returned to the inn, and after waiting for more than half an hour, the people brought by Murong Xue and Bai Zijun came back one after another.

Han Xuening asked the two about what they had discovered, and both of them said that there was nothing abnormal, but they still vaguely felt that something was not quite right here.

Han Xuening directly told the two of them about the village in the southern suburbs, and both of them felt incredible after hearing it.

In a village where no one was around, an old man appeared at the end of the night, and the old man died in the middle of the night. Qiao Mai, who looked at the old man's corpse, and five or six of them were innocently gone.

Murong Xue said: "That village may be inhabited by people who don't want to be seen by outsiders, so for now, we have to find Qiao Mai and them first." ”

Bai Zijun also said: "Qiao Mai and the others should have been arrested, and they must be rescued as soon as possible, otherwise they will be in danger after a long time." ”

Han Xuening let some people stay in the inn, while she, Murong Xue, Bai Zijun, Xiao Dong, and three other guards went to investigate the situation.

When they came to the village, Murong Xue and Bai Zijun both felt that this village was very strange.

The village is overgrown with weeds, and many of the houses look like they have been uninhabited for a long time. Apparently this is a deserted village.

The group came to the house where the old man who had found the body lived, and when they opened the door, it was gloomy inside.

Several people walked inside together, and when they came to the inner room, Murong Xue probed carefully, and after checking it, said, "There is no one living in this room at all. ”

Bai Zijun asked, "Did Miss Xue Ning say that there is an old man living here in the village?" How can it be that no one has lived in it for a long time? ”

Murong Xue pointed to a few stools in the room and said, "Look, the stools are full of dust. There is also a thick layer of dust on the ground here, and if someone lives here for a long time, there is no dust here. ”

Han Xuening looked at them, and it was indeed so.

At the beginning, Han Xuening didn't pay so much attention to the rush to ask someone to carry the old man's body out, but now it seems that this old man is likely to have come here not long ago. Or they don't usually live in this house.

Right away, where did this old man come from?

Why did the old man appear when they came to the village?

Why was the old man inexplicably hanged on the beam of the house at night?

Many mysteries are unsolved.

Han Xuening said to everyone: "It seems that we have to look around the village." Someone must have premeditated the whole thing. ”

After everyone got out of the house, they started to look around.

Soon at the western junction of the village, some traces of weeds were found flattening, apparently someone had left from here.

So, everyone went west in the direction where the grass was flattened.

It is an overgrown path, surrounded by either wasteland or small woods, and it is very eerie and remote. Come to think of it, no one from the surrounding villages usually passes through here.

They had been walking for two or three miles, and then they realized that there was a valley ahead, and the road in the valley was winding between the two mountains.

"Let's go ahead and have a look!"

Han Xuening said to everyone, and then, the group walked into the valley.

After walking for more than ten minutes on the winding mountain road, they came out of this valley, and there was a small village outside the valley, which surprised everyone.

This small village is not large, with only a dozen bamboo houses in total.

Han Xuening looked at the ground, the grass was flattened, and the middle of the road was bare, obviously there were people living here. Moreover, there are more than one or two people here.

Murong Xue also discovered this, and she said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, there are people living here." ”

"You stay here and hide, I'll go to the village to investigate first."

Bai Zijun said to Han Xuening and them.

"Okay, Brother Zijun, be careful."

Everyone hid on the edge of the valley, and Bai Zijun quickly approached the village to inquire about the situation.

After ten minutes, Bai Zijun came back.

"Brother Zijun, how is it?"

"There are a few people locked up in two bamboo houses, maybe they are wheat, but there are a few young people guarding outside, and these young people seem to have not slept all night, and they are already asleep."

After listening to Bai Zijun's words, Han Xuening and the others knew that they had been arrested. That means that the old man who hanged himself and died was also a disguise, and he didn't know who they found there.

"Let's go over a few people, subdue those people first, and rescue the wheat before they talk." Han Xuening said.

Murong Xue nodded, "Okay, let's divide into two ways, one to subdue the few young people who were sleeping, and one to go into the house to save people." ”

After the discussion, everyone went their separate ways.

Soon, Han Xuening and the people along the way followed Bai Zijun to the side of the house where they were being held, there were two young men sleeping in the house, and three young men were lying asleep by the door.

It seemed that these people were sleeping soundly.

Han Xuening glanced at Xiao Dong and the others, and soon, everyone subdued the five young people one-on-one.

By the time the men reacted, the dagger was already on their necks.

The five men were quickly tied up and gagged again.

Murong Xue led the two people into the house and rescued Qiao Mai and the other five people who were tied up.

Han Xuening asked Qiao Mai: "Mai, didn't you ask you to look at that old man's corpse in the morning?" How did you get taken away by these people? ”

"A few of us looked at the old man's body at the entrance of the village, and then suddenly we smelled a terrible smell, and then we all fell into a coma and didn't know anything. When I woke up, I was already tied up in the house here. Wheat told what had happened.

"It turned out that I was caught in the incense!" Murong Xue finally understood why these people had disappeared.

"Did they say who they were?" Han Xuening asked again.

"We didn't see them talking, and when we woke up, there were a few young people sleeping in the doorway, and none else. No one was seen walking around the village. ”

Hearing Wheat say this, it seems that they have no idea who has kidnapped them. Now, only the five people tied up know what's going on?

Han Xuening walked up to a young man who was tied, removed the cloth stuffed in his mouth, and asked, "Who are you?" Why kidnap these girls? ”

The man didn't speak, his mouth kept 'whining' and shaking his head vigorously.

Xiao Dong was very angry, took out a dagger, and roared: "If you don't say it, if you don't say it, I'll kill you now!" ”

The man was still 'woo-woo' and didn't say a word at all.

"It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, okay, I'll bleed you now."

Xiao Dong took the dagger and approached the young man, who still kept shaking his head.

"Xiaodong, wait!"

Murong Xue stopped Xiao Dong, she stepped forward and broke the young man's mouth.

The scene he saw was shocking, the young man had no tongue in his mouth, and of course he couldn't speak.
