Lord of Deception
Chapter 20 What happened a few months ago
The black goat was treated very cleanly, leaving nothing behind. This locust forest was like a huge mouth of an abyss, so greedy that even a drop of blood or a hair could be swallowed up very cleanly.
Lao Yang is well-informed, and he is sure that there will be no future troubles in dealing with this, so naturally others can't say anything.
But no one was happy.
The locust tree forest that had remained unchanged had obviously become stronger.
If you want to get in and out of the village, you have to either go to the Xianxian side or the Sophora japonica side.
Yu Ziqing has always wanted to ask. Although the village is surrounded by mountains and is wrapped in it, given the physical fitness of the people in the village, it shouldn't be particularly difficult to climb over.
Why does everyone, including people from outside, have to use this only passage to enter and leave the village?
But after seeing so many weird things and knowing so many magical things, Yu Ziqing didn't want to ask anymore.
There must be a reason not to leave. They say this is the only first entrance, so of course it is.
Everyone stood here and watched for a while. When they saw that the locust tree forest became quiet again and the swirling wind dissipated, they were ready to leave.
Yu Ziqing had turned around, but the leader was still looking at the locust forest and spoke to himself.
"There are some locust trees here, but not so many."
Yu Ziqing stopped and walked to the side of the chief again.
He had never asked about the locust tree, nor about Xianqian. No one in the village would discuss these matters in private. When he was an outsider before, he could not talk too much. Now the village chief regards him as one of his own, and he still If you want him to have the say, then there's no need to ask.
If the chief thinks it's okay to talk, he will definitely tell him.
It's now.
Yu Ziqing didn't say anything, just stood there waiting quietly, with a trace of nostalgia in his long eyes.
“In the past, when the weather was not so bad, there would often be some small beasts outside, and there were also some locust trees growing here. Every year when the weather was not so hot, strings of white locust flowers would grow.
People in the village will even pick locust flowers to celebrate, because it is difficult to grow anything else in the village, and this is a rare edible thing.
But this year, these locust trees have never bloomed white flowers again. Originally there were only a dozen or so. Now, there are no other trees in this forest, all are locust trees.
Everything that went into the woods disappeared, and we could no longer eat the sophora flowers every year.
Even now, we don't know why this change occurred. "
As he said that, Li Chang looked to the right, his expression even more complicated.
"When you came in, you walked this way. You should have seen her too, right?"
"Yes." Yu Ziqing nodded.
"I know that if you can come in, you must not come through the locust forest. If you can come in from her side, I have actually determined that you have no ill intentions and you are not a sheepherder. There is no way that the sheepherder can come in from her side alive. ”
Yu Ziqing glanced at the abyss of despair and suddenly understood why the head of the village dared to let him settle down without asking anything when he came in. He didn't show any doubts later. Quite well-intentioned.
“A few months ago, the outside world didn’t know what was happening, and many people who fled kept pouring into the village.
There are also many animals that are natural enemies of each other, even monsters. They all seem to be crazy. Instead of attacking each other, they are all running away, and some even rushed into the village.
If that's all it is, it actually doesn't matter.
But among those who fled, some were not poor people who had no food to eat. There were people from all walks of life, and the village suddenly became chaotic.
Some people just passed by the village and wanted to continue to escape, but within two days, they all returned to the village, and there were more and more people.
I calmed down the chaos decisively and killed many people, including monks, but I didn't expect that another disaster would occur later.
One night, a earth-shaking earthquake collapsed the mine, killing many people. Many of them were the main force in the village. Erhan's brother also died inside.
It was just that the mine caved in, but the problem was that the cave where Jinlan Mushroom was located also collapsed. "
Li Chang slowly closed his eyes and his breathing became a little rapid.
Yu Ziqing hurriedly walked up to help the chief, who took out his hand and shook his head.
"I'm fine."
“At that time, all our food relied on jinlan mushrooms, and they could only be fresh jinlan mushrooms.
I took people to dig again. After digging, I discovered that the original location of the cave had become an abyss crack, and all the Jinlan mushrooms were gone.
We are out of food.
Some people started to escape, and within a day of their escape, those who escaped later found that they were all dead outside.
Those who froze to death, those who were killed, all died.
They returned to the village again, hoping to find food again and survive the winter until spring.
Unfortunately, there is nothing left.
