Chapter 317: Village

Some people say that there are no absolute good people and no absolute bad people in this world.

This statement is actually quite true, because if a person does not understand what you do, he will never know if you are a good person or a bad person.

The definition of a good person is not necessarily goodness.

The definition of a bad guy is not necessarily killing.

Just like the Northwest Army, in the eyes of people outside the Ye Kingdom, the Northwest Army is a butcher army that kills people without blinking.

There are few people in the world who think that the Northwest Army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and they all say that the Northwest Army, under the leadership of Chu Yujia, a wolf cub, is ten times more brutal than his father Chu Qianwen.

After all, how did Chu Qianwen lead the Northwest Army to slaughter the city, and he killed people outside the Mingwu Empire.

Chu Yujia was different, among the people he killed, there were too many people from within the Mingwu Empire.

It is precisely because of such polarization that in later generations, the word 'old and new' will be added to the Northwest Army.

The old Northwest Army, unparalleled in the world in cavalry, invincible in the world, Chu Qianwen is a great general......

The New Northwest Army, with ingenious tactics and devastating weapons, Chu Yujia is a general in troubled times......

Of course, Chu Yujia himself doesn't care about his reputation, let alone what the outside world thinks of him.

For himself, as long as he has not forgotten his original intention, everything is still normal.

Halfway through the journey, Chu Yujia and his party did not take the official road, but took a more secluded and deep path.

Generally speaking, businessmen will never take this road, after all, this road is not easy to walk, and the other point is that the road is not very peaceful.

Even if they walked all the way and did not go to look for them, they could see some caravanserais killed by the mountain bandits and the very badly damaged carriages.

And there is also a very important point, that is, Chu Yujia told Al Can that he had offended the high-ranking nobles of Gumo Country and needed to act in secret, so Al Can would take them on this road.

Later in the evening, the caravan stopped outside a small village.

Chu Yujia glanced at the belt carrying the water bladder and said, "Yan Ju, find a place to get some water and food to come back." ”

"Yes, Childe......"

After Yan Ju nodded, he hit the horse and went straight.

At this time, the little monk who had been following Chu Yujia not far from and did not speak suddenly said, "Donor, we shouldn't settle here......

"Why?"

Chu Yujia narrowed his eyes and looked at the little monk with some puzzlement.

The little monk pursed his lips and said, "There is a saying in your Mingwu Empire that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed......

Seeing his appearance of the old god, Chu Yujia was really lazy to pay attention to him, but he also planted a seed of doubt in his heart, and glanced at Sheng Guang without leaving a trace.

Sheng Guang knew and also hit a horse into the village.

Yan Ju, who left first, had already walked outside the village at this time.

I don't know if it's my own delusion or what, after entering this village, Yan Ju felt that something was wrong.

There was a rancid smell in the village, and there was not a single sound in the village, not even the very ordinary roosters and dogs barking.

Just when Yan Ju was full of doubts, he suddenly saw a shirtless guy wearing only a pair of tattered pants running out of the village, and while running, he was vaguely shouting some Gumo words.

He didn't have Chu Yujia's talent, and until now he could only speak a few words of Gumoguo's daily language, and he didn't understand the rest.

And this person obviously has some problems with his brain, and his speech is slurred, and Yan Ju is even more incomprehensible.

However, Yan Ju didn't think much about it, and according to Chu Yujia's instructions, he wanted to go into the village to buy some food and drink from these villagers.

But Yan Ju knocked on the doors of several houses in a row, but no one opened the door for him.

Yan Ju scratched his head and said inexplicably: "Could it be that this village is just such a fool?"

It can't be.

The village is full of thatched houses, and now it's dinner time, and the occasional smoke from a few earthen houses can be seen from a long distance.

What's even more strange is that every house in this village has a kennel-like shack in its yard, but there are no dogs in it at all.

In fact, seeing this, Yan Ju didn't feel anything.

After all, most of the people in Gumo make a living from farming and hunting, which is either used to raise dogs or to raise prey in captivity.

Next, Yan Ju knocked on the doors of several more houses, but no one opened them for him, not even a sound.

Just when Yan Ju was about to give up and go back to Chu Yujia to restore his life, suddenly a scream that seemed to be out of nowhere floated from afar.

Hearing this voice, Yan Juleng paused, listened carefully for a while, and determined that the voice was coming from not far in front of his location.

The ghost sent the gods, and Yan Ju walked over.

At this time, Yan Ju was already angry in his heart.

In the past, no matter where he went, as long as he showed the silver, the local villagers didn't treat them as ancestors?

But when you get here, everything changes, and the whole village is like a dead village, and no one takes care of it.

Yan Ju walked directly to the door of the house where the voice came from, raised his hand and patted the door, and said in Gumo dialect: "Is there anyone, we are a business traveler from other places, and we want to buy some supplies needed on the road here......"

This was taught to him by Chu Yujia, after all, Chu Yujia couldn't come forward to solve the problem every time.

If Chu Yujia had to do everything himself, then why did he need these deputy generals to do?

Eating rice?

However, there was still no reaction from the house in front of him, but a short middle-aged man came out of the room on the other side.

The middle-aged man had dark skin and looked to be in his forties, probably because of his constant labor, his back was bent like a bow, and his clothes were patched like a beggar.

When the man opened the door and came out to see Yan Ju, he was obviously stunned.

After all, there are very few Mingwu people who do business in Gumo Country, and even fewer Mingwu people who come here.

So this middle-aged man should also be the first time to see Mingwuren.

In this regard, Yan Ju was not surprised at all, and immediately spoke: "Brother, we are from the Mingwu Empire, and we are going to Nia to do business, can you sell us some water and food?"

The middle-aged man nodded blankly, then beckoned to Yan Ju, and entered the courtyard first.

Seeing this, Yan Ju did not hesitate, tied the horse to the tree outside, and he followed the footsteps of the middle-aged man.

Before the house could get closer, a middle-aged woman stepped out of the house.

When the middle-aged woman saw Yan Ju, she also froze for a moment, and then said a few words to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man should have explained Yan Ju's identity to the woman, perhaps because of the money she made, the woman looked very happy and turned around and entered the house.

After a short time, the woman came out of the house with a bowl of water and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said: "It's hard work, guests from afar, let's drink a bowl of water and rest first......

Yan Ju was a little surprised by the sudden enthusiasm of this middle-aged man, and he was stuffed with a bowl of water in his hand in a daze.

Yan Ju is a runner, almost all of them have a subconscious reaction to this kind of thing, and after taking the water bowl, he said, "Then thank you brother......"

When the words fell, Yan Ju took the water bowl and sent it to his mouth.

Seeing this, the eyes of the middle-aged couple flashed with obvious evil......
