347 Xue Jiazhuang (2)
'Could it be that I am mistaken!?? or have they moved?'
Mo Chong was stunned for a while, and then flew to the left side of Biluo Mountain, and of course there was no sign on the left. Of course, if it's just Mo Chong's mistake, Xue Jiazhuang is such a big Zhuangzi, and Mo Chong can already see it in mid-air, how can he need to fly so close.
Flying around Biluo Mountain a few times, Mo Chong fell on the ruins of Xuejiazhuang. On the grassy ground, Mo Chong saw some masonry rubble. He was not mistaken. There are indeed people here. And, a big piece. Mo Chong searched carefully, and more things were turned out of the ground. Charred, rotting wooden beams, broken tables and chairs, dishes, furniture, and the bones of the dead. Fragments of bones, I don't know how many people, are scattered everywhere.
Seeing these bones, Mo Chong's face sank. The people of Xuejiazhuang died. At least, the vast majority are dead. Not only dead. And it is likely that he was burned alive in the Zhuangzi. What is the reason? What happened to Xue Bingbing and her family?
After a moment of silence, Mo rushed a little under his feet and broke through the air. In addition to the rubble and wreckage here, there is no clue to be found, it is impossible for him to come up with any results, it is better to find a living person to ask, such a big Zhuangzi is suddenly gone, it is impossible that no one will pay attention. He remembered that there were several large and small villages around.
Slowly flying away, flying for more than ten miles, a small village appeared on the ground in front of him. Mo Chong's face flashed with joy at first, but when he saw the situation in the village clearly. Immediately, his face became gloomy again. Because he found that the village below was completely empty. I held back the disappointment in my heart. Mo Chong fell into the middle of the village.
There was really no one in the village. However, it does not look like it has been abandoned, but like a whole village has been relocated en masse. Mo Chong checked all the way over, and the items of little value in each household were gone, and the chicken sheds and cattle pens were also empty, obviously these people not only took things away, but also brought all the livestock.
Mo Chong frowned. Flee together again, and fly forward.
Twenty miles away. There were two more adjoining villages, about the same size as the village just now, but the situation of these two villages was the same as what Mo Chong had seen in the village just now. There was no one, and everything was emptied.
This time. Mo Chong's face turned ugly. When he found that Xuejiazhuang was missing, he was only a little puzzled by the situation in Xuejiazhuang. But after looking at these villages, Mo Chong's heart had a bad premonition. The fall of Xuejiazhuang is definitely not just a fire.
He lived in Xuejiazhuang, which was originally a business, and a group of martial artists were raised in the Zhuangzi, and the people were prosperous. If only an ordinary fire. Even if it can't be extinguished, there shouldn't be so many people dead in Zhuangzi. If it's a super fire...... So why are there no traces of a fire in the vicinity of Zhuangzi?
'Is it ......'
A cold light flashed in Mo Chong's eyes and flew away. This time. Seeing the empty village again, Mo Chong stopped going down to check. After flying for seventy or eighty miles, a small village with people finally appeared in front of him. There is a big banyan tree at the head of the village, it is the height of summer, and it is noon, and there is a group of villagers chatting under the tree to cool off.
Mo Chong's eyes flashed. Far away, I walked to the banyan tree. hugged his fist at everyone and said, "Folks." By asking, how do I get from here to Xuejiazhuang?"
When everyone under the tree saw that Mo Chong was neatly dressed and did not look like an ordinary farmer, they all returned the salute, and some people said: "Xuejiazhuang? This son is afraid that he is mistaken? Near here, there are Zhaojia Village, Chenjiagou, and Lijiazhuang, but there is no Xuejiazhuang. is surnamed Xue, there are few of them. ”
Another person said: "Childe thinks it's from the city? I heard that the newly arrived county magistrate is a good official, and he doesn't have to pay the lamp oil tax in the past, is the news really true?"
There are also humanitarians: "Don't look for the son, there is no good person in Xuejiazhuang! Our girls in Zhaojia Village are all outstanding." I can work, I can do needlework, and I will honor my parents!"
“......”
Hearing everyone's gossip, Mo Chong frowned secretly. Just as he was thinking about whether to ask in another place, an old voice suddenly came from the crowd, saying, "Young man, what you are looking for, but the Xuejiazhuang that is eighty miles to the east?"
When Mo Chong heard this, he was in high spirits for a while, and said, "Exactly, old man, do you know Xuejiazhuang?"
