Chapter 59: Strange clouds haunt
Unconsciously, Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai had entered the central region of the Great Zhou Kingdom. In the Great Zhou region, the central part is a wide and soft sandstone plain.
In this area, there is no lush vegetation like Banana Leaf Village, the weather is very dry, and on windy days, the sand and gravel lap the trellis of the carriage, making a creaking sound.
On this day, Yuncang Haile stopped his horses, stopped, looked up at the sky, frowned and said nothing.
Yun Sheng noticed that the carriage and horses had stopped and lifted the curtain.
I don't know why, the sunlight in this area seems very dim, and there is weakness, and then look at the sky, it is dim, like the northern haze city where Ji Yunsheng was located in his previous life, and it is difficult to see the color of the sky clearly.
"Father?" Yun Sheng keenly noticed that Yun Canghai's expression was very solemn.
On the wasteland ahead, a small team appeared that meandered forward like a martial centipede.
"Father, who are those people?" Yun Sheng's eyesight was excellent, and she even saw the true face of the "centipede" before Yun Canghai, which was a group of refugees composed of old and weak women and children, each with yellow faces and thin muscles, and ragged clothes.
"It's a refugee," Yun Canghai also saw the appearance of that team.
Yun Canghai had been to the central region of the Great Zhou Kingdom in his early years, and in his memory, this was not such a desolate scene, why did such a large group of refugees suddenly appear?
The group of refugees had walked to the wagon.
"Sister, do you have water?" A boy of four or five years old approached and tugged pitifully at the tarpaulin of the carriage, his lips cracked like old bark.
The Yun father and daughter brought insufficient water and dry food along the way, and if they took it out rashly, it would only attract robbery.
The few men in the team showed a fierce look and rushed out like vicious dogs, but the posture was to snatch the luggage of Yun Sheng and the others.
Almost instantly, a wall of fire rose from the ground, and the wall of fire was indestructible, shooting out fierce flames.
The men who intended to commit murder were frightened, and they were all terrified, magicians, magicians.
"Magician!" The men pounced a few times and fell to their knees, "Venerable Magician, save us!" ”
The magic scepter in Yun Canghai's hand was hidden under his clothes, his face was vigilant, he was not a good man and a woman, for him, the safety of his daughter was more important than anyone and everything.
The wall of fire in the sea of clouds was so fierce and scorching that the temperature around it instantly rose a lot.
Seeing that Yun Canghai was indifferent, the men stood up in disappointment, and they pulled the begging child, picked up the dying old man, and slowly moved forward.
They have long been accustomed to the indifference of passers-by, and along the way, they have begged countless passers-by, but as soon as the other party heard the name, his face changed greatly.
"Wait a minute," Yun Canghai suddenly spoke, and he caught a glimpse of an old man at the front of the queue with a family crest embroidered on his luggage, which was an auspicious cloud-like sign.
Those villagers still have some scruples about Yuncanghai.
The sea of clouds removed the wall of fire.
At this time, at the end of the queue, a weak child could not bear the fatigue of the way, fainted, and no matter how many shouts of his relatives beside him, he did not respond.
Seeing this, Yun Sheng walked forward quickly, "Father, he has a heat stroke, and if he is not treated in time, he will die," Yun Sheng said, ordering several men to carry the children to the carriage.
For several miles, it was all barren, and only the carriage could serve as a temporary shade.
Yun Sheng immediately untied a bag of water from the child, sprinkled some salt in the water, and fed the child a few sips.
Heat stroke can be big or small, and if it is not treated in time, it will kill people, especially frail children and the elderly.
Yun Sheng took out the bone needle again, picked a few needles on the child's forehead, and after picking out some black blood, the child's complexion was slightly better.
In the time when Yun Sheng was treating the child, Yun Canghai had already chatted with an elder in the queue.
"Uncle, if you are not mistaken, this area is the territory of the Martial Saint General's Mansion, you should be the subjects of the General's Mansion, and it is a capital crime to leave the territory without permission, why do you want to leave the territory for no reason?" In the Wuji Continent, meritorious ministers and the imperial clan will be rewarded after making war exploits.
Since the land given is a lord, those who have lived in the territory for generations are subjects, and the subjects are equivalent to the private property of the lord, and they are not allowed to leave without the order of the lord, nor can they move with their families.
"Venerable Magician, it's not that we are not afraid of death, but that we have no home to return to. Originally, there were more than 2,000 people in our village, but since the strange cloud arrived in our village, there were only these people left in front of them, "The chief who talked to Yun Canghai was the village chief of the village.
He sighed and told Yun Canghai that he was indeed a civilian subordinate to the Martial Saint General's Mansion. They have been living well in this village for a long time, and about half a month ago, a red cloud floated above the village.
The villagers didn't pay attention to it, just thought it was a strangely colored cloud, but as the days passed, strange things happened in the village since the cloud appeared.
"First the cattle in the village died, then the well dried up, and finally even the crops grown in the village died. The most terrible thing is that the cloud in the sky keeps getting bigger, and now our whole village is covered by that cloud. Every once in a while, a strange wind rolled up in that cloud, sucking dozens of villagers in. By the time the villagers realized that something was wrong, most of the villagers had already been sucked in by the strange clouds.
A strange cloud that can sweep people in?
Yun Canghai's face was solemn: "This happened? You didn't report it to the General's Palace? ”
The territory is equivalent to the personal property of the lord, so any incident must be reported to the lord first.
The lord will send the master of the family to inspect again.
"It's sent, it was sent ten days ago, the villagers who sent the letter have not come back yet, seeing that the villagers are getting fewer and fewer day by day, I can only risk the death penalty and take the villagers to migrate to the neighboring villages," the village chief couldn't help but cry silently.
"Sheng'er, you stay here, stay with the villagers first, I'll go up and take a look," Yun Canghai told Yun Sheng to stay where he was.
He left the carriage for Yun Sheng and went to the village in front of him to explore.
Martial Saint General's Mansion? Yun Sheng couldn't help but glance at the villagers.
Yun Sheng realized that these people were likely to be the subjects of the Yun family, no wonder his father would go against the norm and meddle in this matter.
Strange clouds that can suck in people? Is it a monster or an unknown monster?
What kind of monster is that, she thinks about her father in her heart, and wants to follow her to see it.
In my ears, there was a neighing of horses, and a woman's screams were heard.
When they looked back, a moon-white carriage was speeding forward, and it was pulled by two beautiful Gallic horses, with high necks and dense hair, and a white beard, and they could not find a single stray hair from head to toe.
Driving were two twin boys, dressed in gorgeous magical robes, looking pink and jade, very exquisite, and they were from extraordinary backgrounds at first glance.
A village woman who was pregnant with Rokko was frightened and fell in front of the carriage.
