Chapter Seventy-Two: No Way Out
"Thousands of miles to kill, good name!"
When the three of them heard the name of Yue Izumo, they immediately said hello for a while, but this was not the time to discuss this, because the scholars on the side had already chatted with the people not far away.
The four of them immediately went up to listen, but they heard the trembling old man in front of the scholar choked up: "This fire was burned from half a month ago, and no one knows exactly when it was, it was at night, and everyone slept well, so I heard someone outside shouting that the forest was on fire." ”
"Half a month ago, or at night?, old man, did you see someone disappear from the village at that time?" the scholar asked after a moment's thought.
The old man wiped the corners of his eyes when he heard this, and carefully recalled the situation that night, but the old man's memory was not good after all, and after thinking for a long time, he just said: "What happened on the night when the fire started, I don't know who was missing, but when we came here later, there were a lot fewer people in the existence." ”
"But unfortunately left in the fire?" the scholar asked.
The old man shook his head: "No, after the fire passed, all the people in our village went to the original house to find food, not to mention food, even the roof of the house was burned to ashes." There is nothing to eat here, so every family has looked very carefully, and I have never seen anyone burned to death in the fire during this period, alas, the people in the village have never done anything against their will, why should God punish Liujia Village so much. ”
Hearing this, the scholar looked at Yuechuyun on the side, and Yueqiyun shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, the old man immediately understood that several people were together, and immediately said: "Little Lao'er is the oldest in this Liujia Village, why do you want to come here if you don't have a few sons?"
Before the scholar could speak, he saw Yue Izumo come forward and salute the old man: "Don't worry, old man, a few of us are just from the rivers and lakes, and I heard that people are frequently missing here, so I came to investigate, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Liujia Village." It's just that I heard the old man say that there is not much to eat here, so why don't you take the villagers elsewhere?"
"It's not that I don't want to take them away, it's that they don't want to. The old man said that there were a few more tears in his eyes again, and the sadness was overflowing.
"I see. Yue Izumo said and motioned to a few people around him, and then retreated.
It wasn't until he left the place where the people of Liujia Village stayed that Yue Chuyun chose a place that could block the wind and stopped. The five of them dismounted, and when they heard the scholar ask, "Brother Yue, what did you guess when Old Lady Liu spoke?"
"I can guess what. Yue Izumo smiled bitterly, "I just understand their thoughts, they were born and raised here, so they naturally don't want to leave, and even if they leave, they want to leave with their families." According to what Mrs. Liu said, there should be a lot less people after the fire in Liujia Village, and they will not leave if they can't wait for news from these people. ”
"Then we just watched this group of people starve to death here?" Ah Xiao asked, "I am a beggar, so I naturally know what it feels like to be hungry." Once upon a time, starvation for a meal or two was already in great pain for me, and I couldn't stand to starve this group of people to death. ”
"But admittedly, there is nothing we can do about it. Yue Izumo shook his head.
"If I can't solve it, I'll send them on my way. ”
Everyone was shocked and looked at the knife without a trace. There was a flash of murder in Dao Wuji's eyes, and it was even colder than before.
"If it's time to liberate them, it's okay. Yue Chuyun said slowly under the surprised gazes of several people, but then he suddenly laughed: "But no need, someone is coming!"
"Anyone?"
Several of them were Dao realm masters, and after hearing Yue Chuyun's reminder, they also discovered the aura that followed their group not far away. Not long after, a figure dressed in a coarse cloth short coat appeared in front of several people, glanced at the few people in front of him, and immediately hugged his fist towards Yue Izuyun and said: "Qian Gang Sanniang's subordinates are promoted, I have seen Mr. Yue." ”
"Gao Sheng, I've heard your name and seen you, but I didn't expect you, as Zheng Sanniang's confidant, to be willing to let you risk your life to come to such a place. Yue Izumo asked with a smile, "But since you are here, it means that the people of the Money Gang are not far from here, and with the help of the Money Gang, the people here can also rebuild their homes." ”
Mr. Moon praised it falsely. ”
"But I have some questions for you, you came a lot before us, do you know what's going on here?"
The man named Gao Sheng fell into thought when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "Don't hide it, Mr. Yue, it's really not long since I came down here, and I have indeed encountered a lot of strange things. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Yue Izumo and his party as they suddenly looked at each other.
Seeing this, Gao Sheng immediately pointed to the direction he came from and said, "Mr. Yue wants to come to investigate the frequent disappearances of the people in southern Xinjiang, but he is in Liujia Village...... To tell the truth, the day after the fire, he came here to pretend to be a homeless person and live with the people of Liujia Village, but then he found that after the fire, the people of Liujia Village were actually only one less, but after that, the villagers disappeared one by one for no reason. ”
"What!"
Tsukizumo was startled and asked, "What the hell is going on!"
According to the villagers of Liujia Village, there was a woman named Liu Qifei who was looking for her husband on the night of the fire, but everyone didn't care about it when it was late at night. Who knew that there was a fire that night, and the people in the village could still care about helping this girl find her husband. And when I came here, in fact, everyone was still looking for the husband of the Liu family, and the others were just separated because they were separated, so they thought that many people were missing. Gao Sheng said.
"In this way, in fact, the disappearance of the people of Liujia Village actually started after the fire?" the scholar asked.
Gao Sheng nodded: "So to speak." ”
"Brother Yue, what should I do?" Lu Weifang turned to Yue Izumo and asked.
Wait, according to what the elder brother said, it seems that the people behind the scenes are just a pretense, and the purpose is just to take advantage of the chaos to take away some lonely people, so as to ensure that they are not exposed. So according to their ideas, maybe when the people here go out to find food again, they may be able to do it again. Tsukizumo said with a frown.
"How long will it take?" asked Knife Traceless suddenly.
Yue Zhuyun shook his head: "This is just a way to do no way, all we can do now is to wait, and see if the people behind the scenes will continue to do it, as long as I don't catch one of them, it is a good way to abolish the internal power and let him say everything with the technique of sound illusion." But we can't wait long, when the senior brother brings the brothers of the Money Gang over, I don't think the people behind the scenes will definitely make any more moves. If they don't do it again, how about we go to another place to investigate?"
