Chapter 41 Concealment
Lu Qing's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect that Du Ming's old man is a mature person, but these villagers can't all be like Du Ming. Originally, these villagers would be very strange without using the water of the Dhara River. I believe that as long as you look for one or two villagers, you can know the reason."
Qian Kui, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked at Li Xun and said, "Sir, should we call the brothers outside the village in?"
Li Xun looked at Qian Kui and shook his head and said, "I haven't figured out what happened in Dujia Village yet. Since I already know that outsiders will disappear after entering Dujia Village for a night, we can't let everyone take the risk. You go and notify the rest of the people. Without orders, no one is allowed to enter Dujia Village without permission."
Qian Kui was about to leave, Lu Qing muttered: "Sir, does Qian Kui count as leaving Dujia Village? If so, where would you say Qian Kui's body appear?"
Qian Kui almost cursed at Lu Qing after hearing this. Can't he think of something good? He wanted to curse him to die as soon as he opened his mouth. However, what Lu Qing said reminded Qian Kui and subconsciously looked at Li Xun.
Li Xun smiled and said, "We don't know what the logic is that of the one who caused all this in Dujia Village, but if the other party judged that Qian Kui's actions belonged to the village, I was really curious. Will it dare to send Qian Kui to the Night Watch?"
Qian Kui is an orphan, without a father or mother, so naturally he has no family to talk about. If you really want to say it, Nightmare is considered Qian Kui's home.
According to Du Ming, the old village chief, the bodies of those people who left the village appeared in their homes at night. If all this was really and evil spirits were behind the scenes, Li Xun's words just now were really not a joke.
Qian Kui is not afraid. As a night watcher, if he is afraid of dealing with evil spirits, he might as well not join the night watchman, but he is still a little scared in his heart.
Seeing this, Lu Qing laughed, stepped forward and slapped Qian Kui on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think about it. Since we have entered this village, we must have been targeted. Even if you don't leave the village, the other party will come to you tonight, so what else do you have to be afraid of?"
Qian Kui was stunned and reacted, looking at Li Xun, and saw Li Xunzheng looking at him with a smile. Obviously, Li Xun must have thought of what Lu Qing said.
Seeing Qian Kui looking at him, Li Xun smiled and said, "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have let you risk your life to leave the village, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Qian Kui immediately said, "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of me anymore. I hope that the evil spirit will come to me."
Seeing Qian Kui leave, Lu Qing said seriously: "Sir, are we looking for the villagers to ask about the situation in this village?"
If they had thought they could get the information they wanted from Muramasa Du Ming, now it seems that Muramasa's words are not entirely credible.
Li Xun nodded slightly and said, "Let's go and explore the situation first. If there is really no news, then wait for the evening to see how the existence behind the scenes will make us disappear."
The sun moved westward. Although it was already afternoon, there was still some time before evening. Although these villagers were in panic all day long, they still had normal daily life.
At this moment, the young and strong people went down to work in the fields, and the women, children, the elderly and the weak stayed in the village, but because of chaos in the village, everyone had dinner, and no one dared to run around, and most of them stayed at home.
This made it convenient for Li Xun and Lu Qing to enter the village from the end of the village. The first house was opened with the door open. A man who looked about forty was wearing a short jacket with bronze arms exposed. He looked like he was a man who often worked in the fields.
At this moment, the man was squatting there, sighing, looking sad.
A woman sat at the door, doing the needlework in her hand, and said to the man: "Dad, do you think those people from the county town can solve the unclean things? Don't be like the previous detectives..."
The man heard this and said, "Okay, you girl don't have so much nonsense? Can they solve it? It's their business. If you are so silly, if someone listens, you will cause trouble for no reason..."
There was a knock on the door.
The man and the woman were shocked and looked up suddenly and saw Li Xun, Lu Qing and the other two standing at the door. The knock was exactly what Li Xun knocked on the wooden door.
The woman subconsciously lowered her head, and a hint of panic appeared on her face. She obviously thought about whether someone had heard what she was saying behind her back just now.
The man glared at the woman fiercely, then stood up and smiled and said, "Sir, my wife doesn't know anything, it's not..."
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. Although they don’t know what officials Li Xun and others are, they still see the situation that Du Ming, the village chief, was respectful to Li Xun and others. Now that someone is listening to the fact that someone is not panic, it would be strange if the man is not panic.
Li Xun's eyes swept over the two of them, and smiled slightly and said, "Don't be nervous, you two have something to ask you. If you can answer truthfully, you will assume that nothing happened just now."
The man showed a happier look on his face when he heard this, "If you have anything, just ask me. If we know, we will definitely not dare to hide it!"
Li Xun nodded and said, "I saw that the villagers in the village seemed to be carrying wells and washing clothes and cooking. They were guarding the Dhara River, so why don't everyone go to the river to do laundry?"
After hearing what Li Xun said, the man and the woman's face changed, as if they had touched some taboo. The man said in a panic: "Don't we think the river is not clean enough?"
Lu Qing, who was standing by, smiled and said, "As you say that, countless people around the Dhara River eat and drink, this is the first time we heard that the river water is not clean!"
The man's face turned red and looked embarrassed. Even the fool could tell that the man was lying.
With a light cough, Li Xun looked at the man and said, "Is something happening in the village related to the Dhara River, which makes you unwilling or dare not use the Dhara River?"
Li Xun's sharp gaze suddenly panicked the man and waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't ask me, we don't know anything, we don't know anything!"
With a bang, the man actually pulled the woman into the room and closed the door directly. Li Xun and Lu Qing, who only looked at this reaction, were stunned.
Lu Qing subconsciously stepped forward to knock the closed door open, but Li Xun shook his head and said, "No need, since he refused to say it, let's go and ask others."
Although the couple didn't say anything, their reaction confirmed Li Xun's speculation. Du Ming, the village master and the villagers of Dujia Village must have concealed some crucial information.
After stomping his feet, Lu Qing said, "If you ask me to say, these people are really ignorant and stubborn. You may have lost your life at any time, and you will still hide something from us. If you ask me to say, we might as well leave it alone and let them die."
The room was quiet, and the couple who hid were definitely able to hear Lu Qing's complaints, but even though they knew that their actions were at risk of angering Li Xun and Lu Qing, they had no intention of opening the door, and it was obvious that they were unwilling to tell the hidden things.
