Before the End of the World: I Became a Loophole in Heaven

Chapter 174 Bloodstains

"He brought it up when he was resting. I am old and rarely go down the mountain." The old man paused, not looking into Ji Li's eyes, "Look, it was brought up not long ago."

"I just looked at the backyard, which is directly connected to the mountain. There is no one in the nearby houses. Is everyone not home, old man?"

The old man looked at Li Yingjun carefully, then said, "There are few people in our village." After saying that, he relaxed again.

"I've already seen it. I think we'll go into the mountains soon. This kind of exploration is really interesting. It feels a bit like being in a deep mountain forest. What do you think?" Ji Li couldn't wait to climb up again.

"This is not a place to play, let's go down the mountain early." Li Yingjun said with a serious face.

Houses that are not occupied will not look so new. Although these houses are old, they have a sense of life, but there is no one in them.

While waiting for the old man to collect the dishes and go into the kitchen to wash them, Ji Li and the others compared their colors and communicated in the WeChat group.

[Li Yingjun]: When people were being hacked and injured some time ago, there were a lot of people involved. It wouldn't be a problem if some people were missing, but in just a moment, there was no one left, which was a bit strange.

[Ji Li]: That old man is very afraid of you.

[Li Yingjun]: I come here every few days, and I'm familiar with everyone. They know I'm from the bureau. But, this identity makes it difficult to get things done.

[Nangong Xi]: That old man also has problems.

[Nangong Xi]: There is a road in the backyard, but I didn’t dare to go far at that time. Brother Li, where is the family that worships the yellow fox you mentioned?

[Nangong Xi]: There is a path trampled out by people on the mountain leading to the backyard. I think there must be other paths.

[Li Yingjun]: It’s not far away, just a little distance away from the house at the entrance of the village.

A few people said goodbye to the old man and said they were going to walk around. The old man stood at the gate and kept talking, "There's not much to do in our poor mountain valley. You young guys will probably get bored after walking for a while. Listen to my advice and get down the mountain early."

Ji Li waved at the old man and said, "Old man, we have gone through so much trouble to get here. Let's just take a look around. You are not a minor. You should know your limits."

"The old man is right. You youngsters, hurry down." Li Yingjun said to Ji Li and others with a serious face and a business-like tone.

"Hey, little brother, we won't bother you." Ji Liyan smiled.

Seeing that the old man was still at the door, the few of them looked at each other and then split into two groups with Li Yingjun.

When passing by another closed door, Yan Cheng pulled Ji Li. Ji Li looked in the direction of Yan Cheng's gaze and saw fresh traces of dirt on the ground.

It looks like the marks left by the wheels of a tricycle.

There are people living there, but no one is there during the day.

Almost all the doors of the houses that the few people passed by had traces of wheels, as if something was being transported.

Li Yingjun sent another message in the group.

[Li Yingjun]: There is no one here to worship the yellow-skinned man. You can go around the village entrance and come to this house.

The village on the hillside of Jue Mountain is like a circular land, winding and twisting. Each house is some distance apart, but by winding and twisting, you can get into every house. When Ji Li walked away, he saw that there was a road in the backyard of every house, similar to the road in the village.

While waiting for them to arrive at the house that Li Yingjun pointed out, Ji Li's eyes clearly noticed something unusual on the ground.

Blood stains.

The surface had been cleaned and there were no traces of blood. Ji Li only saw a deeper spot on the ground.
