Chapter 446: Strange Village
Yi Qianhuan has also been paying attention to the situation inside the house.
There was absolutely no sound in the room, as if no one was there.
Yi Qianhuan stepped forward, pushed Xiao Taoxing away, and kicked open the closed door in front of him.
Ignoring Xiao Taoxing's cries, Yi Qianhuan walked in and found that Aunt Zhu's house was empty.
Xiao Taoxing looked through the door and saw the empty hall. She was puzzled: "Aunt Zhu? Uncle Zhu, Brother Zhu? Aren't you all home?"
Yi Qianhuan looked at the food on the table and said, "No need to call. If I'm not mistaken, this family must have left home urgently due to some special reasons."
"Everyone doesn't need to go to the fields to work. They should be preparing for dinner at this time. They won't run around." Seeing that Yi Qianhuan ignored her, Xiao Taoxing said anxiously, "This is not the first time I've been with you guys. I know better than anyone what everyone does at what time of day..."
"Then how do you explain the situation where the whole family left, leaving behind this table of food?" Yi Qianhuan walked to the dining table and pointed at the untouched food on the table.
The dishes and chopsticks on the table were already laid out, and the food was even steaming, which showed that the Zhu family should have been ready for the meal, but for some reason they had to leave the food behind.
Xiao Taoxing also saw the food on the table. A helpless expression appeared on her face and she didn't know how to explain for a moment.
Originally, Yi Qianhuan did not expect to get the answer from Xiao Taoxing, so he just walked around the Zhu family carefully.
The Zhu family's clothes, money and other things are still there, which shows that they should not go far.
Xiao Taoxing followed behind Yi Qianhuan silently. After she was sure that the Zhu family was really not in the room, she became panicked: "No, no, how could someone suddenly disappear... Yes, I can go find someone else, Auntie! Auntie Li!"
Xiao Taoxing said this and ran out in a hurry.
Yi Qianhuan calmly watched Xiao Taoxing's leaving back. Although she didn't know why, she could clearly feel Xiao Taoxing's panic.
Knowing very little about the village in front of him, Yi Qianhuan decided to follow and take a look.
Xiao Taoxing had already run to Aunt Li's door.
Seeing that she had knocked on the door for a long time without any response, Yi Qianhuan came over and helped her kick open the door of Aunt Li's house.
As a result, just like Aunt Zhu's house, there was no one at Aunt Li's house.
Seeing that Xiao Taoxing looked shocked and at a loss, Yi Qianhuan went directly to other homes in the village, kicked open their doors, and finally confirmed that there were no other villagers in the entire Taoyuan Village except her and Xiao Taoxing.
Yi Qianhuan did not expect such a situation to occur. While she was thinking, Xiao Taoxing beside her broke down and rushed over to her, crying.
He pinched Xiao Taoxing's wrist and twisted it gently to take away the sharp blade from her hand. Yi Qianhuan then put it against Xiao Taoxing's neck and said, "Don't brandish a knife or a gun in front of me."
"Just kill me if you have the guts!" Xiao Taoxing shed tears and tilted her neck, looking extremely desperate. "I have been abandoned by the gods anyway. There is no point in me continuing to live like this. I might as well just die like this."
"You are such a loser. There was no god protecting you when you were born, but you were still born into this world. You gave yourself your life, and gods only appeared on the basis of your self. You are really putting the cart before the horse."
As Yi Qianhuan spoke, he had already let go of Xiao Taoxing.
Seeing Yi Qianhuan leaving her behind, Xiao Taoxing was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after Yi Qianhuan's back: "Why didn't you kill me? You should kill me! I don't need your pity!"
"I don't pity you, but there's no point in killing you." Seeing Xiao Taoxing glaring at him, Yi Qianhuan gave her a clear solution, "If you really can't live anymore, you can choose to commit suicide."
Xiao Taoxing looked as if she had heard something shocking, and said in horror: "No, our bodies belong to the village god. Unless the village god agrees, we cannot harm our bodies."
"But your village god has abandoned you. This empty village is the best proof. All the villagers have left, which only proves that you have lost your usefulness." Yi Qianhuan said this as he squatted down and carefully observed the footprints on the ground.
These footprints are messy, which shows that the owners of these footprints must have left in a hurry.
These should be the footprints left by the villagers when they left.
This also proves that these villagers did not disappear out of thin air.
But why did these villagers leave?
Were they called away, or did they decide to leave on their own accord?
Yi Qianhuan couldn't get an answer, and Xiao Taoxing beside him was still making a fuss.
"I don't care. It's you who caused me to be punished by God. Rather than being punished by God, I would rather die here now!" Xiao Taoxing said, and came to Yi Qianhuan with a sharp blade, stubbornly wanting Yi Qianhuan to end her life.
Seeing that Xiao Taoxing was shaking with fear while speaking, Yi Qianhuan couldn't understand why this girl was so stubborn.
"Tell me what divine punishment is, and I will kill you."
Tears welled up in Xiao Taoxing's eyes, and she choked up as she said, "Whenever someone disrespects the gods, divine punishment will naturally occur... I'm not sure what will happen to those punished by the gods. I only know that divine punishment is torture worse than death, and no one wants to be tortured."
"Woo, woo, woo, it's all because of you, otherwise I wouldn't be punished by the gods!"
"Then find a way to avoid God's punishment." Yi Qianhuan said, leaving Xiao Taoxing behind and left.
Xiao Taoxing, who had been ready to be killed, saw that Yi Qianhuan hadn't made a move yet, and quickly chased after him: "Why don't you keep your word? Didn't you promise me to kill me?"
"I don't keep my word." Yi Qianhuan said this, and finally returned to Xiao Taoxing's home.
It’s hard to say whether it’s God’s punishment or not, but anyway, it’s coming, so she’ll just wait and see what happens.
Xiao Taoxing was stunned by Yi Qianhuan's matter-of-fact attitude. She didn't expect that someone could say such shameless words so confidently!
After entering Xiao Taoxing's house, Yi Qianhuan began to sleep.
Xiao Taoxing stared at Yi Qianhuan, she really couldn't understand Yi Qianhuan's action.
But now, she and Yi Qianhuan are the only ones left in the village. She doesn't dare to leave Yi Qianhuan easily, and in the end she can only choose to endure silently.
That night, Xiao Taoxing couldn't hold it in any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
