The Ancient World Chapter 156: Distorted Human Nature
Yan Luoluo asked the brain ax to speed up and hurried on. She was anxious in her heart. If she was delayed for one more day, she didn't know how many people would starve to death.
Ji Wuxuan was still deep in thought, and was left behind by Yan Luoluo, who was speeding up. When he reacted and was about to catch up, he was stopped by a refugee on the side.
"Master, please do me a favor and give me some food. My child is going to starve to death."
As the man spoke, he revealed the head of the baby in his arms.
Before Ji Wuxuan had time to take a closer look, a woman tugged on his clothes and cried out: "Master, please have mercy on our family!"
After being stopped and delayed for a while, all the refugees around him rushed up, shouting "Master" in tears.
Ji Wuxuan had never seen such a battle before, and he was a little at a loss while riding his horse.
He really didn't have anything on him. He followed Yan Luoluo and didn't even need to pay for transportation. He could eat whenever and wherever he wanted, and he had a comfortable and warm tent to sleep in. There was no need for him to carry all those burdens.
He tried to explain to the refugees that he had no food with him, but the hungry refugees would not listen to his explanation.
"Master, are you just going to watch us starve to death?"
"Master, there is nothing to eat. You have a horse. With this horse, we will not starve to death."
As soon as these words were spoken, the horses, which had been quiet and docile just now, began to neigh and become violent and hurtful.
Ji Wuxuan quickly used his inner strength to dismount from his horse, and the refugee behind him blocked the fatal kick.
Not to mention ordinary refugees, even Ji Wuxuan, a highly skilled martial artist, felt uncomfortable being kicked like this.
Even though there were refugees surrounding him, Ji Wuxuan took several steps back under the kick.
When the rider dismounted, the horse became the target of the refugees, who all stretched out their paws to catch the horse.
Ji Wuxuan was squeezed out by the refugees. Seeing their actions, Ji Wuxuan secretly thought something bad and quickly asked the refugees to stay away from the horses.
How could the refugees listen to him? All they could see was the madness of being starved.
The horse was about to hurt someone, so Qin Yuhan finally stopped watching the show and floated over the horse's back, using his Yin energy to scare the refugees away, while also calming the irritable horse.
"Xu~"
The horse complained to Qin Yuhan aggrievedly that those unscrupulous people actually wanted to eat it! Its owner could not protect it, and it was in vain that it carried the owner all the way, and even the stuttering was given by Miss Yan.
It was originally the horse that Ji Wuxuan rode from the capital. When he set out, Yan Luoluo gave it some potion because he was afraid of the brain axe.
After communicating with Yan Luoluo, the smart horse knew that the Brain Ax was Yan Luoluo's mount and would not hurt it, so it plucked up the courage to follow him.
Along the way, it also became familiar with everyone, and knew that its owner Ji Wuxuan was the weakest one in the group.
It's okay if it doesn't encounter any trouble at ordinary times, but this time when someone tried to eat it, its owner couldn't protect it. After thinking about it, I knew how aggrieved it was at that moment.
Qin Yuhan observed these refugees while comforting the horse.
Qin Yuhan's identity as a ghost was very obvious. When the refugees saw the ghost, they immediately scattered and stared at her in fear. Many of them wet their pants in fear.
Chun'er took the opportunity to disappear and wander among the refugees, and suddenly found that these refugees' reaction to the ghost was a little too intense.
In the village she was in before, although the villagers were afraid of ghosts, they were not afraid to this extent. Some villagers even wanted to resist, but they were not as powerful as her.
The fear of these refugees seems a bit abnormal, and there seems to be a story behind it.
Chun'er floated to Qin Yuhan and told her this discovery.
Qin Yuhan also found something strange. These refugees were more ferocious than the robbers they had encountered before, and the robbers were not so afraid of them.
She just moved a little, and the refugees immediately fled in all directions, running faster than rabbits, as if a ghost was seeking their lives.
Ji Wuxuan finally returned to the horse, mounted it and went after Yan Luoluo. Refugees were too scary, but he still felt safe around Yan Luoluo and Brain Ax.
Qin Yuhan and Chun'er disappeared and continued their mission to find out the news.
When the ghosts were no longer visible, the refugees gathered together and started talking.
"Why are there ghosts here? And it's broad daylight. The sun is so bright, but I'm not afraid of it."
"Who knows? It looks like they were just passing by."
"I hope they can go to Fengcheng. It's best if we both defeat those evil spirits and we can go home."
"These damn monsters have made us homeless!"
From the scattered conversations among the refugees, Qin Yuhan and Chun'er learned that these refugees came from Fengcheng.
Moreover, there are evil spirits in Fengcheng, which leads the refugees to abandon their homes and become refugees in other places.
After receiving the news, Qin Yuhan was about to go back, but found that Chun'er had not followed.
The invisible ghosts cannot be seen by ordinary people, but ghosts can see each other.
Qin Yuhan saw Chun'er hovering in front of a baby, the same baby that the refugees had used as an excuse before.
At this moment, the baby was casually left aside without any movement, and the baby's parents had no intention of taking care of her.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yuhan came to Chun'er.
Chun'er pointed at the baby, her voice trembling: "This child has died long ago."
Qin Yuhan frowned. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she opened the baby's swaddling clothes.
Qin Yuhan and Chun'er took a breath of cold air at the same time!
This, this, this!!!
terrible!
Except for the head, the baby was still intact. The rest of the baby's body was completely devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only white bones, which appeared in front of the two ghosts in horror.
How is this going!!!
The refugees on the side noticed that the swaddling clothes were spread out, but no one thought this scene was abnormal. They just frowned and said: "What a big loss. My daughter is already over one year old, and she is fatter than this child who is only a few months old."
A lot. How long have you been eating, and only one head is left?"
Qin Yuhan and Chun'er were so shocked by these words that they froze in place.
Eat by exchanging children!
When these four words appeared in Ergui's mind, they were unable to think for a moment.
Even though they are fierce ghosts, they cannot be ruthless when facing such a young child.
When Qin Yuhan took revenge in the bandit's house, she did not kill any of the old, young, women and children.
After Chun'er avenged herself, she did not attack other innocent villagers.
But these people...
Even as a ghost, Ergui felt a chill.
Are you really so desperate that you have to change your life to survive?
no!
There are actually a lot of things to eat in the mountains, forests and wilderness.
There are many wild vegetables, fruits, and various small animals. Which one cannot be used to fill the stomach?
You can even start your life again by finding a new vacant land to build a house and farm!
Why!
Why be so cruel?
The two ghosts could no longer think. They looked at each other, left their Yin energy as a mark on the refugees around them, and then quickly headed in the direction of Yan Luoluo. They needed Yan Luoluo to make up his mind.
