Chapter Ninety-Three: The Plague

"Raise !!," Nicole exclaimed excitedly.

Ah Gu sat on the back of the horse, supported Nicole with both hands, and threw it up with all his strength.

Nicole was like riding a roller coaster, soaring upward, and instantly came to a height of hundreds of meters.

If it was an ordinary baby, she would have been scared and crying, but not only did she not cry, but she laughed, very happy, and the thief was excited!

When Nicole fell, Ah Gu supported Nicole with a gentle wind and fell lightly into Ah Gu's arms.

"Come again!" Nicole laughed excitedly.

Hearing what the girl said, Ah Gu also became happy, supported Nicole with both hands, and threw it up again.

"Woohoo!" exclaimed Nicole.

I couldn't be happier.

But this time, just as Agu was about to reach out to catch Nicole, a giant vulture flew out of the clouds, grabbed Nicole with two claws, and flew off into the distance.

"Alas, alas, alas, alas!!" Ah Gu was stunned.

As the saying goes, when there is danger, the father is the most reliable person, but when there is no danger, the father is the most dangerous person!

"Hahahaha!"

Nicole's cheerful laughter could be heard from the sky.

You still have the heart to laugh!

A bone a dark meteor came to Nicole's side, but Nicole saw her father coming, and happily stretched out her hand to hug her!

The little goblin on the ground collapsed, whose parents have you seen such a baby?

The white cat was still lying in the cage, turning over lazily, with a salted fish under its head.

The giant vulture had apparently never seen a flying skeleton before, and its eyes were full of doubts.

At this moment, Nicole opened her mouth and a mouthful of fire erupted, spraying right on the feathers of the giant vulture.

Seeing that a large piece of the giant vulture's feathers were burned clean, the vulture screamed miserably, and as soon as its claws were released, Nicole fell from mid-air.

Ah Gu was quick to catch Nicole, and then considered whether to stew this vulture!

Bone made a note of the feud for the time being, and turned back to the ground with Nicole in his arms.

Nicole was already happily closing her mouth, it was so exciting.

However, the nameless guest's face was very solemn, and he was gloomy and about to drip.

"Dude...... Ahead...... What's wrong?" asked Akuru cautiously.

"Plague!" said the nameless man in a deep voice, "It's a plague! There's a town ahead, and thousands of people have died!"

"Then let's take a detour!" said Agu.

The nameless guest opened his mouth, and he stopped talking, he also knew that Ah Gu was not at ease with Nicole.

"Okay, tomorrow, let's take a detour!" said the nameless man in a deep voice.

Night.

The stars are shining.

The nameless guest looked at the night sky and was preoccupied!

Nicole and the goblin had already fallen asleep, and Ah Gu came to the nameless guest and patted him on the shoulder: "What?

"Nothing can escape my brother's eyes!" "The nameless guest smiled bitterly: "In this case, if you can help, just help!"

"Then go and save people!" said Agu.

"But Nicole ......"

"Don't worry, I'll let the goblin town look outside our luggage and Nicole, you and I will go and see!

A gentle smile appeared on the nameless guest's face.

The stars are still shining.

......

Less than twenty miles in front of them, there was a small town with a population of about 30,000, which was originally very rich, but at this time this town was like a hell on earth, with doors and windows closed in every house, dead bodies everywhere, and countless people infected with the plague, wailing under the torture of sickness!

The once bustling town was deserted.

But that's not the most important thing.

It's winter.

Because of the plague, there is not much food for every household, and the merchants come here and walk around, and it will not take long, not to mention dying of disease, just starving these people to death.

When people can't even eat, what benevolence, righteousness and morality, what laws and regulations, all TM nonsense!

In a family on the edge of town.

There is a mother and son living in it.

The son is in his twenties, and he was originally a laborer in the family, but he also fell ill because of this plague, and his mother didn't get sick for some reason, but she was an old woman, and there was not much food at home, how could she carry this family?

"I'm back!"

The door opened, and the voice of a young girl came.

A hint of brightness appeared in the old mother's cloudy eyes: "Tao'er is back?"

The young girl who walked in was the peach who broke up with the Xiyan Empire and the Black Barbarian Dragon.

She wants to go home, but Nanwan is thousands of rivers and mountains away from the ice country, how can she, a weak woman, walk back?

The money given to her by the black barbarian dragon quickly ran out, and she had no choice but to find a caravan, mix in it, and do some chores for others to make ends meet.

How do you know that half a month ago, when the caravan passed through the town, it was blocked and robbed by bandits, and the dead escaped.

Just when she was about to starve to death, it was the mother and son who took her in, gave her a bite to eat, and let her survive.

