Dongfang Yi followed the displaced people all the way to a small village, which did not seem to be swallowed up by the flood, but people also heard about the plague nearby, and everyone's faces were still worried.

Seeing so many refugees fleeing here, they were a little afraid that they would carry the plague on them and spread it to the people here.

"Excuse me......" Dongfang Yi originally wanted to inquire about Nalan Jin's situation, but before he could speak, the people here avoided one after another.

Although Dongfang Yi was a little disappointed, he could still understand their approach, sighed helplessly, and prepared to interrogate the others.

The others saw Dongfang Yi's intentions, and before he could open his mouth, they pulled the people around him to dodge.

"Mother, why don't you answer the big brother's question?" The child asked innocently.

"Don't talk nonsense if children are not sensible, remember it in the future, don't talk to strangers casually, do you hear?" The woman whispered to educate the child, but Dongfang Yi heard it clearly.

"Why?" The child does not understand.

"They are all bad people, they specialize in snatching children, and if you are robbed, you will never see your parents again." The woman began to frighten the child.

"No, I want a mother." The child was frightened and hurriedly hugged the woman.

"Then you will be obedient and follow your mother quickly." The woman took the child and walked away quickly.

"But I don't think big brother is a bad person." The child glanced back at Dongfang Yi as he ran.

"Do you know what is good and bad is what a child is? Hurry up, don't talk. The woman forcibly took the child away.

Dongfang Yi saw that he couldn't find out the whereabouts of Nalan Jin from these people's mouths, so he had to look for Nalan Jin's traces here.

The vigilance of the people is quite high, and the people of the whole village are also very Qin, seeing that there are outsiders, every household burns wormwood to prevent the spread of the plague in advance.

Everyone covers their mouths and noses when they go out, especially when they eat Fang Mian, to avoid contact with Dongfang Yi and them in the same water source, and also control the only well in the village to prevent Dongfang Yi from touching them.

But there were also some elderly people who saw Dongfang Yi constantly looking around, so they asked curiously.

"Young man, what are you looking for after coming to us for so long?" The old man sat on the steps in front of the door and asked with an old look.

"Auntie, have you ever seen a woman who is similar to me and has a foreign accent come here?" Dongfang Yi walked up to the old man and raised his voice slightly.

The old man saw Dongfang Yi shouting at him, and his face was a little angry. Although the old man is old, the most climbing thing is to be treated as an old man, and he feels a little flattened invisibly.

"Why are you so loud, don't you see that I'm old, my ears are very good, I can hear what you say." The old man glared at Dongfang Yi angrily.

Only then did Dongfang Yi realize that his behavior was a bit mocking, and hurriedly apologized to the old lady.

"I didn't say you

Old, it's because I'm born with poor hearing, so I'm a bit loud when I speak. Dongfang Yi covered his ears and pretended not to hear.

Lao Ren looked Dongfang Yi up and down, seeing that he was dressed as a homeless person, dirty from head to toe, and he still had a little scholarly temperament between his eyebrows.

However, in this time when the plague is rampant, even the emperor Lao Tzu will not help.

"Seeing that you don't seem to mean it, I'll forgive you once. Tell me, what the hell are you looking for? The old man was puzzled, thinking that Dongfang Yi was a horse thief.

"Have you ever seen a girl with such a high grid and dressed like me?" Dongfang Yi raised his hand and gestured on his shoulder.

"Isn't that right, dozens of people dressed like you pass by here every day, and there is no woman you said." The old man pointed to the group of homeless people in front of him and said.

Indeed, just like the old man said, Dongfang Yi and his group had just arrived here, and then a large number of people arrived here one after another, and from the perspective of dress, there was really nothing to distinguish.

"Think about it again, have you ever seen a woman with a similar accent to me?" Dongfang Yi described it in as much detail as possible.

The old man listened to Dongfang Yi's accent and recalled, and his forehead, which was originally dissatisfied with the wrinkles, wrinkled even more.

"It seems that there is such a person, but it seems that there is not, just the day before yesterday, a few people infected with the plague were thrown by the officers and soldiers to the nearby mountains, I don't know if there is this person you mentioned, you can go to the mountains to find it." The old man was in a trance, and he couldn't remember it very clearly.

As soon as Dongfang Yi heard that the people infected with the plague had been sent to the mountain, his heart immediately rose to his throat, and he kept praying and chanting silently in his heart, hoping that Nalan Jin would be fine.

"In what direction is the mountain?" Dongfang Yi's impatient inquiry.

"Go out from here and walk three miles to the west, but I think you should not go, we often have fierce beasts here at night, even if the person you are looking for is really there, there are probably no bones." The old man let out a long sigh and felt sorry for Dongfang Yi's arrival.

