God catches no trace

Chapter 70 Miserable

Chapter 15: Miserable
"Let's go up and talk."

Seeing this scene, Shui Sheng suddenly became suspicious, flew up, jumped to the middle step, and touched the toes again, and reached the flat ground.

Looking around, there are still overgrown vegetation, and even around a row of houses, there is no trace of being cleaned up by anyone.

Everything in front of her eyes suddenly changed her complexion greatly, and she felt an ominous premonition in her heart, and a terrible thought came out straight out.

Could it be...

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Walk."

Shui Sheng didn't answer directly, left a word, and ran towards the row of houses.

Although Mu Rou was extremely puzzled, she had no choice but to follow closely.

straw hut.

The construction is extremely simple. The walls are made of a mixture of mud and wooden sticks, and the top is paved with thick straw.

From the perspective of the eyes, the rows of houses here are basically the same, there is no difference.

Shui Sheng walked to one of the gates and checked that it was not locked.

"Excuse me, is there anyone?"

No response.

In fact, I knew the result in my heart, so I asked, out of politeness.

Because the room is small, with the door open, standing outside, you can see the cobwebs in the corner at a glance.

As soon as she stepped in, she began to look around: the furnishings inside were very simple, except for the dusty tables, chairs, and some working farm tools in the corners (for example, sickles, hoes), and bows and arrows for hunting animals hung on the walls.Nothing else.

"It seems that no one has lived in the house for a long time."

"Yes, sister."

Mu Rou touched a small table by the wall to see the dust on her hands.

Shui Sheng ignored it, and pushed open the bedroom door connected to the main room. As soon as it was opened, a musty smell rushed to her nose.

Mu Rou slapped her face with her hand.

"What a bad smell."

Obviously, the bedroom windows were closed all year round, causing the air to be stagnant.

"Sister, let's go to another house to see if there is anyone."

"Why, leave without seeing through?"

"Forget it, there is only a bed and some clothes in the bedroom." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

When she walked to the second hut, what she saw was exactly the same as the first one, and she didn't find a single person.

In this way, it is still the same after visiting seven or eight rooms in a row.

"Where are the people? Did they move out collectively?" Mu Rou stood outside the door of the thatched house.

"Sister, it is impossible to relocate.".

"why?"

"This place is surrounded by cliffs. It is definitely a closed environment. To be honest, it is not easy for a strong man to get out. What's more, there are definitely some old people, women and children inside." Shui Sheng looked up and looked around: "There are also , judging from the furnishings in each house, they are basically traces of daily life. Where can we draw the conclusion of relocation?"

"My sister is right, but what about people?"

Shui Sheng didn't want to answer this question, and couldn't.

"Let's continue to search." After saying this, her heart became more and more heavy, but she still had the last hope to find a living person.

"Yes." Mu Rou agreed.

The two figures went shopping one after another, still disappointing.

Shui Sheng suddenly felt that this place was so bleak.

"There is a bigger house in front." Mu Rou suddenly pointed with her finger.

She looked along, and not far away, there was really a room surrounded by wooden fences.

Although there is grass growing on the ground outside the house, there are still many objects that look like clothes.

"Sister, go for a while."

After speaking, the footsteps began to move, the wooden fence was very close, and it took less than 2 minutes to reach it.

Shui Sheng stood outside the fence and looked in, yelling horrified and creepy: "Sister, come quickly, dead skeleton."

If the scene wasn't [-]% miserable, Duan Duan wouldn't have made such a sound.

"Really?" Mu Rou rushed over when she heard the sound, she was stunned for a moment, and a tragic scene came into her eyes: In the courtyard, there was a table with four corners turned upside down, chairs reclining, and on the ground, lying on the ground, lying on the ground. The skeletons of people in different clothes seem to be male and female, old and young.Very few of them still have bowls and chopsticks on their bodies.

"how so."

No one wants to see this scene, this scene that makes people feel sad.

