Chapter 183 Rats Overwhelming
Village Chief Jian nodded: "We need to order people every day, and there are quite a few people in the village, and we don't know where this hair comes from."
Xu Anan looked at the black and dirty hair and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Jia Ying, turn over what is inside the hair."
Jia Yingcai endured the disgust and flipped it with a stick, and found a few red embroidery threads from it. He was also stunned: "Strange, why is the embroidery thread in the hair."
Only the woman's face turned bloodless when she saw the embroidered thread: "Village Chief," her voice trembled: "Is she back? She's back to take revenge on us?"
Village Chief Jian's face turned worse when he heard this: "Shut up! Don't talk about it here, there is nothing to do."
The woman was scolded and didn't dare to say anything again. Her hands hiding in her sleeves were trembling.
Yao Zhuoyu looked at Village Chief Jian: "Who is she?"
This time, Village Chief Jian did not tell them, but said, "This is a private matter in our village. It is not convenient to disclose it to outsiders. Adults only need to find the final murderer."
They were unwilling to say more, and Yao Zhuoyu couldn't ask, but this trip might have achieved nothing.
"Miss, let's go back to Zhou's mansion?"
Xu Anan yawned: "I'm a little tired from walking. Is there an empty room in the village? I'll decide to rest here tonight."
Zhou Zicheng's face changed: "Miss, no, this village is too strange and dangerous."
"It's okay." She looked at Village Chief Jian: "Is there an empty room?"
Village Chief Jian pointed out: "There are, there are, but it's a bit simple. I'm afraid that you won't be used to sleeping with noble people."
Xu Anan was very easy to talk: "Go down and prepare, just give me a quilt and bed." She looked at Yao Zhuoyu and others again: "You guys go back, don't worry about me."
Jia Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, I'll stay here to protect your safety."
Xu Anan smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Mu Qing and Mu Yi must stay. Mu Yi looked at the village with many trees speechlessly: "Brother Qing, did you sleep on the roof last night tonight to sleep on the tree branches tonight?"
Mu Qing patted Mu Yi on the shoulder: "It will take a few days to endure it."
Jian Village took Xu Anan and others to his house. His family was him and his wife, Jian Zhao, and his only son, left Jianjia Village with his wife and grandson ten years ago and never came back.
So his house was empty and he came out, and he happened to live in Xu An'an.
As for Jia Ying, Mu Qing and Mu Yi, Village Chief Jian kindly liberated the woodshed and let the three of them squeeze at night.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Xu Anan immediately fell asleep without any ambiguity. Mu Qing was speechless: "If you don't know, you thought the Empress was here to travel around the mountains and rivers, and she would sleep when she was full, and she would rest without any movement."
The same is true in the palace. As long as she has lunch, she will sleep for a while, and her daily routine is outrageous.
The three of them were wandering around the village without doing anything, and then Jia Ying discovered that the villagers would not say that they would cook food, even if they were eating.
He was a little puzzled: "The people in this village are so strange. Even if something sucks blood, it won't appear during the day. What are they afraid of?"
Mu Qing shrugged: "I don't know."
He looked at the rats that rushed over in front of him: "Why are there rats everywhere in this village? It's like it's flooding."
Jia Ying felt normal: "This thing is a nest in one life, and one nest can bring more than a dozen of them. It is normal for more mice in the village to have more."
Mu Qing followed the rats and saw that they were actually hiding from the entrance of the cave. He was also looking at people. He lowered his curse: "Hehe, this mouse has become a sperm. He still stared at the side of the road if he didn't see people."
He picked up a stone from the ground and hit the rats very quickly. The rats screamed and then quickly fled.
As night fell, Xu Anan gave Village Chief Jian ten taels of silver, which was considered as their food and accommodation these days. Village Chief Jian smiled with the silver. Ten taels of silver, enough for them to work hard for several years.
So he took out all the meat and vegetables at home without hiding his own personal information, and even made white flour steamed buns for Xu An'an and the others. This meal was very rich tonight.
The sound of a crow outside cut through the sky, but he had no choice but to light a kerosene lamp, which seemed a little dark. If it weren't for Xu An'an here, the old couple would have turned off the lights and went to bed long ago.
They are used to being frugal, so they can save as much as possible.
It was very quiet outside, and occasionally I could only hear the sound of the wind passing by.
"Ms. Xu, you can rest after washing up. It is best not to go out at night. Don't pay attention to any sound when you hear it. Just wait for the night."
Xu Anan nodded obediently. The old couple loved Xu Anan very much. Their children had not returned home for ten years, and they took care of Xu Anan as their own child.
After Jane Zhao sent Xu Anan back to the house, she closed the door for her: "Miss Xu, sleep with peace of mind. We will be fine here. There is a candle on the table. If you are afraid of the dark, please light it."
Jane Zhao left after saying that.
Xu Anan went to light the lights, and the room lit up a lot in an instant.
"Squeak squeak."
A mouse crawled over the beam and jumped down and ran through the ripped window.
After a while, the mouse came back from the hole and screamed.
Xu Anan quickly picked up the mouse's head. It struggled for a while, and when he saw that he could not escape, he gave up resisting.
This was just an ordinary mouse. Xu Anan stared at its eyes and pulled out an embroidered thread from under its belly, exactly the same as what he saw in his hair today.
Xu Anan let go of his hand, and the mouse ran away after the disaster. She sat under the lamp and looked at the ordinary embroidery thread, as if the mouse was accidentally touching her body.
"Gugugugu."
The birds screamed outside.
“Crunch.”
The sound of biting the bones seemed particularly cunning in the quiet night.
"Empress, there is movement outside."
Xu Anan immediately opened the door and went out. When Jian Zhao heard the movement, he wanted to stop it: "Miss Xu, just wait for this sound to pass, don't worry."
But she was still one step late because Xu Anan had already run out.
Jane Zhao and Village Chief Jian looked at the threshold and did not dare to cross it: "Old man, what should I do? Miss Xu ran out."
Village Chief Jian was also anxious and told him not to go out at night, but why did he just refuse to listen? Village Chief Jian looked at the endless night outside, gritted his teeth, and went to look for someone with a broken lantern: "Old woman, if I haven't come back
, just lift the coffin that I prepared for you and use it."
Jane Zhao wiped her tears: "Old man, be careful, come back if you can't find it."
Watching Village Chief Jian disappear into the night, Jane Zhao sat back at the table.
