The spider lay in the palm of his hand, limp and motionless.
The beetle disappeared again and caught three more grasshoppers.
Also limp and motionless.
Jiejia's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Go!" Chen Mu slapped the horse's butt in front of him.
The carriage suddenly rolled forward.
……
"What are you doing!" A black horse blocked the carriage, and the bald man on the horse shouted: "Didn't I tell you to stay where you are and no one is allowed to move!"
"What's your name, big brother? It's really boring for us to stay where we are, so we might as well go for a walk ahead and explore the way for everyone in advance." Chen Mu said with a smile.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Stay where you are!" The bald strong man glanced at Jie Jia and said coldly.
"This is a small gift. Take it and have some tea. Let's go to the front to get some fresh air." Chen Mu took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the bald strong man.
The sturdy man caught it, put it in his arms with a smile, and his face suddenly turned cold again: "Go back!"
Chen Mu looked at Jie Jia with a smile: "This guy took the money but didn't do the job. His professional ethics are far worse than yours."
As he said this, he restrained his smile, looked at the burly man calmly, and lightly kicked the horse's butt with his toes.
The carriage ran straight into the burly man in black!
The bald strong man's face changed. He could not beat two horses with one horse.
Pull the reins immediately and get out of the way of the carriage.
Standing on the side of the road, seeing Jie Jia being silent and indifferent, Chen Mu completely ignored him.
The strong man was so angry that he laughed.
How dare a fair-faced boy like you turn a deaf ear to my words?
He jumped off the horse, grinning grimly, and reached out to grab Chen Mu's neck.
The convoy is in trouble, people are uneasy, and they just need someone to establish their authority.
Isn't this coming!
laugh!
A soft sound.
He only felt a chill on his fingers and a flash of silver light before his eyes.
The sharp tip of the sword passed through the gap between the index finger and the middle finger and appeared out of thin air in front of the eyeball.
At this moment, the tip of the sword was only a grain of rice away from the eyeball.
The bald strong man seemed to have pressed the stop button and stood there motionless.
He didn't even dare to blink, for fear of being cut by the sword.
Chen Mu had no expression on his face and said in a cold voice, "If you dare to stop the carriage, I will kill you."
laugh!
It's like not seeing where the sword came from.
No one saw where the sword went.
The tip of the sword disappeared from the bald man's sight, and he looked exhausted, with sweat all over his back.
Just now, he really felt like dying.
"What's going on?!" a hoarse voice asked coldly.
An old man in his fifties with half-white hair walked over.
The bald strong man was shocked and took two steps to the old man and clasped his fists respectfully.
"Master Zuo, I'm sorry to trouble you." The bald man said apologetically, "Something happened to the convoy. In order to find out the cause, I asked everyone to stay where they are."
"A silver-booted guard disobeyed orders. I have expelled them." The bald strong man said respectfully.
Then he looked at Chen Mujiejia and said coldly: "Go away. Xue's warehouse does not need a disobedient Silver Boots with a family!"
Jie Jia rolled his eyes and glanced at the master of the Zuo family. He gently shook the reins in his hand, and the carriage rumbled forward.
Chen Mu had a blank expression on his face. He didn't even look at the two of them. He leaned back in the carriage, lost in thought.
Being ignored by the two men, the sturdy man's face suddenly turned red.
“Master Zuo, the disobedient people have been driven away. You go and have a rest, we will deal with it as soon as possible…” But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Master Zuo.
"Notify the team and set off immediately!"
"Master Zuo, the young master is in trouble. We can't act so hastily. We must eliminate the hidden dangers first..."
"I said, let's set off immediately!" Master Zuo stared at the bald strong man.
The look in his eyes was very clear: if you don’t obey, I will replace you!
The bald man was holding back his words and said with a frustrated look on his face: "Yes!"
Master Zuo glanced again at the black lacquered carriage going away.
He glared at the bald strong man coldly: "Speed up and catch up with them!"
……
In a black carriage.
Cheng Ming held a fasting pill in each hand, took a bite with the left one and a nibble with the right one, eating it with great pleasure.
The fat county lieutenant Du Huai huddled obediently in the carriage without saying a word, but his eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhang Ye leaned against the inner wall of the carriage. He felt his back was wet with sweat, sticky and uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to scratch it.
From time to time, he glanced at Chen Mu outside the car.
Is this really a skinny scholar?
He had been staring at Chen Mu just now, but he didn't notice how the other party drew and sheathed his sword? !
Out of his martial arts habit, he subconsciously put himself in the position of the bald strong man.
It's impossible to defend against it! It's impossible to defend against it!
Master!
A master who can take his own life!
Thinking about how he had just patted someone on the shoulder and laughed at him for being so scared of death, Zhang Ye felt a chill on his forehead.
This scholar, he doesn't bear grudges...
……
The carriage moved slowly, but Chen Mu's hair stood on end, and he felt worse.
So he grabbed the whip and drove the carriage up high.
Ignoring the passengers' complaints about the bumpy ride, the carriage ran for more than twenty miles until it was out of the thick fog. Only then did they stop the carriage and let the horses rest.
He jumped off the carriage and looked back along the way.
The white fog was like a ball of cotton, tightly covering an area of ten miles around Qingshan County, and could not be blown away by the wind.
Looking from the outside, there was only a vast expanse of white.
Not long after, a rumbling sound was heard behind me.
The Zuo family convoy also ran out of the thick fog in a panic.
Seeing Chen Mu and others resting on the roadside, they slowed down and waited until the convoy was completely out of the white fog. They stopped the convoy and rested on the spot.
The run just now caused quite a stir in this huge convoy.
The personnel are in disarray and need to be re-checked and re-arranged; the goods are scattered due to the bumps and need to be tied up again.
Not long after, the convoy suddenly became noisy again.
"Boss, I heard that four more people died. Both old and young, all of them were frail and sick." Zhen Fan went to the side of the black lacquered carriage to report.
As soon as the Zuo family convoy stopped, he secretly went over to gather intelligence.
"Shit! This is weird! Fortunately we ran fast!" Zhang Ye's back was immediately wet with sweat again.
The inexplicable death made him think of evil spirits causing trouble.
Qingshan County has been a bit unstable recently.
There might be some unclean things in the fog.
Zhang Ye looked at Chen Mu with surprise.
This Chen Shusheng is really amazing! He actually noticed something was wrong in advance.
Seeing Chen Mu staring at the white fog with an expressionless face, he felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious.
……
"Is it the ghost that's causing trouble?" Chen Mu asked Jiejia.
"No." Jie Jia stood beside Chen Mu with his hands behind his back.
There was only a slit left of his eyes, and his bright yellow pupils stared at the mist thoughtfully.
"There must be something wrong with the fog."
"Fog?" Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the London smog incident that he had occasionally heard of in his previous life.
In 1952, due to the influence of air currents, the smoke and exhaust gas from factory production and residents' coal heating was difficult to disperse, and smog covered London for five days. During this period, the morbidity and mortality rates of citizens rose sharply.
Later statistics showed that the death toll from the smog was as high as 4000.
But Qingshan County is just an ancient city in another world. How much waste gas is there?
The huge Qingshan County was shrouded in white fog.
It was completely silent, like a dead city, without a single sound.
