The bearded man and the others also walked in one after another, and when they saw the boy in the water tank, the bearded man frowned.

"Are you alright?" Brother Changsheng," Chen Qiusheng asked with concern.

"It's okay, he took a bite, by the way, have you found anything," Wang Changsheng shook his head, his tone changed, and he asked the bearded man.

In fact, there is no need to ask, Wang Changsheng also knew the result, he just used his divine sense to sweep the entire village, and only sensed the breath of the boy, obviously, the boy is the only living mouth in this village.

"No, Song Wu and the others checked from house to house, but they didn't see a single figure, the strange thing is that everything in those empty houses is intact, the bedding and food are still there, and it doesn't look like they have moved away," said the bearded man with some confusion.

"Could it be that the villagers have encountered bandits, after all, we only met them a few days ago," the man in blue frowned and said.

"Yes, maybe the bandits killed the villagers, or kidnapped them," the man in Tsing Yi nodded in agreement.

"No way, not a single villager's corpse was found in the village, the bandits wouldn't burn the corpses if they killed someone, and besides, the money in every family is still there, if they encounter a bandit, they can't kidnap the villagers without robbing the money," the bearded man shook his head and vetoed the two of them.

Hearing this, the man in blue and the man in green thought about it carefully, and felt that what the bearded man said was indeed reasonable.

"Anyway, now that it's getting dark, let's stay here for one night!Tomorrow, as for what happened here, when this child wakes up, the truth should be revealed," the girl in purple said slowly.

"Well, Miss Zhao is right, Song Wu, Li Gao, you go around the village, bring all the food in those empty houses, and let's stay in this village for one night," the bearded man nodded and instructed the two dart masters.

The two answered and turned to leave.

"Liu Darttou, you have been walking the rivers and lakes all year round, this child will be handed over to you, I hope you can wake him up," Wang Changsheng dropped a sentence and walked out.

Although he is an immortal cultivator, his physical body is not the incorruptible body of King Kong, and the boy's mouthful just now left a red tooth mark on the side of his right hand, and a few traces of blood can be faintly seen.

Wang Changsheng took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out some cyan powder from it, sprinkled it on the wound, and bandaged it with a white cloth.

As soon as he had done all this, the boy's frightened voice came from the room: "Don't bite me, don't bite me, don't bite me······"

Before Wang Changsheng could understand what was going on, the boy suddenly rushed out of the house and quickly ran out of the courtyard.

Wang Changsheng hesitated slightly, but still chased after him.

Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng returned to the courtyard, holding the unconscious boy in one hand.

"Come on, fainted again," Wang Changsheng put the boy down, and said to everyone helplessly.

"This kid was scared stupidly, and it was the same if he woke him up, and he couldn't get anything out of his mouth, so I didn't know what he saw, and he was scared like this," the bearded man sighed, swept the unconscious boy, and said with some sympathy.

"Anyway, since we met this child, we can't let it go, Cui'er, wait for you to feed him something, this child seems to have been hungry for days," the purple-clothed girl commanded the yellow-shirted girl.

"Got it, miss," the girl in the yellow shirt nodded in response.

"This kid keeps shouting not to bite me, you say, could it be a blind bear or a tiger who did it?" Chen Qiusheng's expression moved, and he analyzed.

"Well, it's really possible, if the bear is blind or the tiger did it, it can explain why the money and food are all in the empty house, but even if it is a bear blind or a tiger, it is impossible to bite all the people in a village to death!"

"If it wasn't the blind bear or the tiger who did it, then who did it?"

"Ghosts?haha, I didn't expect Tang Gongzi, as a scholar, to believe in ghosts and gods, there are no demons and monsters in the world at all, demons and monsters are all made up by storytellers to fool people, the old man doesn't believe in this," the bearded man laughed and said disapprerovitically.

Listening to what the three of them said, Wang Changsheng chuckled, turned around and walked out.

Wang Changsheng walked into a few courtyards and looked at it, and found that what the bearded man said was right, these empty houses were full of pots and pans, and there was a lot of food, but there was no one, not even a single corpse, but he could see a lot of chickens, ducks and geese corpses.

Suddenly, Wang Changsheng frowned, and following Wang Changsheng's gaze, he could see a simple pigsty, a huge fat pig lying motionless in the pigsty, and a pungent smell of decay filled the air.

Wang Changsheng hesitated slightly, pinched his nose, and walked over.

