Everyone was attracted by the sound, and then noticed that the young man just now, at some point, had carried his sister to the grass on the side.
Now that all the other evil spirits have been eliminated, there is still that inconspicuous little girl left, who is firmly pressed aside by the young man.
While she was struggling, she scratched and bit the young man with many wounds.
The wounds were turned out and turned black, which was obviously a symptom of poisoning.
The boy's face turned pale in pain, but he still didn't let go of his sister.
When he saw a few people coming over, his face turned pale with fear, and he shook his hands to cover his sister's mouth to prevent her from making any noise and attracting their attention.
"Your sister is dead." Yun Jiutang sighed, "You are also poisoned and need to be treated quickly."
"I don't want it! I don't want it!" The young man said hoarsely, "My sister can still move, so she must be saved. Please, save her!"
"Your sister died a long time ago. Now she is able to move, but someone used resentment to drive her." Zhang Moyan said, "If you keep her by force, it will only make her soul uneasy."
While speaking, Zhang Moyan turned around and looked around, and said solemnly: "A sinister formation has been set up here, which can lock in the Yin and gather evil!
When ordinary people come in, even if they exhaust all their strength, they may not be able to kill them. Thanks to this bag of glutinous rice. This must be the blessing of the ancestor! "
Yun Jiutang, "...well, you are right."
"Let me see, stop nagging him, this is just a bait." Bai Liran said, "Maybe the enemy is on him and has some back-up plan. Just kill him!"
Hearing this, the young man shivered with fright, but he still hugged his sister tightly and refused to let go, allowing her to leave scars on him.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Anyway, he won't live long in this condition! Just leave him here to fend for himself!" Zhang Moyan said coldly,
"However, as the only survivor here, if you die, the truth here will probably be buried! What a pity!"
"Yes! All these people died in vain! Let's go! He doesn't want to live anyway, so let him fend for himself here!" Yun Jiutang also said.
Several people immediately turned around and left without any nostalgia. When they were about to leave, the young man behind them finally spoke.
"Wait..." The young man cheered up instantly and struggled to stand up, but eventually fell down again.
When his sister saw this, she opened her mouth and bit him again.
Fortunately, the child is in the teething stage and has a mouth full of chipped teeth, so he can't bite very hard.
The young man endured the pain and said anxiously: "I...I want to live! I want to redress my grievance!"
"Okay!" Zhang Moyan said, suddenly popping out a grain of rice.
The rice grain hit the little girl's forehead. Soon, she struggled, and her body was gradually swallowed up by green flames, and then completely turned into a pile of ashes.
"Ah——" The young man fell to the ground in pain, roaring heart-breakingly.
They didn't bother him until he had cried enough and tremblingly packed up his sister's ashes before taking him away with him.
On the way, Zhang Moyan took out some glutinous rice and asked the boy to drink it to remove the corpse poison from his body.
The young man also told his experience. His name was Wang Erlang, and he was a villager who was affected by the disaster in a nearby village.
The floods in Longzhou were serious and everyone in the family had drowned.
He was lucky enough to survive and brought his sister to Longzhou.
I heard that Princess Huaiyu, the emperor's favorite, came to provide relief in person, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to them!
They all thought that there was a way to survive this time.
But don't want to...
The young man choked up and said, "At first, there was enough relief food, and everyone thought they were saved. But the good days lasted for less than three days, and the government said that the food distribution had run out!"
We couldn't even drink some thin rice soup every day. Later, we couldn't even eat a meal for three days! "
"Where's the princess? What did she say?" Yun Jiutang said solemnly.
"That princess appeared several times, and she came with steamed buns. She liked to watch us fight for the steamed buns like dogs, beating our heads until our heads were bloody.
But we are still very grateful to her, because every time she comes, we might get something to eat! But then, she had enough fun! We have nothing to eat!
Many people starved to death, and their bodies rotted and stinked, leaving them there without anyone taking care of them. Later, someone will secretly eat people who starve to death! There are also people who eat children..."
Speaking of this, the young man seemed to have remembered an extremely terrifying scene, and he was shaking uncontrollably.
After a long pause, he revealed what happened next.
Later, the government occasionally gave them some charity, but they barely managed to hang on to their lives.
But people still die every day, some starve to death, and some die of illness.
It seems that everyone has no other way out but to wait for death.
Later, the government came forward. They disposed of the corpses and took away the sick people.
Everyone thought that those people received good treatment.
In fact, the people who were carried away never came back.
It wasn't until it was their turn that he realized that even if the patients were still alive, the government would not treat them at all, but would just throw them into the mass grave and bury them hastily.
"Since life in the city is so difficult, why don't you go out of the city? It's midsummer now, and even the wild fruits in the fields can barely satisfy your hunger." Zhang Moyan said.
She was very familiar with this matter. When she and her junior brother went out for training, they ran out of food, so they went to find some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
Since he comes from the village, there is no reason why he doesn't know this skill.
When the young man heard this, he looked at her miserably and said, "You must have never gone outside Longzhou City! The water there has not receded at all!"
"How could it be possible!" Yun Jiutang said in surprise, "It has been at least a month and a half since the flood in Longzhou, how come it hasn't stopped yet!"
How big of a flood must this be for it to last for so long without receding!
"If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself. It may have receded a little now, but after being soaked for so long, how could there be any wild fruits in the ground?" The young man's expression was extremely sad, and his voice was hoarse.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
The Longzhou flood was obviously seriously underestimated!
By the time the group of people walked out of the area, the young man had already fainted from exhaustion.
He was really weak. He had said so many words before and was at the end of his strength.
It was already getting dark, and the setting sun cast a layer of red-gold light over the entire land.
It was in this bloody setting sun that a group of people stood there silently.
Seeing them coming out, the leader of the Longzhou magistrate immediately nodded and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Princess, thank you for your hard work."
The sudden appearance of these people made several people tense up.
"Why are Master Zheng here?" Luo Yu was already calm at this time and clenched the weapon in his hand.
"The official is here to take the prince back to the palace." Zheng Zhifu said with a smile, "It's not early, the prince, let the official take you on your way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense rain of cold arrows was seen shooting towards them.
