Chapter 19: Shocking the government and the opposition
Liu Yanchen carried his grandfather all the way, guarding carefully, and encountered mutated villagers several times, but fortunately Liu Yanchen avoided them.
More than half an hour later, Liu Yanchen and his grandfather finally hid in the bamboo forest after confirming that the bamboo forest had not been affected.
At this time, the fire in Lianshan Village was even bigger, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the sky above the bamboo forest from afar.
Liu Yanchen took his grandfather to find a relatively flat and dry place to rest.
In the second half of the night, the fire in Lianshan Village was still not under control, and as far as the eye could see, slash-and-burn farming, ghosts and spirits were scorched.
The fire alarmed two small villages nearby, and many villagers spontaneously organized themselves and rushed to Lianshan Village to put out the fire.
Also alarmed was the suburban county of Jingjiao, to which Lianshan Village belonged, and the county order immediately sent all Ding Zhuang who sneaked out of the Yanei to rescue the disaster.
Just as the villagers from the nearby village and the people from the county government were about to arrive at Lianshan Village, they were stopped by the village chief of Lianshan Village and the villagers who had fled.
It turned out that the first person to discover the fire was the village chief, and as soon as the village chief found the fire, he immediately called the villagers to put out the fire.
When the village chief and others discovered the vision, the villagers were all frightened and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, the village chief also joined more than a dozen villagers with some martial arts cultivation to fight back against the mutated villagers, but they soon found that these mutated villagers seemed to be not afraid of pain or fighting at all.
Seeing that the villagers were infected one by one and mutated one after another, the village chief could only kill the mutated villagers while organizing other villagers to escape from the village.
The team of less than 100 people standing in front of him was the only one who escaped from Lianshan Village.
"Lord Prefectural Commander, if it is true that the villagers have mutated and attacked their own kind, as the head of Lianshan Village said, then continue to let everyone go to fight the fire, I am afraid that everyone will be attacked by the mutated villagers again." ’
The master of Jingjiao County said.
After hearing this, everyone thought that this was unbelievable, unheard of, and unbelievable.
But the crowd has made people have to believe in the authenticity and seriousness of this matter.
But if we don't control the fire as soon as possible, and let it spread, we may implicate the nearby villages, and then the disaster will spread more widely." ’
The prefectural order was also at a loss for a while.
"Lord Prefectural, why don't we go and ask the local garrison guards to help put out the fire together, their forces should be able to subdue the mutant villagers." ’
A government official said.
"Good idea, you and Master go to the barracks quickly, be sure to benefit the garrison generals, and ask them to send troops to suppress and jointly relieve the disaster." ’
After that, the county commander took all the people who came to the disaster relief and the villagers of Lianshan Village to return to Lianshan Village to put out the fire first.
The county ordered everyone to control the fire on the periphery first, so as not to continue to spread the fire, and at the same time not to allow everyone to enter the village without permission, so as not to be attacked by the mutated villagers.
After more than an hour, the fire on the perimeter had been brought under control, and the defending generals also came to Lianshan Village with hundreds of soldiers.
Soldiers rushed to the most burned areas of the village and began to put out the fires.
As the people entered the village, they quickly attracted a lot of mutant villagers, who all rushed to the crowd impatiently, and the soldiers were well-trained, and soon fought with the mutants, so that the villagers and the officials from the county government could devote themselves to fighting the fire with peace of mind.
Although the soldiers entangled the mutated villagers, the mutated villagers were extremely strong, and there was no way to kill them with any attack, and after a long time, the soldiers could not parry.
Just when the soldiers were all anxious, General Qin, the garrison guard who was also fighting on the side, spoke.
'Attack their necks, and as long as their necks are broken, they cannot move.' ’
When the soldiers heard this, they followed suit, and sure enough, as long as they broke the neck of the mutant villager, the mutant villager finally fell to the ground.
Before dawn, the battle against fire and man was finally won, but the end was sad, and hundreds of villagers were burned alive or killed.
This sudden change finally alarmed the Southern Realm Emperor.
After the disaster, General Qin ordered his subordinates to bring the bodies of two mutated villagers and rush back to the imperial city.
In the early court, General Qin truthfully reported the difficulties of Lianshan Village last night to Emperor Youdi in the main hall, and as soon as the news came out, it shocked the entire court and instantly set off a storm in the hearts of the ministers.
The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
Emperor You's face was even more gloomy.
'Holy Lord, the minister has brought back the bodies of the two mutated villagers, and they are now parked in Dali Temple. ’
General Qin saw that everyone did not dare to ask about the case, so he had to continue to speak and complain.
'Check, give me a good check, Dali Siqing, Chu Taishi, General Ye, General Qin, this matter will be handed over to you to take care of, and it will be limited to three days. ’
With that, Emperor Youdi got up and brushed his sleeves away.
'Retreat. ’
On the outskirts of the Imperial City, the Son of Heaven is now in such a tragic situation of deliberately poisoning and setting fire to the village, and it is understandable that Emperor Youdi will be angry.
At the same time, Chu Jun, who woke up early in the morning, looked at the newly planted herbs in the field yesterday.
Overnight, the herbs grew to two feet tall.
Chu Jun collected all the herbs, and easily used the Five Elements Ding to practice the pill and put it into the Qinggang bamboo storage bag.
'Chu Jun, do you want to refine the three poisonous herbs you harvested yesterday into pills and keep them by your side? ’
Ding Ling asked.
I wasn't going to use those poisonous weeds, but you're right, you have to be on guard, and you have to keep some poison on your side. ’
After speaking, Chu Jun took out the Ecstasy Grass, Flame Grass, and Bee Grass, and refined them into a few Ecstasy Incense, Bee Sting Pill, and a handful of Red Flame Powder respectively.
Ecstasy incense can make people sleepy when lit.
Chiyan powder can be applied externally or taken internally, and the effect is to corrode the flesh, and the poisoned person will feel that the whole body is on fire.
Bee stinging pill is colorless and odorless, and after taking it, it will make people's skin ulcerate and full of pus.
After refining the Dan, Chu Jun rushed to Lianshan Village with briquettes, intending to go to Liu Yanchen's grandfather for a follow-up visit.
Before I got close to the entrance of the village, the briquettes smelled a strange smell.
'Master, it smells so heavy of blood and charcoal, and even the mountain village is weird. ’
Briquette said.
Chu Jun also smelled the extremely heavy smell of burning, and his pace sped up a little, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, the scene in front of him shocked Chu Jun.
The devastation was complete, the farmland was gray and black, and the houses were all burned.
Chu Jun hurriedly ran in the direction of Liu Yanchen's house in the north of the village, there were white and yellow paper money scattered everywhere on the ground, if he hadn't been to the village yesterday, he really couldn't tell what the hell he had been.
'Little girl, don't run, the village burned out last night, and the structure of the houses was loosely burned by the fire, maybe any house will collapse in a while, it's very dangerous. ’
It was the village chief who stopped Chu Jun, and he had a relationship with Chu Jun yesterday and was deeply impressed.
'Chief, what's going on, how did the village be destroyed overnight.' Are Liu Yanchen and his grandfather okay? ’
Chu Jun asked eagerly.
