The junction of Wuling County, Wenxiang County and Fenglin County of Gaochun State, along the north bank of the Zhangnao River.

As early as the day when Wuling County and Wenxiang County were dispatched by 800 miles respectively, and the flying pigeon passed the letter to report the epidemic situation in Fenglin County, the county guards and garrisons of the two counties had already thought of immediately putting an end to the entry and exit of everyone and things in the jurisdiction of Fenglin County. Therefore, without waiting for the decree of the imperial court, the two county guards had already led their soldiers to the north bank of the Zhangnao River to inspect and take precautions.

Just because there was no decree from the imperial court, the garrisons of the two counties did not dare to drive away the people along the coast without authorization, so they could only order the soldiers to draw their bows and arrows, and always pay attention to whether there were any birds flying out of Fenglin County on the south bank of the Zhangnao River, and once they found it, they must shoot it immediately. At the same time, the surface of the Zhangnao River is closely monitored, and once animals or people from the south to the north are found to cross the river, they must also be shot in the middle of the river immediately.

In the evening of the same day, the news of the flying pigeon from the imperial court reached the hands of the two garrisons, and with the clear will of the imperial court, the two led their soldiers and immediately began to drive away all the inhabitants within a hundred miles of the coast.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and naturally a considerable number of residents have not seen the epidemic in Fenglin County with their own eyes, so when they heard that they were going to relocate, they did not want to resist it by all means. So much so that a whole day and night passed, and the imperial court's plan to establish a 100-mile unmanned epidemic prevention zone on the north bank of the Zhangnao River was almost no progress.

Fortunately, with the imperial court mobilizing the garrisons of the neighboring counties of Wuling County and Wenxiang County to assist in the implementation of the plan of the 100-mile unmanned epidemic prevention zone, from near and far, they have been coming over one after another since the next day. In this way, having sufficient troops, the garrisons knew that it was not the time to reason with the people, so they took strong measures to forcibly drive away the inhabitants within a hundred miles of the coast.

At the same time, the method of driving away one place and burning one place by fire was adopted to cut off the idea of migrating people.

The fire on the north bank of the Zhangnao River began to burn on the tenth day of the second month of the spring of the twenty-third year of Tianfeng, and by the thirteenth, the north bank of the Zhangnao River, which was winding for hundreds of miles, was already full of fire. So far, the Baili unmanned epidemic prevention zone on the north bank of the Zhangnao River has been basically established.

In the early spring, when the weather is dry and dry, and the southeast wind is strong, the fire in the uninhabited epidemic prevention area for hundreds of miles is likely to continue to spread northward, and it is difficult to control it.

Just as the officers and soldiers on the north bank of the Zhangnao River wanted to contain the growing fire, the fire, which could be seen hundreds of miles away, woke up the only life on the ground in Fenglin County, where everyone in Gao Chunguo thought that there was no living thing.

In the early morning of February 14, the twenty-third year of Tianfeng. In a small forest at the foot of the west foot of the Wacan Mountain in Yulin Town, Yubai County, Fenglin County. A thin teenager staggered and almost crawled out. Came to the edge of the grove, stretched out his hand to hold the trunk of a small black locust tree, looked up at the red-hot sky in the distance to the north, and muttered intermittently:

"If you go to the water, you must be somewhere to go to the water."

Knowing that no matter where the fire was, there was nothing he could do now, so the boy withdrew his gaze and began to examine his body, which was in pain everywhere.

The clothes were torn, and the bare skin was covered with deep and shallow scars, but fortunately they were no longer bleeding. Try to move your arms and legs, obviously there are no broken bones.

"As long as the bones aren't broken."

After muttering to yourself, try to keep walking. Although he felt a heart-piercing pain with every step he took, the unbearable hunger in his stomach drove him to walk in the direction of a dark mass that looked like a village in the distance.

In the second half of the night, the village was pitch black, and the phenomenon of no lights was understandable, but it was really strange that the chickens and dogs did not even smell.

