The village was very strange. It was less than 100 meters away from the official road, but there was no one.
Not only is there no one, but the land around the village is full of hay, loess and no plants.
Chi Qingyu still remembers that people in the northwest like to plant drought tolerant plants because of lack of water. However, apart from some dry vegetation, there is only empty land left.
Chi Qingyu asked Xie Qiran, "do you think this village is...
she doesn't know how to describe it. Looking at the houses in the village, some of them are brand-new and not in decline, but Chi Qingyu felt that it was empty here.
Xie Qiran nodded and said, "it's OK. Let's go and have a look."
Said, went to the front, ready to be the leader.
Let cold nine behind, looking at the horses and Xiaojing, Xie Qiran and Chi Qingyu with two or three people, toward the village.
All the way to cunzikou, Chi Qingyu found that there was no one here.
Now it's time to eat, but there's no smell of food in this village.
"Is it possible that the people here have moved away? I don't look like I'm living. " Push open a door after hand, discover inside nobody, and the harm in the house gathered ash, late light feather thinks so to say.
Xie Qiran shook his head and said, "it's hard to say. Let's have a look."
After pushing a few rooms, no one was seen. They were almost sure that there was no one here.
There is only a thin layer of dust on the table top in the room, which indicates that these people are not long away.
"It's close to the city, so you should be running fast." Chi Qingyu said.
Xie Qiran nodded. He thought what Chi Qingyu said might be reasonable.
There were no people in the village, and their food was almost gone. They had to look for food in these empty houses. After all, I don't know if the road ahead and the villages I have to pass are the same as here.
Several people separate action, each looking for their own, Chi Qingyu behind Xie Qiran, hundred bored Nai's looking at the village.
The structure of the village is in the shape of a cross, with a disc in the middle, which is probably their usual place for entertainment and leisure.
On the right side of the middle of the disc, there is a very big house, which should be the legendary village head?
Chi Qingyu was afraid to pat Xie Qiran on the back and said, "let's go to that room. It's so big that there should be a lot of things in it."
Xie Qiran nodded and followed Chi Qingyu to the room.
According to Chi Qingyu's experience living in the valley, she knows that people in these villages are used to digging a cellar in their own home to keep food.
In this era of no refrigerator, it is a good way.
They walked around the biggest room and finally found a stone slab in the yard behind the house.
"It should be down here." Chi Qingyu points to the stone road.
Xie Qiran looked at the stone slab and said, "get out of the way. I'll move it."
Chi Qingyu knows that he doesn't have the strength, so he doesn't stand in the way any more. He walks away and asks Xie Qiran to do it himself.
Xie Qiran used his sword handle to pry a gap between the stone slab and the ground. Then he used his wrist to force the stone slab away directly.
When the slate was made a crack, Chi Qingyu smelled the bad smell, but she thought it was her own illusion and didn't care. But now when the slate was opened, the smell came from the shop, and it was rotten.
Chi Qingyu covered his nose and mouth, stepped back and said, "Lord, step back."
Smell speech, Xie Qiran frowned back a few steps.
Chi Qingyu takes out a pill from his waist and throws it into his mouth. Then he quickly throws another pill to Xie Qiran. Xie Qiran took the pill and put it directly into his mouth.
After taking the pill, Chi Qingyu walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave.
This was supposed to be a cellar, so I made a staircase facing down. At the moment, Chi Qingyu is standing at the entrance of the staircase. The cellar is dark and invisible. The smell of carrion is coming out constantly.
Chi Qingyu took a step back and said, "bring the slate here. There's no need to go down."
Xie Qiran nodded and covered the cellar again.
The taste is not only recognized by Chi Qingyu, but also detected by Xie Qiran.
It's the smell of the dead, and there's more than one.
Make sure the slate is sealed again. Chi Qingyu and Xie Qiran turn and walk out.
As soon as they came out of the room, they heard the shouts of the guards in the distance.
Smell speech, Xie Qiran embraces Chi Qingyu, a few rise and fall, stand in front of the bodyguard.
"What's the matter?" Xie Qiran asked coldly.
The bodyguard seemed to be frightened. He pointed to the room on his right and said, "there are people in it."Xie Qiran let go of Chi Qingyu and went to the room.
He went to the door and saw the situation inside. He frowned and turned to stop Chi Qingyu.
Chi Qingyu looks at Xie Qiran in doubt and asks, "how?"
Xie Qiran shook his head and said, "the situation is not very good."
At the sight of Xie Qiran's expression, Chi Qingyu thinks of that time when he went to Zhang Xiaojia's house. When Xie Qiran stopped them, it was the same expression.
Chi Qingyu originally prepared to forward legs back, asked: "dead?"
Xie Qiran nodded, turned back and closed the door of the room.
Seeing this, Chi Qingyu can almost conclude that the people inside are ugly.
"How did you die?" Chi Qingyu asked.
Xie Qiran shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's rotten."
No wonder Chi Qingyu can still smell the smell of carrion. He thought he brought it from the cellar over there, but he didn't expect it from here.
This time in the village, no harvest anything, but the body, found a few.
Their bodies are all rotten, but no one has dealt with them.
In such a small village, if you look up but don't look down, there will be such a situation that no one will find you dead at home. The most likely is that all the people in this village have died.
When they opened the village, they thought of the cellar. Chi Qingyu frowned and said, "I think there's something wrong with the rotten smell. Let people burn the corpses."
"Burned?" Xie Qiran doubts a way: "why?"
"I don't know." Chi Qingyu looked back at the dead village and said, "it's just a feeling that if those bodies are not handled properly, something will happen."
Xie Qiran nodded and sent the two bodyguards behind him to deal with the matter. For this reason, Chi Qingyu specially gave them a pill, and repeatedly warned them not to touch the corpses with their hands.
They went back to the side of the carriage, and when they were penetrating, they found that there was black smoke on the other side of the village. They were very quick.
When the two bodyguards come back, Chi Qingyu asks them to change their clothes and burn them all. This time, they will start again.
Chi Qingyu returns his clothes, washes them and collects them quickly. He squats in the carriage with empty eyes and doesn't know what he is thinking.
When Xie Qiran entered the carriage, he saw Chi Qingyu like this.
"What do you think?" Xie Qiran asked.
Chi Qingyu looks back at Xie Qiran.
Her eyes were blurred, and there was a pity of elk.
Xie Qiran sat down in front of her, took her hand, and said softly, "what's wrong?"
"I always feel very strange." Speaking of this, Chi Qingyu frowned and said, "there must be a lot of people dead in that cellar. Although we didn't confirm it, my intuition told me that it was absolutely no accident."
