"Let's go! Let's get it! Get out of the way! ”

Three or four men dressed as guards in the west of the city hurried from the corner of the street with a wooden cart wrapped in heavy cloth with several adult-sized items.

Pedestrians on the street saw the wooden cart as if they had encountered a flood beast, and hurriedly scattered to avoid it.

Before he could react, Shen Mochi was dragged by the people around him, and as soon as he retreated, the wooden cart drove in front.

The wooden wheels hit the gravel, the car jolted hard, one of the pieces of fabric was blown away by the wind, and a miserable white hand fell out.

The exposed hand remained in the air for only a moment, and was re-covered with cloth by the cart's guards.

When the guards pushing the wooden carts disappeared at the end of the street, the people around them continued to work on their business.

Shen Mochi frowned, thinking of the task given by the Coming City Commander Ling Sect this time, and asked the eldest lady who had just pulled him along.

"Auntie, do you know what's going on? Is it a dead man? ”

The plot that Shen Mochi knew was just that the heroine got acquainted with the Demon Venerable in Lincheng and encountered something tricky, and the plot did not specifically address what happened.

"Yo, the little boy is from out of town, right?" The middle-aged lady straightened the bamboo basket hanging on her wrist and said, "Is there something you have to do with coming to the city?" Why don't you get out of here if there's nothing to do? ”

"Auntie, can you tell me why?" Shen Mochi was aroused by curiosity, and took out a lychee he had just bought and stuffed it to the eldest lady.

Taking the lychee handed over by the man, the eldest lady glanced at the girl in the other party's arms and slowly pouted at the bunch of food, cleared her throat and began to narrate.

"Recently, there have been demons in this city, and anyone who is marked by the demons will die within two of them.

When those people died, they were either sucked dry by the demons, or they were rotten and stinky. ”

"Where did this start in the first place?"

"I started from the surrounding villages, and I also heard from people, but every day I can see the guards of the City Lord's Mansion disposing of corpses, and I definitely can't fake it."

As the eldest lady was talking, she saw several guards pushing wooden carts through the street, and the corpses were still covered with cloth.

Waiting for the wooden cart to pass by, Shen Mochi hesitated for a moment and decided to follow and take a look.

However, the eldest lady stopped him, and he interspersed in the crowd with the little mermaid, followed the guards along the street, and walked for a while to hide his figure after no one was paying attention.

After pushing the corpse out of the city gates, the guards walked down a nearby path, which they followed for more than an hour until they stopped at a village.

The village is dilapidated and almost abandoned.

The entire village was guarded by armed guards.

At first glance, there are about 100 people in the dilapidated village, some huddled in their houses, others hiding outside, like a makeshift camp.

The guards carried the bodies in wooden carts to the pit at the back of the village, then lifted the cloth that wrapped the bodies and pushed them directly into the pit.

The earth pit was about four or five meters wide and several feet deep, and there were hundreds of corpses in it, most of which had rotted and had maggots, and the big dogs were soaring into the sky.

Lan Yaoyao glanced down and then withdrew his gaze, wrinkled his little face in disgust and buried his head in Shen Mochi's chest.

"Brother, it stinks, shall we go?" The sound of the girl's urn came from her chest.

"Shh

Shen Mochi gently patted the girl's back to signal quiet, but fortunately, there were all the wails of those people gathered here, and Lan Xiaoxiao's voice did not attract any attention.

"I know, I don't speak." The girl immediately covered her mouth and raised her head, obediently admitting her mistake.

The two of them walked around this guarded village for more than an hour, and from the communication of the people around them, they found out that this was the concentration of epidemic people.

Since three months ago, there have been people in the vicinity of Lincheng who have been suffering from strange diseases.

At first, I didn't pay attention until more and more people developed this symptom.

At first, they just itched on their bodies, and small red bumps grew all over their bodies, but it didn't take long for the small bumps to start turning into pus, and the pain was unbearable, and no medicine worked, even the cultivators couldn't do anything.

In the end, these people can only die of pain, and after death, the blood in their bodies suddenly disappears, as if they have been sucked dry by something.

Now in Lincheng, as long as anyone is found to have this symptom, they will be immediately sent to this village to be guarded.

At first, the city lord of Lincheng would send a doctor to treat him, but after several tosses, not only the patient's symptoms could not be relieved, but a doctor was infected by one, and finally the city lord had to give up on these people and let them fend for themselves.

The epidemic people here range from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to the newborn children.

In fact, most of the people who were exchanged here did not die of illness, but of starvation.

The people in Lincheng sent the affected people here, but they would not prepare food for them, and many were starved to death within a few days of being captured.

Looking at this temporary isolation zone like purgatory on earth, Shen Mochi frowned.

His heart moved, and he shrank into inches, leaving the foul-smelling area, and appeared at the mouth of the woods outside the village.

At a distance of thirty meters, Shen Mochi touched Lan Yaoyao's head, and said in a serious voice: "Xiaoxiao, do you want to help those people?" ”

Don't want to.

The girl moved her snow-white feet, tilted her head to think, and after a while, she said in embarrassment: "Can my brother help them?" I will get sick, and I don't want my brother to get sick. ”

"My brother is a cultivator, so he won't get sick." Shen Mochi was moved in his heart.

Sure enough, his little mermaid is the best in the world, and he cares about him so much.

He will definitely teach the little merman to be a good girl with three views and integrity, and he will never become the villain in the plot.

"Then tomorrow my brother will take Xiaoxiao to see them and bring them food, don't worry, my brother will help them." As he spoke, Shen Mochi rubbed the top of the girl's hair, revealing the relief of an old father.

“…… Well, listen to my brother. Lan Xiaoyao sniffed, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

She really didn't want to come here again, ugly and dirty, and those lowly Terrans.

So, the two reached a consensus inexplicably, one was full of pride and pride, and the other was disgusted and had to cooperate with the other.

The two left the village, and as soon as they returned to the city to settle down in a box for temporary living, they were inspected by the guards of the city.

The process is not complicated, you only need to open the sleeves to show the guards their wrists, and all the rashes on their wrists will be taken away.

Among them are people who want to avoid examination and cut off the skin at the site of the rash with a knife.

Because once you are captured by the guards, it means that there is no way to live.

And the people who are infected are the majority, so this Lincheng is so calm now.

Tightly in a shop where Shen Mochi lived, there were more than a dozen people carrying it away.

"It's over, it's all over, I knew we shouldn't have come to the city in the first place."

"Shouldn't you come? Aren't you infected? If you want to go, just leave. Shen Mochi heard the people around him complaining, so he took the opportunity to answer.

"Let's go?" The man smiled bitterly, "You must have just come, I haven't seen you before, as long as you enter this city, no one can leave until this serious illness is over." ”

"You know why Lincheng is like this. Are there any guests in the inn? ”
