Chapter 210: Ancient Village's Fright (2)

Old man Li smiled and walked over with a piece of skin, sat on the kang, and said proudly: "Look at it, look at it, it's good."

Chu Xunyu took it and saw that it was indeed not an ordinary person. Although it was nothing in the world of cultivation, it would definitely be able to sell for a good price in the mortal market. So he reached out and gestured: "One tael of silver."

"Okay!" Old Man Li was even happier, "It turns out that he is an expert in identifying goods. The young man is not very old and is indeed a master. I sold it."

Chu Xunyu paid the bill directly and asked, "Old man, what other good things are there? Take them out and show us."

"Okay, you guys wait." Old Li shouted at the top of his throat, "Old woman, hurry, hurry, hurry, take it out."

"Here you." The old lady dragged a large string of mountain goods into the door, put it casually on the ground, rubbed her hands and smiled silly, "Look at it, look at it."

Chu Xunyu bent down and picked and chose. He had some good herbs and furs. He bought them all. Old Li was so happy that he couldn't even close his head. At this time, Chu Xunyu straightened up and nodded: "Old man, these are the only ones."

Old Li touched the silver, his face was red, and he shook his hand proudly: "You should know the goods, so let's have two cups of drinks and leave after drinking."

"That's not possible." Chu Xunyu pretended to be embarrassed, "There are other goods from other families, we all want to go and take a look."

"It's okay, listen to me." Old Li waved his hand, "Old woman, it's already noon. I'll have two drinks with a few little brothers."

"Uncle, don't, we have to go to other people's houses." Guanyue Xiaosheng also pretended to be embarrassed and agreed with Chu Xunyu.

"What are you afraid of?" Old Li glared at the cow's eyes, "My surname is Li, and my son is the village chief!"

"Okay, okay." Mu Yuan couldn't stand him like this the most, "I know your surname is Li, and your son is the village chief."

"That's right, we're not afraid. At that time, I'll tell the whole village that I want to change things. I'll just get it here to find you, so it's easier to save trouble." The old woman brought the wine and food, and Lao Li took a sip and began to get drunk.

Chu Xunyu winked, Guanyue Xiaosheng and Wangchen sat up and drank with Lao Li. Mu Yuan and Mei Wan sat on the side to eat some dried fruits. After three rounds of wine, Lao Li's face turned red. He spoke with everyone with his tongue and talked about trivial matters about family matters. As a young lady, Mei Wan naturally couldn't stand such a scene, so she winked Chu Xunyu repeatedly, hoping that he would do the important business quickly. Chu Xunyu saw it and naturally understood in his heart, so he asked tentatively: "Uncle, do you have many merchants from the Central Plains in your village?"

"It's so much, why not." Old Li stuttered, "It depends on what season it is. There are more summer in summer, and there are not many people in winter, twelfth lunar month and twelfth lunar month. Hi, everyone knows that we are cold and winter, and we don't want to come."

"Oh, let's do this time?" Chu Xunyu asked in a casual manner.

"Oh? Oh, yes, yes, you guys." Old Li was stunned for a moment, and then called him.

"Grandpa, isn't there anyone else?" The little girl interrupted her mouth naively.

"Nonsense, unlucky child, you just talk too much!" Old Li's eyes rolled, and then said fiercely to the girl's baby, making the child no longer dare to speak. Looking back, Chu Xunyu and the others stared at him, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, "It's not that I won't tell you that no one is here, no one is here."

Guanyue Xiaosheng turned his eyes and climbed up the pole: "Hi, uncle, what are you afraid of? We are also regular customers who travel around the world. It's no big deal if something happens. Just tell me, just listen to it as a joke. We have also done some business. If you really make trouble, we won't report to the official."

These words made Old Li feel a lot relieved, but he still looked heartbroken: "I'm not a man, I'm cruel, I really don't do my business. That girl has nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter."

At this time, Mu Yuan also learned to tell lies, pressed all his thoughts in his heart, and asked as if he was interested, "Uncle, what's going on, let's talk about it."

"Hey... how to say it, this is evil." Old Li chewed a peanut and said slowly, "It was a while ago that a girl from Zhongyuan came here. I guess she should have come in the middle of the night. Why? Because we all saw him the next morning, and she saw her standing on the south side of the village. The body of Lao Wang's family was covered in blood. It looked scary, and then we chased him, but the girl ran away.

It was so fast that when we turned around, we disappeared. We didn't chase after this. At first, we wanted to report to the official, but then we thought, what if this daughter was a cruel thief? That day, she must be a ruthless character. When we reported to the official, she would definitely come to settle the score with us. So we discussed it privately and buried Lao Wang's family in the west. We were not allowed to tell others, so we did not make a big deal."

"Nonsense! She is not a big thief!" Mu Yuan couldn't help but scream.

"Huh? How did you know?" Old Li looked at Mu Yuan with a strange look with excitement.

"Oh, no, no, he has drunk too much." Chu Xunyu quickly tried to smooth things over. Fortunately, Old Li also drank too much, not caring whether Mu Yuan had really drunk wine. "Oh, I'll ask you, did that girl bring anything with her?"

