Thief and silly concubine

Chapter 164 Strange Village
Mo Jiuqing and his party kept on going, and finally arrived at Liujia Town at dawn.

Liujia Town is a big town, and generally speaking, there should be a lot of people, but now Zisang and his party are standing at the entrance of the town, and there is no one in sight, and the whole town seems to be shrouded in an ominous, gloomy atmosphere. Feel.

The stone stele with the words "Liujia Town" at the mouth of the town is even in the weeds and no one has cleared it.

Mo Jiuqing got off his horse and walked to the three stone tablets in Liujia Town. After picking up a stick and pushing the weeds away, he looked at the dark dots on the stone tablet, his eyes dimmed.

"Blood stains." Mian also followed Mo Jiuqing when he got off his horse, seeing the black stains on the stele and Mian said without hesitation.

Mo Jiuqing nodded, and said in a calm tone, "Have you ever been to this Liujia Town before?"

Mian nodded and said: "I came here once last year. This time is basically very lively. Many people get up early, and the people in Liujia Town are relatively hardworking. Every family is ready to go out to work very early in the morning. This kind of This is the first time I have seen it.”

After listening to Mian's words, Mo Jiuqing said thoughtfully: "Be careful when you go in later, it's a bit unusual here. Does this jurisdiction belong to which official governs?"

Mian thought for a while, and then said: "Wang Ming. But he belongs to Jun Ganxiao's faction. Now it is estimated that the new official has already received a dispatch order. I don't know who the subordinate is for the time being."

Hearing what Mian said, Mo Jiuqing didn't think too much about it. He led the horse and gave Qingjue a look, and then slowly walked into Liujia Town.

After entering, I realized that the inside is even more weird than the outside.

Not a single villager was seen, the street was empty and cold, and the cool wind blowing through the alleyway was actually bleak and cold.

All the shops on the street were closed, no matter which street Mo Jiuqing and his party went to, the scene was the same.

It's like a dead town.

"Separate and look around. If you don't see any living people, come back here and meet up." Mo Jiuqing looked at Mian and his party, and said in a deep voice.

Mian nodded, and the group chose a path to search around separately.

Mo Jiuqing walked slowly, and a bamboo basket rolled to his feet when the strong wind blew. Mo Jiuqing picked it up and saw that the bamboo basket was brand new, and the shoulder straps were still very new, with no signs of wear.

Generally new bamboo baskets are not thrown away, so why is such a bamboo basket thrown away on the street?

Originally, Mo Jiuqing was still looking at the bamboo basket, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure flash past upstairs upstairs to his left.

The speed of that figure was very fast, not at all like the speed of a normal person, and Mo Jiuqing almost didn't see it clearly.

Putting down the bamboo basket, Mo Jiuqing stepped on the booth next to him, jumped up, grabbed the railing on the second floor, and turned over to the second floor. The speed was also very fast, and the handsome turn had already landed safely.

And Mo Jiuqing didn't stop, quickly opened the window and jumped in, looking around, there was no one left.

I searched in the direction where the figure disappeared just now, but there was still no one there.

Mo Jiuqing was also a little curious. Where did the people of Liujia Town go? Even if something happened, there should always be a few talents in this town, but now there is no one, which is a bit strange. Makes sense.

Very weird.

It would be a bit unrealistic to massacre the entire town. Liujia Town is a big town with a population of tens of thousands. That's the smell of blood.

But now in Liujia Town, there is no smell of blood at all, and the houses are in good condition everywhere, without any signs of being destroyed by fighting.

Mo Jiuqing was very cautious, clenched his two knives tightly in his hands, and inspected the house with gentle steps. When he came inside, he found that it was an inn. From the decoration point of view, it looked like a brand new inn. The tables and chairs were all clean. is brand new.

Since he couldn't find the figure just now, Mo Jiuqing planned to open door by door to see that there must be one or two people in such a big inn.

When Mo Jiuqing looked around almost all the rooms on the second floor, he still didn't find anyone.And the figure that flashed away just now seemed to have never existed.

Walking to the last room at the end of the second floor, Mo Jiuqing stretched out his hand and quickly opened the door, turning sideways to look inside.

A cool breeze blew from the inside of the house to the door.

None of the windows in the houses she had looked at were open, except this last one.

Mo Jiuqing walked in, looked at the tidy bed and the tea set on one side of the table, touched the teacup with his hand, the water was still warm...

Walking to the window, Mo Jiuqing looked outside and found that there was a courtyard inside the inn, which he couldn't see even when he opened the windows in other rooms just now, but he could only see it in this room when he opened the windows.

There was a big yellow dog sleeping under the courtyard. Mo Jiuqing casually took the hook hanging from the bed net and threw it at the big yellow dog below. The iron hook fell to the ground with a crisp sound, right next to the big yellow dog's ear.

