I Pushed Through The Weird World

Chapter 40: Being tricked, patrolling at night, and the storm is coming

In late autumn and early winter, the sky was dark early.

At this time, the clouds were thick and the sky and the earth were so dark that it was difficult to see even one's fingers.

Boom!

Thunder and lightning.

The whistling wind whistled like a ghost howling.

Raindrops as big as beans fell down, forming a dense rain curtain.

The people in Yizhuang have already returned to their warm rooms.

In this weather, no outsiders will come.

They can have a good night's sleep.

It's raining.

Crunch!

There was a slight sound.

The door of Yizhuang's convergence room seemed not to be closed tightly, and was suddenly blown open by a small gap!

Inside the house, there is a deeper and deadly blackness than outside.

The wind seeped through the crack of the door and made a whining sound.

Inside the house, there seemed to be some noise in the darkness.

Click~

Click~

There was a rhythmic sound, getting closer and closer to the door.

However, there is obviously no one here.

This torrential rain fell all night.

The wind is howling outside.

Inside the house, I slept more comfortably under the quilt.

The next day, Gu Yan got up early and opened the door, and a cold wind took the opportunity to flow into the room.

"The temperature dropped quite a bit."

He quickly closed the door.

As a result, Yaya, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the cold wind and got up.

She rubbed her eyes: "Yeah~"

The voice was soft and muffled.

Gu Yan touched Yaya Mao's shrugged head: "Brother is going to the Yamen today. You can continue to sleep. I will come back after midnight to bring you breakfast."

Yaya nodded, and shrank back into the warm blanket.

Putting on his official uniform and carrying a sword, Gu Yan pushed open the courtyard door, glanced left and right, and then walked onto the muddy street.

"With the weather last night, there were actually people staring at my place. It seems that Zhang Song and the others are not ready to let me go."

Moreover, after seeing Chen Zhinian yesterday, Gu Yan always felt that something was wrong.

He stopped.

"By the way, if he really helped me withstand the pressure and negotiated with Zhang Song and the others, why are the people from the Julang Gang still staring at my yard?"

Gu Yan realized that he might have been tricked.

"It looks like something different is waiting for me today."

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he took another step.

At the county government office, as usual, many people had arrived early and gathered into more than a dozen small groups to discuss matters related to Sun Quan or grouping.

"You tell me, Lao Sun is also a veteran. How could he be so foolish as to go out to investigate because of the children's matter? This case is not normal no matter how you look at it."

"I heard that Capt. Zhang came to him alone to put pressure on him, eh."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, it will cause trouble if people hear about it."

"I heard that they will be regrouped today. I hope they won't be in one group. I've been working there recently. I'm such a grandson."

"Hey, that person is here."

When Gu Yan walked in, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

The four people from the original four groups walked over slowly: "Gu Yan, we will not be involved in the matter of that shop. Just give us our investment when the time comes."

After saying that, the four of them moved away from each other, for fear of getting involved with Gu Yan.

However, more than ten people who had previously defended Gu Yan took the initiative to wave to Gu Yan: "Brother Gu, come here."

Gu Yan walked over and said, "I would like to thank you all for speaking up for Gu."

"Hey, it's okay. I feel comfortable standing up. To be honest, it's frustrating to be a yamen servant. If I hadn't inherited my father's business and wanted to support the family, I wouldn't want to do it long ago."

The others also nodded, actually having similar thoughts.

It turns out that they were all fathers and government servants. Due to various reasons, they had to take over their posts when people disappeared.

Many government officials here come in like this.

It's just that these dozen of them, who have only been here for a short time and are all in their teens or early twenties, are easily brainwashed by Gu Yan's words.

"By the way, Brother Gu, I heard that today's group may target you, so be careful."

The yamen servant who was the first to stand up said in a low voice.

His name is A Bing, the fur on his mouth is still green, and he is only sixteen years old.

"It doesn't matter, brothers, I have received your thoughts, but you better not get too close to me now. I will treat the brothers to dinner in two days."

Gu Yan held his hand and stood aside alone.

Ah Bing and the others wanted to say something else, but the leader, Zhang Song, had already walked in.

The audience immediately lined up and stood up, highlighting the lonely Gu Yan.

Zhang Song swept his eyes and stayed on Gu Yan for a few seconds before speaking: "An unfortunate thing happened! The fourth group, Sun Quan, took sixteen brothers out of the city to investigate the case, and was attacked by wild animals, leaving his bones mutilated.

They will be buried together outside the city today.

Brothers, if you are interested, please go and give them away when the time comes.

In addition, we will appoint a new deputy chief and regroup."

Finally, Zhang Song left, and the government officials also left one by one in new groups.

Only in the first group, Ma Yuan found that everyone was gone, so he walked up to Gu Yan with a mournful face: "Master Gu, since there was a murder case in Beiding before, I ordered you to make an inspection on the night shift."

"Um?"

Gu Yan turned his head and wanted to ask him something.

As a result, Ma Yuan was so frightened that he backed away a few meters away: "Don't blame me, this is Zhang Captou's intention. If you don't listen, it will be even more troublesome."

Gu Yan's ruthless attack before left a deep shadow in his heart.

"I just want to ask you, where will Sun Quan and the others be buried?"

"The mass graves in the western suburbs are where those who died violently cannot enter their ancestral graves."

"Okay, don't be afraid, I don't eat people."

Showing an unpredictable smile to Ma Yuan, Gu Yan turned and left.

However, Ma Yuan was made suspicious by this smile all day long, and he simply asked for leave the next day.

At noon, outside the west gate.

The roads were covered with paper money, and people returned crying sadly.

Gu Yan was holding a basket and watching silently.

Those were the family members of four groups of seventeen people.

Seventeen families collapsed as they fell.

In this world, orphans and widowers are lucky to have clan support, but they are afraid of clan cannibalism.

After the crowd left, Gu Yan left the city and followed the paper money on the ground.

After walking ten miles, we came to a dead and silent graveyard.

Sun Quan's tombs are very large and conspicuous.

Their corpses were mixed together, so mutilated that it was difficult to distinguish them from each other, so they had to be buried together.

Gu Yan walked over, took out the wine glasses from the basket, and poured the drinks one by one.

"Brothers, have a good trip, and Brother Sun, the wine I owe you will be made up today."

After speaking, he grabbed the jug and drank it in one gulp.

Taking out a piece of paper money, he walked to the pit where the paper was burned: "I have already made an agreement with all the sisters-in-law in the shop, let them support each other and run together, and they will never die of hunger.

If I solve my own trouble, as long as I am still in Xiahe County, I will help take care of them so that they will not be bullied. "

Ignite and drop one by one.

Then Gu Yan turned and left.

I'm afraid it won't be easy to patrol tonight, and he needs to recharge his batteries.

In the pothole, burning paper money fluttered.

woo woo~

Huhu~

got windy.

The storm is coming.

Tonight is destined to be another cold and rainy night.

What updates do you want? I coded 10,000 words today, and I have three chapters saved, ahem.
