It wasn't their turn yet, so Xiushui could still whisper to the old lady.
"Grandma, I see these guys trying to squeeze our money first. When they can't squeeze us, they'll just target us and take action."
The old lady also lowered her voice. "Well, that's the case at the moment. It's the case for us ordinary people. For those wealthy business travelers and the like, it's probably all about the various temptations to have fun in the city."
Those who didn't fall for it probably had something wrong with them on the way. No wonder the rumors I'd heard before all said that there were so many weird things going on in the underworld.
But the city is peaceful and tranquil. Haha, the ghosts are the city guards, not the ghosts outside.
Soon, the little snake that Yingying sent out to gather information also received news.
Interestingly, she can communicate with the eagle, and the eagle can communicate with other animals. In this way, Xiushui also has a group of animal brothers invisibly.
"Master, I asked Xiaobai, Xiaohong, and Xiaohei to explore various places in this city, and they found that there are many reception areas here.
There are places like this where a girl will happily go to greet a wealthy man when she sees him coming in. There are many places like this in the city.
There is another kind of place, where there is a group of not very rich people, shouting various cheers at the fight on the stage, some are happy and some are sad.
Most people were praying to some stone statues..."
"Where is the city defense mansion?"
“There are all kinds of animals raised in the city defense house, and the bones those animals gnaw on look like human bones.
There are also quite a few places that make steamed buns, and I saw a lot of human limbs with flesh still on them. I haven't found any places further away yet."
Xiushui felt cold all over after hearing this. It was miserable enough for everyone to flee from famine, but who could have imagined that they would end up in an even more miserable state after arriving in Shisha City.
The useful ones have figured out where to apply force, and the pretty ones, regardless of gender or size, have all become playthings of others.
As for the original residents of this city, they were probably taught the cult, and this is probably the reason why the Shisha City Defense Lord can control everyone in the city.
"These people are really mean. Anyone who is about to die or is completely useless will be used as meat. This meat is then given back to the remaining hungry people.
The bones became a delicious meal for the city defense lord's beasts. This city defense lord used his mind to control the people of the city, so that he could amass wealth and enjoy supreme power. This kind of person is truly more hateful and terrifying than corrupt officials..."
"Corrupt officials aren't good either. This one is even worse than a corrupt official. Xiu, we've encountered this situation, so we still have to take care of it. Can you use the Eagle Eagle and the Immortal Cultivation Snake to let them attack this Stone Sand City?"
"Grandma, I'll think about it and start tomorrow night at the latest."
Of course we have to take care of her.
This unscrupulous city defense chief, who eats human flesh and drinks human blood, is still praised by everyone. If he is not eliminated and is allowed to climb up in the future, more people will die.
The people in the village who had been clamoring the most to get free food panicked and kept protesting after hearing that they were going to be separated.
"No, we came here in a group, why do we have to be separated? We don't want to eat your food or live in your house, we just want to be together as a group."
"You're still trying to cause trouble in this place. Lock him up."
At this point, the once kind faces were no longer bothered to pretend. Perhaps because they had experienced this kind of thing too many times, these people directly raised their knives and attacked with the slightest resistance.
The people in Houshan Village never imagined that Lai Qiliang and his wife, who were the loudest shouters, would be attacked by this group of people just because they wanted to rush out with their children.
With just two whooshing cuts, the man who had been alive and kicking before was separated from his head and body.
Everyone, including Xiushui, was stunned by this sudden change.
They all looked at the people who were hacked to death and the guards who raised their chins arrogantly.
"Once you enter this place, you must obey all the instructions. We asked you to press your fingerprints in the first place. Have you forgotten so quickly? Anyone who dares to cause trouble again will suffer the same fate as these two."
No matter how naive those who thought the city defense chief was good before, now knew that something was wrong.
They regretted why they didn't listen to the village chief and elders and insisted on entering this free place.
"Wow... The village chief has always been considerate of us, so why did I feel like taking advantage of it when I heard it was free? Wow, is it really that easy to take advantage of something in this world?"
Many people secretly regretted it in their hearts, but had to accept the reality and were taken away.
Some smart people, seeing their children being taken away with a group of equally beautiful children, would rush to get their children back.
"One more step forward and kill!"
With the shining knife in front of him, the man covered his mouth in panic and could only cry silently.
Xiushui sighed. She compromised and followed this group of people here because she actually wanted to teach the team a lesson.
Now it seems that this lesson is indeed profound.
However, this alone is not enough.
One by one, they just don't listen to the village chief when they see a little benefit. Later on, if others give them a little benefit, they will sell out others at will.
The old lady also thought of this, so when she was being taken away, she warned her not to meddle in other people's business too early, and that if she was going to teach her a lesson, she had to learn it all at once.
Except for the old lady and the second son of the Wen family, everyone else was taken to the group of beautiful people.
Looking at the room full of pretty kids and young women, even middle-aged ladies with a little bit of beauty like Duan and Li were locked up, Xiushui's eyes sank slightly.
This group of people really won't let go of anything they see.
After being locked up, Xiushui focused his mental energy outside.
Sure enough, the guards cared about silver.
"Tsk, there are some pretty young wives among the refugees this time. I saw a woman holding a baby. I guess she's going to be sent to the city defense commander."
"Most likely, the city defense lord and his son both like pretty women who are breastfeeding. Today's pretty woman is beautiful and coquettish, and she has milk. Tsk, the city defense lord and his son are definitely going to have a crazy night..."
"The city defense lord already has thirty-five concubines, and I wonder if this one will be the thirty-sixth. If she's chosen, we brothers will definitely be rewarded."
