The Road to Comprehension of Group Pets

By noon, they finally arrived three miles away from the small village the old city lord had mentioned.

They controlled the flying sword and stopped.

"Let's rest here for a while and then go in to find out more about the situation."

Kunzhong waved his hand, and the guards took out their things in an orderly manner and prepared to set up camp.

At night, a few firelights looked very dazzling in the night. Everyone gathered around them separately, and faint calls came from the forest from time to time.

"Crack - crackle -" The sound of the match being burned was very loud in the silent night.

Master Yuexuan was meditating on a stone with his eyes closed, Hua Mengyu was resting sideways on the tree trunk next to him, Dongfang Xiaozhu was with her, head to head, and Han Yu was sitting opposite.

Others were sitting around the fire meditating.

"Chirp~" came a small voice.

Suddenly Master Yuexuan opened his eyes and stood up, followed by Han Yu.

The sound of Han Yu getting up woke up the others. When he opened his eyes, he saw the two people getting up and immediately followed them, looking around him warily.

"What's wrong?" Han Yu asked calmly.

"Be careful, there is a problem." Young Master Yuexuan did not say the reason, but just shook his head and warned.

"Well, my name is... Zhu'er, Yu Meng!" Han Yu was about to wake them up, but turned around and saw that they were gone.

Master Yuexuan suddenly turned around, and the two people who were lying there disappeared.

"Cha——" Seeing this scene, everyone became vigilant and drew out their swords.

"Alert!" Everyone stood back to back, holding their swords in front of them and looking around cautiously.

Prevent monsters from appearing and attacking them.

"How could this happen?" Han Yu asked anxiously.

Seeing the disappearance of the two people, Han Yu's heart sank suddenly. What could silently take away two living people under their noses was terrifying.

"Be careful!" Suddenly Mr. Yuexuan shouted loudly, reaching out and grabbing Han Yu's shoulders.

Before Han Yu fainted, he only heard what Mr. Yuexuan said in his ears, and then he fell unconscious.

Hua Mengyu and Dongfang Xiaozhu were facing the passion of an old woman.

"Little baby, where are you from?" The old woman's words had a slight accent and her words were a little unclear, but she could still hear her clearly.

The two of them looked at each other, a little at a loss. They were resting under a big tree, but when they opened their eyes, they saw an old woman standing in front of them. They were startled and didn't even react.

After all, Dongfang Xiaozhu had been hanging around outside for a few years, so she reacted faster than Hua Mengyu.

She stretched out her hand to support Hua Mengyu and whispered to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, my sister and I went out to play with my elder brother and the others. We came to this place for some reason. May I ask my mother-in-law, where is this place?"

Hua Mengyu nodded quickly in agreement.

The old woman may have seen the two little girls alone, so she said kindly: "We are called Huaishu Village. You must be lost. Why not go to the old woman's place to have a rest. Your relatives will come to you then."

of."

After the old woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked forward, carrying a large basket filled with pigweed on her back, bending her body.

Seeing this, Hua Mengyu and Dongfang Xiaozhu quickly stepped forward to help the old woman carry her things.

"Mother-in-law, let's help you carry it." Hua Mengyu and Dongfang Xiaozhu each grabbed one side of the basket and easily lifted up a large basket of pigweed.

"Okay, okay, the old lady can't carry her back. Thank you very much, little baby." Seeing how active they were, the old lady smiled.

"By the way, mother-in-law, why are you carrying such a heavy thing alone? Where are your family members?" Hua Mengyu asked as she walked.

However, after hearing this, the old woman's expression became gloomy, with sadness on her face.

"No more, no more, I am the only old woman left at home." The old woman said sadly.

"I'm sorry, old lady." Hearing what the old lady said, Hua Mengyu suddenly felt uncomfortable and apologized quickly.

"It's okay, my old lady has long been used to it. Little doll, what are your names? You look so graceful. My family must love you very much. How can I trust you to come out?"

The old woman waved her hand as if it didn't matter, and then asked them their names.

"My name is Fang Xiaoxiao, and this is my sister. Her name is Yu Meng. We came here with my eldest brother and the others, but we don't know where they are. But my eldest brother is very powerful. He has many guards around him. He will definitely find us.

.”

Dongfang Xiaozhu pointed at Hua Mengyu and said, her face showing admiration and trust in her eldest brother. Moreover, her eldest brother was very powerful and led many people.

"Really? That's really awesome. The old lady's house is just ahead, so be careful where you step."

They walked and chatted, and soon came to the village. Looking towards the direction of the old woman, there was an old house there.

Dongfang Xiaozhu observed the surroundings while walking, but found that the village was surrounded by green radish trees, which were crawling all over the outsides of other houses.

Pothos looks like a tree from a distance, round and substantial, with long vines, heart-shaped leaves, strong stems and many roots. From a distance, the whole village is covered in green.

