Early that morning, the enemy general organized a death squad.
Hundreds of soldiers in the enemy camp drank the concoction brought by the loving mother, but these soldiers simply thought that what they drank was practice wine.
As for these soldiers, without exception, they all died tragically on the battlefield. The battlefield was quiet that day, which made the other side begin to relax their vigilance.
The general who sent the death squad deliberately pretended to be defeated and retreated directly with his troops, which made the other party think that he had won a complete victory.
The place where the other party camped was not far from their main city. That night, the city gates were wide open and they had begun to celebrate their victory.
But when the soldiers were sleeping after drinking, the hundreds of death squads who died during the day suddenly came back to life.
For a time, not only the camp where the soldiers were stationed, but also the main city behind them was not spared.
That night, the entire city turned into a hell of an Asura, and that scene was more chilling than any war.
As the sun slowly rose, in just one night, although the streets in the city were still noisy, there was no living thing walking in the city.
Fortunately, one soldier managed to escape and reported everything that happened in the city back to the capital.
The enemy's spies reported back, and no one was spared.
The loving mother was instantly treated as a guest by the enemy generals, and even became the first female national preceptor.
"The story is a bit confusing. Let me figure it out. Did this loving mother surrender to the enemy? Was the person who died a native of her own country?" Heizi looked at Mudan with a confused look.
"Well, yes, then I will replace it with my hometown." Mudan continued.
The monarch in his hometown learned that all the soldiers and civilians in the entire city had turned into the living dead, and concluded that the enemy must have some evil ways and sorcery.
They sent fast horses overnight to summon the country's capable people, Taoists and Taoists, and even sent soldiers to capture a living dead.
One of the Taoist masters could tell at a glance that this was a walking corpse, but this walking corpse was different from ordinary zombies. The reason for this was even more puzzling to all the masters.
Finally, the ministers suggested that the people should search for any information about the living dead, and anyone who provided clues would be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
Three days later, a sheepherder boy arrived in the hall.
According to the story of the shepherd boy, one of his sheep fell off a cliff and was impaled by a dead tree.
At that time, he was sure that the sheep would definitely die, but when he went back the next day, the sheep kept struggling on the dead wood.
The sheepherder found a rope and wanted to go down to have a look. Unexpectedly, the sheep almost bit him and almost broke his rope.
The shepherd boy quickly took out the hatchet from his waist and chopped off the dead wood, and then the crazy sheep fell from the cliff to the bottom of the valley.
He didn't dare tell anyone about this until he saw the notice offering a reward.
That day, a group of experts followed the shepherd boy to the scene of the incident. When they went down, they found the dead wood that had been chopped off and the remaining blood stains on the dead wood.
The monarch even ordered people to search for the body of the sheep at the bottom of the valley. Fortunately, the valley was very high, and the sheep fell and was shattered to pieces.
Moreover, the place where it fell was full of sharp stones, and there were no traces of other animal activity around it.
But this is not the point. The point is that the two experts who went down to the dead tree discovered that there were many plants that looked like dead grass growing on the cliff, and the fragrance of the plants was particularly strong.
So the plant was brought back and the remains of the sheep were burned in the fire.
The crowd found dead animals and fed the plant, and finally got the same walking corpse as before.
At this time, the front line has been defeated repeatedly, just because the other party's soldiers will turn into zombies after death.
Later, a kind of capable stranger came out personally and led his hometown soldiers to burn the corpses of enemy soldiers.
Since then, it has become a tradition to burn corpses after the war. It is said to prevent the plague, but in fact it is just to worry about corpse transformation.
Without the transformation of corpses, the enemy's combat power would be no match for his hometown. The monarch of his hometown ordered that this kind of withered grass-like plant be completely extinct.
Pictures of the plant were posted on notices all over the city. The reason given was that the plant was highly poisonous and would kill livestock if eaten.
Even in order to block the news, except for those strangers and palace ministers, everyone who had seen the walking corpse and knew the use of this plant was executed.
Among them were the cowherd boy and the first soldier who brought back the news.
Later, the enemy camp was defeated and this plant became completely extinct.
As for the loving mother, she also died in the war.
"Do people believe announcements so easily?" Heizi seemed to be a little unfinished by this story.
"In ancient times, there were no mobile phones or the Internet. Once the news was blocked, no one dared to risk beheading for talking nonsense. Moreover, livestock was the life of farmers. Whoever saw this kind of dead wood-like grass would not quickly set it on fire. ." Mudan explained.
"Besides, this thing grows on cliffs. I think the original monarch also sent people to search for and eliminate this kind of plant, right?" Zhou Jiaonan looked thoughtful.
"We don't know the specific details. These stories are only handed down from the notes of some strange people." Mudan nodded.
"But in ancient times, no one seemed to dare to disobey an emperor's order..." Heizi also nodded thoughtfully.
"Does this thing have a name?" I frowned at Peony.
"Motherwort." Peony said the name with relief.
"I didn't expect such a heartwarming name to be such a vicious thing..." The expression on Haitang's face was also very complicated at this moment.
"But what does it have to do with the problem we are facing now?" Heizi suddenly asked, startling us who were still thinking.
"Are you stupid? Then if the cows in this farm eat motherwort and suddenly die suddenly, do you think it will matter?" Zhou Jiaonan angrily gave Heizi a few big looks.
"Then what do you mean, we still have to go to the breeding farm to see if there is any motherwort?" Heizi's voice was trembling when he said this.
"Even if we can't find this motherwort, we still have to go in, because Dahei followed the smell all the way here, so they must have been here." I said helplessly.
"Dahei, why don't we walk around here, what if they have gone elsewhere?" Heizi looked at Dahei with a bitter look on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense, what if they drive away? How do you ask Dahei to find them?" Zhou Jiaonan frowned and cursed.
"Yes, if they have already driven away, what are we going to look for?" Heizi quickly found an escape route.
"Looking for the motherwort. Okay, stop talking nonsense. Instead of wasting time here, it's better to find a way in." I said and climbed up the wall again.
After looking around, there was a four-story building in the distance, right inside the farm. It should be where the employees work and stay.
Looking at the cowshed in front of us, the current cowshed is not built with vegetation in the early years. The cowshed in front of us has a metal roof.
"Maybe we can go over the bullpen." I jumped off the wall and looked at everyone.
Because if everyone is still hiding here, the place with the greatest hope of survival is the small building in the distance.
