Volume 4 Catastrophe in Middle-earth Chapter 23 Horrific Demons

The scale of Heluo New City is not large, basically it is built by people who have escaped the military disaster, and it is surrounded by forces from all sides, none of the previous nobles are willing to come back, and the general of the General's Mansion is only a small general, when Heluo is in turmoil, he took some people to hide in the mountains for several years.

Although the old city was burned, there were still some things that could be picked up, and some of the houses that the fire did not spread to were demolished by the people who built the new city and used as building materials.

In this way, it has been useful for several years to dismantle and pick up, Heluo New Town has been built into the scale of a small city, the previous population of millions of places, now there are only tens of thousands of people left, most of these people are the servants of the former nobles' house, Heluo chaos, the nobles with their own lives, people who did not die in the military disaster, self-proclaimed 'more people' no longer regard themselves as people of the Dayong Dynasty.

All the people here are hostile to outsiders, and they always feel that they have malicious intentions, and these 'people' are very timid, in Liu Zhenquan's opinion, these people all have traumatic stress disorder in their eyes.

After asking in Xincheng for a long time, no one was willing to receive them, and no one even bothered to ask for directions.

"What's wrong with these people? Why don't you even ask for directions?"

"Traumatic Stress Disorder. ”

"What's that?"

"Post-traumatic stress disorder is a delayed and persistent mental disorder that occurs after an individual experiences, witnesses, or encounters one or more actual deaths, or threatens to die, or is seriously injured, or threatens physical integrity, involving themselves or others: its complexity is manifested in the development of associated mental disorders, often in conjunction with related mental disorders. ”

"Uncle Shi, I don't understand. ”

"It's a psychological condition, so it's the ones who have communication barriers. ”

In fact, Liu Zhenquan had a friend in his previous life who was very strange because he had experienced a car accident, and he only learned about this disease after examination. If he didn't know about this disease, Liu Zhenquan wouldn't have been able to judge why these 'other people' were like this.

Praruo looked at Liu Zhenquan curiously, but she didn't expect this little Taoist priest to know something she didn't even know.

"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, where do you know this?"

"My teacher is huge, of course, I was taught by my brother on behalf of my teacher. ”

"Can that teach me?"

"You come to my door?"

"Daoist, I have been a student under my uncle. ”

"That's it, don't find a place to stay, don't say you still want to eat cold and hard dry food. ”

When thinking of those dough cakes that were suppressed and very hard in order to preserve them for a long time, Liu Xin'er and Yi Tianqiu shuddered together.

.......

Just when Liu Zhenquan and a few people were worried about accommodation, a group of patrolling people came over on the side, and the 'rest of the people' here spontaneously organized some patrols in order to protect themselves, and one of them said to Liu Zhenquan and his party: "I won't take you here, outsiders are all in the west of the city, and there are shantytowns where to live." ”

Liu Zhenquan asked curiously: "Little brother, why are you the only one who is willing to tell us where you live, and the others don't want to pay attention." ”

"We are mountain people, different from those who fled into the mountains. ”

Liu Zhenquan nodded after hearing this, and arched his hand: "Thank you, little brother." ”

.........

Liu Zhenquan and his entourage arrived in the west of the city, although there were only a few shantytowns, but there was still a lot of vacancy, and because the people here were xenophobic, some traders were reluctant to come.

To the west of the city is the Luo River, and there is a river beach next to the shantytown, but it is overgrown with reeds.

Looking through the reeds, it was full of fat loach eels.

Yi Tianqiu said happily: "Dao Chief, wait a minute, take me to make some loaches and yellow eels, and we will stew soup and drink later." ”

At this time, there was a lukewarm sentence on the side: "I advise you not to eat, I heard that the Heluo military disaster was heard before, and the dead bodies floated all over the Luohe River, and no one dared to eat the fish and shrimp in this water for thirty or fifty years." ”

Hearing this, everyone lost their appetite.

When everyone heard the voice, they saw that it was indeed the Taoist from before.

"I'm here to tell you that it's not safe at night here lately, so you better leave early. ”

Liu Zhenquan said: "The land of Heluo is fine during the day, but it is lifeless at night, and I don't feel normal without some ghosts.

The Taoist said: "The poor road is white in the white deer cave, and I have seen Taoist friends." ”

"What's going on here?"

"Poor Dao failed to catch the ghost, but the ghost was like a light veil under the moon, and every time he let it go, Poor Dao rescued several victims, and they all heard the sound of wind chimes when they were attacked. Those who were killed had drained their blood and turned into a dried corpse without any wounds. ”

"If there is no wound, it should be a very powerful ghost, as long as the ghost is present, it can make the qi and blood churn and evaporate. ”

"Yes, Poor Dao also thinks so, if there is such a high-level and profound cultivation of a monster, it is not controlled by Poor Dao, why do you quickly run away every time you see Poor Dao. ”

"Can you bring someone to hunt demons?"

"Therefore, I dare not ask for it. ”

"Then when the poor Dao settles down with friends, Daoist friends can send people to find me. ”

"Good. ”

.........

At night, Yu Bai brought people to come, and took a brave meal, with a jar of village brew at one end, and some vegetables at the other, and it was rare that there was a big rooster in it. made Yi Tianqiu and Liu Xin'er, who had been willing to dry food for many days all the way, drool.

"Why did you drag your family here? ”

"I don't know, I passed by the Liu clan in Hedong and saw that my deceased brother's daughter was stubborn, so I had to stay by my side and teach. ”

"I never thought that the Taoist chief was from the Liu family, I don't know what the relationship between the chief and Liu Wenzheng is?"

"It's my brother. ”

When the man who carried the burden heard it, he immediately stood in awe and said: "I never thought it was Liu Wenzheng, most of the 'rest of the people' here were saved by Liu Wenzheng, and it was our mistake to let you live in this shack." ”

After speaking, he bowed and apologized to Liu Zhenquan and his party, and then immediately turned around and walked away.

Yu Bai said with a smile: "This time, I will give you a place to live regularly, Xiaodao has lived here for many days?"

"I don't want my brother to have such a reputation, we all trust him to Yu Ze. ”

After waiting for a while, a group of people came, led by a person dressed as a military general, and a group of people immediately apologized when they saw Liu Zhenquan and said: "I didn't want to snub Brother Engong, we are guilty, we are ready to go to the two rooms, please move to Engong and others." ”

Liu Xin'er covered her mouth and tried not to cry out, although her father had the protection of her uncle in her early years, she still had an unsatisfactory life, and she had to put on a coat of a mother worm, and at this moment she disappeared in her heart for many years, and she couldn't help but be proud of such a father, although her father did not grow up with her since she was a child, but he left her the best things.
