Chapter 561 Who would want to die when they can live?
Just when Qi Zheng was about to step forward to stop the man, Lin Mo stopped him in time.
"Stop."
Lin Mo's voice was filled with indifference:
"Come any closer, and I can guarantee that all your heads will fall off."
It's so rotten, who knows if it's contagious?
So the best way is to not have any contact with them.
Perhaps it was because Lin Mo's voice was too cold, the man with festering wounds all over his body stopped and looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.
It seemed to carry a hint of desire and pleading.
Lin Mo frowned. Did this man want to beg her to kill him?
She must have misread this.
Who would want to die when you can live?
But the next second, the man with a rotten body and a disgusting nausea-inducing smell walked towards her again.
This time, there was a burning light in his eyes, like a moth about to fly into a flame, and at the same time, his mouth made unclear single sounds, as if he was saying something.
Seeing that he was still coming over, Qi Zhengfei frowned and clenched his hands into fists.
Lin Mo tried to stop Qi Zhengfei again. She still felt that it was better not to have any contact with the other party, so she took her men and slowly retreated to the second floor.
At this time, the shopkeeper on the side shouted frantically:
"No, don't kill him.
If you kill him, you will be the next person to become like this."
While saying this, the shopkeeper and the waiter ran madly towards the backyard, as if they were going to abandon the place.
Lin Mo was shocked.
Without time to ponder the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, seeing the festering man getting closer and closer to him, Lin Mo could only lead his men to retreat to the second floor.
Qi Zhengfei and Qingluan always protected Lin Mo.
Qi Zhenghuan's expression on the side was extremely ugly.
Such an outrageous thing happened in Anhe Town, but I didn’t even receive any news about it.
If he knew in advance that something was going to happen here, he would definitely take a detour and avoid this place.
But now it seems that this is a trap set by someone to make me become like these people.
very good.
He was afraid that someone in his team had betrayed him.
Also, I don’t know if the news that Madam Xu was traveling with me has spread.
If this gets out, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble.
Qi Zhenghuan hid his thoughts and gave his confidant a look, asking him to go out and inquire for information.
Then he stepped forward.
No matter what, he couldn't let Lin Mo get into trouble in front of him.
If anything happens to her, the Qi family will definitely be finished. Xu Wuyan will not let go of those who hurt her, nor will he let go of those who failed to protect her.
"stop!"
Qi Zhenghuan said indifferently, "If you stop and leave, I will give each of you ten taels of silver.
Besides, I can also call a doctor for you."
Qi Zhenghuan's words made the other party pause, but he soon whimpered and shook his head, "Release...take off."
The voice was still hoarse and harsh, like iron scraping against iron, but the two words were clearly heard.
Qi Zhenghuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Is liberation useful?
Have you thought about your family?
Also, if you want to be free, there are many ways to commit suicide, why do you want to harm others?"
The shopkeeper said that if they were killed, he and others would become like them. Why?
Qi Zhenghuan's words made him stunned for a moment, and then he made an unpleasant sound that sounded like crying and laughing, and he shook his head.
After knowing that they couldn't understand, the other party just glanced in Lin Mo's direction, then staggered out.
Once he left, others naturally followed.
Also taken away was the bag of grain that the shopkeeper had taken out earlier.
After they left, Lin Mo came down from upstairs only after the draft had blown away the strange smell in the inn lobby.
Don't blame her for being pretentious.
The smell was so bad that it made her feel uncomfortable and nauseous.
After Lin Mo stood firm, Qing Lian quickly picked up Lin Mo's thick cloak and put it on her, "Young Madam, you are cold."
"Thanks."
Lin Mo thanked Qinglian, then looked coldly at the snow and ice outside, and the group of people who gradually disappeared in the snowy night.
She gestured for Qi Zhengfei to follow quietly.
After Qi Zhengfei chased her out, she looked at Qi Zhenghuan. At this time, Qi Zhenghuan was looking at her. The two exchanged glances that only each other could understand, and then separated.
Not long after, the shopkeeper came back.
Seeing the shopkeeper who survived the disaster sprinkling lime powder on the ground, Lin Mo frowned.
"Boss, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper froze, his face drooping as he asked, "Haven't you heard anything along the way?"
What did you hear?
Lin Mo and Qi Zhenghuan looked at each other.
Now it seems that this matter is not simple. They have not received any news. The worst result is that the Qi family may cause trouble again.
