Zhang Yuan took the money and looked at the people on the street with puzzled eyes.

The residents seemed to have a distinctly nervous atmosphere, coming and going, all of them bowing their heads and hurrying away, and even the stalls were too far less, and they looked deserted.

This is not at all the same as his impression of Chu Jiangcheng!

"Looks like something really happened. ”

Zhang Yuan was suspicious.

He walked towards the rice shop, slapped the table, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, as usual, 1,000 catties of rice, 1,000 catties of noodles." ”

The shopkeeper was a short and thin middle-aged man in his forties, who hurriedly walked over from the inner hall and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhang, I knew you would come, and I had already prepared the things you wanted in advance." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, handed over all the twenty taels of silver to the other party, and suddenly asked suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Zhang, is there something wrong in this city?" ”

The shopkeeper's face changed, his eyes looked left and right, pulled Zhang Yuan aside, and sighed in a low voice: "Something is indeed wrong, hey, you should have seen it, the Huoyun Army of the imperial court has been dispatched." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Yuan became curious.

"Five days ago on the night, Zhang Yuanwai's family of eighty-nine was suddenly bitten to death by a crazy sow, everyone died miserably, the news has been blocked, but it still came out. ”

The shopkeeper's face turned pale and he said in a low voice.

"Sow?"

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened and he said, "What kind of joke is this? Even if it is an elephant, it is impossible to bite so many people to death." ”

He had heard of a sow going up a tree, but he had never heard of a sow biting a man.

"Whisper, whisper. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his finger and whispered again: "This is nothing?" The Fang butcher family at the entrance of the street, three days ago on the night, suddenly all died violently, when the corpse was carried out, it did not seem to have any injuries from the outside, nor did there any signs of poisoning, but the yamen's puppet opened their abdominal cavity, and countless maggots came out of it directly, and the puppet went crazy that night, killed all the old and young for a day, escaped, and has not found a trace until now. ”

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

What the hell is wrong with this Nima world.

The death of people in Black Eagle Fort was already sensational enough, and even such a terrible thing happened in Chujiang City.

Killed by a sow!

Arched to death by maggots!

And being scared crazy and killing the whole family?

He felt like he was listening to a comic novel.

"Also, the night before yesterday, the mother-in-law of the silk shop on East Street suddenly disappeared, and I didn't look for her until this morning, guess where you found it?"

The shopkeeper was mysterious and a little nervous.

"Where?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"Under the bed of their house, when they were found, half of their faces were gone, but the person was still alive, but unfortunately after being carried out for half an hour, he suddenly turned black and bleeding pus, and then only a pair of bones remained. ”

The shopkeeper's face turned pale.

"How so?"

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened completely.

"Who knows, there is news from the Yamen, saying that it is caused by the Jianghu sect seeking revenge, let us strictly guard the tone, no one is allowed to discuss or speculate, the market is closed three hours early in the evening, and no one is allowed to go out after the market is closed. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"Jianghu sects seeking revenge?"

Zhang Yuan's face changed.

Fuck, it's weird to believe you!

The old sow can bite more than 80 people to death.

What Jianghu sect can breed such an old sow?

This is similar to their Black Eagle Fort disciples turning into dried corpses!

It's probably some kind of weird event!

"Okay, don't say much, you must be back home before dark, otherwise, it will not be good to be targeted by someone. ”

The shopkeeper advised, "By the way, I'll let someone move things for you." ”

He greeted a few guys, picked up the rice noodles, and followed Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan's heart went up and down.

Not only did something happen to Black Eagle Fort, but even Chujiang City, the largest city within a radius of three hundred miles, had an accident.

What kind of world is this?

And he noticed that these events had happened, all in the last three to five days.

There have been some strange incidents in the past, but they have always happened once in decades.

But now in just five days, so much has happened!

And he happened to travel over during this time.

Could it be that there is some connection between his own crossing and these strange events?

Zhang Yuan's mind was spinning rapidly.

Soon, all the rice and noodles were loaded into the carriage, and at this time, Xiaohuan also bought all the vegetables.

She didn't seem to notice the changes in Chujiang City, humming a little song, sitting in the carriage, and quietly waiting for Elder Ma to pick up.

Looking at her, Zhang Yuan suddenly had a bad taste in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xiaohuan, how about I tell you a story?"

"You can tell stories?"

Xiaohuan looked at him curiously.

"That's nature. ”

Zhang Yuan showed a touch of pride and said with a smile: "Anyway, once upon a time, there was a big family, in the middle of the night, when the third watch, a little maid came out to go to the toilet urgently, and saw the old servant who was cleaning the house, who was mopping the floor in the dark, she walked up and asked, 'Why mopping the floor at this time', the old servant turned back to her and smiled a few words, the little maid felt a little puzzled, and didn't care, and went back to sleep after going to the toilet, and the next morning, everyone was surprised to find that the courtyard corridor and toilet were red, and there were traces of dragging around'' It turned out that the old servant was not holding a mop at all, but a person, and the rag that mopped the floor was the hair of that person''"

After speaking, Xiaohuan suddenly felt a chill, and his cold hair stood up.

"What's your story?"

"It's called an aftertaste. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled.

Xiaohuan's face suddenly turned a little pale.

At this time, Elder Ma, who had a gloomy face, finally walked back from the yamen.

Zhang Yuan frowned, keenly aware that Elder Ma's expression was wrong, and he seemed to have something on his mind.

"What's going on?" Elder Ma. ”

He asked curiously.

"It's an eventful season, don't ask, let's go back quickly. ”

His face was extremely ugly, and he must have received some very bad news from the yamen.

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to continue to ask more, got into the carriage, and a group of people began to leave the city.

At this moment, the sky is dark, there are very few people out of the city, the city is closed early, and there are no people on the streets.

Elder Ma asked Zhang Yuan to light the lantern, and a group of people walked towards Black Eagle Castle.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that it was best not to go out at night. ”

Zhang Yuan said hesitantly.

"We're close and out of the way. ”

Elder Ma took a sip of wine and spoke.

Zhang Yuan said no more.

After being cross-examined, the group headed in the direction of Fort Black Hawk.

More than ten miles away, when I came, I didn't ask for an hour.

But when he went back, Zhang Yuan was puzzled and found that he had walked for a long time, but he hadn't reached Black Eagle Castle.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was already completely dark.

According to conservative estimates, an hour has definitely passed.

"Elder Ma, why are we still here?"

Zhang Yuan suddenly pointed to a broken tree root in confusion and said, "Look, did we pass by here before?"

Elder Ma's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Drive!"

He swung his whip and sped up the carriage.

Zhang Yuan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Nima.

It can't be a ghost hitting the wall!

The broken tree root was located in the middle of Black Eagle Fort and Chujiang City, and it was only five or six miles away from each other, but it seemed that it was impossible to rush through these five or six miles.

Elder Ma kept flicking his whip and hurried forward without saying a word.

More than an hour had passed, and they had reappeared in front of the broken root.

Xiaohuan's face turned pale with fright.

"We're lost?"

She tried not to let herself think about the ghost hitting the wall, but even so, her voice was still a little trembling.

I've been back and forth seven or eight times.

No matter how you look at it, it's extraordinary.
