In the teahouse, everyone was talking about the excitement.
This man named Ma Quan was praised to the fullest.
Niu Yuanping listened quietly.
He could feel that the villagers seemed to have a little admiration and a little respect for Ma Quan.
An ordinary farmer who works the land can actually go from being looked down upon and ridiculed by others to gradually becoming respected and admired by others.
To be honest.
not easy!
Na Ma Quan is indeed a person who is different from ordinary people.
Not to mention the villagers in Xiangmu Village who have witnessed the miracle with their own eyes.
Even Niu Yuanping, after just hearing part of Ma Quan's deeds, had already begun to become extremely interested.
then.
He asked, "Where does Ma Quan's family live? I want to visit."
This is indeed what Niu Yuanping thinks.
It's rare to meet such an interesting and unique person among civilians, so I must meet him in person.
In addition, Niu Yuanping actually felt something unusual deep in his heart!
That unusual feeling prompted him to find out.
Perhaps it was due to the intuition of being a demon slayer.
I can't help but be suspicious of new people or things.
Ma Quan's uniqueness indeed aroused that curiosity and doubt.
However, after listening to Niu Wenping's questions, the surrounding villagers began to shake their heads.
"Ma Quan is no longer in Xiangmu Village..."
"That's right... He seemed to have made a little fortune more than a year ago, so he moved away."
"Moved?"
After hearing this, Niu Yuanping felt more or less regretful.
at this time.
Another villager took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "Today's Xiangmu Village can no longer retain people!... When there were locust plagues and snow disasters, none of the horses left... I didn't expect that even he is not here now." I live here!..."
When he said this, other people were deeply moved and sighed.
At this moment, Niu Yuanping suddenly felt something.
He felt that the villagers seemed to have a very weak vitality!
Obviously, most of the people in this room are in their prime, and the oldest one is only forty years old.
But the strange thing is that at this time, there is a sense of twilight...
"Is it an illusion?..."
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
Can't help but become more and more suspicious.
So, Niu Yuanping glanced at the crowd and asked, "Why do you say that there is no place for people in this village?"
After listening to the question, the man smoking the pipe.
Slowly blow out a puff of smoke.
His eyes were slightly smoked by the smoke he exhaled, and he said: "I don't know what's going on... In the past few years, the population in the village has been extremely underdeveloped!... The new children , all of them have congenital disabilities... As time goes by, only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are left here! Later, even Ma Quan left... It made us all want to leave too!..."
His tone was full of confusion and helplessness.
Hearing this, Niu Yuanping frowned.
Is there really a problem?
The village is underpopulated...all the newborns are born with disabilities...
This is indeed not a simple matter!
"It seems that we need to investigate carefully."
While thinking this, Niu Yuanping drank tea.
At this moment, he really felt that Xiangmu Village was a little unusual!
A person who never thought about leaving the village when the heavy snow buried it suddenly moved away...
"Did you notice something abnormal?..."
People like Ma Quan, who are different from ordinary people, might really have some very special abilities!
Did you leave because you sensed some unusual situations in advance?
All kinds of speculations are echoing in Niu Yuanping's mind...
but.
No matter what the reason was for Ma Quan to leave Xiangmu Village, his departure seemed to have taken away part of the villagers' confidence in their lives.
"It seems... the people here have already regarded Ma Quan as their spiritual sustenance and spiritual support without even realizing it..."
Think so.
Niu Yuanping is becoming more and more interested in this Ma Quan person!
He has decided.
Go to this guy's old house to see what's going on!
Although the man has moved away, there is still a force attracting Niu Yuanping to take a look.
If he was not an ordinary person, he would definitely leave clues where he lived.
There’s no harm in doing some research ahead of time!
After obtaining the specific address from others, Niu Yuanping left the teahouse.
He walked towards the old house where Ma Quan once lived.
Niu Yuanping, who was walking on the road, really felt that the village was indeed sparsely populated...
There are either old men or old ladies on the street.
It is estimated that the men who gathered together to drink tea in the teahouse at the head of the village just now are all the middle-aged men in Xiangmu Village...
now.
Following the route guided by the villagers, Niu Yuanping came to an old house overgrown with weeds.
All I saw was that the dilapidated door was ajar.
It is true that a house without anyone living in it is most likely to become desolate...
Niu Yuanping pushed the door open and entered.
Sure enough, the yard was also overgrown with weeds.
but.
Although there are many weeds, the courtyard houses look relatively intact.
There were no signs of collapse or damage.
If it is tidied up properly, it should still be habitable.
but.
Nowadays, such a perfectly intact house is actually abandoned here, with no one living in it... It is indeed worth pondering.
This shows that the population in Xiangmu Village is indeed not prosperous! …
Niu Yuanping walked around the yard and house.
There was nothing left except some old tables and benches.
It is also difficult to find traces of Ma Quan's life here.
now.
He walked to the middle of the room.
A wooden table was placed there.
It should be a dining table, already covered with dust.
Looking at the table, Niu Yuanping's eyes flashed slightly, thoughtfully.
He felt that something was a little abnormal...
I couldn't help it, so I started talking to myself, "Why is this table... intact?..."
That's right!
Very suspicious indeed.
No one has lived in this house for more than a year.
According to common sense.
It is rumored by the villagers that there must be traces of rats in the home of a strange man who lives with rats!
However, at this time, the tables and benches placed in front of Niu Yuanping were covered with a layer of dust, and not a single bit of damage could be seen.
This doesn't look like a room with rats at all!
"Have those rats already understood human nature to this extent?..."
Niu Yuanping was filled with doubts!
Even though the mice were tamed by Ma Quan, they would not mess around and obeyed the rules like dogs... But it had been more than a year since Ma Quan had moved away.
Could it be that those animals that specialized in chewing food would still obey the rules after Ma Quan moved away?
This is incredible! …
In today's house, not only are there no signs of rat gnawing, there is not even a single rat droppings!
"Did the mice also move with Ma Quan?"
With this series of questions.
Niu Yuanping stood still in the room.
Then, he ordered the super brain system, "Use the ability of perspective imaging!"
【receive】
That mechanical voice responded, and Niu Yuanping felt that his eyes were filled with a stream of data energy.
The ability of perspective imaging is revealed instantly!
His sight immediately penetrated the soil on the ground and the walls of the house.
Nothing could hinder Niu Yuanping's vision at this time.
By controlling the energy of perspective imaging, different levels of underground scenes can be viewed at will.
At this time, he was quietly exploring every inch of soil.
But this doesn't matter.
Niu Yuanping really saw the clues!
turn out to be.
After careful observation.
He discovered that there was not even a mouse hole underneath the house!
