Mu Yunxiao carefully observed the place where the carriage had just been parked. There was indeed no problem at first. One thing she overlooked was that this was on the desert road, and there were many refugees around. If an unmanned carriage was parked aside, then They will definitely be patronized by refugees. If they don't get on the bus, it means there is something on the bus that is frightening them.
It's a pity that I thought of that a little late.
There were two obvious grooves under the wheels of the carriage, indicating that the carriage had parked here more than once. There was a big tree next to it, which was just enough to provide him with a cover.
The refugees over there were reluctant to say it at first, but finally they were tempted by the food. It was indeed not their first time committing a crime. They came here about once every half a month, and each time they used the same routine. They just took the person away. Go and sell them. If they meet chaste people and directly kill people and eat human flesh, moral laws will no longer be able to restrain them.
They also have spies here. Generally speaking, no one will stay here for more than half a month for the lost person. After all, they themselves have to survive. Even if there is plenty of food and not enough water, if someone still insists on staying here, If they are looking for it, they will ask their own people to pretend to be insiders and report the news, and then they will catch them all.
The refugee had only one meaning when he told everyone so much, and that was to take him with him on the road in the future and give him some food. He would stay here if he got separated from his family on the road.
The person who tracked the wheel marks also came back and said that the car marks disappeared at a turning intersection, and there were no traces at either intersection.
Suddenly there was no clue again. According to what the refugees said, they would not show up until at least half a month, but half a month was enough to do a lot of things.
Mu Yunxiao asked the refugee again, "Do you know where the nearest water source is from here?"
With so many people gathered here, there should be no water to drink, especially since there is a gang of robbers. Since they have erased their traces, it is possible that they are nearby, and they are more afraid that someone will follow the traces and find them.
Of course, this is just a conjecture of Mu Yunxiao. Whether it is correct or not remains to be confirmed by others.
The refugee glanced at Mu Yunxiao and said, "Follow the path over there. There is a small well about five kilometers away, but there are many people fetching water. You may not be able to wait in line for a whole day."
Mu Yunxiao looked at the village chief, "Just find two people to go to the place he said. Maybe you can get some news."
The village chief looked around, but no one agreed to go. After all, they could kidnap people in public. What if two people went and were arrested.
The village chief looked at Mu Yunxiao in embarrassment, "Why don't you and your brother go? You two are the most powerful people in this village."
Mu Yunxiao took a step back and said, "What are you talking about? The person who was taken away is not my family, why do you want me to go there?"
Her most important responsibility is to protect a few children. If she leaves, these children will probably not end well if something happens. Their biological father will come and peel off their skin, but she can't give it back. They would believe that the villagers would protect them.
The village chief choked, "Are you really going to die without saving me?"
Mu Yunxiao shook his head, "It's not that I refused to save them. They all still have families, and it's not like the whole family is dead and no one is looking for them."
"If you don't want to go, then I will go. I feel sorry for my own daughter." The village chief's daughter-in-law said.
Another mother also stood up and said that she would also go along to find out the news.
"Nonsense, I don't know how much you have, so just stay still and don't cause trouble." The village chief's son grabbed his wife.
"If you don't want to save my daughter, then I'll go by myself. I know you don't like a girl, and you usually only show your favor to her. What if her brother was kidnapped!"
"Pah!" The slap sounded crisp and loud.
"She was deceived for her own gain, and she wasn't someone you pampered in daily life. What does it have to do with her brother? It's already annoying enough when a person in the family is missing, so you can't stop adding fuel to the fire. , and also cursed her brother, who was also born in your tenth month of pregnancy."
The village chief's daughter-in-law covered her face and sobbed softly, and was dragged away.
Everyone's eyes focused on Mu Yunxiao's face again.
"Let's do this, you send a man to go with me. After all, my sister still has children to take care of, so don't embarrass her. There are so many men who can't muster the courage?" Mu Yunfei said.
His eyes scanned the men on the field, and they all lowered their heads when they caught his gaze.
"I'll go." A teenage boy raised his hand.
His mother quickly pressed down his hand, "What are you going to do? Are you going to die?"
"Mom, you often say that you want me to support my sister when I grow up, but now that my sister is in danger, why don't you let me go?"
Junzi's mother couldn't answer. Could it be that she said this just to make his sister treat him better, and don't forget to subsidize the family after getting married?
"Then I'll go." Song Jun suddenly slipped away like a loach.
"Come back." But no one listened to him.
"Sister, actually I am the bandit leader. There are no two people who look exactly the same. But I am very happy to be your brother, and I feel at ease. Maybe I was very unstable before. If this The next time I come back alive, I will be your upright brother, and we will be a family from now on."
Mu Yunxiao nodded. Although she didn't know when he suspected her identity, she felt that he was not a bad person after getting in touch with him. She accepted all seven daughters, including a younger brother.
"Let's go, big guy." Song Jun couldn't help but urge Mu Yunfei when he saw Mu Yunfei was stalling. If he didn't hurry up, his mother would chase him back.
"Wait a minute." The refugee called them.
"Although there are their informants here, the news is not spread so quickly, but you also need to change your appearance. Look at which of these people is not slovenly. Those who are clean and tidy will become their targets. "
"Am I afraid of them?" Mu Yunfei's tone was full of disdain.
"Since he said so, let's just follow what he said. You dress up and remember to keep a low profile. You are here to get information, so don't cause trouble."
As soon as Mu Yunxiao said this, Mu Yunfei became quiet and did as the refugees said.
Mu Yunxiao stuffed some food into Mu Yunfei, "Remember to come back before dark tomorrow, regardless of whether you have received any news."
Mu Yunfei and Song Jun set off, and the refugees were used as hostages. If they didn't come back before dark tomorrow, he wouldn't live anymore.
