Chapter 48: Clues
A group of people in Xie Mansion prepared seriously, and they didn't know if they could get through this difficulty for a while.
On the other side, Su Jingyun successfully eliminated the bandits gathered in Zhangjia Village, everyone will now obey orders and cooperate with each other, and only two were seriously injured after a battle.
There was no way, he picked up eight more women, in their teens and twenties. The family was killed by these bandits, and the painful experience after being caught made several people stupid, and after being found by Su Jingyun and them, they were like puppets who listened to orders, and followed them stupidly all the way, calling for food and food.
Slowly feeling that this group of people is different from the previous bandits, they will not do anything to them, so they can regain some of their charm.
There were eight more mouths in one trip, which made Su Jingyun very helpless, and he couldn't leave people alone, but fortunately, Dujingyun took people to reclaim a lot of land, they produced seeds, and the people in the village took the initiative to help, so they had some confidence. I'm afraid that I will encounter a situation like this.
The situation outside is getting worse and worse, and it is also weird, some places are yellow, and in some places, the original small plants have suddenly become very tall, not ordinary tall, Su Jingyun's memory has never been bad, he clearly remembered that the last time they passed by this road, the tree on the side was originally only more than one meter high, and now it has suddenly grown into a big tree more than three meters high.
In a scorched and dry area, a large tree suddenly appeared, and its green branches swayed slightly in the wind. casting a shade and trying to tempt people to rest under him. It's too unusual. Su Jingyun didn't let people get too close to the tree, but avoided it from a distance. Even though the sun is not small now, everyone is sweating along the way, although everyone is a little greedy for the green, but Su Jingyun did not let him rest, and everyone continued to hurry.
Walking about thirty or forty meters away from the tree, Su Jingyun was letting everyone rest. After half an hour, I continued on my way, but I returned to the village, safer, and with the wounded.
But there was some gain, and what made Su Jingyun happy was that this time he also confiscated two boxes of money, which contained silver, gems, and some jade, two of which were of good quality. He also knows some of Qingling's skills, many talismans, and if jade is used in the array, the effect is much better.
Thinking of going back to Qingling and seeing these jades, I must be very happy. I couldn't help but walk faster, and I didn't wait for the people to return to the village immediately.
When Su Jingyun returned to the village, Qingling took Mingzhu to see the two wounded and prescribed medicine. Mingzhu has been learning medicine with Qingling recently, compared to Su Jingyun, Mingzhu's talent for studying medicine is much higher, Qingling is very happy, you must know that the rest of the Su family is not very interested in medicine.
Su Jingyun also learned a little, so that he could accompany Qingling to collect medicine. But the in-depth study is gone. Even a few small ones in the family, Qingling also taught pharmacological knowledge for a while, but several children were not interested, which made Qingling unhappy for a while. Now Mingzhu is interested, and Qingling brings people around to teach every day.
When things were done, Su Jingyun drove Mingzhu away and returned to the room with Qingling, there were more than a dozen pieces of jade on the table, most of them were of average quality, and only two pieces of water were good. Qingling was happy all of a sudden, jade was not as good as spirit stone, but it could also store some dilute spiritual energy for a short time. Much better than wood.
If it is used to set up the formation, it can cover a larger range, which can be as large as the current three in Nanshan Village, and it can last for three years. Qingling looked at the jade, it was really itchy, she had been busy preparing a formation before, and if she used the wooden card as an auxiliary, it would be difficult, and there was no improvement.
Now that she has better materials, Qingling tightens her study and starts working, she wants to make a new set of formations out of jade. Su Jingyun touched his nose, okay, you can't live if you do your own evil. Now the daughter-in-law can't see him anymore.
Su Jingyun lay on the kang, looking at Qingling who was carefully drawing with jade through the tent, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing. When the sky got dark, Su Jingyun went out lightly and went to cook, and by the way, he watched the children and didn't let them disturb Qingling.
Next, the days went according to plan, Qingling was busy making formations during this time, and even Mingzhu was very busy, Qingling assigned her a lot of homework, and asked her to teach simple and practical herbal medicine knowledge to the adopted children.
By the way, the eight women who were brought back before and were seriously injured in the heart were organized, and as her subordinates, if the number of injured people increased in the future, more people could help.
So the task of cooking at home and supervising the children fell to Su Jingyun.
It just so happened that Su Jingyun couldn't go out to suppress the bandits during this time, the horse thieves and bandits gathered around had moved, and the wild things on the mountain were becoming more and more ferocious, compared with before, the physique had become larger, several times that of the original, and the speed of snakes, insects, rats and ants was happier, which made people unguardable. A lot of people died at once, and the population here is getting sparser and sparser, and if you want to rob people, you can't rob them, and life is not easy. I planned to go to the south to have a look, and I heard that the south was not badly affected, and most of the people were rich.
Last year's snowstorm caused many elderly and children to freeze to death, and the crops in the field did not know why they could not grow, and the fields are now full of vigorous weeds.
Coupled with the fact that the royal family fled south, they were a rat to the Xirong people, and they turned into firewood wolves against the defenseless common people. Constantly increasing taxes, constantly looting the grain in the hands of the people. It caused a black miasma in the south.
And as the weather slowly warmed up, there were many abnormalities.
On the seaside, at a glance, the usually calm ocean, now it is a different scene, under the strong wind, the waves are turbulent, and the turbulent waves roll up a sea curtain of more than ten meters like the shore hits. I don't know whether the original fishing village on the shore has been relocated or disappeared into the waves.
The blue and purple waves are mixed with some strange sounds, very rhythmic, but also very noisy. You can vaguely see many schools of fish, although they are not large, but their dense and sharp teeth chew up and down, and the previous sound came from here.
When the waves receded, there were flocks of dark red crabs three or four meters in size, which kept creaking with their legs, and walked very quickly into the distance.
There are also insects that change, and when the weather is hot, a variety of insects hatch in a warm and humid climate, and many of them are eggs laid by the mother that mutated in the autumn of the previous year. Constant scourge of crops, as well as biting children.
During this time, Nanshan Village was also busy killing insects, Qingling took people out of the enchantment and picked a lot of stinky grass, which had a strong and pungent smell, and the insects were also afraid of this smell, and they would run away when they smelled it.
After Qingling brought people back, she told everyone to smoke it after burning it, and saw insects crawling out of the ground. Everyone just kept burning on the hill again. Even the farmer who is accustomed to seeing large and small insects can't help but get goosebumps all over his body. Chills in the backbone.
And Mingzhu, who is becoming more and more independent, also took a few of her subordinates to dispense medicine to scrub the bite wounds of the children.
At the same time, the plants grow taller and more luxuriant. It is as high as a twenty-story sword, covering the sky and the sun.
Soon it will be the turn of some of the larger animals, such as the birds, which have mutated and are more ferocious than before, which used to feed mainly on all kinds of bugs, and as long as they do not provoke them, they will not actively attack humans.
Mutated birds have become more frequent in attacking humans. The sharp beaks of these birds are absolutely as sharp as knives, and some large carnivorous birds, they can easily tear a piece of meat off an adult, while human children have almost no power to fight back in front of them.
Many of the people who came back from the mountains were pecked by the birds, but Qingling's divine consciousness came out and deterred these birds, and they were safe.
Mammals will also slowly keep up, and in the absence of food and natural predators, mammals will certainly be reproduced and survived in large numbers. All life is infused with ferocious vitality by the invigorating aura, and they are about to become a catastrophe for humanity.
It's hard to imagine how brutal the survival test would have been if humans were still like this, and when the numbers of these large carnivores began to increase.
