Can't find out on our heads

It took some time when Du Wan passed by.

People stand on the top of the mountain and look at it, thinking that the place is very close, and only when they really go through it will understand that it is an illusion.

It took about an hour to leave before Du Wan arrived at her destination.

It is a small village in the middle of the mountain, which is just over a dozen families.

Du Wan did not attract the attention of the villagers in the past, so she caused the dog to bark first.

Every household here has wolf dogs, hunting for a living.

A villager came out of the house and soon saw Du Wan.

When I saw that she was alone, I was very surprised. However, Du Wan's clothes were of extraordinary origin at the sight, and she was wearing a long sword around her waist.

At this time, an old uncle stood up and said, "Girl, you are..."

"Hello uncle, I'm lost. I originally wanted to go to Niujia Village to find someone." Du Wan spoke with a good attitude.

The villagers were wary of strangers, but they were not very good at giving birth to a girl's home, especially the girl was beautiful and had a good attitude. While chatting with people, Du Wan also asked about the court's disaster relief, and seeing a team entering the mountain on the day of the earthquake, etc.

However, the official sent a few times to the snow disaster, but there was no relief.

It was their small village, and the situation was fine.

No one has seen whether anyone entered the mountain during the earthquake. The reason is that the mountain roads are different. There is a section of roads entering the mountain on the official road, but there is a three-way road at the foot of the mountain. This winter, everyone wants to stay at home, and it is not surprising that no one sees it.

After the earthquake, no one entered the mountains these days.

Du Wan asked, "Is the earthquake severe in this mountain?"

"Seriously." The old uncle replied with lingering fear, "It was like a landslide that day."

A woman interrupted, "It's not just a mountain collapse, but she thought the sky had stepped down..."

"Hehe, there was a loud bang." A child said exaggeratedly, and a little girl next to him also said that that day was terrible.

Du Wan knew this was terrible.

During the Chinese New Year, villagers do not enter the mountain and do not know the specific situation.

At this time, Du Wan asked about the way to Niujia Village.

A honest man said, "There is an avalanche in the south mountain and the snow is blocked."

"Dalin, how do you know?" the old uncle asked.

The man replied: "My wife's family is from Niujia Village. On the second day of the earthquake, my wife was worried about her family and wanted me to go there, but she didn't go there."

The road was blocked, not just an avalanche, but half of the mountain seemed to have collapsed.

Du Wan looked solemn when she heard this, but hope couldn't help but rise in her heart.

Could it be the elder brother that he couldn't come back in Niujia Village because the mountain road was blocked? It would be great if this was the case. Du Wan couldn't wait to go to Niujia Village to take a look.

Du Wan asked how to go to Niujia Village, and some villagers pointed out the direction.

Originally, she wanted to pay for someone to lead the way, but when she heard the man say that the mountain collapsed and the road was blocked, she changed her mind temporarily.

After thanking the villagers, she set off again.

Not long after leaving the village, Du Wan stopped.

Some of the conversations coming from behind were very suspicious.

It was the old uncle and a woman who were talking in a low voice in the room.

The woman said, "The head of the house, is that girl gone?"

"Let's go." The old uncle replied.

The woman said again: "I heard from the girl that she was going to Niujia Village to find someone. Could it be..."

"Don't worry, I can't find out on our heads." The old uncle just sucked the dry tobacco.

Du Wan felt suspicious in her heart.

What's the meaning?

After waiting for a while, I didn't hear anything the two of them say again.

For a moment, she wanted to turn around and catch the two of them for interrogation.

However, she wanted to go to Niujia Village first than to investigate in the village.

Since he heard some villagers say that Niujia Village and the road outside were blocked, Du Wan felt a sense of hope. It was that Du Qian had been missing because of the blockage of mountain roads and he was temporarily trapped in Niujia Village.

In the middle of winter, it is impossible for ordinary people to cross mountains and ridges.

But Du Wan was not difficult. According to the map, the road pointed by the villagers, and the original road was blocked, so she simply chose the most direct route - taking a straight line.

It took not much time to find Niujia Village.

Niujia Village is surrounded by mountains. This village is not small, with hundreds of families. Because it has been hit by disasters not long ago, the villagers' lives are not easy.

When Du Wan came to the village, her heart sank before she could beat someone to ask.

No foreign horses were seen, no guards were seen.

There is no shortage of people around Du Qian. If these people are temporarily settled in Niujia Village, there is no reason why people are inside the house, but there is not even a horse outside.

Or, there are no horses in the entire village.

Du Wan was not in a hurry to ask someone for questions and walked around the village quickly.

Finally, I came to the largest courtyard in the village.

The village chief lived in this house.

When I heard someone knocking outside, the village chief’s eldest daughter-in-law came outside to open the door. When she saw that it was a little girl, she was very surprised, “Who are you looking for?”

"Look for the village chief and ask for something."

Du Wan said her purpose for the trip.

After a while, the village chief came out to invite her in.

Du Wan sat down, and the village chief’s wife went to pour a bowl of tea.

However, Du Wan didn't touch it.

She still remembers the matter of not eating randomly when she goes out alone.

Du Wan revealed her identity, and the village chief's family was shocked, and then knelt down to pay his respects in fear.

"There is no need for these false rituals, all of them are up." Du Wan was not patient enough and asked directly, "I want to know if there are people coming to the village on the day of the earthquake?"

"Some. The official sent a delegation to send grain early that morning and encountered a robber. Later, a group of people came to investigate and left before the sun set." The village chief recalled what happened that day and said in a singular manner, not daring to hide anything.

He could not confirm Du Wan's identity, but he did not dare to question it.

Du Wan asked about some details, especially the appearance of the person in charge.

The village chief dared not look directly at Du Qian's appearance, but he had seen it one or two times, and the description was similar to Du Qian, but before the earthquake, they had already left Niujia Village. The mountain road outside was blocked, and the people in the village went out again. In this way, the village chief did not know the situation outside.

Nowadays, many people in the village are short of food.

Almost three or five days later, someone will starve to death, either an elderly person or a girl.

After Du Wan asked clearly, she left a few taels of silver and then asked a few more. The questions she asked were probably the same as those of the village chief. Then she left the village, but she kept focusing on the movements in the village and learned that most of the content of their chat was related to her.

I just said that a beautiful girl came to the village and asked about the day of the earthquake.

How many gangsters in the village still want to rob her together?
