"Look how beautiful that rainbow is! The air after the rain has been purified so cleanly!"
Everyone started to rush on the road again. Everyone was in a much better mood while sitting on the horse. They had a better rest last night.
"We are passing through a village and then another place before we reach the place we want to go to, West Cape Liya. Everyone must be energetic."
"When encountering some things on the road, we must unite and help each other."
Hearing what Qin Yuan said, everyone nodded and remembered what Qin Yuan said. They rode horses to a nearby village.
This village gives people a strange feeling. There are very few people there as soon as you walk in, and you can't even see the shadow of a child on the road.
Song Zitao, who was next to Qin Yuan, walked to Qin Yuan's side and said to Qin Yuan.
"Instructor Qin, why do I feel it's a little strange here? I don't even see a single person?"
Hearing Song Zitao say this, Qin Yuan felt that the circle was a little strangely quiet. Although they were on their way, he still curiously dismounted and looked at the soldiers next to him.
"You guys wait for me a moment, I'll go to the front and take a look, and then we can continue on our way."
After Qin Yuan dismounted, he strode to the fork in the road ahead. At the fork in the road, he saw a very old man sitting on a chair and looking straight into the distance.
Not knowing what he was doing, Qin Yuan stepped forward to greet the old man.
"Hello, uncle, I would like to ask you if there is a canteen or any other place where you can buy some things?"
""How come I didn't see any small shops or other places selling things here?"
Instructor Qin also raised his head and glanced up. Qin Yuan did not say anything or answer him, and then looked into the distance again.
Qin Yuan was very curious and repeated the words he asked just now, and then instructor Qin turned around and said something to him.
"You are from out of town, right? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. You'd better leave here as soon as possible."
What Instructor Qin said made Qin Yuan even more curious, what is the situation in this village?
Why don't you let him stay here and let him leave quickly? Qin Yuan said to this instructor Qin.
"Instructor Qin, we have nothing to eat now. We need to buy some dry food here to take with us on the road. Now we don't know where to sell food. Isn't there a canteen here?"
Hearing Qin Yuan ask again that he needed to buy some food before leaving here, Instructor Qin frowned and pointed to a small thatched cottage in front of him.
"Go to the small thatched house in front and take a look to see if there is any dry food you want to buy."
"But I still hope you will leave here as soon as possible. This road is not safe."
Qin Yuan lowered his head and walked towards the small thatched cottage that instructor Qin was talking about, wanting to see what was going on?
Why did Instructor Qin always advise him to leave here? It was not safe here. He walked to the door of this thatched house in a few steps and gently knocked on the door a few times.
A trembling voice came from inside the house.
"come in!"
Qin Yuan slowly opened the door and walked in. He saw that she was an old lady. He walked up and said to her.
"Auntie, do you sell some dry food here? I want to buy some dry food to take with me when I'm on the road."
Instructor Qin's wife glanced at Qin Yuan, looked him over, and said to him, "Young man."
"You want to buy dry food to take with you on the road. I have some dry food here. Can you take a look and see if it's enough?"
Instructor Qin's wife took out four pieces of dry food. It looked like the dry food had been stored for a long time and was a little hard to the touch.
Qin Yuan felt a little strange, how could this dry food become so hard? Is it that few people from this canteen come here to deliver goods? Is it so difficult to buy something?
When Qin Yuan was thinking about this problem, suddenly someone in the room said something.
"You old woman, come in quickly, that dry food is not for sale!"
Who is this person? How could he suddenly say such words and ask this old woman to take away these dry foods and not sell them?
When Qin Yuan saw this strange scene, he didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't force someone to sell something they didn't want to sell.
Qin Yuan walked out of the hut. After walking out, he looked around and saw that there were really few people in this village.
The houses were all empty, where had all the people here gone? Qin Yuan was very curious, walked up to Instructor Qin, and asked him again.
"Instructor Qin, I am still very curious, where have all the people in your village gone?"
Instructor Qin glanced at Qin Yuan but did not respond. Qin Yuan asked Instructor Qin twice again before he whispered to him.
"Kid, please leave here quickly. It's not safe here. There will always be some bad guys coming here to arrest people. If you don't leave, you may be arrested by them."
When Instructor Qin said these words, Xiao Hui felt a little strange. Who was so bold and dared to go to this village to arrest people? What did they do to arrest these people?
Qin Yuan still wanted to ask what happened, but at this time, instructor Qin stood up from the stone slowly and left the place slowly on crutches without answering any of his questions.
Qin Yuan turned around and returned to his team at this time. At this time, Wang Ming walked up to Qin Yuan out of curiosity and said to Qin Yuan.
"Instructor Qin, you are here to inquire about the situation. Have you inquired about anything for so long?"
"This village is very quiet, with very few people. I wonder where all the people in this village have gone?"
Qin Yuan shook his head and said to the people next to him in confusion.
"I'm also curious about where the people in this village have gone? Why is there no one there?"
"I just saw an Instructor Qin and an Instructor Qin, but it was strange. They didn't answer no matter how I asked them. Even if they did answer, they looked absent-minded. They also told me to leave here quickly, saying that people would come here from time to time.
Arrest people here."
Hearing what Qin Yuan said, Song Zitao said to Qin Yuan angrily.
"Since Instructor Qin is like this, we should stay here for one night to see who is so bold?"
"You come here to arrest people, but you don't know what they did after they arrested them?"
"Yes, instructor Qin, what Song Zitao said makes sense. We can't just leave this village. We have to help these villagers."
All the soldiers agreed with Song Zitao's opinion, although they had to delay some time to practice at their West Point Liya location.
