Zhang Lingyun's footsteps staggered because of excessive panic, and the familiar houses in the afterglow retreated backwards, but the usually peaceful and harmonious town was full of palpitating dead silence at this time.

The bright sunlight fell on Zhang Lingyun's body at this time, and it looked extremely cold, just like Zhang Lingyun's gradually sinking heart.

He didn't know what was going on in the village, but the words that came out of Lao Yi's mouth before lingered in his heart like a nightmare, turning into dark clouds and bringing endless shadows.

He had only been away for a short morning, but how could such a drastic change have taken place in the village!

"They're crazy?"

Who are they? Could it be the other villagers who don't see it?

"They are going to burn Huai Li before sacrificing to the temple, Fang Er and Rui'er?"

Why?

Zhang Lingyun didn't understand why Lao Yi said this, and why did the villagers do this!

But he consciously told Zhang Lingyun that now he must hurry to the temple and rush to his family's side!

The date of the construction of the small village temple is unknown, but everyone in Wangnan Village knows that this temple has a long history and is dedicated to a clay statue.

The statue does not have a name or name, but everyone has been praying for the idol every year to bless the harvest and the wind and rain, so over time it is called the "God of Ceres".

Zhang Lingyun ran all the way, stumbled through the entire village, and came to an open place at the end of the village, and this open place was densely packed with people at this time!

Zhang Lingyun, who had just arrived here, was shocked to find that the villagers who had disappeared in the village had all gathered in front of the temple at this time, with their backs to him, not knowing what they were doing.

Looking through the gap in the crowd to the center, Zhang Lingyun also saw some acquaintances before worshipping the temple.

the old village chief who used to be amiable; Willow Orion, who had helped him many times to go into the mountains to collect medicine and try to inquire about the recipe for spices from him; There was Xiao Jiang, the eldest son of the village chief, who wanted to learn medicine from him, but finally gave up; Aunt Wang, who accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms a year ago, was rescued by him in a hurry......

Now these familiar faces are all gathered here, torches in hand, around a large brass bell piled with firewood around it, whispering something to the eye.

"Village Chief, Lao Liu? You...... What are you doing? Zhang Ling used his strength to push through the crowd, walked to the temple step by step, and asked with a trembling mouth.

"Where's Huai Pear? What about Fang'er, and Rui'er, what about them? What's going on in the village? How are you doing here? ”

Zhang Lingyun has endless doubts in his head, and he wants to find out!

At the moment when he heard Zhang Lingyun's voice, Wangnan Village gathered here, and more than 100 villagers, including the old village chief, looked back, and their eyes fell on Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun, who encountered this situation for the first time, was frightened and stopped and took two steps back in fear.

But when he thought that his wife and children were still missing, Zhang Lingyun's eyes became firm again.

But before Zhang Lingyun could speak, a pair of palms suddenly poked out from the side, and fell on his shoulders in Zhang Lingyun's stunned gaze, pressing him to the ground.

"What are you doing, you ...... Yes!!! ”

Zhang Lingyun asked in a panic, but as soon as the words were spoken, a sharp pain that hurt into the bone marrow came from under him, and the words turned into screams of pain.

Zhang Lingyun, whose face was covered with cold sweat in pain, looked down with trembling pupils, and found that his calves were bending in an extremely irregular shape at this time.

Someone...... Broke his calf!

Zhang Lingyun looked up with difficulty, and the person who was holding a hoe in his hand and broke his calf was an old man from the north of the village who had been treated by him for his son's fever.

"For ...... Why!? ”

Zhang Lingyun was directly stunned by this sudden change, as if a sweet dream suddenly turned into a nightmare full of ghosts.

The difference is that this is not a dream.

He couldn't wake up!

And when he heard that one of Zhang Lingyun's lower legs was broken, he couldn't stand up anymore, and let out a painful moan, the village chief turned his head and looked coldly at Zhang Lingyun who was pressed to the ground by the villagers.

"Traitor, how dare you come back?"

Orion Liu Shi on the side also looked at him coldly, completely indifferent to Zhang Lingyun's current tragic situation, as if he was not the one who used to hunt and collect medicine together in the mountains, eating barbecue and talking and laughing.

Aunt Wang, who had been saved by Zhang Lingyun, looked at Zhang Lingyun who fell to the ground, and only smiled coldly and spat out: "Phew! ”

Only Jiang Bai, who had studied medical skills with Zhang Lingyun for a while, showed a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and turned his head, unwilling to look at it again.