Shui Sheng opened the wooden gate, and replied: "This should be the shocking secret your master refers to." When the premonition in his heart becomes a fact, the guess is definitely based.

"Didn't you say you were in the Narcissus Cave?" It turned out that they had told her when they were chatting.

"Brother Wuhen's inference at that time may be completely wrong. Because there is a message on your master's brocade cloth: For me alone, hundreds of souls have returned, and the eight characters have come to enlightenment. This is the most consistent place. I calculated that there are almost sixty residents. According to the average of three or four people per household, there are at least two or three hundred people in the low valley. And, judging from the wind erosion of the bones, they should have died for about five years."

"You mean: Brother Sang won't find any bones in Narcissus Cave? No matter the time of death or the number of people in the trough, do they match the master's last words?" Mu Rou had doubts in her heart but did not say it or argue.

"Yes."

"Are you sure that the people here were killed by others? It's not something else?"

Shui Sheng didn't answer, but took three or four steps forward, looked carefully at the skulls, then bent down, and took out a small sword and a few slender needles from the gaps in their skulls.

"This is the murder weapon." Immediately, he sighed.

When Mu Rou saw it, she was instantly speechless.

Shui Sheng walked forward slowly again, and saw a distinctive dress. Although it had been ravaged by wind and rain and time had accumulated, it could still be discerned that it was once red.

She looked again at the upturned table, some broken bowls and scattered chopsticks, and said faintly, "I finally understand one thing."

"what's up?"

"Why is there no one alive in the valley?"

"Tell me."

"Now it can be speculated that the person with the most power in the trough lives in the house. The whole village came to celebrate because of a happy event for his son, so the day was very lively. Unfortunately, unfortunately: during the meal, your master Cheng Sanjiu wanted to avoid being chased. Kill and break in rashly.”

"In other words, the intrusion of the master caused this brutal massacre?"

"It should be like this." Shui Sheng nodded.Then he said: "The murderer who chased after him, indiscriminately, used illusions as soon as he entered, and surrounded the people who hadn't recovered from their senses in the wooden fence. Stabbing innocent people."

"The master also knows illusion, and it's very powerful, it can be resolved completely." Mu Rou retorted.

"Maybe he was seriously injured at the time and was unable to make any moves. He jumped out of the phantom and fled to the mountains alone. In the end, he wrote his last words in a hut and died due to exhaustion."

Hearing the reasonable speculation, she looked around and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "How tragic was the scene here at that time."

"Ah."

As the two looked at each other, they seemed to hear the screams of adults and the cries of children.

a long time.

Shui Sheng said: "The murderer is extremely cruel, I want to ask why your master was hunted down by others."

"I'm not hiding from you, I really don't know, the master has always acted alone." Mu Rou's tone was extremely sincere.

That's right, facing so many people who died for her master, even if it's a big secret, I don't think there is any reason to keep it a secret.

"Sister, I believe you." The tone was very soft and soft.

Mu Rou didn't reply, and looked at the sky. "It's almost dusk, where are we going to stay?"

"Are you afraid?" Shui Sheng showed a long-lost smile.

"Silly girl, what am I afraid of?"

"Okay, stay in the house undressed for the night, and then climb the mountain to look for it tomorrow."

In fact, this room is no different from other houses, except that the living area is larger and higher.

They stepped into the main room and found several skeletons. Judging from their clothes, they should be bridesmaids and brides.

Mu Rou let out a long sigh, bent down, and gathered the clothes into a ball, with the bones inside.

"Sister, do you know why they live here?"

"About decades ago, they migrated from other places in order to avoid the disaster of war. They thought that finding a place of paradise would save them from the suffering of war. No one would have expected such an outcome."

"It's a pity." Mu Rou's face was gloomy, and she added: "Sister, I hope you will definitely catch the murderer."

"Don't worry, sister. If the case is not solved, Brother Wuhen will not let go."
