The sudden flash of black shadows made everyone realize that there might still be living people in this Guanyi Village, which had already been judged to have no living mouth.

But not the original villagers of the village, everyone is not sure.

After all, the village was first ravaged by the plague and later sealed by the government, making it almost impossible to survive. It is possible that someone who fled from another place saw that there was no one in the village, so they stayed there.

The True King's men searched every house and soon found a boy in the cellar of a cottage.

When the boy was caught by the true king's men, his hair was already knotted, his clothes were ragged, his gait was staggering, and his mouth kept crying out for hunger.

Song Yi saw that he was already hungry and babbling, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare easy-to-digest millet porridge for him to eat.

After eating the porridge, the boy finally regained some of his senses, and looked at the people present, looking a little scared.

Song Yi understands that the on-site officials, officials, and guards are all officials in the eyes of ordinary people.

Song Yi understood that his fear was not faked.

So, Song Yi took the others away, left them alone, and asked, "How old are you?"

"Twelve," the boy said timidly.

Song Yi nodded, watching him look at him with suspicious eyes, and finally realized that he was dressed very strangely now.

So, Song Yi explained, "We are the ones who came to you. These garments are worn to prevent infection. ”

The boy seemed to understand a little, and did not speak, but only nodded and lowered his head.

Faced with the boy's sudden silence, Song Yi didn't know where he had said the wrong thing.

"What's your name?" Song Yi continued to ask.

"Liu Wang," the young man replied.

"I heard that the people here are all surnamed Liu?"

"Hmm," the boy said, crying.

This made Song Yi startled, "Liu Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"My father and mother are dead. Grandpa and grandma also died. Uncles, aunts, sisters, and brothers are all dead. Even Ah Huang is dead, and I am the only one left," the young man's words revealed desolation and grief.

Song Yi listened to such simple words, but he was even more uncomfortable.

She wanted to give the young Liu Wang some warmth, but she was afraid that her actions would surprise the other party. I could only choke up and say, "They all went to better places." You don't have to feel sorry for them. ”

"A better place?" The young man raised his red and swollen eyes and looked at Song Yi.

Song Yi saw the other party's clear eyes, and felt a sense of motherly love. A twelve-year-old boy should be a carefree child, but after a series of natural and man-made disasters, how will he face the rest of his life?

"I heard that good people go to Western Elysium when they die. They must have gone there too."

"Can I go then?" The boy asked.

"All good people can go after death"

"Oh, really?" The boy fell silent again.

"If I die now, will I be able to reunite with my family?" The boy suddenly said something.

After saying this, Song Yi's heart suddenly became nervous.

What he said then was nonsense, isn't the young man in front of him serious? Is he going to do something stupid?

Song Yi felt that he had an obligation to stop him from this bad idea, so he turned the young man around and faced himself, "Liu Wang, listen to me"

The young man looked at Song Yi a little ignorant and sluggishly, Song Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I know, everyone in your village is dead, you are very sad." But have you ever wondered, why, you survived? Could it be that your family and the whole village are protecting you? The dangers of the plague, you have seen with your own eyes. You're lucky to survive. Can you let down your family and live a good life? Song Yi knew that he was lying to the child by saying this. But she really couldn't think of any reason to give a 12-year-old boy who had lost a loved one the courage and hope to live.

She could only use lies to convince the boy that he would not be infected by the plague, that he would be able to starve, and that he would live until the arrival of the true king, and that it was his relatives who protected him in heaven.

Song Yi knew that the entire Qian Dynasty trusted Buddhism, so she had to seek the power of religion when she had no choice, so that the hard-working young man in front of her would give up the idea of committing suicide.

Liu Wang listened to Song Yi's words, and tears fell. Caught in painful memories, he muttered, "We were living well." However, one day, someone in the village had a high fever, coughing, runny nose, limb weakness, and gibberish. The people in the village thought that the sick man had a severe chill. But unexpectedly, soon, people in the village all had the same symptoms one after another. Someone fell, someone died"

"And then more and more people got sick and more and more people died. The village chief reported it to the county government, and the people from the county government came to our village, walked around the outside and left. We thought we would get help soon, but the next day, the village was blocked by a group of officials, and a checkpoint was set up at the entrance of the village to prevent the villagers from leaving."

"My father and mother and I were very scared, and my sister also started to have a fever at that time. The people in the village were terrified, and some people said that my sister had the plague. The village was cursed, and everyone was going to die. My father and mother are afraid that I will also be infected. So he hid me in the cellar and wouldn't let me come out. ”

"I was obedient and I hid in. But my father and mother also fell ill, and soon all the people in the village died. I was the only one left alive. I had been hiding in the cellar, eating the dry food that my father and mother had prepared. But soon, the dry food was eaten and the water was drunk. I had to venture out in search of food. ”

"But when I came out of the cellar, I found that the village was empty. Even the corpse capital was gone, and the village was burned to the ground. Thankfully, it rained so hard that my cellar was not destroyed by the fire, and I was lucky enough to survive. Without food, I had to gnaw on tree bark, eat rats, and avoid patrolling officers and soldiers. During the day I have to hide in the cellar, and at night I can come out and move."

"I didn't dare to live, I was afraid that the light of the fire would attract the attention of officers and soldiers. I didn't dare to go out because I was afraid that I would be caught by the officers and soldiers and locked up. I could only hide in the village and did not dare to go out. Until I met you guys. Sister, who are you? Why are you with those officers and soldiers. And those officers and soldiers are still very polite to you? ”

The young Liu Wang finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Song Yi did not hide it, and revealed his identity, "I am the real princess." This time, the emperor sent the true king to investigate the plague in Bazhong.

"The true king?" The young Liu Wang chewed these two words repeatedly, as if he suddenly realized something.

"Sister Princess, you must make decisions for my father and mother, and for the people of my village. There are a lot of people in our village, and they all starve to death in the end."

Liu Wang cried and shouted grievances, alarming the true king Zhu Xi, who had been not far away.
