Qingyan didn't ask any more questions and just followed Chou Chou's instructions. She knew that there must be a reason for what he said. Of course, she was also afraid that asking more questions would waste time and something might happen.
The most important thing is that even if she doesn't want to, the carriage is in Chou Chou's hands, and Big Bear has already turned to the right obediently.
There is a fork in the road on the right. As Chou Chou said before, there is a village on the right side of the mountain.
He didn't stop after turning into the fork in the road, and walked directly along the road. Between here and the town, there were only crops and wasteland, and there were only a few scattered trees here and there, which couldn't cover anything at all. You could almost see it all at a glance.
In particular, the target of their carriage is quite large, and anyone with a little better eyesight can notice it.
In fact, this is a crossroads with forks on the left and right. It is the closest village to the town in front.
The reason why I didn't go to the road on the left is because that road is higher than the open space on both sides, and walking on it is more conspicuous.
The road on the right is downhill, and you can't see it as long as you turn towards the town and look over.
Even so, he didn't stop when he turned around, but continued walking along the road. Further in, more than a mile to the south, there were some trees on both sides, which was considered a small forest.
Although the trees inside are not very dense, it can still be used as a shield.
While walking, Qingyan asked Chou Chou what was going on.
Chou Chou said to her while staring at the other side with his spiritual consciousness: "There is a problem in that town. They must have encountered bandits. Many people are concentrated in the center of the town. There are people guarding the town with swords around the town."
Qingyan: "Are you sure they are bandits? Didn't you say that they have all been wiped out? How dare you make such a big noise? Could it be that foreigners came to fight against the autumn wind? This place is close to the border. Maybe someone sneaked around the border guard. Where is the small group of soldiers?"
"Looking at their appearance and clothes, they didn't look like soldiers, nor did they look like people from the government. I used the technique of looking at the air. They had blood evil air and resentment on them, and they all carried human lives on their bodies.
Although soldiers also kill people, when they kill enemies on the battlefield, they are allowed by heaven, and they will only have evil spirits and no resentment on their bodies. "
Qingyan nodded, "I see. No wonder soldiers are always said to be upright. I was thinking before that going into battle to kill the enemy is also creating killing karma. How can I say upright? It turns out that they are officially certified by the law of heaven."
Chou Chou nodded as he sat opposite her, "Yes, that's what I mean."
Qingyan asked with some worry: "Then are we safe now? Will those people come here after robbing the town?"
After all, there is a village here. If those people also come to the village to rob, then it means they hid here in vain.
Chou Chou shook his head, "Probably not. From the looks of it, he should have taken control of the entire town. Either he was stationed there and acted as a mountain king, or he left immediately with the stolen goods. Over there in the provincial county. Got it, sent people to clear them out.
As for these remote small villages, they most likely disdain to visit them. One is that there is no oil and water at all, and the other is that the food harvest season has passed, and it is not worth their while to make a trip. "
Qingyan felt relieved and said a little worriedly: "Then they won't massacre the entire town, right?"
Chou Chou: "It's hard to say, those people are not good people, especially the leaders, the blood evil spirit in their bodies has almost solidified.
They just drove everyone out of their homes and gathered in the center of the town. Some people were plundering the shops, and some were rummaging in other people's yards. No one was dead yet.
However, a few of them were injured. They were slashed several times and bled a lot. It was not fatal. They must have resisted fiercely. "
Qingyan was not relieved. Since Chou Chou said that they were all carrying human lives, they were not good people. If they were not killing people now, they were probably busy searching for property first and did not free up their hands. If the results of the search were not satisfactory. If they do, they will definitely ask those people where their money is hidden, and then it will be hard to tell.
Thinking of something, he asked again: "Those people didn't bully women or anything, right?"
Isn't that how it is shown on TV? When bandits enter a village, they first rob, second, murder and set fire, and third, they snatch the wife of the village.
Chou Chou shook his head, "Not yet."
Qingyan: "Then how many people are there? They actually made no one in the town dare to resist."
Chou Chou looked up at her, "What, you want to help?"
Qingyan nodded, "If there are not many people and there is a chance of winning, it would be great if you can help.