Although he didn't know why Village Chief Jiang called him a "traitor", Zhang Lingyun at this time vaguely understood what Lao Yi meant when he said "they are crazy".

The current villagers are no longer the people he knows!

But at this time, it was too late to regret it, Zhang Lingyun just said with difficulty and weakness: "What about Huai Li?" What about Fang'er, and Rui'er, what about them? ”

Nothing else matters, now Zhang Lingyun just wants to know how his family is doing!

"Them?"

Aunt Wang, who was obese, smiled contemptuously and glanced at the brass clock beside her, which was almost two people high.

And the village chief Jiang who was on crutches with both hands on the side said coldly: "I broke my other leg, so I can't let him run." ”

As the hoe in Lin Laohan's hand fell again, Zhang Lingyun once again felt the heart-rending pain, and couldn't help screaming, his hands grabbed the soil under him hard, and blood oozed from his fingertips.

Zhang Lingyun's screams seemed to be heard in the brass bell, and suddenly the sound of slapping sounded, and the child's cry could be faintly heard:

"Daddy, let's go, leave us alone!"

Hearing the familiar voice that had been with him for ten years, Zhang Lingyun's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the brass bell in disbelief, ignoring even the sharp pain in his legs.

"You ...... You take the pears and ...... them."

Seeing the firewood around the brass bell and the torch in Orion Liu Shi's hand, Zhang Lingyun shivered fiercely, as if he realized something.

"Don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely save you!" Zhang Lingyun first shouted at the brass bell with all his might, and then looked at the village chief and others angrily: "Village chief, Lao Liu, what's the matter with you coming to me and letting them go, they are just women and children!" ”

"Coming at you?" Liu Shi's eyes were as cold as ice, and he no longer saw the heartiness of the past. "You tried in vain to poison more than 100 lives in my Wangnan Village, and these more than 100 lives are up to you, what do you pay?"

"Poisoned? Wangnan Village? ”

Zhang Lingyun was stunned, what was Lao Liu talking about? What poisoning?

"Still pretending?"

Liu Shi's resentful gaze fell on Zhang Lingyun, and then he lifted his sleeves, revealing a large area of skin that was so festering that it was deep to the bone.

Other villagers in Wangnan Village also took off their clothes, some on their wrists, some on their necks, and some on their waists, but without exception, everyone in more than 100 villagers in Wangnan Village has been infected with this highly contagious "plague"!

Jiang Bai, who was in the lightest condition, was still only a red dot now, and the most serious person was the village chief of Na Jiang, almost half of his body had festered to the point of not being able to look.

"At first, there was only one village chief, but three days ago, the whole village was completely infected! Zhang Lingyun, you tell me, if this poison is not caused by you, why is it only you, no...... Only your family is unscathed and unharmed!? ”

Liu Shi's voice was loud and deafening, carrying the angry and resentful eyes of more than 100 villagers in Wangnan Village, pressing towards Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun lay on the ground, dragging his broken legs, surrounded by the villagers.

But no matter which direction he looked, all he saw were resentful eyes.

Everyone here can name them, tell them about the illnesses and injuries they have suffered, and remember the grateful smiles on their faces after he helped them.

But now, everyone's face is gloomy and hideous, as if they want to cut him with a thousand knives.

"No, this is a plague from the sky, and the plague usually comes suddenly, which catches people off guard, even in the Immortal Dynasty, it is a headache! This has nothing to do with me! Zhang Lingyun explained desperately.

"Nothing to do with you?"

The old and thin Jiang Village Chief looked at Zhang Lingyun expressionlessly.

"When the old man asked you to stay in this Wangnan Village, you shirked it in every possible way, saying that you wanted to travel all over the world, but the old man just showed a hint of the intention of matching you and Huai Li, so you immediately changed your mind."

