These displaced people had apparently fled due to a natural disaster, and happened to encounter the group of medicine seekers.

Kiriyama stood quietly behind, observing Xu Fu's choice.

"Get out of the way, and don't stand in the way."

General Nanzhou brandished a horsewhip and tried to drive them away.

But the homeless people just squatted down with their heads in their hands, and had no intention of getting out of the way.

"Wait, General."

Xu Fu raised his hand to ask General Nanzhou to stop, and came to those kneeling down.

"Where are you from?"

He asked.

"Report, report to your lordship, we are from Mucheng, five days ago, the demon invaded, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were killed, we fled here, we have been hungry for three days and three nights, please help us!"

The old man with gray temples hurriedly said.

"Do you know how to read?"

Xu Fu felt that this person spoke quite clearly, as if he had read a book.

"Report sir, I'm a teacher at a private school, and I've read some books."

The old man immediately looked up and replied.

"Come here, explain the situation carefully to me."

Xu Fu beckoned and asked the old man to step forward, the other party stood up tremblingly, came to Xu Fu, and told Xu Fu everything he had seen and heard.

Kiriyama listened and quickly figured out the ins and outs.

It turns out that in this world, demons are not just ordinary monsters, they will swarm and swoop, sometimes attacking an entire town, slaughtering everyone in it.

Mucheng was unfortunately attacked by demons, most of the people in the city were slaughtered, or this teacher took the students to study outside the city, only to escape by luck, but they did not dare to return to the city, with the survivors, all the way along the post road escaped, met the team of medicine messengers.

Kiriyama watched coldly, wanting to see what Xu Fu was going to do with these people.

It is absolutely impossible to provide water and food, and the supply of the team is fixed, and there are some peasant families living outside the city, in addition to the students, there are forty or fifty people, and it costs a lot to distribute a meal.

Moreover, the wooden city is on the next path, theoretically, they should have to resupply the wooden city, and now that it is occupied by demons, they have to find other ways.

It's not that you're afraid of demons, but if you can avoid war, you should avoid war as much as possible, and don't fight a meaningless war.

"My lord, there are so many of us here, we don't want to embarrass you, we just hope to provide a meal to relieve hunger, we know that we can reach Fengcheng by continuing to walk along this road for three days, I kneel down for you here, I hope you can save us."

The old man knelt down again, obviously, he also knew that Xu Fu could not solve the problem completely, so he only offered to give them one meal so that they would not starve to death on the way.

"What are you talking about, our food and herbs are limited, we have to go to Mucheng to replenish, and now that Mucheng has fallen and fallen, it's too late for us to ask for sin, why are you embarrassed to come and ask for food?"

The assistant to the medicine envoy asked sharply.

"Do you know who we are, we are the messengers of His Majesty who went to seek immortal medicine, if it is because you untouchables have neglected Your Majesty's great cause, it is not enough to kill a hundred heads!"

"Hey, don't worry, Brother Huijiang."

Xu Fu stopped Huijiang, and he called Nanzhou.

"General Nanzhou, how much water and food do we have?"

"Lord Qiyu, there are still ten days of water and seven days of food."

Originally, according to the plan, they would be able to arrive in Mucheng in two days to get supplies, so in order to increase the speed of travel, they did not carry too much food, and there were streams to get water halfway, and there were wild beasts in the forest to hunt, so it was really calculated, and there was no problem in eating for ten days and half a month.

"My lord, there are so many people here, and the amount of food they want is not a small amount."

On the side, Hui Jiang saw what Xu Fu meant and reminded.

"Yes, my lord, the demons have occupied the wooden city, we still need to take a detour, if we distribute food, maybe the soldiers will have some complaints."

General Nanzhou apparently also did not agree to the disaster relief.

"I ask for immortal medicine for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can protect the world, if you don't save yourself at this time, then how to talk about protecting the world, I believe that if Your Majesty is here, he will definitely make the same decision as me."

With a wave of his hand, Xu Fu asked General Nanzhou to distribute some of the food to these victims, and those scrawny victims immediately thanked Dade and knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Fu.

"Old man, what do those demons look like?"

As the victims devoured it, Kiriyama leaned over and asked the teacher.

"They, they look like insects, covering the sky and the sun, and some have scythe-like blades, and the soldiers defending the city will collapse at the touch of a button, and there is no way to resist them!"

The old man replied.

"Is this the first time you've seen a demon?"

Kiriyama asked again, and he took out a piece of dry food from his bosom and handed it to the old man's arms.

"This adult, I saw it once from afar when I was a child, but I couldn't see it really, at that time, the demon attacked the village, and my father and mother just took me away and didn't take a closer look."

The old man hurriedly stuffed the dry food into his clothes and replied.

"Before that, had you heard of an evil attack somewhere else? There was no case where you were attacked by demons and defended it? ”

Kiriyama continued to ask.

"I've heard that the city was once attacked by demons, but the soldiers defending the city worked together to resist the attack of demons."

The old man replied, finished the dry food in his hand, and bowed his head to Kiriyama.

"Thank you, thank you, your lord."

The group of victims had eaten and continued along the road, and they had to walk for several more days before they could reach the next city, and whether they could survive it in the middle was up to Creation.

Looking at the sudden lack of grain and grass, General Nanzhou looked embarrassed.

"My lord, we need to plan what to do next."

"Thanks to these victims, otherwise we would have to go directly to Mucheng, and when the time comes, we will encounter demons, and it is difficult to guarantee that we will not suffer heavy losses."

Xu Fu looked at the victims and said in a deep voice.

Hui Jiang thought about it carefully, and it was indeed such a truth.

"The flying pigeon sent a message to Tangcheng to see what was going on on their side, and we continued along the post road."

He commanded.

"Does this demon only attack one city at a time?"

Kiriyama leaned over at this time and asked.

"These demons and evil gods are haunted, but most of them only slaughter the people and rarely occupy land, let's contact Tangcheng first, if it's okay over there, we can get supplies there."

Xu Fu did not hide it.

"If Tangcheng also falls, we may have to go to Xucheng again, and it will be even farther, and it will take at least thirty days."

Kiriyama nodded.

In the early morning of the next day, the carrier pigeon that was supposed to return did not arrive as scheduled, and everyone looked solemn.

"It seems that Tangcheng is also in trouble."

Xu Fu looked at General Nanzhou, and asked again to check the grain and grass.

"I have a proposal."

Just as the few of them were embarrassed and discussing the direction of their next journey, Kiriyama suddenly raised his hand.

"Let's go find out what's going on in Wood City."
