Xiaohua sat on the horse and started to cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves. After a while, she finally arrived at the place where the so-called corpse was.
As far as the eye can see, corpses are everywhere, and the roadside is almost full of human corpses. Every once in a while, the corpses of three or five people will be piled up together.
While several people were riding horses and galloping, they heard the bearded man say: "Why do these people look so strange?"
"What's weird?" Wu Zheng's head was full of questions. At this time, he was not only scared but also scared.
"When a general epidemic occurs, these people should not all die in the village or at home, but why are these people's bodies exposed in the wilderness?"
Xiaohua also frowned when he heard this, but he did not join the discussion. Instead, he carefully observed the appearance of these dead people. He saw that the skin of these people was green, but it was not the green that Wu Zheng said, but rather a little green.
The color of corruption.
At first glance, Xiaohua saw that these people were all dressed in commoners, and almost all of them were farmers. Occasionally, there were a few dead practitioners, which were more eye-catching among this group of people, so Xiaohua could easily spot them.
In fact, if conditions allowed, Xiaohua should really burn this group of people. But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they finally chose to run fast.
Soon, the four of them got away from the road where the dead were piled. At this moment, a village suddenly appeared in front of them. The only difference from other villages was that this village was located between two mountains, forming a valley. In
The entrance to the village is actually a fence made of shrubs dozens of feet long.
Xiaohua and others got off their horses, looked at the fence in front of them, and couldn't help laughing. This level of obstruction had no effect at all. If someone wanted to climb over, it would be a piece of cake.
So Xiaohua took the lead and wanted to climb over. But at this moment, an rude voice sounded: "Stay back, you are not allowed to come in."
As soon as the sound rang out, Xiaohua immediately stood up. As a result, he saw dozens of villagers, who looked fierce behind the fence. And the things they held in their hands were even more bizarre. Some of them had strange things in their hands.
Some were holding hoes, some were carrying shovels, and some were even holding a piece of bluestone in their hands, as if they were going to do it if they disagreed.
"Don't do anything, we are our own, our own." Wu Zheng backed away. He had never doubted the toughness of the villagers. He had experienced the power of these farmers when he was a child when he stole melons. It can be summed up in one word.
,pain.
Xiaohua frowned, then she took two steps back and said calmly: "A few of us are passing by here. I hope you can make it easy for us to pass."
"No." The middle-aged man who spoke just now replied very cheerfully, as if there was no room for him at all.
This time, it was difficult to handle. Wu Zheng knew that Xiaohua had a bad temper. Once this guy was humiliated, he would definitely repay him twice as much. It could be said that he was extremely petty. But this time, Xiaohua didn't get angry. Instead, he shook his head helplessly.
He shook his head, turned around and left.
Wu Zheng was stunned when he saw this situation, so he asked, "Just leave like this?"
"Otherwise?" Xiaohua asked angrily.
This stopped Wu Zheng from asking. After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded. In fact, he didn't think of anything. But Wu Zheng knew one thing.
, that means following Xiaohua and having meat to eat.
But at this moment, there was a commotion in the village. Only intermittent cries could be heard from inside. It was so sad and tragic that Xiaohua and the others couldn't help but slow down their steps.
"What's going on?" Wu Zheng looked curiously.
Xiaohua made a silent gesture, put her index finger to her lips, and then began to listen. However, a palm patted Xiaohua on the shoulder. Xiaohua looked over angrily and found that it was Wu
Zheng. Suddenly, Xiaohua was so angry that she went up and grabbed Wu Zheng's ears.
But Wu Zheng was heard crying: "I just want to tell you, they came out." As he said that, he pointed hard at the source of the sound. Sure enough, several people were driven out.
Seeing this scene, Xiaohua couldn't help but loosen her hand. What was going on? His face was full of doubts and he couldn't understand.
But I heard Mo Qing sighing from the side: "Let's stay away from each other, they have an epidemic."
When everyone retreated, Xiaohua stood alone. In his eyes, it was all the villagers' rejection and dislike of these sick people. Xiaohua could not understand that a disease could actually allow them to drive away the villagers.
When he left the village, he couldn't accept it. Maybe it was because he had read too many sages' books, or because he was looking forward to a better world. When all this really happened in front of his eyes, he was stunned.
At this moment, Xiaohua was like an old monk in trance, his eyes full of disdain for human kindness. At this moment, he also understood why there were so many corpses piled up on the road instead of at home. They were all killed.
