Five miles outside the city, Xunfang Village.
The sky was bright, but the village was silent, there was no sound of roosters and dogs, and the doors of every house were closed. In the fields, there are several corpses with twisted limbs, surrounded by firewood, which seems to be ready to be burned.
"Ah—" A scream came from a certain household, and then the courtyard door woven with thorns was suddenly opened, and a woman covered in blood rushed out of the house, screaming and stumbled out. Behind her, a man with red eyes followed, chasing after her and biting.
"Help me, ah!" The woman saw the jade pot standing on the ridge at the head of the village and ran over immediately.
Yuhu reached out to pull it, but Chen Ziqi grabbed it and let the woman fall to the ground. Then, according to the man who was chasing after him, he kicked the man out from a distance and fell into the field, unable to move.
The woman stood up and turned to look for the man just now. Seeing that the man was lying on the ground, she immediately rushed over, "Dad left!"
Chen Ziqi's internal strength is now so strong, even if he only used 10% of his strength, he still kicked the ordinary peasant and vomited blood. The woman immediately complained and glared at Chen Ziqi, "Why do you have such a heavy hand?" Then she remembered that these two were from Jianghu, and didn't dare to say more, she just hugged the man and cried, "I am What kind of evil did you do, how can you go crazy after going back to your mother's house for a few days?"
"Ow!" The man regained his strength, suddenly pounced on the woman, and bit her neck.
"Ah, help!" The woman began to yell frantically again, and someone in the village stuck their head out to look at it, and when they saw this scene, they quickly retracted and did not dare to come out.
It was as if he had started among a group of mad dogs, and screams were heard one after another in the village, and after a while, many people ran out of the house.
"Jiu?" Dan Yi stretched out a hairy head and looked out, squinting slightly, then quickly pecked Chen Ziqi's chest, shouting anxiously, "Jiu Jiu, Jiu Jiu Ji!"
Chen Zi seemed to feel something, the tips of his ears moved slightly, he took a step back while holding his breath, turned around, and ran away with the jade pot.
"Roar—" Those lunatics ran out, biting people when they saw them, and roaring like wild beasts in their throats, and then, as if they had agreed, they rushed to the ridge in groups.
These are ordinary peasants, and they don't have the slightest threat on weekdays. Chen Ziqi can defeat a hundred with one. However, these people are crazy now, obviously infected with salt worms. Once bitten, it will be very troublesome, so it is better to run quickly.
With luck, the two quickly escaped from the village. The lunatics did not follow, and more screams resounded through the sky. Yuhu couldn't help but look back, his eyes were full of blood, which was horrible to see.
"How could it be that we have reached such a situation?" Yuhu leaned against the root of the city wall, gasping for breath. There were indeed a lot of crazy people in this village before. She helped the village chief to control and tie them up.
"You borrowed money to save the people in that village?" Chen Ziqi took out the little red bird and patted the fluffy little chest, worried that the running just now would hurt him.
"Well," Yuhu pursed his lips, "Big Brother Chang, look at them, did they fall into that kind of... salty bug?"
"Eight out of ten | Nine." Seeing that the little red bird was fine, Chen Ziqi touched the gorgeous tail feathers. The beautiful tail feathers are full of brilliance, and the longest is only half a chi. The roots of the feathers are distinct, and they are full of fine and neat down feathers.
"Guzhi..." Dan Yi seemed to be tickled and wanted to dodge, but restrained. Your partner likes his tail feathers, which is something to be proud of. Just let him touch it again.
Yuhu originally borrowed money to buy some medicine to help a few girls in that village.
The people in Xunfang Village have been sick one after another since a year ago. They have become weaker and weaker. In recent months, some people have started to go crazy. Every household pooled money, invited a doctor to see a doctor, and bought some medicinal materials. But the medicinal materials are limited and not enough for everyone, so they are only given to the middle-aged men and boys in the village, and women are not eligible to eat.
Taking those medicines can indeed relieve some symptoms. Women can only boil it without taking them. There was a girl who said that she saw maggots in her flesh and was afraid, and begged Yuhu to kill her, but Yuhu couldn't see it, so she came up with the idea of buying medicine.
"Give them medicine, it's better to eat salt," Chen Ziqi felt so addicted to it, put the little red bird on his shoulder and let it play for a while, looked up at the fertile fields and sparse villages outside the city, slightly Frowning, "I have to inform the government quickly about this."
I thought that salty worms only spread among the people of the rivers and lakes, but it was easy to handle, but now the common people are also infected, and the trouble is big.
The injustice drum in front of the yamen sounded "dong dong dong", and the yamen opened the door lazily, yawning and cursing, "Which drummer doesn't have long eyes?"
"Xunfang Village, five miles west of the city, all the people in the village are crazy and are running out. You guys hurry up and take care of it." Yuhu said to the yamen in a hurry.
"Everyone in the village is crazy?" The yamen licked his ears, "Woman, you haven't woken up?" Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to Yuhu, but she didn't dare to offend when she saw that she was wearing a Taoist robe that Jianghu people used to wear. He complained in a low voice.