"Speak." Qi Zhenghuan said with a sullen face.
Perhaps Qi Zhenghuan's aura was so frightening that the shopkeeper's body trembled and he explained in a low voice.
A month ago, an illness suddenly broke out in Anhe Town, and some people developed ulcers on their bodies.
At first everyone thought they might have come across something unclean.
But as people who had contact with them began to develop ulcers, everyone began to panic.
Soon things started to get out of control.
Because it was winter, if they left here at this time, they would surely freeze to death or starve to death on the road.
No one dared to take this risk, so they all spontaneously closed their doors and windows, reduced the chances of going out, and avoided contact with people who were infected.
Anyone who contracted this strange disease in the family was driven out of the house one by one, and left to fend for themselves outside.
…
The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this:
“To be honest, I feel quite sympathetic towards them.
But I can't help them much, and I can't protect myself either.
They come to me every day to ask for food. Even if I have a thousand dan of food at home, it is not enough for me to waste like this.
So, I want to play dumb tonight..."
"You're lying." Lin Mo interrupted him, her lips curled up:
"Boss, do you think we are all fools?
Cutting off the beginning and the end leaves many loopholes."
She shook her head, "Aren't you afraid that we are scarier than them?
I'm not lying to you, when I get angry, I'll kill anyone."
The shopkeeper's body stiffened, then softened and he knelt down.
“Woo woo, please spare my life, Madam.
I don't want to lie to you. I have elderly parents and young children at home, and my small shop is my only support.
If I tell the truth, my whole family will suffer, and our fate will not be any better than theirs.
So please, stop asking."
Looking at the shopkeeper's pitiful appearance, Lin Mo said nonchalantly:
“I don’t know whether your family will suffer.
But if you don't tell the truth and tell lies to fool us, I can guarantee that you will be the ones who suffer immediately."
After saying that, she picked up a stool and then gently let go of her hand.
Bang!
When the stool fell to the ground, it broke into pieces and broken wood chips flew everywhere.
The innkeeper's face turned pale. How could the stool fall apart like this after it fell?
No, it’s because this stool has been used for a long time and it’s rotten, so it fell like this!
Yes, that's the reason.
Qi Zhenghuan shook his head, "I'm telling you, don't mess with her, she's a murderer.
Once, she single-handedly killed a whole mountain of bandits and even took off their heads and kicked them like balls."
Lin Mo twitched the corners of his mouth.
She really wanted to say, Master Qi, keep making up stories. I wonder if you can make them even more outrageous?
She had killed bandits on a mountain, but who took off the heads of these bandits and kicked them like balls?
They don't find it disgusting, I do.
This man ruined her reputation.
Lin Mo gave him a fake smile, "Yes, I also picked the black liver and stir-fried it to go with wine. It was delicious."
As he said this, he licked the corner of his mouth.
Then he looked at Qi Zhenghuan provocatively, "There's some ready-made black liver here, why don't you pick it out and I'll cook it myself for you to try?
I'm not bragging, but I'm telling you, once you've had my stir-fried black liver, you'll want to eat it again."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the innkeeper with ill intent.
The innkeeper was frightened by them and turned pale.
How did he end up offending these two stars?
"I think it's okay." Qi Zhenghuan's eyes also fell on the shopkeeper and chuckled:
“It just so happens that I haven’t eaten enough either.
The food is cold and we don't have any hot dishes.
You can cook it, and I'll take care of the heart-wrenching."
After saying this, he walked towards the shopkeeper with ill intentions, and without knowing when, a dagger appeared in his hand.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he trembled and backed away, "I, I said, don't dig out my heart."
Qi Zhenghuan stopped and played with the dagger:
"Then tell me.
If there is a lie, you deserve the feeling of being disemboweled.
Don't worry, I've learned this before. Even if I cut you open, you won't die immediately. You can still watch me take out your still-bleeding heart and liver."
The shopkeeper was already pale with fear, and his body was trembling:
“They…they are like this because they are medicine people.
They took the medicine and that's why they became like this.
The person who tested the medicine on them is from the Song family, and we can't afford to offend him.
The Song family made a harsh statement that no one was allowed to save them, leave the town, or die.
Once they leave town, or die, they'll find a good person to take their place. Previously, someone disbelieved in the evil and went against their wishes, and ended up in a miserable situation.
"I...I'm just a nobody. I can't afford to offend them!"
