Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Plague Village

The sound of slight footsteps came little by little from a distance, and subconsciously, Feng Wuji quickly woke up from his sleep, and his palm immediately turned into a flame and sat up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info her intuition as a phoenix lord for hundreds of years, so that she can be well aware of everything in the outside world no matter when and where, so as to avoid being trapped in danger.

"Are you awake?" After Qi Chu saw her wake up, he frowned slightly, and threw the fresh wild fruit he had just stepped on in his hand into her hand, "Eat quickly, it's not early, let's hurry up." ”

The rain turned from fluttering to flying in the sky. In the already cold autumn, a gentle breeze and rain linger in the air, and the whole valley is filled with a strange smell.

They left the place when they were ready, and because Feng Wuji was worried that someone would intercept them again halfway, they chose a remote path back to Dufeng Ridge.

Dead silence, silence.

Tucked away in a dense forest surrounded by thorny trees, it's hard to spot the trail unless you look closely. At the end of the road was a small village, but the more they walked inside, the more strange they became, and for three hours they had not met a single person. It wasn't until near noon that they finally arrived at the entrance of the village.

When he was about to enter the entrance of the village, Feng Wuji suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "Plague! ”

Sure enough, as she expected, the whole village turned away the living with just one glance, and the scene in the village was completely bleak and terrifying that ordinary people could accept.

The whole village has long been dilapidated, and the choking smell of death and corruption is everywhere, and all the way through, the corpses in the village are all over the field, even if they are not dead, the bodies of men, women and children are festering, and some even have no body, and the white bones of the forest are directly exposed.

Feng Wuji didn't think about it, so he walked directly into the village.

"You are a Demon Realm Phoenix Lord, coming to such a small broken village, you will lose your identity!" Qi Chu's voice sounded behind her, and there was an extremely cold chill between the words.

She smiled faintly and stopped, and the smile was mocking with sadness: "There are some identities that I don't want to have, and I can give up if I want to." If this is what I am in your heart, why do you say more? ”

Qi Chu seemed to be stunned, looking at her back, his eyes slowly revealing compassion and sympathy. His fists clenched and loosened, and it took him a moment to follow her footsteps.

"Wait." He called Feng Wuji in time, and when Feng Wuji turned around suspiciously, he said lightly: "Although you are the Phoenix Lord, don't be so careless about your life." He tore off his robe, quickly tore off a strip of cloth, and handed it to her.

Looking at his movements, Feng Wuji couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Do you care about me?" ”

Qi Chu said calmly: "I just hope you don't die here." As he spoke, he tore off another strip of cloth and covered his mouth and nose, and continued walking.

Only for a moment, as if bubbling warm in the heart of Feng Wuji, she has been lonely and lonely, as if to capture a trace of unusual touch, at that moment, the wave in the corner of her eyes can no longer be suppressed, dripping a hot one.

With each step, the scene in front of me became more horrific and cruel.

"Official, please don't burn us! Please! ”

"My son is not dead yet, you are really brutes who have lost their conscience!"

"Oh my God, why did this happen to us!"

……

Not far away, there was a sudden chaotic noise, and I saw a dozen people in front of me wearing the clothes of the servants building a fire rack, and below were dozens of dying infected villagers, judging by the situation, the entire village was going to be burned down to prevent future troubles.

"I didn't expect them to all get smallpox." Qi Chu only glanced at it, and then said lightly.

Smallpox, also known as pox, is a terminal disease that everyone fears, and it is also a terminal disease for which there is no cure.

"Fairy! The fairy is coming! The fairies are here! ”

When Feng Wuji didn't pay attention, an old woman who couldn't tell whether it was flesh or acne all over her body grabbed the corner of her skirt tightly, and said in an extremely trembling voice: "You are a fairy sent by heaven, right?" It's here to save us, isn't it? ”

Seeing this, a young man next to the old woman knelt down directly towards Feng Wuji and Qi Chu, looked at them with a blank look, and cried: "Please, please save my daughter, she is still young, she is only five years old......" The man said, tears flowed down his cheeks, it was really sympathetic and heart-wrenching.

"Big brother!" Qi Chu stepped forward, picked up the kneeling man, and said gently, "This big brother, you get up and speak first." What the hell is going on here, and how did it come to this? ”

The man stood up, the fist in his hand couldn't help but clench quickly, and the anger in his eyes burned: "If you want to blame, blame those monsters in the demon world!" If it weren't for them, how could our Fushou Village become like this overnight! ”

Hearing this, Feng Wuji's palm instantly turned into a breath of true qi, and he asked loudly, "What did you say?" ”

"What else could there be? Our Fushou Village is close to Dufengling, and our village was originally safe and sound, but since five years ago, those monsters in Dufengling have made us have to hand over 500 stone of grain every year, how can we have so much? At first, we wanted to resist, but we couldn't fight them! Therefore, as soon as we don't hand in enough food, youkai will come to our village and take the children away. In order to avoid this from happening, we had to grit our teeth and scrape together enough food in previous years, but this year a heavy rainstorm flooded all the grain fields......"

"How could this be?" Feng Wuji looked at the man in front of him solemnly, "Are you trying to lie to me?" I've never heard of anything like this. ”

"Lie to you?" The man smiled bitterly helplessly, and said lightly: "What can I deceive you?" There really wasn't much to hand in this year, but we couldn't watch the monsters take our children away, so we collectively discussed fighting them to the death. When they found out, they actually ...... Unexpectedly, a plague broke out in the village, and overnight...... The sick in the village, the dead dead...... Leave only ...... Those of us who are worse off than ...... dead," the man said, and the tears kept falling again until he couldn't stop crying.

The man cried for a long time, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Feng Wuji again, and cried, "I know you must be a fairy, otherwise you wouldn't have come in without fear!" Please, save my daughter, okay? Please......"

The man's cry was heartbreaking, and anyone who listened to it could not help but feel sympathy. Feng Wuji's heart ached for some reason, and she just wanted to agree to the man's request, but was stopped by Qi Chu's cold voice.

His eyes were fixed on her, and his tone was extremely cold: "It's useless for you to beg her, she will never help you!" ”
