"What's wrong? I don't see anything, don't say it's so scary, okay? Zhang Wei didn't want to come in at the beginning, but now she is obviously resistant.

"It's really weird, like here." Xie Chongning pointed to the painting on the wall.

"Yes, there's a thick layer of dust everywhere else, but this painting is clean." Mu Yao echoed and said, and pointed to Wuchen and Zhang Wei.

This ancestral hall has not been cleaned all year round, but the painting is not normal, Mu Yao sighed in his heart, the ancients have always attached great importance to what is behind him, but this Guangping Hou doesn't care much.

"Strange, how can this be." Mu Yao opened the painting and looked at it, it was just an ordinary cabinet, and thought for a moment, his eyes wandered, as if he was looking for something, until he walked to a table and twisted a candlestick.

The cabinet behind the "Boom ......" painting opened, and Mu Yao thought to herself, costume TV series are not all lies.

Zhang Wei was surprised: "What's going on?" ”

"In the same way, the other candlesticks have not been moved for a long time, and they are all dusty, but this one is relatively clean, and there are traces of twisting in the circle under the candlestick."

Mu Yao explained a few words briefly, and the four of them approached and found that it was a staircase down, and there were unburned candles on the walls on both sides, as well as a little fire.

"Corpses." Dustless suddenly spoke, it was a rotten smell that was disgusting.

"Corpses?" Everyone was puzzled.

"What I smell is the smell of corpses." Wuchen explained.

"This might be the dungeon we're looking for." Mu Yao's expression was solemn, if it was really as Wuchen said, then this place would be hell on earth.

People who have been infected with the disease, people who have been exposed to the disease, are trapped here, watching their companions groan and even die every day, for whom this place may be more terrible than hell.

A few people walked down again, and gradually heard some faint moans, and the sound of iron chains, and the four of them saw that the people in the cells were chained hand and foot, each of them with a face like ashes, and their eyes were mostly resigned to fate, and there was a trace of horror, and the innermost room was actually stacked with the corpses of dead people.

"Ahhhh Zhang Wei screamed in fright when she saw this scene.

Even Mu Yao and Xie Chongning couldn't help but look ugly when they saw such a scene. Xie Chongning tore off the strip of cloth on his body, handed it to Mu Yao, and asked her to cover her mouth and nose.

"Amitabha." Wuchen silently closed his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, we are here to save you." Mu Yao came back to her senses and shouted.

I don't know if they have been locked up for a long time or have already accepted their fate, the people in the dungeon didn't react at all when they heard this, but just rolled their eyes to prove that they were still alive.

Some people hold on to their children who have obviously been dead for a long time and refuse to let go, and some people are even gnawing on corpses, and if this continues, whether there is an epidemic or not, they will be infected.

"This is Lord Xie, a third-grade official sent by the emperor to investigate the epidemic, this is a dustless master, he has excellent medical skills, he is here to help everyone treat diseases, and we are here to save everyone." Hearing Mu Yao say this, some people began to move.

"You guys, are you telling the truth?" The nearest old man asked tremblingly.

"There is no lie." Xu is Mu Yao's eyes were too firm, or maybe the sad expressions on their faces were too real, and the old man finally nodded.

"It's just a death, you might as well believe them, maybe ......," the old man persuaded with tears in his eyes, "Perhaps, God sent someone to save us." ”

When people can't see hope, they will involuntarily pin their hopes on God, so that they can have the motivation to support themselves to live.

"If God had eyes, he would not let the wicked go unpunished, and let us poor and helpless never see hope."

Most people still look like they are destined for their lives, after all, in their opinion, even if they leave here, they will not be able to cure their own diseases.

Mu Yao looked out anxiously, Guangping Hou was not a fool, the fire didn't last long at all, and when he came back to his senses, he would realize that something was wrong.

At that time, if you want to leave, it will be too late.

"Listen to me, since you are dying, why don't you fight? Even if you die with the wicked, it's better than dying here silently, isn't it? ”

Just like a soldier, he has always believed that he died on the battlefield and returned his body in horse-leather, rather than dying on the couch.

"That's right! You're right! The young man who was holding the old man said angrily, "Why should we wait here for death when that wicked man is so happy?" If you have a chance to live, you must live! We have to watch the wicked man be slashed by a thousand swords! ”

"Exactly! Come, everyone go out first, Lord Xie will help, and Master Wuchen will find a way, go quickly! Mu Yao and his party opened the cell door while comforting the people who were released.

"My lord, except for those who are dead and unwilling to leave, the rest are here." The young man just now choked up, and then looked back at the corpses piled up and the rest of the people.

Xie Chongning frowned slightly, most of the people who were unwilling to leave were already terminally ill, even if they went out, I am afraid they would not be cured, but they were living people, if they gave up on them, he couldn't do it, and Mu Yao wouldn't allow it.

