Liuyun Sword Sect 81. Say goodbye without saying goodbye
"It's all coarse grains, what pigs and dogs don't eat for us to eat, hum!" Jiang Shaoling picked up a piece of corn, frowned, and a little disgust appeared on his white face.
Ye Ang said with relief: "Senior Brother Jiang, don't be too picky, this place can't be found in front of the village or behind the store, it's good to have this kind of thing to eat, where can I get you some delicious food!
Jiang Yue'er carefully picked up a piece of baked potatoes and said curiously: "What is this, it's black, it looks so dirty!"
"That's a potato, it's the same as the potato we eat, it tastes good, you can try it! Ye Ang grabbed a piece of sweet potato casually, ate it deliciously, and asked Murong Ziyun again.
Murong Ziyun glanced at it, frowned, and said lightly: "I'm not hungry, you can eat!"
Jiang Yue'er said unhappily: "It's dirty, if it's shredded potatoes, I can still eat it, but I can't eat this kind of coarse grain, and it's almost the same to feed the pigs, what a shame!"
Lu Chen didn't talk much, picked up a piece of sweet potato and ate it, and didn't feel anything ashamed. He had never experienced anything during the period of training with his master Yao Chi, and he even gnawed on tree roots and ants and mice, and this kind of native coarse grain was already a delicacy for him.
After eating and drinking, the five of them sat down next to the campfire to meditate and breathe, recuperating. After all, when I arrived in Longyanggang, I didn't know what the situation was, and it was most important to maintain full energy.
In the dead of night, the door of the dark log cabin was gently pushed open a crack.
Ye Ang was the first to open his eyes, and turned his head to look in the direction of the door, where the old woman's cold eyes were staring at him faintly.
Doubts flashed in Ye Ang's eyes. Then he got up, walked lightly to the door of the wooden house, whispered to the old woman for a while, he glanced back at Lu Chen and the four of them, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out of the wooden house.
After the door of the wooden house was closed, Yeon never returned.
It wasn't until dawn that the four of them woke up from their meditation.
"Hey, what about Ye Ang!" There was one less person in the room, which instantly aroused the vigilance of the four people, Jiang Yue'er was the first to notice that the person was missing, because last night, Ye Ang was sitting next to him.
"Late last night, that old woman came!" Lu Chen said in a deep voice, last night, the old woman gently pushed the door open, and Lu Chen noticed it for the first time, but he didn't say anything.
Murong Ziyun looked surprised: "What is she here for?"
"I don't know, I just saw Ye Ang go out and talk to the old woman in a low voice for a while, then went out and never came back!" Lu Chen said truthfully, the old woman was obviously just an ordinary village woman, and she didn't have any breath on her body, Ye Ang, as an elite disciple of the Sword Sect, had reached the peak of the eighth fold, could it be that even an old woman couldn't deal with it. So, he didn't take it seriously.
Jiang Shaoling propped up his waist and said, "I guess I ate too much dry food, and I have a stomach!"
"Then why is Lu Chen okay after eating?" Jiang Yue'er wondered.
Jiang Shaoling glanced at Lu Chen, and said mockingly: "People are born with mud legs, and they grew up with coarse grains like snacks, so we can compare with him!"
Murong Ziyun's expression was cold: "Don't say a word, let's find Ye Ang first!"
Crunch, at this moment, the wooden door was pushed open again, and the old woman walked in with a bent waist: "Everyone, the little guy named Ye Ang just now left beforehand, and he asked the old woman to bring you a message!"
Murong Ziyun took a few steps forward and asked softly with a very refined voice, "Old woman, what did Ye Ang say when he left?"
"He said that he had found the traces of the drought fish, and he would take the first step and let you meet in Longyanggang!" the old woman said in a hoarse voice, and no expression could be seen on her wrinkled face.
"Found traces of the drought?" Everyone was amazed.
Murong Ziyun thought for a moment, and said without hesitation: "Without further ado, let's hurry up, something big has happened!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the black wooden house, Jiang Shaoling and Jiang Yue'er saw this and hurriedly followed.
Lu Chen also raised his heel, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head to look at the old woman, and his eyes flashed with doubt. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the old woman seems to smile sadly.
"Is it a delusion?" Lu Chen said secretly in his heart.
The group of four walked out of the black wooden house, turned over and got on the horse, and immediately set off for the direction of Longyanggang.
In the early morning, the strange fog quietly dissipated, the rain stopped, and it became much easier to travel.
"Drive, drive, drive.....!"
Murong Ziyun urged the horse under his crotch to gallop, facing the wind along the way, wearing a hat, a pale cyan robe hunting, and a delicate Flowing Shadow Sword in his hand.
"Senior sister, you wait for us!" Jiang Yue'er shouted anxiously from behind.
Murong Ziyun didn't reply: "Can't wait, Ye Ang must have found something, otherwise he wouldn't have run out without even saying hello!"
"Ye Ang, this kid is too nonsense, he said before he came, everyone will act together. Who would have thought that he would leave us behind and act in advance, he wouldn't want to take the lead!" Jiang Shaoling said with a complaining face.