"In the past ten years, you have been very unsatisfactory in Wangnan Village, right? You think it's our Wangnan Village that binds you, right? As long as you kill everyone in Wangnan Village and blame the cause of death on the 'plague', then you can take your family to Shaoyang City without restraint, right? ”

Hearing these flowers, Zhang Ling's face turned pale, and his mouth trembled: "Nonsense!" In the past ten years, I have tried my best to treat the villagers, and several times my life was in danger when I was collecting medicine, Jiang Sheng, why do you slander me so much! ”

"Aunt Wang, you accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms, I read medical books all night, and I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, to find a detoxification for you! After that, Huaili slaughtered the old hen at home and boiled it into chicken soup, and sent it to you to make up for your body. ”

"Lin Laohan, your son suddenly had a high fever, the snow was shaking, and the cold wind was biting, I woke up in my sleep, and rushed over late at night wearing only thin clothes for treatment!"

"And you, Old Willow! When you were hunting in the mountains, you strayed into a poisonous miasma, who desperately pulled you out! Who is it!!?? ”

……

Zhang Lingyun's eyes widened, and he told the villagers standing here one by one about the illnesses they had treated.

In this process, Zhang Lingyun became more and more angry the more he spoke, and the anger and grievances in his heart kept piling up, burning his reason!

Some of the people named by Zhang Lingyun were indifferent after hearing Zhang Lingyun's words, some of them still sneered, and only a small number of people showed guilt on their faces and did not dare to face Zhang Lingyun's gaze.

Seeing Zhang Lingyun playing the emotional card so skillfully to defend himself, the elderly Jiang Sheng just snorted coldly: "You don't need to quibble about anything, since we decided to do it to you after discussion, we have already found ironclad evidence." ”

Zhang Lingyun was at a loss: "Ironclad evidence? ”

He hadn't done anything like that at all, where did the evidence come from?

Jiang Sheng raised his crutches, fell heavily, and shouted in a deep voice: "Take it!" ”

Zhang Lingyun's eyes followed, and he saw two villagers carefully moving a potted plant up.

The bonsai are shrouded in long wooden boxes, and the two villagers carrying the bonsai show a deep fear of the bonsai around them.

Although he didn't see the true face under the wooden box, when Zhang Lingyun saw the familiar ceramic basin, he realized what the other party was serving.

Jiang Sheng opened the wooden box, revealing an extremely bewitching fiery red flower, if you look closely, the flower is swaying in the wind, exuding an extremely deadly allure, revealing an amazing aura, which makes people can't help but be intoxicated.

And in front of everyone's eyes, one of the two villagers who carried the flowers raised his palm, and the skin at the palm fell off layer by layer, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

"I was stung by a poisonous scorpion before, this crazy murderous poison doctor asked me to go over every day to get medicine, and he happened to be not at home when I went today, so I went to this murderer's pharmacy to get medicine as usual, because he usually puts medicine on the counter for me to pick it up, but unexpectedly, I accidentally found this hidden flower in the depths of the pharmacy!"

The young man raised his hand, like a guard who solved the mystery, proudly telling that he had discovered the "truth" - >>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

of great achievements.

After all, if it weren't for him, the entire village would have died at the hands of this murderous poison doctor, and now he is the hero of the village!

"Out of curiosity, I accidentally touched this flower, but I didn't expect that there was a plague-like illness on my right hand!"

Looking at everyone's eyes, the skin of the inch-headed young man's palm fell off, and it looked blurry and hideous, which was indeed so similar to the festering wound on everyone's skin!

"So I concluded that the injuries on everyone's bodies must have been brought by this flower, and this murderous poison doctor spread the entire village by unknown means!"

Everyone was in an uproar, they would still be suspicious when the village chief said it before, but now that the human and material evidence is there, they can't believe it! The villagers who had been a little pitiful to Zhang Lingyun before also gradually became indifferent at this time, thinking that this harmful poison doctor was really a good death!

If it weren't for Hu Tian's cleverness, they wouldn't know how to die even if they died!

"Hu Tian, you ......"

Seeing that the patient who he had finally cured was now beating himself upside down and framing him, Zhang Lingyun's blood and qi surged, and he gritted his teeth angrily.

"Now that the facts are all in front of you, what else do you want to say?" Liu Shi looked at Zhang Lingyun in disappointment.

Zhang Lingyun raised his head and looked at Jiang Bai on the side, but Jiang Bai turned his head in a panic, not daring to look at Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Linyun's heart was like a stone falling into the abyss, and he hurriedly explained to Liu Shi with a panicked expression: "No, this pot of flowers is actually ......."

But Zhang Lingyun's words were interrupted by Jiang Sheng before he finished speaking.

"It seems that you already know the harm of this pot of flowers."