The closer he got to the pigsty, the stronger the smell of decay, Wang Changsheng endured his nausea, took a closer look, and found that on the neck of the fat pig, there were two finger-thick blood holes, as if they were bitten by something, except for these two blood holes, there were no other scars on the fat pig's body, obviously, the fat pig was bitten to death by something, as for what it was, it was not clear.

However, one thing is certain, this thing is definitely not a black bear or a tiger or other beast, the beast bites its prey to eat meat, how can it be left with such a big fat pig and not eat.

After Wang Changsheng turned around a few empty houses, he returned to the courtyard where the boy was found.

At this time, the girl in purple and others sat around chatting, and raised a pile of firewood to ward off the cold.

"Brother Changsheng, it's just the right time for you to come back, it's time to get ready for dinner," Chen Qiusheng smiled at Wang Changsheng and said.

"Well, what are you talking about, so happy," Wang Changsheng nodded, sat down by the firewood, and asked casually.

"I didn't say anything, just chatting, by the way, Brother Changsheng, there is only one bed in this room, I'm afraid the five of us won't be able to sleep, Wen Xuan and I plan to sleep in the next room for one night, that room has two beds, do you want to come over?" The man in blue looked at Wang Changsheng with some expectation.

"Since there are two beds next door, then the five of us can go to live next door for one night, there is no need to sleep in two separate rooms," Wang Changsheng shook his head and said lightly.

"But the next room is a big bed and a small bed, it's okay to sleep three people, can't squeeze five people, now the lights are blind, if you want to find a room with a few big beds, it's not easy to find, besides, it's next door, not far, just across a wall, it's really good to take care of it," the man in Tsing Yi said slowly.

"Brother Wencai, you also said just now, the villagers are very likely to be captured by the blind bear or the tiger, if a tiger or the blind bear break into one of the rooms in the middle of the night, even if it is closer, when the others arrive, I am afraid it will be useless! Of course, if Liu Darttou is willing to send two dart masters to protect it, maybe it will be no problem. ”

"Liu Darttou ······" The man in Tsing Yi moved his gaze to begging Xu Dahan, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the bearded man's mouth:

"Miss Zhao is our employer, and we are only responsible for protecting Miss Zhao and the others, and others are not within the scope of our protection. ”

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi looked a little disappointed, but it was not good to say anything more.

"Liu Darthead, there are seven of you, it doesn't hurt to send two dart masters to protect the five sons, Chen Gongzi They are the people who went to Beijing to catch the exam, maybe it is the next county commander, if you send two dart masters to protect them, if they become big officials in the future, they will definitely remember the kindness of your Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, Chen Gongzi, you say yes!" The girl in purple glanced at Wang Changsheng, her expression moved, and she said word by word.

"Yes, that's right," the four men in blue agreed.

"Since Miss Zhao has spoken, okay! Song Wu, Li Gao, the two of you will guard one room and protect several sons for one night," Seeing this, the bearded man thought for a while, nodded and answered, and ordered the two dart masters beside him.

"Yes, Liu Darthead," the two dart masters replied.

After dinner, the girl in purple and the others left one after another.

Wang Changsheng chose to live in the same room with Chen Qiusheng, and the dart master surnamed Li was responsible for protecting them, while the dart master surnamed Song was responsible for protecting the man in blue and the man in green clothes.

Because the bed was a little small and couldn't squeeze four people, the dart master surnamed Li held a lamp, brought two mats and two quilts from other empty rooms, and spread them on the ground.

Chen Qiusheng and the young man in the Confucian shirt did not fall asleep immediately, but lit a candle and read it at night.

Xu is reading was a little loud, which interfered with the rest of the dart master surnamed Li, so he said hello to the three of them and moved to the stove house next door.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Brother Changsheng, I'm disturbing you to rest, otherwise, you can also move to the stove house to rest! We still have to review for a while, don't worry, we will close the doors and windows, and we will shout to you if there is something," Chen Qiusheng said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, you just study your homework well, don't worry about me," Wang Changsheng shook his head and said indifferently.

"Brother Han Ming, let's be quiet!" Chen Qiusheng nodded and said to the young man in the Confucian shirt.

"Well, by the way, I heard that the imperial court has conducted a martial arts examination this year, and it is said that it is to select talents with strong martial arts, and the eldest brother is strong in martial arts, why don't you go to participate in the martial arts examination and serve the imperial court with us," the young man in the Confucian shirt seemed to think of something, and said with interest.

