Chapter Ninety-Five: A Mass Grave Without a Body
The nameless guest kicked open the door, and five or six house-looking people rushed out of the courtyard, carrying sticks in their hands, staring nervously at the nameless guest.
These people are all yellow-skinned and thin, and they can't stand steadily, and the nameless guest has no desire to do it.
"Who's the mayor!!Come out to meet me!" The nameless guest walked straight forward.
"Who do you think you are? Mayor is the one you can see?" shouted one of the housekeepers.
The nameless guest smiled dumbly, with his own strength, not to mention meeting a small mayor, it is easy to meet the king of a country.
The nameless guest waved his hand lightly, and a strong air ejected, shaking these family members away, but it didn't hurt anyone.
"Bang ......"
Several people fell to the ground, and their faces were as frightened as earth: "This person knows how to demons, run!"
"Alas......" The nameless guest tried to stop the people, but they had already run back to the house.
It just so happened that a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out.
"What's going on?" the middle-aged man asked, grabbing a housekeeper.
"There's a monster!' a monster," one of the housekeepers shouted.
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and suddenly the back of his neck tightened, and he was caught by something.
"Oh, youkai-sama spare my life! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three- or four-year-old urchin below, and I won't die! "Spare my life!" the middle-aged man shouted with his eyes closed.
The nameless guest was amused all of a sudden: "Open your eyes and see, I'm not a monster, I'm a human!"
As he spoke, he threw the middle-aged man out.
The middle-aged man fell to the ground lightly, and only then did he dare to open his eyes, and at first glance, it was a middle-aged man with a slightly thin body.
"Looks like you're the mayor?" the nameless man glared at him with a corrupt belly.
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly: "Zai Bucai, it's the mayor here!
"Come to the rescue!" said the nameless man, "I can cure the plague!"
When the mayor heard this, his eyes lit up: "Hurry up, please inside!"
The nameless guest was also polite, and came directly to the living room, and sat directly in the position where the host should be.
The mayor didn't care, but said with a smile on his face, "What do you call this adult?"
"Nobody!"
"Anonymous, have you been sent by the Empire?" the mayor asked cautiously.
"No......" The nameless guest originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem to hurt to pull a tiger skin at this time, and suddenly the conversation changed: "Yes! Your Majesty already knows about the plague, and specially sent me! This is my token!"
The nameless guest took out a token from his arms and shook it casually in front of the mayor, who didn't dare to look at it anyway.
When the mayor heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down: "It turned out that the envoy arrived!
The nameless guest snickered in his heart, but the expression on his face was very majestic: "Okay, tell me, when did the plague break out, how many people died, how many people were infected?
The mayor was so frightened that he touched his neck, and the fat on his whole body shook, and he hurriedly showed a flattering smile: "My lord, I must tell you exactly what I know!"
It turned out that half a month ago, the first person infected with the plague had already appeared in the town.
But at the time, everyone thought it was just a serious illness and didn't take it seriously.
However, within two days, the patient died, and not only that, but the doctor who treated him was also infected with the plague, and the whole family of three died within three days.
Subsequently, the plague broke out completely.
No one knew where the plague came from, and by the time the mayor realized it was a plague, almost a fifth of the town's population had already been infected with the plague.
"Wait a minute, in that case, why don't you run, do you have to wait here to die?" asked the nameless man.
"Your Excellency, you don't know! It's not that we don't run, we can't leave this place at all! At first, when someone reacted, they tried to flee, but the next morning, this man's body hung on a big tree at the east end of the town, and he died a miserable death!" said the mayor.
The nameless guest was shocked when he heard this.
"After that, there are people who don't believe in evil and want to escape at night, but no matter how many people go out, they will be hung from a tree the next day, and the way of death is different!" said the mayor.
"And you didn't notify your boss?" asked the anonymous guest.
"Of course I was informed, but as soon as that bastard heard about such a thing, his first reaction was not to save people, but to seal up all the exits of our town, no matter who dared to leave half a step, and killed him! This is to make us wait for death! My lord!" said the mayor with a handful of snot and tears.
The nameless guest nodded slightly, this was the most correct approach before he knew the truth, although it sacrificed the people in the town, it could ensure that the plague would not spread.
The most important thing is that through the words of the mayor, it can be known that this plague is likely to have someone behind it.
After all, a plague cannot arise for no reason.
"How many people died then?"
The mayor counted on his fingers: "Until yesterday, more than 3,700 people had died, and the bodies were found, and I don't know how many people were infected!
The nameless man nodded, and then asked, "What did you do with the corpse?"
