Chapter 137 Plague in the City
The Xia family members who were being carried looked like wealthy people out for fun.
Because the food had been better these past two days, everyone and the Xia clan members worked even harder, serving the Xia family members comfortably, and they didn't dare to have any bad thoughts.
After days of eating tree bark and soil, they are really satisfied with their hard-earned life now.
They now hope to reach the land of exile in this way.
Life was not so easy for Helian Zhi's family of six. It could not be said to be the worst, but it was only getting worse.
They don’t get a turn to eat, and they don’t get to do any work, but they are the ones who get beaten and do odd jobs.
Every day is a life of misery. I get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. The most important thing is that I am not liked by anyone. It’s so miserable.
Helian Zhi's face was so ugly that no one wanted to see it, so someone finally suggested putting a black hood on him.
Ever since what happened that night, Ye Qingyu now has an extremely strong resentment towards Helian Zhi. In addition, Helian Zhi has been pushing the dirty and heavy work onto her in the past two days, and the little affection between them has been consumed.
Why did she fall for such an irresponsible guy in the first place?
There are six people in the family, the father and son are not getting along, the mother and son are not getting along, the brothers are not getting along, and the husband and wife are not getting along. If they were not at the bottom of the society and did not even have the qualifications to speak loudly, they would definitely quarrel even more fiercely.
"It doesn't matter. Once we reach the place of exile, she can reconcile with Helian Zhi and live their own lives."
Thinking of this, Ye Qingyu regained his spirit.
Duan Yu watched Zhang San and the others taking people to the city, then looked at the closed car door. He hesitated for a moment and finally walked to Xia Xing'er.
"Junior Sister, a few days ago, your senior brother received news from your senior sister that there was a plague in Qu County. You know your senior sister's abilities."
Feng Qingyang's second disciple Ling Xuewei is known as a know-it-all in the martial arts world. There is nothing she cannot find out as long as she wants to know.
Since this was said by her senior sister, it means that there must be a plague in Qu County.
"Brother Duan, did my senior sister tell me what the current situation in the city is? Is your visit here due to the epidemic in the city?"
"The city gates are now closed. The Qu County Magistrate concealed the epidemic and did not report it. As for the situation inside, I am not too sure. Your senior sister just said that there was an epidemic, but she didn't say anything else."
"I came here this time because of the epidemic in the city!"
Since Xia Xing'er knew that there was an epidemic in the city, she couldn't let Zhang San and the others enter the city.
But the entire exile team was short of food and clothing, and she couldn't just take out the things in her space out of thin air.
She was worried about Brother Duan going in alone, so she had to think of a way.
Xia Xing'er repeated to Zhang San what Duan Yu had told her. Zhang San also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he listened to Xia Xing'er and let the exile team rest in an open space farther away from the city gate.
Xia Xing'er followed Duan Yu and the others towards the city gate.
At this time, they saw a man and a woman at the city gate, knocking on the door.
The two men were dressed no differently from beggars.
When the two saw Xia Xing'er and the others, they rushed over as if they had seen their saviors.
It turned out that the two were originally from Qu County. Some time ago, the brother and sister were abducted by human traffickers and taken to another county.
Later, the human traffickers were beaten to death by kind-hearted people, and they were rescued.
The man gave them some money and asked them to go home.
But the two men were not very old and had large amounts of banknotes on them, so the consequences can be imagined.
The two suffered a lot along the way. Their silver was stolen, their clothes were stripped, and their shoes were forcibly taken off.
The two were alone and helpless, and were the ones who were trafficked the farthest away. After finally reaching their own home, they were locked outside.
They had been guarding outside for several days, but no one had opened the door and not even a bird could get out.
Xia Xing'er and the others looked at each other and knew that the situation in the city was not optimistic.
Seeing them guarding the city gate, Xia Xing'er stepped forward and persuaded them, "I still suggest you go somewhere else. It's dangerous here."
When the man and the woman heard what Xia Xing'er said, they were immediately confused. If they were asked to go somewhere else, where could they go?
"Why should we leave? Our home is right here!"
Xia Xing'er didn't want to explain to them. She couldn't tell them that there was a plague inside.
Although she knew that her senior sister's words could not be false, she had no evidence. How could she expect others to believe her without evidence?
Seeing them continue to knock on the door, Xia Xing'er didn't try to pull them away.
At this time, black smoke was curling up inside the county town. Xia Xing'er pointed at the black smoke and asked in confusion, "Why is there so much smoke? I don't know what's burning. It seems to smell like barbecue."
After hearing Xia Xinger's words, the two people who were knocking on the door stopped what they were doing.
Zhang San sighed again, thank goodness he was a person who listened to advice.
There's something strange about this city. Otherwise, why would the city gates be closed in broad daylight? There's not even a gatekeeper. This is abnormal, really abnormal.
But they don’t go to the city to buy supplies, but they still have to go into the city to get stamps from the county government!
What terrified them even more was that if there really was a smell of barbecue as Xia Xing'er said, then the black smoke might be caused by burning corpses. How dangerous would this city be then?
The two young men and women waiting at the city gate had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. After a pause, they continued to bang on the city gate.
As the two continued to slap and shout, he suddenly vomited blood.
Everyone present was terrified. They didn't know what disease these two people suddenly had that made them vomit blood for no apparent reason.
Duan Yu quickly reached out to diagnose them.
As soon as they reached out their hand, they immediately retracted it and asked for some white powder, saying that they had to wash their hands thoroughly, otherwise they would not survive the night.
And tell Zhang San and others that these two people have been infected with the plague.
Let people in the team stay farther away from each other and take protective measures.
Everyone didn't know what was wrong with Zhang San. They were already far away from the city gate, so why did he have to go even further?
We still need to take precautions, why? Everyone has a puzzled look on their faces!
Everyone looked at the few people who went to the city gate, and they all had heavy faces when they came back.
Especially the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley, they knew very well that what Zhang San said was what Duan Yu asked him to convey.
Everyone knew about the medical skills of the Divine Doctor Valley. Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, they still did as they were told.
Duan Yu looked at the confused yet obedient faces of the crowd and said solemnly, "There's a plague in this city. The man and woman just now were also infected. We're so close, I'm afraid we can't escape it either."
When everyone heard Duan Yu's words, they were suddenly panicked.
"How could there be a plague?"