"That's because you didn't see it..." Before Yuhu could finish speaking, there was a sudden scream from the other side of the street.
"A madman bites, come and help!" Someone shouted, ran to a shop, grabbed a big broom with a long handle and rushed over.
However, there was more than one lunatic who rushed forward. Those lunatics were not afraid of pain. Being beaten did not affect their movements at all, and continued to bite frantically. Only then did the yamen panic, and hurried in to report.
There are no quick catchers in this yamen, only a few yamen with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. Master Guan ran out to take a look with his clothes on, and loudly said to a yamen, "Quick, go to the sect to report!"
Chen Ziqi stood on the corner of the street, carrying a bag of coarse salt, and watched the yamen confront the lunatic without any rules, "Why do I think, wherever we go, the salt worm will break out?"
"啾!" Because the divine bird Phoenix was here, they were afraid, and the little red bird held out its small chest.
Chen Ziqi tilted his head and blew the two majestic hairs on the bird's head.
The people from the Extreme Yang Sect came very quickly, and there were only three lunatics on the street, and they were subdued in a few moments.
"Strangle on the spot!" The leading disciple of Extreme Yang Sect ordered, and a man with a big sword raised his sword and slashed.
"Stop!" A silver chain descended from the sky, firmly entangling the big knife, Yuhu grabbed one end of the silver chain with one hand, and frowned, "They just got hit by a worm, there is still help, don't kill!"
"Gu worm?" Several disciples of the Extreme Yang Sect all looked at the jade pot, some with weapons, pulled them out with a swipe, and looked alert, "How do you know?"
After the accident, all the sects received news about Gu insects, but this news was strictly controlled, and ordinary people and Jianghu Sanxia were not clear.
"I..." Yuhu was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said, and it would be bad if Chen Ziqi was involved. The man with the big sword waved off the chain, raised the sword and attacked the jade pot.
"Ding!" With a crisp sound, the big knife touched a dagger, and the person holding the dagger was a young knight.
"Everyone is from the same sect, don't hurt the harmony," Chen Ziqi's sudden burst of internal strength, shattered the big knife with a click, put the jade pot behind him, and greeted a few people with a smile, "In the lower Liuhe sect, it is always a great cause. My junior sister, Sai Tianxian, is under the sect of Hexuzhen."
Hexu Zhenren is the unfortunate uncle who was killed by Chen Ziqi in the woods earlier. Luo Zheng didn't introduce several uncles and uncles well at that time, so he focused on boasting about this uncle, which caused Chen Ziqi to remember such a person. .
Hearing that they were inner disciples of Liuhe Sect, and their seniority was quite high, the outer disciples of Extreme Yang Sect immediately respected them both, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Daye, who has been admired for a long time."
"Don't dare, the two of us came from the Eight Wastelands, and were going to Suxinzong for an errand. We passed by here and saw that a village outside the city had fallen, so I wanted to help," Chen Ziqi handed over a bag of coarse salt in his hand. To the leader, "This is the medicinal powder to resist Gu worms. Flush with water and give it to those people to relieve their symptoms."
Knowing that the two had just returned from the Eight Wildernesses, several disciples of the Extreme Yang Sect were convinced, and immediately went to the street shop to ask for a ladle of water and salt to feed those lunatics, "Is there already any medicinal powder that can be restrained?"
"It's just a temporary relief, so that they won't go crazy," Chen Ziqi said with a look of concern for the country and the people, "I have to trouble a few more people and go to Xunfang Village, Wuli in the west of the city."
"Senior Brother Chang is very polite." The leader agreed repeatedly.
"Although you and I are of the same clan, we are of different sects. You don't need to consider seniority, just call me a great cause." Chen Ziqi said with a smile.
Everyone called Daye in a good manner, but the local accent was heavier, and "Chang Daye" was called "Chang Daye" like "Uncle Chang". A group of people walked out of the city in a mighty way, and the "Uncle Uncle" shouted happily, as if they had entered the brothel Chu Pavilion.
Yuhu's mouth twitched, she was sure that Chen Ziqi did it on purpose.
Outside the city, Chen Ziqi let the people of the Extreme Yang Sect take the lead, while he watched from a distance.
These disciples seem to have dealt with this kind of thing frequently recently, and they are very skilled in their shots. Originally, it was the Fa-rectification on the spot, and the disciples of the Liuhe Sect were not allowed to be killed, so they were stunned. Many madmen from Xunfang Village ran into the city, but the problem in the village was not that serious. They were quickly cleaned up by the people of the Extreme Yang Sect, bundled together, and concentrated in the open space at the top of the village for drying wheat.
"Give them a potion." The people from the Extreme Yang Sect instructed the villagers to draw a bucket of water and pour a bag of coarse salt into it.
As soon as the blue and white salt was put into the bucket, something invisible in the bucket began to twist wildly, and the water surface kept rippling, which looked very strange.
