Chapter 8 The Sow Kills a Man
Zhang Yuan took the money and looked at the people on the street in confusion.
These residents looked obviously nervous, coming and going in a hurry, all bowed their heads and rushed, and even there were too few stalls, which looked deserted.
This is different from what he remembers Chujiang City!
"It seems that something really happened."
Zhang Yuan was suspicious.
He walked towards the rice shop, slapped the table, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, as usual, one thousand kilograms of rice and one thousand kilograms of noodles."
The shopkeeper was a short and thin middle-aged man in his forties. He hurriedly walked over from the inner hall and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhang. I knew you would come. I had prepared what you wanted in advance."
Zhang Yuan nodded and handed over all the twenty taels of silver to the other party. He suddenly asked in confusion: "Shopkeeper Zhang, is there something wrong in this city?"
The shopkeeper's face changed, he looked around and pulled Zhang Yuan aside, and sighed in a low voice: "Something happened, hey, you should have seen it, the Huoyun army of the court has been dispatched."
"What the hell is it?"
Zhang Yuan became curious.
"Five days ago, Zhang Yuanwai's family of eighty-nine were suddenly bitten to death by a crazy sow. Everyone died in a terrible way. The news has been blocked, but it still spread."
The shopkeeper's face turned pale and he whispered.
"sow?"
Zhang Yuan widened his eyes and said, "What a joke? Even an elephant can't kill so many people."
He had heard of sows climbing trees, but he had never heard of sows biting people to death.
"Silent, low voice."
The shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his finger and whispered again: "It's nothing? The Fang Butcher family at the intersection of the street suddenly died suddenly on the night of three days ago. When the bodies were carried out, there was no injury from the outside, nor any signs of poisoning. However, the coroner in the yamen opened their abdomen and drilled out countless maggots from it. The coroner went crazy that night, killed all the young and escaped for a day, and had no trace yet."
Zhang Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
What's wrong with this world?
It was already a sensational enough to die in Black Hawk Castle, and even such a terrible thing happened in Chujiang City.
Being bitten to death by a sow!
Being marred to death by maggots!
Also, being scared to death and killing the whole family?
He felt like he was listening to a serial novel.
"Also, the night before yesterday, the woman from the East Street Satin Shop suddenly disappeared. She didn't look for her until this morning. Where did you find her?"
The shopkeeper's mysterious secret is a little nervous.
“Where?”
Zhang Yuan asked.
"When they were found under their bed, half of their face was gone, but they were still alive. Unfortunately, after being carried out for half an hour, they suddenly turned black all over, pus and blood flowed out, and then only a pair of bones were left. Dozens of eyes were watching, and many people were frightened to death."
The shopkeeper's face turned pale.
"how so?"
Zhang Yuan's eyes were completely widened.
"Who knows, news came from the yamen that it was caused by the revenge of the sects in the martial arts world. Let us keep our mouths strictly. No one is allowed to discuss or speculate. The market will be closed three hours in advance at night, and no one will be allowed to go out after the market is closed."
The shopkeeper said.
"The sects seek revenge?"
Zhang Yuan's face changed.
Fuck it, it would be strange if you believe it!
The old sow can kill more than 80 people.
What sect can cultivate such old sows?
This is similar to the situation when their Black Hawk Fort disciples turned into mummies!
Mostly something strange happened!
"Okay, I won't say much. You should take care of yourself. You must go home before dark, otherwise it would be bad if someone targeted me."
The shopkeeper told me, "By the way, I'll let someone move things for you."
He greeted a few guys, brought rice and flour, and followed Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan's heart was up and down.
Not only did something happen to Black Eagle Fort, but even Chujiang City, the largest radius of 300 miles, was also in trouble.
What kind of world is this?
And he noticed that these events occurred in the past three to five days.
Although some strange events have occurred before, they have happened once every decades.
But now, so many things have happened in just five days!
And I happened to travel through time during this period.
Will your own time travel have some connection with these strange events?
Zhang Yuan's mind was rotating quickly.
Soon, all the rice and flour were brought into the carriage, and Xiaohuan also bought all the vegetables.
She seemed to have not noticed the changes in Chujiang City, and hummed a small song, sat in the carriage, quietly waiting for Elder Horse to start.
Looking at her, Zhang Yuan suddenly had a bad taste in his heart and smiled and said, "Xiao Huan, how about I tell you a story?"
"You can tell stories?"
Xiaohuan looked at him curiously.
“That’s natural.”
Zhang Yuan showed a hint of pride and smiled, "By the way, there was a wealthy family. In the middle of the night, a little maid came out to go to the bathroom. When she saw the old servant cleaning, mopping the floor in the dark. When she walked up, she asked, 'Why mopping the floor at this time'. The old servant turned around and laughed at her. The little maid felt a little confused and didn't care. She went back to sleep after going to the bathroom. The next morning, everyone was surprised to find that the corridors and toilets in the yard were red, and there were traces of tow. It turned out that the old servant was not holding a mop at all, but a person. The rag that mopped the floor was the man's hair. "
After finishing his talk, Xiaohuan suddenly felt chills and his hair stood up.
"What is your story?"
"This is called endless aftertaste."
Zhang Yuan chuckled.
Xiaohuan's face suddenly turned pale.
At this time, Elder Ma, who had a gloomy face, finally walked back from the yamen gate.
Zhang Yuan frowned and keenly realized that Elder Ma's expression was wrong, as if he had something to worry about.
"What happened? Elder Ma."
He asked curiously.
"It's a turbulent time, stop asking, hurry up and go back."
His face was extremely ugly. He probably got some very bad news from the yamen.
Zhang Yuan didn't dare to continue asking more questions. He got on the carriage and a group of people began to leave the city.
At this moment, it was dark and there were very few people leaving the city. The city closed early and there were no people on the streets.
Elder Ma asked Zhang Yuan to light a lantern, and a group of people walked towards Black Hawk Castle.
"I heard from the shopkeeper Zhang of the store that it is best not to go out at night."
Zhang Yuan hesitated.
"We are close to you, it's not a problem."
Elder Ma took a sip of wine and spoke.
Zhang Yuan won’t say much.
After undergoing the investigation, a group of people headed towards Blackhawk Fort.
It was more than ten miles away, but when I came, I didn't want it for an hour.
But when he went back, Zhang Yuan found out in confusion that he had been walking for a long time but had not yet reached Black Hawk Castle.
At this time, the sky became darker and darker and it was completely dark.
Conservatively estimated that an hour has passed.
"Elder Ma, why are we still here?"
Zhang Yuan suddenly pointed to a broken tree root in confusion and said, "Look, have we passed here before?"
Elder Ma's face suddenly became gloomy.
"drive!"
He waved his whip and speeded up the carriage.
Zhang Yuan felt a little uneasy.
Damn.
It’s not that I’ve encountered a ghost hitting a wall!
The broken tree roots are located between Black Eagle Fort and Chujiang City. They are only five or six miles apart when they meet, but they seem to be unable to rush through these five or six miles.
Elder Ma kept wiggling his whip and rushed forward without saying a word.
More than an hour passed, and they appeared in front of the broken tree root again.
Xiaohuan's face turned pale in fear.
“We’re lost?”
She tried not to think about the ghosts and walls, but even so, her voice was still a little trembling.
I have passed by here seven or eight times.
