The strangeness came, I was forced to become a martial arts master

Chapter 2 2. Chicken kills

The next day, Chu Nan was woken up, and there were dead people in the village.

The dead man's family was not far from Chu Nan's house. A young couple and a five or six-year-old boy died in their own house.

"Are you sure it was the chicken who killed it?" asked a pale, beardless middle-aged man next to the corpse.

"Yes! Village Chief, my family lives next door to the old third's house. When we heard the screams, my family and I ran out to look around. Just in time, we saw a big chicken galloping away from the old third's house!"

"Let's come and have a look, the old three are all dead!" A middle-aged aunt answered, gesticulating the size of the chicken with her hands while talking.

"The chicken is as tall as someone?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise.

"That's right! It's absolutely true! And it must be the chicken from the old third family, because there is a gap in the comb of that chicken, I remember it for sure!"

……

Chu Nan also saw the corpse in the crowd. The scars on the corpse were indeed like the work of a bird of prey.

Then she looked at the chicken coop at the door. The door of the chicken coop was wide open, and there were no chickens in it.

【search】

【Contaminated Chicken Coop (Purification)】

"There is indeed a problem."

Chu Nan used the system search on the chicken coop. The chicken coop was in a polluted state, so click to clean it.

【Chicken coop (purified)】

【Vigor: 1】

[Skill: Hatchet Three Styles (Beginner) +]

【Ancient Tendon Method (2/3)+】

Chu Nan first purified the chicken coop and got the vitality points. This is not a place to add points, and he will make plans when he gets home.

There will be some strange phenomena in the pollutants found so far.

First of all, the bed I sleep on, if it is polluted, it will make me sick, bedridden, and even have the effect of a ghost pressing the bed.

Now this polluted chicken coop is suspected to have a murderous chicken.

After careful observation, there was nothing wrong with my bed and the chicken coop on the surface. If I didn't have the system's search function, I wouldn't be able to find anything unusual.

Looking at the people in the village, it seems that everyone didn't find anything special about this chicken coop.

How did these items become contaminated?And what was it polluted by?
Chu Nan looked around at the villagers. Some of them looked scared, some looked sad, and some looked calm. It's a pity that she didn't study the psychology of expressions, so she couldn't see any clues from their faces.

"Everyone be quiet!" Zhao Si, the village head, shouted loudly, and when the villagers calmed down, they all looked at him, and then continued:
"The third branch of the old family has no other relatives, and the village will simply handle his family's funeral affairs."

"Because the third child was a member of the village patrol team, now that he is dead, the patrol team is short of personnel and must be filled."

"Which family is willing to send out one person to fill up the number of patrols?"

After the village chief finished speaking, the villagers whispered again, no one wanted to join the patrol team.

Chu Nan didn't know what the patrol team in the village did, but she didn't want to ask, because she was afraid of exposing herself. If people found out that she was not the "real Chu Nan", she might be burned alive as a monster.

But from the discussions among the villagers, she could probably hear what the patrols did.

The patrol team is responsible for the security of the village. They don't have to go to work during the day, they only patrol at night. Those who have a patrol team at home can also be exempted from some imperial taxes.

The annual court tax is quite heavy, but even with such generous conditions, people are still reluctant to go on patrol because the death rate of patrol teams is extremely high.

Last year, 5 patrols died, which is already a high death rate for such a small village.

What's even more strange is that almost all the people who died died of accidents, which is very strange.

Therefore, the members of the patrol team are either extremely poor families, or those whose families are too small and have no power in the village.

"Since everyone is unwilling to take the initiative to join the patrol team, let's use public recommendation." Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Si, the village chief, said. At the same time, he gave a strong man in the crowd a wink.

"I recommend Uncle Chugen to join the patrol team. He is a man with martial arts skills, so he is very suitable." The strong man said after receiving the village chief's signal.

Chu Gen is the name of Chu Nan's father.

"You Wang Laoliu who kills thousands of knives, have you forgotten who taught you your martial arts? Everyone in the village knows that your Uncle Gen was injured and his martial arts has been disabled. How can you speak like this!" Chu Ma said loudly. Damn that brawny man named Wang Laoliu.

"Oh, my martial arts was taught by Uncle Gen, but he also charged my tuition. In addition, even if Uncle Gen loses his martial arts, he is still better than other people in the village."

"You!" Chu Ma was so anxious that she almost couldn't stand still, and Chu Nan hurried forward to support her.

In fact, Chu Nan's family is not an aborigine in this village. Her father moved here from another place, so his family is in this village and has no relatives to help.

In the past, my father was still good at martial arts, and everyone in the village treated him respectfully, but now he is throwing stones at her family.

"Okay, I'll go." Father Chu nodded in agreement.

"Old man, how can your body withstand such a toss? You can't agree! Besides, if you go out to patrol at night, what will we do?" Mother Chu said, looking at the village chief Zhao Si.

"Sister-in-law of the Chu family is wrong. The patrol team is supposed to be responsible for the safety of everyone in the village, including yours of course."

"Similarly, your family is capable and should contribute to the village. If you just want to clear the door for yourself, such selfish people are not welcome in our village."

After the village head Zhao Si sneered, the villagers in the village began to join in.

"That's right, he's so good at martial arts, and he only thinks about his own affairs. Just drive this kind of person out of the village!"

"That's right, I'm afraid it's a foreign parasite, so I just want to take advantage of the village and don't work hard."

"Forget about driving them out of the village, we don't want people like this in our village!"

……

"Okay, did I say that I can't go? I have already agreed to come down just now. I will go to the patrol team."

Father Chu said, then stopped Mother Chu who was still about to talk, and whispered to her, "Do you know the consequences of leaving the village now?"

When Chu's mother heard this sentence, she seemed to have thought of something terrible, so she stopped talking.

Chu Nan held her hand and felt goose bumps on her mother's hand.

"Okay, Brother Chu is really straightforward, then I will register you in the register immediately!" The village head Zhao Si unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Looking at the village head's weird smile, Chu Nan always felt that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, I will go on patrol for my father."

Chu Nan opened the mouth and said, Zhao Sifu was planning to let Father Chu go on patrol, there must be some ulterior motives, they can't go according to his plan, they have to turn passive into active.

In addition, by joining the patrol team, she can justifiably search for the secrets of the village, and at the same time search for new foreign objects, gain vitality, and improve her own strength.

"Daughter, are you trying to piss me off?" Mother Chu burst into tears.

Chu Nan was slightly moved. Although she was not their real daughter, their love for her was not discounted.

When Chu's father was about to scold Chu Nan, Chu Nan squeezed his father's hand hard.

Father Chu's expression changed from anger to surprise, then to surprise, and finally returned to calm.

"Okay, Village Chief Zhao, let the little girl go on patrol for me."

After finishing speaking, Chu's father led Chu's mother and Chu Nan to turn around and leave. It is only natural for a woman to take the place of her father, and Zhao Si has no reason to refuse, so there is no need to talk to this person anymore.

Father Chu wants to go home quickly to find out when his daughter has practiced the ancient tendon method to the second level. You know, he has practiced hard for more than 30 years and got a special opportunity to practice to the second level at the age of 15. layer, and her daughter is only [-] years old this year!
