Outside Fugu City, there are hundreds of miles to the north deep in the mountains.
There are two villages with the Zhou surname located near here.
Those with high terrain are called "Shangzhou Village".
The low-lying ones are called "Next Week Village".
There were originally more than 130 households in the two villages.
The original site of the village is a hundred feet away.
The path leading to the village has been covered by overgrown weeds. A burly black man dressed in coarse Gebu clothes has a sharp woodcutter stuck in his waist. Under the attack of the hatchet, all the dense weeds half as tall as a man fell down, creating a path.
The black man took the lead, followed by the man in Confucian shirt. .
Not long after, a strange face set foot in this deserted village two or three years after the epidemic.
There is no one inhabiting it, and there is no sound.
The original houses of the common people were not popular for a long time, and were eaten by insects and ants. They collapsed under the erosion of wind and rain, and were finally covered by unbridled bushes and covered with greenery. This situation makes people feel inexplicably chilly.
The dark man casually wiped a handful of sweat.
Put the hatchet back on your waist.
"Sir, this is the former Zhouzhou Village."
An epidemic broke out in two villages and they were sealed off. More than 130 families died, leaving only a dozen families with more than 20 people alive. The previous county guard was worried that the disease was still lurking in the village, so he sent people to forcibly move the surviving common people to other villages.
Zhouzhou Village and Zhouzhou Village were forcibly sealed off.
The young man frowned, looked around, and raised his hand to clear away the stale air on the tip of his nose: "Shou Sheng, you and I look around."
The burly black man who was called "Shou Sheng" nodded in agreement.
These two people were Gu Chi and Li Li who came to investigate the epidemic village. "Shou Sheng" was the name Li Li's wife gave him back then. Li Li's family name was "Lu" and he didn't have a proper name, so the lady gave him the character "Jue", which was also called "Shou Sheng".
From "Finally going over the edge is unexpected."
It also has the meaning of survival from desperate situations.
Lili is actually a nickname.
It was a little love affair between him and his wife.
Now that he has a serious name and nickname, the nickname "Li Li" is not suitable. Gu Chi and others directly call him by his nickname.
Li Li, that is, Lu Jue, did not dare to stay too far away from Gu Chi, and the abandoned village was not big. It only took the two of them a quarter of an hour to walk through it, and they did not find anything strange. Gu Chi's eyes were indifferent and he said, "Go to Zhouzhou Village to have a look."
Lu Jue still took the lead.
After a while, the two figures gradually disappeared.
About half an hour passed, and two figures appeared in the corner of the ruins of the previously empty house. The two men were haggard and haggard, their faces were covered with greasy dirt, and their long hair was stained with yellow and white dander. Although their clothes were old, they could be seen to be of exquisite workmanship.
There was still anger on one person's face.
Seeing Gu Chi and the others leaving, he scolded them angrily in a low voice.
"Why didn't you kill him just now?" He wanted to stab Gu Chi in the back several times with a knife, but the two were only three steps away! As long as he moves quickly, Gu Chi will definitely die! But the person next to him was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he stopped him.
"If I could kill, I would have killed him long ago!"
The problem is that Gu Chijin is very vigilant and always on guard! If they can't kill with one blow, they will be the ones who die.
"Afraid of death!"
"Who do you think is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
However, what the two did not expect was——
"Is this epidemic caused by you?"
An unfamiliar and indifferent male voice quietly reached my ears.
The two of them were so frightened by the voice that they didn't follow the voice to see the identity of the male voice's owner, and ran for their lives in the opposite direction of the person. One person even used word spirit to assist.
"Can you escape?"
Sure enough, before the two of them could escape far, they were thrown away by the entanglement of Wen Qi rising from their feet. Another strong black figure blocked their escape path. It was Gu Chi and Lu Jue who had just left. Before the two of them could despair, Lu Jue picked up one of them by the neck with one hand like a chicken, and threw him to the ground with all his strength. The man rolled several times on the ground and rolled to Gu Chi's feet.
As for the other person?
Lu Jue kicked him directly in the knee.
Remove the opponent's jaw.
He threatened in a cold voice: "If you dare to run away, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Gu Chi walked over with his sword in hand, glanced at this man with disdain, and said, "I thought he was just a half-hearted scribe. But it's rare to be so depressed. Tell me how you spread the epidemic. of?"
"Pooh!"
He spat a mouthful of smelly saliva.
Obviously he refused to cooperate with Gu Chi.
"Hahaha, you want to know? I told King Yama, not you, the thief's lackey!"
When he was about to die, he wanted to disgust Gu Chi, but Lu Jue didn't have a good temper. When he saw him humiliating Gu Chi, he raised his hand and slapped him. Snapped! The slap made the man's head buzz, and his head was almost blown off his neck by the force.
The sky and the earth rotate, and the colors are reversed.
Snaking little red snakes flowed out of the ears, nostrils, and corners of the mouth. He instantly lost his hearing, and it took him a long time to regain his composure.
Gu Chi said: "Keep alive, don't beat him to death."
He is only good at plucking secrets from the mouths of living people.
It becomes difficult to operate when the person is dead.
"Sir, don't worry, you will definitely act in a measured manner."
Death will not die.
At least he won't die for a while.
It took little effort for Gu Chi to use his spirit of speech to pull out the secrets from their mouths - as expected, the two of them were the "fish that slipped through the net" of several local gangsters in Fugu City. They held a grudge and were always thinking about something. Die Shen Tang.
However, Shen Tang managed Fu Gu better and better, and the people came to support her wholeheartedly. They tried several times but failed, unable to instigate the people to live in chaos, and almost exposed themselves. Not willing to go far away, he kept wandering nearby.
Zhoushang Village and Zhouzhou Village have been abandoned for many years.
Normally no common people would come close.
Great for hiding.
After the beginning of summer, there were several heavy rains, one of which was so heavy that it washed away several tombs, revealing the pits of corpses buried under the tombs. The corpses buried in the corpse pit were the common people who died of the last epidemic. The two of them accidentally saw it, and a vicious idea came into their minds to spread the disease from the corpse to Fugu City. Even if they could not kill Shen Tang in one fell swoop, they could still take revenge on the heartless and unjust people of Fugu.
These common people depend on their family for their livelihood, and they deserve to be punished after their family's defeat.
Relying on their ability to protect themselves, they collected carrion maggots from the corpse pits, fed them to the captured rats, and then threw the rats into the well connected to the water treatment center. Then we sat back and waited for the good news.
So, the epidemic in Fugu City was caused by them?
After hearing these words, Lu Jue was so angry that he wanted to punch a window in their heads. Do these bastards know how many people will be killed by the epidemic? How heart-rending! Can do such a thing! His cheeks tightened with anger and his eyes glared.
The anger is so strong that people dare not look directly at it.
Compared with him, Gu Chi was much calmer.
He is not surprised!
These people who once fell from high positions into the quagmire will not put the lives of ordinary people in their eyes at all, and will only vent their inner hatred.