Jiang Yue'er rolled her eyes and said, "Big brother, don't always spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Senior Brother Ye Ang is not as careful as you!"
"Hey, Yue'er, how did you talk to your eldest brother!" Jiang Shaoling glared and said, his sister's attitude made him very dissatisfied.
Lu Chen followed behind, silent, frowning, always feeling that something was wrong in the front and back.
An hour later, a group of four people finally arrived at Longyanggang.
However, the scene that caught the eye surprised several people.
At the entrance of the town, there is a plaque, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance write three big characters 'Longyanggang', I don't know what external force has been damaged, collapsed on the side, cracks are clustered on it, only the corner of the word 'dragon' is still intact, the rest has been dilapidated, the surrounding gravel is full of ground, extremely messy.
"This is Longyanggang, what's going on?" Jiang Shaoling looked at this scene in surprise, with a blank expression.
"Let's go, go in and have a look!" Murong Ziyun turned over and dismounted, not caring about so many questions, and directly led the blue-maned horse into Longyanggang.
Lu Chen and Jiang Shaoling also did not hesitate and walked in.
However, after walking into Longyanggang, they were surprised to find that Longyanggang seemed to have been ransacked by bandits, the streets were empty, the surrounding houses were also dilapidated, and the two sides of the street were full of dustpans and silk and other daily necessities that were blown all over the ground by the wind, which looked extremely bleak.
The autumn wind was blowing in the streets, the pennies and wheelbarrows were scattered all over the place, and the broken wooden windows were flapping hard, as if they were silently mocking the crowd, and they were dead.
There are nearly 400 families living in Longyanggang, and the town is full of laughter and laughter on weekdays. However, at this moment, it was like entering a ghost town, not to mention human figures, not even a single domestic animal, it was really weird, Murong Ziyun and his party were a little more cautious when they saw this situation.
If something goes wrong, it will be a demon!
"Senior sister, we are surrounded!" Lu Chen said suddenly.
Murong Ziyun was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly looked around, only to find that at some point, many people appeared in the streets and alleys, holding wooden sticks, pig-killing knives, flat poles and other instruments in their hands, approaching them step by step, their eyes were full of hatred and murderous aura, and their abnormal behavior made people feel extremely strange.
"They're walking corpses, kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
I don't know who shouted, the whole street began to sound shouting and killing, and the strange atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Murong Ziyun and his party were all stunned.
These people knew at a glance that they were the people of Longyanggang, and while they surrounded Lu Chen and a few people, they pressed step by step, and kept shouting: "Kill them, avenge the people of Longyanggang!" For a while, the sound of killing in the center of the street shook the sky.
Jiang Shaoling and Jiang Yue'er hurriedly approached Murong Ziyun and said, "Senior sister, what should I do?"
"Don't act rashly yet, these people are residents of the town!" Murong Ziyun clenched the Flowing Shadow Sword and looked around with an indifferent expression, ready to kill at any time.
After these people surrounded Murong Ziyun and his party, an old man in Tsing Yi with a thin face came out of the crowd, and he shouted in a low voice: "What are you, who asked you to come to Longyanggang!"
Murong Ziyun took a step forward, hugged her fists and said, "We are disciples of the Liuyun Sword Sect, we are here to deal with trouble, I hope you folks will calm down!"
"You say it's a person from the Liuyun Sword Sect, but there is proof!" The old man in Tsing Yi had a look of surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly asked.
Murong Ziyun hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade-colored Sword Sect token from his arms and threw it to the other party.
The old man in Tsing Yi took a look, his eyes lit up instantly, and his expression suddenly became respectful: "It turned out to be the lords of the Sword Sect, how offended you are, please forgive me!"
Then, the old man in Tsing Yi turned back to the people behind him and said, "Everyone, hurry up and put down the guys in your hands, they are people sent by the Sword Sect, and they are specially here to help us eliminate the drought in Longyanggang!"
"Really? That's great!"
"Is it finally here?"
"Longyanggang is saved!" When the people learned that Lu Chen and his party were gone, they immediately shouted excitedly, and their expressions could not hide their joy.
The old man in Tsing Yi calmed down the excited emotions of the people, and then said to Murong Ziyun: "Old Liu Feng is the mayor of Longyanggang, welcome to Longyanggang!"
Jiang Shaoling on the side said angrily: "You rural villagers, welcome your guests like this!"
Liu Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I really don't know anything! It's just a misunderstanding, if you want to blame, you can only blame the drought for being too fierce, and the people are also forced to do it!"
"Is there really a drought in Longyanggang?" Murong Ziyun said in a solemn tone.
Liu Feng nodded, and said with a sad face: "This is indeed the case, otherwise, the good Longyanggang would not have ended up in such a miserable situation!"
"What the hell is going on, tell me the truth!" Murong Ziyun showed the momentum of a superior person and said solemnly.
Liu Feng hugged his fists and smiled: "It's a long story, everyone, it's inconvenient to talk here, please move and go to the old ancestral hall to tell you in detail!" After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.