"thing?"

"Yes, piano or something?"

"Then I don't know. I ran too fast and didn't see clearly."

"Oh..." This passage was very essayed, and the five people were secretly guessing whether this woman was Shang Qian. Now she had a question mark. After all, Shang Qian was a disciple of the Legal family. How could a little girl with a simple heart do the killing of mortals? It should be noted that the local wizards didn't care about killing mortals here, especially since they had not seen clearly whether the man was carrying a piano on his back. This matter was even more strange.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xunyu asked, "Uncle, are there any inns nearby? We have to stay in the hotel late."

"Inn? Yes, yes, on the east side of the village, Lao Zhang's family, usually when there are too many merchants coming, they will give up their empty houses and make a few small money as inns. If no one comes in winter, they will be idle there. If you go and ask, you should be able to live there."

After hearing Lao Li say it, he is calculating in his heart. So after saying goodbye to Lao Li, he went out to inquire about the methods to go to the inn and collected a lot of mountain goods along the way. Mu Yuan was lucky. He collected a piece of mink, but he asked him five taels of silver. He was so heartbroken that he collected mountain goods all the way to the east. He asked Shang Qian some things indirectly, but he was very strict. He probably was determined and would not speak any more.

It was easy to find out that the old Wang family in Dongtou and knocked directly into the house. The person came was an old man full of wood chips and a son. They probably were from the Wang family. As soon as they mentioned the purpose of the visit, they smiled and welcomed Chu Xunyu and the other five. You know, there were too few merchants coming this winter, and there were not many opportunities to make money.

Chu Xunyu and the others picked two adjacent houses and told Lao Wang that he had not rested all the way and was very tired and he had to sleep for a while, and no one was allowed to disturb him. Lao Wang laughed and said it was right, so he knocked him away. After Lao Wang left, the five people pinched the invisibility trick without saying a word and flew straight to the chasm in the west.

It was dusk now, and every household was busy cooking, so there were almost no one else in the grave. Five people lowered their bodies and looked around, looking at the pile of rocks and spreading corpse gas. This should be a place to bury people. Observe the ground carefully and see that there was a piece of newly filled soil not far away. Mu Yuan was anxious and raised his hand to make the word "earth" and spread the soil from it. As a result, when the five people saw it, they were all shocked.

There were a few coffins in front of me, but they were obviously not newly dead. There were rotten internal organs and bones everywhere, and a deposited corpse gas penetrated into the nostrils. Logically, people who just died would not be like this, especially those who had just died for a few days should not rot.

"Are you mistaken?" Guan Yue Xiaosheng was stunned.

"Impossible." Chu Xunyu looked up, "There is only this place that is new, and there are no traces of other groundbreaking."

"What do you mean?" Mu Yuan pinched his nose and checked it for a moment, "It's obvious that it is the Fa-school martial arts. That person must be Junior Sister Shang Qian. Should we chase him or what should we do?"

"Don't be impatient, this is wrong." Chu Xunyu lowered his head and pondered for a while, "The situation is very strange, but logically speaking, Junior Sister Shang Qian should not be in danger yet. She just didn't know where to escape. Moreover, these corpses are also very strange. We are blindly chasing them. Here is so big, where to find them? So we still put our patience and wait for two days to see if Junior Sister Shang Qian will come back or if there is any new news."

It makes sense for everyone to think about it. If you chase it so blindly, you don’t know where Shang Qian has gone, and something must have happened here. Otherwise, Shang Qian would not have done such a strange move. She would have stayed for a day or two to figure out the whole story, so that she would be able to prescribe the right medicine at that time.

The five people quietly returned to the farm inn of Lao Wang's family, rested in the room for a while, and discussed what to do next. Guan Yue Xiaosheng proposed a more realistic idea: "Everyone, is it possible that it has something to do with Lingzong? This is the territory of Lingzong, and it is under their mountain gate. Is it possible that Junior Sister Shang Qian was bewitched by them?"

"Although you said it is very practical, I don't think it's possible." Chu Xunyu shook his head, "Because Junior Sister Shang Qian has the sign of this Legalist. Although Lingzong is weird, it is not enough to provoke Legalists. Think about it, they are just low-key and obscure, and have never provoked trouble for them. So they may have something to do, but they will never harm Junior Sister Shang Qian."

"The most important thing now is those corpses." Mei Wanqi hit the nail on the head, "It is certain that Sister Shang Qian cannot kill mortals, and the way of death of those corpses is strange, there must be a mystery in it."

"Don't you think there is something missing in this village?" Wang Chen, who had been quiet, suddenly raised this question.

"What's missing?" Everyone was confused for a moment.

"No," Wangchen nodded with a serious expression. "We have been here for most of the day, and it's almost time tonight. What's the result? No animal except humans."

"Yes!" Everyone suddenly realized that there should be animals in farming places, especially in the countryside, there must be yellow cattle in farming, and vigilance must be domestic dogs, and crowing roosters will be catching mice and raising cats. There is no one of these essential animals in farming places, except for people, but also humans...