It was a thin old man who was sitting on a bluestone under a tree and smoking a dry cigarette. At this time, everyone also looked back at him, and one of them had a good deed, and said: "Eighteen dukes, do you know?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the thin old man first smoked a few more puffs of dry tobacco, and then he knocked the dry tobacco stick in his hand on the bluestone in a hurry, and said, "Naturally, it's true." More than fifty miles to the east, there was originally a Gujia Village, as you know. Going a little further, though, there's more. In the past, there was a Yanjia village in Gujia Village. In the past, it is Xuejiazhuang. Xuejiazhuang is so big. Speaking of this, the thin old man compared the dry tobacco pole in his hand to the village behind him and said, "It's bigger than the ten in our village combined!"
I only heard the old man continue: "That year, I followed the convoy...... You know, I ran darts when I was younger, and I made a lot of friends. One of my friends is still a deputy dart head......"
Hearing the thin old man talk about his youth, Mo Chong suddenly frowned. What he wants to ask is that it was more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, the old man in front of him was at least forty or fifty years old, if he had been to Xuejiazhuang when he was young, then he would have asked in vain.
Like Mo Chong, there are also people who don't like to listen to the thin old man's glorious years, and at this time, someone interrupted: "I know! Now that people are looking for you to ask for directions, your old man is talking about these old things, but you don't delay other people's trips?"
The thin old man was obviously not very happy when he heard someone interrupt, but he also put on a look that he was not as knowledgeable as a young boy, and said to Mo Chong seriously: "Young man, if you are going to Naxuejiazhuang, I advise you not to go." Because when I went, I went in vain. ”
The rest of the people didn't understand the meaning of the thin old man's words, but Mo Chong was in good spirits and said, "What did the old man say?"
The thin old man muttered, "Yes." Five-year ...... Well, six years ago. I once met my old friend who was a dart head in the city. He talked about Xuejiazhuang at that time. A few years ago, he happened to take a dart to Xuejiazhuang, only to find that Xuejiazhuang was on fire. Many people inside were crying and running, but no one could run out of the Zhuangzi, as if there was some invisible barrier outside the Zhuangzi, and they could only be fainted by the smoke one by one and burned to death by the fire. When my friend saw this strange scene, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to ask for a dart car, so he ran away with someone. Fortunately, this dart was entrusted to him by the people of Xuejiazhuang, and now everyone is dead, and no one is looking for him to settle accounts. ”
"Invisible barrier!?" Mo Chong's eyes flashed. He asked someone to ask, just to find some clues, but he didn't expect to get such amazing information at once.
The thin old man lit the dry cigarette again at this time, and took a puff before continuing: "That's what he said. I don't know what the facts are. However, the people in the villages around Xuejiazhuang can say that Xuejiazhuang is evil. All moved away. ”
"Uncle, your friend's name is Lu Wei, right? I don't know which dart game he is working in, and where is the dart board?"
The thin old man nodded and said, "Yes." However, my friend is no longer a bodyguard. Something like this happened. He survived the rest of his life. I've long washed my hands. Now he is his rich man in Anxi City. ”
"Anxi City?" Mo Chong frowned. Someone next to him said: "Anxi City is in the southwest, forty miles away from here. ”
Mo Chong smiled: "Oh. Thank you. I see, this big rock at the head of your village is blocked here, you can only pass people, you can't drive horses, open this road today, and use it as a resource to ask for directions. After speaking, Mo Chong pressed his palm back gently, and the palm wind was everywhere, and the boulder at the head of the village, which was seven or eight zhang high and more than ten zhang square, was moved back four or five zhang, and a flat road suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone under the tree saw Mo Chong at first, but they only thought he was a rich boy, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Mo Chong's move. When they came back to their senses and went to see Mo Chong, where was Mo Chong's shadow?
Anxi City.
"This brother, by asking, is there a family surnamed Lu nearby?" Mo Chong fell away in Anxi City, and immediately stopped a young man passing by at random.
The young man glanced at Mo Chong and said, "What are you looking for a person surnamed Lu?"
Mo Chong smiled and said, "Visit friends." ”
The young man immediately shook his head and said, "Nonsense!"
Mo Chong was stunned for a moment and said, "Why am I talking nonsense?"
The young man said: "The surname Lu in the neighborhood is my family. I don't know you. ”
'Such a coincidence?' Mo Chong touched his nose and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Lu Gongzi." Ling Zun is 'Twin Sword Overlord Lu Wei'?"
As soon as the young man heard the words 'Double Sword Overlord', his face immediately changed, and he said, "My father has already washed his hands in a golden basin! And my family's knife technique has not been handed down again. You want to find someone to compete in martial arts, find someone else, my family is not welcome!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, strode away, took a few steps, and turned back and said: "I sue you, don't follow me, and don't want to cause trouble." Although my father washes his hands, the plain dart game is still open, if you dare to make trouble, Mr. Lu will definitely not sit idly by!"
Mo Chong stood in place, looking at the young man's distant back, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then disappeared from the spot. (To be continued)
