After parting ways with Templeton and Aimin, Fatty and others rushed to Ximen Mountain as soon as possible.
After many inquiries, Qianqing learned that this place is located in the northeast of Mase. It is an unknown high mountain in Suriel. It can be reached in one day by horseback.
As for the "Kunxu Eye", no one has heard of it.
However, the location of Ximen Mountain is consistent with the master’s previous experience. He guessed that the so-called "Kunxu Eye" was the poisonous eye he encountered before.
In the minds of the master and the fat man, the terrifying and potential threats of the Crimson Poison and the Soul-Suppressing Bell are like a sharp sword hidden in the air that may be cut down at any time. Thinking about it makes people shudder.
Its importance is higher than the reset of Capricorn Pupil.
Therefore, Mr. Mai had already decided to go to Ximen Mountain to find out what was going on. Not only because the master might know the way, he also thought that even if he just tried his luck, it would be much better than being frightened every day.
Fatty is being honest this time. Didn’t he say he could get there in one day? Okay, then let’s do it non-stop.
So, after changing horses three times, the five of them finally saw the shadow of Ximen Mountain.
Looking at the two beauties who were still sleeping soundly like babies on the horse, Mr. Mai rubbed his sore buttocks, feeling angry, hateful and helpless.
The reason why he agreed to the two girls to follow him was because he had no choice.
First, because their identities are relatively special. Although they are not familiar with each other yet, they already know many of Fatty's secrets. If they were ignored and put out of control, Mr. Mai would definitely not be able to rest assured.
In addition, the masters often made "slanders", saying that their understanding of the elements and their spells were different, and they might play a special role in the adventure.
However, Mr. Mai did not expect that after hearing the order that they had to ride their own horses, the two aunts each purchased a set of horses specifically for ladies and ladies at the place where they first changed horses.
That wasn't the end of it, they even ordered Fatty and Nathan to tie the two of them to the soft couch.
Hey! This idea is great.
The two beauties were lying on the soft bed and running around.
"It must be the idea of 'Leg Jing'! Humph!" the fat man thought to himself. He now firmly believes in the words "suffering the consequences to save face".
Wouldn't it be better if I had known that I could just put the entire bed frame on the horse?
"Don't sleep! Don't sleep! Get up on the ground!" The fat man shouted.
Miaochun raised her head with difficulty, looked around sleepily, and then said to the fat man sheepishly: "Are you there? Why don't you put me down quickly?"
By the time we finished packing the two beauties, it was already dark.
Everyone rushed towards a brightly lit farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. Before they even knocked on the door, an old man with a sad face came out.
"Guests, have you lost your way? How did you end up in this wilderness?" the old man asked.
"Isn't that true? We heard that there is a small road in Ximen Mountain, and passing through it is the official road to the Eastern Region. Unexpectedly, it got dark before we found the small road!" The fat man had done some research on this place, so it was natural for him to make up a story. Have it at your fingertips.
"Hey! Then you are going in the wrong direction! I know that path, it's still an hour away from here!" said the old man.
"Ah! That's really bad! It's all my wife's fault and her sister's grinding along the way. How else could it be that it's already dark and they still haven't found the way?!" The fat man pointed at Miao Chun and said angrily.
"You're talking nonsense!" Huahua said angrily.
Following Miao Chun's advice, she bought a soft bed and put it on the horse, and slept happily along the way. When she heard the fat man's nonsense, she immediately wanted to stand up for the "leg sperm".
In terms of scheming, Miao Chun was more than a hundred times stronger than Hua Hua. She hurriedly stopped Hua Hua and said to the old man with a smile: "I'll make you laugh! My husband is tired from walking all the way and hungry, so he is a little angry. I don't know, uncle. Can you let us go inside and rest for a while? It would be better if we could have some tea and food. Of course, we will pay according to the price."
When the old man heard this, he hesitated. After a while, he said with a bitter face: "If you don't mind my home being rough, please come in and sit. My wife just made some food. If you think it can be eaten, eat some." That’s it. It’s not easy to go out, and it’s not easy to have money! It’s just that someone in my family is sick and I can’t take care of you, so I hope you won’t be offended!”
"That's enough trouble!" Hearing this, the fat man was not polite at all, and followed the old man into the courtyard.
Not to mention, although this farmer's family is a bit simple, it has a large yard and many houses.
