Waking up in a dark house in the middle of the night, Cheng Yi would have been frightened to death if it weren't for the moonlight shining through the holes in the thatched house and knowing that Wei Zhenzhen was beside him.
Although I don’t know where the culprit behind the drug was, Wei Zhenzhen drank and ate more than Cheng Yi, whether it was tea or food, so she inhaled much more drug than Cheng Yi, so no matter how Cheng Yi yelled or shook Wei Zhenzhen, Wei Zhenzhen didn't even respond.
Seeing that Wei Zhenzhen could not be shaken awake, and no one responded no matter how he shouted, Cheng Yi had no choice but to suppress the fear in his heart and walk out of the house in the dark.
He originally thought that he and Wei Zhenzhen were kidnapped, but the kidnappers did not tie them up. After they woke up, no one was watching them. When they went outside the house, no one was there.
Cheng Yi looked at the surrounding environment. It was a strange village with no light and no people.
"Is anyone here?" Cheng Yi shouted.
The only answer he received was the sound of the cold wind, not even the chirping of a cicada. The whole village seemed as terrifying as death.
Cheng Yi tried to knock on the door, but no one answered him.
Cheng Yi had to knock at one house after another. When he knocked on the fifth house, he found that the door of this house was not closed. He opened it as soon as he touched it.
Cheng Yi swallowed nervously and fearfully. When he saw the door opened, he didn't have the courage to step in and check.
At this moment, Cheng Yi missed Wei Zhenzhen very much and thought about going back first and waiting for Wei Zhenzhen to wake up before moving together. However, he soon gave up this idea, fearing that things would change if he delayed, so he suppressed his fear and uneasiness. , stepped into the room, "Is there anyone there?"
He shouted, but still no one answered him because there was no one in the room.
After that, Cheng Yi knocked on several doors, but still no one responded. The whole village seemed like a ghost village, without the breath of strangers.
Cheng Yi walked for a while and was about to give up and go back to stay by Wei Zhenzhen's side when he suddenly saw a bright spot far ahead. In the dark night, the bright spot was very conspicuous.
Cheng Yi didn't know what the bright spot was at first. He curiously walked in the direction of the bright spot, and gradually realized that it seemed to be a torch.
As he got closer and closer, the fire became more and more obvious. After discovering that it was indeed a torch, Cheng Yi was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Is there anyone there?"
Cheng Yi didn't think that calling someone like this was a bit too reckless. If they were lucky enough to encounter the kidnapper who was out and there was no one around them when they woke up, his reckless shouting might lure the kidnapper away. Come.
But the whole situation was too weird. Cheng Yi would rather attract the kidnapper so that he could know the other party's purpose, which was better than the current state of confusion.
After all, the other party kidnapped them here but did not harm them, so even if the kidnappers were alerted, their lives would not be in danger for the time being.
Cheng Yi finally got a response to his shout this time, but that response was not what Cheng Yi wanted to hear, because——
"Don't come over!"
Cheng Yi heard the other party scolding him.
Then Cheng Yi saw torches lighting up one by one, and behind the torches stood soldiers holding bows and arrows. At this time, all the bows and arrows were pointed at him.
The joy on Cheng Yi's face suddenly turned into fear. Before he could ask any questions, he heard the soldiers on the opposite side continue to yell: "No escape, no mercy!"
Then the bow and arrow shot out, inserting about a foot in front of him, and then he heard the opponent's soldiers scolding: "You are not allowed to step out of the place where the bow and arrow are, go back immediately!"
Cheng Yi immediately took a few steps back to show that he had no intention of fleeing, and then asked: "Excuse me, where is this place? I just want to ask this question."
But no one paid him any attention.
No matter what Cheng Yi asked after that, the soldiers on the opposite side didn't respond. It seemed that as long as Cheng Yi didn't cross the line, they would ignore him.
Cheng Yi persisted with them for a long time, but finally gave up.
Because too much time had passed, he was afraid that Wei Zhenzhen would not be able to see him when she woke up, so Cheng Yi returned to the thatched hut where he woke up from the beginning.
However, Wei Zhenzhen did not wake up until dawn.
After dawn, Cheng Yi finally saw someone walking outside, but before he could be surprised, he found that those people were very similar, not in appearance, but in their demeanor...
Everyone had a numb expression on their face, their eyes showed despair, and their steps were staggering, as if they were just walking corpses.
Cheng Yi plucked up the courage to ask someone and found out that this place was the village where the plague broke out.
After hearing the news, Cheng Yi's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and it was as cold as cold from the tip of his heart to his toes.
I finally understand why this village seems to be dead silent, and I finally understand why I knocked on so many houses last night, but either no one answered or no one was home...
Cheng Yi's first reaction was despair, but then thinking that Wei Zhenzhen was still unconscious, Cheng Yi quickly forced himself to cheer up.
Although there was only one case of a plague outbreak in a village since the founding of the dynasty, some villagers survived, but if there was one case, there would definitely be a second case, and maybe they would be lucky enough to become the second case.
So although Cheng Yi didn't want Wei Zhenzhen to worry, in order to let Wei Zhenzhen understand the seriousness of the situation, he still told Wei Zhenzhen that they were currently in the plague village.