Jiang Sheng looked down at Zhang Lingyun from above, why don't you say that Jiang is still old and spicy? Young people are so frizzy, and in a hurry, they don't need to extort confessions from words and deeds to tell the truth!

Jiang Sheng looked at the villagers of Xiangnan Village in front of him: "Fathers and fellow villagers, have you heard it?" ”

"This potted flower, this poison doctor, has long known its effect, and kept it to poison us! Now that the scheme has been revealed, what should we do? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, although everyone had a common idea in their hearts, but this kind of thing ...... No one dared to speak first.

It was still the inch-headed young man Hu Tian, seeing that no one was speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, took the lead in raising his hand, and said righteously:

"Kill him!"

He is the hero of the whole village, and since this is the case, the hero should set an example!

"Yes, kill him!"

"That's right, this poisonous doctor should be killed!"

"And that Huai pear, if it weren't for her ...... ten years ago"

……

Someone took the lead, and the other villagers didn't know where they got the courage, and they shouted one by one.

In the end, the cacophony gradually coalesced into a unified sound:

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

Zhang Lingyun lay helplessly on the ground, looking at the smiling faces in the past, the amiable villagers have now become completely strangers, full of murderous intent, and can't help but feel chills in his heart.

Before thinking about it, Zhang Yi actually wanted to stop the villagers from taking Huaili away, but after all, one person couldn't defeat more than 100 villagers, and he was knocked unconscious and thrown in the village with a stick, right?

Looking at the villagers in front of him, Zhang Lingyun had completely given up explaining, and Zhang Yi was right.

This group of people has gone mad, completely insane!

Now they don't even think about the anomalies of this matter, and they don't listen to their own arguments anymore.

This group of ignorant and ignorant villagers has completely gone to an extreme from the moment they are incited to emotions.

But even in the face of this group of villagers who have gone crazy, Zhang Lingyun still decided to make a final redemption.

Zhang Lingyun took a deep breath, lifted the bag that had been hanging on his body, and said in a firm voice: "I have found the medicinal materials needed to treat the plague!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the villagers fell silent.

...... to cure the plague Medicine!?

Looking at the bags in Zhang Lingyun's hands, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they should believe it or not.

"Nonsense!"

Village leader Esheng stepped forward.

"You poison doctor, do you really think that we are still so easy to deceive after seeing through your true face?"

Zhang Lingyun forcibly calmed himself down: "If I want to poison you, I have countless opportunities in ten years!" ”

"Aunt Wang, the poisonous mushroom you eat is extremely poisonous, if I want you to die, I can say that I can't do anything, not to save you, I also eat the poisonous mushroom myself to understand the toxicity!"

"Lao Liu, you were also in the poisonous miasma that time, if I have evil intentions, I can leave you alone, is it rare for Orion to accidentally die in the poisonous miasma in Wangnan Village?"

Zhang Lingyun looked around and shouted loudly: "Think about it, if I am really a poison doctor, can no one in the entire Wangnan Village die of illness in the past ten years?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly I feel that what Zhang Lingyun said seems to make sense.

But at this moment, the village leader Jiang Sheng snorted coldly: "None of them died of illness, do you think it's your credit?" ”

Then Jiang Sheng looked at the more than 100 villagers: "Don't forget, what did you eat ten years ago!" ”

Hearing this, except for Zhang Lingyun, all the villagers in Wangnan Village changed color!

"That's right, the fact that we haven't died of illness in the past ten years is not the fault of this poison doctor, but the reason for that piece of meat!" Hu Tianyi, a young man with an inch head, grinned and laughed wantonly.

"You poison doctor is really good at putting gold on your face!"

"Ten years ago? Meat? ”

Zhang Lingyun was at a loss, completely unaware of what this group of people were talking about.

But one thing Zhang Lingyun knew was that when he came to Wangnan Village ten years ago, something must have happened here that he didn't know.

As time passed, Zhang Lingyun's mind became more and more calm.

"Kill me, and the plague on you will not go away."

"If we don't kill you, the plague on our body won't disappear, it's better to kill you first, and then send someone to Shaoyang City to inform the Immortal Dynasty, and the Immortal Dynasty will save us!" Orion Liu Shi sneered.

Zhang Lingyun moved his legs slightly, allowing himself to catch his breath, and then continued to stare at Liu Shi's eyes: "What if the Immortal Dynasty can't help it?" ”

"But if the officials of Shaoyang City are troublesome and feel that the plague is too contagious and threatens Shaoyang City, then I don't need to say more about the result, right?"