The old man arranged for the fat man and others to rest in a side room. After a short time, an old woman brought steaming meals.
This old woman is about the same age as the old man, and her eyebrows are full of worry.
She put down her food, forced out a smile, asked everyone to help themselves, then turned and left.
The food is not fancy, but it has a unique farm flavor and is very delicious.
The fat man only ate some dry food on the way, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment. Under the wind and lingering clouds, the whole trench was covered with water.
Nathan had had the experience of eating with Mr. Mai, and he knew that he couldn't be shy, so he devoured the food for a while, and the appearance of the food was quite spectacular.
The master looked at the third young master, eating and drinking calmly, feeling funny at the same time.
Anyone who stays with a fat man for a long time will probably forget to be reserved and elegant when eating!
Miaochun also had a way of eating. She seemed to chew slowly, but not as slowly as a fat man. She would check on the fat man's progress from time to time, smile appreciatively, and eat with increasing relish.
Only Huahua seemed to have an appetite. She picked some green vegetables and stopped eating them.
"Hey! Sir! Why are you just eating? Didn't you hear that old man say that there is a patient at home? Should we go and have a look?" the beautiful girl said with a pout.
"What a brilliant doctor you are, you can't treat a doctor on an empty stomach! Why are you so anxious? Ugh!" The fat man said impatiently and burped.
"Sister, don't worry! He knows it well." Miao Chun comforted with a smile.
"Yeah! That's true." The fat man wiped his mouth and gave the "leg spirit" an approving smile.
"Dear guests, do you need to add anything?" the old man said, having already walked into the room.
"Thank you for your hospitality! We've finished eating! It tastes really good!" the fat man praised with a smile.
"Hey! Simple food! There is nothing that tastes bad!" the old man said casually, and was about to clear the tableware on the table.
"Grandpa, did you just say that someone in your family is sick? I am the doctor, can you let me take a look?" Huahua still couldn't hold her breath and asked proactively.
When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed at first, then shook his head helplessly and said slowly: "My daughter-in-law is a little uncomfortable. But this disease is invisible! If you have eaten well, you can continue on your way! I tell you No matter how we go, even though it’s dark, I’m sure we won’t get lost again.”
Huahua was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that the old man not only didn't appreciate her kindness, but also ordered her to be kicked out.
"Haha! We are also preparing to say goodbye! It's just that it's a little late today, and it will be inconvenient to walk on the mountain road. Do you know where there is an inn nearby?" the fat man asked with a smile, while glancing at Huahua, indicating that she didn't want to Interrupt again.
Huahua couldn't help but feel contempt when she saw that the fat man didn't mention the treatment at all, but was thinking about leaving, and even planned to find an inn to rest.
"Are you blind, sir? Although this village is not small, it is obvious that only one family is inhabited. Where can we find an inn?" she thought to herself.
When the old man heard what the fat man said, he once again showed hesitation on his face. After a long time, he said helplessly: "Our village is not big, and except for my family, everyone else has either moved away or, well, It’s just gone. Where did the inn come from?”
Seeing that the fat man suddenly looked disappointed, the old man continued apologetically: "Originally, it doesn't matter if I keep you all overnight. But, it's just really inconvenient. Hey! You'd better leave as soon as possible!"
"Well! You're right! We were just wondering why your family was the only one with the lights on in the village? It turned out that everyone else had moved away? Then why didn't you move away? Also, you said that some people were gone. What does it mean?" the fat man asked curiously.
The old man became a little impatient when the fat man asked him. He darkened his face and said, "You are a real guest. I see that you are tired and hungry after coming from a long way, so I asked you to come to my house to have a rest and have a meal." Food. Now that you have eaten and drank enough, why are you still asking questions? Just leave as soon as I tell you to leave! I am also doing it for your own good!"
"Hey! Old man! Don't be ungrateful! I ask you because I think highly of you! Why, are you trying to hide something? To tell you the truth, we are government officials, so hurry up and recruit from the real people!" Mr. Mai had eaten and drank enough. You have the confidence to fall out.
The old man didn't expect that the fat man who was always smiling could be of such a good nature. He was angry and frightened, trembling all over, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"Oh! Sir, don't be as knowledgeable as this old man. He really means well!" The old woman suddenly opened the door and walked into the house, supported her husband who was turning pale with anger, and said to the fat man.