The underground river changed its course, the river dried up, and the insects that often appeared by the river disappeared. In less than ten days, only one kind of living creature could be found. "
Li Chang opened his eyes, a sharp cold light burst out from his eyes, his tone began to contain murderous intent, and his anger began to burst out, but in this anger, there was a deep helplessness.
“When I discovered the first person eating white meat, it was already too late.
People who are driven crazy by hunger are no longer human beings. They have lost their minds and everything. They just want to eat a bite and survive.
It was like a plague that spread in just one day. A large number of people began to lose their minds and started to fight and devour. Hundreds of people died in just one day.
The air is full of the smell of madness and stench. We want to control it, but we can't, because more than half of us who are still sensible have starved to death, and the remaining people have no strength to speak. Just lying in the ground waiting to die.
Seeing those crazy people pulling people out of the underground cave, we could only watch and didn't even have the strength to shout. "
Yu Ziqing's breathing became slow, and he felt desperate just listening to it. People at that time must have been so desperate.
On one side, there is only half a breath left to hang on for life, and on the other side there is a cannibal, crazy and powerful.
"and after?"
“Later, there were enough people who would rather die than take a bite to starve to death.
For some reason, they have all become starving ghosts and will never starve to death again.
They came to take revenge on those who ate them. "
Li Chang laughed, somewhat sarcastically, but his face was full of sadness.
"More and more starving ghosts appeared. They stayed awake and fought with the cannibals all day long, killing all the cannibals.
We were already waiting to die, and it was the last bit of comfort to see all those cannibals die before we died.
Who would have thought that those starving ghosts did not attack us at all. They dug downward passages with their hands. They found a new underground river and fed us water.
They dug into the ground where new Jinlan mushrooms existed and fed them to us, which kept us alive.
Before they were tortured crazy by hunger, they all left the village and went underground without being traced.
It only took three days from the time they appeared to the time they disappeared. By the time we regained some strength and could stand up, the village became what it is now. "
Speaking of this, the chief suddenly took a step into the abyss of despair.
Yu Ziqing was shocked and wanted to catch Li Chang, but Li Chang had disappeared. He looked at Er Han who was sniffling and holding back his tears. There was no movement. He also took a step forward. Into the abyss of despair.
The chief stood there, looking at the compassion in the abyss of despair, his eyes full of heartache.
"She is a good child, very strong. She escaped to the village with her child. She never lags behind others in anything she does. The most important thing is that she brought a child to the village.
When I discovered that the turmoil was spreading like a plague, I asked her to run away. At least there was a hope of survival. Otherwise, her mother and daughter would definitely be the first to be harmed by those guys.
But I didn't expect that when everything was over in the village, I would know that she couldn't escape either. Instead, she would be trapped here after her death.
She did not stop the people in the village, nor did she harm the people in the village, but those who fled outside later and had bad intentions were blocked by her.
Brother Yu, I want to ask you for something, is it okay? "
As he said this, the chief was about to bend down and salute.
Yu Ziqing was shocked and quickly supported the director.
"Chief, what are you doing? We are all a family. We eat from the same pot, so there is nothing we can ask for. You don't treat me as one of your own."
The chief shook his head and stubbornly insisted on saluting.
"This is different. What I want to ask you for is not for me or the village.
I just want to beg you, if you have the ability in the future, can you see if there is any way to rescue her and free her.
I'm not forcing you to do it, I just need you to remember this one thing. "
After talking about this for a long time, what else can Yu Ziqing say.
"Chief, don't be stubborn. Get up. I will definitely agree to this. I will remember it and find a way in the future."
The director glanced at Xinxin again and threw the baby in his arms off the cliff. He closed his eyes in pain, turned around and stepped out of the abyss of despair without any hindrance.
Yu Ziqing considers himself a not too kind-hearted person, but he has a pretty hard heart, but even if it's not the first time he sees it, he can't bear to see this kind of scene again.
He understands that a child means a lot to the village.
He also understood why he regarded the elixir of Jinlan Mushroom as half the value of disaster and could only use it as food to fill his stomach, but the people in the village, including the head of the village, held him high.
Food that could be produced and stored by itself meant far more to the village than he thought. It was something he might never be able to empathize with.
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." Yu Ziqing looked at the compassion on the hillside from a distance, murmured to himself, turned around and left the abyss of despair. This time, he also did not feel any hindrance.
