There are deep mountains a hundred miles north of Fugu City.
There are two Zhou villages nearby.
The area with high terrain is called "Zhou Zhou Village".
The low-lying area is called "Xiazhou Village".
There were originally more than 130 households in the two villages.
The village is a hundred feet away from its original site.
The path leading to the village was covered by overgrown weeds. A burly black man in a rough hemp coat had a sharp axe on his waist. The dense weeds half a man's height fell down under the attack of the axe, clearing a path.
The dark and strong man led the way, followed by the man in scholarly robes.
Not long after, two or three years after the epidemic broke out, unfamiliar faces set foot in this deserted village again.
There is no one living here, no human voice.
The houses of the common people were occupied and eaten by insects and ants because they had been deprived of human habitation for a long time. They collapsed under the erosion of wind and rain, and were finally covered by the wild growth of bushes, which made people feel inexplicably cold.
The dark and strong man wiped the sweat off his face casually.
Put the hatchet back on your waist.
"Sir, this is the former Xiazhou Village."
Two villages were sealed off due to an outbreak of disease, and only a dozen of the 130 households died, leaving only about 20 people alive. The former county governor was worried that the disease was still lurking in the village, so he sent people to forcibly relocate the surviving common people to other villages.
Last week's village and next week's village were forcibly sealed off.
The young man frowned, looked around, raised his hand to clear the foul air from his nose, and said, "Shousheng, let's take a look around."
The dark and strong man called "Shousheng" nodded in response.
The two were Gu Chi and Li Li who came to investigate the village affected by the epidemic. "Shousheng" was the name given to Li Li by his wife. Li Li's family name was "Lü" and he did not have a proper name, so his wife gave him the character "Jue", which means "Shousheng".
Derived from "Finally overcoming the danger, which was unexpected."
It also implies finding a way out of a desperate situation.
Lili is actually a nickname.
It was a little hobby between him and his wife in the boudoir.
Now that he has a proper name and a proper courtesy name, the nickname "Li Li" is no longer suitable, so Gu Chi and others just call him by his courtesy name.
Li Li, also known as Lu Jue, did not dare to stray too far from Gu Chi, and the abandoned village was not big. It only took them a quarter of an hour to tour the place, and they did not find anything unusual.
Gu Chi said indifferently, "Let's go to Zhou Village."
Lu Jue took the lead as usual.
After a while, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
About half an hour later, two figures appeared in a corner of the ruins of the previously empty house. They looked haggard, with greasy dirt on their faces and yellowish-white dandruff on their long hair. Although their clothes were old, they looked exquisitely made.
There was still some anger on one person's face.
Only after seeing Gu Chi and the other two leave did he scold in a low voice.
"Why didn't you kill him just now?" He wanted to stab Gu Chi in the back with a knife several times. The two were only three steps away from each other! As long as he moved quickly, Gu Chi would definitely die!
But the person next to him was too afraid of death and tried to stop him.
"If I could kill him, I would have killed him long ago!"
The problem is that Gu Chijin is very vigilant and always on guard! If he can't kill them with one blow, they will be the ones to die.
"Afraid of death!"
"Who are you saying is afraid of death?"
However, what the two did not expect was that—
"Is this epidemic caused by you?"
A strange and indifferent male voice quietly came into my ears.
The two were so frightened by the voice that they didn't even bother to check the identity of the male voice, and ran in the opposite direction of the person who came. One of them even used the help of the Word Spirit.
"Can you escape?"
As expected, before the two of them could escape far, they were thrown away by the rising spirit under their feet. Another dark and strong figure blocked their escape path. They were Gu Chi and Lu Jue who had just left. Before the two of them could despair, Lu Jue grabbed one of them by the neck with one hand like a chicken and threw him to the ground with all his strength.
It rolled on the ground several times and finally landed at Gu Chi's feet.
As for the other person
Lu Jue kicked him directly in the knee.
Take your opponent's jaw off.
He threatened coldly: "If you dare to run away, I will cut off your tongue!"
Gu Chi came over with a sword in hand, glanced at the man with contempt, and put the tip of the sword against his throat: "I thought he was some kind of person, but he is just a half-baked scholar. It is rare to see you in such a state. Tell me, how did you spread the disease?"
"Pooh!"
He spat out a mouthful of smelly saliva.
Obviously he was unwilling to cooperate with Gu Chi.
"Hahaha, you want to know? I'd rather tell the King of Hell than you, Shen Ze's running dog!"
He wanted to disgust Gu Chi even when he was about to die, but Lu Jue was not a good-tempered person. Seeing him humiliating Gu Chi, he raised his hand and slapped him. Snap! The slap made the man's head buzz, and his head was almost blown off his neck by the force.
The sky and earth are spinning, and the colors are reversed.
Little winding red snakes flowed out from the ears, nostrils, and corners of the mouth. I lost my hearing instantly, and it took me a long time to recover.
Gu Chi said: "Shou Sheng, don't beat him to death."
He is only good at prying secrets out of the mouths of living people.
It’s difficult to operate when a person is dead.
"Don't worry, sir. I will be very careful when I attack you."
Death will not die.
At least he won't die for a while.
It took Gu Chi almost no effort to use the spirit of words to extract the secret from their mouths - as expected, the two of them were the "slippery fish" of several local tyrants in Fugu City who were on the run.
They held a grudge and were always thinking about killing Shen Tang.
However, Shen Tang managed Fugu better and better, and the common people supported him wholeheartedly. They tried several times but failed. Not only could they not instigate the common people to cause unrest, but they also almost exposed themselves. They were unwilling to leave their hometown, so they kept wandering around, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Zhou Shangcun and Xia Zhoucun have been abandoned for many years.
Normally, no common people would come near.
Great for hiding.
Just as they were cursing the heavens and the earth, the heavens seemed to respond to them. After the beginning of summer, there was a heavy rain. In the middle of the night, the rain washed away a grave, revealing the pit of corpses buried under the mound.
The bodies in the corpse pit were the common people who died of the last epidemic. When the two saw this, they had a vicious idea in their minds, to spread the disease from the bodies to Fugu City! Even if they couldn't kill Shen Tang in one fell swoop, they could still take revenge on the heartless Fugu common people.
These common people depended on their family for survival, and when they fell, they added insult to injury. They really deserved to die.
Relying on their cultural power, they collected rotten flesh and strange insects from the corpse pits and fed them to the captured mice, which they then threw into the well connected to the water used for the treatment.
Then just wait for good news.
So, the epidemic in Fugu City was caused by them
After hearing these words, Lu Jue was so angry that he wanted to punch a hole in their heads. Do these bastards know how many people will be killed by the outbreak of the epidemic? How cruel! How can they do such a thing! He was so angry that his cheeks were tense and his eyes were glaring.
The anger was so great that people dared not look directly at him.
Compared to him, Gu Chi was much calmer.
He is not surprised!
These people who lost their wealth and glory overnight and fell into the mire never cared about the lives of ordinary people. They only vented their inner hatred and implicated all those they thought deserved death. They slaughtered the whole family at the slightest displeasure, without any humanity at all.
If the plague is released, only the common people and enemies will die.
They are happy when their enemies die, but what if common people die
Can the life of common people be considered as fate
