Tiger G's? "Chen Qiusheng's mind moved as he analyzed.
"Yes, that's possible. If it was a bear or tiger G's, then it would explain why there was money and food in the empty houses. However, even if it was a bear or a tiger, it wouldn't be able to bite an entire village to death!" The curly-bearded man thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty.
"If it wasn't a bear or tiger G's, then who was G's? You can't say it was ghost G's! "The green-clothed man curled his lips and said in a joking tone.
"Ghost? Haha, I didn't expect that as a scholar, Young Master Tang would actually believe in ghosts and gods. There are no such things as ghosts and demons in this world. Ghosts and demons are all made up by storytellers to fool people. The Old Man doesn't believe in such things. "The curly-bearded man laughed and said indifferently.
Hearing the three people's words, Wang Changsheng chuckled and turned to walk out.
Wang Changsheng walked into the J courtyard and found that the curly-bearded man was right. The empty houses had pots and pans and there was a lot of food. However, there wasn't a single person, not even a corpse. However, he could see a lot of duck and goose corpses.
Suddenly, Wang Changsheng's brows furrowed. Following Wang Changsheng's gaze, he could see a simple and crude pigsty. A large T-shaped pig was lying motionless in the pigsty, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of rotting flesh.
Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, pinched his nose, and walked over.
The closer he got to the pigsty, the stronger the rotten smell. Wang Changsheng endured the nausea and walked closer to take a look. He found that there were two finger-sized bloody holes on the pig's neck. It seemed like it was bitten by something. Other than these two bloody holes, there were no other injuries on the pig's body. It was obvious that this pig was bitten to death by something. As for what it was, he didn't know.
However, one thing was certain. This thing was definitely not a black bear or tiger. Wild beasts killed their prey to eat the meat. How could they not eat such a big fat pig?
After Wang Changsheng walked through the J empty houses, he returned to the courtyard where he found the boy.
At this time, the purple-clothed young woman and the others were sitting together and chatting. They also raised a pile of firewood to drive away the cold.
"Brother Changsheng, you came back at the right time. It's time for dinner." Chen Qiusheng smiled at Wang Changsheng.
"Hmm, what are you talking about? Why are you so happy? "Wang Changsheng nodded. He sat down beside the firewood and asked casually.
"Nothing much, just a casual chat. By the way, Brother Changsheng, there is only one bed in this room. I'm afraid that the five of us won't be able to sleep in it. Wen Xuan and I plan to sleep in the room next door. There are two beds in that room. Do you want to come over?" The blue-robed man looked at Wang Changsheng expectantly.
"Since there are two beds in the room next door, the five of us can sleep in the room next door. There's no need to sleep in two separate rooms," Wang Changsheng shook his head and said lightly.
"But the room next door has a big bed and a small bed. It can fit three people, but it can't fit five people. It's dark now, so it's hard to find a room with a big bed. Besides, it's just next door. It's not far away. It's just a wall away, so we can take care of each other if something happens," the blue-robed man said slowly.
"Brother Wen Cai, you just said that the villagers might have been caught by a bear or a tiger. If a tiger or a bear breaks into one of the rooms in the middle of the night, no matter how close the room is, I'm afraid it won't be of any help when other people arrive. Of course, if Escort Liu is willing to send two escorts to protect us, it might be fine. "
"Escort Liu …" The man in cyan shifted his sight to Qiu Xu, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Qiu Xu, who had a long beard.
"Miss Zhao is our employer. We're only responsible for protecting Miss Zhao and Qiu Xu. The others are not within our scope of protection."
Hearing this, the blue-robed man looked a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything else.
"Escort Chief Liu, there are seven of you, so it wouldn't hurt to send two escorts to protect the five young masters. Young Master Chen and the others are High Scholars on their way to the capital to take the imperial examinations. Who knows, they might even become the next County Magistrate or Prefectural Governor. If you send two escorts to protect them, they will definitely remember the kindness of your Zhenyuan Escort Agency when they become high ranking officials in the future. Young Master Chen, don't you think so?" The young woman in purple glanced at Wang Changsheng and spoke word by word.
"Yes, you're right," the blue-robed man and the others agreed.
"Since Miss Zhao has spoken, alright! Song Wu, Li Gao, you two guard one room each and protect the four young masters for the night, "the bearded man thought for a while and nodded. He then ordered the two escorts beside him.
"Yes, Escort Liu," the two escorts answered.
After dinner, the young woman in purple and the others left one by one.
Wang Changsheng chose to stay in the same room as Chen Qiusheng. Escort Li was responsible for protecting them, while Escort Song was responsible for protecting the blue-robed man and the blue-robed man.
Because the bed was a little small, it couldn't fit four people. Escort Li held a lantern and brought two mats and two blankets from the other empty rooms to make a bed on the floor.
Chen Qiusheng and the scholarly youth didn't immediately go to sleep. Instead, they lit a candle and began to study in the night.
Perhaps it was because the two of them were reading rather loudly that G disturbed Escort Li's rest. He greeted the three of them and moved to the kitchen next door.
"Cough cough, I'm sorry, Brother Changsheng. I've disturbed your rest. How about you also move to the kitchen to rest? We still need to study for a while. Don't worry, we'll close the doors and windows. If anything happens, we'll shout for you, "Chen Qiusheng said with some embarrassment.
"It's fine. You guys just focus on studying. Don't worry about me," Wang Changsheng shook his head and said without a care.
"Brother Han Ming, let's keep our voices down!" Chen Qiusheng nodded and said to the scholarly youth.
"Yes, that's right. I heard that the imperial court is holding a martial arts examination this year. It's said that it's to select talents with high martial arts. Brother Changsheng's martial arts are high. Why don't you participate in the martial arts examination and serve the imperial court with us?" The scholarly youth seemed to have thought of something and asked with interest.
"I have no intention of becoming an official and have no intention of participating in the martial arts examination. Alright, you guys go study! Don't worry about me, I'll go out for a walk. "After saying this, Wang Changsheng walked out.
At this time, the sky was completely dark. It was so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers. However, this didn't affect Wang Changsheng. He used the Divine Light Technique and could see everything clearly.
Wang Changsheng released his divine sense and swept through the entire village. He didn't find anything abnormal, which made him feel relieved.
When he passed by the three people's courtyard, Wang Changsheng saw that the room was brightly lit. From time to time, he could hear the sound of people reading aloud. It was obvious that the two people were also reviewing their homework.
Escort Song, who was in charge of protecting the two people, lived in the kitchen. From time to time, he couldn't stand the sound of the two people reading.
Wang Changsheng continued to walk forward and arrived at the courtyard where the young woman in purple lived.
"Who is it?" A rough voice suddenly sounded. In the next moment, the large man with the curly beard and two escorts jumped out. When he saw Wang Changsheng, the large man's expression relaxed.
"It's me, Escort Liu. Don't be nervous," Wang Changsheng said indifferently.
"So it's Young Master Wang. It's the middle of the night. Why isn't Young Master Wang resting in the room? Why are you running around?" The large man frowned.