"I have no intention of being an official, and I don't plan to participate in the martial arts examination, okay, you can review your homework! Don't worry about me, I'll go out for a spin," After speaking, Wang Changsheng walked out.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and he couldn't see his five fingers, but this did not affect Wang Changsheng, he cast a spiritual light, and everything around him could be seen clearly.

Wang Changsheng released his divine sense and swept the entire village, but he didn't find anything abnormal, which made him somewhat relieved.

When passing through the courtyard where the three men in blue lived, Wang Changsheng saw that the house was bright, and there were bursts of reading from time to time.

The dart master surnamed Song, who is responsible for protecting the two, lives in the stove house, and from time to time he can't stand the interference of the sound of the two reading.

Wang Changsheng continued to walk forward and came to the gate of the courtyard where the purple-clothed girl lived.

"Who is it?" A rough voice suddenly sounded, and the next moment, the bearded man and the two dart masters jumped out, and when they saw Wang Changsheng, the bearded man's face softened.

"It's me, Liu Darttou, don't be nervous," Wang Changsheng said lightly.

"It turned out to be Wang Gongzi, in the middle of the night, why didn't Wang Gongzi rest in the house and run around," said the bearded man with a frown.

"The two of them were studying, their voices were a little noisy, they couldn't sleep, they were walking around, but they didn't expect to disturb Liu Dart's head," Wang Changsheng explained.

"I see, but it's dark and blind, Wang Gongzi better rest early! Don't run around, or it won't be good to be misunderstood," said the bearded man with great meaning.

When Wang Changsheng heard this, he chuckled, of course he understood the meaning of the other party's words, after all, the girl in purple was a female dependent, and in the middle of the night, he appeared near the courtyard where the girl in purple lived, which would inevitably make this Liu Darttou think more.

Wang Changsheng nodded, turned around and walked away.

"Chen Li, Chen Hu, you two stay at the door tonight, be smart, it's almost time to Dengzhou, I don't want anything to happen," the bearded man looked at Wang Changsheng's departing back, and said with some unease.

"Got it, Liu Darthead," the two dart masters said in unison.

After Wang Changsheng circled around the village, he returned to his residence.

At this time, Chen Qiusheng and the others were still studying hard, and they were very employed.

Wang Changsheng didn't bother them, he sat cross-legged on the straw mat, turned his back to the two, took out a jade slip, and put it on his eyebrows to look at it.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Qiusheng's voice sounded in Wang Changsheng's ears:

"Brother Changsheng, do you still want a lamp? ”

"Blow it out!" Wang Changsheng said without looking back, and at the same time took off the jade slip attached to the center of his eyebrows and put it away.

"Poof," Chen Qiusheng blew out the candles, the room suddenly became dark, Wang Changsheng also closed his eyes, and the room suddenly became silent.

Just when Chen Qiusheng and the others fell asleep, in a hidden cave, a thin middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the ground, and not far in front of him, there were two bronze braziers, emitting a green and faint gloomy light, reflecting the entire cave even more gloomy and gloomy.

The man had sunken cheeks, a dry face, closed eyes, and a black robe with several leather bags hanging from his waist.

A "chirping" sound suddenly sounded, and two black shadows flew into the cave.

The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his right arm, and two black shadows fell on his arms, which were two black bats the size of palms.

Two black bats landed on the middle-aged man's right arm, chirping non-stop, as if conveying something.

"What? You found a dozen people? Okay, good, great," the middle-aged man was startled at first, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Hehe, it seems that what I did was not wrong, although the essence blood of dozens of mortals is worth a cultivator, but it is better to be safe, how can it be like those fools in the sect, in order to breed a powerful corpse slave, arrest immortal cultivators everywhere to feed the corpse slaves, it is easy to be chased and killed by the righteous monks, catch more mortals, won't it be over to win by quantity? If you destroy ten more villages, you should be able to cultivate a black zombie, and when the time comes, I will be the first person to build the foundation of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, haha," In the end, the middle-aged man's expression was a little excited.

After speaking, he slapped a leather bag on his waist with his palm, and a black smoke rolled out, turning into a black bat the size of a zhang.

The middle-aged man jumped on the back of the black bat and commanded the two little bats, "Take me to the place where you found the living." ”

The two small black bats let out a strange chirp, flapped their wings, and flew out of the cave.

The black bat at the middle-aged man's feet spread its wings, turned into a black shadow, and chased after it.
