Chapter 117 The Quiet Farm
Since they won't be able to find their way back for a while, and the gray-clothed army holds the life-and-death weapon of noble youths, then Tang En and the others will naturally be let go.
After passing the legionnaire's camp, the gray space team speeded up and headed towards Shahe Village. Not long after, they crossed the valley and saw the collapsed mine, and they couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.
At noon, the top of the hill.
Tang En looked far away from a high place, and finally saw a group of residential houses in the midst of the high mountains, and beside them was a small river.
"Boss, it should be here. Old Bill said that there is a dark yellow river beside the village. Because there is sand in it, it is named Shahe Village." David covered his eyes and pointed into the distance, "He My home is at the west end of the village, under the biggest old pagoda tree."
Tang En pressed the coins in his arms, nodded and said: "Well, let's go." Announcing the funeral will naturally not be pleasant, but the matter has come to an end, all Tang En and the others can do is to give more coins, hoping to settle down This is a mother and daughter.
But at this moment, Luke narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Hey, boss, something seems wrong..."
"Huh?" Tang En, who was walking down the mountain, turned his head in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"There seems to be no one in this village. It shouldn't be like this at this time." Luke's eyesight is superb, and he can see farther than ordinary people. At this time, he observed the clues of the mountain village in the distance.
"Hey, maybe it's lunch at home!" David said carelessly.
"Well, maybe that's the case..." Luke said with hesitation and an uncertain tone.
While they were talking, a few black spots suddenly flew out of the distant mountain village, straight into the sky.
"That is……"
"Vulture, it's a vulture!" Luke said first.
Tang En's face changed slightly, and his heart sank: "Quick, speed up!"
After speaking, he unfolded his figure and quickly ran down the hillside.
As David stepped forward, he touched his head and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Mi Xiu's expression on the side was also a bit ugly: "Idiot, think about what vultures like to eat... carrion!" Probably knowing that David didn't understand, Mi Xiu asked and answered by himself.
"Uh... no, no, no way!"
This kind of remote mountain village doesn't have much rice or noodles. How could the poor people leave their meat to rot and attract so many vultures at once... David knew something was wrong even if he had no brains.
The distance between the hill and the farm is still relatively far, but as Tang En and the others speed up. In less than two hours, the mountain village was far away.
The closer they got, the uglier everyone looked. There was still no trace of people in the front, and some of the surrounding windshield walls had also been knocked down a lot.
Suddenly, Tang En, who was running at the front, frowned and his nose twitched.
I. Fuck, Falk!
"Hey, this smell is..." A member of the gray space also noticed this, and his face changed rapidly, and he couldn't continue speaking.
The cold wind was still howling non-stop, but this time it brought not only the cold, but also a faint smell... After a while, Tang En and the others stopped outside Shahe Village.
The village was still silent, oh, dead silent. The ruined walls outside were covered with traces of fire, but it may have been a long time, so there was no black smoke coming out at this time. Arriving here, the rotten stench that makes people sick is getting stronger.
Phew... Tang En let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
After the words fell, he walked to the entrance of the village first. The gray space members followed silently.
There is a mill at the entrance of the village, but under such a wind, the windmill on it is still standing still... The reason is very simple, because there are a few gently swaying civilians hanging in the air on the wooden blades above.
Their clothes were torn, and their mouths and eyes were empty facing the sky, as if they were praying or crying... But the dozens of arrows passing through their chests had already deprived them of the right to speak.
Drink, Kaka... The members of the gray space looked at it with eyes that were about to split, and there was a muffled growl with unknown meaning in their mouths, and the clenched fists made the sound of bones rubbing against each other. They seemed to see these civilians being forcibly hung on the windmill, and then some beasts were stretching their bows and setting arrows more than ten feet away, teasing and laughing to see whose aim is better, and then let go of the arrows... The civilians shook their bodies Weeping, while the other side was laughing wildly... Across the mill, on the road behind, on the corner of the wall, on the fence...Sixties old man, middle-aged man, naked woman, immature child... Corpses kept the pain of life The expressions and actions are frozen there.
Fluttering, rustling... Following Tang En's silent intrusion, some vultures and scavengers who were feasting rushed away one after another.
Tang En paused and walked to the right without a sound. There is a vulture here who seems to be extremely hungry, and is still pecking at the corpse of the old man under him with its sharp beak.
After walking more than ten meters like a ghost, I leaned over, reached out, and clicked!
The vulture's thin neck was turned aside, and it was thrown away. Tang En looked at the old man's wound expressionlessly, then stretched out his hand to open his clothes... After a while, Tang En covered the old man's round eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
"Boss..." David came up, his eyes were red, and his face was full of grief and anger.