"You mean, we were kidnapped by unknown people and brought to the Plague Village, and then we were guarded by soldiers outside. We were not allowed to go out, otherwise random arrows would pierce our hearts?"
"Yes, so Zhen Zhen, please don't run around and stay in the house obediently. I want to wait until those people..." Cheng Yi said in a difficult and cryptic tone, "If they are all gone, then no one will be infected again, and then we can leave."
During this waiting process, how to find food and water sources is the most critical.
The king of this dynasty is kind and implements benevolent government. To deal with these plagues that make people laugh, the measures and regulations promulgated are not to humanely destroy them as soon as they are discovered, but to isolate them after they are discovered, and then send special doctors to treat them. If the treatment is not good, then let them These villages or towns where the plague broke out slowly survived until no one survived, and then they were set on fire.
During this isolation process, the government will send people to deliver some food to ensure that the people inside will not starve to death, but drinking water...
You can only find it yourself inside.
The government will deliver food to the village every ten days. Wei Zhenzhen and Cheng Yi have missed that time, so they can only find food in the village by themselves.
Because Wei Zhenzhen had taken too much drug, everything she saw when she woke up was chaotic, and she felt nauseated for no reason, so Cheng Yi didn't let her move around and went out to find food by himself.
But they got nothing, so on the first day, both Wei Zhenzhen and Cheng Yi were hungry.
When Wei Zhenzhen recovered and finally no longer felt nauseated, they finally found some food.
It's a sparrow.
Wei Zhenzhen knocked it off with a small stone, then peeled it off and roasted it for her and Cheng Yi to share.
In the past, Wei Zhenzhen had never been polite to Cheng Yi when eating in a restaurant, but this time, she gave most of the sparrow to Cheng Yi, leaving only a small piece for herself.
"Zhen Zhen, what are you doing? You eat this, don't give me so much." Having gone out for so many meals together, Cheng Yi knew very well how big Wei Zhen Zhen's appetite was. Not to mention that small piece, this whole thing There are not even enough sparrows to fit between her teeth.
Wei Zhenzhen refused: "No, you eat."
"Why? Zhenzhen, aren't you hungry?"
"Yeah, but I can hold on, but you can't," Wei Zhenzhen's attitude was very calm and calm, "I won't fall ill, and you can't fall ill either. We will definitely go out."
Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes felt sour and astringent for some reason, his lips moved, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Zhen Zhen, aren't you afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"The crops in this village have been destroyed, so we can't eat anything in the fields. We can't go to the back mountains to pick things, and no villagers are willing to give us food. It's not easy for you to capture a sparrow flying in the sky. ..." Cheng Yi lowered his eyelids and said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you afraid that we will never be able to find food again?"
Aren't you afraid that after giving him most of the sparrow, she would have nothing to eat?
"Not afraid."
"What if? What if you really can't find food later? Will you still give me half of the sparrow?"
Wei Zhenzhen was puzzled, "Why do you think about something that didn't happen? Since I gave it to you, why are you so entangled? Just eat it."
"Because..." Because no one has ever treated him like this...
Growing up, Cheng Yi met many people who were friendly to him, but if his own life was involved, few people would take him into consideration...
so……
Cheng Yi felt a warm current flow through his heart, which made his heart soften. He liked Wei Zhenzhen very much before, but now he felt like him even more.
However, Cheng Yi's emotion only lasted for less than a moment, because——
Wei Zhenzhen muttered: "If you can't find it, you can't find it. How can I make you spit it out to me?"
"……That was not what I meant,"
"Then just eat it. Stop dawdling. I finally know why Shi Kaishan and the others say you look like a woman."
Cheng Yi didn't know why he felt like a knife had been stabbed in his chest. He blushed and argued, "I didn't. I'm just worried about you, Zhen Zhen. I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat. After all..."
Wei Zhenzhen didn't say anything, she just patted the meat on her body, as if to say, the meat on my body is not for free.
Cheng Yi: "..."
It was not as unfortunate as Cheng Yi had guessed. Wei Zhenzhen still found food, whether it was a sparrow flying in the sky or a field mouse and cockroach emerging from the ground.
Cheng Yi couldn't accept the voles and cockroaches at first, but nothing flew in the sky. In order to maintain their strength, they finally had to eat what was on the ground, even the ants.
Cheng Yi was a scholar and had never been to a kitchen house since he was a child, so whether it was getting food or cooking it, it was Wei Zhenzhen who did it.
Cheng Yi wanted to help but could only help look after the fire, because he really didn't know what to do with those "ingredients".
At first he couldn't even eat, but when he saw Wei Zhenzhen swallowing it without blinking, and when eating the food, Wei Zhenzhen kept most of the disgusting parts for herself, and gave the slightly less disgusting parts to herself. he.
When Cheng Jian saw this behavior, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. He felt that if he couldn't eat anymore, he would be arrogant...
Cheng Yi did not say any sentimental words of gratitude, but kept it silently in his heart and vowed secretly that as long as he lives, he will protect Wei Zhenzhen under his wings, no matter whether Wei Zhenzhen needs it or not...
