Chapter 345: The Plague [2]

Su Wan felt his scalp tingle.

Bi walked to a grave, crouched down and carefully observed the back road; "This grave must be more than a month old."

Su Wan Dao; "The villagers disappeared from the village almost a month ago, so these graves can't really be those villagers', right?"

The group was terrified, if these new graves really belonged to the villagers, what happened in the village more than a month ago, causing almost all the villagers to die.

The people Su Wan wanted to bury the dead villagers were definitely the villagers of this village, and if they were travelers passing by like them, they would never bury these villagers in this cemetery.

And in front of each grave was a wooden tombstone.

There is not a word written on the tombstone.

A gust of wind blew, and Su Wan grabbed Chu Mohan's sleeve tighter.

Ye Youjing noticed that Su Wan seemed to be a little scared, and he spoke; "No matter how these villagers died, we can't stay in this village tonight, Anseong is not far ahead, let's go directly to Anseong."

Chu Mohan nodded; "I also don't think this village can stay."

The group decided to go directly to Anseong.

The group walked through the village and returned to the entrance to the village.

Su Wan and Leng Xue'er sat in the carriage, Chu Mohan and the others turned over on their horses, and the group headed in the direction of Ancheng.

Inside the carriage, Su Wan saw that Leng Xue'er's face was a little not good, and said with concern; "Miss Leng, I see that your face is not very good, is there something wrong with your body?"

Leng Xue'er shook her head; "Thank you for the care of the Night Princess, my body is not uncomfortable, I just ......"

Leng Xue'er's eyes drooped slightly; "I just saw the graves of those villagers, and I thought of the villagers in Syracuse, and I don't know how the villagers are now."

Leng Xue'er sighed; "They tried to cover my escape, but I was still caught by that person, and the book of the ghost pill also fell into the hands of that person."

Su Wan reached out to hold Leng Xue'er's hand and comforted; "The villagers of Snowy Village will be safe, they must be waiting for you to go back now."

Leng Xue'er's eyes were slightly red; "Well, the villagers will be safe, it's just ...... The book with the ghost pill written on it had already fallen into that person's hands. ”

Leng Xue'er felt very guilty in her heart, that book was something that the villagers of Syracuse had protected for generations, and it was taken away by her generation, Leng Xue'er didn't know how to face the villagers of Syracuse Village, how to face the sacrificed villagers, and how to face the ancestors.

Suddenly, Leng Xue'er felt that Su Wan's hand holding her hand tightened a little.

Su Wan's hands were very warm, which reminded Leng Xue'er of the previous witch in Syracuse Village.

Each generation of shrine maidens in Syracuse Village is orphaned, fatherless and motherless, and the previous witch will choose one of the girls in the village who have no parents to raise by their side.

Snow Lady is the last witch in Syracuse Village.

Xue Niang's mother is a villager in Snow City Village, and Xue Niang's father, no one from Snow City Village has ever seen her.

Xue Niang's mother longed for life outside of Syracuse Village, so she left the village.

Time passed, and four years after Xue Niang's mother left the village, she suddenly returned to the village, but there was a little girl less than a year old by her side, and this little girl was Xue Niang.

The people in the village asked who Xue Niang's father was, and Xue Niang's mother said with a sad face that the child's father had died in an accident.

The people in the village sympathized with the mother and daughter, and the villagers tried their best to help the mother and daughter.

It's just that Xue Niang's mother died of a serious illness not long after returning to the village.

The one-year-old Xue Niang became, an orphan without a father and mother, and the witch at that time felt that Xue Niang had lost her parents at such a young age, so she took her in.

At that time, the witch didn't plan to let Xue Niang inherit the position of the next witch at first.

Xue Niang is talented and intelligent, whether it is martial arts or poetry, she can learn it.

At that time, the shrine maiden felt that the snow maiden was a manufacturable material, and the snow maiden inherited the position of the shrine maiden.

Her father died in an accident when she was three years old.

Seeing that she was pitiful, Xue Niang took her in.

Unlike Xue Niang, she was directly taught by Xue Niang as the next witch.

Xue Niang is both a strict teacher and a loving mother to her.

She didn't care what others would think of her, she was afraid of what Xue Niang would think of her.

After a night's drive, the group arrived outside Anseong before dawn.

Su Wan and Leng Xue'er in the carriage could have rested, but the two of them didn't sleep all night.

Su Wan saw that Leng Xue'er's mood was a little low, so she kept chatting with her along the way.

The two chatted all night, and Leng Xue'er's mood seemed to be much better than before.

Just as the group was about to enter the city, they were stopped by a guard guarding the city.

The guards guarding the city glanced at the group and saw that several people were dressed luxuriously, and at a glance, they knew that the group was either rich or expensive.

The guards of the city smiled brightly; "You're going into town?"

Bi Xiaoyao pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice; "Nonsense, we don't go into the city, are we here to visit this city gate."

Although Bi Xiaoyao's voice was not loud, the guard guarding the city heard it clearly.

The guards guarding the gates still had smiles on their faces.

"Where are you from?"

Bi Xiaoyao replied coldly with two words; "The capital."

The guard guarding the gates continued to ask; "Where are you going?"

Bi frowned in displeasure; "I'll tell you where we're going."

The guard guarding the city gate was a little upset when he saw Bi Yao, and explained; "This is the order of the county order, why should the son be embarrassed."

Bi Xiaoyao opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when Chu Mohan spoke before him; "We're going all the way north, but what happened, and why is it so strict to enter the city?"

The guard guarding the gate sighed; "Childe doesn't know, there has been a strange outbreak in several villages near Ancheng recently, so the county magistrate has strengthened the investigation of entering the city."

"Strange disease?" Bi Xiaoyao thought of the village that no longer had villagers to live in, and asked; "What's weird?"

The guards guarding the city gate glanced at Bi Xiaoyao; "You must have passed through a village before you came here, right?"

Bi Xiaoyao nodded; "Hmm."

"The villagers of that village did not know what strange disease they had contracted and in just a few days, almost all the villagers in the village died, and only a few villagers survived."

Su Wan in the carriage heard the words of the guard guarding the city gate, and thought to himself, that strange thing those new tombs were almost a month ago.

Chu Mo Handao; "A villager in a village died of illness in just a few days, and the county magistrate did not send anyone to find out the situation."

the guarded road that guards the gates; "For such a big matter, the county magistrate naturally sent someone to find out the situation, and after some investigation, he didn't find out what kind of disease those villagers had."
