This Xiejiazhuang can be said to be the largest village Yang Ze has ever seen. Looking at the size of this village, it should be able to accommodate 2,000 people without any problem.
A muddy road extends out from the village gate, extending into the distance and connecting with the official road in the distance. On one side of the gate, there are large tracts of fertile fields connected together. Behind the villa, there is a big mountain, stretching to the left and right.
, I don’t know how long it is.
"I really didn't expect that there is such a village near the Xiqiu jungle. Anyway, I can't even remember where I ran to now. It's getting dark. Let's go to this village to see the situation first." Yang Zemai
He started walking towards the village.
As he walked and looked at the surrounding scene, Yang Ze discovered that it was still more than half an hour before the sun set. The outside of the village was already deserted, and only a few villagers were walking quickly into the villa.
.
In those fields, there is not a single villager left. Even the gate of the village now only has a road that can only allow one person to pass, and there are still a few strong villagers guarding it.
The passages are constantly searched for people coming and going.
"There seems to be something wrong with this village." Yang Ze thought to himself.
For the farmers at the bottom of this era, they need to work hard every day to ensure a certain income. If there is nothing special, they will stay in the fields during the whole day. If they are not in the fields during the day, then
It's very possible that something happened!
Although he thought that something might have happened, Yang Ze still did not stop and continued to walk forward. With his current strength, he was not afraid of anything that could threaten him in this small village.
to oneself.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, two strong young villagers stopped him. Another person behind him shouted to the back, and a middle-aged man ran out of the village.
Yang Ze watched the middle-aged man running out and found that the middle-aged man's speed was pretty good. Judging from his footsteps, he should be one of the better skilled villagers in Xiejiazhuang.
As soon as this person appeared, the young villagers guarding the village gate moved to both sides and shouted respectfully: "Hello, Fifth Uncle, Hello, Fifth Uncle."
"Little brother, who are you?" The villager known as Fifth Uncle looked at Yang Ze warily and did not let Yang Ze enter the village, but blocked him out of the village.
"My name is Yang Ze. I'm just someone who comes out to play. It's getting dark now. I think it's a bit dangerous in the wilderness outside. I want to stay here for a night." Yang Ze returned. He didn't think these villagers could
Knowing his true identity, he did not hide his name.
"Yang Ze? Judging from your situation, you are not an ordinary person." The fifth uncle looked at Yang Ze with suspicious eyes.
"Ordinary people? I am from Xiqiu City. I have only been out for a few months. A few days ago, I entered the jungle of Xiqiu with my entourage. I lost my way in it and was separated from my entourage. Therefore, I wanted to stay in Guizhuang for a night.
, I wanted to ask you about the way back." Yang Ze casually made up a reason.
"As expected, he is a playboy from Xiqiu City. He is also a playful person. Without his followers, he is nothing." Behind the fifth uncle, the tallest young man whispered with some dissatisfaction.
"Ah Jiang, don't be rude." Uncle Wu scolded him.
"It turns out that you are from the city. It's very easy to go back to Xiqiu City. You follow the dirt road outside our village and keep walking toward the southeast. After walking for 160 miles, you can see Xiqiu City." These five days.
The uncle showed Yang Ze a way out.
Yang Ze was shocked. He did not expect that Xiejiazhuang was actually quite far away from Xiqiu City. On the contrary, the distance from Xiqiu Jungle was not very far.
"Uncle, it's almost dark outside now. If a wild beast appears from somewhere at night, I won't be able to resist it. How about you let me go into the village and stay away for a night?" Yang Ze originally wanted to ask.
He could walk just a short distance away, but seeing the appearance of the people in Xiejiazhuang, he became a little curious and wanted to see what secrets there were in Xiejiazhuang.
"Our Xiejiazhuang is not accepting guests from outside these days, so you'd better invite them back." This man's name was Uncle Wu. As soon as he heard Yang Ze say this, his face immediately turned cold and he refused to let Yang Ze in.
"Then you see, am I qualified to come in like this?" As soon as Yang Ze finished speaking, all the Xiejiazhuang villagers at the entrance of the village, including this fifth uncle, all their eyes widened.
When they saw Yang Ze pat his palm lightly, the iron gate of their village opened automatically, and he walked in openly and openly.
"I didn't expect my little brother to be a good player, but I was blinded this time. Since you insist on coming in, I can't drive you out again. But I want to tell you first, if you die in our Xiejiazhuang, what will happen to you?"
