This old woman really has a lot of eyes. Qu Yunhe shook his head: "The voice can't be transmitted, I promise you won't be able to call someone." ”

Hua Pozi's voice was poignant and loud, and it stands to reason that it can be heard at least one or two miles away in such a quiet snow village. But she shouted a few times, and there was no reaction to the silence around her.

It seemed that the other villagers would not come to save her, and Hua Pozi's tears overflowed: "I was wrong, don't kill me, give me a chance to change!"

The young wife stepped forward boldly and kicked her: "Why are you plotting against us!"

The flower woman didn't dare to speak.

Qu Yunhe didn't bother to say much, and really pulled off one of her arms. Hua Pozi screamed in pain and was drenched in cold sweat.

Yan Saburo's eyes moved slightly, and then he saw Qu Yunhe's means. After all, Hua Pozi is old, if the punishment is too harsh, she rolls her eyes and faints, and she has to teach the two of them trouble.

It is important to grasp the heat well.

"Next time, I'll cut off this arm and make braised vegetables. Qu Yunhe threatened again, and Hua Pozi immediately softened, and poured beans like a full move.

Originally, Qingyan Village was no different from other small villages, isolated from the world, and lived in poverty. The land here is barren, and the food grown here can only barely feed on the stomach, and the size of the village has never been able to expand.

Four years ago, a traveler went to the village to spend the night, slept for half a night, developed a high fever, and died after two days in a coma. When the villagers kindly buried him, they actually found a small gold leaf and a hundred taels of silver in this person's bag.

When a person dies, money becomes ownerless. Qingyan Village got a windfall, and hurriedly went to the market to exchange for grain, cattle and sheep, and the people of Bailai lived a winter without worrying about eating and drinking, and not worrying about cold and warmth.

It's such a comfortable day.

Since then, the minds of the people in the village have come alive. In the past, I worked hard and hard in exchange for not having enough to eat, and even the child died before I was a minor.

However, Qingyan Village is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are few outsiders. They can't wait for a few people all year round. Taking a step back, even if there are outsiders who come to the door, most of them are poor, and they can't scrape two copper plates up and down.

The year before last, there was a great drought, and the family of the stump brothers really had no food leftover, so they set their eyes on a foreigner who had just been killed.

The Hua Pozi couple who were good friends with them experienced a battle between heaven and man, and finally couldn't help it and stretched out their hands......

Since then, Qingyan Village has become a man-eating trap.

It is also their luck that since the year before last, the number of outsiders entering the village has suddenly increased significantly. Usually I can't wait for two or three a year, but since last year, at least seventy or eighty people have passed by Yinlong Lake to stay overnight, and some are still dragging their families.

Hearing this, Yan Saburo asked, "Why?"

"Escape the war. As soon as Hua Pozi finished speaking, her young husband said, "We escaped from Meicheng, and we wanted to go to the port to escape by boat, but when we walked to the lake, we realized that the port had already been washed away by the flood. We had to go north around the lake, and we ended up here. ”

Tsubazaburo and Chitose glanced at each other.

Spanning thousands of miles, the lake is long and narrow, hence its name, and the narrowest part of it can be crossed by boat, which is the first escape route that many refugees choose.

Hua Pozi whispered: "After the rainstorm last year, the port was broken, but there was a war everywhere, no one repaired it, and no one took the boat. ”

Therefore, people who want to escape from the lake can only follow the lake to the north, which is very likely to pass through Qingyan Village, which is located on the easternmost side of the lake.

Qu Yunhe said solemnly: "You have eaten seventy or eighty people?"

"No, not so much. Hua Pozi hurriedly waved her hand, using the intact one, "There are many people who come to the door together, and we won't do it." ”

Chitose snorted: "Cunning." ”

Faced with a large number of people, the people of Qingyan Village would rather not let go or kill, and never dare to leak the secret of eating people and goods.

The refugees who came here with all the hard work never dreamed that they could escape the military disaster, but they could not escape the human disaster, and finally lost their lives in this seemingly simple small village and sank into the white bones in the Hidden Dragon Lake.

The white cat suddenly slipped to the edge of a basket in the corner of the kitchen, stretched out its paws and flipped it, and meowed at Yan Saburo. Hanako threw the basket here, and she didn't necessarily pay attention to it, but Chitose made a discovery.

"Something?" Yan Saburo walked over and saw the white cat take out a swarthy ring from it.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the cat placed the ring in his palm.

Yan Saburo stroked the cat's head before slapping the thing twice.

Cast in iron, it weighs a little, and it looks like a thimble in your hand.

At this scene, Qu Yunhe's eyelids who were standing on the side kept jumping.

However, the person concerned was unconscious, Yan Saburo picked up the ring and looked at the light source carefully: "There are words on the body." ”

The style of the ring is simple, basically an iron ring, but there are small characters engraved on the surface, and there is a faint touch of vermilion.

The strokes are thinner than a strand of hair, and even Tsubazaburo's eyes can't see the handwriting clearly, and I don't know how Chitose found it.

Yan Saburo looked left and right, then pressed the ring into the ashes, and then took it to the ash wall and rolled it around.

The words on the shank were then printed on the wall:

Changlong Jingsheng.

These four characters also have borders, with patterns.

Qu Yunhe stood up suddenly, pointed to the ring and said, "Where did this come from?"

His face was solemn, and even the little couple standing on the side felt his solemnity, and Mrs. Hua was even more cautious: "Two years ago, two people came to my house for the night and stayed. ”

"Who, how old?"

"I don't know who they are. Hua Pozi smiled bitterly, "It's about the same age as you, and it's a man with a teenager, all of whom are covered in injuries." The man was very respectful to the young man, and let him eat first when he had water and food. But I asked, and no one followed them. ”

Qu Yunhe stared: "What to do with it?"

Hua Pozi also heard that something was wrong, but she had to point in the direction of Yinlong Lake: "It's down." ”

Pour it into the lake, and you won't be able to find it.

Qu Yunhe was about to open his voice, when there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, and then a man called: "Flower woman, flower woman!"

The flower woman was overjoyed and shouted: "Help, come in and save me!"

But the outsiders didn't hear it, and they still knocked on the door.

Hua Pozi immediately remembered what the two had said before, and others couldn't hear her shout, but she was not discouraged: "Let me go, and you can leave safely." ”

She said loudly, "If you step out of my house, you will be, you will be besieged." The knock on the door outside made her feel more confident the more she thought about it, and her voice became louder.

The young wife took a bite of her: "Heaven is clear, you must not die well!"