Mr. Mai had a serious expression on his face. He took out a waist badge from his arms and showed it. He said in a cold voice: "Foolish man and foolish woman! See clearly! This is the government's waist badge. What happened in this village? Why don't you tell the truth?" !”
The old couple were really frightened now. They looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.
"Old man, tell the truth! Since they are from the government, maybe we can still have a way to survive!" The old woman said, pulling on her husband's sleeves, with tears in her eyes.
Seeing the couple in such a state, the master and others felt that something was unusual.
There was no need for the fat man to give orders, everyone was on guard, and the master even let go of his consciousness far away.
"Just say it! Now that things have happened, there is really nothing to hide anymore!" The old man made up his mind and said to himself.
He suddenly fell to his knees and said in an angry and frightened tone: "My lords, you are late! Only a few people in this village escaped at the beginning. The rest are all dead! Now! Our family of four is the only one left, and we probably won’t survive for a few days!”
"Well! You're not lying! Let's be clear. We are here to find out the situation this time. Tell us everything you know!" The fat man's expression softened slightly, and his tone was no longer so harsh.
In fact, how could a patient in the advanced stage of hypochondria like him not be suspicious of everything he saw?
The only farmer left in the deserted village, with a gloomy face, someone in the family was sick, yet he was able to prepare food for five uninvited guests so quickly.
This is really, really suspicious!
Among the five of them, I am afraid that only the simple Huahua is the one who thinks the simplest.
When the old man heard the fat man's explanation, most of his original doubts disappeared, but his expression didn't change much.
He sighed softly and told what happened here.
It turns out that since a year ago, a strange disease has appeared in the old man's village.
Anyone who is sick will become mentally disturbed. At the beginning, an attack would occur only every three or four days, but gradually, the attacks became more and more frequent.
About a month after contracting the disease, this person was basically completely crazy.
What's even more frightening is that after a person goes completely crazy, he will die soon. The death state is extremely terrifying, as they all die from body explosion.
When the villagers discovered that this strange disease might be contagious and wanted to flee or report it to the government, it was already too late.
At that time, most people had already shown symptoms, and once someone tried to flee, those who had already been infected would attack in groups.
Now it's better, everyone has no choice but to stay and wait to die, so that at least they can die slower.
The old man's family consists of four people, including his son, daughter-in-law, and the old couple.
They are relatively lucky and have no signs of illness. Even their pregnant daughter-in-law can eat and drink and is very healthy.
And those sick people in the village, even if they went crazy, would never disturb the old man's family. They even throw some food in from time to time.
The old man's whole family felt that the unborn baby must have brought good luck to the whole family.
Who knows, the good times don't last long.
Just over two months ago, everyone in the village died, leaving only the old man and his family.
They were discussing taking this opportunity to escape, but suddenly seven or eight people broke in and warned the old man and his family not to act rashly.
Just as the old man's son was about to argue, he was killed on the spot by a young man in a yellow shirt.
Although the old man had limited knowledge, he could still see that the murderer's enemy was an annotator.
In order to preserve the fetus in their daughter-in-law's belly, the whole family had to suppress the pain of losing their loved one.
Those people would come to visit every five or six days, and the old man would prepare food for them.
The arrival time of Fatty and others was unlucky, exactly when those people might appear.
So the old man urged the fat man and others to leave quickly, which was really out of good intentions.
After listening to the old man's story, everyone felt a little heavy.
If they had not come here to find the source of the Fei Huan poison, the tragedy that happened in this small village might never be known to outsiders.
According to calculations, the final outcome of the old man's family may be worse than those of his neighbors who died violently.
"I see, old man, please get up and speak!" The fat man frowned and said in a tone of voice.
The old man stood up tremblingly, looking at the fat man with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
He said in a low voice: "At first, I thought it was those people who came! Fortunately, it's not the case! Sir, what are you going to do?"
"Don't tell me what to do! Tell me first, what disease does your daughter-in-law suffer from? Just now our young lady wanted to check her condition, why did you say that this disease cannot be treated?" the fat man asked in a deep voice.
"Hey! My daughter-in-law has suddenly shown signs of illness in the past few days! She goes crazy from time to time! Although I don't know what to do, I can't bring trouble to you just to treat her!" the old man said, and pressed again. Unable to control his emotions, he hugged his wife and cried.
