Chapter 32 Wilderness Lonely Village
After Zhou Zicong pissed off his father, he returned to his straw nest to take a nap.
A farce ended, and the jail returned to silence. Amid the painful moans and snoring of the prisoners, Su Zhili fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but a mocking voice woke the Su family up.
Su Zhili leaned against Yao Wanniang's arms and yawned. Su Mutian sat up with sleepy eyes and looked around.
Qingzhu and Zhile came to the fence and looked towards the gate of the prison. They saw that there was a vast crowd of people, and they couldn't see the situation clearly.
The Su family didn't see many such situations, so they didn't dare to sleep, and they all watched the movements outside with vigilance.
"Ah... it's okay! Everyone keep going! Just get used to it. It's like this every day in this prison!"
Zhou Zicong woke up by the ridicule, looked at the Su family as if they were facing a great enemy and yawned to explain to the Su family.
After hearing this, Su Yixuan thanked Zhou Zicong and everyone lay down again.
The noise continued, and Su Zhili went to bed unknowingly. When Su Zhili woke up again, it was time for the Su family and their group to set off.
When the Su family was taken out of the cell by the runners, Zhou Zicong also followed.
Su Zhili was slightly surprised and didn't understand what he was going to do. It was not until the Su family was locked in the prison car and the team was about to set off that Zhou Zicong asked Su Yixuan loudly.
"Young Master Su, where was your family exiled?"
Su Yixuan looked full of confusion, but he still replied.
"Southern Wilderness!"
"Is it southern wilderness?" Zhou Zicong frowned and murmured in a low voice.
His eyes were full of surprise, and he did not expect that the Su family would be sent to such a desolate place.
There are many islands in the southern desert, climate change is unpredictable, tsunamis and storms occur frequently, and local wild animals are prevalent, making people's lives miserable.
Not to mention the long journey when exiled there, even if you arrive in the Southern Wilderness, you have to peel off your skin if you want to survive in the Southern Wilderness even if you don’t die.
Zhou Zicong thought with his eyebrows closed and the convoy had already walked away. He stood there, looking at the Su family who had disappeared in the morning light, and his eyes were confused.
Although he was a playboy, he was not stupid. His years of fighting wits and courage with Mr. Zhou made him develop the habit of observing his words and expressions.
Yesterday he found out that there should be people from the Su family among the yamen runners who were escorting them, but he didn't understand. He knew that the road ahead was a dead end, so why didn't they resist?
Anyway, there are few people in Wangxiang City, so they can take this opportunity to escape, and the sky will be wide open from now on.
"Can you really be stupid to be an official?"
Zhou Zicong had a complicated expression and said to himself.
At this time, Zhou Zicong was very grateful for his father's wise decision, and he suddenly felt that being a wealthy and idle person was also good.
"Young Master Zhou, are you going back?"
Jiang Da looked at Zhou Zicong who lowered his head and thoughtful, walked forward and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm? If you don't go back, you won't go back! It's not time yet, the old man will have to deal with me when he goes back!"
As soon as Zhou Zicong finished speaking, a surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked in the direction where the Su family left with a complicated expression, and knew it in his heart.
He suddenly seemed to understand the persistence of the Su family, and he couldn't help feeling sad. All the world is the king's land. If you want to live in the sun, the southern wilderness is the best destination.
The prison car slowly drove away from Wangxiang City. Su Zhili looked back at the city like an old man in his twilight years, full of wind and frost, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Although I didn't appreciate the bustling and prosperity in my heart, when I thought of that interesting person, Su Zhili's eyes were shining and felt that this trip was worth it.
I don’t know if I still have a chance to see you again in this life. After all, in ancient times when we value ethics, it was rare to be so funny.
After leaving Wangxiangcheng, Zhou Wen ordered the convoy to rush on his way. For Su Zhili, it was another experience. As the evening approached, the group finally stopped in front of a village.
It was obviously time for dinner, not only did there be no smoke in the sky above the village, but the whole village was also terrible and strangeness was revealed everywhere.
"Ma Gui, take people into the village to check, Yunlang, you are responsible for receiving the response!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The two of them received the order and took four people away from the convoy and walked towards the village.
Su Zhili looked at the deserted village in front of her with a nervous expression, shrank to Yao Wanniang in fear, hugged her arm tightly, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
The scenes of horror movies such as "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", "Grudge", and "Niushou Village" flashed in their minds. Su Zhili swallowed in fear, and her whole body was covered in cold sweat.
She seriously suspected that she had obtained the wrong script. How could this be a story of exile and becoming rich? It was clearly a horror exploration in the wilderness!
Along the way, she counted the things she had experienced, making her little heart, which was not strong, even more fragile.
"Be good at Zhili, don't be afraid!"
Although Yao Wanniang was full of fear, when she felt Su Zhili's trembling, she carried her into her arms and comforted her with a calm and gentle voice.
The three Su Qing and his son in another prison car looked at the scared mother and daughter with concern, and their anxious and worried expressions kept flashing on their faces.
The last ray of light of the sun was about to disappear on the horizon, and the whole village seemed even more desolate. The evening breeze blowing through the dilapidated houses made a whimper, like the cry of a baby and the whisper of a woman, sounded chilling.
There was a field around the village, with scattered scattered earth buns scattered in the fields. At this time, it was gray, as if there were spots of light flashing, which scared Su Zhili's face turned pale and cold sweat was flowing.
It seems that there are countless pairs of eyes in the darkness in the distance, constantly peeking at their every move.
The feeling of being as bright as a light on the back made people feel cold on their backs. Su Zhili asked all the Buddhas in the sky again in his heart, hoping to bless them to reach the Southern Wilderness safely.
However, it is said that the gods are very busy, so her wish cannot be realized.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the village, and on the quiet night, it was particularly clear.
"Boss! There is no breath in the whole village!" Ma Gui bowed and reported to Zhou Wenhui.
"No one?" Zhou Wen was slightly surprised, with confusion in his eyes. Although the village in front of him looked a bit dilapidated, it did not look like it had been desolate for a long time.
"Have you checked it carefully?"
"Yes, all of them have been investigated. Not only is there no one in the village, but there are not even poultry and livestock. However, the subordinates have found a little suspicious point."
"Oh? Say it quickly!"
Zhou Wen felt that the village was full of strangeness, and after hearing Ma Gui's discovery, his expression trembled.
"I found that each family had grain stored in the rice jars, and the furnishings in the houses were as usual. I saw traces of people's lives, and it was not like a deserted village."
Ma Gui told his doubts. After all, this village was too weird, which forced them to treat them with caution.
After hearing Ma Gui's words, Su Zhili's nerves became even tighter. When she didn't know the real situation, she became imaginary.
After hearing the truth, her thoughts were like wild horses that were unrestrained. Countless horror scenes magnified in her mind, and she seemed to have foresaw the miserable death of these people.
