Chapter 135 The Strange Cave (4)
"Why not?" Xiaoyong raised his eyebrows and stared at Xia Xue squintingly, "Many people who didn't get sick saw the prince and they couldn't cure the disease, and they didn't want to be infected with the plague and died in vain in the village; they tried to break through the checkpoint many times We went, but there were so many officers and soldiers, and they dispatched artillery to our village, they beat and killed us, and after many attempts to no avail, people gradually despaired.”

Commander Yan had a dark face, and asked with difficulty: "Could it be that the prince and the others have always thought of a way?"

"Hmph, rely on them?" Xiaoyong let out a cold snort from his nostrils with extreme contempt, and said coldly, "If they figured out a way, our village wouldn't be what it is today."

Uncle Tian lowered his eyelids, still unable to hide his sadness, and said slowly: "Later, more and more people were infected with the plague, and more and more people were waiting to die in pain; I don't know who said it first, I think it was the prince and the others. Bringing the plague into our village."

Dongfang Yu raised his eyebrows, and a feeling of fright suddenly flashed in his heart.

"The prince and the others conspired to kill us, and then escaped from the village; but one of the villagers found out about it. Afterwards, the villagers who were still alive, including those who were sick and those who were not, surrounded the house where the prince and the others lived. "

Dongfang Yu's mind suddenly came up with the traces of the various fights she had seen in the backyard of that house.

Xiaoyong continued: "At that time, we didn't really want to hurt both sides with the prince, but we just wanted to force him to go out and find a way. None of us wanted to be trapped here waiting to die, but the prince mistook us... Later, the villagers There was a conflict with the people he brought."

Closing his eyes, those bloodstains and all kinds of injuries left by the fighting suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Dongfangyu couldn't help holding his breath, looked at the middle-aged man who was numb with grief, and asked slowly word by word: "Where did the prince and his party go after the conflict?"

Except for one of the imperial doctors and a few guards who died in the backyard of the house, they could not find any trace of the prince and others.

When the Oriental language was asked, Commander Yan's heart full of sadness and heavy feeling suddenly hung in the air, and he couldn't help pricking up his ears to listen to what Uncle Tian was about to say.

This answer is almost directly related to the life and death of him and many people. At this moment, Commander Yan was so nervous that cold sweat broke out from his palms, and his back felt cold and sticky.

Uncle Tian glanced at them slowly, and then slowly said: "Strictly speaking, I actually don't know where they went."

Commander Yan's tense nerves were almost broken by the "bang" of these words. He couldn't help jumping up immediately, and shouted: "What is this called? Didn't the prince and his party be trapped in the village by you, and they were gathered by you?" Besieged? What do you mean you don’t know where they went?”

Uncle Tian spread his hands, stared at Commander Yan, his eyes showed a faint chill, and said coldly: "Actually, when there was a conflict, they left a few people in front to delay the time, and the others were protecting the prince and wanted to get out of here." We ran away through the back door; later we noticed that something was wrong, and the villagers rushed up and chased them to the back door, fighting with them all the time, but... I believe you have seen the bloody footprints on the road."

Commander Yan held his breath, and said coldly: "We are not blind, of course we saw such obvious bloody footprints, and it is because of those footprints that we followed you here."

Uncle Tian saw that his expression was not hesitant, and his face was full of anger, so he also tensed up, and said coldly: "They and their party were blocked in the village by the villagers, and they couldn't escape the village, so they had to retreat to the river in the village."

"In this way, they fled in front, and the villagers chased after them. At that time, everyone only saw them thumping and jumping into the water one by one from a distance; There was no trace of them, either alive or dead."

Listening to the weird answer from Uncle Tian's mouth, this makes people feel up and down.

Dongfang Yu and Commander Yan were stunned for a while, but they didn't recover.

No wonder there was a water monster in the river, which ate all the prince and his party in one go?

Together with this absurd idea, Dongfangyu couldn't help laughing at himself, he must have watched too many science fiction movies before, a river with a depth of less than two meters, how can there be such a water monster that can swallow so many people in one go!
If there were any man-eating water monsters in that river, the people in this village would have been eaten up long ago, and there is no need to wait until the village is wiped out by the plague!
But where did the prince and his party go?

With so many pairs of eyes watching, even if they have the special skill of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, it is impossible for them not to leave a trace!

"Uncle Tian, ​​have you checked the places downstream? Are you sure the prince and the others haven't..."

Xiaoyong said angrily: "Hmph, the prince is the only hope for those who are still alive in our village. Do you think we really want to die here? Not to mention the downstream, even the upstream. We also searched for more than two miles along the way. I have been looking for the waterfall under the cliff, but I still haven’t found any trace of them, it’s as if they disappeared out of thin air.”

What kind of situation is this?really gone?Disappeared in front of the villagers?
Dongfang Yu was astonished, frowning and thinking about this weird thing quickly.

"How many days ago was this?"

"It happened five days ago; after they couldn't find them, the villagers went home one after another. Maybe today, everyone fell ill and died. Even after that day, my mother and Xiaoyu also suddenly became ill and developed a high fever. There were red spots on the skin, and the whole body was in pain..."

"Xiaoyong, that's enough." Uncle Tian frowned, let out a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

Whether the prince is dead or alive, they have to find someone.

Commander Yan pinched the center of his brows, only to feel a severe headache on his forehead.

Since the prince disappeared in the river, the strangeness must be in the river. If you want to know the answer, you have to go into the water to find it.

Dongfangyu thought for a while, looked at Commander Yan, who had a look of confusion, restlessness, irritability, and pain flashing across his face, and said slowly: "Commander Yan, in my opinion, we should disperse up and down the river to look for them. There may be no clues to be found."

"Going into the water?" Commander Yan glanced at her, his eyes flashed with embarrassment and helplessness, "I also think that we should start looking for it from the river; but... I, I am afraid of water."

The girl was stunned for a while, then realized that seeing Commander Yan's embarrassing appearance, she really wanted to laugh out loud, but she glanced around from the corner of her eyes, it was really the wrong occasion, the wrong time, and even more wrong people, this laughter came On the lips, it turned into a bitter sigh.

"Commander Yan, I think it's better to do this. After we meet up with Shi Yuyi and the others, we will see if there are any other survivors in this village; then we will divide into two groups, and some will stay in this village to deal with the aftermath. In addition, select those who can swim, and follow the river to find traces of the prince and his party."