If they don't hurt anyone, forget it. If they kill someone, it's a human life after all, a town's life. We can save it if we can.
Of course, we are just trying our best. If it doesn't work, forget it. We are outsiders after all, and we can't change too much, as long as it's not because of the disasters we bring. "
Chou Chou shook his head, "It's useless. There are too many people on the other side. There are at least one hundred, fifty or sixty people. Let's not say whether we can fight or not. Let's just say that the other side is ready to take action. By the time we rush over, they have already been killed. That's almost it.
But if we go there in advance, we will be discovered by them immediately before we get close, and we will not be able to help at all, and we may even get ourselves involved. "
Qingyan was a little discouraged. There were so many people on the other side, but she and Chou Chou were the only ones on their side. Not to mention that their skills were not so powerful that they could sweep them all away, but even if they were that powerful, they would have to be able to teleport over.
It’s another day to miss Xiangxiang Space. In Xiangxiang Space, all parts of the world can be reached in an instant.
Chou Chou could directly take them into the space and kill them, but that would be a bit too evil for everyone in the town to see. There is a lot of food in Chou Chou's space, and it would be a bit awkward to pretend to be dead. .
And I don’t know if this will hinder Chou Chou. After all, it is a strange beast and should be watched by heaven.
I told Chou Chou this idea. After hearing this, Chou Chou's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Qingyan: "It's impossible to take them in. Those people are carrying resentment and cause and effect. If I take their lives, If you speak, there will be merit.
But the problem is that I don’t practice merit. I practice by relying on relatively negative breaths such as resentment and violence. For me, merit is useless and may slow down my recovery.
It was because Xiang Xiang was trapped in its space over the years and passively absorbed merit and spiritual energy that it never recovered.
Haven't you noticed that after only one month of leaving it, my consciousness has recovered a lot? "
Qingyan nodded, that was indeed true. It seemed that ugliness and merit were in conflict with each other.
"Then what does your expression mean?"
Chou Chou continued: "That idea of yours is not impossible. I don't accept people, but I can directly accept the weapons in their hands. When they want to kill people, I will put away all the knives in their hands. It's not scary. Can scare them to death.
If they still take action, I will use my consciousness to control the knife and chop off their hands, so that they will definitely not dare to take action again, and the townspeople will probably resist.
In fact, if you have spiritual consciousness, it is best for you to do it. You have a contract with Xiangxiang. If you get merit here, you can share it with Xiangxiang when you return. "
Qingyan also felt a little pity. She also knew that Xiangxiang practiced with the golden light of merit, and her parents had told her before.
The reason why Xiangxiang recovered faster than Chouchou was because they went to the eight countries of the Eight-Power Allied Forces and brought back all the cultural relics and antiques they had stolen, and even emptied their museums.
It is said that Xiangxiang was so excited at the time that she almost took the big photo on the tower of Beijing Square into the space, but her parents were afraid of being discovered and stopped her in time. Xiangxiang said that the photo had the most merit and was bright. Dazzling.
Although Chou Chou relied on bad abilities to cultivate, he has never done anything to harm anyone, otherwise Heaven would not have left him and Xiang Xiang to check and balance each other.
It just likes to go to places where there are wars. It’s not that there will be wars wherever this guy goes. It just likes to run wherever there are wars.
It's as if the bad magnetic field attracts it specifically, so it is positioned inside the ferocious beast instead of the auspicious beast.
…
Now that she had thought of this method, Qingyan no longer planned to move forward. She jumped out of the car, held the reins, turned the car around, and got into the carriage again.
He said to Chou Chou: "You don't have to worry about this side, just keep an eye on that side. As long as those people want to massacre the town, especially if they have a conversation, if those people have murderous intentions, just take away their weapons." .
Once they have no weapons, we will slowly walk that way. If they have no weapons, I think there should be nothing to fear. "
Looking at Big Bear's horse butt, Qingyan thought of something else and said to Chou Chou, "Do they ride horses? If they ride horses, we will have income."
Chou Chou rolled his eyes, "I disappoint you. No, if more than a hundred people have horses, they are considered a cavalry team. How could the government not notice it?"
