It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 490 Into the Village
Shen Yu was not very excited about going out at first, don't look at that she didn't want to stay alone at the criminal punishment department, she wanted to come with her, after she really came out, most of the time she looked like She was absent-minded and out of her mind, so Mu Liuyun simply pulled her together and went out for a walk, so as not to cause any trouble when she was bored alone.

It's okay for a person who is originally a dull gourd to be silent, just afraid that the person who was originally moving like a rabbit will suddenly become wilted.

I thought that if I went out for a while to see the bustle outside, there would be some things I could do, so that Shen Xun would be able to cheer up. I never thought that even Mu Liuyun himself would be on the verge of dying after this round, let alone Shen Xun. I can't cheer up.

Yiling County and Yuyong County are a bit similar at first glance, but it is not difficult to find out after walking around the county. Although the two places are frighteningly depressed, they are completely different. Yuyong County has no goods to sell. To do business and have nothing to do.

This Yiling County is different. Turning around, Mu Liuyun found that there was no shortage of anything here, except people.

This "lack of people" not only lacks people who buy things, but also people who sell things.

Not to mention the dry goods shop with its closed door still hanging a few dry goods for itself as a sign to attract customers, even the blacksmith shop is closed, and the stove at the door is cold, and it has been off for a few days.

Occasionally, there are some with open doors, most of which are similar to the inn they stayed in. The boss hired someone else to look after the shop. Most of them are young, stupefied boys, the kind who are unmarried and have no worries at home.

Although Yuyong County was not angry, the root of that lifelessness came from the fact that Wu Rongzhi, as the county magistrate, had turned into a local emperor, riding on the heads of the people in Yuyong County to do his best, so after his sudden death, Yuyong The city of Yong county immediately became full of jubilation, the people were happier than New Year's Eve, and they all spontaneously rushed to the streets to celebrate, and the whole county seemed to be resurrected.

But this Yiling County is another matter. If the source of the current depression here is traced, it is nothing more than the so-called evil spirits.

But this villain has a body, a name and a surname, it is easy to catch, and it is not difficult to deal with.

The so-called evil spirits are evil without a trace, without a name or surname.

Looking at the situation, we can see that most of the local people have already believed in those supernatural powers and gods. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to find out and beat the god-woman who took the lead in making trouble.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the gods who take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and fan the flames are grass, and those evil theories that have already caused panic among the local people are the roots. The grass is easy to cut, but the roots are hard to get rid of. Things, still treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and cannot fundamentally make this place peaceful again.

At that time, as soon as they left on the front foot, someone would appear on the back foot and continue to play tricks. I'm afraid that Yiling County will soon turn into a purgatory on earth again.

So in the final analysis, it is not to quickly deal with the chaos in front of us, but to find out the black hands behind the mess.

And this is easy to say, but it is another matter to do it, easier said than done!

A few of them walked around the county town, and on the way they saw a house with a white lantern hanging on the door. It was probably the one that robbed the child and killed them before, but they couldn't find out. People walking casually couldn't see it. The door of the house with the white lanterns was also closed, and it was quiet inside. It is estimated that they no longer live in it.

In this way, they didn't waste too much effort in the county town, and they went out of the city after a round trip. The gate out of the city deliberately went through the north gate that the young man advised them to avoid.

They walked out of the city from the north gate, and after walking for about an hour, they came to a village, which was also quiet. There were no peasant women chatting while washing clothes by the river, only the river was still flowing.

From a long distance, Mu Liuyun can see the cottages in the distance. According to the villages she has seen before when she was out of the city for business, she should be able to see the smoke from the cooking when she walks here. After all, it is noon, how can anyone not cook reason.

Also, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. After a few days of heavy rain, the sun is shining brightly today. It is such a warm and not too hot day. They should all be having fun outside!

But now looking at the village from a distance, you can see the outlines of the cottages through the woods, the river beside it is tinkling, and the birds in the forest are singing crisply.

A few people continued to walk into the village, and found that the situation in the village was no different from that in the county town, and the doors of every house were closed. Every time they walked by, except for the occasional dog in the yard noticed that there was a stranger outside, and suddenly cheered up. Apart from barking a few times, there is no sound of human activity, let alone talking.

After walking for a long time, they finally saw a white-haired old man in the yard of a family. When the old man saw several people riding horses approaching, he was shocked and immediately wanted to hide in the house.

Mu Liuyun quickly called out to him: "Old man! We are passers-by from other places, and we want to ask for a drink!"

The old man paused for a moment, but he didn't dare to turn his head, and he still focused on walking into the house.

It is estimated that he is really old and has limited mobility, otherwise, looking at that nervous look, anyone who is ten or eight years younger will probably have to run away by now.

"You old man, talk to you carefully, what are you hiding?!" Although Shen Yu's family opened a martial arts gym, the head coach Shen has always been strict with his apprentices, and the rules are very strict. People from the Shen family martial arts gym came She has never dared to show off her power and domineering outside, so she has never experienced the feeling of being shunned like a snake.

As soon as he heard a woman's voice, the old man finally stopped, turned his head suspiciously, stared at a pair of cloudy eyes and carefully looked at the few people who stopped outside the fence, especially Shen Xun.

Seeing that Shen Yu was dressed cleanly and beautifully, and was riding a horse with several other people without being tied up, the frightened expression on the old man's face dissipated a little, and he leaned cautiously towards the door.
