Zhou Dacheng hesitated for a moment, he still hoped that the concubine would leave here quickly, but the concubine had ordered them to obey the concubine's order when he was away.
Zhou Dacheng finally responded with clasped fists.
A group of people drove the horses under their crotches towards the entrance of the village. The closer they were to the village, the stronger the stench from the corpses, lingering around their noses, making people sick. Even if Baihui and the others hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they could Imagine that what they are about to face must be a human tragedy...
Everyone's expression is extremely dignified.
Nangong Yue and the others dismounted at the entrance of the village, leaving a guard to watch over the horse, while the others walked into the village.
Unknowingly, the sky became gloomy, with layers of dark clouds in the sky, like tens of thousands of black soldiers approaching the city, the air was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
living hell!
These four words appeared in everyone's mind, even though Nangong Yue had lived two lifetimes and experienced many storms, she still couldn't help but turn pale.
In this small village, corpses can be seen everywhere, lying in various corners, on stone paths, beside water tanks, behind doors, on the vegetable patch in the yard... Obviously, they had no prior knowledge of this massacre. And caught off guard.
The faces of these corpses are gray and decayed, exuding a dead air unique to the dead. The corpses have long since rotted and stinked, and white and fat maggots are crawling between the bloody wounds, and flies are flying everywhere, making a "buzzing buzzing" sound. hum" sound.
Lily held her breath, her expression was as stiff as if she was wearing a mask, and she felt like she was going to spit it out.
She is not afraid of heaven and earth, mice and dead people are nothing, but she hates those white and soft caterpillars and maggots... how can there be such disgusting bugs in this world!
Under the leadership of Nangong Yue, everyone looked around. Both Nangong Yue and Baihui put on deerskin gloves, squatting beside the corpse from time to time to check the wounds of the deceased...
The guards were shocked at first, but then showed reverence on their faces. The concubine is really not an ordinary woman!
Nangong Yue finished examining another female corpse. Thoughtful, she and Baihui whispered a few words, and then Baihui said to Zhou Dacheng and the others: "Did you find that this village is very rich..."
Zhou Dacheng and Mo Xiuyu were startled, and subconsciously looked around, as did the guards.
From their point of view, this small village is nothing more than ordinary, with tile-roofed houses and mud walls, thatched huts and vegetable fields, and occasional pig sheds and chicken coops. His dark skin and rough hands show that he earns his living by doing farm work.
But Lily thought of something, squinted slightly, and looked down at the female corpse.
Baihui continued: "Although people in this village wear commoner clothes, they are not patched at all. Every household raises chickens and ducks...and this woman," Baihui pointed to the neckline of the female corpse. The white that was exposed, "The middle coat she wears is a silk dress."
Zhou Dacheng frowned and understood. The location of this village is so remote that there are no other villages within a radius of ten miles. It is understandable that occasionally one or two families are rich, but it is unimaginable that the whole village is so rich.
How does this village get rich
Thinking of that piece of silver ore, the answer seems to be obvious.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps followed by an anxious shout: "...Master Zhou, my subordinates have found two children..."
Ren Zinan and the other three guards came towards this side at a half-run. One of them was holding a four or five-year-old girl in his arms, and the other was holding a seven or eight-year-old boy. The arms of the two children were hanging down feebly. Came lifeless.
"Alan, what's the matter?" Lily hurried forward, Ren Zinan was holding the skinny little girl upright in his arms, the girl's small face was buried in his shoulder, only half of her sallow cheek was visible.
Ren Zinan reported to Nangong Yue in an orderly manner: "Concubine Shizi, my subordinates found these two children in the cellar of the next room, probably the parents of the children hid them in the cellar before the bandits came. A water tank was used to block the cellar door, but then a cupboard fell down and just pressed the water tank, so the two children were trapped in it. There was no food in the cellar. The boy cut his wrist and fed his sister. My own blood, otherwise this little girl might not be able to survive today..." However, if this goes on, if they continue to die one day later, this boy may be the one who died due to excessive blood loss.
Following Ren Zinan's narration, Nangong Yue and the others all looked at the boy who was held in the arms of another guard, and saw a blue handkerchief wrapped around his left wrist indiscriminately, and the handkerchief had been wrapped The seepage of blood seemed shocking.
Nangong Yue randomly picked a room with an open door, and asked the guards to send the two children in and clear out the corpses temporarily. Mo Xiuyu and a few guards stood outside the room.
Ren Zinan and the two put the boy on the couch, while the little girl was placed on a square table. Baihui went to take care of the little girl, and Nangong Yue went to check on the boy.
The boy's eyes were tightly closed, there was no blood on his lips, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken. If his chest was not still rising and falling slightly, one would almost suspect that it was a lifeless corpse.
Nangong Yue checked the boy's pulse first, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The boy was fine, except that he was too hungry and had lost a lot of blood.
Baihui took a bottle of pills for nourishing blood and qi from the medicine box, gave Lily a pill for the boy to take, and fed the little girl herself, and gave both children some water.
At the same time, Nangong Yue untied the veil on the boy's left wrist. Under the veil, there were four or five bloody scars on the thin wrist. Nangong Yue even saw some small pieces of porcelain in it. Apparently the boy should have cut his own wrist with a piece of broken porcelain.
The wound was so deep, it can be seen that he struck ruthlessly.
This child is cruel to himself... However, if he hadn't been cruel enough, the two of them might not have survived together!
While thinking about it, Nangong Yue washed his wound with clear water from the water bag, then applied golden sore medicine, and then Lily bandaged the wound for him. Lily couldn't help sighing: "Concubine Shizi, I see that this child is really good. I am so ruthless, but also worried... The slave girl looks good, why not accept him as a disciple, what do you think?"
Baihui on the side heard this, and the corners of her eyes twitched. This Baihe was still a child, and she actually wanted to take her apprentice away. Don't misunderstand your son!
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, but felt that this was a good idea. Almost all the people in this village were brutally slaughtered. If the two children have relatives who are willing to adopt their brothers and sisters outside the village, they will naturally be sent to their relatives to reunite; but if there are no other relatives, then follow Baihe and Ren Zinan , at least you can live a stable life.
Lily had just finished bandaging the boy, when she suddenly caught sight of his fingers moving out of the corner of her eye, and hurriedly looked at his face.
I saw his originally closed eyelids move, and his eyelashes like cicada wings trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes. His eyes were a little confused, and then he was vigilant, but when he looked at Lily, As if he breathed a sigh of relief, he eagerly tried to get up, and said weakly: "Pomegranate... pomegranate!"
Lily helped him, made him sit up, and comforted him softly: "The little girl is fine. My sister is taking care of her..." As she spoke, she pointed to the little girl lying on the square table, Baihui I have already wiped off the dried blood on the little girl's cheeks and corners of her mouth with a handkerchief soaked in water. She seems to be asleep, but her brows are tightly furrowed, and her soft little mouth is tightly pressed together, as if she has fallen into a deep sleep. In a nightmare...
Seeing that the girl was fine, the boy heaved a sigh of relief, but his dark eyes became dark and hard, and a thick layer of haze appeared in his eyes, which quickly diffused, like the gloomy sky outside. generally.
Lily glanced at Nangong Yue quickly, and seeing her nod her head slightly, she turned her head and asked the boy, "What's your name? Can you tell me what happened here? Who made everyone in the village..."