The mayor of the town smiled bitterly: "My lord, look at it, is there anything else nearby that can be burned? The trees have all been cut down! I can only dig a pit in the mass grave in the back mountain and bury it casually!"
The nameless guest pondered for a moment: "Okay, I already know the general situation!
......
Leaving the mayor's house, the nameless guest was in a heavy mood.
"The most important thing now is to prepare medicine against the plague, otherwise it will be useless!" When the nameless guest returned to Huzi's house, it was already midnight.
Ah Gu was sitting at the door waiting for him.
"Brother, how is Huzi's condition?" asked the nameless guest.
"Much better!" said Aku.
The nameless guest told Ah Gu what he thought.
"You're saying there's a good chance that this plague is being manipulated?" asked.
"Quite possibly, man, is there any plague magic that can be mid-aired?" asked the nameless guest.
Ah Gu shook his head: "Anyway, I won't!"
The nameless guest said: "I still want to see the corpses of those dead, my brother should let me go and see them!"
"Why did you let me go?" asked Ah Gu, pointing to his nose.
"It's all the same kind anyway, maybe you can see some clues!" the nameless guest pulled Ah Gu and walked towards the back mountain.
It's not too far from the back mountain, and it's only an hour's walk.
The foot strength of the two of them arrived in more than ten minutes.
The moonlight in the sky was hazy.
There was a fog all around.
The two of them came to the mass grave, and as far as they could see, there were thousands of tombstones, and many bones casually thrown on the ground, and the wind was gusting.
Even if it is a nobody, there is a chill in the back at this time.
"Let's do it quickly!" called the anonymous guest.
Ah Gu slowly walked to a tombstone and quickly dug up a dilapidated coffin.
"Brother, are you sure you want to watch it? Maybe the scene inside will make people unable to eat for a month!" Ah Gu said vigilantly.
The nameless guest takes a deep breath, how much courage does it take?
Ah Gu buckled the coffin board, and even the tools were useless, and with a force of his fingers, the coffin board was buckled.
The nameless guest was already mentally prepared, but when he saw the contents of the coffin, his face was very solemn.
Not because of how ugly the body was in the coffin, but because it was ...... inside Nothing!
"How so, how is the coffin empty?" said the anonymous man to himself.
"Maybe it was taken away by wild wolves and wild dogs! What is so strange about this mass grave?" Ah Gu said calmly.
The nameless man shook his head: "Impossible, the coffin is still intact, and the beast has no such ability!"
"If the body is really buried here and disappears, there is only one possibility!" Ah Gu said calmly.
The two looked at each other, and both saw the answer in each other's eyes.
"Artificial!"
The nameless guest sneered: "It's really bold." Behind this plague, it's really people who are playing ghosts!"
Ah Gu dug up a few more graves, and sure enough, although there were coffins inside, there were no bones.
"But what's the use of stealing someone's corpse?" asked Ah Gu suspiciously.
The nameless guest couldn't figure out whether it was necessary to create such a big plague just to steal a few corpses?
"Let's go back and think slowly!, and the most important thing now is to cure the plague!" said Aku.
The nameless guest raised his eyebrows: "Actually, I already have an eyebrow for the plague, see how I broke his conspiracy!"
The two returned to the town and did not speak for the night.
Early the next morning, the nameless guest called Tao'er up, took Ah Gu, and the three of them came to the mayor's house together.
The mayor of the town gave him a warm welcome, and he sent the nameless guest to kneel down as his grandson.
Tao'er looked funny, but she didn't dare to laugh, and it was very uncomfortable.
"I've found a cure for the plague, look at this!" the nameless man stretched out his hand, and a plant lay in his palm.
Because it is winter, the stems and leaves of the plant have dried up, but the roots underneath are very well preserved.
"My lord, isn't this a gourd grass!"
The roots of this grass are two balls in size, and it looks like a small gourd, so it is named gourd grass.
"This thing is the key to curing the plague!" said the nameless guest solemnly: "Sick people boil gourd grass and drink a bowl of water every morning and evening, and it will soon be effective!"
The mayor of the town was skeptical, gourd grass was everywhere in the mountains, and he had never heard the doctor say that this thing could be used as medicinal herbs.
"Didn't you notice that most of the plague infected men in this plague, and even if women were infected, the situation was much better than men's?" asked the anonymous guest.
"That's true......"
"This plague is actually a kind of heat poison! Men are yang, and the possibility of infection is higher when the heat is heated! But the gourd grass has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and taking it every day can neutralize the heat poison!" said the anonymous guest.
