Ruan Xiu is very ambitious. At this time, she still looks like a weak woman in front of others.
Her eyes were shining, and she looked determined to win the 'Chaoyin' device.
Compared with the 'Shenghui Group' that has suddenly emerged in the past six months.
'Tianfu Group' has been operating since the natural disaster until now.
Ruan Tianfu, the boss of 'Tianfu Group', is Ruan Xiu's father.
Under Ruan Tianfu's management, the group's business is booming. Not only does it dominate one area, it also has cooperative relationships with many cities.
It was originally thought that the 'Tianfu Group' would dominate the Fenshui area.
Unexpectedly, the 'Shenghui Group', which only appeared this year, almost swept this area with its terrifying 'blood descendants'.
After that, they quickly absorbed small forces and small gangs from various places.
The 'Shenghui Group' has risen at the speed of light, and even the 'Tianfu Group' has been overwhelmed.
As Ruan Tianfu's daughter, how could Ruan Xiu swallow this sigh of relief.
Therefore, when she knew that the target of 'Shenghui Group' was actually the 'Chaoyin' device.
Ruan Xiu had already made up his mind. On the surface, he was chasing the target for the 'Shenghui Group', but in fact, he wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the 'Chaoyin' and find Qiyu first.
As for the people she summoned.
Whether it was Du Kong who had died on the street, or Old Man Chang, Concubine Lin, or even Qu Youhua who admired him.
To her, they were just pawns.
As long as she can achieve her goal, she will not hesitate to sacrifice all these chess pieces.
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
In the evening, Luo Yan saw a village.
Wushui Village.
This village is built near a river called 'Wuhe'. The village is not big. From the hillside, there are only about a hundred households.
Most of the houses in the village are self-built, but the government building in the village is well-built. In addition, there is a basketball court behind the village.
It seems that before the natural disaster, the village's environment was not bad.
Now of course it's a different scene.
The large farmland outside the village entrance has been abandoned, overgrown with weeds, and is now covered with snow.
Half of the houses in the village were in ruins. From a distance, it looked like they had been accidentally destroyed by a passing giant beast.
but.
There are still people in the village, and the smoke from the kitchens in twos and threes tells a lot of things.
Moreover, there is a homemade gate at the entrance of the village, and two villagers are guarding it.
When Luo Yan and Luo Yan drove their snowmobiles to the entrance of Wushui Village, they saw two villagers looking up.
Both of them are very old, ugly, and have bad eyes.
One of them was skinning a rabbit, and a mountain rabbit grabbed its long ear, cut a slit in the skin with a knife, and then pulled hard.
The mountain rabbit was actually not dead. It was skinned alive, screamed in pain, and finally died of pain.
The other one carried a pistol he picked up from somewhere and walked towards Luo Yan and the two of them on the snow.
"What are you doing?"
The tone was harsh, and the gun was pointed at Luo Yan and Song Qiutang intentionally or unintentionally.
Song Qiutang said softly: "Let me tell you."
She then stepped forward and said with a local accent: "Fellow, we are passing by."
"It's getting late. Can you let us spend the night in the village? We'll leave tomorrow."
Then Song Qiutang talked to the village man for a few words, and finally gave him a tablet of toilet pills.
The gate barrier blocking the entrance of the village was raised, allowing Luo Yan and the others to pass.
When passing the gate, Luo Yan saw the man skinning the rabbit and cleaning its internal organs.
The man took out the heart of the rabbit, wiped it on the snow, and threw it directly into his mouth.
Before the other party looked over, Luo Yan withdrew his gaze first.
Following the villagers' guidance, they settled in a courtyard not far from the village entrance.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, but the two-story building was still intact and could barely survive a night.
There is also a well in the yard with a cover.
The village man removed the lid and said, "If you want to drink water, you can get it yourself. There is no running water now anyway. You can take care of the cooking and other matters yourself. Don't go out at night and don't cause trouble."
"Otherwise the village chief will chase you away, and I won't be able to control you."
"I know, thank you, fellow villager." Song Qiutang sent the village man away.
Luo Yanze moved the things into the small building.
Only one side of the door of the small building is left, and broken Spring Festival couplets are pasted on both sides of the door.
After entering the door, there is a stone screen, and behind it is the living room.
The living room was naturally in a mess, so Song Qiutang quickly cleaned it up. After a while, the living room became cleaner.
Luo Yan cut some weeds outside and spread them on the ground.
This way it won't be too cold if you sleep on the hay later.
Fortunately, except for one side of the door missing, the windows are still intact, but they are a bit dirty, but at least they can keep out the wind and snow.
For Luo Yan, who has experienced life on the surface, such conditions are considered good.
But Song Qiutang was still a little unaccustomed to it. Luo Yan watched her set up a tent by herself, then moved the hay into the tent to lay it out, and quickly made a small nest.
When Song Qiutang came out again, Luo Yan gave her a share of food.
"Don't sleep too hard tonight."
Luo Yan glanced at the gate: "This village is not peaceful."
"The man looking at the village entrance is definitely not a kind person. Maybe the people living in this village are no longer the original villagers."
"I'll go out for a spin later and see if Chaoyin can find anything."
Song Qiutang nodded obediently, picked up the food and started eating.
After finishing dinner, Luo Yan left the yard.
He used the 'Open Nether Wheel', restrained his aura, and took advantage of the wind and snow to circle around Wushui Village.
Luo Yan found that most of the villagers lived in the area around the village ancestral hall.
When he passed the ancestral hall, a wild boar was being roasted inside. A dozen men were scattered throughout the ancestral hall, eating meat and drinking wine.
Luo Yan quietly retreated into the courtyard without alerting anyone.
In the small building in the courtyard, Song Qiutang was playing with the 'Chaoyin' when he saw Luo Yan coming back.
"I just searched around and found no trace of the strange fish nearby. It seems that it has gone away."
Luo Yan nodded, not surprised.
Song Qiutang continued: "However, the Wu River here goes all the way to the west, and will merge into another river seven or eight kilometers away."
"We can go there tomorrow and have a look."
"By the way, have you discovered anything?"
Luo Yan sat down and said in a deep voice: "The villagers in this village are all mature men. I just walked around and found no women or children."
"Of course there are no old people."
Song Qiutang was not a little girl who was inexperienced in the world. In addition, she had been living on the surface for the past few months. She could hear something unusual in Luo Yan's words.
"There are only middle-aged men. Could it be that they are a group of bandits or bandits?"
Luo Yan took out the 'Dragon Elephant' and performed daily maintenance: "Whether it is yes or no, we will know in the evening."