But pothos should not be exposed to the sun, but here it is directly exposed to the sun, and it is still alive and bright, which is really unusual.

Moreover, it was night when they rested, but it was daytime when they woke up, which was so unusual.

She turned to look at Hua Mengyu and found that she was also looking at her. She must have discovered this problem as well.

Hua Mengyu naturally saw this strange phenomenon. Although she had never seen it, it was recorded in books that although pothos is beautiful, it has the ability to attract evil. Such a large amount of planting is not conducive to the survival of living people at all.

Hua Mengyu looked suspiciously at the old woman walking in front, and quietly took out a small bronze mirror.

"Mother-in-law, I have a small mirror here for you." Hua Mengyu handed the small bronze mirror to the old woman, with a smile on her face but a little scared in her heart.

"Hey, this little mirror is really beautiful. My old man also bought it for me when he was here. Unfortunately, that one was broken. I didn't expect this mirror to be more beautiful."

The old lady got the mirror and kept praising it, holding it in her hand and loving it.

But no, what about the miasma-breaking mirror and the mysterious magic weapon?

The Miasma-Breaking Mirror is a mysterious magic weapon specially designed to break illusions. The higher the level, the faster it takes to break the illusion. Hua Mengyu quietly walked behind the old woman and looked at the face in the broken mirror.

Seeing that her appearance in the mirror had not changed, Hua Mengyu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her guess was wrong.

Hua Mengyu raised her eyebrows and gestured. Dongfang Xiaozhu also realized what she was suspecting. Seeing this result, Dongfang Xiaozhu also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this was not the only strange thing. When they walked through the village, they saw only old, weak, women and children, children and young people, but none of them were strong. Even those who worked in the fields were old people.

When they walked into the village, they discovered that the pothos had penetrated deep into the houses, and even the roads were covered with pothos.

Along the way, people in the village saw two strangers, Hua Mengyu and Dongfang Xiaozhu, each with a different look on their face.

Some are weird, some are sympathetic, and some are exciting.

What is this situation? It seems that the old city lord is right. This village is full of old, weak, women and children. When Hua Mengyu saw the people in the village, she also remembered what the old city lord said to them.

Several people walked through the village and headed towards the end of the village.

But these people's eyes followed them closely. Hua Mengyu secretly glanced back, only to find that those people's eyes had been staring at them.

Suddenly, I felt shaky in my heart, and I turned around in fear.

Finally, a few people came to the old woman's house. The house covers an area of ​​two miles. When they walked in, they saw that there were six or seven rooms. It was enough to know that the old woman's family must have been very wealthy in the past, and they had children in the family.

numerous.

But I don't know what happened, and the old woman was left alone guarding this empty house.

And looking along the way, only this house has less pothos. It is only on the roof, instead of crawling all over the house.

"Mother-in-law, where do you put this pigweed?" Dongfang Xiaozhu asked, holding the pigweed.

"Over there, I'll get some water." The old woman pointed to the small shed on the left, then walked into the house.

Seeing this, the two men carried the pigweed to the small shed next to them and put the pigweed on the ground. However, there were no pigs in the small shed, not even chickens.

The two of them glanced at each other in confusion, both with unanswered questions in their hearts.

"Come, drink some water." At this time, the old woman came out with a pot of water and two small bowls, greeting the two of them.

"Old lady, why didn't I see the poultry in your house?" Dongfang Xiaozhu picked up the small bowl and asked without drinking, just holding it in her hand.

"Hey, I don't have any chickens or pigs at home." Upon hearing such a question, the old woman sighed.

"How could this happen? Where have all these poultry gone?" Hua Mengyu asked hurriedly.

"Five years ago, the poultry in the village was suddenly stolen. They all disappeared in just a few days. We also tried to catch the thief, but they were nowhere to be found. We reported it to the authorities, but they still didn't come. In the end,

We found those dead chickens and pigs in the cave behind the village, all of which had been sucked dry of their blood."

The old woman recalled what happened and spoke slowly.

"Then, why don't the officials come? You can also go to the sect that cultivates immortality!" Hua Mengyu raised her voice after hearing this.

"What have we tried? Later, a Taoist priest came. He came to our village to perform rituals for a few days, and things calmed down. But I don't know when, people in the village slowly died mysteriously. Slowly

Yes, only us old bones are left, and you are the first people to enter our village in these years."

When the old woman talked about these things, her face was calm, as if she was talking about other people's things, but they still caught the pain flashing in her eyes.

After listening to the old woman's words, the two people's expressions darkened.

In just a few years, only a few people in their 70s and 80s are left in a village. How painful it is to watch your relatives walking ahead of you!

No wonder those old people looked at them so strangely.

At this time, Hua Mengyu remembered what the old city lord had said. Her daughter Xue Meizhen had sent him a letter, which meant that Xue Meizhen must have entered this village, but the old woman said that they were the first people to come in. What on earth is this?

What's going on?