Tao'er was grateful, just more than ten days ago, after the plague arrived, Tao'er not only did not escape, but also stayed to take care of the mother and son.

"Mother, I found some edible wild fruits and wild vegetables, you can eat some!" Peach carried a basket full of wild vegetables and a lot of red fruits.

"Tao'er, we originally met in Pingshui, and now I want you to take care of our mother and son, it's really difficult for you!" said the old mother apologetically.

"Without my mother and eldest brother, I would have starved to death!

The old mother's eyes were full of kindness: "How nice it would be if this were my daughter-in-law!"

Tao'er's ears were sharp, and when she heard her old mother say this, her heart was sad, her background was ...... If the eldest brother knew, what would he think of himself!

The old mother's son, Lian Huzi, is a young man in his twenties, usually as strong as a cow, but now he is tormented by the plague, thin skin and bones.

Tao'er was sad in her heart, this kind of plague, as long as she was infected, she didn't survive for ten days, and Huzi was infected, and it was already the sixth day.

Everything points to disaster.

At this time, the skin of Huzi's whole body began to fester, and it was miserable.

Thankfully, Peach didn't catch the plague.

The old mother and Tao'er drank some wild vegetable soup, and Huzi was seriously ill and couldn't eat, so he continued to fall into a coma after only a few sips of soup.

The old mother had a sad face, finished eating, and let Tao'er sit beside her: "Tao'er, you have also seen this situation, for a while, when it gets dark, you better pack up your things and leave! It's here, it can only be a dead end! My mother and son already owe you a lot!"

"Mother, what are you talking about! Big brother's illness will definitely get better! Don't worry!" Tao'er said this, but she knew in her heart that Huzi didn't have much time left, but she still kept comforting the old mother.

In fact, from the beginning of the plague to the present, there have been many doctors in the town, but not only has the plague not been cured, but many doctors have also been infected with the plague themselves and have died.

Thanks to the remote location of this town, there is no village in front of it, there is no store in the back, and the plague has not been spread, otherwise, it will definitely be another catastrophe for the Ice Country.

Nothing was said all night.

When Momo'er woke up the next day, Huzi was seriously ill again.

Momo sighed in her heart, not knowing when she would be able to go home.

"Mother, I'll go up the mountain to find food! You take care of your eldest brother at home!" said Tao'er.

"Be careful! these people in the town are going crazy, so be careful!" said the old mother.

"Mother, don't worry, don't you see I'm okay these days?" said Tao'er.

That's true.

Now that the family is closed, who dares to run around the street without incident?

Peach slipped out the back door and soon came to the mountain.

At this time, some late-ripening fruits and some dried wild vegetables can still be found on the mountain, and in a few days, the heavy snow will cover the mountain, and then there will really be no way to go to the sky and no way to go down.

It's closer to the south, not as cold as Icefish City, and the snow hasn't fallen yet.

But Peach's clothes are thin, and even if it doesn't snow, her hands and feet are still red from the cold.

"How can you eat so little on such a big mountain?" complained Tao'er.

Just then, there was a beastly roar in front of her.

Peach's footsteps froze suddenly, because she saw a gray wolf with shiny fur crawling not far in front of her.

"No!" Momo's crying mood was over.

I'm so unlucky!

And this gray wolf also saw Peach!

It seems that the plague has no effect on creatures other than humans.

"If you dare to come over, be careful of me...... I'll bite you!" said Momo in the most cowardly tone.

She found that all over her body, it seemed that the only thing that could be used as a weapon was her own little teeth.

Then, the gray wolf grinned, revealing a row of fangs like daggers.

"Help, help, is there anyone!"

She has no experience in confronting fierce beasts, and at this time, she escapes and exposes her back to the sharp teeth of the gray wolf, what is the difference between looking for death?

Moreover, two-legged ones can't outrun four-legged ones.

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, the gray wolf had already rushed up, and two huge claws pressed the back of Tao'er's shoulder, and Tao'er was so frightened that the hairs on her whole body exploded.

"Buzz!"

A sword groan.

The gray wolf behind Tao'er screamed and flew out.

When Tao'er looked back, she saw a middle-aged man holding a long sword in his hand, protecting her behind, and next to her, a strange man in a black robe holding an iron rod in his hand.

"It's okay!"

These two people are none other than the nameless man and Ah Gu.

The two of them were about to observe the town from many aspects, but they didn't expect to save Peach, who was attacked by the gray wolf.

Just as Momole was about to say thank you, Nicole on Agu's shoulder suddenly screamed happily and slapped it on Peach's face.

"It's little Nicole!" said Peach.

Ah Gu was full of doubts, who is this girl?
