Immediately someone shouted: "Pu Si Shi, come and see, there is someone! It seems to be Di Si Shi..."
"Old Di?" Pu Junxiong was startled, and quickly came out of the room, rushed to the front of the crowd, and looked into the wind and snow.
After seeing it clearly, Pu Junxiong's face showed joy: "It's Lao Di, it's Lao Di!"
At this moment, people inside and outside the house swarmed up and ran to greet Di Chu and the others.
Di Chu walked a little unsteadily, but he still kept his sword close to his body. There was snow on his shoulders and on the top of his head, and his trembling lips turned purple, telling everyone that he had been frozen all the way back.
Di Chu was already in this state, and the few people following him were not much better. When someone saw his companions from the village running towards him, they couldn't hold on anymore and fell on the snow.
As soon as the person fell to the ground, everyone's running speed immediately accelerated, and then someone came over to help the person who fell.
Pu Junxiong only cared about Di Chu's situation. He ran straight to Di Chu's side, immediately reached out to support him, and said with concern: "Old Di, you are back! You've worried us to death...
.”
Di Chu was so cold that she didn't want to speak. She just gave Pu Junxiong a reassuring look and then entered the house with his help.
The warm atmosphere in the room made Di Chu instantly feel like he had returned to the earth. He held the hot water handed over by Pu Junxiong in both hands and sipped it bit by bit.
After a while, Hang Baiqiu came, followed by Chai Yan and Sun Xingba. They each held a lit brazier, one placed next to Di Chu and the other next to the others to provide for the people in the house.
People keep warm.
When I heard that Di Chu had returned with a few people, the house in front of the village was quickly surrounded, and there was endless discussion...
Everyone is wondering why only seven of them returned from a team of more than 20 people. Where did the rest go? Are they alive or dead?
For a time, there was a lot of noise inside and outside the house...
Hang Baiqiu in the room was also very concerned about this issue: "Shishi Di, why are you the only ones back? Where are the other villagers?"
The seven people who came back, excluding Di Chu, the other six were all from Wudesi, but not one of the hunters who were mixed in the team came back.
Pu Junxiong was also very curious: "Yes, Old Di, what happened? Why are there only a few of you left?"
After Di Chu took a big sip of hot water, he looked at the people watching him and said slowly: "The wind and snow were too heavy. On the way back, we...we got separated..."
Having said this, Di Chu glanced at the six people seemingly casually. The six people seemed to wake up and nodded one after another to prove that Di Chu's statement was correct.
"Ah?" Pu Junxiong looked confused and didn't understand why such a mistake happened.
"Separated?" Hang Baiqiu was very surprised and couldn't help turning his head to look at Chai Yan.
Chai Yan also felt that things were incredible. He was walking back normally, but how could he get separated inexplicably?
Even if they were really separated, those villagers were all experienced hunters, so they should have returned to the village earlier than Di Chu and the others!
Chai Yan thought to himself, something is wrong!
Di Chu said to Pu Junxiong: "Pu Secretary, Hang Secretary, I will tell you the specific process later. The most important thing is to arrange for them to have a good rest first!"
Pu Junxiong nodded in agreement and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements.
After a while, the people watching the fun outside the house dispersed. Except for Di Chu, who did not move, the other six people went to other places to rest.
Pu Junxiong, Hang Baiqiu, and Sun Xingba were the only four people left talking in the room.
Chai Yan was walking back with questions when Shangguan Peining suddenly said: "Chai Yan, let me tell you something I discovered..."
"What discovery?" Chai Yan asked in surprise.
Shangguan Peining said: "These seven people, as well as their weapons, are all smelling of fresh blood! Let me remind you, this smell is my favorite..."
"Your favorite..." Chai Yan was immediately shocked. Shangguan Peining's favorite smell of blood, isn't it the smell of human blood?
Chai Yan suddenly realized it and cried in his heart: "What do you mean, why didn't even a single villager come back? It turned out that Di Chu and his subordinates killed the people!"
Shangguan Peining said: "I feel the same way!"
Chai Yan immediately frowned, thinking about what happened in their team that actually led to a massacre!
After returning to his residence and waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, Hang Baiqiu came back from there.
As soon as Hang Baiqiu entered the room, Chai Yan asked aloud: "What did he say?"
Hang Baiqiu frowned and said in a deep voice: "He said that their team went a little deeper this time, but they had already started to return the day before it snowed. Later, the hunters said they knew a shortcut back to the village. I hope Di Chu
Di Chu did not agree to lead the team to take a shortcut back to the village with them, and there was a dispute between the two parties, so Di Chu and his six subordinates separated from the hunters..."
Chai Yan looked at Hang Baiqiu and asked seriously: "Do you believe what he said?"
Hang Baiqiu was startled, then shook his head and said, "I don't believe it! It doesn't make any sense... Think about it, you clearly saw it was snowing, why didn't you take a shortcut if there was a shortcut? The hunters in the village were very interested.
We are so familiar with the mountains, so it’s impossible for us to point you to the wrong path..."
Chai Yan nodded and waited for Hang Baiqiu to continue.
Hang Baiqiu added: "Also, except for Di Chu, there are a total of eight people from our Wude Division in Team A, but only six of them have returned now. Where have the other two gone? With Di Chu's temper, how can
Maybe he allows his subordinates to follow the villagers? No one has the courage! The strangest thing is, why haven’t those who took shortcuts come back yet?"
Chai Yan lowered his voice and said, "If I said that none of those people will come back, would you believe it?"
Hang Baiqiu suddenly looked surprised: "What do you mean...?"
That was the question, but in fact Hang Baiqiu already understood it in his heart.
Chai Yan glanced at the door and whispered again: "Although I don't know what happened, I am 99% sure that those who have not come back will never be able to come back!"
Hang Baiqiu frowned: "But...but why did he do this?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "I don't know! I can only ask him this question..."
Hang Baiqiu said immediately: "Then I will ask him now!"
After that, Hang Baiqiu was about to go out.
Chai Yan quickly grabbed Hang Baiqiu's wrist, shook his head and said, "No need to go!"
Seeing Hang Baiqiu's confused eyes, Chai Yan said: "There are too many flaws in his words. Paper cannot contain the fire. The truth will come out sooner or later!"