Abandoned person.
He saw the despair in the eyes of the sick villagers, and he also knew their pity and innocence. But Xiaohua, he didn't want to be like this, there was still kindness in his heart. Although he was a prodigal, so what?
, even if no one in the world knows that he will do a good thing, so what.
Wu Zheng, the eldest of the three, stared at Xiao Hua as if he was possessed by a demon, walking towards the sick people with stiff steps.
At that moment, Wu Zheng even began to wonder that Xiaohua's head was rusty. In his impression, Xiaohua had always been an extremely shrewd guy. Wu Zheng sometimes even thought that if there was only the last person left in the world,
That would definitely be Xiaohua.
But so what, Xiaohua still took determined steps. What Xiaohua saw was different from the world that everyone saw. In his eyes, they were helpless villagers, their faces were pale and skinny. They had no choice but to be abandoned by the villagers.
The people were driven out and became homeless. In the end, they had no choice but to live in the wilderness and be tortured to death by the disease.
Xiaohua couldn't bear it, he really couldn't stand it anymore. So, the next moment, he rushed over like crazy. Then, he stood in front of these people and asked loudly: "Can you just bear to kill them?"
Abandon them? Leaving the village is tantamount to a dead end for them."
Xiaohua said with a blushing face and clenched her fists. This scene made Mo Qing shake his head. In fact, after all, this is Nan Yao's own business and has nothing to do with them and a bunch of outsiders. But...
Xiaohua chose to take action, so they had no choice but to bravely move forward.
When the villagers heard Xiaohua's words, they all chose silence. They were speechless, but they knew that if
If we don't do this, more people may die in the village. So the middle-aged man retorted: "Do you think we are willing? Do you think we want them to die? What can we do? There is nothing we can do."
, the man's tears began to flow down uncontrollably.
At this moment, Xiaohua was shocked. He suddenly felt that something was stuck in his throat, and he was speechless for a moment. He wanted to argue, but the suffocating thing was that Xiaohua couldn't blame or even accuse anyone. Because there was no one.
People make mistakes, including those sharp-edged villagers.
The so-called abandoning some people for the safety of more people is actually very reasonable. But human life is not a simple number and cannot be calculated like this.
Wu Zheng and the others had actually expected this outcome. As a playboy, how could Xiaohua know the sufferings of a common people? Wu Zheng went up and patted Xiaohua's shoulders comfortingly, but this time, he would
She deliberately kept her head farther away, fearing that Xiaohua would suddenly grab her ears. In response, Xiaohua lowered her head silently.
At night, it's a little cold. It's not as biting as in Beiliang, but it still feels chilly.
Wu Zheng ran not far away! He had already collected many branches, but they still didn't leave. They lit a fire not far from the entrance of the village.
As for those patients, they were also greeted by Xiaohua. They originally refused, which shows that they are still kind-hearted and do not want to infect others.
But Xiaohua seemed determined, and he was working hard to treat these people. Naturally, he had never learned any medical skills, but because he was a practitioner, he still had a thorough understanding of the structure of the human body. In addition, he
He has also read several ancient books on medical treatment, which benefited from his previous experience of searching for ice souls.
Naturally, Xiaohua's medical skills are not good, but he doesn't want to give up. Even if there is any chance, he will not give up easily.
The sick villagers were almost in a semi-comatose state, with no symptoms of coughing, but only some difficulty in breathing. As time went by, their bodies continued to become weaker. So that later, Wu Zheng's bearded man was still
His Royal Highness the Second Prince also participated in the battle to take care of these patients.
Xiaohua didn't dare to sleep. He sat by the fire and looked after the patients. He was afraid that as soon as he fell asleep, these people would die when he woke up again.
The next day, when it was dark and dark, Xiaohua accidentally fell asleep. When he woke up, there was bad news. It was not that the person he took care of died, Mo Qing and Big Beard both got infected.
sick.
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Xiaohua suddenly regretted everything he had done. A deep self-blame appeared in his heart. When he saw the pale faces of Mo Qing and Big Beard, he wanted to beat himself up.
On the chest, the bearded man pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's okay, Sajia has a strong body."
No one blamed Xiaohua, but he was blaming himself all the time in his heart. He began to panic, and even had the urge to cry.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and he saw Wu Zheng squatting next to him and sarcastically said: "You are such a big man, and you still sleep in."
For some reason, Xiaohua felt extremely at ease when he heard this sentence, because he just had a dream.
