Qianqiu said: "It's hard to say. The monster attacked in the middle of the night, and most people were sleeping. Maybe like the villagers in Jinguang Village, they were bitten to death without any precautions and turned into monsters."
Yang Xian analyzed: "There should be some surviving villagers, Brother Qian, you and I should look carefully."
Qianqiu agreed with Yang Xian's view and said: "Brother Wang, Sanniang, take Qingxuan and stay here. Those monsters should not be found here, and we don't have anything to eat. Please bear with it for an hour. Later, we will come back to pick you up."
"You two young heroes, be careful! Those monsters don't spit out bones, and they don't recognize their relatives. They have completely lost their minds." Wang Xiaoqi said.
"Um."
Qianqiu and Yang agreed and jumped off the high roof together.
Wang Xiaoqi looked at the two people leaving and said happily: "Madam, we have lived a life worthy of our lives. God sent these two young heroes to save our family."
"Xiao Qi, we must do more good deeds in the rest of our lives as a way of repaying the two young heroes." Wang Sanniang said to Wang Xiaoqi while looking at the child in her arms.
Qianqiu and Yang Xian searched from the west entrance to the north entrance of the village, but did not find a single survivor.
The two stood on the road out of the village at the north entrance and found a lot of footprints.
"It seems that some monsters have left Sihua Village and are heading towards Gao Town." Yang Xian said.
Qianqiu said: "There are gate guards in Gao Town, so it shouldn't be that easy to get in."
"It's still safe if the city gate is closed at night, but now it's daytime and the city gate is wide open. There might be danger. I think these monsters are not slow." Yang Xian said worriedly.
Qianqiu said: "It seems we have to hurry up."
Yang Xian looked around and said: "This Sihua Village is not big. Fortunately, there are only three people who need to be taken out of the village. We can let Xiaodao take them out of the village. It would be bad if there are more. It wastes a lot of our time."
Qianqiu nodded in agreement and said, "We can go out directly from the nearest point."
The two agreed to return immediately.
After a lot of trouble, several people came out of Sihua Village smoothly.
Qianqiu said to the couple on the horse: "My Blade Horse will take you to follow me to Gao Town. Do you have any relatives in Gao Town?"
"Yes, my eldest brother Wang opens a dyeing workshop in Gao Town." Wang Xiaoqi said.
Qianqiu nodded and said: "Without further delay, let's set off immediately. We may encounter those monsters on the road. You just need to hug my horse tightly, and it will take you to a safe place."
"Thank you Qian Shaoxia."
Qianqiu and Yang Xian started galloping without sparing any effort, heading towards Gao Zhen.
【Dongfangshan·Gaozhen】
Gao Town is located in the northeast of Dongfang Mountain, connecting the Western Region to the west and Wuxia Town to the east. Most of the people in Gao Town have the surname Gao, hence the name Gao Town.
Although Gao Town is not as prosperous as Wuxia Town, it is still considered a relatively prosperous town in the Eastern Mountains.
It was just after noon, the weather was gloomy but comfortable, and several town government officers were taking a nap at the gate of the city, leaning on sticks.
"Stop, stop, what are you doing?" A younger policeman at the gate of the town stopped an old man who was entering the city.
The famous police officer is Gao Yuanda, a small leader among the police officers of the Gao Town government.
The old man replied: "I'm going home!"
The messenger glanced at him and asked in disbelief: "Go home? Why have I never seen you?"
"Master Cha, I don't go out of the city very often. It's normal that you don't know me." The old man saw that the policeman seemed to be looking for trouble, so he became more polite, for fear of getting into trouble.
Gao Yuanda narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when another older policeman's voice came from behind: "Uncle, did you leave the city this morning?"
The old man squinted his eyes and nodded hastily.
After hearing this, Gao Yuanda stopped and followed the old man to reminisce.
At this time, a magnificent carriage ran out from the city gate, with two horses driving together, full of momentum.
"Executive family, where are you going so early?" He saw at a glance that the person sitting on it was Gao Shang, the housekeeper of the family of a wealthy family member in the city.
Gao Yuanda saw him driving his carriage out of the city gate and couldn't help but ask.
