Chapter 12 012 Mawang Village (1)
"This should be the silver transported by the caravan that the Wang family disappeared outside the Forest of Bones a few years ago." The middle-aged man said, no matter before or now, when talking to Wang Wu, his face has always been expressionless.
Then, he continued:
"I don't know how you found this money. You may not be afraid, but I still have a daughter. Besides, I have to go to Hedong County to earn a living on weekdays, but I can't get this money."
"Moreover." The middle-aged man pointed to Wang Wu's clothes again, "The clothes you are wearing have the mark of the Wang Family Caravan on them. These should be the clothes of the bodyguard of the Wang Family Caravan."
"I also worked for the Wang family for a period of time, and when the Wang family's caravan disappeared outside the county, I happened to be with the Wang family."
Having said this, the middle-aged man looked at Wang Wu:
"But the Wang family doesn't have people like you, and it's still unknown."
"Besides, your clothes smell like death. My nose is better than ordinary people, so I can smell that smell."
"That's right..." Wang Wu smiled, then nodded, "I did get the clothes and silver from the dead."
"It's over there." Wang Wu pointed to the Forest of Bones on the other side of the road, "I escaped from it. There is a corpse pit for monsters there, and the remains of the Wang family's caravan are in that pit. Inside.”
"And their boxes."
"At that time, there were two other people in the pit with me. They went to the pit to find the money from the Wang family's caravan that disappeared a few years ago."
"And I was caught there by a spider demon, ready to kill and eat."
Having said this, Wang Wu noticed that the middle-aged man was obviously listening much more seriously than before, and he did not seem to doubt his words.
After all, there was nothing wrong with his words, because if it hadn't been for those two people, Wang Wu might have really fed Spider Sanniang a meal when he got to the pit. After some lingering, the two sides parted reluctantly.
Therefore, it can be said that there is indeed nothing wrong with Wang Wu's explanation, and it does not contain any lies.
"Those two people had demon-killing stones in their hands, but they were still killed by the spider demon. I took the opportunity to snatch the demon-killing stone from the hand of one of the men with a scab on his face, and forced the spider demon back. ”
"Then he took the package of one of the two people, found a clothed corpse from the pit, and ran out."
"Why take clothes?"
After the story was told, the first person to speak was the middle-aged man's daughter. She asked curiously.
Wang Wu didn't answer, just glanced at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything, he just walked over and patted his daughter on the back.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to get to the bottom of this matter." He replied on Wang Wu's behalf. Of course he knew why Wang Wu didn't speak, so he cooperated.
"Are these clothes smelly?" After the middle-aged man answered his daughter's question for him, Wang Wu lowered his head and smelled the clothes on his body.
It doesn't taste that good, but it doesn't smell bad, right?
"It's true that most people can't smell it." The middle-aged man said, "But if you want to wear these clothes and enter Hedong County, you may run into some trouble."
"Then..." Wang Wugang was about to ask, but he immediately thought of a solution.
So he turned around and looked at the body on the ground.
The clothes of ancient people were generally very loose, so the clothes on these people should be able to be worn simply by taking them off.
Although the bodies of many people were in tatters, the clothes of those who were shot to death were not affected at all. So Wang Wu stepped forward and began to take off the clothes of those whose bodies were still intact.
After working with Wang Wu to deal with the six Dapeng Village youths who surrounded them, they also answered Wang Wu's questions. It stands to reason that the middle-aged people can leave directly.
But at this moment, he did not leave. Instead, he remained standing next to the package Wang Wu dropped on the ground. Seeing Wang Wu start to pull up the clothes of the person on the ground, he immediately understood what the other person wanted to do.
So he immediately patted his daughter and said, "Xiaoling, turn around."
"Ah?" The girl named Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, not understanding why her father would say that.
"Turn around if I ask you to." The middle-aged man said with a serious expression on his face.
"Oh..."
Seeing her father's serious tone, the girl turned around in cooperation.
After a while, Wang Wu, who had changed his clothes, patted his clothes and came to the middle-aged man.
"Brother, what do you think of me?"
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Wu's outfit, opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak, but finally fell silent.
"What happened?" Seeing the expression on the middle-aged man's face, Wang Wu was a little puzzled.
