Cat Travels: The Road to the Devil

Chapter 4 Crowd 2

The closer to the field of the Liu family, the more ominous atmosphere becomes. In a deserted village, there is almost no human figure. Now it was noon, but every family closed their doors and windows tightly, and their foregated eyes slowly swept over the wooden houses around them, and the doubts in their hearts were about to overflow.

"The villagers seem to be afraid of life." The little black eagle flew from not far away. He roughly toured the whole village. There were people in every room, but they refused to come out.

"It's almost there." Lian Jian bent down and picked up the water bag hanging on the horse. When she unscrewed the lid, she found that there was only one mouthful of water left in the water bag. After licking her tongue, she looked left and right, then turned over and got off the horse, ready to go to the nearest family to ask for water.

As soon as he took two steps, Foreng heard a strange sound from the room, as if someone had fallen to the ground. Forthia took two more steps forward, and the footsteps in the room obviously became flustered, and even a woman trembled with fear. She was so pitied that she could not say a complete word.

"Excuse me...is anyone there?"

Afraid of scaring them, Lian Jian lowered her tone as much as possible. With her ear power, she could hear the heavy breathing of the people in the room, but they didn't say a word.

The little black eagle flapped its wings and landed on the edge of the window of the wooden house. His round eyes looked into the room and said rudely, "I see you! Come out and open the door!"

This shout scared the three people in the room to almost fall to the ground. They knew that they couldn't avoid it, but they didn't expect it to come so soon!

Fortear took a step forward in a hurry and explained, "Please don't be afraid. I'm just passing by here to ask for water. If it's inconvenient, I'll leave now."

The little black eagle could clearly see the reaction of the people in the room through the cracks in the window. He tilted his head and really couldn't understand what he had done with the forteagle. Why they were so frightened.

A couple in the room looked at each other. There was a girl talking outside the door. She spoke very gently. Maybe not... While thinking about it, the woman suddenly felt that her waist was tight. It turned out that her son suddenly hugged her. The six-year-old boy hugged his mother tightly for fear of being taken away.

The 30-year-old young woman had no choice but to keep touching her son's hair to reassure him. But her own heart was about to jump out of her throat. Since three months ago, dozens of villages nearby have been living extremely unsteadily.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the family was really unwilling to open the door, she slowly turned around and planned to leave.

"Nearby... I don't know where there is a river."

When Lian Jian said this, he stared at the little black eagle without blinking. A drop of sweat appeared on the little black eagle's forehead - and he wanted him to do physical work.

"Yes, yes, I'll look for it... The people in this village are really strange. This one doesn't open the door, and that one doesn't open the door. Counting on them, we will die of thirst..."

"Squeak--

Just as soon as the fortear was about to get on the horse, the door behind him opened. She turned around and saw a younger woman standing at the door with her husband.

"The girl must have traveled a long way. Come in and rest for a while." The man opened his mouth first. The couple said to give way to Forage. Forsia didn't expect them to come out, so he quickly nodded and tied the horse to a tree beside him.

"The house is very simple, please don't mind." The young woman smiled unnaturally. She is still very scared, but at least now, she is better, because she feels that the girl in front of her seems to be really a stranger.

With a smile, Lian Jian sat down at the wooden table, took the herbal tea poured for her by the young woman, and slowly drank it.

This wooden house is actually very small. Even if it is a family of three, it is a little too crowded. Moreover, looking at their tables, chairs and tea sets, Forgingia knows that they live in poverty. In addition, there was a little boy hiding behind the cabinet and peeking at her from time to time. Lianjian could obviously feel the tension in his eyes.

"I'm from the north and have been driving for many days. I don't know where this is?"

"It turns out that the girl came from so far away." The middle-aged man closed the wooden door tightly, took two strides to the opposite of the fortula and sat down. Here is Qinghe Village. There are not many villagers, just about 20 families. It is a small village. It's not the right time for the girl to come. After drinking the water, go on the road quickly - by the way, Xiuer, fill the girl's water bag, which is also convenient.

"Thank you very much." Forsythia handed the water bag in her hand to the woman beside her. She lowered her head and took another sip of tea and continued to ask, "Why are people in your village so unwelcome outsiders?"

"We... Hey, it's not that we don't welcome outsiders, but now everyone is panicked, so even in broad daylight, they close their doors and windows..."

"People are panicked? Why?"

"Girl, you... don't ask so much..."

It seems that there is something difficult for this family to say. Liayi didn't know what was going on, so it was not convenient to delve into it. She drank the rest of the tea and almost planned to leave. However, before she stood up, the little boy hiding behind the cabinet suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of the fort. Without saying a word, he directly kowtowed his head a few times.

The little boy's behavior made his parents slightly embarrassed, but more sad. Lian Jian was also scared by him, but he quickly reacted and quickly came forward to help him up and patted the dust on his knee with his hand.

"Little brother, why did you kneel to me?"

"Sister, I beg you! Please help me! I beg you, I kowtow to you, sister, you want to save me!——"

The woman pulled her son over. As she wiped her tears, she said to the little boy, "Don't embarrass my sister. She's just passing by here. She's leaving. Don't embarras her, okay?"

"Mom... I don't want to go to Liu's house! I don't want it!!" The little boy turned around and cried in his mother's arms. The woman also cried. For a moment, the room was full of women and children crying.

The man sat at the table, looked at the scene in front of him, and sighed heavily.

"Is there really nothing you can do?" The young woman cried and asked.

"Xiuer, you know that this rule is set by the Liu family, and there is nothing we can do..."

In a few short dialogues, forcians probably knew that this matter was related to the Liu family, and it must not be simple. And she heard the key point from the man's words--

"Rules? What's the rule?

The man poured another cup of tea for himself. Now that he is poor, he has not been drinking for a long time, and what is mentioned now is more like inserting a knife into his heart. I don't know why he didn't drink, but he felt a little drunk and wanted to spit quickly...

"Six months ago, the war between gods and demons finally came to an end, and the demon clan was seriously injured. In a short period of time, it was impossible to make waves. I thought I could live a peaceful life from now on, but unfortunately..."
