Section 18 The Ancient City of Lancen Promotes Old Age

"Strange, where did this girl go? Why can't I find it? Here she is like me, without relatives and without reason, where can she go? Really, I didn't say hello to this old man, just let go of my old man, and I fought hard to save her because of me..."Old man Cui has been looking for Situ Zhao for more than a month, but he still hasn't found Situ Zhao, and Old Man Cui still doesn't understand why Situ Zhao didn't say hello and left, because he is not familiar with life here, Old man Cui is not familiar with the people in Xuanlu, but Situ Zhao took away the only remaining machinery and equipment, and the food particles on his body can only support him for more than a week, But a week later, Cui Lao still couldn't find Situ Zhao, so he had to worry about the food. I thought that I could find something to fill my stomach on the mountain, but Cui Lao found that the road was very desolate, the mountains were all over the field and even the grass was very sparse, there were few trees, there was nothing to eat and drink, and I had to be exposed to the sun, so Cui Lao decided to find a village or a small town or something, so as to see if I could find some sources of food.

After walking for three days in a row, Cui Lao found a town, but it is very unfortunate that the people here are due to famine, so most of the people are ready to move eastward, because the Ming Linguo in the east is an extremely rich place, where there is the largest sea in Xuanlu - the fate is "Ming Linhai", where there is an inexhaustible source of water, and this is what Lancen Town is scarce now.

The town is called Lancen Ancient City, is located in the edge of the Minglin country and the vertical and horizontal country, the Ming Lin country is a rich land, and the vertical and horizontal country is a land country, although it is not a very rich country, but the food is not scarce, but the only other Lu people are puzzled is the junction of the Ming Lin country and the vertical and horizontal country, here is originally a year that can feel the breath of spring and can understand the intoxicating artistic conception of late autumn, and it is the beautiful scenery here is very attractive, so it is also the place where the Minglin country and the vertical and horizontal country must fight. But because this place is so beautiful, so beautiful that both countries can't bear to spoil this feast given by nature, and it seems to imply that the two countries should live in harmony and share the joy of peace, so the two countries have also become allies, and through a five-year marriage to maintain friendly relations between the two countries, give various preferential trade policies, the two countries open each other to each other, over time, this town has an unprecedented prosperity, it should be a paradise that everyone yearns for, but for some reason, there have always been various natural disasters here in the past two years, Such as floods, droughts, snow burials, earthquakes, etc., and often accompanied by a variety of infectious diseases, this city will die of illness every day, the people living here are miserable, because of the particularity of the location, at first both countries have sent people down to help, but what I didn't expect is that the disease here is really fierce, all the people who came here soon suffered from the same disease as the locals, less than half a month, the relief staff died of more than half of the disease, as soon as the news came out, the other two countries were very shockedNo one was willing to give relief to the people of this town, and it was also after that that the people of the ancient city of Lancen were no longer rescued by either of the two countries, and the rulers of the two countries forbade the people here to leave because they were afraid that the people here would bring diseases.

Cui Laolai also stayed with the people in this ancient city, living in the relief area established before, and the crowd here was basically like walking corpses, their eyes were blank and expressionless. Maybe we haven't experienced this, so we can't grasp this feeling—although the body is still there, but there is no soul, if there is not a body left in this world, who can prove that they were also attached to this world?

In fact, most of the people in this ancient city are also people with status, they are not short of food and money, but due to the sudden disasters in the past two years, even if you have money and status, you can't withstand this day. The disaster came very quickly, destroying everything that people now have, without giving people a chance to breathe, in an instant, people here fell from heaven to hell, here people will die every day, every day is staged life and death, every day there will be sad crying, at the beginning of this ritual is also more exquisite, but this kind of life and death parting is staged more, people have long been numb, and no longer pay attention to these rituals. People don't cry anymore, because the tears have long since dried up, and they are used to the more death that is staged; People no longer pay attention to rituals, because there are too many dead people to bury them, and the ground has long been covered with tombstones, and there is no good land left, and there is nowhere to bury it; The eyes of the people were blank, expressionless, and soulless, because they knew that they too were going to die, and they knew that no one would come to their rescue. In the past, there would be people who loved money who came over regardless of the danger, but then they all ended up with a tragedy of having money and no life to spend, so the people here were completely abandoned by the world.

