Bai Zhuo had suffered such grievances, so he could only confide in Song Wuya.

"Brother Wu Ya, what do you mean by the two of them, why are you targeting me everywhere?"

Chapter 9 Unable to Verify

?Chapter 9 cannot be verified

Bai Zhuo's face was full of grievances, Song Wuya couldn't help him, he smiled slightly: "Brother Bai, you asked for this, I can't help you."

"Brother Wu Ya, you are wrong!" Bai Zhuo originally thought that Song Wuya would help him by saying a few words, but he didn't expect Song Wuya to say such a sentence directly to him.Bai Zhuo immediately became unhappy, and simply shook his face: "Okay! Brother Wu Ya, I will remember what you said. When you need me in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Just because Song Wuya didn't speak for him, Bai Zhuo threatened Song Wuya instead.

Regarding this, Song Wuya could only smile helplessly.

Although he urged the horses all the way, there was still not enough time, and he did not have time to reach Huai'an Mansion before the evening.

However, they were not far away from Huai'an Mansion, and the mountain that Song Wuya had seen countless times along the way was getting closer and closer to them.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and seeing a light in the distance, Song Wuya and the others immediately followed the light and passed.

Taking a closer look, it is a village, and this village is not like the village I saw outside Shanyang County before, every house is lit with lights.

Entering the village, they knocked down several houses at the entrance of the village.

The people in this village are very hospitable, and Song Wuya and the others didn't bother to settle down in the homes of these families.

"Our village is no better than the city. It's just that these simple meals suit everyone's tastes?"

The family where Song Wuya settled down had five members. An old man was next to his son and daughter-in-law, and a pair of grandchildren under his son's knees.

The family is very simple, and although the clothes they are wearing are not patched, they are still quite old.

After calling Song Wuya and the others to stay, he immediately prepared meals for them.They had already eaten, and they started a stove for several people, made a pot of white porridge, and some crude dim sum made by themselves.

Facing the enthusiastic old man, Song Wuya and the others nodded their thanks repeatedly: "Thank you, old man, it's good to have a warm mouth. It's not like the village we passed by at noon. There was no one in the whole village. You think it's strange It's not surprising, the village is obviously clean, and it looks like there are people living there, but there is no one there."

While thanking him, Song Wuya did not forget to tell about the village at noon, but he concealed some truth.

"There are other things like this?" The old man was also very surprised when he heard this, he exclaimed, and looked at Song Wuya, as if Song Wuya had lied to him.

The old man's surprise was beyond Song Wuya's expectation.

Originally, he thought that if he asked such a question, the old man would not be surprised, so he just followed this question to ask, and then probed a little more.

But now the old man's reaction made Song Wuya a little confused, not knowing what to say next.

He was at a loss for words for a while, and Bai Zhuo on the side hurriedly answered: "Let's not talk about that village, even Shanyang County, there are not many people there. The taverns and restaurants on this street don't even have stuttering food, and you can stay overnight in inns. How can there be such a strange thing? I have been hungry since morning until now, and I can hardly bear it anymore."

Bai Zhuo helped Song Wuya add something, but the surprised expressions on the faces of the old man and his family members continued unabated.

"Hey! It shouldn't be! This Shanyang County is a place with a large population. How can there be no people? Besides, Shanyang County is less than half a day away from us, and no one who has passed by has said that. What happened!" The old man was still very puzzled, and he couldn't figure out such a thing.

When he said this, he stood up next to him and said, "Father! What are you talking about passers-by! In the past two months, there have been no passers-by. This is the first wave of them!"

"Really?"

When the son reminded him, the old man reacted and was slightly taken aback.

"Yes! Dad." The daughter-in-law, who was helping everyone with dinner, also added.

After listening to what his son and daughter-in-law said, the old man lowered his head and pondered.

"In the past two months, have there been no passers-by here?"

After Song Wuya heard what the son and daughter-in-law said, he immediately asked a question.

The son nodded: "Yes! I also find it strange. In the past, there were many people coming and going here, and most of them came from the capital. But recently, I haven't seen many people."

Speaking of this matter, the old man's son also expressed his puzzlement, and looking at him, he seemed a little disappointed.

"Then someone must have passed by before us today, right?" Seeing what he said, Bai Zhuo also asked.

The old man's son still shook his head: "No! I've been working in the fields all day today. If anyone passes by here, I'll see it at a glance. I didn't see anyone passing by today!"

"Really?" Bai Zhuo asked strangely.

Logically speaking, the person from the Chu family they saw in Shanyang County today should have passed by here before them, but the old man's son said he had never seen it.

Looking at Bai Zhuo's gaze, Song Wuya didn't pay attention, thinking that the Chu family had something to do suddenly, they didn't rush to Huai'an, but stayed in Shanyang County, after all, Shanyang County The servants of the government do not treat the members of the Chu family the same way they treat them.

Originally, they planned to inquire here to verify whether what the woman and they said was true.Fortunately, this family has no idea what happened there.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were also very surprised by such a big contrast, but after looking back, it was not surprising at all.

Originally, this village was different from the one they had seen before. There were no people in that village, but here, every household had lights on.It can be seen that compared with the village outside Shanyang County, this place is completely different, and there is no problem at all.

However, just because it was normal here, it seemed even more problematic.

If everything is normal here, wouldn't anyone think of fleeing here after problems elsewhere?

The topic reached this point, but reached a deadlock, and no one knew what to say.

The porridge was already served, and Song Wuya and the others were indeed hungry, so they ate it with big mouthfuls.

After eating a bowl of porridge, the whole person seemed much more energetic.

The old man's daughter-in-law cleaned up the dishes, but Song Wuya and the others still wanted to ask some more questions.

"In the past two months, have any government servants visited the village?"

Bai Zhuo opened his mouth first, and continued to ask the old man about the situation here.

The old man shook his head: "No! There is no case here, and it's not time to collect taxes. What are the officials doing in the village?"

The old man also expressed his strangeness to Bai Zhuo's question, apparently such a thing had never happened before.

The old man's answer also made Bai Zhuo feel very strange.

In his opinion, it shouldn't be like this. After all, Shanyang County and here are only less than half a day away. How could there be no news here.

Several people looked at each other here, all puzzled by each other.

Song Wuya was listening, thinking about it in his heart.It is really hard to imagine that two places that are not too far away have such completely different performances.

Originally, I wanted to verify what the woman said before, but now I can't verify it at all.

Not only that, what the old man and his family said made Song Wuya feel that someone might be lying between them and the woman.