"No, it won't!"

Dongfang Yi shouted at the old man, and then ran all the way in the direction the old man said.

"Hey, it's okay if a good person can't hear it, and now his woman is being eaten again, it's really pitiful."

The old man looked at Dongfang Yi's back as he hurriedly ran away, and felt sorry for the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.

Dongfang Yi came to the mountain according to what the old man said, and after searching everywhere, he didn't find the place where the old man said to deal with people, but he saw some traces of people's reclamation, as if he was digging something.

Walking along the path that people walked out of the mountain, I suddenly heard a low moan, and I could smell the rancid smell when I looked at the source of the sound.

When I got closer, I saw that a large pit in front of me was full of dying patients.

They were pale, weak, and some even struggled to escape, but they didn't

There was a little strength that they had given up their resistance.

"Are you all from the neighborhood?" Dongfang Yi looked at the slightly breathing person and asked.

The man didn't even have the strength to speak and nod, just blinked weakly.

"Have you ever seen a woman so tall who doesn't speak with me with the same accent being thrown here?" Dongfang Yi pointed to himself and emphasized.

The man looked at Dongfang Yi, and then turned his head to the right with difficulty.

Dongfang Yi walked over and saw a woman lying on the ground, concerned and confused. He saw that the woman's clothes were a little similar to Nalan Jin's, so he thought it was Nalan Jin, so he hugged her and shouted.

"Jin'er, Jin'er, I'm Dongfang, you speak, Jin'er," Dongfang Yi hugged the woman and shouted eagerly.

The woman was shaken by Dongfang Yi and dropped a hairpin from her body, and he picked it up and saw that Nalan Jin had been wearing it and never left his body.

"Jin'er, I'm sorry for you, Jin'er, come back, don't leave me." Dongfang Yi held the hairpin tightly and cried heartbreakingly.

Dongfang Yi kept shaking the woman in his arms, and he was not afraid that her plague would infect him. Suddenly, something didn't feel right, something didn't feel right in my arms.

He collected his sadness, brushed the hair from the woman's face, and guessed that it was not Nalan Jin. I was pleasantly surprised, but I was sad in the blink of an eye.

If this is not Nalan Jin, how can there be her hairpin, if so, but the person in front of him is not Nalan Jin.

Dongfang Yi was very melancholy, and finally put down the woman and found that she had been out of breath for a long time. I found a pit in the open space next to it and buried her.

It should be to thank her for bringing Nalan Jin's hairpin, and to repay her a little affection.

Dongfang Yi tidied up his clothes, bowed to the humble tombstone, and then hid the hairpin in his arms and returned to the village.

"Don't, sir, my child is really just choking, not infected with the plague, don't take him away." The old woman held her child and begged the officers and soldiers.

"Are you a doctor? You say he doesn't have the plague, and he doesn't? I tell you, the plague is rampant now, and no suspicious person must be spared. The official reprimanded him severely.

"I can assure you that my child really hasn't contracted the plague." The old woman pulled the officers and soldiers and cried.

"Get out of the way, I said he was the plague, he was, take it away, throw it on the mountain and burn it to death, don't harm the others." The official kicked the old woman away.

"Please, don't take my child. He really didn't catch the plague. The old woman knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Recently, the plague has been rampant, and you have heard that the reason why we have not been infected here is because the precautions are well done, and we do not let go of any suspected cases, not because he is your child. Let everyone suffer with you. ”

The official mission mobilized the power of other people to create a sense of oppression for the old woman through external pressure, so that she was despised by others.

"The official is right, we don't want to die."

"That is, you can't be so selfish. You have to think about everyone. ”

"If my house finds someone infected with the plague. I will definitely not hesitate to let the official take it away. Provincial harm to everyone. ”

If it's really not on your own head, you'll talk cool on the sidelines. The words they said were conclusive, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring. But the old woman doesn't understand the righteousness of benevolence.

"You speak lightly, and anyone can speak, not really in your own body, of course you can say anything. In short, my child is free of pestilence, and I will not let you take him away and burn him to death. The old woman hugged her child tightly.

The official saw that the old woman was stubbornly resisting, so he simply took the child away by force.

The old woman saw that the situation was not right, so she hugged the child tightly and snatched it from the official to prevent them from taking the child away.

"Stop!"

Just when the official messenger was fighting for the child, Dongfang Yi came back and saw this inhuman scene, shouted, and came up to stop the official from returning the child to the old woman.

"In broad daylight, how can you forcibly harm innocent women and children." Dongfang Yi loudly blamed the official.