But the big yellow dog didn't even move its ears and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Mo Jiuqing couldn't help being a little surprised, and looked at the sleepy big yellow dog with half-raised eyebrows, planning to go down to see an old illness.

But at the same time when this thought arose, the two knives in Mo Jiuqing's hands changed directions without a trace, without turning around or moving, and still maintaining the posture just now, as if he hadn't found anything.

Mo Jiuqing continued to look at the courtyard.

At the very moment.Mo Jiuqing dodged sideways, and thrust a pair of knives upwards.

"Will!" The crisp sound of the collision of cold weapons suddenly resounded in the room.

The sneak attackers did not expect that Mo Jiuqing would be so agile that he could escape his sneak attack and resist his attack in an instant.

Mo Jiuqing himself was very strong, and he didn't suffer at all against such a man.

Taking advantage of the moment when the man was stunned, Mo Jiuqing raised his leg and kicked the man in the stomach.

The man does not seem to be a person with strong martial arts, he seems to only know some self-defense skills. If he is strong in martial arts, he can avoid Mo Jiuqing's kick.

The man took a few steps back, stared at Mo Jiuqing fiercely and said, "Who are you!? This town has become like this! What else do you want to do!"

As soon as Mo Jiuqing heard the man's words, he knew that the man was from this town, and he was afraid that something serious had happened in this town.

"I was passing by intending to come to Liujia Town for a rest, and I have no ill intentions towards Liujia Town." Mo Jiuqing looked at the man with indifferent eyes and said frankly.

The man took a deep look at Mo Jiuqing, saw that Mo Jiuqing's eyes were open and did not seem to be lying, so he said, "Hurry up, this town can't accommodate any outsider now, before it's dusk , if you want to survive, you should leave quickly."

When Mo Jiuqing heard the man's words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you are from this town, do you want to see this town continue like this? Don't you want to remedy it?"

When the man heard Mo Jiuqing's words, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "You don't have to talk to me, if you want to know what happened in this town, I can tell you, but if you know, you have no chance to leave."

Hearing what the man said really aroused Mo Jiuqing's interest. In her previous life, she knew that people in their line of work must not have too much curiosity, or they would die too quickly.

But now it is different. Anyway, this Liujia Town is still a town relatively close to the capital. If it is left alone, it will be too late to save it if there is a big crisis in the future.

"If I want to leave, no one can stop me. Tell me what happened in Liujia Town. Wasn't it fine a year ago?" Mo Jiuqing half-raised his eyebrows, always showing a few unruly looks Very convincing feeling.

The man took a deep look at Mo Jiuqing, and then said: "I hope you don't regret knowing these things."

"A month ago, a group of aliens came to Liujia Town. Originally, they all lived in Mayor Liu's house, but after a few days, the people in Mayor Liu's house disappeared during the day. Instead, everyone had to rest at night. At the beginning, everyone didn't pay attention to it, until Mayor Liu bit a commoner one day, and the commoner disappeared, and after two days, the commoner also began to appear at night. At this time, everyone Only then did I realize that it was not just the villager who was like this, but almost every household had this kind of situation one after another. At that time, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. Later, everyone made an appointment to find Mayor Liu, but no matter what No matter how much you knocked on the door, the door of Mayor Liu’s house didn’t open, and everyone broke down the door in a hurry to go in. After searching around, they couldn’t find Mayor Liu’s family, including the villagers who disappeared.” The man sighed deeply. Only then began to speak slowly.

"Later, everyone felt that the problem was a bit serious, so they sent a young man who was more flexible in the town to the capital to report the crime. Then everyone dared not go out at night, but the next day, the young man's body appeared at the entrance of the town." The man recalled those things, but he still couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Listening to the man's words, Mo Jiuqing saw that the man did not speak, and asked, "What happened later?"

The man still has lingering fears in his heart when he thinks of the night like purgatory that night.

"I don't know why, usually only the villagers wandering outside will be killed and then disappear, but after the young man died at the entrance of the village that day, it may be that we wanted to inform the people behind the controller, and at [-] o'clock in the evening, the villagers who disappeared They all appeared. They didn’t know where they came from, and no one dared to investigate. Then those villagers started smashing the doors of every villager’s house like crazy, and they all gathered to bite those who caught them. The villagers even ate the flesh and blood of innocent villagers." The man said, as if recalling the scene that day, his body couldn't help shivering.

"The horrific massacre and persecution continued until dawn. All the brutal villagers left before dawn and disappeared without a trace. After that, the villagers who survived the catastrophe didn't dare to stay here anymore, and most of them planned to flee for their lives. But at the beginning, after a few people came to the entrance of the village and were killed, the rest of the villagers did not dare to escape..."
