Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 441 Hanbao’s Home
Xiao Luoyi was speechless for a while: This place is so poor, why are you so vigilant?
What are you worried about people coming here to steal? Torn pants that leak out of your butt?

It was He Yongfa, the general judge sent by Xie Zhifu, who came forward to answer: "This is Xiushui Village, right? Are you the Li Zheng here?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the government-issued uniform on the officer, and his tone softened: "I am. You are..."

"He Yongfa, the general judge of Yongzhou Prefecture, these two are the sect leader and the supreme elder of Xuantianmen."

The old man glanced at the young and beautiful Xiao Luoyi and the white-bearded Taoist Hongyuan, and his eyes focused on Xiao Luoyi.

This little lady was born so young and beautiful that many young people behind her looked straight at her.

But after looking at it twice, the old man still looked at He Yongfa: "Why did He Tongpuan bring so many people here?"

He Yongfa explained what happened to Hanba, and then asked: "Isn't there anything unusual here recently?"

Xiao Luoyi noticed that when He Yongfa just told the story about Han Ba, the faces of many young men behind him changed.

Some were scared, some were panicked, and some couldn't help but look towards the mountains behind.

Li Zheng wanted to deny it at first: "No..."

But after seeing the many servants brought by He Yongfa, he shut up and changed his words: "There is indeed something wrong recently."

Li Zheng explained: Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire Xiushui Village has not seen a drop of rain.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the springs and wells that used to have gurgling water stopped flowing.

After sowing, the drought worsened: not only did the seedlings and seedlings dry up, but even the vegetation on the mountains began to wither and turn yellow...

But water still needs to be eaten, and villagers have to walk a long way just to get a sip of water, let alone plant crops.

In recent days, wild animals on the mountain have been running away and dying, and wild wolves and leopards often come down the mountain to look for food.

The extremely hungry villagers looked at these ferocious beasts and dared to take action.

Dozens of people surrounded one person, beat them to death, and shared the meat with each other...

As Li Zheng explained, he led the large group of people to his home.

Li Zheng's home also has three thatched houses. There was rustling noise from the thatched house at the end. Xiao Luoyi looked over there in surprise: "Is there anyone else at home?"

Li Zheng laughed dryly: "My wife and children at home."

Xiao Luoyi signaled Chen Huaijin to pick up the package in his hand: "I brought some snacks for the children. Can I ask them to come over?"

When Li Zheng heard that it was snacks, his eyes immediately lit up. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Then you wait."

He walked over there, and soon, a woman came out of the hut over there with bound hands and feet, holding one in her arms, holding another by the hand, and another following behind her, and came to Xiao Luoyi.

"I've met noble people."

The woman prepared to salute nondescriptly, and Xiao Luoyi waved his hand, feeling sad for a while.

The woman was wearing the same clothes that Zheng was wearing just now, but the three children were all naked and had nothing on.

In other words: the clothes Li Zheng was wearing just now were the only clothes in their family.

Chen Huaijin handed the snack in his hand to Xiao Luoyi.

Xiao Luoyi was just about to give the snack to the woman, but his hand suddenly stopped.

The woman raised her face because of her desire for food, and that look shocked Xiao Luoyi: "Have you ever eaten human flesh!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked! The woman took a step back in fright, with a look of panic on her face: "No, no, no! I didn't! No..."

Xiao Luoyi's eyes were deep, and he looked at Taoist Priest Hongyuan. After a moment of hesitation, he finally handed over the snack in his hand.

"I made a mistake just now. It turned out that what you were eating was leopard meat..."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. After taking the food, she didn't even have time to untie the hemp rope and directly tore open the wrapping paper.

Two pieces of snacks were dropped into the dust at their feet. The two older children rushed up to them at lightning speed, grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths.

With such a gobbling attitude, how could he care about whether there was dust on the snacks? !

The child in her arms was so anxious that she cried loudly: "Mom! I want..."

The woman took out a piece of the wrapping paper and put it into the hand of the child in her arms. She put her dirty fingers into her mouth and sucked the remaining snack residue cleanly.

"Mother-in-law, come here quickly!" A roar came from the hut, and it was a serious voice.

The woman trembled with fright, fear instantly appeared on her face, and she hurried back to the hut.

The children who were grabbing snacks on the ground also rushed towards the hut.

Not long after, Li Zheng came out wearing the same clothes as the woman just now, with some foam from the snack at the corner of his mouth.

Apparently, he had eaten some snacks just now.

"I made you laugh..." Satozheng coughed in embarrassment, "What do you want to do when you come here and talk about these drought demons and so on?"

Xiao Luoyi took the initiative to stand up: "The drought demon is born, and the red land is thousands of miles away. We need to find the drought demon and get rid of it, so that God can make it rain and the people can be saved."

As soon as he said this, surprise and hope flashed across Li Zheng's eyes: "Really? Can you catch that monster and kill it, so that God can make it rain?"

Obviously, Li Zheng also knew where Hanba was and what was going on.

Xiao Luoyi heard something interesting: "Where is that monster? Take us there."

Li Zheng took a step back, a look of fear flashed in his eyes: "I won't take you there..."

"That monster is easy to find. It's on the mountain at the west end of the village. There's only that family over there. Just go there and you'll see it."

"Everyone in that family is dead, and now there is only that one monster."

Xiao Luoyi nodded and led everyone there.

After leaving the village where thatched houses were gathered, Xiao Luoyi and everyone could feel the eyes in the gaps between the thatched houses.

Chen Huaijin felt even more: he had good hearing and could hear a sound as loud as the breathing of an animal when it sees its prey.

The children outside the thatched hut were all naked and were looking at the group of people with longing on their faces.

Chen Huaijin couldn't help but hold a dagger in his palm. He didn't slowly let go of the dagger until he passed through the village.

A group of people walked on the road, each of them looked solemn: Nothing else, the atmosphere in this village is too weird!

In the distance, I saw a thatched house.

Everyone immediately understood: Is that Hanba's house? !
The group of people stood ready and carefully went in to search around. They were surprised to find that Hanbao was not at home, but the thatched house was neatly tidied.

Two pieces of tattered but dirty clothes were hung neatly on the clothesline, looking like they were unoccupied.

He Yongfa sent someone to guard the road from the village to ensure that no one was eavesdropping nearby. Then he asked Xiao Luoyi with a serious face: "The princess just said that the lady there has eaten human flesh?!"
