This was destined to be an uneven year. In March, the Tianlong Kingdom launched a conquest war on the grounds that the Jialan Kingdom colluded with King Ning and caused chaos on the border.

Xu Jiao of Yizhou was the commander of the middle route, and all the state governments sent troops to form a 300,000-strong army that went straight to the border of Jialan Kingdom. The Zhennan Palace and the North Palace also sent forward troops to suppress the battle.

And the Lanzhou plague has spread again. Some people say that this is a punishment from heaven for the current emperor's improper throne and perverse actions. In some places in various states and capitals, people are beginning to panic.

The same epidemic happened recently at Lanjia Academy in Lanzhou, so classes had to be suspended. The senior leaders of the academy began to take action, taking measures to check the source and lock down the scope...

On this day, due to the suspension of classes, Lan Xin and her classmates had to stay in the dormitory. They had nothing to do every day, so in the morning they studied their father's music scores carefully and made gestures in the air.

For most of the remaining day, I took a wooden sword and practiced sword dance seriously.

When she accidentally bumped into a classmate, was sued, and punished by kneeling down, Lan Xin had no choice but to go through various moves in her mind, and did not dare to practice any more in the small dormitory.

Just when everyone thought everything would be fine soon, and classes were about to resume, another case was discovered. This time it was directly from the senior officials of the academy, and soon, it spread to ten, and then to hundreds...

The children stayed in the dormitory all the time, and at first someone brought meals to them. Gradually, they seemed to be forgotten. Many people began to feel uneasy, but there was nothing they could do.

These children have been learning music, dance and etiquette since they were young. How do they know what to do? No matter how much they cry or make noise, no one pays attention to them.

After three consecutive days without eating anything, Lan Xin couldn't bear it anymore. He found a wooden stool and started banging on the door.

Although he was small and had little strength, his desire to survive forced him to continue. Wei Ling also came to help smash it, but he soon ran out of strength.

The door was made of solid wood and was very hard. Lan Xin found a thin spot on the door and smashed it. Lan Xin's hands started to hurt, but she didn't give up because her stomach growled with hunger. Gradually, cracks appeared in the wooden door, and Lan Xin

My heart was encouraged and I smashed it even harder.

A small hole was made in the wooden door by Lan Xin. After a long time, the hole became bigger and bigger. Finally, Lan Xin could no longer swing and stopped. Others looked at the hole and began to whisper.

"We can finally go out!" Lan Xin collapsed on the ground and said happily.

"No, we can't go out. The teacher said there is a plague outside and won't let us go out." A good boy disagreed.

"Then we can't wait to die like this anymore." Lan Xin yelled. Looking back, he saw that although the little boys in the same room were all hungry, skinny and weak, they still abided by the rules and regulations of the academy. He felt a desire in his heart.

A feeling of sadness.

When he looked back at Wei Ling, he saw that Brother Wei, who had always supported him, also shook his head: "We wait a little longer. If we go out without permission, we will be punished and may be kicked out of the academy. After all, I don't have a surname."

orchid……"

"Then I'll go out on my own. They're really a bunch of stupid people." Lan Xin had never had enough to eat since she was a child. She was so thin and small that she got out of the hole in no time.

"Feudal etiquette really poisons people's hearts." Lan Xin muttered in a low voice. She walked through the long corridor and saw no one.

Lan Xin saw no one all the way to the kitchen. Everywhere was empty, and a few flower trees had been uprooted.

Lan Xin didn't care about anything else and ran directly to the kitchen. No one had been in the kitchen for a long time, and a lot of the food was rancid, giving off an unpleasant smell.

Lan Xin came to the cellar and saw the stored flower wine and some sweet potatoes. She took the knife on the side, peeled the sweet potatoes, ate them raw, and started drinking. She ate three sweet potatoes before she stopped.

He seemed to have just heard something. Was there something hiding here? Lan Xin suddenly became nervous.

The beautiful scenery of Taohua Xiaowu is still there, but the beauty is nowhere to be seen. The door is closed, and there are rows of unkempt, weak men in a forbidden area, and a little boy is in pain.

Some people have not moved there for a long time, and some are still crying: "Who will save me?" Others open their unwilling eyes and stare at the roof, their hearts are dead.

.

A cold-faced general in armor was riding over with his troops. They were all well-protected and their heads and faces were covered.

When they arrived at the academy, the deputy general whispered to the general: "Sir, there is a new epidemic here, but it has been completely sealed off."

"Burn." A cold voice sounded. The soldiers took out fuel and flammable items from behind and threw them in through the gate. The general gave the order and all the rockets were fired.

The general gave another soft drink, and saw a sudden wind blowing up, which made the fire even more powerful. After a while, a man's panicked voice came from inside: "Hurry, there's a fire, hurry up and put out the fire."

The deputy general said loudly: "It's an infected person, kill him quickly." A sharp archer immediately shot him dead. Soon, there were more figures shaking inside one after another, and they were all killed by the archers.

The fire spread rapidly, and the firelight shone on people's faces, making it particularly dazzling.

When people around here saw the sea of ​​​​fire and wanted to come over, they saw soldiers stepping forward to stop it: "There is an epidemic here. In order to prevent the spread, it must be dealt with."

In the student dormitory, when Wei Ling smelled the smell of smoke, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Fire!" Wei Ling shouted loudly.

All children no longer care about rules and regulations when their lives and safety are truly threatened.

Everyone scrambled to crawl out of the small hole. Due to long-term malnutrition, all the thin and small boys climbed out smoothly one by one.

"Go east, to the river." Wei Ling had an idea. Everyone immediately started running. Some children couldn't run fast, and another older child helped him.

Not far from the river, Wei Ling suddenly smelled an unpleasant smell, which seemed to be the smell of blood.

Wei Ling suddenly thought of the time when his parents died and the fire he saw when he accidentally walked to the edge of the epidemic area.

Sure enough, there was already a general riding a tall horse and a group of soldiers with weapons in hand. With the sound of bows and arrows, the joyful boys fell into a pool of blood one by one.

The moment Wei Ling fell down after being hit by an arrow, he felt so much pain. The only thought he had when he closed his eyes was whether Lan Xin had also been killed by them?

On the other side, Lan Xin heard a sound in the cellar and immediately became alert.

"Who's there?" Lan Xin clenched the knife she had just used to peel the sweet potatoes.

When I got closer, I saw a boy about ten years old, shivering in the corner: "There is a monster."

When Lan Xin saw that it was a person, she immediately relaxed. "How did you..." Before she could finish her question, she saw a strange monster covered in blood and with sharp teeth and claws suddenly emerge from the corner.

A long, powerful tongue swept away the boy. The boy screamed and died.

Lan Xin was stunned with fear, but he didn't react slowly. He did a backflip onto the ladder and climbed out. Lan Xin quickly covered the lid, pushed another cabinet and placed it on the lid.

Lan Xin was so frightened that her legs almost gave out. He saw that the cabinet was shaking and the monster was holding on to it. It was about to come out.
