness and walked to the steaming drawer, thinking that there were still a few left, and suddenly heard the strange sound of "squeak, creak, ......", and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, looking for the sound, and almost frightened, because he saw the son of the old Zhang Tou squatting behind the stove and didn't know what he was tinkering with.

"Hey!" After Mu Yuan saw his back clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and opened his mouth to say, "I said little brother, you are scared to death, what are you doing?"

Brother Zhang didn't seem to hear it, he was still squatting in the dark corner and doing something, Mu Yuan couldn't help but walk over, and vaguely saw what he was eating, could it be that he was the same as himself, and he was also a fellow believer?

But the kid still didn't react, Mu Yuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, his nose sniffed lightly, it seemed to have some smell, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly rushed up with an arrow, grabbed his shoulder and broke it back, and shouted: "What are you doing...... Oops, what !!" This strange cry immediately alarmed Chu Xunyu in the house, and hurriedly rushed out of the door.

Mu Yuan was about to vomit on the spot, it turned out that he saw that at this moment, the little brother Zhang had already been unrecognizable, like a beast, was squatting in the corner, gnawing on the body of his father Lao Zhangtou, the old Zhang head was disemboweled, lying on the ground, blood flowing down the corner of the wall, Zhang Xiaoge had a hideous face, his mouth was full of minced meat and internal organs, and his mouth was chewing heavily, looking back at Mu Yuan, showing a sinister smile......
