The entire Jiuyuan County was shrouded in darkness. To be precise, it was a thick, indestructible black like ink.
The watchman Zhang Ping had fainted long ago, and his lantern was left aside. The tung oil in the lantern was poured on the ground and burned silently.
It's a pity that the flame that can usually light up far away can't light up this darkness at this moment.
The wind is blowing.
A group of Yin soldiers came silently, with many shadows. These Yin soldiers were wearing long white clothes and tall hats, and walked with expressionless faces.
The Yin soldiers were followed by Yin horses, and the Yin horses walked neatly and orderly. It stands to reason that the horses have iron hooves, so they would make a stamping sound when walking on the road, but these Yin horses walked silently.
It seems that both the Yin soldiers and the Yin horses are enveloped in a special kind of scene.
No, the entire Jiuyuan was enveloped in this special scene.
Li Jun woke up with a start.
Gou Da happened to jump onto the bed, and their eyes met. One person and the other dog understood each other's intentions. Li Jun closed his eyes and released his soul, only to see that the whole street was empty of ghosts.
The entire street was shrouded in a strange black haze.
"The city god collects the grain. The ghosts avoid it."
"The city god collects the grain. The ghosts avoid it."
"The city god collects the grain, and the ghosts avoid it."
In the night sky, there were sounds that sounded like ghosts but not human beings. Along with these strange sounds, Li Jun found that his neighbors were walking out of the room numbly like fish.
The three Zheng brothers next door include Zheng Sanhu's daughter-in-law Jiang Xuehua.
At this moment, he was standing by the street blankly.
"Tap tap tap~"
Li Jun turned around and found that Yaya was wearing thin clothes, with her eyes closed, and walking out numbly. The strange thing was that she clearly had her eyes closed tightly, but she seemed to be able to see the road, and she walked to the big road exactly.
door.
Yaya was just about to open the door and go out.
The three ghosts of the imperial concubine appeared in time, and the imperial concubine hugged the little girl and walked back, but Yaya seemed to be unconscious and stepped forward with her feet still hanging in the air. It was extremely weird.
"Brother, Mr. Dog."
Yang Xuan floated over from nowhere.
"What happened outside? How come I've never seen anything like this before?"
Although Yang Xuan no longer had a physical body, he still felt mentally shaken.
He was horrified to find that the streets outside were filled with all kinds of people, men, women, old and young. These people were wearing thin clothes, or even no clothes at all, just standing anonymously in the cold wind.
Yang Xuan only felt his scalp numb.
He thought of a terrible word.
fish meat.
It hasn't been long since Li Jun traveled through time. This is the first time he has seen such a strange situation, isn't it?
Just thinking about it.
Yin Bing Yin Ma walked in.
Li Jun was shocked to realize that the people pulled by the yin horses were all living people, most of them were young and middle-aged men, there were also some children and women, and there were no old people.
Compared with the people on the street, the people in the cage are awake.
They beat the cage with all their strength, screamed shrilly, bit with their teeth, scratched with their hands, their hands were bloody, and their heads were bruised and bleeding, but they still couldn't open the cage, no, not even a sound could be heard.
"This year's harvest is really bad. There are only some crooked melons and cracked dates."
"This one is too small. It's growing."
"This woman is strong and reserved for laying eggs,"
"This man is so capable and his heirs are prosperous. Let him go as soon as possible. You bunch of bastards, you can't just pick the best and just fish for the best."
The Yin soldiers came over and selected everyone on the street.
Among them is a Yin soldier wearing a black robe, who seems to be the leader. This guy is responsible for supervising the work to prevent the Yin soldiers from choosing all the good ones.
Li Jun found that these Yin soldiers preferred young and middle-aged men, especially bachelors and thin men.
"Meng Youshen."
A Yin soldier suddenly pulled Jiang Xuehua and said gloomily.
"This woman has been married for three years and hasn't even given birth to a single child. She is probably useless and should be accepted!"
Meng Youshen, who was wearing a black robe, slapped him hard and cursed.
"Bah, you bastard wants to eat fresh food. She can't have children. Maybe it's her man's fault. We're going to sentence her to divorce. Uh, you guys find a young man and change your memory."
"Take his men back."
Li Jun was suddenly stunned.
He thought of his original body, the woman who only existed in his memory, and that letter.
Is it also false?
Is it the wife that the Yin God inexplicably matched in order to breed mortals?
In fact, it makes sense to think about it. Li Junyuan was poor and stupid, how could he marry a mother-in-law? She was also a woman who could write letters?
It's a pity that even with Qilin's painstaking efforts, he can't restore the true memory of his original body. Li Jun could only sigh.
Anping County and Jiuyuan County are both under the jurisdiction of Hebo. Along the Weishui River, Hebo will definitely not be able to control such a vast area.
Is it possible that the City God of Jiuyuan County is also responsible for the task of collecting grain in Anping County?
Li Jun was thinking.
Could it be?
That woman let the Yinshen arbitrarily allocate Li Jun's original body. Before Li Jun's original body had time to become husband and wife, this woman was taken away again?
Li Jun shook his head.
He felt that the truth must not be this.
Why is it Jiuyuan?
He remembered the purpose of coming to Jiuyuan in the first place. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid killing too many ghosts in one place and attracting the attention of interested people.
On the one hand, it was to investigate the truth about his original mother-in-law, but various subsequent incidents gave Li Jun deep self-doubt.
He felt that the truth he could guess must not be the truth.
"etc."
Meng Youshen suddenly stared at Jiang Xuehua and smiled: "It turns out that this is the woman that the Peach Blossom Empress likes. You must not mate with each other randomly."
"Well, her man will keep it first."
"The eldest son of this family is so incompetent, but he has a lot of meat and chewy tendons."
Meng Youshen said a word, and the Yin soldiers released Jiang Xuehua and Zheng Sanhu, and detained Zheng Dahu in the cage.
The moment Zheng Dahu entered the cage, he woke up. He looked at his surroundings in horror and collapsed on the ground motionless.
"Brother Big Tiger."
Yang Xuan had never spoken to Zheng Dahu before, so he didn't expect that Brother Dahu's shouts were so affectionate: "Brother, Mr. Dog, please save Brother Dahu!"
The dog snorted coldly.
"Yang Xuan, shut up. If you really don't want to shut up, just send the message. It annoys me to death. It makes you seem like you are very familiar with Zheng Dahu."
Li Jun didn't speak or send a message. He just looked at everything calmly, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.
actually.
His heart was filled with silent anger. His people were being slaughtered like fish. How could he be truly indifferent?
Yang Xuan weakly transmitted the message with a sad voice: "We rent a house from Brother Dahu's house, and he comes to the yard every day to fetch water. I...why am I not familiar with him?"
"Brother Dahu is such a good and stupid person, he shouldn't die!"
"Brother, Mr. Dog, I know you are very capable, please save him!"
