After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 244

Everyone in the Gyeonggi Guards was stunned when they saw these mummy corpses. Since their boss had already spoken, and Cao Yan had persuaded them to be bullied again, the highest rank in the Gyeonggi Guards was a ginseng leader except for Chu Xinyuan, so he led them away immediately. go.

By Chu Xinyuan's side, there are only him and guard Yuexi Xingnan.

Xing Nan said: "Master, what shall we do next?"

Chu Xinyuan glanced at the mountains in the distance, then at the nearby village, and said, "Let's enter the village!"

Yue Xi touched his neck and said, "Master, how do we enter the village?"

Chu Xinyuan glanced at him: "Walk, don't you want to crawl?"

Yuexi: "..."

He felt even colder on his neck, those mummies frightened him to death.Now that they don't even know what kind of monster the murderer is, if they enter the village so rashly, what should they do if they really meet the murderer?
Your Highness is a body of gold, why do you work so hard?
Of course, the complaints in their hearts belonged to the complaints, and the two of them still followed Chu Xinyuan's pace closely, looking around vigilantly.

Chu Xinyuan said disgustedly: "You two don't look cross-eyed. You enter the village in a while, don't say what you do. The three of us are just merchants. We missed the place and stayed in the village for one night."

Yue Xi was surprised: "I, we want to spend the night here?"

Chu Xinyuan said: "Otherwise? Why don't you stay here and go back overnight?"

Xing Nandao: "The master thinks that the monster might come from the village?"

Chu Xinyuan kept on stepping, and said: "According to the information provided by the county government and Jing Zhaoyin, the section of the road you are watching is basically in this area. Xiaotun Village is only one mile away from here, but I have never heard of any incidents in the village. Such an incident. Don't you find it strange?"

Yue Xi said: "Could it be that rabbits don't eat the grass beside the nest?"

Xing Nan said: "Isn't this area around the nest in Xiaotun Village?"

Yue Xi was tongue-tied, yes, this is also the side of the nest.

While the three of them were talking, they had already arrived in the village. Although Chu Xinyuan was dressed in black, the material of the clothes was woven with brocade embroidery, which was very valuable.The clothes of Yuexi and Xingnan are inferior, but their gestures are restrained, and it is not difficult to pretend to be a wealthy businessman.

After the three of them entered the village, they asked the villagers for directions, and first went to the village head.

The village head's house was in the center of the village, and Chu Xinyuan and the others attracted the attention of many villagers. They watched from afar with curiosity and envy in their eyes.

The village is like a circle, with the village house as the center, and dozens of families are scattered around.Each household is neither far nor close.

The village chief was rubbing the hemp rope in the yard. When Chu Xinyuan and the others approached, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head and said, "Are you all okay?"

Yue Xi stepped forward and said, "We are passing merchants, and we want to stay in the village for one night! I wonder if the village chief can make it easier for us?"

The village head said enthusiastically: "It's inconvenient to rely on your parents at home and friends outside. Just don't dislike the shabby place in our village!"

Yue Xi smiled and said: "No, no, we are traveling, sometimes we miss the lodging, and it is common to sleep in the open air. It is good to have a place to cover yourself!" He said, stepped forward and handed over a piece of silver, saying: "Trouble the village chief to arrange it."

The village chief was also very happy to see that he was generous, and said: "Why don't the three of you stay here with me, and I'll ask my wife to kill a chicken and entertain you all! Rural rough food, please don't dislike it!"

"That's great, don't dislike it or dislike it."

The village head's house is made of wood and stone. Chu Xinyuan looked at it and said, "Just now, the houses in the village are pretty solid."

The village head squeezed the silver in his hand, smiled happily, and said, "Our Xiaotun village relies on mountains to eat mountains. Carrying rocks and logging on the mountains, a few strong laborers can build a house in a few days. It doesn't cost much, just a picture. solid!"

Chu Xinyuan said: "The village is very lively, there are fifty or sixty families, right?"

"No, no, not so many! There are only more than 20 households. Although our village relies on mountains to eat mountains, we all do hard work and can't make much money. There are no crops in the fields. If you are lucky, that's okay. , if you are unlucky, your wife and children can’t support you all year round. So many people move out to find work, but there are many empty houses left.”

"I think the environment in this village is not bad. Only people moved away, so they couldn't help them back?"

The village head opened the chatter box: "The people who can move out are all looking for a good living outside. Their lives are much more comfortable than those in the village. How can they move back?"

"Are those rooms empty?"

"Then it will be empty." The village head said with a smile: "There are also outsiders who borrowed the house, but they didn't stay for long, and they left in a few months."

Those who borrow will also give money, or buy an empty house.But none of their moves were as generous as those in front of them.

The piece of silver in my hand is heavy, no matter what, it must be worth ten taels.

Chu Xinyuan casually pointed to a place closer to the entrance of the village, and said, "It's inconvenient to bother the village chief. Is there any vacant house over there? If so, let's live there!"

The village chief looked over where he pointed, and said: "No more." He said with some regret: "There was originally one, but a new one moved in a year ago. There is one in another place!"

The village chief talked a lot. Of course, it was more because of the convenience of money. Under Chu Xinyuan's intentional rhetoric, he told all about the situation in the village. Of course, these are not secrets.

This Xiaotun village has land, but no food can be grown in the land, and the people in the village can only go to the mountains to collect mountain products for a living.However, most of the mountains are owned, and unowned mountains are very dangerous.

Although stones can be dug at will to build a house, and wood can also be used, but they cannot withstand felling.

After coming and going, the top of the mountain is almost bald, and there is no way to make a living. Most of the people who can't survive work outside, or simply move out.

In the past two years, because the village is on the outskirts of Beijing, some people who like quietness moved in, but they didn't live for long.

At present, there are three migrant households in the village, and one household has been here for half a year. They are a husband and wife, and they say they came here to escape famine.They go out to buy some rice, oil, grain and cloth every once in a while, neither relying on the land nor the mountains here.

But when the two couples went out to buy things, they died on the way back.The corpse was sucked into a mummy by something. When talking about this, the village chief still had lingering fear.

One family is an old couple with a big family, three sons, two daughters-in-law and one grandson.It's been a year since I moved here.

The old couple took their grandson at home, and their three sons and two daughters-in-law worked in the town, and they didn't come back once a month.

The other family is a bachelor who has been here for a year. He often goes hunting in the mountains, but he lives alone and does not know anyone in the village well.

Yue Xi was curious: "The couple died on the way back, aren't you afraid?"

　Thank you Qingge, for your reward! !
