Chapter 478 North Suburban Forest
Chapter 478 North Suburban Forest
In Lin'an County, the streets were quiet, with two teams of soldiers walking back and forth on both sides of the road.
The two figures took off a few times and headed in the same direction.
Gu Qinghan brought Li Junyong to where Li Junguang lived. The place was a bit remote, and he was not the only one living there, there were other people too.
Li Junguang received Gu Qinghan's message early in the morning and switched shifts with the others to wait here.
"Hurry up and get out of here." Li Junguang waved to the two people who landed in the yard and said softly.
Inside the room, an oil lamp was lit, a jar of wine was placed on the table, the large bowls in front of the three people were filled with wine, and a plate of peanuts was placed in the middle of the table.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask me?" Li Junguang took a sip of wine and threw a peanut into his mouth.
"Brother, you have seen the news, what is the situation outside now?" Li Junyong knew that his brother had not been in Lin'an for some time, and he should know more about what happened outside than he did.
"Alas, there is nothing much to say. It is a mess outside. I heard that a village near Zhuangzhou City and a village in the north of the city were all hit. All the villagers died. No one was left alive. The villages were burned down."
"Is it all caused by those crazy people?" Li Junyong sighed.
"Not all of them. Thieves have broken into Zhuangzhou City and the situation is a bit tense. That notice has been posted, and it's not just internal strife that needs to be solved, but also external threats. When you go there this time, you must be careful of that crazy man." Li Junguang looked at Gu Qinghan and Li Junyong and warned them solemnly.
This thief is not that thief.
Gu Qinghan listened quietly at the side and took a sip of wine.
"I can only say that the outside world is in chaos, but Lin'an is still a pure land."
Li Junguang briefly revealed some information and did not let them stay too long. He urged them to leave quickly and wait until dawn.
He thought that Gu Qinghan and Li Junyong came to the county town during the day and had been waiting for him in the two-story courtyard until now.
Gu Qinghan didn't say anything. Li Junyong nodded and said that he would go out at dawn tomorrow morning, and if he was free, he would find time to go home to see his parents.
Li Junguang readily agreed, but it’s not possible now.
……
The next morning, the weather was gray and it was drizzling. Xu Yuan opened the window and looked outside. The mountainside was shrouded in fog.
By the time the many Japanese fruits got up, the rain had already fallen heavily, accompanied by strong winds and thunder and lightning.
"That's great. We don't have to go to school today." Many people shouted excitedly while looking at the rain outside.
Because the village chief once said that if it rains heavily or is windy, you don’t have to go to school and can just study at home.
After all, all the classes are for the enlightenment of the children in the village. They don’t actually involve very advanced teaching, so it won’t matter if you miss one class.
After this period of instruction, the children in the village learned a lot of words. Because the arithmetic method came from the wish gift, every child was extremely enthusiastic about it. They would go back and teach it privately to their family members so that they could count the coins more easily.
"You just don't have to go to school. You still have to practice your calligraphy." Xu Yuan reminded.
"Got it, big sister." Xuanyu laughed. He still needed to practice the martial arts moves that big sister taught him. Xuanyu raised his head and looked at the roof of the firewood shed not far away. When would he be able to fly to the roof like big brother Gu?
The rain never stopped and kept falling, making it impossible to go out to the fields to do farm work.
The amount of brown sugar is limited, but Xu Yuan did not continue to get sugarcane. After all, the amount of sugarcane is also limited. It has to be planted in large quantities so that brown sugar can be sold in large quantities. At that time, he can also try to get white sugar.
While it was raining, everyone stayed in the house and did their own things. In the morning, they packed the medicinal materials for the marinade and made a simple lunch. The rain outside still didn't stop, so during the nap time, they made a wish and went to the mountains.
……
In the forest near the north city, Xu Yuan teleported to this place through the specific location of the Xixu tree. As soon as he arrived here, the reminder sound in his mind rang loudly. Xu Yuan quickly covered his mouth and nose with a face towel and took a detoxification pill. It was not raining, and there was no sunlight coming in. It was very humid inside.
In the silent forest, dead small animals were lying on the ground, the most common ones were pheasants and hares. No large wild beasts were seen. There were also small birds, and the smell of blood was strong.
The Nishisu tree no longer exists, only a stump remains here, and next to it a branch that has been burned to charcoal.
It must have been man-made to have become like this. It seemed that those people were no longer satisfied with picking what was available, and instead released gas directly on the spot. This forest was probably already full of toxic gas released after the burning of the corpses of the worms mixed with the blood of animals. The mutant vines she planted next to the worm tree for surveillance were also nowhere to be found. The only people who could avoid being discovered by the mutant vines were dead people, and dead people who could move on their own. Humph, did they really succeed?
The wish disappeared again, and every time he went to a place where there were western beard trees, it was the same.
Damn, do you really think her mutated vines are so easy to handle?
Xuyuan cursed in his heart.
"Ding! Master. There is a village nearby. Do you want to go take a look?"
Village? Given the current situation, I'm afraid the poisonous gas has already spread. This trick of the dead man digging vines is really well used. It was silent and she didn't receive the news in the first time.
"What are you looking at? A dead person?" Xu Yuan replied unhappily.
"Master, it's not necessarily a dead person!" Xiaojiu's tone was slightly mischievous.
"Okay, let's go there."
Not necessarily a dead person.
Then you might even receive a considerable amount of points.
Xu Yuan ran quickly towards the place where he saw the village in his mind. The scenes he encountered along the way were all horrible and bloody.
The wet road surface was mixed with blood. Fortunately, the temperature in the forest was not high and there were few flies and mosquitoes visiting. Otherwise, the blood would definitely rot and stink in this weather.
Originally, she would have burned their bodies with talisman paper, but there were too many of them along the way, and she simply couldn't handle them all, so she had to stop. Even human corpses began to appear. They were in a mess, with their heads no longer in their original positions, rolling beside the bodies, covered in mud, and turned into bones, with faces that could not be seen clearly. The whole body was lying on the ground, with dried flesh and blood, but the surface was covered with blood. Judging from the dried skin, it was already bloody and the feet were the same. There was a large pool of blood under the body, and insect eggs were already breeding in it, emitting a foul smell, and a pair of outstretched arms seemed to still be in a crawling state.
Xuyuan paused and looked serious.
"Xiaojiu, check the general situation in the village."
This village is worse than she had imagined. This is not just murder, this is massacre.
