In May, Nanshan Village is still gloomy, but the snow has melted, and the fields have begun to be busy. All kinds of work before spring ploughing are being carried out in an orderly manner. Because of the formation of Qingling cloth, the people in the village were relieved, when Xirong's large army swept in, and occasionally scattered scouts passed by, they did not find anything strange in Nanshan Village. The people in the village suddenly felt a sense of security.

The attention of every household began to shift, and then they wasted their energy in the field. This year's abnormal weather has made everyone realize that this year's harvest is difficult. Everyone is more worried that the disaster year will last for several years, and they don't know how to survive the rest of the day.

However, their village is calculated, at least they have avoided the war disaster, guarded their home, guarded a few acres of land, how can they have a little harvest.

For the next few months, no one in Nanshan Village went out, busy farming, waiting for the seeds to sprout. It was finally unearthed, but everyone couldn't help but be frustrated when they saw it. The survival rate of these seeds is only halfway through. Everyone should seize the time to replant. The survival rate of the seeds of the Qingling family is better than that of other families in the village, reaching 70%.

I don't know what the situation is outside, most of the seeds in Nanshan Village have been improved by Qingling, and Qingling sometimes dilutes the spiritual liquid purified from the air to nourish the land, under such conditions, the yield of Nanshan Village is so serious, let alone other places.

The situation outside is indeed not good, Xirong is menacing, burning and looting along the way, and the Jiaqing Dynasty has declined because of the emperor's old age, and the forces led by the princes have begun to fight for power and profit. The contradictions of the upper group led to repeated defeats in the war.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the great powers of the Central Plains began to collapse, and the royal family fled south with high-ranking officials and nobles. The partiality is still being chased by Xijon and is now in danger. These aristocratic royals still have a place to escape, and the poor people are the common people. It's really better to be a peace dog than a troubled world.

When Nanshan Village is done, it is free. I haven't been out for four or five months, and everyone wants to know what's going on outside. After a year, when the formation fails, they also have to be prepared.

In the end, it was decided that Su Jingyun would take some young adults in the village to go out to explore, and by the way, he would also experience the people in the village, and he would also have more helpers in the future

Qingling didn't go with them, she also had to be busy, she had to be busy studying the aura fluctuations, making more talismans, and combing what she had learned in the Xiuzhen world before with the current situation. This time, the Su family went to Su Jingyun, he has always practiced martial arts, and the other brothers of the Su family were not very concerned about practicing martial arts before, and their force value was limited, so they did not go out together this time, but brought the two brothers of the Tian family who they bought back before. The two of them are very talented in martial arts, the eldest brother Tian Dashu's knife skills are weird and changeable, and the younger brother Tian Xiaoshu is good at holding knives in both hands, and his speed is unexpectedly fast.

Su Jingyun was about to go out, so Qingling began to pack up his things. Qingling also put the various pills in the package, and then brought the protective charm that she had just made to Su Jingyun, and told her for a long time.

Several children were also reluctant to watch on the side, and Brother Yao was young and directly hugged Su Jingyun's thighs and coquettish.

When the people in the village came to shout, Su Jingyun had no choice but to coax the child, reluctantly glanced at Qingling, and went out with the package.

The group walked out of the village for five or six hours, and there was no one to be seen along the way. When passing by the county seat, the county seat was even more dilapidated, and there was still no one, so everyone rested for a while and ate some dry food, and continued on the road. They were going to go a little further and take a look.

I don't know how long I walked, but it was getting late, and there was a pond not far away, the water was half dry, and the black silt emitted a disgusting stench in the sun. The pond was covered with weeds, and a dozen paces away were the corpses of hungry people, all of them with thin limbs, gray faces, and dry like skeleton monsters.

Seeing that they were all carrying wooden sticks in their hands, wearing shabby cotton clothes, black whirring and full of holes, walking fluttering, it was obvious that they were very hungry. The faces of the two of them were swollen, and it was difficult to see what they looked like, but their eyes were shining green, like evil wolves.

Seeing this situation, everyone was silent, if it weren't for the Su family and Qingling, they might be like this now, becoming a dry bone.

Not only that, but from time to time there were lodging starvations along the way, each corpse was dry and thin, with deep-set eye sockets, and many of the dead bodies had been stripped of their clothes, revealing ribs and dry bodies.

The corpses that had been dead for a long time turned into yellow-black bones earlier, and all kinds of inexplicable bugs crawled in and out of the bones. It's shocking.

Su Jingyun and his party walked for a few days, and they were about to arrive at Yangping City, where they had arrived before.

The group became vigilant as they saw new footprints on the road. Walking into Yangping City, you will see that it has been destroyed by war. There are traces of burning, killing and looting everywhere. There was still blood on the walls, but strangely there were no bodies here.

Soon, however, they saw a group of ragged and unkempt people at the official office in Yangping City.

There were men and women, young and old, the old man with a sad face, his clothes were full of holes, his empty eyes revealed despair of life, and some children were also described as withered, with a big head on his head, and his limbs were as thin as firewood.

In short, everyone was frail, weak, and unclothed.

It turned out to be a group of refugees, standing behind a half-collapsed wall. When I saw them, my eyes lit up after I was stunned, but after a while, I began to look at them in fear and fear.

