Chapter 1399: Tongtian Immortal Gu

Originally, I thought it was a sunny day, but now it seems that although there is no more snow, the north wind is blowing and rolling up the snow, which is no different from snow.

Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin were walking on the river, and only in this place could they feel that this was a town, and it was relatively lively.

Xiao Yin whispered to him beside him: "It should be that people from several nearby cities have come, so there will be so many people, it's just a small Beishui City market, it's not so lively!"

There is a big difference from the bazaars in the Central Plains, the bazaars here are like fluid. Now Xuanbao finally knew why they chose the market on the river, because there were mostly old people in it, and they couldn't hold those baskets anymore, but tied a rope to their hands and slowly pulled forward.

That way, when they come across something they need, they will stop and start discussing how to exchange it for each other's things.

Although the wind was blowing, the sun was still out, the number of people on the river was increasing, and the market was becoming more and more lively.

However, for these people who rush to the market, they are becoming more and more careful, because the snow on the river surface has been compacted, and it has become very slippery, and the slightest mistake will fall!

Xuan Bao was really worried that so many people would crush the river! Xiao Yin saw his worry and said with a smile: "It's okay, the depth of the glacier is about seven or eight feet, and sometimes the thickness of the ice can reach eight feet! Not to mention people, it doesn't matter if there is a war horse running on it!"

I didn't expect that this glacier looked like it was only seven or eight feet wide, and there was such a deep water level! Xuan Bao subconsciously glanced at his feet, there was no snow where he was standing, so he stood directly on the ice, glanced at it, and seemed to see a black shadow flashing by, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

What is it? Xuan Bao was stunned for a moment, frowning. The thing was moving so fast that he couldn't see it clearly, and he didn't even know what the shape was.

Seeing Xuanbao staring at his feet in a daze, Xiao Yin asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Guinea fish?" Xuan Bao looked at Xiao Yin a little strangely, as if he had heard this name for the first time.

Xiao Yin smiled and nodded, "There is a guinea fish in Mobei, which is as big as a pig, delicious but highly poisonous, and should not be eaten in vain." That's what we're talking about!"

The shadow he saw just now, could it really be a guinea fish? Xuanbao wasn't sure, but since Xiao Yin said that there was a guinea fish underneath, it was probably so.

I was thinking about learning more about this guinea fish, but suddenly I heard a noise behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw that there were a few people on the shore, as if they were arguing, but they didn't look like it, they just shouted a few voices, and they stopped talking.

Xuanbao didn't like to join in the fun, so he didn't go over, but Xiao Yin's face changed slightly, grabbed his arm, and whispered, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

It seems that Xiao Yin's mood is very anxious, and she pulls Xuanbao and walks quickly. When they arrived, the few people who had gathered here also dispersed, and the last old man also shook his head and left with his hands behind his back with a sigh.

And on the ground, there was a woman lying down, the one who Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin had helped up just now! Only now her appearance was even more miserable, there was a big hole in her forehead, she was bleeding out, her face had turned gray, and there was a pool of blood on a half-human-high stone next to her.

Xiao Yin ran over, helped the woman up, and shouted at the old man who left with his hands behind his back, and said a word in his mouth, which should be Helan dialect.

The old man stopped, turned his head to look at Xiao Yin and Xuan Bao, then said the same, shook his head, turned around and continued to walk away.

"How is she?" Xuan Bao squatted down to support the woman for Xiao Yin, wanting her to rescue, but as soon as he came into contact with the woman, he already knew that she was no longer saved!

Xiao Yin looked sad, looked down at the woman and said guiltily: "I just asked the old man, who killed her? The old man said that she hit the stone and died! If we had helped her catch those children just now, she might not have died!"

"What about those eggs? How can we help her recover? That may be the most valuable thing in her house, even she is reluctant to eat it, just because she fell, all of them are broken!" Xuan Bao took Xiao Yin's hand, shook his head and said, "Caught those children, and other children! We saved her this time, turn around, it is likely that she will meet her a second time! Even if we save her, can you guarantee that there will not be a second her here?"

"I..." Xiao Yin was speechless, she knew that Xuan Bao was not ruthless, but telling the truth. Look at the staggering steps of the people here, the indifferent faces, are they really ruthless and unjust? just full of faith in life, and regard death as a kind of relief, a kind of ordinary thing!

But even so, can you just let this woman be left here? Xiao Yin said to Xuan Bao, "You wait for me here!"

Xuan Bao watched her run behind the old man who had just left with his back hand, and said a few words to him, the old man shook his head, and Xiao Yin's face showed a look of disappointment, but he still took a golden hairpin from his head and handed it to the old man's hand.