The boy's drowsy head, occupied by pain from his body, could barely think of anything else, but he noticed the strangeness of the silent village in front of him.

The moment he stepped into the village, the whole person was tripped over something on the ground, and subconsciously reached out to pick up a round, smooth tentacle like a wooden stick in front of him, and looked at it through the faint moonlight under the thin clouds in the night sky.

"Mom-."

The terrifying and mournful shouts suddenly echoed in the deathly silence of the night for a long time.

At this moment, the fear from his heart overcame the pain in his body, and the boy turned around and ran towards the way he came. It wasn't until he ran out of breath and had no strength anymore that he fell down in the dead grass on the side of the road, and because of hunger, because of panic, because of the lifeless running just now, the boy fell asleep for a while.

When the boy opened his eyes again, a red sun had risen above his head, and even he did not know whether he had been awakened by the sun, hungry, or even painful. The boy struggled to get up, trying to remember what he had encountered during the night.

"No way, how can the streets of the village be full of dead people's bones, it must be a nightmare."

Especially under such a bright and clear situation, the boy is even more convinced that the so-called scene of seeing dead people's bones all over the street at night must be his own nightmare. So, shaking again, he staggered and staggered to the village not far away.

It was just that as soon as he came to the entrance of the village, the piles of white bones on the street broke what the boy had just thought, not a nightmare, but indeed there were dead human bones everywhere.

Although I was still terrified, I really didn't have the strength to run anymore. The only choice was to stop entering the village full of dead people's bones in front of him, and take a detour, hoping to reach the next village as soon as possible, and the boy had no confidence in how long he could hold out.

Finally, after straining all his strength to reach the next village, the boy once again fell weakly on the side of a stream that ran around the village. With almost the last breath of strength, I tried to raise my head so that I would not hit my head against a protruding stone by the stream.

It's just that the next moment, the young man's whole body seemed to be rigid, motionless and maintained a posture with his chin raised, but a pair of frightened eyes were firmly fixed on the stone root, only a puddle of calm water the size of a palm.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible."

After a long time, the young man's chapped lips from hunger and thirst closed one by one, and he said three "impossible" in succession.

On the palm-sized surface of the calm water, a face that was extremely strange was reflected. The whole face is divided into two halves from the tip of the nose, and the upper part is green, like a new leaf in spring. Especially the green hair, like a sprout that has just broken through the ground. The lower part is yellowish, like the yellowish color of the leaves that are about to fall off the branches in autumn.

The skin below the chin is just like a normal person, but it looks a little pale because of multiple injuries on the body and hunger in the abdomen for many days.

It took a long time for the boy to calm the panic in his heart, and he raised his hand and stroked it carefully on his face. The green upper part of the tentacles gives a warm feeling, similar to the feeling of touching a young leaf that has just emerged in spring. The lower part is rough to the touch, as if touching the bark of a dead tree.

In order to see more clearly, and to ascertain what was really happening to him, the boy climbed a few steps toward the stream, and came to a puddle larger enough to show the entire head and the outline of the neck, and looked down.

It was the same as what he had just seen, but in a trance, the young man found that there seemed to be two green leaves swaying in the wind behind his head. Mistaking it for the reflection of a branch and leaf on a small tree by the stream, in order not to hinder himself from studying the strange face, he subconsciously raised his right hand and stretched out towards the two leaves behind his head, trying to break the branch so as not to disturb himself.

The tentacles were empty, and when the boy withdrew his right hand, the two green leaves were still swaying in the wind, and it seemed to be clearer. I didn't want to pay any more attention to the two green leaves in my mind, but they were always reflected in the water, so I couldn't concentrate on the weird face.

simply turned his head to see what was going on, but he didn't see anything. The small tree by the stream closest to him, on the thin branches, has just squeezed out a few green bulges, where are there any green leaves?

Looking back in confusion, the reflection of two green leaves was still clearly visible on the surface of the water. And it's just behind the head, a little higher than the top of the head, just enough to see the whole leaf.

"What's going on?!"
