In the middle of the cold night, a few rocks flew and smashed into the first few people who rushed to the food, and a group of homeless people rushed in and surrounded the field again. There were even some half-grown children with numb and withered faces who rushed directly to the campfire and competed for the leg of mutton.

Zhang Jiao's face turned pale, he bit his lip tightly, ran to the two children, picked it up, and retreated behind Yu Ji. It seemed to him that some of the half-grown children who had come to grab food had red eyes, black cheeks, and when he reached out, he saw that their nails were also pitch black. It's like the plague of the past.

Yes, there were people in the village who were infected with this disease, and they all died violently within a few days, but fortunately, their houses were burned down by the order of the village leader, so that not too many people were infected. Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao became more and more nervous, he pulled Yu Ji's sleeve and said hoarsely.

"Senior brother, they... They were infected... Infected with the plague..."

"It's okay, just watch!" Yu Ji snorted, took a sip of wine, and ignored it.

"Where did you hide them!?" The thin man who took the lead shrank his eyes and yelled at Ma Yuanyi.

The dozen or so people were shocked. As soon as I stepped into the range of this bonfire, I couldn't see the four of them. The four of them disappeared in a flash, so they looked nervously around the willow forest.

"They can't see us?" Zhang Jiao was surprised, and his nervous heart was pounding, because he saw a leg of mutton being torn apart by the half-grown children in a short time, and they rushed to the group of homeless people regardless of the heat, and were surrounded by their respective adults.

"Brother Ma, I'm sorry, we can help you stop these people." Four men also stood up in the group of displaced people, with guilt on their faces, and arched their hands towards Ma Yuanyi. Standing behind Ma Yuanyi. There were also some homeless people standing behind the dozen or so men.

This is the survival rule of the homeless, where there is any humanity and morality, there is only the ferocity and cunning of the beast. Most of the displaced people standing here have been helped by Ma Yuanyi. If he hadn't taken the lead in covering most of the people when he rushed to the school grounds, he might not have made it here alive. There were also some people with wounds on their bodies, and if Ma Yuanyi hadn't cut his robes to cut them up and bandage them, they would have become food for crows or wild beasts, turning into dry bones on the side of the road.

"You guys! … What a wolf's heart! Ma Yuanyi looked angrily at the group of people who walked behind the man who took the lead.

"You've got some food! It's even here, and there are leg of mutton to eat, you brute who can't be saved! It's clear that your heart is like a stone, and you still have the face to accuse us! Some people screamed, and some of them even had Ma Yuanyi's clothes on them bandaged their wounds.

"Hehe, hurry up and hand over the children and the rest of your food, I know you hid them. For the sake of you helping me, we will not kill you. The lean man who took the lead saw that there were more and more people behind him, and the fierceness in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and said in a deep voice.

"You're dreaming!" Ma Yuanyi was anxious and swung his knife to slash at this person. But as soon as he took a step, his waist suddenly tightened! A man standing behind him made a move, but it was indeed Ma Yuanyi who stabbed him. The other three people couldn't bear it, but they didn't stop it.

Wow!

Suddenly, countless Hokages came out of the bonfire, like a ghost bathed in fire, surrounding the man who attacked and injured people.

"Ah......h A living person instantly became a charred corpse, and he only had time to scream,

The faces of the people turned so pale, that they even forgot to run away. looked at Yu Ji who came out of the shadows in horror.

Yu Ji couldn't sit still, and he didn't expect that Ma Yuanyi would be stabbed by the man who had just surrendered to Cheng. Enraged, he stepped out of the shadows, and gradually changed from a rickety old peasant to a handsome and upright middle-aged man.

Yu Ji held a fluttering flame in his left hand, and the images of the fire coming out of the campfire approached him like a pilgrimage. His right hand was another finger, and a cloud of green light flew out from his fingertips, and this willow forest instantly seemed to come to life.

Willow branches flew out one after another, binding the dozen or so people firmly.

"Humph!" Yu Ji stood with his hands in his hands, snorted angrily, and looked at the dozen or so people angrily.

"Immortals! There are immortals! The people around me were so frightened that they all fell to the ground. Even a few men who had just approached the opposite side and wanted to commit murder hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, their bodies trembling like chaff.

"You... It's really an immortal..."Ma Yuanyi was also stunned, he thought that the person in front of him was at most a monk who knew some magic. Now he was so frightened that he couldn't even cover the bleeding wound on his waist, and knelt on the ground.

Zhang Jiao also walked out of the shadows, his heart was mixed, and he shook his head bitterly. The two children next to him also had pale faces, and they each hugged Zhang Jiao's two thighs and didn't let go.

"Senior brother, what do you think, these people?" Yu Ji also ignored the kneeling crowd and turned his head to look at Zhang Jiao, his eyes uncertain from the light and dark illuminated by the surrounding fire shadows.

"Senior brother... Save them... I think a lot of them are just trying to eat in one bite..."Zhang Jiao wanted to defend these people, but when he thought of what they had done before, he seemed a little powerless as soon as he opened his mouth. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. Then he pursed his lips tightly, and looked at Yu Ji with a pleading gaze with blurred teary eyes.

"Alas..." Yu Ji sighed, and with a wave of his left hand, the humanoid firelight disappeared, and the whole world suddenly changed.

