The Silent Man did not step forward to stop the atrocities of these servants, for he also saw that these outcasts had already been infected with the plague, and that they would die soon, and that since they were dying people, no matter how much he did, he felt that those who were alive were more worthy of his attention.

The desperate situation brought about by the plague makes people no longer hide the evil in their own nature, and the ugliness of human nature is also unobstructed in front of the plague.

The Silent One recited a Bible (a sacred scripture) to the six displaced bodies as they passed them, so that their souls might be blessed by the Holy Spirit. After reciting the Bible, the speechless continued to walk through the dead county, greeted not by the warm spring breeze but by the stench of rotting corpses.

Speechless people have long been accustomed to this smell, but still subconsciously cover their nose with their hands, because no one likes to smell this disgusting smell, if you are still a normal person.

After rounding a corner, the speechless came to the central square of the county, which was supposed to be overcrowded, and now there were no living creatures except for a few stinking corpses that had not been cleaned up in time.

There was also a tall oak tree in the middle of the square, and the Wordless Man came to sit down in the clearing around the oak tree, and only under the oak tree could he enjoy a moment of tranquility these days. The speechless closed his eyes and recalled the ........ that had happened during this time

The desperation brought about by the plague made everyone a little nervous, and some people even really believed that they could survive the plague as long as they ate the flesh of children, and in order to survive, they did not hesitate to kill their own children with their own hands, and threw the dead children into the pot and stewed them and shared them with their families.

A pair of bloodshot eyes stared straight at the stove, saliva kept flowing from their mouths, and when the pot was boiling, the man kicked the woman away, regardless of whether it was hot or not, he directly put his hand into the pot, grabbed a piece of meat and gnawed it with relish, after the man was full, the woman dared to take the bowl and scoop a spoonful of broth and drink two sips, but how much meat can a child have?

After tasting the delicious food, these people could no longer control their desires, and men took up knives and stabbed their wives, brothers, sisters, and even parents in order to eat more meat. In the end, these things were known to the county officials of the county government, and at the beginning, the county officials thought that the people below were alarmist, after all, it sounded too ridiculous.

But when the officials pressed a maniac with a cloak and blood stains all over his body to come to the county office, the county official was really startled by the man, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look carefully, the county official takes a closer look and finds that the person is biting a person's arm in his mouth, and the officer tells the county official that this guy bites when he sees someone, and when he was arrested, there was also a soldier who was bitten off the major artery with a bite, and finally died of more than bleeding.

At this moment, the county magistrate believed that the man-eating monsters that people said were true, and these so-called monsters were actually just people who had distorted human nature. The county magistrate was afraid that his people would not be able to deal with that group of monsters, so he reported the situation to the Yin Master Xing in the main city, this Yin Shi Xing was the clan brother of the Yin Master Dao of the Duke of Chu State, and his style of doing things was even more brutal and domineering than his brother Yin Shi Dao.

After receiving the report from the county magistrate, he directly sent an iron cavalry to set fire to the scene of the incident and the surrounding houses, and more than 70 people died in the fire, and many of them were ordinary innocent people. As a result, the rest of the people were extremely angry at what the people of the main city had done, and they asked why the soldiers didn't investigate before they acted. These people are the victims this time, so what about next time?

However, the soldiers of the Yin Shi Xing did not care so much, as long as you dared to make trouble, you would be executed as a rebel, and they adopted a system of joint sitting for all those who resisted, and the whole family was beheaded if one person made a disturbance, and these soldiers also stuck those severed heads in their spears, and then put spears in the door of the door of every citizen who participated in the trouble, so as to tell the other people not to try to challenge their authority.

Within a few days, no one in the county dared to contradict the people in the main city, and there were even outrageous remarks that those people were innocent, and the people in the main city did not kill innocents by mistake, and the people in the main city returned to the main city after seeing that the matter was resolved, and received the filial piety of the county officials, and the funny thing is that more people died in those days than because of the plague.

As soon as he thought of these speechless people, he couldn't bear to continue thinking about them, he slowly got up and said goodbye to the old oak tree behind him, he didn't want to ruin his only good mood because of these bad things, because today was a happy day for family reunion.

As long as you return home and see your family, all the unpleasant things of that day will disappear. It had been sixty years since he had been sent here, and over the years he had become one with the small county, where he had his wife, sons, and a host of grandchildren and granddaughters.

Not far from the central square was a high ground where the home of the Silent One lived, and not only his other saints and their families also lived on that high ground.

The heights were surrounded by strong walls, even stronger than the outer walls of the county seat, and three of the four sides of the highlands were extremely steep, with only a relatively gentle road leading to the top, so that even if the entire county had fallen to the fortified castle on the high ground, it would be able to stand.

For the people on the highlands, the arrival of the plague has no effect, it is just that they can't go out, and every day the main city convoy will bring them food and drink, so they don't understand why those people outside are so dissatisfied with the current situation?

As soon as the Silent Man entered the castle in the Highlands, he was constantly saluted by people, and he returned the salute one by one, although he was the highest person in the castle, he still liked to treat everyone equally, and it was because of his habit that everyone in the castle respected him.

Soon he came to the door of his house, after knocking on the door, a little boy who looked a little similar to him opened the door, the little boy was excited to stick to the body of the speechless person after recognizing the identity of the person, the wordless man stopped his little grandson and said with a smile, "After grandpa takes off his outer clothes, will you be close to grandpa?" The little boy nodded sensibly and went back to the house to wait.

The Silent Man went to the side room and took off his coat and threw it directly into the fire, which he would do every time he went out, in order to prevent his family from getting contaminated with the unclean things outside.

After disposing of the clothes, the speechless man walked into his home with peace of mind, he has a total of three sons, the eldest son is serving in the main city today, there is something to do today, the second son and the younger son have chosen to join the county seat of the wordless, everyone in the family is waiting for him, the head of the family, to return.

Because only when he announced that everyone could start the meal, the speechless person couldn't help but think of the few homeless people when he saw the little grandson looking at him, but he quickly left this matter behind, after all, nothing is more important than his own family, and those things will be dealt with tomorrow.
