Chapter 13 013 Mawang Village (2)
Mawang Village is similar to Dapeng Village that we passed before. The entire village is surrounded by thick log walls. There are only four exit gates in the east, west, north and south, and there are watchtowers on both sides of each gate.
When Wang Wu ran to the village gate with Ma Chuo, the sentry on the watchtower also saw Wang Wu following Ma Chuo and his daughter.
But he didn't ask any questions and opened the door directly. Ma Chuo did not go in immediately, but stood at the door, raised his head and asked Xiang Yong on the watchtower:
"Is there someone dead in the village?"
"Yes, Brother Ma." The young man on the watchtower nodded towards Ma Chuo: "It happened last night. You went to Hexi County for business the day before yesterday. It was fine during the day yesterday, but at night, something happened to a family member. ”
"Whose family member died, and what happened specifically?" Ma Chuo asked again.
"The person who died was Widow Ma's house in the east of the village, and the person who died was Widow Ma's brother-in-law. But what exactly happened..." The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, "This... I don't know very well. You It’s better to go and see for yourself.”
"Okay."
Ma Chuo nodded, and then immediately ran towards the east direction of the village. Wang Wu followed him, and after observing the inside of a human village that he had never seen before, he followed Ma Chuo.
The area of this village is not small. The residential area of the village is surrounded by huge log walls. Each log is more than five meters high and very thick.
These log pillars are inserted deeply into the ground, and they are also connected in rows to strengthen the structure and support. The defensive power is very good.
As for the Xiangyong on the watchtower in the village, in addition to the crossbows in their hands, they were even equipped with short armor and waist knives. The Xiangyong on the watchtower of Dapeng Village that they passed before were also equipped in the same way.
It can be seen that the productivity of this ancient-style world is very good. The village warriors in a village are not only equipped with bows and crossbows, but they can even wear armor, and it is iron armor.
Although this armor may be useless against things like monsters, after all, they are monsters that have not transformed, that is, monsters. With their huge bodies and strength, they can directly beat the opponent to a pulp with both the person and the armor on.
Of course, the armor of the regular army is another story.
Mouse Lady had mentioned the term ‘iron horse’ when she told Wang Wu not to think about catching people for food. The so-called iron horse was a human heavy cavalry outfitted with armor and riding gear.
Of course, Mouse Lady herself hasn’t been in form for long, so she hasn’t seen this thing before, but Spider Lady has. Because the hilltop where she stayed before was wiped out by the human court. At that time, the human race dispatched their "iron horse".
The heavy cavalry that can move unimpeded in mountainous environments and can launch charges is terrifying just to think about it.
After entering the village and following Ma Chuo for a short distance, Wang Wu discovered that Mawang Village was quite big inside.
There are many houses in the village, more than one inn, and many people on the road. Compared with Guandao, where you might not encounter anyone even if you walk for half an hour outside, it is simply another world.
Wang Wu saw several carriages loaded with goods in the stables of the inn, as well as travelers sitting at the table at the entrance of the inn chatting and eating, as well as some country warriors patrolling the village.
They were wearing the same style of armor as the Xiang Yong on the watchtower, with sabers hanging on their waists, crossbows on their backs, and a long spear in their hands.
Wang Wu ran all the way behind Ma Chuo. Many people on the road focused on him, not only women but also men. And there are many people commenting on Wang Wu, most of them are commenting on Wang Wu's appearance.
Human beings in this world still look very normal. Just like in my hometown in the previous life, there are mostly ordinary-looking people, and both ugly and good-looking people are not that common.
However, the average height of people here is not low. In such a small village, most men are about the same height as Ma Ling's father Ma Chuo. He is over 1.7 meters tall. It is very common to have people around 1.75 meters tall. 1.8 meters There are also some men.
The height of women is generally around 1.6 meters, and there are some who are 1.7 meters tall, but those with the same height as Ma Ling are relatively rare. So far, apart from Ma Chuo's daughter Xiaoling, he has only seen one aunt who is over 1.75 meters tall. She is a little taller than Ma Ling, and is fatter. She is estimated to be close to 1.8 meters. .
The east end of the village was a bit far away from where Wang Wu and the others were, so the three of them ran for a while before they arrived.
When he arrived at the place where Xiangyong said at the entrance of the village, Wang Wu saw a body wrapped in white cloth lying quietly in front of a private house.
And around the corpse, there were already people surrounding it.
There are not only people from the village, but also some people from the outside world who are clearly dressed and dressed.
The two had swords on their backs and bells on their waists, which looked like they belonged to Taoist priests. There was also a middle-aged man in very gorgeous clothes, embroidered with patterns of flowers and birds.
Next to him were two people dressed as soldiers, wearing heavy black armor with protection from shoulders to arms. The legs are also covered with skirt armor, the armpits are wrapped with armpit protectors, and the feet are wearing iron boots.
Not only that, through the skirt armor on the lower body, Wang Wu also saw the chainmail they wore inside. The chainmail suit was very long and extended to the thighs.
Neither of the two soldiers-looking men were wearing helmets. They were kneeling on one knee in front of the corpse, lifting up the white cloth covering the corpse, observing and reporting something to the gorgeously dressed man.
"What's going on?"
Ma Chuo came to the group of people, looked at an old man wearing a linen gown inside, and asked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Brother Ma." The old man heard Ma Chuo's voice and turned to look at him. His face suddenly lit up, "You're back! Come on, come and have a look!"
As he spoke, the old man walked up to the corpse and lifted off the cloth that was covered with blood and was stained red by blood.
In an instant, a tattered corpse appeared in front of everyone.
There was no sound of gasping, after all, the people around here were not ordinary people.
The corpse was pieced together into a human shape. In fact, all the parts had been separated. The chest was chewed to pieces, there were many internal organs missing, the face was half eaten, and only bones were left in the hands and feet. With a little bit of meat.
"The village is infested with monsters!!"
The old man looked at the man's body on the ground and said to Ma Chuo next to him with a sad expression.
Ma Chuo said nothing, but walked to the body and squatted down, observing silently.
"This was not done by monsters."
At this time, after Wang Wu looked at the corpse on the ground for a while, he heard the old man's words and spoke.
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to him.
