"Is it, is it the small village by the sea with only a dozen households?" a thin man asked hesitantly.
Lao Bai nodded: "Yes, it is that small village."
The thin man asked anxiously, "How do you know that village? Are the people in that village okay?"
"We just came from there!"
Lao Bai swung his tail and said, "My master and I stayed there for one night. We also treated the villagers to a big meal. There were only old people and children in the village. They said that their sons and daughters-in-law were captured by the city lord. Did you see them?"
The man's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he asked with a choked voice: "That's my family, that's where my home is. All the able-bodied men from more than a dozen households in our village have been captured. We haven't been back for more than a year. We haven't seen our parents and children for more than a year. Are they okay?"
Lao Bai thought for a moment and said, "Not so good. They have nothing to eat. They only eat wild vegetables and sweet potatoes. They are very thin, and the children are also thin. They look malnourished."
After hearing what Lao Bai said, some men who gradually approached couldn't help crying. They squatted on the ground, covering their faces with their hands and sobbing.
Those are their parents! Those are their children! If they are not with the elderly and children, how can the elderly and children survive alone
Seeing those men squatting on the ground and crying, Lao Bai felt a little embarrassed. If he didn't say those words, would they stop crying? He stamped his hooves and shook his tail in annoyance: "Don't cry, they are actually very good. We left them a lot of food when we left. Now they have something to eat and won't starve."
Upon hearing this, many people gathered around Lao Bai and asked him questions, wanting to know more about their relatives.
On the other side, the city lord brought Fengjiu to the side hall and had someone serve her a few dishes and a pot of wine. He looked at Fengjiu and asked with a smile, "I still don't know where the ghost doctor came from? Where is he going?"
“I was just passing by, and I thought I’d come in and rest.” Feng Jiu paused as she spoke, and her eyes turned to him, saying, “But I didn’t expect to be stopped by those cultivators as soon as I entered the city, and then I was invited here by the city lord.”
Hearing this, the city lord smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, Ghost Doctor, you can have a good rest here. You are absolutely safe here, and no one dares to touch you."
Hearing this, Fengjiu laughed inexplicably. How could she be safe after entering a wolf's den
“Ghost Doctor, come and have a drink. This wine is my treasured possession for many years.” He picked up the wine pot and personally poured a glass of wine for Fengjiu, then poured a glass for himself, and then gestured: “I’ll drink first as a sign of respect.”
Fengjiu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then she also picked up the wine glass in front of her. However, when she brought the wine to her lips, her brows couldn't help but raise slightly, and she put down the wine she was about to drink.
The city lord who had been observing her saw her put down the wine glass and asked, "Ghost Doctor, what's wrong? Is this wine not to your taste?"
Feng Jiu's lips curled slightly, and she said with a half-smile, "The wine mixed with the Ecstasy Powder is indeed not to my taste."
