Xiao Han stood on a thick branch and looked into the distance. On the edge of the paddy field in front of him, a not too big ditch led into the distance from south to north.
The water in the ditch is very clear, and you can almost see the green water plants at the bottom of the ditch at a glance. The clear water flowed by slowly, and occasionally you could see a few fish swimming quickly in it.
The paddy field beside the ditch is huge! It is neatly divided by rows of ridges, as neatly as dried tofu embedded in the ground, which is pleasing to the eye.
Everything in front of me is a harmonious spring scenery, fields, rivers, and chirping birds. But for some reason, Xiao Han always felt that there was something lacking here.
"Master Hou, come down quickly, don't fall!" Xiaodong ran under the tree, raised his head and shouted to Xiao Han on the tree. He knew that his own Marquis could only climb trees but not descend from them! They all blame that damn snake for scaring Mr. Hou into the tree without having time to scare him down again...
"Oh, okay!" The harder I think about it, the less I have a clue! Hearing Xiaodong calling him, Xiao Han had no choice but to shake his head and climb down holding on to the branch.
"Come on, come to this point, okay! Step on my shoulders and come down!"
It took a lot of effort to get Xiao Han down from the tree. Xiaodong was rubbing his sore shoulders, but suddenly realized that something was wrong with Xiao Han, who was fine just now! His two eyes were staring straight at him, as if he was in a daze.
"Scared! Mr. Hou! What's wrong with you?" Xiaodong was startled by Xiao Han's evil appearance and quickly pushed Xiao Han.
"Don't move!" At this moment, Xiao Han suddenly shouted and pushed Xiaodong away. He stood on his toes and looked in all directions, and his frown suddenly relaxed!
Understood! finally understood! I felt something was wrong just now, but now when I saw Lengzi and Xiaodong, I suddenly knew something was wrong!
It's *quiet* around here, not a trace of human beings!
Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen outsiders in Qinling Mountains for the past few days and I’m used to it, so I didn’t notice anything when I came out! But now I think about it, how could there be no one in the farmland in broad daylight? !
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! After confirming for the last time that there was no one around, Xiao Han immediately ran back to Ren Qing anxiously and told him what he had discovered.
Ren Qing, who was busy working on the ground, heard what Xiao Han said, raised his head and looked around carefully, frowned and said: "Xiao Hou, it is indeed strange to say so. But I think we can't worry too much. ! Maybe there is some customary festival today, and people are not working in the fields! Well, we don’t need so many people here now. You and I will take a few people to the front to have a look, and let others investigate carefully here. After all, farming waits for no one!”
"That's okay!" Xiao Han looked at the few people who had gone down to the paddy field, and his uneasiness eased slightly. He turned around and told Xiaodong and Lengzi to bring their bodies with them, and then followed Ren Qing forward.
This section of the road is very straight. Although it is a dirt road, it is extremely flat! This discovery made Ren Qing murmur in his heart!
The heavy rains of the past few days must have happened here, and now the dirt roads here can still remain smooth. The only possibility is that people and cars don’t often pass by!
Speed up and keep going! After traveling for half an hour, Xiao Han and the others finally found several mud-tile houses on the roadside.
Without Xiao Han's instructions, Xiaodong immediately ran over and leaned on the window to take a look. Then he ran back shaking his head: "Master Hou, there is no one inside! And there is a thin layer of dust on the table. Look. I must have been like this for several days!"
"Keep moving forward!" Ren Qing and Xiao Han exchanged glances and decisively ordered to move forward! Now that we have arrived here, there is absolutely no reason to retreat!
The road was still empty, and a strange atmosphere gradually filled the air. It seemed that even the sun in the sky had lost its temperature.
Ren Qing and several guards were now cautiously drawing out their weapons, but Xiaodong never put down the gun in his hand!
Stop and go, I don’t know how long I walked! Just when a few people were getting more and more uneasy, they finally saw the first outsider in the past few days in front of them!
"Look! There's someone! Brother Ren, there's someone there!" Xiao Han, who was the first to spot the passerby, shouted excitedly! But unexpectedly, the person who seemed to be on the road looked back at Xiao Han and his group, and immediately ran like a ghost. In just the blink of an eye, he ran to nowhere!
"Master Hou? What's wrong with you? Why did you run away?"
The fool looked at the empty road stupidly, as if he couldn't believe it.
Xiao Han, who was still cheering, turned his neck stiffly, looked back at his group, and said uncertainly: "Run away? Do you think we are being robbed?"
Ren Qing and the others looked at me and I looked at you, and then they suddenly wanted to laugh!
Not to mention, with the way my group of people are now, no one will believe them if they are not robbers!
Perhaps he finally saw a living person. Guard Lin Sanda breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Han: "Master Hou, this person has obviously never seen the world! We are in a bit of a mess now, and he is not a shabby robber." Comparable! But at least we saw a living person! I guess we were just scaring ourselves before! If there is one person here, there will be others! When we go to the front and ask someone, we will know everything ?”
When Xiao Han heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, there are so many weird things happening in the world! Most of them scare themselves!"
Anxious to find someone to ask for details, Xiao Han and others couldn't help but speed up their pace. Unfortunately, I don’t know what went wrong! Xiao Han saw several people one after another along the way, but these people all stayed away from them as if they were seeing ghosts! There wasn't even a chance for Ren Qing to arrest anyone!
"What exactly happened here?"
This question lingers in the minds of Xiao Han and others, but fortunately, the walls of Hanzhong City can already be seen in front! I can’t believe that I can’t find out why I’m here after entering the city!
Hanzhong City, this is a majestic city guarding the Jinniu Road and the Han River! It has always been a battleground for military strategists! And because of its long origin, the population in the city is by no means less than that of Tongzhou Dayi in Guan!
It stands to reason that for such a big city, the city gate would be extremely busy during the day. But when Xiao Han got closer, he discovered that the gate of Hanzhong City was closed during the day! ! !
"Wait a minute!" Ren Qing, with a dark face, waved his hand to stop Xiao Han and others from moving forward.
Xiao Han looked at the huge city not far away in surprise and asked Ren Qing in a low voice: "Brother Ren? What's going on?! Why is the city gate closed?"
Ren Qing took two steps forward, tried his best to look at the city gate, and then said slowly: "I don't know now! But logically speaking, the city gate cannot be closed except in wartime! Now Hanzhong City is invincible on all sides, how could it happen at this time? Close the city gate?"
"Who is the governor of Hanzhong City?" Xiao Han suddenly asked.
Ren Qing subconsciously touched the transfer order in his arms, and then said: "Prince Yuan Dake, don't drive Zhang Bao!"
Xiao Han stamped his feet and gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, we are all here! We have to figure things out no matter what. Let's go directly to them! As long as these two people don't rebel, we have to give us an explanation no matter what!"