"Get up!" Mu Yao walked over and tried to help those people up, but was avoided.

"My lord, madam," the leader had tears in his eyes, panting heavily, affectionately painful, "My wife and son have already left, and I am about to die, leaving will only drag everyone back." ”

"Don't!"

The rest of the people hit the wall one after another, the blood stains spread, and the entire dungeon smelled of blood, Mu Yao stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and his body stiffened in place.

"Yao'er, let's go!"

Xie Chongning covered Mu Yao's eyes and forcibly took her out of the dungeon, the fresh life disappeared from front of her eyes, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

Mu Yao cheered up, it was not that she had never seen a dead person, but she had never seen such a drastic way to end her life.

"Don't panic for a while, because there are many people, and if you are not careful, you will be discovered, you must listen to our command, and we will take everyone out safely" Mu Yao said with grief.

On the other side, the Marquis of Guangping looked at the person kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Repeat, where have they gone?"

"Master Hou, when I rushed back, the brother who stayed behind was knocked unconscious, and there was no ...... in the dungeon except for the corpse There is no one else. "The kneeling man was the old man guarding the dungeon, and he was crying out at this time.

I didn't expect to be played by a woman, if those people can't be found, the Marquis of Guangping will not let them go.

"Master Hou, Xie Chongning and a few people are gone." The butler ran back and said through gritted teeth, "However, our people in the shadows should not have been discovered yet." ”

"Hmph, Xie Chongning wants to escape under my nose, but I don't know that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind."

Guangping Hou sneered, today's fire burned many valuables in the warehouse, and those who were no different from the dead were taken away, these accounts, he would settle them with Xie Chongning one by one.

Mu Yao and his party didn't walk far away, and some people couldn't hold on, so they had to stop first.

"There is a temple in front," Mu Yao pointed to the distance and said, "It seems that there is no one to worship all year round, and because of the remote location, ordinary people will not come here, so it is better to settle down in the temple first." ”

It is also not suitable for people to move around, and it would be contrary to their original purpose to infect others.

Everyone nodded and walked to the temple to rest.

Wuchen carried some pills on his body and handed them to Xie Chongning and the others, "These can only temporarily avoid the epidemic, if you want to treat it, you need other medicinal materials." ”

Mu Yao took the pill, she only felt a heavy mood, she thought that the epidemic in Yancheng might be serious, but she just thought that when she really saw it with her own eyes, it was still difficult to accept.

"I'm going to look for herbs." After Wuchen finished distributing the pills, he got up and went to look for the medicinal herbs.

"My lord, do you think things are going too well?"

Mu Yao recalled what happened today, according to the previous conjecture, the Marquis of Guangping should have been carefully arranged, and although the fire caught him off guard, it was not so strong that he had no power to resist at all.

These people are related to the life and death of the Marquis of Guangping, and he will not let it go easily. So, what else did he do?

"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." Xie Chongning laid the grass for Mu Yao and motioned for her to sit down.

"Adults also think something is wrong?"

After getting along with Xie Chongning for so long, Mu Yao also felt some of his temperament, Xie Chongning's words obviously felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't do anything with these patients.

The only way is to delay the time, pinning the hope on Ah Yuan, the news can be sent, if it goes well, the people in the capital should also be about to arrive.

"I'm afraid they won't last long."

Mu Yao looked at the people not far away worriedly, although they were temporarily out of the dungeon, they suddenly came into contact with the sunlight outside, which made many people feel uncomfortable and rested with their eyes closed.

"Believe in dustlessness."

After tossing for a long time, the sky was almost dawn, and the tight strings were sent down, Mu Yao unconsciously leaned on Xie Chongning's shoulder, sleeping sweetly.

Xie Chongning didn't get a response for a long time, only then did he find that Mu Yao had fallen asleep, if there was a noise at this time, Mu Yao would definitely wake up, so he simply kept his body straight.

"Your ......, my lord"

"Silence."

Before Zhang Wei could speak, she was blocked back by Xie Chongning, standing in place at a loss, not knowing what to do for a while.

Seeing that Xie Chongning had no intention of talking to her, he had to whisper: "My lord, I'm just afraid of you...... I caught a cold with my wife and found some dry firewood. ”

"Thank you."

After saying that, Xie Chongning closed his eyes, supported Mu Yao's head, leaned back slightly, leaned on the pillar, and no longer paid attention to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei bit her lip unwillingly, she did so many things, but instead of being favored by Xie Chongning, she let Mu Yao take advantage of her.

The others were also packed up and rested together with each other, but they were very far away from Xie Chongning and the others, as if they were afraid of infecting them.
