After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask more carefully, but the beggar stopped talking.

At this time, they walked to the city gate again. The beggars came forward to make trouble, which distracted the attention of the gatekeeper. She and Leng Yuxie sneaked out with Wanwan.

At this time, the sky had darkened. Wanwan had been following them for so long. After all, she was still young. She was too tired to walk at this moment.

Liu Yunxiang carried her for a while, but after all, she was a three or four-year-old girl, and she was still heavy. After a while, she couldn't hold her anymore, so she gave her to Leng Yuxie.

Leng Yuxie changed several positions, and finally put it on his shoulder, "I'm warning you, don't spit on my face!"

Wanwan pouted, looking like she was about to cry.

Liu Yunxiang patted Leng Yuxie and said, "How can you hold a child like this!"

She pulled Wanwan down and taught Leng Yuxie to hold it with both hands. However, it was so simple, but he couldn't learn it. Holding the child was like holding a monster, for fear of getting close to him.

"How stupid! Yan Mu didn't learn at all back then, and he knows how to hug him!"

"A man only needs to support his family, he doesn't need to learn how to hold a child!" Leng Yuxie said.

"Men like you are the most disgusting. Zhi Xi is so kind, but he married you."

"I'm lucky that I didn't marry a woman like you!"

"I won't marry you yet!"

"Oh, what a blessing!"

The two of them were talking to each other, and it was getting dark as they walked. However, they had no intention of resting and wanted to get to Qianshui Village first.

Follow the road pointed by the beggar and walk ten miles along this official road. You will see a stone bridge. After crossing the stone bridge and walking along the mountain road for more than half an hour, you will reach Qianshui Village.

Wanwan had fallen asleep and was lying on Leng Yuxie's back. Liu Yunxiang covered her with a piece of clothing.

At this time, a group of official servants came from behind, two people on horseback in front, and a four-wheeled carriage behind them, and the group was in a hurry.

Liu Yunxiang and the others hurriedly moved to the side of the road, waiting for the team to pass by.

Liu Yunxiang didn't pay attention at first, but when the four-wheeled carriage passed by, she inadvertently glanced at the carriage and saw an arm exposed under the straw.

At that moment, a chill ran down her spine, and she was afraid that these officials would see it, so she hurriedly lowered her head.

When the group of people passed by, Leng Yuxie spoke first: "There are corpses in the car."

Liu Yunxiang walked to the middle of the road, pointed to a blood stain on the ground and said: "It looks like they died recently, and there should be several of them, but where are they going to take the bodies?"

Several people died at once, which was considered a relatively large murder case. The government had to find the murderer, but from the looks of it, it didn't look like they were investigating a case, but more like they wanted to dispose of the bodies under the cover of night.

Liu Yunxiang and Leng Yuxie looked at each other. It was obvious that they had the same idea, so they trotted after him.

Fortunately, they didn't follow very far. The officer turned to the mountain, walked a short distance, and stopped the carriage beside the mountain road.

Liu Yunxiang and the two secretly hid behind a tree, looked into the distance, and found that there were still several officials digging big holes on the mountain.

The people here pulled away the straw, lifted the bodies one by one, and threw them into the big pit. Liu Yunxiang counted eight corpses in total.

After burying all the bodies, the officials left.

The two came to the pit, which had been filled in. Looking around, they could still see several large pits. These pits were shaped like square pits because the soil was compacted downwards, so they could be seen at a glance. .

If these pits were filled with corpses, how many would there be?

Leng Yuxie gave Wanwan to Liu Yunxiang, and then found a newly filled hole with a tree plow. The hole was not dug deep, so it was dug quickly. ,

First there was a hand, then the body, and finally the head was revealed, a body of a thin and elderly man.

The male corpse was wearing coarse clothes and had thick calluses on his hands. He was not a beggar, but more like someone who was used to farm work.

Leng Yuxie removed the corpse and soon dug out another one. This one was also a male corpse, older and with white hair.

There was another corpse, that of a woman, but a young one.

They dug up one by one, and when they got to the last one, both Liu Yunxiang and Leng Yuxie were devoured.

Isn't this female corpse Wanwan's mother? Why is she dead?

"During the day, I saw her being arrested by officials." Leng Yuxie frowned.

The deeper meaning of this sentence is that the death of this woman is inseparable from those officials, and it is most likely that she was killed by them.

"The vendor said there was an epidemic in Qianshui Village. Are these people from Qianshui Village? The officials killed them to prevent the spread of the epidemic?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Even if there is an epidemic, the government cannot kill people casually. Wouldn't this violate the king's law?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Then it seems we have to go to Qianshui Village."

The beggars said that the clues were in Qianshui Village. Now that they have discovered this matter again, they can only find the answer by going to Qianshui Village.

To avoid alarming others, Leng Yuxie put the corpses back and buried them temporarily.

Liu Yunxiang counted ten pits in total.

After taking care of this, Leng Yuxie picked up Wanwan on his back, and the two of them speeded towards Qianshui Village. It wasn't until midnight that the two of them reached Qianshui Village.

But there was a group of officers and soldiers guarding the entrance to the village, and there were torches burning all around, surrounding the entire village, but it was indeed dark and dead inside.

"Why do I feel like this is a prison?" Liu Yunxiang whispered.

Leng Yuxie narrowed his eyes, "There must be some secret hidden in it."

"We have to go in."

"How to get in?"

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "Since someone can escape, we can go in."

"Ah."

"What are you talking about?"

"Wonderful!"

Liu Yunxiang curled his lips and said, "I found that you really like to quarrel with me."

"Humph!"

"What are you humming!"

Leng Yuxie glared at her, rolled his eyes, and made rude remarks. She could tell that he just hated her!

No reason, just annoying!

She was too lazy to chat with him anymore, so she used the cover of the woods to walk towards the entrance of the village.

"What did you do in the past?" Leng Yuxie asked anxiously.

"How can I find the entrance if I don't go there?"

"We don't necessarily have to go in, if there is really an epidemic..."

"Are you afraid?"

"How can I be afraid when I kill enemies and bleed on the battlefield? It's just your Seventh Prince who entrusts you to me. I have to ensure your safety... you!"

Before Leng Yuxie finished speaking, Liu Yunxiang had disappeared.

He had no choice but to carry Wanwan on his back and follow her quickly.

After a lot of effort, the two of them approached the entrance of the village. At this time, an official came driving a carriage, with seven or eight people, men, women, old and young, sitting on the carriage.

When the officer stopped the car, he urged those people to get out of the car quickly.

An old woman pulled a boy of seven or eight years old and kept pleading with the official: "Master, we promise not to say anything. Please be kind and let us go home!"

"Don't talk nonsense, because you are infected with the epidemic. In order to prevent you from spreading the disease to others, our government has brought you here. After a few days, when you are cured, we will naturally release you."

"We are in very good health, there is nothing wrong with us!" an older man shouted.

"Whether you are sick or not, the government has the final say. Go in quickly and don't cause trouble!" the official shouted.

"Master, someone asked us during the day, but we really didn't say anything. You..."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry in!"