"Nothing." The middle-aged man shook his head, "In this case, you come here first." Wang Wu walked over very cooperatively.
"This is not how you wear it. Let me show you."
"Yes, like this. And this one, wear it like this, look at me, yes."
"And this one, yes, that's right, it's like this, the right gusset. The right gusset means the left hem is on the outside and the right is on the inside."
"Yes, that's it, that's all."

"Dad, what are you doing?"
Listening to the voice coming from behind, Xiaoling asked curiously.
"It's nothing." The middle-aged man replied, "Okay, you can come back now."
Xiaoling, who had been curious for a long time, immediately turned around impatiently after hearing her father's words.
Then, she was stunned again, and then her face started to turn red again.
Wang Wu's clothes were very plain and simple, and he did not change the shoes on his feet, because these young people were wearing straw sandals, and the shoes he found in the corpse pit were a pair of boots.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The boots don't matter because they are not uniform.
Simple and plain, they are the most common clothing for country youth. It's autumn now, so you need to wear thicker clothes.
The upper body is a gray linen short coat, the cuffs are tied with cloth strips, the lower body is a black crotch hakama, and a pair of leather soap boots are on the feet.
Because the dead man was still a little smaller than Wang Wu, the clothes were still a bit tight on Wang Wu, but they also highlighted his figure well.
With the waist of a wasp and the back of an ape, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, he is heroic and full of energy.
Monsters cannibalize people, are extremely cruel and wanton, but it has to be said that basically every transformed monster can be called a 'synonym for beauty'.
You can absolutely trust a monster's appearance, there's no doubt about it.
Wang Wu patted the dust on his clothes, and then he found that it was actually a little blood, but he didn't care.
With a long knife hanging on his waist and a backpack on his back, except for the fact that his hair is still in a ponytail, he basically looks like an ordinary human here.
"Okay, don't be stupid. We have to hurry up. Go back early. There are still some unfinished things at home." After slapping his daughter who was still in a daze, the middle-aged man nodded towards Wang Wu. "Your Excellency, we are leaving."
Wang Wu also raised his hand towards the middle-aged man, "Thank you very much for helping me. Apart from the money in this bag, I have nothing to repay you. I'm really ashamed."
The group of people set out on the road again. Although they continued to move forward, except for the middle-aged daughter Xiaoling who glanced furtively at Wang Wu from time to time, there was no communication.
The three of them passed the first village on the roadside. The guards on the sentry tower in the village did not realize what was happening eight kilometers away, and ordinary people could not see that far.
However, when passing by the village, Wang Wu still noticed the hostile looks of the sentinels on the sentry towers in the village.
But those people didn't do anything. Although the crossbows in their hands were aiming, they didn't release the arrows. This made Wang Wu a little confused.
It wasn't until the three of them were completely away from the village that Wang Wu curiously asked:
"Did they find out?"
"No." The middle-aged man shook his head, "It's just that the relationship between our two villages is very bad, and there were deaths in the past two years."
"The village we live in is just ahead." At this time, the middle-aged man's daughter Xiaoling also interjected: "Brother Wu can find a place to rest in our village tonight, but Hedong County is still a long way away. .”
"Is that okay?" Wang Wu looked at Brother Ma.
"Of course." Brother Ma nodded, "We in the villages on the roadside also rely on this for food. There are inns in the villages. As for Wang Shaoxia, you'd better not miss out on your wealth. Use the money you get from those green skins. That’s enough.”
"Thank you." Wang Wu thanked him.
"You're welcome."
After passing Dapeng Village and walking for almost an hour, the three of them arrived not far from a new village. This is where the middle-aged man Ma Chuo and his daughter Ma Ling live.
"This is Mawang Village." Ma Chuo's daughter introduced Wang Wu very enthusiastically: "Our Mawang Village..."
"Wait, where does the smell of blood come from?"
However, before she could finish her words, Wang Wu interrupted him. And not just him, at the same time Wang Wu said this, Ma Ling's father also said the same thing:
"Something happened in the village!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, and the two looked at each other. Immediately afterwards, Ma Chuo immediately ran towards the village, with Wang Wu and Ma Chuo's daughter following closely behind.
