【Is it because of the locusts? 】

Xiao Ruyu tilted his head and looked at the people inside, asking in confusion.

Eleven nodded gently, frowning slightly.

"The relationship between the people and the government has become strained, and the government officials are worried about how to ease the tension."

"He comes to see Doctor Yang every day, which makes him feel very awkward."

Xiao Ruyu looked over as he spoke and saw Doctor Yang sitting on the chair in the middle with an embarrassed look on his face.

【Master doesn't have a good solution either, he can only look around for now.】

The officials were discussing with Doctor Yang, and a few of them caught Eleven's attention.

He squinted his eyes and looked over, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Little Princess, why do these officials look so bad and their movements are so stiff?"

Eleven stared at the officials, puzzled.

Their hands and feet were noticeably stiff, and every move seemed to require a lot of effort.

Not only that, there was also a layer of death on his face!

Xiao Ruyu glanced at it and didn't take it seriously.

[Everyone has been exhausted from all this these days, maybe they are just tired. 】

[Eleven, let's go make some snacks for them. ]

She suggested.

Eleven withdrew his gaze and nodded in agreement.

Coming to the small kitchen, Xiao Ruyu took out the nectar she had just collected from the garden.

[Eleven, you do it, I'll help you. ]

Eleven hesitated for a moment, but still took the nectar.

"What kind of snacks would the little princess like to make?"

Xiao Ruyu shook his head and thought for a moment.

【Just make some honey cakes and send them over. 】

…

An hour later, Xiao Ruyu opened the pot and couldn't wait to take a piece of honey cake to taste it first.

"Little princess, be careful of the heat!"

Eleven stopped her, reached out his hand to test the temperature, and blew on it carefully.

Xiao Ruyu took a bite and her mouth was filled with sweetness.

Her eyes and eyebrows were curved, and she was happy in her heart.

[Eleven, why do I feel like your cooking skills are getting better and better. ]

Eleven felt a little embarrassed after being praised and changed the subject.

"Let's deliver these honey cakes quickly, otherwise they will disperse."

Xiao Ruyu took a plate, put all the honey cakes on it, and hurried to find Doctor Yang.

The group of officials were still discussing with Doctor Yang, and she passed the honey cakes to them one by one.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. This is the honey cake that Eleven and I made."

When Doctor Yang saw how sensible Xiao Ruyu was, his pride was evident on his face.

"Hurry up and try it. This is Yu'er's gift from the heart."

He took the first piece of honey cake, and after tasting it, he secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Xiao Ruyu was delivering honey cakes to officials one by one when he suddenly noticed that the person in front of him looked strange.

She looked over carefully and saw that the official's face was pale and he didn't look like a normal person.

The limbs are even stiffer than before, and even the fingers cannot flex and extend normally!

"Sir, please take care of your health..."

Xiao Ruyu wanted to kindly remind him, but who knew what would happen next!

The official knocked over Xiao Ruyu's plate and grabbed her neck with both hands!

The speed was so fast that no one had time to react and could only watch him pounce on Xiao Ruyu.

"Yu'er!"

Doctor Yang cried out in surprise and wanted to rush over to block the attack for Xiao Ruyu, but he was too far away.

Xiao Ruyu's neck was strangled and she was pressed to the ground.

She just felt that the sky was dark and she gradually couldn't breathe.

The officer's strength was so great that she could only feel her consciousness slowly fading away.

The little face gradually turned from red to purple!

"eleven……"

Xiao Ruyu murmured, and in her blurred vision, Eleven's figure was getting closer and closer.

The next second, she was suddenly released and gasped for air.

Eleven kicked the official over and walked three meters away holding Xiao Ruyu.

[Is this official crazy?! ]

Xiao Ruyu looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

The scene was in chaos. The official who had just been kicked over stood up in a strange posture, using both his hands and feet.

His head was tilted, and some kind of dark liquid was flowing from his mouth.

Xiao Ruyu felt her stomach churning. She suppressed the urge to vomit and stared at the official's actions.

Seeing that his attack on Xiao Ruyu failed, the official turned around and pounced on Doctor Yang who was in the middle.

A wild beast-like roar came from his mouth.

【Master, be careful! 】

Xiao Ruyu realized that his target was Doctor Yang, so he drew out Eleven's sword and threw it over.

【Catch it! 】

“Bang!”

The sword landed crisply at Doctor Yang's feet. He grabbed the sword and pointed it at the official.

"Calm down!"

Doctor Yang could tell at a glance that this was a case of poisoning, and was eager to call back his sanity.

But the official was no longer human at this time, crawling towards him in a twisted manner.

Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, the official's eyes suddenly widened and a mouthful of black blood spat onto the sword.

The next moment, his body slowly fell down and his pupils gradually faded.

Doctor Yang carefully checked his breathing, then shook his head at everyone.

【What on earth is going on here? 】

Xiao Ruyu exclaimed.

Everything happened too suddenly. Everyone looked at the official's body and looked at each other in confusion.

"This... is so horrifying."

"What's wrong with him?"

Several officials were so frightened that they trembled and hid aside, not daring to come forward.

Doctor Yang's hands were also trembling slightly. He was a normal person half an incense stick ago, but he died in such a hideous way.

"Eleven, go call the coroner over."

"Take the body outside for an autopsy!"

Eleven agreed and immediately prepared to go to the government office to find a coroner.

Xiao Ruyu originally wanted to follow and help, but after she took two steps, she saw the official's distorted face.

"vomit……"

My stomach was churning and I finally couldn't hold back my nausea and vomited.

Her little face was pale and she vomited out yellow bile.

Eleven quickly supported her body, his eyes filled with heartache.

"Don't follow. Eleven and Master can handle it."

He smoothed Xiao Ruyu's back to make her stomach feel better.

Xiao Ruyu shook her head and insisted that he carry her forward.

Half an hour later, the coroner informed Doctor Yang of the autopsy results.

"Not poisoned?"

Doctor Yang found this very strange; he saw the official's symptoms and it was obvious that he had been poisoned.

The coroner was extremely certain and insisted that it was not poisoning.

"The cause of death of this person is extremely strange. Although it looks like he was poisoned, there is not a single toxin in his body."

"But I can't figure out the specific reason."

Doctor Yang also investigated but found nothing else.

Just when he was feeling strange, a servant suddenly received a letter and knelt down in front of him in panic.

"Dr. Yang, something bad has happened! Li has escaped from prison!"

Xiao Ruyu, who had just arrived, looked nervous when he heard the news.

[That bad guy escaped from prison? Could it be that he was rescued by someone behind the scenes? ]

【If we chase them now, we might be able to catch them all in one fell swoop! 】
