Chapter 333: Something Wrong
After passing Dingcheng, many passers-by appeared on the road to the south.
The main road leads to the north and south, one end is Qingyang City, the other end is connected to Dingcheng, and even Beitou Town outside Dingcheng, which is not surprising.
But those passers-by, dragging their families and pushing carts, full of cabinets and furniture, are obviously moving out of their homes.
There are far more than one or two such passers-by. When there is a lot, it stretches out for a mile or two.
A family is not used to living in one place, and it is nothing to change to a better place to live.
However, more than a dozen or dozens of families have agreed to move together, and it is not that they are not accustomed to living on the original land. It was that the land could not be inhabited, so the family had to flee.
Dingcheng is ahead, is Wangshan Town.
Could it be that something is wrong with Wangshan Town?
The town of Wangshan is not big. When they came, Niu Hao and the others had rescued a little girl named Xiaoshuang, who lived in Wangshan Town.
Xiaoshuang was kidnapped by a man-eating monster and walked for three years until he met Niu Hao.
It's a pity that the man-eating monster is good at disguise, and even Niu Hao couldn't see his true face, so he escaped.
So, is that monster turning back to Wangshan Town and looking for an opportunity to take revenge?
Thinking of this, Niu Hao couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ah Fu once taught Niu Hao to eliminate evil.
If you can't eliminate evil, you will leave behind troubles. It is difficult to say what kind of disaster will one day develop into a legacy that endangers others.
Niu Hao called out to the big man and asked him to accompany the carriage.
Niu Hao had to hurry to Wangshan Town to see what was going on there.
Xiao Qi followed Niu Hao.
Six degrees went to explain a few words to the nine degrees in the caravan and chased after him.
At dusk, Niu Hao and the three of them rushed to Wangshan Town.
From a distance, the smoke curling in Wangshan Town does not look like it has encountered an unforeseen storm and people's hearts are panicked.
Seeing that Wangshan Town did not encounter an accident because of his own negligence, Niu Hao calmed down.
But where did those passers-by who moved their families come from?
Wangshan Town was originally not big.
Niu Hao and the three of them entered the town and were soon seen by Xiaoshuang's father.
The little father recognized Niu Hao and enthusiastically pulled Niu Hao to the house.
Niu Hao did not shirk and followed the little father back home.
After sitting down and making tea, Xiaoshuang's father beckoned his wife and Xiaoshuang to hurry up and prepare dinner. Seeing that the two people who followed Niu Hao were not the two when they went, they had doubts in their hearts, but they were not good at asking.
Niu Hao explained:
"There are a few more people, walking slowly, still to come. β
As he spoke, Niu Hao asked again:
"On the way back, I saw a lot of people dragging their families, as if they were moving. There are quite a few households. Do you know where it came from?"
The little double father replied:
"Qingyang City. β
Niu Hao was stunned.
How could it be Qingyang City?
Qingyang city wall is high and solid, because there is the shade of Kongming Mountain, the wind and rain are smooth every year, and the grains are abundant, and there is never a war or a natural disaster. In such a good place, how many people have sharpened their heads and want to live in it, how can anyone want to move out of Qingyang City?
Niu Hao asked:
"Is there something going on in Qingyang City?"
The little father shook his head and said:
"We can't say the specifics. I only know that there are constantly residents of Qingyang City who have escaped from the city. To the north, I guess I want to escape to Dingcheng. To the east, to the south, to the west, I don't know how many people there are. β
Niu Hao thought back.
When they saw the big man and the gourd, the two guys didn't say anything happened in Qingyang City.
So something happened, that is, in the past two days.
What could it be?
Niu Hao stood up and walked towards the outside of the house.
In Wangshan Town, there is only one inn, and the scale is not large.
The inn has long been filled with people who have fled Qingyang City. Those who have not rented a room, and those who are not wealthy and are reluctant to spend money to stay in a hotel, will spend a night on the square in the center of the town.
Niu Hao came to the square and asked a middle-aged strong man:
"What happened to Qingyang City, so that you can run out with your wives and children?"
The strong man glanced at Niu Hao and said:
"If you want to know what's going on, just go back and see if you're okay. β
Niu Hao was choked by the strong man's words and was speechless for a long time.
Xiao Qi left Niu Hao and walked into the square.
It didn't take long for Xiao Qi to hold a half-old child in the crowd and coax him, waving to Niu Hao.
Niu Hao walked over.
In a large cart, the cooking utensils and sleeping beddings were all household items, stacked high and tied with large ropes.
Next to the cart stood a woman with an even smaller child in her arms. The child cried in the woman's arms.
ε°δΈ Chong Niu Hao says:
"The family was in a hurry, didn't bring anything to eat, and was hungry all day. I've already asked Rokuro to get some food. β
A man stepped out of the other end of the cart, beads of sweat on his flushed face.
When he came back, he had a few corn noodles in his hand and vegetable porridge in a clay pot in his other hand.
Liudu handed the woman the corn noodle nest and vegetable porridge.
The woman stuffed the child in her arms into the man, took the corn flour nest and vegetable porridge with great gratitude, and squatted on the ground to feed the small child.
Xiao Qi squatted down with the child in his arms, picked up the corn flour nest and dipped it in vegetable porridge like a woman, and fed it to the older child in his arms.
The man didn't know what to say to thank him, and smiled innocently at Niu Hao.
Niu Hao asked:
"What happened to Qingyang City to make so many people run out together?"
Hearing Niu Hao ask Qingyang City, the smile on the man's face disappeared. Shaking his head, he said:
"We don't know exactly what's going on. At first, I heard that a group of people had come, and they killed people when they saw them in the city. We didn't believe it yet, but the next day we saw the body on the street. β
The man looked up at Niu Hao and said:
"It's not one, it's a family that was killed in the night and thrown out into the street. Seven or eight people, it's miserable. β
Niu Hao frowned and asked again:
"Such a big thing, what about the government?"
"Where is the government? β
The man said.
Niu Hao also remembered that the city guards of Qingyang City abandoned their officials and fled. Leaving those officials with official knives is actually the ability to scare the ordinary people.
When encountering such a big thing, it is estimated that the birds and beasts would have dispersed a long time ago.
"That ......"
Niu Hao thought about it and asked again:
"Who were the people who were killed?"
"Everybody. β
man says:
"The rich people in Xicheng, the traders in Nanshikou, and the beggars begging for food along the streets. Men and women, young and old. β
The man said, shaking his head.
"It's scary. β
With such a big incident happening in Qingyang City, it is no wonder that the people in the city have fled.
"Where is the Dao Leader of Kongming Mountain?"
Niu Hao asked:
"Why don't they come out and preside over the situation?"
The man shook his head.
"Everyone only cares about running for their lives, who cares who can come out and preside over the situation. If you take a step too late, you may lose your life. β
