Chapter 1824 Go straight there
Chen Changli was thinking about what happened last night, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, we will leave here after breakfast."
Seeing his serious expression, Wan Shufang knew that he was not at peace, so she immediately washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast.
During this time, she and Chen Changli carefully observed everyone and saw that they looked normal, as if they had not heard anything that happened yesterday. The couple couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Wan Shufang thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you hear any sound yesterday?"
"What's that sound? We didn't hear anything." When they heard her question, some people reacted violently.
Wan Shufang glanced at him and saw that he was eating with his head down. It seemed that he answered her question unintentionally, but he did not react much.
She couldn't help feeling a little uneasy and wanted to ask another question, but Chen Changli shook his head at her, signaling her not to ask in order not to irritate others.
Wan Shufang understood what he meant, so she collected her thoughts and just lowered her head to eat.
After the meal and paying the bill, the couple left.
Walking onto the street which was bustling yesterday, Wan Shufang was surprised to find that there was no one on the street, not even any stalls, as if the bustle she saw last night was just an illusion.
"It's too quiet." Wan Shufang said a little uneasily.
Chen Changli thought about it and said, "Maybe it's still early. After all, this is just a small town. Apart from the market, not many people come here."
The voice paused and continued, "We were lucky. Yesterday was their market day."
Although this explanation makes sense, Wan Shufang still feels uneasy.
However, they thought about the fact that they had not seen any villages along the way. It made sense that the town was only lively at night because the townspeople had to go out to do farm work during the day.
"Let's leave quickly, and then have His Majesty send someone here to check the situation. If their lives are too difficult, we can find a way to alleviate their poverty and improve their living environment."
Wan Shufang tried hard to suppress her worries and urged Chen Changli. The couple hurried on their way, and as soon as they arrived at the town gate, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Seeing that they were coming with such a fierce momentum, as if they were coming for their lives, Chen Changli immediately protected Wan Shufang behind him and asked, "Who sent you?"
He suspected that their identities were exposed, which attracted this group of people.
But how could they arouse suspicion when they did nothing except delivering a letter?
Are the tentacles of those people so long? There are people even in such a remote town.
Or maybe they had been staying in this town from the beginning, always waiting for the rebels' orders, and the couple just broke in accidentally and exposed their identities.
Various thoughts were swirling in his mind, but no matter which one it was, Chen Changli felt very bad.
"Go to hell and ask the King of Hell." The man did not answer Chen Changli, but raised his knife and chopped at him.
Chen Changli quickly fought back, and after fighting for a while, he found that their moves were very messy. They did not look like well-trained spies, but rather like bandits who hurriedly picked up knives and started hacking around.
Chen Changli's brainstorming lasted for a while, and then he said in a firm tone: "Are you suspicious of us because of what happened yesterday?"
"You really found out. Humph, I wanted to let you have an intact body, but now it seems I have to cut you into pieces to keep the secret." Upon hearing his affirmative words, several people became so angry that their eyes turned red and their moves became messy.
"So you want to silence the witnesses." Wan Shufang laughed angrily after hearing what they said. "How could we possibly know what happened yesterday? Instead of doubting us, you should reflect on yourselves."
I don’t know what evil things he had done to make him feel so guilty. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have asked that question.
Wan Shufang felt a little regretful, but Chen Changli did not. Instead, he protected her while observing the moves of these people.
He found that it was really chaotic, as if ordinary people were forced into a desperate situation and had to find a way to survive. Chen Changli's mood suddenly became complicated.
"You are the people living in this town, right?" Chen Changli asked.
"Stop talking nonsense." Upon hearing this, the men attacked even more violently.
Chen Changli was at ease: "What happened yesterday? Why did you have to kill people to silence them? My husband and I are outsiders. We will never come back after we leave here. Why did you kill us?"
"To be honest, killing us would be more trouble than it's worth, because our families are waiting for us to return and reunite. If you kill us, it will only attract them to come here to investigate."
Since they refused to listen, it seemed that if he couldn't kill them to silence them, he would die together with them.
After hearing what Chen Changli said, Wan Shufang guessed what he was thinking and quickly used her mind to search in the hospital space.
She quickly found a packet of medicine powder, took it out and quickly sprinkled it on the people.
After they were knocked unconscious, Wan Shufang went forward to check their hands and found that they were full of calluses. She felt very heavy, "Their lives must be very unhappy, otherwise the calluses on their hands would not be so heavy."
"I don't know what happened yesterday that made them so extreme." Chen Changli felt very complicated after hearing this.
Wan Shufang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the inn and ask the waiter about the situation."
"He may not tell me." Chen Changli was not optimistic. "The most important thing is that the waiter may be in cahoots with them."
"We have to give it a try." Wan Shufang frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.
Chen Changli felt very distressed and immediately said, "Why don't you hide in the hospital space? I'll go find the waiter."
"I can't leave you alone." Wan Shufang refused without even thinking.
Chen Changli had no choice but to take her back to the inn, but he found that not only was there no one on the street, but even the inn was empty.
He was surprised and suspicious: "There were so many people here before, how come they disappeared all of a sudden?"
After he said that, he took Wan Shufang around the entire inn and went to the kitchen specifically. He found that even the dishes had not been washed, the firewood was still warm, but the person was nowhere to be seen.
Wan Shufang gave a guess: "They probably suspected that there was something wrong with us, so they hid themselves."
Chen Changli felt something was wrong, so he immediately took her around the town, only to see some people scattered around in the well-decorated streets.
They looked numb and their eyes were empty. Wan Shufang wanted to get information from them, but they ignored her.
"What's wrong with them?" Wan Shufang felt very uncomfortable because these people looked like they had lost hope and were willing to be a walking corpse.
Chen Changli looked solemn: "Let's find a few more people to ask. If they all ignore us, we will go to that place."
He pointed forward, and Wan Shufang looked over and saw only a magnificent building.
Her face darkened slightly. "A poor town actually has such a magnificent building. It seems that this family is not simple. Chen Changli, let's go straight over there."