Qingyan pursed her lips in disappointment and was quiet for a while. She didn't know what happened, but she suddenly remembered what the shopkeeper of the Mi family said before.
He said to Chou Chou again: "If those people don't kill people but only steal money and run away, can we find out if there are wolves nearby and use wolves to deal with them?"
Chou Chou knew what she was thinking as soon as he heard this, "This is okay, but letting wolves into the town is definitely not possible. I can control the wolves to attack people, but there is no way for the wolves to distinguish between good and bad people one by one.
Those people can just leave the town and let the wolves find an open place to attack them on their only way. "
You also have to find a pack of wolves that have eaten people and seen blood. Otherwise, if the wolves are treated well by others, it will be bad for them to cause harm to others.
Of course, there is no need to tell Qingyan these things.
Qingyan also thought this method was good. Now that she thought of this method, she immediately felt relaxed.
He sighed and said, "I originally saw that town and wanted to go there to buy some food and take a walk around. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. I don't know where those bandits came from?"
This Chou Chou really knows, because it just heard it from the conversation over there.
“These people were originally planning to go to Yunling County to rob prisoners. They were other brothers from their village, and they randomly robbed people when passing by this town.
This town is smaller than the previous Xifeng Town, and there are not as many people in the town. There are also fewer surrounding villages and the distances are far away. They must have visited some of them before, and if they know how to surround this town, It was difficult for the news to leak out for a while. After they finished robbing, they would have time to continue to the county seat, which would not affect their rescue of people. "
Qingyan: "Didn't Shopkeeper Mi say that this is close to the border, and the border troops have already wiped out all the robbers nearby? There are still so many, and they haven't been wiped out at all."
Chou Chou explained: "It's said that it was wiped out. It just leveled other people's villages. There will be some fish that slipped through the net, and these fish that slipped through the net have similar odors. Even if they were not in the same village before, they were doing the same thing. Son, no, the fish that slipped through the net from several villages got together and headed east.
They built a village together in the east. How would so many people survive? Of course, he still stayed at his old job. In addition to robbing passing merchants, he also often harassed some villages during harvest times.
The county magistrate of Yunling went to ask the nearby guards to clear out the area. He didn't ask in advance. There were only half of the people on the mountain, and the other half started to rob, which left hidden dangers.
This group of people was the half that went down the mountain to rob. When they heard that the guards had left with the officers and soldiers, they wanted to rescue the brothers.
Qingyan said with a puzzled look on her face: "How do you know so clearly? Can you still search the memories in their minds?"
Chou Chou: "What are you thinking about? This place is not very far from the county seat of Yunling County. There are people from this town who are related to the county seat. This has happened for a few days, and of course it has spread to this town. .
I heard this from the whispers of the two businessmen gathered in the center of the town. "
Qingyan thought, it seems that these robbers are not strictly guarded, and they can give people a chance to gossip about them.
When watching the bandits entering the village on TV, they were not allowed to whisper to each other.
Of course, those on TV couldn't be counted, and there must be a lot of people in the town. They probably couldn't hear what the people in the middle whispered.
What's more, some people were assigned to search every house, so the manpower was even more insufficient.
Qingyan: "I don't know if these people are on any wanted list. If we have a chance to capture these people, can we collect some bounty or something?"
Chou Chou rolled his eyes and said, "Please calm down for a while. Even if there are wanted persons and bounties, there are so many people and they won't pay you per head. The most they can do is give you a verbal commendation and some money."
The question is, do you think it’s feasible for a little girl to arrest more than 100 people and go to the county government? If nothing else, why did you look at them on the way? My consciousness can only suppress beasts, but it cannot control people's thoughts. If they cause trouble on the road, we will be in trouble.
Another one said, aren't you afraid that the magistrate will doubt you? It's incredible that a little girl can win against so many people. "
Qingyan thought about it and had no choice but to give up.
It depends on what these people do then. Whether they are chopped off by Chou Chou with a knife or maimed by the wolves, in this world, even if they are not arrested, a disabled person will not be able to live well. It may be better than directly Death is even more painful.
Not to mention that she and Chou Chou were cruel. Who told them to carry human lives on their bodies? They were killing harm for the people.