When she walked back dejectedly, Xuanbao didn't ask her, but just took her hand. Xiao Yin said in a low voice: "She has three sons, all of whom entered the Central Plains with the army and never came back! A week ago, her husband was also killed by the plague, and even the thatched hut was crushed by the heavy snow last night, she finally snatched these things from her home, this is already her last property! I thought I wanted to go to the Central Plains in exchange for some food, to find my son, but I didn't expect..."

Xuan Bao opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything after all, because he had nothing to say. This kind of suffering sounds tragic, but what can it be counted in Helan? Even if it is placed in the Central Plains, what is so surprising?

At the beginning of the world, the people lived a hard life, and the tragic fate of an old woman was no longer strange at all. Xuan Bao didn't know how to comfort Xiao Yin, in fact, he also knew that Xiao Yin didn't need his comfort, because she also knew what she was thinking.

The body around her gradually became cold, Xiao Yin got up and sighed, and said to Xuan Bao: "Let's find a place to bury her here, there are more jackals in Mobei, don't die, there will not be a whole corpse left!"

Xuanbao nodded and looked around, in fact, there are places where dead people are buried here, just on the banks of the lower reaches of the glacier, there are many bulges covered by heavy snow, according to the location, it should be a grave.

picked up the woman, let Xiao Yin follow, and the two walked towards the cemetery. As soon as she walked up from the river, Xiao Yin suddenly screamed and almost fell to the ground!

Xuan Bao grabbed her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Xiao Yin didn't speak, just pointed to the side with a pale face.

A thin arm poked out of the snow, which had turned black and purple, and Xiao Yin almost tripped over this arm just now!

Xuanbao put the woman down, grabbed the snowflakes on the ground with his hands, and soon a person's body appeared, Xiaoyin covered his mouth, tears gushed down, and said to Xuanbao in a trembling voice: "Be careful, it is the one who died of the plague!"

It was just a little girl, about seven or eight years old, as thin as wood, and the skin all over her body had festered, all large and small blisters.

Although she was covered by heavy snow, she did not have very thick clothes on her body, and the clothes were ragged, and it was even unclear whether she froze to death or died of illness.

There were passers-by around, and when they saw this scene, they all looked indifferent and not strange, and one of the old men with blisters on his face stopped, muttered a few words to Xuan Bao, and then left.

Xiao Yin let go of the hand covering her mouth, took a deep breath, and said to Xuan Bao: "He said don't care about these people, because there are many such corpses by the river, and you can't finish moving! Without the glacial water, the plague will be raging, and your medicine can't eradicate this plague at all, so let's find a way to break the glacial river!"

Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin were shocked in their hearts, and turned their heads to look at the banks of the glacier covered by heavy snow, under this heavy snow, there were really a lot of corpses hidden?

But what did the old man mean by that? Why did he say that only glacial water could cure the plague, and who was giving them medicine?

"It should be the ghost hand and the aunt!" Xuan Bao said to Xiao Yin excitedly, although it was just a guess, it should not be wrong. So Xiao Yin also nodded, looked at Xuanbao and said, "Bury them first, I'll ask the old man!"

Xuanbao nodded and picked up the little girl as well, not caring in the slightest that she had received the plague. He wasn't even afraid of demonic poison, how could he be afraid of this little plague!

He was not mistaken, there were indeed many graves on it, so he first found a place, put the woman and the little girl down in turn, and then took out a hoe from the original realm, and dug a hole in the snow.

No matter how many dead people there are on this embankment, since he has found them and encountered them, he will let these dead bodies be buried in the ground. The Zombie Wilderness is really not something he can turn a blind eye to!

Xiao Yin soon came back, buried the two corpses with Xuan Bao, and then stood in front of the grave and said to him: "It should be the ghost hand and the aunt, but it is not only the two of them, because the old man said that there were about twenty people who used to deliver medicine to the whole city by the ice river." It's just that those medicines can't get rid of the plague at all, and Tongtian Immortal Gu said that only the water of the glacier can get rid of the poison of the plague, and it is better to use the guinea fish to suck away the poison of the plague on the body! The gang didn't let them use it, saying that the glacial water was poisonous, and the guinea fish were also poisonous, and they were just absorbing the vitality of people, not driving away the poison, so the people of the whole city drove those people away!"

"What do you think about this?" Xuan Bao looked at Xiao Yin, in this regard, she was the most vocal.

Xiao Yin thought for a while and whispered: "I have seen the blisters on the old man's face, which are the symptoms of the plague, the blisters all over the body in the early stage, and the whole body ulcers and dies in the back! I can see that it is indeed poison, as for what poison, I am not sure. There must be one of them who is lying, if the person who delivers the medicine is a ghost, then Tongtian Immortal Gu is lying, and the purpose is unknown!"

"If it weren't for the ghost hand delivering the medicine, then Tongtian Immortal Gu might be the one who saved the people!" Xuan Bao added to Xiao Yin, smiled, looked at her and said, "So let's find out what kind of plague this is now!"