You can blame us." After seeing Yang Ze's skills, this man gave up the idea of driving Yang Ze out.
"Hahaha, I'm not surprised. I don't know what to call this uncle?" Yang Ze asked.
"I am the vice-captain of our Xiejiazhuang Hunter Team. My name is Xie Xingnian. I am the fifth in my family, so people in Zhuangzi usually call me Uncle Wu." Xie Xingnian said as he led Yang Ze towards the Zhuangzi, and
At this time, others still stayed at the gate to guard.
"It turns out to be Uncle Xingnian. I wonder what Uncle Xingnian just told me. Is it still dangerous to live in Xiejiazhuang now?" Yang Ze just heard this and was a little confused.
"Well, since you are going to stay here tonight, let me talk to you carefully so that if this matter happens to you tonight, you still won't be able to figure it out." Xie Xingnian sighed.
tone, and started to tell Yang Ze.
It turns out that in this Xiejiazhuang, a strange thing has happened in the past half month, that is, every night, there will be a strange cry in the village.
Every time this cry appears, someone in Zhuangzi will disappear without leaving any traces of blood, as if they have disappeared out of thin air.
When this situation just happened, the whole village was already in a state of shock, and many people were shouting for a thorough investigation to find out what was going on.
But half a month has passed, and people still disappear every night. The village's hunter team and some of the more skilled villagers formed a temporary patrol team, but after patrolling for half a month at night, there was nothing.
I found that I could only watch each villager disappear.
This situation is getting stronger day by day, bringing panic to everyone in the village. It is still dark in the entire village, and everyone is huddled at home and dare not go out anymore.
"Well, if this continues, we can no longer stay in this place, but it is not easy to move to this place where we have lived for hundreds of years." Xie Xingnian's face was full of sorrow when he spoke.
Yang Ze frowned. This was the first time he had heard of such a strange thing. If it were placed in the previous life, it would definitely be some unflattering statement, but in this world, this is a world where martial arts flourish.
The warriors in this world were so powerful that it was unimaginable to fly into the sky and escape from the earth. So as soon as he heard about this, he thought that there might be some people who were doing something secretly.
"Didn't you invite some martial arts masters to take a look at this weird thing? With your own strength alone, you probably can't solve such a thing at all." Yang Ze asked.
"How is it possible? Although our Xiejia Village is not a big village, it has a population of nearly two thousand people. In addition to most of them staying in the village to farm, there are also a small number of people who we will find ways to send to some places to practice martial arts. But
In the past few days, enough people have come back, but no one has any solution.
Especially yesterday. Yesterday, a group of guests came. They all seemed to have great abilities. But last night, after the strange cry appeared, there was a cold wind blowing over. There was a guest with great abilities, and one of his hands was broken.
ah!"
Xie Xingnian spoke word by word, with an expression of panic on his face.
"Fortunately, you came today. If you had come to our Xiejia Village a few days later, we might have all moved away. This matter cannot be solved. We can't just watch the villagers disappear one by one!
It seems that you don’t know about this either. It’s precisely for this reason that I didn’t want you to enter our Xiejiazhuang just now. It’s really too dangerous.”
"Hahaha, listen to what you said, it must be very powerful to create this weird thing. What he can control is not only your Xiejiazhuang. If I don't come in, if I meet him outside, it will be very bad. It's better to
Come in and take a look.
Uncle Xingnian, you just saw it. I have some skills. I am very interested in this matter in Xiejiazhuang. Can you take me to see those people who encountered strange things last night? I want to understand the situation
." Yang Ze said curiously.
Xie Xingnian glanced at Yang Ze and originally wanted to reject Yang Ze, but when he thought of the scene where Yang Ze had just appeared, he thought briefly that there might not be many people in the entire Xie family village who are better than Yang Ze.
With the addition of Yang Ze, maybe we can really solve their troublesome problem, and then they won't have to move away from the place where they have lived for hundreds of years.
"Since little brother Yang wants to see it, I will take you to see it. However, among a group of guests, one of them has broken a hand. They may not be in a good mood. If they say something unpleasant, Xiao
Brother, please take good care of me." After all, others only got into trouble because of Xie Jia Zhuang, and Xie Xingnian was embarrassed to watch them quarreling.
"Oh? There are more than one group of guests coming?"
"Yes, there were two groups of guests here yesterday, and they both look very special." Xie Xingnian pointed to a large house in the center of Zhuangzi, where the guests who came yesterday lived.