Gao Shang grabbed the horse and said, "Hey!" He saw that it was Gao Yuanda, his distant nephew who was an official servant, and stopped.
"Yuanda, are you guarding the city today?" Gao Shang smiled and stuffed a vanilla leaf into his mouth, chewed it, and then asked.
Gao Yuanda replied: "Yes, the master is in a good mood today. There is nothing going on in this town, so we will let our brothers work here."
Gao Shang nodded and said, "That's pretty good. My family member asked me to go to Sihua Village to collect some food. I'll leave first."
"Slow down!" Gao Yuanda shouted with a smile.
There were not many people entering the city, and Gao Yuanda had time to narrow his eyes.
More than an hour later, there was a sound in the distance.
Gao Yuanda raised the brim of his hat, opened his eyes and looked, someone was coming on a fast horse.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" It was Wang Xiaoqi and his wife who were riding on the horse.
Gao Yuanda saw that the clothes of the two of them were in tatters and stained with blood, and he thought to himself, "Good guy, can we let you into the city?"
He gave the order, and immediately took the tripping horse rope and the fangmu and placed them at the city gate.
Wang Xiaoqi and Wang Xiaoqi didn't know how to ride a horse, so they stopped by themselves with a knife.
Wang Xiaoqi immediately asked hurriedly: "What are you doing?"
Gao Yuanda took the official sword, waved it, and said impatiently: "Come down, come down, you two come down quickly!"
Then, he pulled the two men and their children off the horse.
Wang Xiaoqi said eagerly: "Quick, quick..."
"What's so fast? Where did you two come from? What's with the blood on your body?" Gao Yuanda asked calmly.
Wang Sanniang was so anxious that she almost smoked and said: "Master, please let us in quickly, and then immediately report to the adults to close the four city gates. A large group of monsters are right behind us! They will be here soon!"
"Hahahaha!" Gao Yuanda laughed loudly, looked at the brothers around him, and said, "Are these two crazy? They lied about monsters and actually asked us to close the city gate."
His attitude suddenly changed and he said angrily: "I think you two fled here after killing someone! You actually made up lies about there being a monster."
"We didn't lie to you! Our Sihua Village has been wiped out. Our entire Sihua Village is gone!" Wang Xiaoqi shouted crazily.
Wang Qingxuan, who was in Wang Sanniang's arms, couldn't help crying.
Gao Yuanda said impatiently: "Catch him, arrest him, maybe he can help me solve a murder case."
Just as he was about to get started here, the Gao family's carriage rushed out of the woods not far away.
I saw a carriage set up high above, waving to Gao Yuanda constantly, and seemed to be shouting something.
"Coming, coming! They are coming!" Wang Xiaoqi said desperately.
Just as Gao Yuanda was about to wave and answer, he saw a dense crowd following far behind the carriage.
"How come there are so many people?" Gao Yuanda said in surprise, "It seems we are going to be busy again and check their identities."
When Wang Xiaoqi heard this, he wished he could die on the spot.
The voice shouted from above gradually became clearer: "Close the city gate! Close the city gate!"
At this time, everyone at the city gate could see clearly that the people following the carriage were clearly a large group of monsters.
The knife moved slightly, signaling Wang Xiaoqi and his wife to come up quickly.
Gao Shang's carriage arrived at the city gate first. On the carriage, he angrily scolded Gao Yuanda: "You bastard! Why are you standing still when I ask you to close the city gate?"
At this time, Gao Yuanda was still covered.
"What are you still doing? Let the people enter the city! Hurry and close the city gate!" Gao Shang was so angry that he almost went crazy!
Gao Zhen was not big enough to have a moat, so everyone entered the city in just a few steps.
"Hurry up!" At this time, Wang Xiaoqi had already been guarding the city gate, calling for everyone to hurry in.
There were also monsters that were running fast, and they held down the people who were running slower and were still watching the excitement.
A living person is instantly overwhelmed by monsters.
At this time, the city gate has not been completely closed.
"Help me, help me."
Just a few steps away from the city gate, an old woman fell to the ground. She panicked and asked for help from the policeman hiding behind the city gate.
"What are you doing standing still at this time? Close the city gate quickly!" Gao Yuanda urged the police.
