Chapter 315 Exploring Devil’s Valley, they are not dead!

So, half an hour later, when the government officials rushed to the camp where the people of Qingshui Village were stationed in tents, several carriages loaded with various grains, meat, and vegetables also left the city gate and headed towards Devil's Valley.

Niu Sangui was just an ordinary government servant. He was entrusted with an important task by Jia Tongjian for the first time. He immediately took several brothers and rushed to the Devil's Valley excitedly.

But on the way, these people began to be afraid again when they thought of the various terrifying legends about Devil's Valley.

As soon as they reached the intersection into the mountain, several people stopped and looked at each other.

"Brother Niu, since Master Tongpan has sent you to investigate, and we are just here with you, then we will wait for you at this intersection. You can go in and investigate by yourself and then come out!"

"Yeah, this road doesn't look easy. It's just a waste of time for us to go there with so many people. It would be faster for you to go alone. We will wait for you here. If you haven't come back after an hour, we will Let’s go back and get reinforcements to go in and rescue you.”

"Yes, yes! We have to leave someone to guard this intersection. We can't all go in. If we encounter any danger, someone has to go back and report!"

Several fellow government officials looked at each other and began to find reasons to stay at the intersection, hoping to let Niu Sangui in alone.

Anyway, Lord Tongpan asked Niu Sangui to go there by name. If he couldn't complete the task, it was Niu Sangui's fault. If he completed the task, it was Niu Sangui who got the reward. It had nothing to do with them accompanying him on the errands.

Niu Sangui didn't expect that these brothers, who usually had a good relationship with him, would be so unloyal at this time that they would let him go into danger alone.

He stared at them angrily:

"Brothers, you are not being kind! This time, Master Tongpan has remembered my name and thought of me when there is an errand. Then he will definitely think of me when there is an opportunity for promotion in the future. I am also thinking about our brothers. We usually get along well, and we have completed many tasks while taking care of each other, so I asked you to come together. If I am promoted in the future, I can also protect the brothers. But what you said today , but it’s so chilling. Isn’t it just to go into the valley and take a look at it from a distance? There is no danger, so you are thinking of abandoning me, my brother, right now?”

When the government officials heard this, they also had some sarcasm on their faces.

"Brother Niu, what are you talking about? What do you mean by abandoning you? Aren't we also thinking that it would be more appropriate for you to get the credit that is so easy to get by yourself? Since you want to say that, then we should accompany you again. I will go into the valley entrance with you, and we will wait for you at the valley entrance!"

Niu Sangui took a cold look at the people in front of him who were usually brothers but were now hypocritical and selfish, snorted, turned around and walked towards the mountain road.

The few people behind them also looked at each other and followed behind them. However, they were thinking that they would not enter the Devil's Valley later anyway, so they asked Niu Sangui to explore alone. He would die alone, so don't drag them on his back. .

A few people kept walking along the overgrown and bumpy mountain road. The further they walked, the more panicked they felt.

Are all those refugees infected with miasma and suffering from strange diseases?

Are those people already suffering from illness and going crazy and want to set fire to themselves?

Is there anyone who has not been burned to death by the fire? Will everyone in his group suddenly rush out and hug him and infect him with the strange disease?

What does the wildfire look like now? Will a sudden gust of wind blow over and burn a few people in his group to death in this mountain?

With full of uneasiness, the distance between the few government officials behind and Niu Sangui in front was getting farther and farther. They all hoped that Niu Sangui would take the lead, so that if something unexpected happened, they could turn around and run away.

Niu Sangui was actually very scared, but he had to bite the bullet and move forward.

Master Tongpan finally allowed himself to take the lead in doing the task. He must complete it well and gain favor in front of Master Tongpan. If there is a chance of promotion in the future, Master Tongpan will think of him.

He encouraged himself all the way and finally reached the entrance of Devil's Valley.

However, when he turned around a clump of weeds and bushes as tall as a man, a large number of tents suddenly appeared in front of him, stationed in an orderly manner in a mountain col not far from the entrance of Devil's Valley.

The tent was made of linoleum, some bamboo wood and rattan thatch. It was different from the military tents in the military camp, but it looked as strong and durable as the military tents.

And there are several tents that are larger than ordinary military tents, and they look very spacious and comfortable inside.

Outside the tent, there were children chasing and playing, laughing and crawling around in each tent.

On the flat ground outside, there was a woman cooking on an earthen stove built with stones and mud blocks.

There is a stream not far away, and there are several women washing clothes and...meat by the stream?

These refugees actually have meat to eat?

Niu Sangui was dumbfounded.

The peaceful and peaceful scene in front of us, except that the house is not a mud brick thatched house, but a tent, isn't this a rich and beautiful mountain village life?

This was different from the messy, gloomy and misty scene he imagined, even with corpses strewn all over the place!

These refugees, they didn’t die!

They didn't get sick!

They are actually still alive and well!

So, what's with the thick smoke in Devil's Valley? Could it be that those people are burning mountains to create wasteland?

"Hey, who are you and what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded from behind.

Niu Sangui turned around and saw a teenage girl with hair that was not as hairpin as a girl standing behind him, with sharp eyes.

Being stared at by that gaze, Niu Sangui couldn't help but flinch. Niu Sangui, who had always used his status as an official to show off his power, suddenly felt that he was inferior in front of this little girl.

He had seen this girl before. The last time he followed Master Tongpan out of the city gate to register the household registration information for these refugees, he saw with his own eyes that this girl talked in front of Master Tongpan and asked him to sign some kind of contract for them. This group of refugees was given a forest within a ten-mile radius for nothing.

Such a powerful girl made Niu Sangui inexplicably afraid of her.

"I was sent by Lord Tongpan. Your Lord wants to know why there is such heavy smoke in Devil's Valley. What are you doing?"

Thinking of his identity, Niu Sangui puffed out his chest and asked arrogantly.

The surrounding women and the old men in the tent heard the sound and gathered around.

The women who were cooking were afraid that Ran Yatou would be bullied, so they grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed over with a menacing look, which made Niu Sangui lose his momentum.

He turned his head and looked behind him. The government servants who had followed him stopped in the distance and pointed in this direction.

Niu Sangui just remembered that if these people had been infected with the miasma and got strange diseases, wouldn't he be in danger?

He wanted to retreat, but the women had already blocked his way back, and he was so anxious that he was sweating.
