On the second day, Zhou Ying talked to Gu Chengrui, and then the two began to pay attention to every move around them.

Especially Zhou Ying kept staring at the surroundings, because she knew that if something happened to the third prince, their fate would not be much better, so they had to do their best to ensure the safety of the third prince.

For the next three days, everything went smoothly, but the black and red color between the third prince's eyebrows became more and more intense. Zhou Ying knew that this was the darkness before dawn.

That night, a group of people stationed at the outskirts of a village. After the soldiers stopped, some of them set up camp immediately, and the gang leaders went to the village well to fetch water.

After Zhou Ying settled down, she saw a mountain nearby, so she wanted to see if she could find wild animals to eat.

Otherwise, eating pimple soup and black-faced steamed buns every day, she really couldn't bear it.

When he opened his consciousness to 'look' over the village, he immediately discovered that something was wrong in the village.

One is that there are too few people, only a dozen families, but this is not what makes her suspicious.

What really made her suspicious was that these people's homes were dilapidated, which meant they were not rich.

But there are rice and black noodles at home, and each of them grows very strong.

Especially the strong laborers, not only are they strong, but the key is that the size of their steps is basically the same when they walk. This is not like an ordinary farmer.

Afterwards, he went through the village carefully, and soon found an old man hiding in a house that was almost in ruins, staring at the guys who fetched water.

That expression, a little nervous and a little serious in the excitement, just looking at it, you can tell that he is not holding his fart.

Then I looked into the well, the water was very clear, and I really didn't find anything unusual.

I had no choice but to look up at the gang leaders, but I didn't expect that their brows were already completely dark.

Could it be...

Then I found Gu Chengrui and told him about it: "I suspect that there is something wrong with the water, maybe it was drugged, what should I do now?"

"Don't move, I'll figure out a way." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he turned to look for the third prince, and got his permission in the name of going to the village to buy some vegetables.

Then he took ten soldiers and walked to the village.

As soon as he entered the village, he soon knew why Zhou Ying, who had no investigative ability, could find the problem.

It's really that these people are too abnormal. Let me ask who can grow so strong in the year of the catastrophe. The key is that he is afraid of the murderous aura on them.

These strong laborers are likely killers in disguise.

Then he went straight to a woman and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know if there are any extra vegetables at home, do we want to collect some?"

"No, no, you guys, hurry up, hurry up." The woman glanced at him and ran away in a panic.

At the same time, people on the street saw this and immediately turned around and went home. Only a few men were left busy in the village, either chopping firewood or repairing the roof.

The woodcutter is really like that, but the roof repairer is a bit perfunctory, and he doesn't look like a person doing this job at all.

After getting the verification, Gu Chengrui turned around and said, "Yes, we are not welcome, so let's hold on for a few more days."

After finishing speaking, he took a group of soldiers back to the barracks, told the third prince about the anomalies in the village, and said: "The grass people are afraid that they are bandits who came down from the mountain, so we have to be careful.

And just in case, the well water they dug may not be drinkable, so I have to check it out. "

After hearing this, the third prince turned his head to look at the village, and then at the convoy of sweet potato seeds behind him, finally nodded and said: "Be careful, there is no big mistake, then you can go."

"Yes." Gu Chengrui responded and turned around and went to the kitchen. Seeing that they were pouring water into the pot, he immediately stopped them and said, "Wait, wait."
