Chapter 42 The Locusts Are Coming



Seeing that their plan had failed, the refugees left in anger. Remembering the bloodstains on the cart, their eyes lit up.

They hurried to the "slaughterhouse" and were not at all disgusted by the mess on the ground.

They all picked out what they liked and hugged them in their arms, not caring at all about where these supplies came from.

In just a quarter of an hour, the scene was clear. Aside from the blood that seeped into the soil, it looked as if no one had even been there.

In the evening, Gao Hongbin arranged the night duty team and let everyone rest.

However, since it was the first time for the exiles to kill someone, they lay on the ground and couldn't sleep at all.

As soon as they closed their eyes, they saw blood all over the ground, and the ghosts seemed to be coming to take their lives.

The Ling family's children were so frightened that they had fevers. The old lady hurriedly took a dry branch and knocked here and there to call back the souls of the children.

Many of the younger generations from other families were mentally fragile, and like the children of the Ling family, they had fever, convulsions, and talked in their sleep.

There was no water or medicine on the road of exile, so they had no choice but to imitate the old lady and use the noise to scare away the monsters from all directions.

Chi Xingyue sat on the ground, rubbing his aching eyebrows.

She felt that the impact this day had on her was more exciting than the twenty days of stockpiling exile she had experienced after traveling through time.

Who would have thought that the law-abiding fairy would actually go on a killing spree?

Although she did not take anyone's life personally, in modern times, she would be an accomplice and would be sentenced to ten or eight years in prison.

However, this was ancient times, and human life was worthless.

The little fairy would not feel guilty because the robbers died.

I just feel that I am too calm. Am I a little cold-blooded?

As expected, people cannot release the evil in their hearts, otherwise they will become possessed by demons.

Chi Xingyue rested for a while, picked up the water bag and took a few big gulps of watermelon juice.

The cool and sweet taste dispelled his irritability. Chi Xingyue took a few deep breaths and felt less tired. Then he pulled Ling Jiheng's clothes, indicating that he wanted to go back to the "fairyland".

Although Ling Jiheng had been in the Great Yong Dynasty for more than ten years and did not attach much importance to human life, he still felt a little upset after having killed several of them with his own hands.

As soon as the fairy called him, he got up and wanted to go out for a walk to relax and fill his stomach.

The two came to a corner, Chi Xingyue threw a few steamed buns and a pot of watermelon juice to Ling Jiheng, and then entered the space.

I ran to the bathroom to wash up, then picked fruits from the orchard and fed the animals.

After finishing the work, I went to the private room and found that the numbers on it made me happy.

Chi Xingyue now not only owns a vineyard, a cherry orchard, and a watermelon orchard, but also a peach orchard. It's worth it for her to grit her teeth and persevere every day to tinker with her short legs.

Chi Xingyue sat down on a chair and picked up her favorite food with chopsticks. She took a bite of roast duck and a bite of steamed buns. When she felt choked, she drank a sip of Coke.

After a delicious meal and brushing his teeth again, he slipped out. He replaced the water bag on his body with antipyretic medicine and took Ling Jiheng back to rest.

On the way, he asked, "Why haven't I seen Ling Yi and Hong Yu recently?"

Ling Jiheng said, "We're not short of food these days, so I'll have them follow us from a distance. I'll show up again when we need them."

Chi Xingyue nodded and handed the water bag to Ling Jiheng. After a moment's thought, she stuffed a bag of maltose into his hand and told him to go and coax his nephews and nieces later.

As for myself, my feet hurt, so I won’t get involved.

After eating and drinking and taking a bath, Chi Xingyue was no longer irritable and fell asleep soon.

After Ling Jiheng fed Ling Mingyue, Ling Weiwei and the others the medicine, he came back, put the little fairy's head on his lap, closed his eyes, and fell into a light sleep.

After what happened during the day, he didn't dare to fall asleep. No one could tell if the refugees would attack him in the middle of the night, so he had better stay alert.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, Ling Jiheng opened his eyes. He glanced at the Ling family members, and when he saw that everyone was there, he closed his eyes again.

He didn't doubt the sound he had just heard, but he didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He hugged the little fairy in his arms, and his heart was at peace.

Gao Hongbin also opened his eyes the moment the sound was heard, and pushed the person next to him to see what was happening.

As a result, the man never returned. When it was dawn, he came back with Mrs. Chen in disheveled clothes.

Chi Xingyue opened his eyes, saw this scene, and instantly understood what had happened.

Ling Jiheng directly covered her eyes, the meaning was very clear: don't meddle in other people's business.

The little fairy said she understood, snuggled into Ling Jiheng's arms, and drank a glass of milk and ate a bunch of grapes before dawn.

Ling Jiheng's lips curled slightly as he occasionally accepted the little fairy's feeding. His ears were also paying attention to the movements from the Chen family.

However, he found that everything was so quiet, as if Madam Chen had never disappeared.

It seems that the men in the Chen family do not value the women in the family, and they don’t even know that Mrs. Chen has been raped.

When the sky was just beginning to lighten, we all got up, had a simple barbecue, and continued on our way.

One good thing about setting off early is that the temperature is not high in the morning, so walking is not as tiring.

However, this also means that their exercise volume will be very high.

Fortunately, it's only about ten days away from Yingtian. Just hold on, and you'll be through soon.

Ling Jiheng had a good plan, but afterwards, they were blocked by refugees from time to time, which seriously slowed down their progress.

If Gao Hongbin hadn't drawn his sword all the way and rushed forward to chop people when he saw something was wrong, they probably wouldn't have been able to save any of the boxes.

Finally, on the twelfth day, all the horses died, and the guards began to walk like exiles.

They couldn't bear the pain of working seven or eight hours a day, but now they were in a dilemma and decided to face the challenge head on.

In fact, they had to leave. They were all sent out on missions, and if they couldn't return on time, they would be fired at best, or even beheaded at worst.

They had to eat the food they had on them sparingly. They had seen along the way that there were no supplies, no supplies at all. Once the food was gone, they would starve.

As for going to the city? Oh, they didn't dare at all.

He was worried that the refugees would seize the opportunity to attack, and he was also worried that the city had already been looted by the refugees. After much hesitation, he finally decided to speed up and get to Yingtian as soon as possible.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Xingyue suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He looked up at the sky and found that it was pitch black in the distance.

"What is that?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Ling Jiheng looked in the direction of her finger, and after a moment his expression changed drastically: "It's locusts, a locust plague is coming!"

Locust plague, what a terrifying word, often used together with "no grass growing" and "starving people everywhere".

Locusts filled the sky and land, attacking at a speed visible to the naked eye. But in this desolate wilderness, there was not even a place to hide.

"What should I do? I heard locusts can bite people!"

Chi Xingyue was a little panicked. It was the first time for her to experience such a big disaster.