Everyone present shivered in unison, woke up like a dream, and looked at the place. Everything was as if it hadn't happened, and it seemed to be frozen at the moment when the man stabbed Ma Yuanyi. All the people who had been kneeling were standing around again. The bright bonfire was still burning, crackling from time to time, and the leg of lamb on the bonfire was still there, bubbling with grease and fragrant.

The willow branches tied to the bodies of the dozen or so people were gone, and only a dozen people were left lying on the ground, but they still couldn't move. The man who stabbed the yin knife in the back also stood stiffly behind Ma Yuanyi, and a dagger in his hand had stabbed into Ma Yuanyi's waist.

"False... Fake? Someone in the crowd trembled and whispered to himself.

"No... No..."Then everyone looked at Yu Ji in unison, he had already changed from an old peasant to a middle-aged man, and he was still looking around coldly. Everyone looked at the dozen men in unison, they were all lying on the ground, their weapons scattered around them, there was nothing on their bodies, strangely enough, they were still tied up, and even the lean man in the lead was still struggling, as if he was breaking free from the willow branch that did not exist.

"Ahh Ma Yuanyi roared in pain, and his body took a step forward to break out, and his body carried the dagger that was inserted. And the man behind him who stabbed people slowly fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and his pupils were dilated. His body made a sizzling sound, his skin was red, and it was shrinking as if it had been dried up, and in a moment he became a dried corpse, and his clothes were unharmed.

……

"Ah, big brother, I'm scared." Finally, a voice broke the silence, and the two children hugged their horned thighs and trembled. They also stood behind Yu Ji and were not around the campfire.

"Both... It's all true! He... He's an immortal! Someone reacted, and quickly knelt on the ground and saluted Yu Ji.

The surrounding people, including Ma Yuanyi, finally reacted, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted immortals.

"Get up." Yu Ji looked around at these homeless people and slowly spoke. Then he walked slowly to the dozen or so people.

"Immortals spare their lives, immortals spare their lives!" The dozen or so people had already been frightened, and the willow branches on their bodies were gone, but they still seemed to be tied up, and it was difficult to break free. Seeing Yu Ji coming step by step, he kept begging for mercy.

"Why do you want to do this? Who is that man? Yu Ji looked at the lean man who took the lead, pointed his finger at the dried corpse on the ground, and asked. With another wave of his hand, he let go of the man.

The man's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and climbed to Yu Ji's feet, not daring to raise his head. "I said, immortal, I said, I... Fifteen of us were originally at the Hejian County schoolyard... The homeless people who gathered together with Brother Ma Yuanyi on the school field, taking advantage of the aristocratic lords to pick slaves, Brother Ma Yuanyi took us to escape from one side. Can... But then a few of us were caught by the county soldiers! They... They said that as long as they could catch a person and sell it to the gentry, they would give a bucket of wheat...... "Speaking of this, the man was in a cold sweat, trembling, and he didn't dare to say anything further, so he looked up and peeked at Yu Ji.

"Speak quickly!" Yu Ji's face turned pale.

"Say, say, say." The man saw that Yu Ji was angry, and yellow and white things poured out from between his two strands, and the feces and urine flowed together, soaking his pants, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly spoke. "The Marquis of Hejian County should be... At that time, slaves were being chosen, and they were choosing... Choose some white and clean babies for the little marquis... As a waiter, Master Hou saw it from afar... When I saw the two babies beside Ma Yuanyi, I thought it was good, so I was... I ordered the county soldiers to chase after me and wait, I... When I ran slowly, I was caught by the soldiers, and they said that if we could send the two dolls back, they would give each of them one stone of corn..." I couldn't stop shaking with my head down.

Zhang Jiao listened and looked at the dozen or so people in front of Yu Ji. Eleven, plus the person who stabbed Ma Yuanyi in the back, and three who had never done anything, just fifteen people.

With a wave of his hand, Yu Ji imprisoned the three men behind Ma Yuanyi who had never done anything.

"It's up to you." Yu Ji sighed and looked at Ma Yuanyi.

Ma Yuanyi couldn't help it, saluted Yu Ji, and rushed to the thin man to raise his leg and kick it. "I have never had a grudge against you, and I even helped you, is this how you reciprocate!?"

"Spare your life! Brother Ma! ”

"Spare your life! Brother Ma! ”

"We are also forced to be helpless!"

"We want to live, too!"

More than a dozen people shouted in unison.

Ma Yuanyi held the firewood knife tightly in his hand, looking sad, and then his hands hung down weakly, and he sat on the ground in vain. He knew that more than a dozen counties in Jizhou had been affected by the disaster, and many people had starved to death in the lighter ones, and in the serious counties, in addition to some large gentry and wealthy families, they had food to eat, and the rest of the people had starved to death. Even some of the places that were not plagued were plagued, and it was very difficult to get in and out. Some displaced people thought that they would survive by fleeing out of Jizhou to Sili and Yuzhou. But as a result, as soon as they left the county, out of Jizhou, and arrived in Sili, more and more homeless people still fled.

Ma Yuanyi was at a loss, the world is so big, there is no place for them to live as homeless, can they only sell their dignity as slaves? Or do they lose their humanity and harm each other? Or do you want to be a scoundrel?

His eyes were blank and tearful. Turning his head to look at Yu Ji, he bowed down.

"Guru...... Save us outcasts. ”
