Chapter 49: Trickster!
"Be quiet, now, immediately, immediately, all return to the village!"
"Don't make any noise, line up in a long line, pay attention to the number of people in the team, and if you find anything unusual, including but not limited to someone suddenly calling you back, or the people around you disappearing, just call me directly, and don't act on your own."
He simply said some taboos from the ghost movies he had seen in his previous life, and began to guide the team to evacuate.
Chen Nuo had no intention of going to see the other side of this world at this moment.
You're kidding!
The situation is so weird that Hu Ming has issued a warning, and you still want to go and see it. I'm afraid you want to die?
He is still young and can live forever. He doesn't want to die, not at all!
He still has a lot of time, so there is no need to rush to spy on the other side. Take your time, take your time...
The top priority now is to return to the village and get the tribesmen ready to evacuate. Who knows if this situation will spread and affect other people.
And, you have to report to the authorities!
No matter how hateful the government is, when something like this happens, the best way to deal with it is to drag the government in to share the pressure.
Along the way, Chen Nuo's brain was storming wildly, and he simply sorted out what to do next.
Soon.
They crossed Xiaochen Creek and headed towards Chenjiazhuang.
However.
Chen Nuo, who was cautious, did not know that in the destroyed Hujia Village.
Three men dressed in white, like mourning clothes, slowly appeared.
These men have two things in common, white clothes on their bodies, white silk hanging around their necks.
"Is this blood enough this time?"
The voice was flat, with a sense of indifference to human life.
"It's enough. We've eaten so much after stepping into the realm of the ghosts. If it's not enough, we can only kill another village."
"Hehe, kill another one? The court of the Kingdom of Yue is not non-existent. According to the agreement with them, this time it was the people of the Hujia Village who invited us, so it's not a violation. But if we kill another one, that group of hawks and dogs will end up."
"So what? The court of the Kingdom of Yue is unstable. There are threats from the Xia Kingdom above and natural disasters below. That group of hawks and dogs can't protect themselves. How can they have much power to take care of us..."
"Stop arguing, collect blood essence, and go."
The third person interrupted.
It can be seen that the third person is the one in charge, and the two stopped talking.
Then, the three of them stretched out their hands together, and the blood-stained white silk disappeared from the necks of the people of the Hujia Village, and the white silk hanging on the necks of the three of them turned slightly red.
Then, the red color of the white silk faded, and a drop of sticky blood with a slight golden tint slowly floated in the air.
The emerald green jade box was put away.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
He touched the white silk on his neck, which seemed to be slightly tighter, and his eyes flashed gloomy.
If it weren't for the affairs of the church, who would be willing to waste so much strength? Now, the white silk is getting tighter...
"Let's go."
The three of them started to walk out of the village like ordinary people. They got on the carriage outside the village and disappeared into the wilderness.
They didn't seem to notice that Chen Nuo and others had been to the entrance of Hujia Village.
Or... they didn't have the ability?
...
County government.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Gather all!"
"..."
The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and all the people in yamen uniforms gathered together.
Originally, these old-timers would at least curse when they encountered such a thing, but at this moment, they dared not breathe.
The reason is simple.
In front of them.
A middle-aged scholar with a dignified face was looking around with an irritable face.
"County magistrate, all 25 yamen runners have been gathered."
Of course, there are more than just these few yamen runners, but everyone has to eat, empty salaries, etc., you know.
"Well, how is it going with County Lieutenant Zhang?"
"County Lieutenant, the county soldiers have assembled and can set off at any time."
"Okay, you, follow County Lieutenant Zhang now and go to Hujia Village. No one is allowed to enter or leave! Absolutely!"
"Yes!"
Watching the yamen runners rushing out, Li Hanhai drank a sip of tea and his mood eased a little.
"Damn it, how could such a thing happen during my tenure? People from the county, come quickly. We can't solve strange things!"
As a wealthy family in the county, his Li family also has some background, and naturally there will be some extraordinary knowledge.
For example... strange things!
According to the records in the clan books, there are two types of strange things.
One is man-made, that is, those who have strange powers.
There are no detailed records about these people in the tribe books. We only know that they are no longer human to some extent. They are extremely cold and cruel. They often hunt mortals to collect something in their blood. They have strange powers. Even the weakest ones can crush mortals, slaughter ordinary warriors, and even confront large armies head-on...
The book calls them: Weird Envoys!
If these Weird Envoys are rare and seem to be limited, I am afraid that the reproduction speed of mortals cannot withstand their hunting.
The other type is vague, just calling them a disaster, non-human, with certain rules of conduct, and you can just wait to die when you meet them.
"I hope it's the first one..."
"County Magistrate! County Magistrate! There is news in the county, the county..."
...
Soon.
The news of Hujia Village spread.
Everyone heard about it.
All the people in Hujia Village died overnight.
It was a punishment from heaven!
Especially after the county soldiers surrounded Hujia Village, this saying became even more rampant.
Now Hujia Village has become a famous place of bad luck!
No one knew that the county government welcomed two guests from the county city on the same day.
It was also after they came that the control of Hujia Village was gradually relaxed, and the county soldiers returned to the county government not long after.
The county also began to post notices to inform everyone that the people of Hujia Village were attacked by mountain bandits, which led to the death of the entire village, and called on everyone to pay attention to safety recently.
At the same time, the largest mountain bandit organization in An County, Yandangshan, also suddenly sent people out to shout, announcing that they were responsible for the incident and admitted that they did it.
For a time, the whole county was in an uproar.
It was also at this time.
The Chen clan slowly returned to Chenjiazhuang.
These days, because of Chen Nuo's death order, the clansmen left Chenjiazhuang and followed Chen Nuo to the ancestral tomb behind Chenjiazhuang.
There were many old houses left there because of ancestor worship and other reasons, and everyone barely spent these days there.
No one in the clan had any objection to Chen Nuo's decision, because the young men who came back with him also told about it.
Of course, because of Chen Nuo's advance reminder, everyone only said what they said when they reported to the police that someone had died in Hujia Village.
As for the white silk or not, sorry, I have never seen it.
So everyone was very happy.
Chen's courtyard.
Sister La and I helped my mother back home.
Chen Nuo sat under the eaves, thinking quietly.