Su Jingyun and the others were also surprised, and observed the neighborhood, these people were all standing in the outer courtyard of the official office, and there were fireworks rising in the inner courtyard, and there were people inside.

Seeing Su Jingyun and them walking by, these people suddenly showed a look of vigilance, and the women and children hid behind the men one after another. After walking in, Su Jingyun and their hearts were a little calmer, most of them were women and children, all of them were weak and weak. It could be the people fleeing the famine in the same place.

Among them, I saw a man who looked like a scholar, about forty or fifty years old, with gray hair, wearing a scarf, wearing a robe full of patches, with a wrinkled face, and a look of great vicissitudes. There is a bit of the taste of people in the official mansion in his expression

A few dusty children dodged behind them. There are still more than a dozen men in this group, but they look weak.

Su Jingyun was relieved a lot, some people outside are not a problem, the question is who are inside, it should be someone with some ability, who dares to make a fire and make something to eat when there are so many victims outside.

Su Jingyun and the two brothers of the Tian family held the sharpened firewood knife, stepped up the steps lightly, and looked inside the door.

The door was half-covered, but it was on the wall, but he couldn't see the situation inside, he and the two brothers of the Tian family glanced at each other, and the eldest brother of the Tian family touched it in first with a firewood knife.

He pushed open the door, the cardinal creaking, and turned away from the wall.

Su Jingyun and the younger brother of the Tian family followed behind, the courtyard was quite large, and there were dilapidated wings on both sides, and then saw a lobby in front of them, which was full of smoke, and it seemed that someone was making a fire in the lobby to make food.

Su Jingyun heard the eldest brother of the Tian family shout: "Is there anyone......" and then the voice was cut off as if choked by something.

Su Jingyun and the two of them were stunned, he rushed up the steps, looked inside, and immediately felt terrified. Inside it was like a slaughterhouse, with a man tied to a pillar. No, it's no longer a human, but a skeleton with flesh cut off from it. There were shelves here and there, on which hung a human body, a man, a woman, and a child, just as a pig was sold and a pork was sold.

There was also black-brown blood all over the floor, and the smell was disgusting. In particular, there is a person tied to the pillar on the right, and it can be seen that the owner of the body turned out to be a woman, at this time, the bones are white, only one head is intact, and she has a pair of dead fish eyes facing Su Jingyun, which makes people's scalp numb.

Then a cauldron was placed in the middle of the hall, steaming.

Four men were busy inside, one by the shelf, and two by the pot. The green glowing eyes have no humanity in them. "Yo, there's a guest."

Only then did Su Jingyun see the appearance of the three men, it was actually Xirong, one of them was wearing a felt hat, wearing cotton armor, carrying a waist knife, and there were double inserts on their bodies, and one of them seemed to have Zhang Qiang's bow in the bow pot. The remaining three wore short armor and carried waist knives.

Tian Da raised the firewood knife in his hand when he set it up, and Su Jingyun was also on guard.

The one with the strong bow seems to be the leader of the four, looking at Su Jingyun and the three of them, several of them winked at each other, and said with a smile: "When you come officially, you just want to cook a pot of meat, fresh is better?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the three men next to him rushed up with their knives, Su Jingyun and the two two brothers also rushed up, one spun, and the knife light turned into a match with the strength of his waist, and he listened to the sound of the flesh and bones being cut, and then the blood splattered violently, spilling like a fountain.

One of the men screamed, and a bloody shoulder was chopped off by Su Jingyun, and the hand above was still holding a knife. Su Jingyun also quickly seized the opportunity, made up for it with one sword, and ended one.

On the other side, Tian Dashu shouted, holding a firewood knife at a tricky angle, and slashed at the neck of one of the Xirongs with all his strength, and blood splattered out.

Tian Xiaoshu also opened and closed widely, Tian Xiaoshu's knife slashed down again, and the cotton armor on the body of the Xirong thief played a protective role. Tian was stunned for a moment, and the arm holding the knife was scratched, but Tian also reacted very quickly and took the knife with his right hand and stabbed it in the fatal place. The Xijon thieves were all surprised when they fell, but they didn't expect to meet a man with a double knife.

As soon as he saw the situation, the soldier with the strong bow had already taken the bow and shot three arrows towards Su Jingyun. The two brothers of the Tian family were anxious and remorseful, one shouted and hurried up, slashed at the Xijon people, and the other flew away, wanting to cut off the arrow. But it didn't work out.

Su Jingyun, who was extremely dangerous, quickly swung his knife to knock down one of the arrows, twisting his body to avoid one of the arrows, but there was still an arrow in his eyes that he was unable to dodge. Suddenly, a pale golden protective shield appeared on Su Jingyun's body, and the arrows that came quickly fell to the ground with a snap.

The protective talisman that Su Jingyun was carrying also turned into ashes in an instant. Su Jingyun understood.

The two brothers of the Tian family were also relieved, and they attacked the Xirong people together, and with a loud bang, a firewood knife smashed on the leader's head, and immediately his turban was sunken down with the skull, and then his body made a heavy sound of falling to the ground.

The man struggled against the wall, but he couldn't get up, and after the knife and stick, the blood on his body kept gushing, and finally the man did not move.
