Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child Chapter 229

   Chapter 229 Strange Things

   They drove another two hours and finally saw the village that Lu Yao mentioned.

   But when their carriage entered the village, they found that the village was too quiet.

   Not only was there no human voice in the village, but there were also no sounds of chickens, ducks, pigs and geese.

   It was as if the whole village was empty.

   This is so weird!

   Yu Weiwei and his group all got off the carriage.

   They picked a random house and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

   Angelica pushed the courtyard door open with a little force.

   She turned her head and said to Yu Wei.

   "Sister, this door is not locked."

  Yu Weiwei: "Go in and have a look."

   They pushed open the courtyard door, walked in and took a look, and found that the yard was already overgrown with weeds, the doors and windows of the house were broken, the ground was covered with dust, and the furniture was dilapidated.

   One can see that no one has lived here for a long time.

   Afterwards, they went to other people's houses in the village and found that the whole village was empty and no one went anywhere.

  Lu Yao frowned: "How could this happen? Obviously, I passed by this village the year I left home. At that time, there were many people living in the village, how could they all disappear? What happened?"

   Angelica remembered what the shopkeeper of the guest house said and guessed.

   "Will robbers enter the village and take everyone away?"

  Yu Shao shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Although the things in the house are dilapidated, there is no trace of man-made damage, indicating that the villagers left by themselves."

   Angelica does not understand.

   "Well done, why did the villagers leave here?"

   No one present could give an answer.

  Although there is nothing in this village, at least there are houses that can shelter from the wind and rain. They chose a relatively intact house and plan to make do with it for the night, and then continue their journey in the morning.

   The expected local specialties are gone, and they have to continue to eat dry food tonight.

  Lu Yao said suddenly looking at Angelica's gloomy look.

   "I still have some beef jerky in my car, would you like to try it?"

   Angelica responded quickly and replied hastily: "Okay, okay!"

   Seeing her eager expression, it seemed that she was afraid that the other party would go back on it.

  Lu Yao smiled and ordered the little book boy to fetch the beef jerky.

  With the blessing of beef jerky, the steamed buns that were originally dry suddenly became much more delicious.

   Angelica eats with relish, with a happy smile on his face.

   Seeing this, the smile on Lu Yao's face also deepened.

  After eating, everyone found a place to sleep and rest.

   Only Luo Pingsha didn't sleep.

   He always felt that this place was weird, and to avoid accidents, someone had to keep watch.

   The night passed peacefully.

   The next morning, they continued on their way.

  When the carriage passed near the farmland, Yu Weiwei saw that the fields were all empty, not even a single crop.

   There was no one to serve you for a long time, and the fields were overgrown with weeds, and it looked barren as far as the eye could see.

  Lu Yao also saw this scene.

   He couldn't help frowning, he had only gone on a study tour for five years, why did Liaodong County change?

   What happened in Liaodong County in the past five years?

   He secretly made a decision, and when he entered the county seat, he must ask the local magistrate to clarify.

  The surrounding scenery gradually changes, and the mountains and forests become more and more.

  Danggui looked at it for a long time, and felt that there was nothing new, so he and Yu Weiwei closed their eyes and dozed off.

  The two were sleeping in a daze when the carriage suddenly stopped.

   Immediately remembered Luo Pingsha's scolding.

   "What are you doing?"

   Yu and Angelica woke up at once.

   They hurriedly asked what happened?

  Luo Pingsha's voice came into the car: "Someone robbed the road ahead."

  Yu Weiwei and Angelica were both surprised.

   Actually let them meet rogues!

   They didn't have time to think about it, they hurriedly took out their self-defense weapons and prepared to fight to the death with the group of rogues.

   However, when they jumped out of the carriage and saw the rogues with their own eyes, they were stunned.

   The road ahead was blocked by a sturdy tree lying on the side.

   There were more than ten people standing behind the trees, men, women and children.

   They were all ragged, scrawny, with empty eyes, and the only weapon in their hands was a stick.

   At this time, Lu Yao and Xiaoshutong also got out of the car.

   They also had weapons in their hands, and they had already prepared for the worst in their hearts, but they didn't expect to see such a scene in front of them.

  Yu Weiwei couldn't believe it: "These people are rogues?"

   Obviously more like a refugee, okay? !

  Luo Pingsha was also a little hesitant: "It should be, otherwise what would they do by blocking our way?"

  Lu Yao stepped forward and asked with a local accent.

   "Excuse me, what are you doing?"

   A tall, thin young man walked out of the group.

   He is different from everyone else.

   Others can only hold wooden sticks in their hands, only he has an axe in his hand.

   He stared at the tree with the axe, with a deliberately ferocious expression on his face.

   "This area is our territory. If you want to pass from here, you have to leave a toll!"

  Lu Yao asked how much they wanted?

  The young man's eyes swiveled around them.

   Even if the young people have little knowledge, they can see that these people are very well-dressed and very fair-looking, and they are rich at a glance.

   So the young man said without thinking.

   "I want all your money and food!"

  Lu Yao originally thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing. Giving some money would be regarded as breaking the wealth and eliminating the disaster.

  If they handed over the money and food, how will they survive along the way?

  Lu Yao said solemnly, "I'll give you one hundred taels. As long as you take the money and leave, I can pretend that what happened today never happened."

   When those rogues heard that there were a hundred taels, their eyes suddenly lit up.

   They whispered, they had never seen so much money in their lives!

   The young man raised his hand to signal everyone not to speak.

   He stared at Lu Yao and said.

   "Don't bargain with me, I want all the money and food on your body. If you don't agree, you won't even think about going through here today!"

  One hundred taels of silver sounds like a lot, but with so many of them, they have to eat, see a doctor and get medicine, and it doesn't take long at all.

  Lu Yao sighed lightly when he saw that the other party was unwilling to compromise.

   "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

   After he finished speaking, he took out the sword from his waist.

   Although he is a scholar, he has also learned the six arts of a gentleman, and he has also learned swordsmanship from a famous teacher for a period of time, and no matter what his strength is, at least his posture looks very bluffing.

   Those rogues were all startled by the sharp sword in his hand, and their faces showed fear.

   Only the young man with the axe had no fear.

   He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that you guys are going to fight with us."

   As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow came out of the air, and hit the tree right in front of him.

The    arrow plunged deep into the wood, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking slightly.

  Young people are really intimidated all of a sudden.

   He looked up and saw Yu curling with a bow and arrow.

   Yu Weiwei asked word by word.

   "Are you sure you want to fight with us?"

   Ask for a ticket~~
