Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

After that, they stayed in the inn for another night and left Huashi Town on the morning of the third day.

They entered the county town again, not so much to monitor those people nearby, but because the inns in the town were really uncomfortable to live in.

Because it is close to the county seat, there are very few people staying in the town, which makes them very special. It feels like everyone is paying attention to them until the second day of their stay.

So I simply went directly to the county town and stayed in a medium-sized inn in the county town.

The official who had been chasing them had returned a long time ago, and of course he reported what they knew. After all, it was a clue.

It's just that the higher-ups obviously didn't pay attention to it, so they weren't wanted or anything like that.

After they left Huashi Town, they remodeled their rooms and moved into an inn. This time Qingyan still looked like a teenager, and Chou Chou and Jin Yang also turned into young people.

It's just that they made their looks more common, so that people can't remember them after seeing them, so they can hide themselves better.

After that, they pretended to go out to find relatives every day, but in fact they walked around the county town. Not only did they go near the yard, but they also went out of the county town to visit the village.

Although you can monitor them with your spiritual sense, if you want to find out something, you still have to go there in person.

They deliberately asked about a family in the village that they had heard the villagers talk about before and had moved away, and then asked for information about that family.

Because the situation of the family that moved away is somewhat similar to that of the family with authentic properties. They both came from other places before. They said that their hometown was hit by a disaster and they fled here and wanted to settle here.

The time when the two families settled down was not far apart. After all, years of famine cannot always happen. The two families were only two months apart. Qingyan and the others felt that the two families were probably the same family.

Just to hide it from others, the two families did not have close contacts, as if they had not known each other before.

But judging from what the villagers said about some of the living habits of the two families, there are many similarities.

If you don't intermarry with the villagers, the villagers will help you when something happens, but they will never take the initiative to make friends. If someone comes to visit their home, they will never bring them into the house, and they will only talk to them in the yard, etc.

Although these can't explain anything, they can still tell their differences to a certain extent.

In addition, from the descriptions of the villagers, the two families have some similarities in appearance. Of course, it is not that they look alike, but that their appearance and facial features are somewhat similar.

For example, they have high cheekbones and dark skin, and the men in the family are all a bit short, but they are very strong. They are among the best at farm work in the village, etc.

These appearance characteristics are not common in men. Although they are shorter, they are more popular because they are strong and good at work. At least it is advantageous to ask them to help or go out to work or something.

But if this appears on a woman, it would indeed be a bit unsightly. If the cheekbones are too high, the woman will look a bit mean. Plus, with dark skin and short stature, she is really unattractive.

At least in the village, they do not intermarry with others, and the village does not find them strange. They only think that they are not good-looking, and neither the boys nor the girls in the village look down on them.

And because the two families were not closely related, they each had children, but there was no same-sex marriage, and no one found it strange.

Qingyan felt that they might not only be in the same group, but might actually be related. Although it was not uncommon for cousins ​​to marry cousins ​​in ancient times, cousins ​​or those with the same surname would not get married.

So Qingyan thought that they might be relatives with the same surname, so they didn't intermarry with each other. Otherwise, both sides would have children of the same age. Wouldn't it be more convenient to hide in hiding? There is no need to pretend to be strangers. .

Of course, it's also possible that his guess was wrong. Maybe they really weren't familiar with each other, or maybe they really despised each other. Even if they were in the same group, they didn't want to sacrifice their own happiness.

But this would give the villagers an opportunity to gossip. If the previous family had not moved away, their daughter would have been twenty years old this year. In ancient times, many twenty-year-olds would have given birth to two or three children.

Even if it's a man, if he doesn't get married at the age of twenty, someone will talk about it, let alone a woman. Therefore, the reason why the family moved away is probably related to the fact that their daughter is not getting married when she is older.

They may be the kind of ethnic group that does not intermarry with foreigners, so they would rather not marry than intermarry with others.

The younger member of the family left behind is a son, who is just fifteen years old this year. It doesn't matter if he doesn't get married. He can survive at least two or three years.

But if this happens, they will probably move out soon.

They approached the villagers in the name of looking for that family to inquire about things, and they did not come unprepared. They changed their appearance, especially Chou Chou and Jin Yang, and directly changed their appearance to look similar to them.

Of course, they don't know how similar they are. They just transformed according to the appearance described by the villagers when they gossiped.

They should be very similar, because when the villagers heard that they asked about that family, they immediately asked if they were relatives. They looked quite similar, which meant that the appearance test must have been passed.

Furthermore, they also wanted to see if they could get the other party to come over on their own initiative. If the other party was with that family, and they heard someone coming to see that family, they would definitely come over to see what was going on.

If those people are no longer here, then they will definitely come over to take a look, and they can directly charm the other party and ask some things.

Before, they thought of going directly to those people's homes to charm them and ask them questions, but then they thought about it and realized that this might not be a good idea.

If the other party takes the initiative to come over, it is definitely impossible for the whole family to go out together, and the person who takes the initiative must be someone who knows some inside information. In this case, it will be easier for them to act.

Otherwise, if you go to other people's homes and you don't know how much each person knows, you can't just be confused about them all. You can ask them one by one. This is troublesome enough.

As for the three fake beggars, they haven't made any move yet, because the other party hasn't made any move either.

Moreover, the inspections in the city were not as strict as the previous two days. After all, if the murderer was there, he should still be there. If he had escaped, he would have gone far away. It was not necessary in a martial law county.

