Mrs. Han sighed, "This matter was probably spread intentionally by the previous group of refugees."
Everyone nodded.
Mr. Qian said: "Back then, the villagers of Hehua Village insisted on blocking the entrance to the village and would not let outsiders in even if they were killed. This chilled the hearts of many people! Of course they can do such a thing."
This can only be said to be self-inflicted.
If those refugees had been given a way to survive, how could they have ended up in the situation where the whole village was killed today?
Lin Yueru frowned amid the low pressure of lamenting the impermanence of the world.
Something is really wrong with this.
Even if the refugees deliberately smeared the village and exaggerated that there were treasures in Hehua Village, they would not let the bandits take the risk of going down the mountain and looting the entire village.
Unless, it's not a risk at all for them!
They know that the imperial court has no time to care and will not hold anyone accountable, so now is the best time to massacre the village!
Lin Yueru's heart skipped a beat.
If the chaos is like this, can they really get out?
Feeling irritated, she stood up and stood at the entrance of the cave to look outside.
Han Yanqing saw her movements and immediately followed her and stood side by side with her.
"daughter in law."
Lin Yueru looked at Han Yanqing, who was much taller than her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
His voice was low, "I'm a little flustered."
Lin Yueru held his hand and said, "I have some too, but don't be afraid."
"Okay, then don't be afraid."
After Han Laoer and Qian Wen brought back the news to Hehua Village, everyone felt very heavy and confused about the way forward.
I no longer have any intention of gossiping.
Lin Yueru thought about it all afternoon, and that night she whispered to Mrs. Han that she wanted to go out.
Mrs. Han was sewing clothes for San Bao. When she was shocked, her fingertips were pricked with drops of blood.
"Girl Ru, where do you want to go? It's very chaotic outside."
The old lady's brows were filled with worry.
Lin Yueru took the water bag filled with spiritual spring water and washed her wound.
"Mom, don't worry, I want to go to Hehua Village."
"Lotus Village?"
The old lady was startled, "Are you looking for something to eat?"
The old lady reacted so quickly that Lin Yueru was stunned.
She nodded subconsciously, "Yes, our family is forced to stay in the cave now, and we can't even hold on to food and supplies for too long. Now is the best time to go to Hehua Village."
Mrs. Han shook her head, "That's true, but I'm worried."
"Besides, even if you want to go, you should let your eldest and second brother go."
Lin Yueru put her hand on the back of Mrs. Han's hand.
The old lady raised her head in surprise and saw Lin Yueru's eyes full of doubts, "Mom, do you believe me? It's the best choice for me to go."
Let her go, even if she finds nothing in Lotus Village, she can take this opportunity to take out the things in the space.
Moreover, she is indeed somewhat curious about Lotus Village.
Just because the bandits didn't find out anything unusual about Hehua Village doesn't mean they really don't have any secrets.
Mrs. Han looked at Lin Yueru's eyes and knew that she could not change her decision.
"Girl Ru, mother knows your current temperament. If you want to go, mother can't stop you. But just listen to mother and let me go with you."
Without waiting for her to respond, Mrs. Han then said seriously:
"Whether you two can find anything on this trip is secondary. First of all, you must come back safely. Be careful!"
Lin Yueru agreed without hesitation.
Someone like Han Yanqing who is skilled and completely trusts her and listens to her words is the best helper.
The two of them didn't say a word, and quietly left the cave that night with two knives in their pockets.
After leaving the cave, Lin Yueru followed the route in her memory and went all the way to Hehua Village.
When she encountered a fork in the road, and when she was hesitating which way to go, Han Yanqing poked her shoulder and said, "Daughter-in-law, go this way."
Lin Yueru was surprised, "Do you remember the road?"
Han Yanqing nodded firmly, "Yan Qing remembers it, it must be this way."
Han Yanqing would never lie, and Lin Yueru immediately took the path he said.
After walking for more than ten miles, I really saw the village surrounded by fields.
But the difference is that the last time they came, their noses were filled with the fragrance of grains.
But this time, the air was filled with the strong smell of blood carried by the breeze!
The closer you get to the village, the stronger the bloody smell becomes!
The empty village looked quiet under the moonlight.
From time to time, the howls of wild wolves could be heard in the distance, accompanied by bursts of raging wind.
Lin Yueru's back felt cold and she subconsciously tightened her clothes.
When Han Yanqing saw this, he immediately grabbed her hand and blocked her behind with his tall body.
This feeling of being protected, which she had rarely experienced before, made Lin Yueru instantly feel extremely safe!
The two entered the village hugging each other closely.
The main street of Hehua Village is full of corpses lying on the ground in various weird postures.
Blood dyed the land underfoot red.
What was a paradise before has now become a hell on earth!
She seemed to be able to hear the wailing that night through the corpses on the ground.
The two suppressed their inner discomfort and walked inside.
Several dark figures were running around in a hurry, and when the two of them took a closer look, they realized that they were not the only ones who came to Hehua Village to pick up leaks in the middle of the night!
Sure enough, in the face of survival, any fear is not worth mentioning.
Those nearby heard footsteps and looked up in panic.
Seeing that they were a young couple, they ignored them and continued to look for things in a hurry.
In order to avoid others being suspicious, Lin Yueru also took Han Yanqing with her and casually entered a house and rummaged around.
It's just that most of the houses have been ransacked. What you can see when you enter the house is that besides corpses, the ground is in mess.
After entering several houses one after another, Han Yanqing stood at the door with a face full of resistance.
"Daughter-in-law, I don't want to go in. I feel uncomfortable."
Lin Yueru touched his hair comfortingly, "It's okay, we won't go in."
She didn't want to go anymore either.
Even if you go in, you won't be able to find anything, but you will have to endure visual critical strikes again and again.
After the two abandoned the houses on the street, they turned around to the alley behind, trying to find something different.
After walking around for a full circle, Lin Yueru finally saw some clues in an inconspicuous place!
Bamboo forests are very common here in Danyang. Many villages and even mountain forests will have large bamboo forests growing in the most inconspicuous places.
But this bamboo forest in Hehua Village is a little different.
This bamboo forest is also at the very edge, but the traces of growth and scope seem to have been carefully arranged by someone.
It was a square area with a dense bamboo forest on the outside and some thorns interspersed inside, leaving no place for people to set foot and completely surrounding it.
The two of them walked closer and around, and Han Yanqing discovered a locked wooden door at the back of the bamboo forest.
If they hadn't both been extremely observant and deliberately looking for it, no one would have discovered anything was wrong!
Picking locks is a daily routine for Lin Yueru.
She found a piece of wire from the space, and Han Yanqing was shocked and pried it open in twos and twos.
Opening the door and walking through the layers of bamboo forest, your vision suddenly widens!
There is actually a large piece of cabbage hidden inside!
At this time, this piece of cabbage is still very fresh and tender, and it is growing happily hidden behind the forest.
Although it's not as big as the ones in her space, it's still much bigger than the normal cabbages outside!
This is definitely weird!
People outside can hardly live anymore, but here they can still grow such good Chinese cabbage!