Wang Xiaoqi asked in surprise: "Don't you save the old man?"
"Help! Don't you think those monsters can eat people!" Gao Yuanda cursed rudely.
Wang Xiaoqi glanced at the lady beside him and rushed over without hesitation.
As soon as he helped the old woman up and pushed her to the city gate, Wang Xiaoqi was pushed down by the monster in the blink of an eye.
The monster opened its mouth dripping with blood and kept biting at Wang Xiaoqi. Wang Xiaoqi usually worked in the fields and had a lot of strength to resist desperately.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoqi was hopeless, Gao Yuanda hurriedly closed the door.
Wang Sanniang shouted hurriedly: "Don't close the door! My husband is still outside!"
"Didn't you see that he was about to be bitten to death by a monster?" Gao Yuanda said dissatisfied.
At this time, Gao Shang slapped him in the face and cursed: "You just don't want to save me, but you actually want to give up on a warrior at this time?"
Wang Xiaoqi gradually couldn't hold on any longer, and the strength in his hands also weakened.
At this critical moment, a cold light flashed, and the head of the monster pressing Wang Xiaoqi fell to the ground.
After a splash of blood, the figures revealed were Qianqiu and Yang Xian who had arrived belatedly.
"Brother Wang, get up quickly!" Yang Xian helped Wang Xiaoqi up.
Qianqiu turned to Gao Yuanda inside the city gate and shouted: "Hurry up and close the city gate!"
Gao Yuanda was shocked by Qianqiu's sword and hurriedly closed the city gate.
Wang Sanniang was relieved to see Qianqiu and Yang Xian arrive.
Qianqiu and Yang Xian took Wang Xiaoqi and walked out.
After slashing all the way, he finally found a bloody path.
"Let's go!" Qianqiu mentioned Wang Xiaoqi and went up to the tower.
Yang Xian followed closely and jumped on.
The three of them didn't have time to say anything. Qianqiu turned over and jumped down, and saw the panic-stricken officers, soldiers and civilians.
"What are you still standing around for? You guys go tell the adults and close all the city gates quickly! The rest of the people go home quickly, close the doors and windows tightly, and don't come out unless absolutely necessary!" Qianqiu said to everyone.
Gao Yuanda and others had seen Qianqiu's ability, so they nodded numbly and hurriedly ran towards the Yamen.
Yang Xian said to Wang Xiaoqi and his wife: "Brother Wang, go find your relatives quickly. If you find them, be sure to close the doors and windows tightly."
"Thank you two young heroes." Wang Xiaoqi and his wife knew that they could not be of much help here, so they thanked them and left in a hurry.
Qianqiu said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, you and I will close the city gates on both sides first, one in the south and one in the north. The speed of the last east gate will depend on it."
Yang Xian nodded and then flew south.
Qianqiu floated up to the house, jumped up and down on the roof, and rushed straight to the north gate.
His footsteps were fast and he arrived at the North City Gate in a short time.
"Close the city gate quickly!" Qianqiu shouted anxiously while waving the Wuwu Sword.
The police officers guarding the city naturally did not take Qianqiu seriously. Instead, they said angrily: "Who are you? If you dare to come to the city gate to cause trouble, you will be arrested as soon as possible."
Qianqiu smiled and activated his cultivation: "Fire method - fire ball!"
A fireball suddenly formed and flew towards the city gate building.
"Yes, yes, it's Master Cultivator." He looked out with a discerning eye.
"Close the city gate quickly! It's too late to explain so much." Qianqiu shouted anxiously.
At this time, he could hear the monster's roar getting closer and closer.
"Let all the people enter the city and close the door immediately!" Qianqiu saw these people indifferent and could only take action himself.
When someone took action, others responded quickly. Several policemen quickly helped to call people.
The common people didn't know that a disaster was about to happen. When the officials told them to go back, they naturally obeyed.
Just when the city gate was about to close, a black mass of monsters rushed over.
"Just now, what were those just now?" A timid official sat down on the ground.
"Those monsters can eat people, you guys guard the city gate! The rest of the people go home and take refuge quickly." Qianqiu ordered, turned sideways and flew up to the roof, and rushed towards the last east city gate.
