Dahn sniffed, but still obeyed the captain's order seriously: "Then when do we leave?"
Willy thought for a moment: "Tomorrow morning, we will leave for Stone Village."
"Okay, Captain."
After another brief exchange with Willy, Dahn walked out of Willy's office. He hurried to the case office, preparing to learn all about the lost poultry case.
……
South of Diamond Town, Stone Village.
In order not to blink too much, Willy and Dan just wore the uniforms of the guards and rode to Stone Village.
Before the two of them entered the village, they saw a young man with a basket on his back walking towards them. He was thin, with pot ashes on his face, and patches on his old padded jacket. He seemed to live a very hard life.
"Two adults, are you going to Stone Village?"
Willy and Dahn didn't want to pay attention to this young man, but they saw that the young man actually greeted them.
You must know that in this era, the commoners, especially the villagers in the countryside, should be afraid of their noble minions. If it is not something to report, it is impossible to take the initiative to say hello.
So Willy was somewhat surprised by the young man's active greeting.
"Yes, we are indeed going to Stone Village. Are you from Stone Village?"
Willie took the reins, and Dahn stopped as well.
"Yes, my lord, I'm from Stone Village..." The boy didn't mean to be timid at all, "No, I can only be regarded as half of Stone Village. My father used to be a villager of Stone Village, but he was lonely when he was young. One person, ugly and sloppy, can't find a wife, can only find a refugee woman outside to start a family, uh, she is my mother..."
The teenager started chattering mode off guard, he didn't care about the blank expressions on Willy and Dahn's faces, and continued: "The two of them gave birth to me later, and I grew up slowly... Speaking of which, I must say In a word, my childhood was really painful, every time I think about it, I..."
"Wait a moment."
Willy hurriedly stopped the young man from continuing to talk. He and Dahn were confused just now, and they never thought that they would meet a young villager randomly and stop the road and start chatting for the two of them. As the upstarts of Diamond Town, how many businessmen and officials thought it would be difficult to get a few words with them, and at this moment they became the audience of this country boy, which was a bit absurd.
"What's the matter, my lord..." The young man looked at Willy's increasingly serious face, and tried to stop his rambling, "I know, I'm too rambunctious, I'm sorry sir, I just haven't talked to anyone for too long, I …”
"Do you know where Lauker's house is?"
Willy spoke directly, interrupting the boy's words.
After coming to this world, this young man was the strangest guy he had ever seen. That is to say, he has a better temper. If someone else, such as Morion, will definitely beat him to half death.
"Uncle Lauker, of course I know that he is a fickle and timid person who often likes to argue with people..."
Seeing the murderous look in Willy and Dan's eyes, the young man pursed his lips: "Okay, let me take the two of you to the far east of his home in Stone Village."
Willy thought about it for a while, but agreed to the boy's assistance, which would save some time asking for directions.
"You're welcome, I'm an enthusiastic person..."
"When you lead the way, could you please shut up?"
Dahn's expression was already quite bad. He was clenching the cross sword in his palm, and it seemed that he was about to pull it out and slash at the boy at any moment.
"Uh..." The young man also knew that he might suffer if he continued talking, so he quickly added, "By the way, my name is Colson, alright, I'll shut up from now on."
Willie and Dahn seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
Led by Colson, Willy and Dahn made their way through the village.
When walking in the village, several people also encountered several villagers. But after seeing themselves and Dahn, the villagers subconsciously did not dare to move forward. During this period, Willy noticed the changes in the expressions of these villagers. Most of them looked at him and Dahn with awe. When they looked at Colson, they turned into extreme rejection and disgust.
And Colson didn't seem to notice at all, and still enthusiastically called out everyone's name and greeted them. Of course, no one responded.
Willy sat on the horse and watched all this. He narrowed his eyes slightly, but said nothing.
After about ten minutes, Colson took Willy and Dahn to a yard where the walls were peeling off.
"It's here, Uncle Lauker's house is here."
Colson turned to Willy and said.
Willie nodded and dismounted with Dahn, but before he entered the yard, he heard the voice of a man yelling in the yard~www.novel35.com~ What I said was true, I didn't deceive you! Why don't you believe me? "
Lauker felt like he was going crazy.
Just one night a year ago, he saw the chickens and ducks wake up at the same time, without making a sound, and left the yard in an orderly manner under the tragic moonlight. The dark picture made him remember it clearly now.
He then went to Diamond Town to report the case, but the investigation did not yield any results. Not only that, but his strange remarks aroused the resentment of neighbors and family members, and everyone thought Lauker was crazy. Some people even said that he found the thief when he was standing guard in the middle of the night, but he was too timid to stop him, so he could only make up lies to cover up his timidity.
Laukel, who heard these rumors, was angry and sad. It was obvious that what he said was true, but no one believed it. Instead, they accused him of being cowardly. No one can stand this kind of grievance.
But the indifference of the people around finally made Lauker choose to give in. He could only seal up the memory of that night, implying that it was just a dream.
Originally, everything was over, but last night, when Lauker got up in the middle of the night to take a nap because he drank too much, he saw this scene again.
At that time, Lauker was sobered up in an instant. He gritted his teeth and decided to go out and follow the chickens and ducks to find out, but when he just walked out of the room, he saw all the chickens and ducks stop at the same time, like puppets being manipulated The same mechanical turn.
Looking back on that scene now, Lauker also felt terrified. Pairs of blank eyes stared at him, without making any sound, their movements were strange and unanimous.
After all, Lauker was frightened and could only watch them escape from his yard again.
