Chapter 285: The Plague (2)
On the Wulin Continent, five miles outside the city of Nanguan, a dilapidated temple was full of smoke and dust, and hundreds of migrant workers in the courtyard were sweating, holding sledgehammers, pushing carts, and seeing that the posture was to raze the broken temple to the ground.
"Hurry up, speed up, be sure to tear it down before it gets dark. Ma Xiaohua's face was covered with a layer of dirt, and she stood on a mound of dirt and danced her hands and commanded there.
The head of the Medical Immortal Sect beside him looked at it with a few disciples. After many years, there have been a few wrinkles on the face of the dashing and handsome head of the year, Wei'an's figure is slightly fat, and he looked blankly at the flower-like junior sister, more than ten years have passed, the junior sister has not changed, the pretty face is still so young, the most incomprehensible thing for him is that after more than ten years of experience, the junior sister is not only not mature, but seems to be more naΓ―ve than before.
The fox looked at Ma Xiaohua suspiciously for a long time, and the head asked: "Senior sister, there is no village in front of the village and no store here, you spent so much money to buy this land to build a house, isn't it a little?"
"What's wrong here? Isn't it good here?" Ma Xiaohua was straightforward, looking around before and after, left and right, "There is a mountain in front of here, and a river in the back, how good the scenery is" Before the words were finished, Ma Xiaohua's voice became lower and lower, her face was full of embarrassment, and she looked fixedly, the so-called mountain was far hidden in the mist, and the river flow behind was exhausted, leaving only the riverbed, and the silt exuded an unpleasant fishy smell, and the surrounding wild grass was luxuriant, swaying with the wind, and the eyes were full of desolation.
Lowering her head and blinking, Ma Xiaohua suddenly smiled and said: "It's okay, when the house is built, the surrounding environment can be transformed, you see! I can dig a pond in that riverbed, and cultivate hundreds of acres of fertile land around it, and then I can also invite some farmers to live here, don't I have neighbors? At that time, this will be the land of fish and rice, senior brother, what do you think?"
The surprised gaze stayed on Ma Xiaohua's face for a long time, and the Nagato man nodded slightly, and said weakly: "Very good!"
Knowing that the senior brother in charge said the opposite, Ma Xiaohua said calmly: "Since you said well, it must be good, everyone hurry up, if you are willing to come and settle down here with me, just say it, you are welcome." β
Hearing this, several farmers who were working were moved, stopped, looked back at Ma Xiaohua and asked, "Boss, what you said is true?"
"Of course, this girl has always been a talker!" Ma Xiaohua clasped her hands around her waist and said angrily.
"Boss, is that a white race?" someone asked.
Ma Xiaohua hesitated slightly, thinking that it was a hundred acres of fertile land, and a hundred kinds of land would be too much of a loss, her shrewd eyes turned slightly, and then she smiled: "As long as I am full, the rest will be yours." β
Hearing this, the peasants who worked were all happy, and it was difficult to find such a good thing with a lantern.
A sturdy, dark-skinned strong man spat into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, picked up a sledgehammer and said, "Guys, since the owner is so generous, let's work harder!"
The strong man responded, the hammer was more powerful, the feet of the cart were faster, and the scene was more lively than before.
"Senior brother, you see how simple these people are, I can't ask for them to be neighbors!" Looking at the hot scene in front of her, Ma Xiaohua said with emotion. I can't help but imagine the excitement of the new house when it is completed
"Sister Xiaohua!"
Ma Xiaohua just thought of those farmers handing over grain to her, and the familiar voice behind her made her heart flutter suddenly, her body trembled slightly, her breathing became short, and her eyes looked at the people of the Yixian Sect around her in a panic, and said, "You just said you didn't see me."
The people of the Medical Immortal Sect were stunned, and when the head of the sect looked back, he was surprised: "Mo Cong!" Although he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, he had already heard about Mo Cong, so he recognized Mo Cong at a glance.