When Old Man Cui saw all the things in this ancient city, he always had an indescribable feeling in his heart, which he had never had before. In addition to him, there was a woman lying in the tent, the woman was holding a sleeping baby in her arms, the baby was not big, it should have been born not long ago, the baby looked weak, and there was no blood, and the child's mother was also very thin, dressed in a shabby dull clothes, her hair seemed to have not been tidied for a long time, she didn't have any expression, she looked ahead in a daze for a long time, and then lowered her head to look at the child in her arms, But the old man obviously noticed that she didn't have the tenderness of a mother when she looked at the child, and for some reason, the mother's gaze at the child would make the old man flash a trace of uneasiness in his heart. After a while, the woman gently pulled her fingers out of the child's mouth, and then her hand couldn't help but shake, and slowly stretched out to the sleeping baby, the sight of the old man never left, only to see the woman put her palm on the baby's nose and mouth, the woman gently closed her eyes, and the hand began to increase the force, the old man's mind couldn't help but tremble, he understood what the woman wanted to do, so he didn't think much about it, and subconsciously stopped this cruel act at a very fast speed...

Urging the old pushed the woman away, snatched the child, and held it in her arms, maybe because the old man was too hard or maybe the woman was too weak, she fell to the ground, and she was no longer expressionless on the ground, but looked at the old man in surprise...

"Who are you?" The woman looked at Cui Lao carefully, and found that his appearance and dress were completely different from the people here, only to see Cui Lao wearing a strange coat, with a transparent glasses, his hair did not look like the people here, with short hair, slightly yellow hair, and a pair of black leather boots on his feet.

"He's just a newborn child, he shouldn't treat this child who just came into this world like this!" Cui Lao really couldn't bear it, although he understood the woman's helplessness, but he still said that he wanted to say, "I believe that everything will be fine, please don't give up so easily!" Don't lose hope in life..."

"Heh~" The woman seemed to hear a big joke, she seemed to be laughing, but she seemed to be crying, "There will be no hope, he~"

"Why? None of us have tried it yet! "Cui Lao himself is a person who does not admit defeat, as can be seen from the fact that he has regarded Academician Tao as a competitor for more than ten years.

"In one month, a month, this place will be in ruins, and all the people... All the people will die, all the exits in the ancient city of Lancen have been blocked, and no one can get out... Heh~ There is no hope, no one will come to us, and no one wants to come to save us, they are all liars, they are all liars... Trick us into staying here so that we can be destroyed... We have been completely abandoned... There will be no hope, heh~"

"What!" Cui Lao never expected this to be the case, and he came here in a daze... He remembered that when he found that Zhao Yatou had gone for half an hour and did not come back, so in order to find Situ Zhao, he would choose to go north, but he had been looking for almost half a month and did not find Zhao Yatou, and he still went north, when he went north, the more desolate the environment became, and at this moment, he saw that many people were also going north, and their destination seemed to be this ancient city of Lancen, so he followed this group of people here, but what he never expected was that he walked for three whole days before coming to this placeMost of the people here are ready to move east!

"Isn't there someone who was moving east the other day?"

"Heh~ They can't get out, those who want to break out are dead..."

"What?"

"They are all people who have been to the sick area, even if they are not sick, the people who have been to this place, how can those soldiers and officers let them out, have you heard of the saying - it is better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go!" She smiled, but tears slowly slipped down the corners of her eyes...

What can I do? I can't just die in this strange world like this! No, I can't sit still, I want to see what this disease is!

In the next few days, Cui Lao did not have a moment of idleness, he would visit patients with different degrees of severity every day, observing their symptoms, the process of getting sick, and the food sources they often came into contact with. Through observation, Cui Lao's heart became more and more panicked, this disease turned out to be Moying!!

"No, I have to find a way to find Zhao Yatou!"