The easiest way, after killing it, it's a hundred!

Liu Shi's face was gloomy, it was because of this consideration that they did not notify the Immortal Dynasty at the first time, because they were afraid that the immortals in Shaoyang City would find the epidemic too troublesome, and directly use the simplest method to strangle it in the cradle.

After all, for the immortal family, ordinary rural villagers don't matter at all!

"I went into the mountain before and encountered the fierce white tiger that once bit you......" Zhang Lingyun said.

"White Tiger!?"

Liu Shi was shocked in his heart, and his face was uncertain.

He was very experienced as a hunter, and almost no prey in this mountain could escape his arrows and traps.

But only a fierce and cunning white tiger has always made him jealous, and the only time he fought with that white tiger ended in almost being bitten off his arm.

Later, the white tiger became more cautious and never met him again, only waiting for him to be gone before coming out to hunt.

Even if he encountered that tiger, it would be more than lucky, but Zhang Lingyun survived.

"No way, you're lying!" Liu Shi denied the case.

But Zhang Lingyun retorted: "I'm still alive, it's ironclad evidence!" ”

Liu Shi was silent.

If only Zhang Lingyun entered the mountain alone, it would be impossible for the white tiger to endure it, but if he did, how could Zhang Lingyun come back alive?

"I met two immortals, and it was the immortals who rescued me and helped me collect all the herbs to cure the plague, so I came back so early."

"Immortals!?"

The villagers of Wangnan Village exclaimed, and even the village chief, Liu Shi and others looked incredulous.

"So let me go, let me make you a medicine for the plague, and then I'll take the whole family out of here, and keep my mouth shut about today's events, as if nothing happened."

"If you don't believe me, let me boil a little first, you can find someone to try it, if I have any abnormal behavior, the rest of you will rush up, and I will definitely not be able to resist."

Zhang Lingyun walked through the path.

As long as he can make potions, he can completely charm the whole village without knowing it, and then escape here with Huaili and his children!

Liu Shi, Aunt Wang, and all the villagers of Wangnan Village were a little moved.

Jiang Bai, who was standing next to Jiang Sheng, also whispered: "Father, do you want Dr. Zhang to try?" There's nothing to lose anyway. ”

Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Zhang Lingyun, you will say it!" ”

"You're a doctor, and you don't know what to do when you're making medicine, and we can't see it, right?"

Zhang Lingyun's heart sank.

Before, Zhang Lingyun felt that this old village chief was a little not simple, and his eyes were very sharp, but now the other party could see through his careful thoughts at a glance, which really made Zhang Lingyun a little frightened.

"But there is one thing you miscalculated......" Jiang Sheng squatted beside Zhang Lingyun and whispered.

"What?" Zhang Lingyun opened his mouth unwillingly.

"This plague is not a disease!" Jiang Sheng grinned, revealing his broken teeth.

Zhang Lingyun's eyes widened: "What do you mean!" ”

The wrinkles on Jiang Sheng's face writhed like a poisonous snake, and his voice seemed to come from the abyss: "This plague is just a curse from ten years ago, so your medicine doesn't work at all!" ”

Zhang Lingyun wanted to ask again, but Jiang Sheng had already stood up: "Enough nonsense, Zhang Lingyun, your poisonous doctor is extremely evil and unforgivable!" Today, the god of grains is above, kill your family, sacrifice the god of grains with your life and blood, and the god of grains will bless us Wangnan Village! It's just a plague! ”

"Blood Sacrifice!"

"Blood Sacrifice!"

"Blood Sacrifice!"

……

The other villagers also shouted loudly, raising torches and walking towards the bronze bell.

A thick sense of ominousness flashed in Zhang Lingyun's heart: "Wait, what do you want to do!" Come at me! Come at me!! ”

But the villagers were indifferent to Zhang Lingyun's words, and when the first torch fell into the pyre, dozens of torches followed, lighting the firewood around the brass bell.

The flames engulfed the brass bell in an instant!

And the people in the brass bell were either roasted alive by the high temperature or died of lack of oxygen!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lingyun's eyes instantly turned red, and a violent killing intent came directly to his mind.

Moving his right hand down, Zhang Lingyun held the dagger hidden in his waist!