Although the Xia family master was a member of the Communist Party of China, his status was not low, and the murder of a family member was a big case, but it was not enough for the entire county to do nothing and just focus on it.

Moreover, the Xia family is obviously not as good as the family in Yuquan County, and there are other relatives of the main family. This Xia family seems to be the main family, which was directly wiped out. There are relatives who are also distant branches.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t received the news yet, or because I’m not close enough and don’t want to take care of this matter, so no one is here to help with the overall situation. At least until now, no one has come to take over the Xia family's closed shops and Xia family's property.

Although those shops are closed and there are no goods inside, there are so many private properties and such a big house, and those storefronts are also very valuable.

Even if you don't want to get involved in trouble, such a large amount of money will be tempting.

If there are still people in this family, or if there are close relatives, they will definitely not let such a large amount of property slip away from their hands in vain.

Unexpectedly, it has been several days, and no one has come, and they have not found any government officials leaving the city to report the news. Therefore, if this happens, the Xia family's case will most likely become a mystery in the end.

In the end, no one will pay attention to it, and it is not certain whether the case can be solved.

After asking the villagers that day, they returned to the inn in the county town and "accidentally" disclosed the address to the villagers.

Of course, he said it deliberately, saying that they would stay in the county for two days. If they knew where the family had moved, they could go and tell them, and they would also thank them.

The people in the village also agreed and would help them find out. This time they were wearing slightly better clothes than before. Although they didn't look like they came from a wealthy family, they looked like they had a small amount of assets. If anyone knew about those people , if you can help them find out, you will feel that the thank you gift you get should not be too thin.

So many of the villagers happily agreed. After Qingyan and the others returned to the inn, they settled down peacefully, waiting for the other party to be able to make no move.

There was nothing unusual on the first night, and their consciousness was always paying attention to the three people in the city and the family in the village.

And that family must have known about their existence, because when they inquired, they went to several places where many villagers gathered, as well as near their home.

The two families didn't live very far apart before. There was only a street and a few houses between them. It was normal for them to ask where they were going.

After the family moved away, their yard was sold to another family in the village. That family spent money to buy it for their son who had just separated.

Qingyan and the others went to that house specifically to inquire. After all, they bought each other's house and would always communicate with each other. Maybe they could find out where the other person was going while chatting.

Of course, the other party didn't know about it. They only knew that a relative in their hometown had become prosperous. He went back to build the family's ancestral hall and also studied ethnic studies for his hometown. Children in the tribe and the village could attend school for free.

For this reason, many people who moved to other places returned to their ancestral homeland.

This reason is quite good, and people can't find anything wrong with it.

As for where the family's land is, they haven't said anything. They don't have a good relationship when buying someone else's house, and it's hard to find out more about it, so it's normal for the family not to know the specific information.

However, those people didn't do anything that day, and they didn't get together to discuss anything. They worked, ate, and slept. The first night passed so uneventfully.

During the day the next day, they walked around the city again. The main streets in the city were all Xia's shops, so they were still closed, but the shops on other streets were still open.

It's just that those shops are not on the main street, nor are they on some major streets. They are mostly temporary stalls in small alleys or in the market in the south.

Just like the inn they are staying in now, it is in the south of the county where they enter the city gate. Most of the people who live here are people who have traveled a long way to set up stalls. If they can't go back in time, they can spend the night here.

Therefore, once the Xia family's shop closed, it felt as if the entire county's economy was paralyzed. In fact, there were other businessmen, but they were suppressed very hard by the Xia family's shop before, making them invisible.

Therefore, the Xia family has offended a lot of people. At least because of their monopoly on the county economy, they must be hated by many people, and they are also a fat sheep in the eyes of many people.

The few of them walked around the city and only bought some small things in Nancheng. They also bought some food and pretended to use it on the road. It made people feel as if they were leaving, just to give the other party a sense of urgency. So as to force the other party to take action quickly.

Then they waited until night again, and did not go back to the space to eat in the inn room. Their spiritual consciousness was still monitoring both sides in real time.

Waiting until after ten o'clock in the evening, there was movement in the family in the village. The oldest man in the family got up from the bed and went directly to the woodshed in the backyard.

Then just when they thought the man was about to enter the city from the tunnel, the man only opened a small wooden board, which was only as big as a mouse hole.

Then he bent down and put a mouse inside, no! The body seems to be a little bigger than a mouse, and the tail is thicker. If you look closely, you can see that it is a small black mink!

The old man put the sable into the tunnel and went back to his room to sleep.

Qingyan and the other three kept staring at the marten with their spiritual consciousness, and the little guy jumped all the way down the tunnel.

Even though it was a little tall, it was very fast. It ran under the abandoned yard in less than twenty minutes.

Then I saw the little marten grabbing a stone with its claws, and then knocking on a wooden board at the tunnel exit.

It was not an ordinary knock, but a rhythmic beat of three short and one long. Then one of the taller ones among the three "beggars" stood up when he heard the sound and walked directly to the tunnel entrance.

Then he also opened a wooden board, revealing a small hole, and the little sable got right out.

Because it is winter, even though they are pretending to be beggars, they still have warmth.

Although they can't have luxurious beds or anything like that, they can still burn a brazier in the middle of the room, so the room is still very bright under the light of the charcoal brazier.

The little sable jumped directly onto the man. The man held the little sable and sat by the fire pit, and then took out a small leather bag from under its belly.

The leather bag was the same color as the mink's fur. Qingyan and the others didn't notice it before. They didn't know how it could run so fast before, and they didn't feel uncomfortable.