Tang En waved his hand: "Go to Old Bill's house first!"
The farm is not big, and after walking a few steps forward, Tang En and the others saw the thick old locust tree. Winter is coming, most of the branches and leaves above have fallen off, only some thick trunks, and people hanging on it... Tang looked up and saw a young man hanging on it, shook his head, pushed open the half-closed wooden door and entered Old Bill's.
The house was in a mess, and the cupboards were all pushed to the ground, as if they had been searched, but no bodies were found inside.
Passing through the big house, behind it is the backyard and the woodshed, and the fragments of the broken cylinder tiles collapsed on the side.
The door of the firewood house has been destroyed, only one side is still half in the air, creaking and shaking in the wind. Tang En walked up to take a look, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly.
On the pile of firewood on the left lay a young woman in common clothes, her originally pretty face was full of pain. Her red clothes were almost torn clean, her fair skin was covered with bruises from pinching and pinching, and her lower body was in a mess... The fatal wound was on the left side of her chest, where a rusty steel knife was inserted into the place where the breastfeeding source used to be. .
Bang, dusty!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
David punched the dirt wall with one fist, then crouched on the ground clutching his hair, panting like a wounded beast.
Needless to say, this handsome young woman who was brutally tortured to death was undoubtedly Old Bill's daughter-in-law.
Wow - Tang En took off his black shirt, unfolded it to cover the young woman, stepped back, and bowed deeply!
Suck... stand up and take a deep breath: "Mixiu!"
"Here!" Mixiu walked out and said in a deep voice, "Take a few people to find the bandits next to you! I don't care what method you use, after two hours, I want to know everything that happened here!"
"Yes!" Mi Xiu nodded, and quickly led several members out of the courtyard.
"David!"
"exist!"
"Take other people to search the farm, if there are no survivors, bury the corpses of the villagers collectively!"
"Okay!" David bowed his head sadly and led the rest of the people out.
"Old Bill, I'm sorry..." Tang En sighed faintly. According to the degree of decay of the corpses, these villagers were killed probably two days ago. If they set off immediately after returning to the Gray Army, they might catch up. But at that time, they were physically and mentally exhausted, and many of them were still injured... Shaking his head, Tang En stepped forward to pick up the delicate young woman's body. Suddenly, with a pause in his hand, Tang En fixedly looked into the opponent's eyes. The young woman had a pained look on her face, but there was a hint of relief in her eyes!
Following her gaze, Tang En looked to the right side of the firewood room, where there were a few wooden planks laid flat, which seemed to be used to prevent moisture when placing things.
Tang En stepped over, stretched out his foot and stomped, groaning...huh? Tang En raised his eyebrows, walked down, and stretched out his hand!
boom! The wooden planks were thrown aside, and there was a dark staircase below, bursts of damp and smelly air rushed up.
cellar? Tang En was stunned, and then walked on without hesitation.
Swish... Unexpectedly, just as he went down the stairs, an arc-shaped blade light swung over his head.
However, this attack was not fast, so naturally it couldn't hurt Tang En. He didn't move, and stretched out his fingers to pinch the blade light accurately.
The attack is a curved iron blade, uh, commonly known as a sickle. Although the cellar was dark, Tang En could barely see a short figure on the other end of the scythe.
The short figure snatched the sickle several times but failed, and screamed, showing white teeth, and bit it close.
Tsk... Tang En smacked his lips and grabbed her skirt.
"Old Bill..."
"Eh?" The struggling short figure suddenly stopped.
Huh... Tang En couldn't help grinning and heaved a sigh of relief: "You are the granddaughter of Old Bill."
"You... who are you?" The voice was childish and clear, and the eyes of the short figure fluttered in the darkness, "How do you know my grandfather's name?"
"Ha!" Tang En was ecstatic in his heart, "My name is Tang En, and I was entrusted by Old Bill to your mother...uh."
"Mother is dead..." The voice on the other side got a little lower, and then asked, "Why didn't my grandfather come?"
"...Let's talk about this after we go out." Tang En put down the other party, and then his nose couldn't help twitching. It was strange that the smell came from the cellar... Sweeping around, Tang En froze, lying at his feet A black figure with a steel knife in his hand, his body, head, neck... were full of long and messy scars. On his foot, there is an iron bite-shaped implement firmly stuck to it, um, it's a bear trap.
This... Tsk tsk, Tang En looked at the scythe in his hand, then looked down at the trap on the ground, and couldn't help but smack his lips.
Dengdengdeng... "Wow..."
Just as Tang En was looking around, the short figure had already run out of the cellar, and then there was a burst of heart-piercing crying
