"I'm not, I'm a tourist from Suzhou. What's wrong? Did something happen here?"
Su Xiaolu explained the identity here. She judged from the young general's expression that something had happened in Xanthium Town. She had dealt with many such things along the way, so she asked casually.
Now that I have met him, I will definitely help him.
The young general sighed, and then he looked at Su Xiaolu, and he looked puzzled: "Young Master came in alone, didn't you encounter anything strange?"
Although Su Xiaolu's arrival did not bring good news, it was not bad news either.
Su Xiaolu thought about this journey, and then she said: "Does it count that there are many bugs?"
Along the way, no human beings could be seen, and there were more snakes and insects.
"Young Master, I don't know whether to call you lucky or unlucky. In the past two months, people have been missing frequently in this town, and nothing has been found. We can only ask for help from the outside world, but no one has left the town.
Come back, even if you send people out to look for it, you still can’t come back, alas..."
The young general looked melancholy, the town was deserted, and there were not many people left. In just two months, hundreds of people died. The scary thing is that no one outside the world knew about it.
The young general looked at Su Xiaolu: "Young Master is the first one to come in. Our town has a small population. There are only two people coming from outside throughout the year. One is Linxia and the other is Linqiu. Summer is coming soon. Some businessmen
They will collect wool from us and use it to make clothes, but now something has happened in the town and I don’t know what to do?”
"So that's it. It's okay. I have some skills and have solved a lot of those things along the way. I am willing to help Xanthium Town investigate the case."
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, "Looking at this situation, I can't get in or get out."
The young general looked at the sword Su Xiaolu was carrying on his back, and he asked respectfully: "May I ask what your name is for the young master? I am Wang Tian'an."
Wang Tianan did not look down upon Su Xiaolu. He felt that traveling around the world at Su Xiaolu's age was not as simple as it seemed.
What's more, everyone in the town is in danger now. Regardless of whether Su Xiaolu has real ability or not, they all need help from people with courage.
Su Xiaolu grinned: "My name is Sulu."
It was easy to understand Wang Tianan's thoughts. Su Xiaolu just wanted to help, so naturally he wouldn't care so much.
Wang Tianan made a gesture of invitation: "Master Su, please."
Shen Shi has passed, and usually no outsiders will come at this time. Wang Tianan directly closed the gate of the town and led Su Xiaolu into the town.
On the way, Wang Tianan told Su Xiaolu about the situation in the town.
In such a small town, there is no government office, only dozens of garrison generals to guard it.
Because the monster issue is not something they can solve, all they can do is to guard it and send people out to report the news, but the people sent out will never come back.
Some people in the town were panicking, and some of them took their families and left without heeding the advice. But no one knew whether they really left. It is assumed that none of the people they sent out would come back, and the outcome would be bad.
,
If you stay in the town, you will only have a chance to wait for death. If you leave the town, you may die directly.
But what can we do? As long as we live for one day, we can only wait.
Fortunately, the disappearances all happened at night.
The people were in fear for several days and became numb. As long as they lived for one day, they would do whatever they had to do.
At night, these garrison guards would be divided into four teams for patrolling and vigilance. Each team consisted of ten people. During the day, the four teams also alternated like this, but even so, people still disappeared every day.
After Su Xiaolu had a general understanding, Wang Tianan asked: "Master Su, I wonder if you would like to join our guard team?"
Su Xiaolu nodded: "Yes, but I have a question. Do those who are in danger never make a sound?"
So many people have disappeared, but the reason has never been found.
Wang Tianan nodded: "There was no sound at all, no cry for help, and not even the bones could be found."
Wang Tianan looked at Su Xiaolu and continued: "At the beginning, all our guards even gathered everyone in the town. As long as everyone was alive, they had to be present. We watched all night, no matter how we cheered up.
, everyone will fall asleep, and when they wake up again, there will be one less person, and it will be the same for many days, so the people are also numb, everyone goes home and lives their own lives, life and death depend on God."
Since nothing can be changed, then it depends on who will be unlucky and who will die.
"Then I will go on patrol with you tonight."
When Wang Tianan spoke, his tone was full of helplessness, which Su Xiaolu could completely understand. She offered to patrol the night tonight. Since things happened at night, it was natural that they could find out clearly at night.
Wang Tianan was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily: "Thank you, Mr. Su."
Mr. Su is so kind. It is a good thing to have more people to help.
The people were frightened, and so were their night guards.
Wang Tianan took Su Xiaolu to stay at the garrison.
Knowing that Su Xiaolu came from outside, everyone was surprised and asked Su Xiaolu many questions.
Wang Tianan answered for Su Xiaolu. After learning that the people who came in did not encounter anything strange, except that there were too many snakes and insects, people's excited mood also dropped.
At dinner time, Wang Tianan brought food to Su Xiaolu.
Finding something dark next to Su Xiaolu, Wang Tianan was surprised: "Mr. Su, what is this???"
Why haven't you seen it before?
Pipi Xiahao squatted next to Su Xiaolu and blinked innocently.
He could already go outside, but Su Xiaolu still rarely let him come out. This time he asked for it because he smelled the smell of the interface stone.
There are interface stones in this town. How can he really let Su Xiaolu keep looking for his own rations?
Su Xiaolu explained to Wang Tianan: "This is mine. I put it in the bag before but didn't pay attention."
The number of Pipi Shrimp was not big. Wang Tianan thought that he might have overlooked it, so he did not ask again. He said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't know about it before, so I didn't prepare food for it."
Su Xiaolu smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, he can just eat some with me. He is still young and can't eat much."
Wang Tianan felt relieved when Su Xiaolu said this.
After Wang Tianan left, Su Xiaolu gave a piece of lamb chop in the meal to Pipi Xihahao.
"Xiaolu, what you mean by him is different from what he means by him." Pipi Xiahao was a little emotional. He was not an animal as humans thought. He was not happy to be called him.
Su Xiaolu touched Pipi Xiahao's head and explained to him: "That's because you look like an animal. If you were humanoid like me, they wouldn't call you that, but you don't like humanoids."
, we humans have a saying that you can’t have your cake and eat it too, if you choose one, you have to give up the other.”
"There is another saying that those who don't know are not guilty." Su Xiaolu rubbed Pipi Xiahao's head and started eating. After only one bite, she exclaimed: "It's delicious."
