Inside the door is not a courtyard, but directly into the room.It looks like a hall for entertaining guests, with teacups on the table.The teacup is made of white stone with some light blue hues, and the inside of the cup is dry, and there are still some tea stains left by the dried tea on the walls of the cup.It's like the host's house forgot to clean up after entertaining guests.But the floor and furniture of the room were very clean, and the teacups that had not had time to be cleaned up seemed a little abrupt."
Master, madam," Luo Sheng took people to the other rooms of the house again, and reported when he returned, "There are no living creatures in this house." ”His expression was already a little more solemn.The absence of any living creature means that not only is there no owner in this house who should live in it, but there are not even the insects that are common at this time of year.This is clearly not normal.Zong Xu and Wei Xi glanced at each other when they heard this."
Let's go to the other houses.""
Nope!""
Still nothing!"
Luo Sheng led a group of guards to several houses one after another, but they all did not find any traces of human existence.All the houses were clean, and some of the houses or bedrooms had the quilts turned over halfway, or they were eating, and their chopsticks were put aside, as if they had suddenly discovered something, and people put down what they were doing and ran out to see it, and never came back.But if no one lives in it, how can the house be kept so clean?
Where are the people here?
Or rather, where did all the living life here go, except for them, outsiders?
Luo Sheng couldn't figure it out even if he broke his head.At this point, Wei Xi already had a bad guess in his heart.People don't disappear for no reason, unless something happens here that the people living in the tribe don't even have time to prepare or pack up, so they are forced to leave.As for why this house is uninhabited, it can still be kept so clean without a trace of dust.When Wei Xi thought of this, he couldn't help but look around at the place she occupied.The point is to look at the ground beneath your feet.The soil in the river was a little different from what she had seen before.The loess of Dayong will form sand and dust when the weather is dry, and once the wind blows, the sand and dust will be carried up by the wind and penetrate everywhere.But now the soil under their feet is not yellow, but dark in color.She crouched down and touched it, probably near the river, the soil was moist and sticky.And the air here is still very humid, much wetter than on the other side of the river.If there is no dry season in the Tianhe River throughout the year, and the soil has always maintained this state, it is indeed not easy to form sand and dust.In addition, almost all the houses here are made of this kind of soil, and the mud is built with stones, so it is indeed not easy to fall into dust.In this way, the reason why the houses here have been uninhabited for a long time and are still clean and abnormal.But the most important thing is where all the people in this tribe have gone.The hand hanging down by his side was held, and Wei Xi looked at Zong Xu wiping the soil on her fingers, "Husband." ”"Huh?""
What do you think could have happened in this tribe?"
Zong Xu was silent for a few moments before replying, "I can't guess what happened in this tribe, but, Xixi," he paused in his voice, "The people in the tribe may not be there." ”Wei Xi's fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly.That's what she's guessing too.Before, they had just felt a little quiet in the tribe, but thinking that it was night after all, and everyone had already gone to bed, it was normal to be quiet.But the movement of them now entering several houses in a row is not small, and they are still holding torches, and there is still no movement in the rest of the houses, which proves that the rest of the houses should be empty anymore.The Tianhe Water Department is probably already an empty tribe.Looking at the situation inside the house, it doesn't look like a tribe has migrated to another place.When people are on the move, they will bring as much luggage as possible to protect themselves, and they will never leave empty-handed, so after ruling out all of the above, the last thing people want to accept is the answer.The Ministry of Water of the Tianhe River should not exist anymore."
Then we're now" "Xixi, although the Tianhe Water Department may not exist anymore, I still want to go to that water moon rooftop to have a look." ”Wei Xi looked at Shang Zongxu and nodded, "Then go and have a look." ”The group went straight to the rooftop of the water moon.It's just that compared to the expectation and curiosity of the tribe that just came in, everyone's mood is a little heavy now.Luo Sheng raised his vigilance even more, and led a group of guards to firmly protect Zong Xu and Wei Xi, as well as Xiao Qi holding Zong Chengyue, in the middle.The closer you get to the water moon rooftop, the more you can see how beautiful the construction process of this high platform is.Each lotus petal is exquisitely carved, and even the lines on it are carved very clearly.Layer upon layer, the high platform in the middle is the lotus canopy that grows out of the lotus flower.The stairs up to the high platform are cleverly hidden in lotus petals.Luo Sheng was still going to take two guards up first to see if there was any danger, but he went up on his front foot, and the two guards on his back foot followed, one of the guards was also standing on the stone steps, but the guard behind him had just stepped on the stone steps, and the lotus petals next to him suddenly shook, making him so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his feet.Luo Sheng, who had already walked up several stone steps, and the guard who went up first also felt a slight shaking, and hurriedly stopped and looked back.The guard who retracted his foot couldn't help but blush when everyone around him looked at him, and tried to put his foot on it again with some disbelief.Then the lotus petals flickered suddenly.Seeing this, another guard stepped forward, "I'll try." ”As he spoke, he stretched out his feet and stepped on the first stone step.Still shaking!
Wei Xi watched from the sidelines as he changed several times in a row, "Could it be that only two people can go up on this water moon rooftop at a time, or rather, these lotus petals can only carry the weight of two people at most?"
”Everyone couldn't help but nod.Luo Sheng didn't know whether to continue to climb up or come back, but when he heard this, he immediately spoke: "Old man, the subordinate will continue to go up." ”Zong Xu nodded, "Always be careful. ”Luo Sheng and a guard didn't know how many times they walked around this high platform, but they just looked at the lotus petals that became smaller and smaller the higher they went, and after passing through the last lotus petal, their eyes suddenly opened up.His eyes then fell on the platform in front of him.The guards behind him also walked up, followed and looked at the platform in front of him, and was suddenly startled, "My lord, this" Luo Sheng turned around and walked back, "Go down first!"
