Two days later, the situation in the city improved greatly.
The mud on the main road was cleared, and most of the corpses were moved outside the city and buried one by one.
The victims also began to return to their homes one after another and began to take care of and clean the damaged houses. However, as the pain of the disaster gradually eased, no matter during the day or night in the past two days, there were people crying for their relatives and paying homage to the souls of the dead.
.
All of this is impossible.
The disaster and grief caused by the Dragon King of Wujiang can only be healed by the power of time.
On this day, Li Xiuyuan did not have many things to be busy with, and the remaining matters were left to Wang Ping, Ning Caichen, Zhu Yu and other scholars.
After these few days of busy work, they have gained experience and know how to arrange things, and they have made great progress. Now he can trust them and leave other things to them.
After all, as scholars, no matter what their ability to do things, they are at least smart. If you are not smart, you cannot become an academician.
The ability to work can be practiced.
Now that I have gained experience, I am able to stand alone.
Li Xiuyuan was walking on the street at the moment, inspecting the situation in the city.
Although the situation has stabilized, he still needs to understand the disaster situation in the city. Standing in front of the City God's Temple and taking command, it is impossible to understand clearly.
"Fortunately, the disaster control efforts have achieved initial results in the past two days."
After Li Xiuyuan turned around, he nodded, feeling quite satisfied.
Some victims have returned to their homes to take care of themselves and live there.
On the roofs and beside the roads, people also set up hangers to dry their clothes.
Although many people lost their lives in this flood, fortunately, the city was not seriously damaged. After all, the floods poured into the city, not in, and did not destroy too many houses. This left the people of Guo Beicheng with a lot of trouble.
A good foundation has been laid.
"My boss, something strange happened to a family in the city."
Just when Li Xiuyuan walked around and had nothing else to do, and was about to go to his house to take a look, a steward trotted over and said.
"Oh, what strange thing happened?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The steward looked to the side, and then whispered: "There was a child crying from a house."
"Since there is a crying child, you should save the child. Why do you come looking for me?" Li Xiuyuan said.
The steward said: "Master, this is not the case. The house has clearly been filled with mud and water has flooded in. There can be no living people. Moreover, the child's cry has been heard for three days, and the other people's
People suspected that someone had died there and it was starting to be haunted."
Haunted?
Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed.
After all, about six days have passed since the day of the disaster. In other words, once the first seven days come, the ghosts and ghosts of those who died in the city will be everywhere.
When the time comes, haunting will definitely not be as simple as just talking about it, but it will really happen, and it will happen on a large scale.
"Take me to have a look." Li Xiuyuan immediately paid attention to it.
I have been busy with disaster relief these past few days, and I forgot an important thing for a while.
There is no city god in Guobei City at the moment. If he wants to suppress the evil spirits and evil ghosts, he has to do it himself.
The steward responded and took Li Xiuyuan to the haunted place.
This is a shop near the street. Although it is flooded, you can vaguely see that it is a tea shop.
There were several men resting nearby, and they gathered together to discuss the haunting in this shop.
Not to mention, after Li Xiuyuan walked in, he actually heard the sound of a baby crying from inside the shop. Although it was faintly visible, it was really there.
Is it also haunted during the day?
Li Xiuyuan looked at the sun above his head, but quickly understood.
I'm afraid that because of the darkness in the house and the lingering resentment in the city, the evil soul hiding inside has begun to gather its ghost body. Since a baby has no wisdom after becoming a ghost, only instinct, it is not impossible to cry out in advance.
"My boss is here, hurry up, hurry up."
“Hello, boss.”
When these resting men saw Li Xiuyuan striding towards him, they all stood up to say hello.
It has to be said that the people in ancient times were relatively simple and honest. Although they were hired by Li Xiuyuan and did not receive wages, they all worked hard and respected Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Is this shop haunted?"
"Yes, boss, that's where the crying came from," said a man.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "Have you ever gone in to see it?"
A person next to me said: "I went in and saw that it was dark and damp inside, with a fishy smell. The experienced old man said it was the smell of ghosts. There were ghosts inside. We didn't dare to stay in it, so we sealed the shop with a door panel.
.”
"So what if there is a ghost in broad daylight? Is it possible that I can eat you all? A few brave men took off the door panel and opened the door." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Master, I'll come."
Immediately, two bold men came over, immediately moved the door panel, and opened the shop.
As soon as I opened it, there was indeed a fishy smell coming out.
Li Xiuyuan frowned. The smell was indeed that of ghosts. He had smelled it on the water ghosts in Dahu Village.
I took a look inside and saw that there was still a lot of water and silt inside, but it was dark inside, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
He didn't see any ghosts inside either.
However, it's not certain yet.
"Open the window over there and let me go in and take a look." Li Xiuyuan said.
"How can I let my boss in? Let me go and have a look. I'm brave." A man said immediately.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "No, I'll know if there are any ghosts when I go in. You guys are right outside."
His move was not only to clarify the haunting, but also to stabilize people's hearts.
If he didn't dare to go and investigate, then all kinds of rumors would spread among the people in the city. When the first day of the lunar month comes tomorrow night and the innocent souls who have blinded their minds wake up, the situation will only get worse.
Soon, the window next to it opened, and a little light came in.
Li Xiuyuan was not afraid and immediately stepped into the dark and smelly shop.
Such things as ghosts have always been afraid of him, not him.
Even the ghost king of the underworld has to give him face when he sees him, let alone an innocent soul who didn't even arrive in the first seven days.
When he entered the store, he took a quick look and was stunned.
But I saw a corpse in the shop hugging a wooden pillar with its feet wrapped around it and its head tilted to the side. It had obviously been dead for several days and its body was stiff. However, judging from the appearance and clothing, it should be that of a man.
, his move was obviously because after the flood entered the city, he was afraid of being washed away by the flood, so he hugged the pillar.
However, on top of the male corpse, he was seen holding a female corpse in his hands.
The female corpse was also stiff, white, and swollen. She had been dead for many days.
Because at the peak of the flood, the roof was almost submerged, and the terrain here was low, so everything would definitely be flooded. Even if the male corpse below lifted her up, she still wouldn't be able to escape.
However, when Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved to the beam again, he saw the female corpse wrapping her arms around the beam, and there was a baby's body lying there limply.
He was also hit by a disaster and drowned.
"It's them....."
When Li Xiuyuan saw the baby's body and the female body, he immediately remembered who they were.
The female corpse was named Zhang during her lifetime, and the baby above was her son. She named the baby Zhang Yingjie.
"I originally thought that one hero will come out of ten, one hero will come out of one hundred, one hero will come out of one thousand, and one hero will come out of ten thousand, so I named him Zhang Yingjie. Unexpectedly, although the name is good, it ignores the destiny." Li Xiuyuan was silent.
Reconciliation between Yingjie and Yingjie?
A hero dies young.
Now that the baby has died in infancy, doesn’t it mean that this sentence is fulfilled?
And looking at it this way, he could also get a rough idea of the situation at that time.
The male corpse should be Zhang's husband.
When the flood came, the husband rescued his wife, and the wife rescued the children, hoping to save the children's lives. However, in the end, not even the last offspring were saved.
The fate of the family was not matched by the odds, and in the end the family drowned here.
At this moment, the three people were dead, and he couldn't do anything now. He could only sigh, then walked over, jumped up, and took down the baby's body.
"Huhu~!"
But when he moved the body, two dark winds immediately blew in the dark shop.
