Chapter 724: I can't be such an adult anymore

At first, the people living closest to the body heard the knock on the door.

They thought someone was looking for them, so they opened the door.

Who knew that the person outside the door was the old man who had died in the family.

The old man's body had turned black and rotten, with the bones on his face exposed. In the moonlight, he looked like a ghost seeking revenge, scaring the whole family.

Fortunately, one person reacted quickly and closed the door and locked it before the dead tree-like claws could grab him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The knocking on the door continued all night long.

That night, not everyone was as smart as this family to keep the body out. Many people put the body inside their homes, which led to tragedy.

The riots stopped when the sun came out the next morning.

When the county magistrate and his men returned with Mianmian, they discovered that something had happened again in the town. Many people cried and screamed, saying that the corpses had moved and were coming to their homes to eat people.

Lying on the ground were the dead bodies that had been bitten by the corpses.

The county magistrate also gasped when he saw the body. Almost all the exposed skin on the dead body was covered with tooth marks, and it was easy to distinguish between human and animal tooth marks.

It is precisely because of the teeth marks on the corpse that it looks even more horrifying! The corpse can actually move and eat people!

Mianmian had never heard of such a thing. After carefully examining the corpse, she frowned and said, "It's bad. The gray gas has turned into black gas and is circling around the corpse."

Gray air and black air are both bad things. If a corpse is contaminated with these things, nothing good will happen.

She asked the people who stayed in the town, "Didn't Mianmian say that we should burn all the bodies? Why don't you burn them?"

Those who decided not to burn the body and were still alive did not dare to look at Mianmian's face.

Yes, the benefactor said that the body should be burned, why didn't they obey? Now, this tragedy has happened again.

The guy with the triangular eyes was lucky enough to survive. According to him, his mother woke him up by knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw his mother rushing towards him with a rotten face. He used the door bolt as a weapon and smashed his mother's head into pieces.

I am old and my bones are loose. I was beaten by a young man like him and I couldn’t move at all when I was lying on the ground.

"I left my mother's body here." The man with the triangle eyes said to the county magistrate very seriously, "My Lord, I think this matter is suspicious. We should ask some experts to take a look. We can't trust these foreigners."

When Liu Xi heard this, he jumped up and said, "What do you mean by foreigners? It was foreigners who saved us."

The man with the triangular eyes said that Liu Xi was brainwashed. He only believed in the great monks and Taoist priests of their human race, and did not believe the words of the monsters.

When the demon soldiers heard these words, some of them who had hot tempers turned their heads to their original forms and roared at the man with the drooping triangle eyes.

Mian Mian hurriedly stopped the monster and said depressedly: "We saved you, and you want to throw dirty water on us again. It seems that monsters and humans really can't live in harmony, alas."

The little girl sighed heavily: "Forget it, I won't force it. Maybe Su Ji is right."

Su Senqi and Jiang Yao felt very distressed when they saw their daughter suffer such a shock.

The two squatted in front of Mianmian and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, Mianmian, as long as our family of three is together, you don't have to feel guilty. People's hearts are fickle."

When the family of three hugged each other, the county magistrate spoke: "You are such a troublemaker. I went to the village with them to rescue people. I clearly saw that a demon brother was also infected with the plague. It was also saved by you. And after they were infected, their condition was worse than ours. Yet you are saying here that they brought the plague to us on purpose?"

"If that's the case, why would the monsters save us? If we see a monster dying, we won't go to save it."

The county magistrate was a student from a poor family who had earned his place in the imperial examinations. He was originally the top scholar in the imperial examination and should have been able to get a very good official position. However, because he questioned a move by the emperor, he was demoted to a small county magistrate.

But the county magistrate never thought that this position was too low and he didn't do his job well. In the past few years when he was in charge, the number of criminal cases in the town decreased year by year, which was enough to prove his integrity and skill.

After suppressing his rage, the county magistrate bowed and apologized to Mianmian: "I'm sorry, my benefactor. I didn't expect that you tried your best to save us, but there are still people here gossiping about you."

The county magistrate set an example himself, and the people's minds also changed, and they all apologized to Mianmian.

Mianmian felt strange: "Why do most of you believe whatever others say? Don't you have your own ideas? Can't you tell whether we are good or bad?"

She asked so directly that some people blushed.

This time it was the county magistrate who explained to Mianmian.

"Because they have little education, and because they have little education, they lack the ability to think, so they will naturally follow what others say."

Mianmian's eyes lit up: "Then I must study hard. I can't be such an adult in the future."

The county magistrate stroked his beard and smiled: "Of course, my little benefactor should also study hard. But at the moment, we still have to rely on my little benefactor. The corpse has become able to run and jump again. What should we do?"

As he spoke, the county magistrate sighed.

Mian Mian didn't know what to do, so she just said, "I'll ask them to find the body, and then see if we can use spiritual power to make it come back to life. But this time, we must burn the body."

No one dared to say no this time.

The monsters dispersed to look for the corpse. Just at this time, Le Ji and Ling Xiao returned to the town.

Seeing the crowd gathered here, Liao Ji first greeted the county magistrate, and then introduced himself. Ling Xiao also introduced himself, and just as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting: "Master, Taoist priest, these monsters may deliberately spread the plague, you must make a decision for us."

Still the same triangle eye.

After hearing this, Liao Ji shook his head and said, "Donor, you are wrong. I and Taoist Ling Xiao have been following them. They have never brought the plague here."

With Ji helping Mianmian clear her name, the county magistrate had the man with the triangle eyes arrested. This time, the common people had no objections, after all, Ji and Ling Xiao were the masters of their side.

After the incident, Liao Ji looked at Mian Mian and said, "I have found the source of the plague. Donor Mian Mian, are you willing to come with us to solve the problem?"

"By the way, the bodies of people who died in various places are also heading in that direction."

The path the corpse took was different from the path Mianmian and the others took back to the city.

When Mianmian heard that the problem could be solved, she hurriedly urged: "Okay, let's go quickly."
