"Su Su, go to the room and have a rest. You just woke up not long ago and you went down the mountain to do these things. Can your body bear it?" Dong Yiyi stepped forward and held Jiang Su's arm, helping her to move her to the house.
Go inside.
Jiang Su allowed her junior sister to lead her into the inner room. When she sat on the bed, she was still thinking about what to say.
"Sister..." Jiang Su hesitated.
"Huh?" Dong Yiyi helped Jiang Su sit on the bed and closed the door. She took one last look at the man in red who was watching her silently outside the door without saying anything.
He is too dangerous... Susu can no longer have contact with him, otherwise Susu will also be in danger.

Red Maple Town, as its name suggests, spreads from the foot of Shifangmen Mountain to the entire town after autumn, and is covered with red maple leaves. When they fall one after another, it is like autumn fire burning the entire surrounding land.
It's a good harvest.
The people laughed happily and picked up red maple stalks and strung them into ropes and hung them at the door.
Now... the autumn wind is redder than the fire, the sound is lonely and lonely, and no one can be found among the devastation.
It's night, the moon is red, not maple, the blood melts into the ground, and the black soil turns into a red river.
Sixty-seven out of ten townspeople died in this epidemic. In the past, the bodies of the old man selling candied haws, the woman at the noodle stall, and the boy at the preserved fruit stall were all burned a few days ago.
Now, four out of ten people are left, 20% are sick and 20% are not sick. In addition to these, there are also people from surrounding towns who have fled.
Liu Yunqing led Jianfeng's junior brother Yu Jian from the foot of the mountain to Hongfeng Town.
"Mom, are you still awake? Mom, I beat the mouse away... My sister just had her meal. Mom, I also brought you a bowl."
A young man with holes all over his body was carrying a bowl of black and yellow rice porridge, kneeling next to a woman.
Liu Yunqing had a sharp ear and eyesight. When he saw this, he frowned and said hoarsely, "Junior sister Tong, go and persuade this child and take him and his mother and sister to the foot of the mountain. Susu and the others will be able to refine the medicine soon."
The female swordsman in white nodded her head, wielding her sword in a graceful manner, and walked slowly to the young boy's side. Before she could speak, Tong An was stunned for a moment.
The rice porridge in the hands of this young boy was full of black rat fleas, and the rest was rotten yellow rice and an unknown green liquid.
How could he give this to his mother? Where was his sister?
At this time, the little boy noticed the sound of someone approaching, and immediately shouted in a alert voice: "Don't come over! Don't come over! Go away!!"
Tong An advised in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid. I am a monk from Shifang Sect. I will take you to the foot of the mountain. The medicine to treat the disease will be prepared and everything will pass."
After saying something, Tong An was about to step forward and touch the little boy's head. She guessed that this family must have lived a good life before, but now they are suffering from a great epidemic, and the tattered clothes on their bodies can still be seen to be of good quality.
of fabric.
"Monk...immortal? Are you an immortal?"
Huh? Why can't he see what I'm wearing? I came down with a sword?
Only then did the young boy raise his head and look at Tong An.
This little boy’s eyeballs are gone, and now there are just two holes in the eye sockets!
"You...your eyes."
Unexpectedly, the next second, he immediately turned around and took out a smaller child from nowhere. His whole body was tightly wrapped in brocade clothes, like a thick cocoon.
"Immortal... this is my sister. She is not sick. Please take her to the foot of the mountain. My mother and I just arrived here a few days ago. We... can no longer walk." His voice became smaller and smaller.
, he actually wanted to leave.
After saying something, he kicked his leg lying flat on the ground. His calf was ulcerated, half white bone and half rotten flesh.
No wonder……
Tong An took the protected child and used the fire of the Five Elements to burn away the rat fleas crawling on the outside of the brocade cloth. He then pushed aside the brocade cloth, revealing a baby with eyes closed and sleeping peacefully.
"You protect your sister so well."
When the little boy heard Tong An's words, he couldn't help crying. From the light rain to the heavy rain.
"Wow - my mother - my sister - my home - wow"
Tears first filled up his eye sockets, and then like a bowl that couldn't hold it, wetting his entire face.
Tong An didn't say anything, and directly poured the fire he summoned on him.
"Hiss--" The flames burned rat fleas and maggots on the rotten wounds. The boy and his mother were uninjured.
He didn't even know he was on fire.
Tong An held his sister in one hand and summoned her sword with the other. Listening to the boy's cry, she picked up his dying mother's sword and held him on her shoulder.
"Immortal! I won't leave. Wuwuwu. Just take my sister with you. Wuwuwu, my mother is no longer able to survive. I have to take care of my mother. Wuwuwu."
He struggled so hard that even Tong An, who was already in the air, could barely stand.
Tong An didn't respond to him, and sped up to catch up with his senior brother who was looking for Zhang Nong's family not far away.
"Big brother!"
Liu Yunqing turned around when he heard the sound and saw Tong An's "big and small parcels". His heart was full of mixed feelings, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said bluntly: "Send them to the foot of the mountain, we have enough here."
"Yeah." Tong An nodded and turned to leave.
The little boy stopped crying when Tong An spoke. He stiffened his body and did not dare to breathe loudly.

"Junior Brother Zhang, you go down and search again. Bring all the living people to the foot of the mountain. Many new people from surrounding towns have arrived. Now they are all alive."
"Okay, senior brother."
"As you command, senior brother."
"Let's go down."
The sword cultivators in white clothes descended with their swords one after another, like stars falling from the sky at night.
Liu Yunqing knew this Zhang Nong. His family owned a large piece of land. He had no father or mother. He was the only one of his own race. His wife was the only one who kept him company.
Apart from being more tiring, Zhang Nong's life was far better than that of other mortals.
"The land of spiritual plants..."
Liu Yunqing found the land.
"I'll go down first, you three stay outside and wait for my transmission note."
A group of sword cultivators stood in Zhang Nong's courtyard, staring at a cellar entrance sealed by rocks in the west of the courtyard.
Liu Yunqing held the wind in his hand and slashed down with his sword. The gravel turned into powder under the wind, the cellar cracked, and the collapsed ground fell downwards. No sound could be heard.
Liu Yunqing frowned slightly and twitched his ears slightly, "Why is there no sound? Mortal cellars are usually not very deep. The spiritual plants grown by Zhang Nong are sold fresh and will not be kept. What is stored here should be stored food.
"
"Senior brother, isn't there a barrier down here?"
"Boundary? It has a mute effect, so what's the use of putting it here?"
"Then the black rat demon came to the cellar, there is a possibility that it is a rat greedy for food."
Liu Yunqing shook his head, clenched the Wind Sword in his hand and jumped directly from the newly cracked cellar entrance. The moonlight was not bright here. After he got down, the scattered lights interspersed in the gravel disappeared in Liu Yunqing's eyes.
