Chapter 60: Henglong (3/5)
In the north of Huilong Town, at the foot of Henglong Mountain, there is a small village with only dozens of households, because most of the villagers in the village are surnamed Liu, so it is called Xiaoliu Village. Liu Laoqi, who discovered the tomb of the martial saint, was the mountain people in this small Liu village.
Xiaoliu Village was originally a quiet small village, although it was not particularly wealthy, but with the abundant products in the Henglong Mountain, whether it was hunting or collecting medicine, it could also ensure that food and clothing were worry-free, and even had a small surplus at the end of the year. For ordinary people, it is already a rare satisfaction.
It's a pity, because of the Martial Saint Tomb that Liu Laoqi inadvertently discovered, after the news spread, countless people from the rivers and lakes poured into this small mountain village that should have been indisputable, and the peace and tranquility of Xiaoliu Village were completely broken immediately.
When Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian walked into this Xiaoliu Village, they found that in Xiaoliu Village, almost every house was closed doors, except for a dozen elderly people gathered in the village and a few earth dogs barking at outsiders, Qingzhuang, women and children were not visible.
"Where have all the people in this village gone?" Yu Wenqian asked curiously.
Xiao Suifeng silently watched the Jianghu people who walked into the village, only to see that they seemed to know the situation in the village for a long time, and they didn't stay long, just walked through the village and walked towards Henglong Mountain. And the dozen or so old people who stayed in the village obviously hated and feared these Jianghu people.
Seeing this, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help frowning, and his originally indifferent face also added a little gloom.
And Yu Wenqian looked around, and walked towards the old people sitting in the village, but, as Yu Wenqian approached, the dozen or so old people looked obviously vigilant, and even stared at Yu Wenqian with hateful eyes, a few of them looked at the thin old men who were estimated to be seventy or eighty years old, and they were a little unstable on their feet, but they held the wooden staff in their hands tightly, and they actually made a look like they were going to beat people.
Yu Wenqian didn't say anything, and she encountered such a situation, and she was a little confused for a while. Xiao Suifeng saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but come over silently, stretched out his hand to grab her, and shook his head gently, "Don't bother these old people, ask someone else." ”
Yu Wenqian looked at Xiao Suifeng's expression, feeling a little aggrieved, but she seemed to have noticed something, and nodded silently.
It's just that in this little Liu village, there is no one else except these old people, who can they inquire about? Could it be those earth dogs barking at them?
The two were speechless for a while, and walked directly through Xiaoliu Village and walked towards Henglong Mountain.
When he was about to leave the village, he happened to meet a pair of young women who had just come out of Henglong Mountain, looking at the appearance of the dusty servant, he should have entered the Henglong Mountain Range before, and he was going down the mountain at this moment, and he didn't know whether to give up looking for the tomb of the martial saint or do something else.
Seeing this, Yu Wenqian and Xiao Suifeng greeted them, "Please take a slow step." ”
The two of them stopped, seeing that the look was indeed very tired, Yu Wenqian saw it in her eyes, and said in her heart that looking for the Martial Saint Tomb, I'm afraid it is not so easy, thinking about it in her heart, Yu Wenqian opened her mouth and asked with a chuckle, "Please stay, there are some things, I want to ask you about them." ”
Hearing Yu Wenqian say that they wanted to inquire about things, the two looked at Yu Wenqian and Xiao Suifeng, and they both showed vigilant looks, and the young man among them said coldly, "We haven't found anything in the mountains, I'm afraid there is nothing to tell you." ”
Knowing that these two people had the wrong intentions, Yu Wenqian couldn't help but shake her head and said, "The two of you have misunderstood, we don't want to inquire about the Martial Saint Tomb, but we want to ask why the people in this Xiao Liu Village are gone." ”
It turned out to be Xiaoliu Village.
The two looked at each other, obviously relieved.
The young man in one of them thought about it, but really said why.
It turned out that Xiao Liu Village should not have been so deserted.
Although there are only dozens of households in Xiaoliu Village, there are hundreds of people, which may not be very lively, but it is also quite vibrant.
Since the news of the excavation of the Wusheng Tomb leaked, the nearby Jianghu people were the first to come, originally, only Liu Laoqi's family hid because they were afraid, and the rest of the villagers were not greatly affected, and even some of them were clever enough to take the Jianghu people into the mountain, and they also got a lot of rewards.
But the Jianghu people attracted by this martial saint tomb can be described as three religions and nine streams, good and evil, among which there are a few tyrannical green forest strongmen, after entering the mountain several times but gaining nothing, in a fit of rage, they actually killed the mountain people who were their guides and killed them, and did a case of extermination.
As soon as this incident came out, the villagers who were still secretly happy for another way to make money were completely frightened, and for a while, not only did no one want to take people into the mountains no matter how much money was given, but as more and more people in the rivers and lakes, the villagers even began to flee from Xiaoliu Village.
So, the final result is what Yu Wenqian and Xiao Suifeng are like in front of them.
The dozen or so old people were also old and had inconvenient legs and feet, so they stayed in Xiaoliu Village. Under such circumstances, it would be really strange if these old people could have a good impression of the people in the rivers and lakes!
After listening to this cause and effect, Xiao Suifeng's face was as cold as ever, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but Yu Wenqian didn't hide his anger, and cursed hatefully, "These damn guys, it's best not to fall into the hands of this girl!"
Xiao Suifeng raised his head and looked at the Henglong Mountain from afar, and even answered in a low voice, "It's really damned!"
The two people who introduced the situation to Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian, seeing their expressions like this, couldn't help but look a little weird, shook their heads, and continued to leave.
Looking at the back of the swordsman, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but lose his mind. Also, those who kill people do deserve to die, but in the eyes of those mountain people, what is the difference between themselves and those people?
Seeing Xiao Suifeng looking at the swordsman silently stunned, his expression was a little gloomy and lonely, Yu Wenqian was exquisite, and immediately understood what Xiao Suifeng was thinking.
Quietly holding Xiao Suifeng's hand, seeing Xiao Suifeng looking at him, Yuwen Qian smiled playfully, "Childe, are you thinking nonsense? Does Childe think that Qian'er is also the same as those wicked people who kill their families and destroy their families?"
Seeing Xiao Suifeng shaking his head silently, Yu Wenqian said softly, "Good and evil are in the heart, not in the rivers and lakes, and it is those wicked people who do evil, not Qian'er and Gongzi." As for the appearance of the Martial Saint Tomb, it is also a number of days, and we are just at the right time, so why should the prince mess with his heart?" As she spoke, Yuwen Qian smiled coldly, and a chill could not help but reveal in her eyes, "If the prince feels that he can't see it, then eliminate the evil for the people!"
The killing intent that Yu Wenqian said was awe-inspiring, Xiao Suifeng looked at Yu Wenqian silently, and it was not strange to her decisiveness, but it was Yu Wenqian's words of relief that pointed directly to the good and evil of people's hearts, which surprised him.
In fact, Xiao Suifeng just heard about the murder case, and thought of his body for a while, which aroused his emotions. But he is a resolute and resolute person, and if he calms down at this moment, his mind will naturally not be shaken again. However, Yu Wenqian's words still touched Xiao Suifeng deeply, and his understanding of Yu Wenqian in his heart was also deeper.
Laughing softly, Xiao Suifeng didn't say much, just silently clenched Yu Wenqian's hand, and resolutely walked towards Henglong Mountain.