Ma Xiaohua admonished, a little panicked, and wanted to run, but was grabbed by a pair of powerful big hands.
"Sister Xiaohua, you're really here!" Mo Cong nodded again and again towards the head of the Medical Immortal Sect, and smiled at Ma Xiaohua in a blink of an eye.
"You let go of me, you let go of me" Ma Xiaohua struggled hard, seeing that she couldn't break free, she reached out and twisted a few more hands on the back of Mo Cong's hand, Mo Cong didn't let go, Ma Xiaohua was anxious for a while, lowered her head and bit the back of Mo Cong's hand.
Seeing this situation, the ** eyes of the Medical Immortal Sect stared at each other, looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Mo Cong. Mo Cong grinned and explained, "I'm sorry, let you laugh, I had a little conflict with Sister Xiaohua, hehe!"
"Oh!" everyone from the Medical Immortal Sect glared and nodded at the same time.
Ma Xiaohua bit Mo Cong in her mouth, tears rolled out of her eyes, and in her blurred vision, she saw a bright red blood flowing out of the back of Mo Cong's hand. His heart was stunned, and he immediately relented, raised his head, and there was a smear of bright red blood on his lips. Looking down, she found that Mo Cong's hand was on the back, leaving a circle of deep purple tooth marks, and some of the bright red blood beads in the tooth marks hung on the back of her hand like agate, looking up at Mo Cong, Mo Cong was still smiling, and she subconsciously grabbed the back of Mo Cong's hand.
"I'm fine, Sister Xiaohua, something big has happened to the elves," the smile on Mo Cong's face slowly retracted, and he said with anxious eyes: "Sister Xiaohua, go back with me!"
Ma Xiaohua looked at Mo Cong blankly for a long time before saying, "Don't make excuses with me, I won't go back with you." β
"Sister Xiaohua," Mo Cong grabbed Ma Xiaohua's shoulders, his eyes were more like pleading, "I don't lie to you, something really happened, it's a plague!"
"Plague!" Hearing this, everyone in the Medical Immortal Sect was full of astonishment.
"Plague!" Ma Xiaohua was startled at first, then smiled contemptuously, "Heh! don't lie to me, the doctor in the elven land is not more than enough to deal with a small plague!"
"Really, Sister Xiaohua, don't you know that this plague is particularly bad, and now it has spread to three cities, and Qin has lost a lot of weight, Sister Xiaohua," Mo Cong bit his lip, as if he had made a lot of determination, "I have already thought about it, and as soon as this matter passes, I will marry you"
Ma Xiaohua looked left and right, and the faces of those people in the Medical Immortal Sect all showed the same brilliance, and they seemed to suddenly understand something in their eyes. Ma Xiaohua's heart trembled, her face suddenly turned red, she kicked Mo Cong hard, and said in a low voice: "Why are you mentioning that here?
Seeing this, the head of the Medical Immortal Sect was stunned and asked from afar, "Senior sister, is the house still built?"
"Gai, I'll leave it all to you!"
The peasants who were working just now also heard the conversation between Mo Cong and Ma Xiaohua, and when they saw that she was leaving, they couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Hey, what about the land?"
Ma Xiaohua didn't take a few steps and stopped, when she thought of the hundred acres of fertile land, she was really a little reluctant, she looked down and thought about it, looked at Mo Cong again, took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "It's all for you." β
Holding Mo Cong and walking away, Ma Xiaohua said viciously: "It's all your fault! β
"I'll just compensate you!" Mo Cong said nonchalantly.
"You compensate me?" Ma Xiaohua's eyes flickered, and she suddenly lowered her head and asked, "Does your hand still hurt?"
Ma Xiaohua didn't mention it, Mo Cong almost forgot that he had just been bitten by her, raised his hand and looked at it, grinning with a painful face.
"Don't pretend!"
Mo Cong smiled and watched the wound on his arm gradually heal
