The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 225 How Did You Run?
A group of people entered Nanjia Village, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.

It was already miserable from a distance, but after entering, I realized that it was much worse inside than it looked from the outside!

In this poor and remote village, there are almost no rich people. Most of them are thatched cottages, and thatched cottages are the easiest to burn. At the end of March, not even a blade of grass grows.

Occasionally there is a mud-brick house, and a rough frame can still be left, but the inside is also burned unsightly.

As Xiao Yu walked deep, she looked left and right. After stepping on this piece of land, after a year, she seemed to still be able to smell the burning fire.

This cruel method reminded her of her previous life, where the people in their laboratory also died in the fire.

The feeling of the skin being burned is still clearly aching when I think about it now.

She took a deep breath, and Tsing Yi's voice suddenly came from her ear: "Master, that's where Zhao Lu summoned the villagers."

Xiao Yu turned her head and looked in the direction of his finger. There was a spacious open space in the middle of the village, which was covered with black ash. She walked over and took Xuan Yiwei's sword and pulled it. There is a bone that has not been cleaned up, a small piece, and I can't tell which part it is.

Seeing this, Lan Yi said to a guard in Xuan Yi: "I'll do a good search later to see if there are any bones left behind. Receive one and bury it in the cemetery."

"Yes."

The Xuanyi guards scattered to pick up the bones, Xiao Yu sighed and said: "More than 100 people were all buried in the sea of ​​fire. It's normal for the people who searched for the plane to collect the bones, but since we saw them, let them go to the ground." Be safe."

Lan Yi nodded: "Yes."

Tsing Yi looked around: "According to what Jiang said, the whole village came here at that time, and Nan Qingshan must be inside, so how did he escape? So many eyes watching, and Zhao Lu's target It's him, how can we let him go?"

"Good question, I can't figure it out either."

Xiao Yu looked at the surrounding environment: "At that time, if Zhao Lu's people guarded the outside of the village, and only Jiang Buyan brought a few yamen servants inside, Nan Qingshan might indeed run away. It’s impossible to just hold back and wait for death obediently.”

"Yes, the people who came to collect the bones said back that the bones were scattered everywhere. It should be that they fled in all directions and died in different places."

Tsing Yi frowned and pondered: "Jiang Buyan said that the villagers crowded together when they came. He asked Nan Qingshan several times, only to see him coming from behind. When the yamen servants took out the kerosene, I don't know who yelled. , something is wrong, tell everyone to run quickly, the villagers suddenly became chaotic, and Jiang Buyan didn't pay attention to where Nanqingshan ran in the midst of the chaos."

"If he did something bad, he was afraid after all. It's normal not to remember things."

Xiao Yu sneered, "Nan Qingshan is a native of Nanjia Village, he is familiar with the terrain, so he must run to the exit immediately..." She paused suddenly, "No, according to Nan Qingshan's intelligence, he may have already noticed The matter has something to do with him, and since this is the case, the exit may not be the way out, he should choose a more secretive direction."

She looked around for a week, and finally stopped between the two walls, and suddenly smiled: "You said that if the thatched cottage was on fire at one point, where would the smart people go when there was such a big fire?"

Tsing Yi and Lan Yi glanced at each other, instantly understood, and said in unison: "Between the earthen wall!"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Go, go and have a look."

She walked towards the two nearest earthen walls. If she tried to restore it, these should be two houses that were very close to each other, but there were not many houses that were burned.

"It's so narrow here, if you don't pay attention, you can get black and ash all over your body."

Xiao Yu took the lead and walked between the two walls, then turned his head and glanced at the two of them, "Well, Nan Qingshan's body shape should not be much different from yours, it's okay to have a man here."

Tsing Yi hugged her arms carefully, and the two broken walls and tiles fell over, and the rest of the place could almost blow off a layer of skin after panting.

Fortunately, it was only a few steps away, and Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes looking at the scene in front of him.

"Hey, is this the upper reaches of the river?"

"If Nan Qingshan was on fire at that time, he would have soaked in the water, right? Or he came here to avoid those people..."

Xiao Yu walked forward thoughtfully, observing the ground while walking.

Lan Yi shook his head: "Since Zhao Lu wants Nan Qingshan's life, he must have surrounded the whole village. Everyone is staring at the exit of the village. Although this side is hidden, it is not impossible to see it. Wouldn't it be more obvious in the dark if he had fire on him?"

"Hiss—that's right, it can't be that some of those people suddenly realized that they let Nanqingshan go?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had the intention. Xiao Yu, who was walking in front, paused, and suddenly turned to look at Tsing Yi, "Say it again."

Tsing Yi: "Ah? The subordinate said that someone with a conscience couldn't find out that Nan Qingshan was deliberately released, right?"

Xiao Yu's expression was slightly cold: "It's not necessarily a discovery of conscience, it may be—"

"On purpose."

Lan Yi took the second half of Xiao Yu's sentence, and Xiao Yu exchanged a glance with him: "Who said that what Zhao Lu brought must be his people? If outsiders got in and let Nan Qingshan go in the chaos, then this It all makes sense."

Tsing Yi pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "No, no, there are so many people, how can you guarantee that the outsider must be here to save Nan Qingshan? If someone else is squatting here, then Nan Qingshan will definitely die?"

"It doesn't have to be just one outsider." Lan Yi added: "It's unknown how many people may have gotten in, or Nan Qingshan was unlucky, and he was blocked when he ran out from here. He tried his best to escape. People came to chase, maybe outsiders volunteered, in the name of chasing and killing, but in fact they were going to save people."

Xiao Yu listened to their conversation silently, and strode to the river to take a look. After a year, things changed, and it was really difficult to restore the scene at that time.

She used her sword to pull the weeds by the river to see if there were any clues, but she found nothing after searching for a long time.

She was lost in thought as she watched the endlessly flowing river.

Her thin figure and slightly tired face were reflected on the water, suddenly a small fish swam over, Tsing Yi just called her: "Master—"

The fish was frightened and moved quickly, leaving shallow ripples on the water surface, which shattered Xiao Yu's shadow. Xiao Yu saw this scene, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

She crouched down so the weeds just covered her face.
