Chapter 22: Deserted Village


This sudden thunder frightened many people, and even the horses pulling the cart couldn't help but neigh.The scene was a little chaotic for a while, but fortunately the coachman pulled in time to calm the horses.Wu Mohan looked left and right, looking away, he pointed to the distance, "There seems to be a village there?"

”Lian Yuchi followed and looked over, the sky was gloomy and it was almost night, and the light was not good.He could only vaguely see a village looming in the distance, which was a little unreal."

I'll take a few people over and see, and you wait here."

Wu Mohan said, and called a few internal martial artists to follow.Lian Yuchi gave Wu Mohan a money bag, "If you can, give them this money and let them vacate a few rooms." ”Wu Mohan nodded and led people away.Not long after, Wu Mohan came on horseback, and he was still more than ten meters away, only to see him nodding at Lian Yuchi.Lian Yuchi understood, and immediately reorganized the convoy and headed towards the village.As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he felt that something was wrong.The village was empty, full of yellow leaves, dilapidated and desolate.A coachman tied the reins to a stake at the edge of the village.But as soon as the horse turned its head, the stake broke.The stake had long since decayed, and the fractures were uneven, black and stinky."

Is this a deserted village?"

Lian Yuchi asked."

Well, it's a deserted village, yes, we checked it just now, and there is no one."

Wu Mohan nodded.He said again: "In this world, it is not strange that there is a deserted village, and there are not a large number of refugees from Xichuan in the Dragon Mall a few days ago?

I'm afraid that not only the Dragon Mall, but also other large and small cities in Nanling are afraid that there are many refugees.If you want to talk about deserted villages, I'm afraid there are more Xichuan now. ”He also heard about Xichuan, and natural disasters continued.First there was snow in June, followed by a thousand miles of red land without a harvest, and then a bowl of hail falling from the sky.Not to mention the destruction of many houses, many people died.Just hearing these news, Wu Mohan could imagine the tragic scene in Xichuan.These small villages are not like cities, but the slightest disaster can force the villagers to relocate.It could be a disease, or it could be a beast, let alone a natural disaster.Wu Mohan said again: "I have already observed the terrain here, the terrain is flat, so there is no need to worry about someone setting up an ambush here."

At night, I will arrange for those people to keep vigil in shifts, and if you are still not at ease, I will not sleep tonight. ”Bang!

Another thunderclap rang out in the sky.Lian Yuchi, who was still a little hesitant, could only nod in agreement."

Then it's hard for Master Wu.""

It doesn't matter."

Wu Mohan waved his hand, looking very atmospheric.In fact, he really wanted to say that if you had a holiday with the Burning Mountain Sect, there would be no fatalities at all.Although the nephew of the Dharma protector later planted the blame, saying that Lian Qiu and Lian Peng despised his woman.But this matter can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.Now that even Yuchi's business has been ruined, their anger can be regarded as over.He didn't understand why Lian Yuchi was so nervous and cautious.Originally, with his current martial arts achievements, he would not have done such a thing as a guard at all.However, a few years ago, Lian Yuchi had a financial support for him, otherwise he would not care about this matter at all.Soon, the convoy drove into the deserted village.Because of the problem with the stakes, a few coachmen searched around the village only to find two dead trees that were still sturdy, and tied their horses there.The servants also began to inspect the house, and found a few houses that could still be inhabited, and cleaned them for the night.Even Yuchi is arranging for people to pick up some dry firewood, it may rain in a while, and you must prepare enough firewood."

It's cold at night, light more fires to keep warm."

The servants took the order and departed.Lian Yuchi said: "I see that there is a well in the middle of the village, go and fetch some water to make a fire for cooking, make a few more buckets, and cook a pot of ginger soup to ward off the cold, so that everyone can drink some." ”"Yes."

A few servants walked towards the well with buckets of water, ready to fetch water to cook ginger soup.As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the village.A group of people sat around to eat, and a few warriors stood around.When some of the warriors finished eating, they came over to eat.Lian Peng saw that Lian Qiu still looked frightened, and he had an idea in his heart.He came to Wu Mohan, first saluted respectfully, and then began to tout, until a flower smiled on Wu Mohan's praised face, and he took the opportunity to let the other party show his hands.When several other warriors heard this, they also began to coax."

Yes!

Master Wu, just show your hands!

”"I heard that Master Wu also went to the Central Plains in his early years, and he also made a lot of fame in the Central Plains martial arts.""

Now in Dragon Mall, you are also a big man!""

It is said that the Burning Mountain Sect and other major sects have been wooed many times, but they have all been rejected by you!""

Several of us are also martial arts practitioners, although we are not as good as yours, but we also yearn for it!""

Yes, you can show your hands and let the big guy see it."

The atmosphere was heated up for a while, and everyone looked at him with an expectant gaze.Wu Mohan is not easy to refuse."

Good!

Then I'll show my hand casually and let the big guy have long eyes!

”It's a deserted village, and I can't find anything suitable to try my hand at.He looked left and right and found an abandoned millstone.I simply walked over and used my palm.I saw that his bear-sized palm was slightly red, and he drank it in his mouth and slapped it with one palm.With a bang, the grinding disc suddenly split apart, and some rubble flew out.Looking at the location just now, it is obviously a little blackened, which was burned by the high temperature, and there is still hot air on it.Obviously, this Wu Mohan has not only practiced palm skills, but also has supporting internal skills.Although it was not as exaggerated as Lian Ying to tear down the house in a few rounds, making it as exaggerated as a big explosion, it is indeed extraordinary for an ordinary person to practice to such a point.Immediately, the applause continued and the praise was repeated.Wu Mohan enjoyed the feeling of being touted by everyone.With him showing his hand first, the other warriors couldn't bear it, and showed their unique skills one after another, and the scene was lively for a while.When even Yuchi saw this scene, the last trace of gloom in his heart disappeared, and he took the woman beside him into the house to rest.Seeing that these martial artists were all equipped with unique skills, even Qiu felt a little more settled in his heart.Glancing at the black jade that Lian Peng had given him, he shook his head."

Maybe it's really me thinking too much."

In the end, everyone was tired of playing, and everyone went back to the house to rest.Except for Wu Mohan, who didn't sleep all night, the other fifteen martial artists were divided into two groups to keep vigil in shifts.In a mud house, the inside was brightly lit, and there were several candles, and there were many torches outside.At this time, it was the middle of the night, and the warriors had just taken shifts.A gust of wind howled and blew open the dilapidated wooden door of the earthen house.The wooden door shook and creaked.The wind outside was a bit strong, blowing out several torches.Lian Qiu was woken up by the sound of the wooden door shaking, rubbed his eyes and got out of bed to close the door, but suddenly a burst of urine attacked."

It's all my father's fault, he has to let me drink so much ginger soup at night."

He grumbled and looked outside.Because a few torches were extinguished just now, it was not very bright outside, and the wind did not stop, and the rest of the fire was also dangling.The dim light of the fire flickered and shone in the silence of the deserted village.The dead leaves all over the ground, as well as the mottled and cracked earthen walls, inexplicably make people's hearts a little hairy.