But this matter was also related to the safety of the people in the whole village, so he had to agree to the soldiers' request.
Qin Yuan nodded and said to them.
"Okay, then let's find a place to settle down first, and we'll investigate separately to see what's going on here? We must pay attention to safety!"
"I heard from Instructor Qin that there doesn't seem to be peace in this village."
"Yes! Instructor Qin."
All the teams came to an abandoned factory nearby. After everyone settled down, they lived together and had a small meeting.
The task assigned to them by Qin Yuan was that everyone should go to the village to inquire about the situation in the village. If they couldn't find out anything, they would just watch if there was anything strange nearby and report back to him.
"Yes! Instructor Qin."
"Okay, Instructor Qin, I'm going to go now. Xiao Wang'er, you and I can go together."
"Okay, let's leave now!"
As they spoke, they divided their forces to find out what was going on in the village.
At this moment, Qin Yuan received a mission from his superiors, saying that they must reach their destination, West Point Liya, within these three days. If they did not arrive, their mission would be considered a failure.
Receiving such a task caught Qin Yuan a little unprepared. It seemed that tonight they would have to rush all night to complete the task that he had not completed.
At this moment, Song Zitao and Xiao Liu came to a large road next to them. The road was very wide, but empty.
Song Zhitao and Xiao Liu said.
"Where are we going to ask things now?"
"Look at the lights in the houses around here, and no one lights them."
Xiao Liu asked very strangely.
"Song Zitao, is there no one in these houses? Have they all been taken away?"
Hearing Xiao Liu say these words, Song Zitao also felt a little creepy. What kind of village is this? Why is it so scary?
All the houses had their lights turned off, and none had lights on. Only one or two households had lights on. Song Zitao sighed and said to Xiao Liu.
"Don't worry, let's go and see if this house is brightly lit. There should be someone there."
"Okay, then let's act quickly!"
After saying that, they came to the door of the lighted house and knocked gently three times. There was movement inside the house, but no one let them in.
Xiao Liu saw Song Zitao knocking on the door, but no one answered. Xiao Liu took the initiative and knocked on the door three times again. At this moment, footsteps were heard in the room.
Can you open the door for them this time? The person who opened the door was an older lady. She really looked like what Qin Yuanshou said.
Why is this place full of old people and no young children? They didn't see any young people or children.
They visited several houses and inquired about several houses. They were all elderly ladies and old men, but there were no young children.
I asked several people but couldn't find anything. They refused to say anything and kept hesitating, as if they were covering up something real.
In this way, after they made some inquiries, they were about to go back and report the situation to Qin Yuan. At this time, Wang Ming also returned to their place of residence dejectedly.
After meeting each other, Song Zitao took the initiative to ask Wang Ming.
"What have you found out now?"
"No, I've made some inquiries here, but I haven't heard anything. They didn't want to say anything."
"They are all old people. There are no young people. No one in their thirties has been seen."
"You also discovered this situation. I also asked a few people and they were all old people, not young people or children."
"Okay, let's not waste time here. Let's go back quickly and report the situation to Instructor Qin."
"okay."
After saying that, they strode towards the place where they lived. When they walked in, they couldn't wait to speak out.
Qin Yuan said to several of them.
"How's your inquiring going?"
They all lowered their heads and said nothing. Qin Yuan also guessed that their inquiries had no results.
Qin Yuan said to them.
"Didn't you get any information? Didn't they tell the real situation?"
"Yes, instructor Qin, when we went to inquire about the situation, no one wanted to tell the truth about this matter. I wonder if they didn't know or deliberately concealed the truth of something?"
Song Zitao stood up and said to Qin Yuan.
"I found a problem, that is, the villagers we inquired about were all elderly people, and there were no young people or children."
"I wonder where the children and young people in this village have gone?"
"Oh, are all the villagers you are asking about elderly people?"
"Yes, they are all old people, either Mr. Qin or Ms. Qin. There are no middle-aged men or children."
"How strange!"
Qin Yuan took a breath and wondered what happened in this village. Just when they felt something was a little strange, they suddenly heard a horse braying outside the door.
Rumble!
"Instructor Qin, listen quickly, there is the sound of horses braying outside the door."
"Yeah, I heard it too. It seems like there's something going on around here. Let's get our rifles ready!"
"Everyone, remember, don't shoot randomly. Don't shoot until it's critical."
"Oh, yes! Instructor Qin."
As they said that, they put their rifles on their bodies to protect themselves from the outside. At this moment, a large group of people came outside the door, holding some torches and some people shouted loudly outside.
"People in the house get out of here quickly, and come out happily!"
Qin Yuan heard someone outside shouting for them to get out, so Qin Yuan said to them.
"You guys just wait for me in the house. I'll go out first to see what's going on."
Wang Ming stood up and wanted to accompany Qin Yuan out to see what was going on, but Qin Yuan stopped him and did not let him go.
Qin Yuan was afraid of danger, so he wanted to go out and take a look first. Qin Yuan opened the door and took two steps out.
He saw that there were many people in front of him, and they were all middle-aged men, holding torches in their hands and shouting angrily at him.
Qin Yuan said to them.
"Hello everyone, we are passing through here and want to stay here for a night! Sorry, we may have occupied your private house. Don't worry, we will stay for a night and leave tomorrow!"
Hearing what Qin Yuan said, the middle-aged man became even more angry. He took two steps forward and said to Qin Yuan.
"How many people are there in your house? Let him come out and follow me quickly. If he knows what's going on, he can follow us!"
