"Let's go," Ye Xunzhi said.
Fu Linglong nodded and said to the child, "Zhuang'er, kneel down and kowtow three times."
Zhuang'er didn't know why he had to kneel, but he obediently knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times in the direction of the village.
“Zhuang’er, from now on we will be your grandparents,” Fu Linglong said.
Zhuang'er was clever; without anyone teaching him, he kowtowed three more times to Ye Xunzhi and Fu Linglong, saying, "From now on, Zhuang'er will definitely listen to Grandpa and Grandma."
"Good boy, get up." Fu Linglong helped Zhuang'er up, took his little hand, and left the village.
Zhuang'er looked back at the village every few steps, tears welling in his eyes.
Mother, you must come and see Zhuang'er!
At this moment, Zhuang'er did not understand what leaving meant to him.
Many years later, a great general named Ye emerged in Xiaoyue, who protected the people of Xiaoyue for a lifetime.
Ye Xunzhi and Fu Linglong could kill the mutants in the village, but they couldn't kill all the mutants in Xiaoyue.
Some of the villagers who had escaped the village earlier had actually been bitten by the mutants, but they still took a chance and escaped the village until the mutants bit them, thus starting a new cycle.
Fu Linglong's medicine had some effect, but the quantity was limited.
Even with an unlimited supply of medicine, it's impossible to use it all over the entire Howling Moon Realm at the same time.
Finally, after discussing it with Ye Xunzhi, she had no choice but to send a message to Xiao Jin.
Ye Xunzhi knew that this little girl he had watched grow up was no ordinary person; otherwise, she wouldn't have known about using cowpox to prevent smallpox at the age of eight.
At this moment, they could only place their hopes on Xiao Jin.
Perhaps Xiao Jin can create a miracle.

Yuan Hong, on the other hand, was receiving daily reports of increasing incidents of mutants injuring people within Xiaoyue territory. Even though he sent soldiers to kill the mutants, the number killed could not keep up with the increasing number of people being bitten.
Some villages, located in remote areas, were so mutated that before they could even react, the mutation spread to other villages.
Yuan Hong had only been in power for a short time. He had just resolved the domestic epidemic and then used the explosive formula given to him by Sister Jin to resist the covetous eyes of Bei Li.
Yuan Hong was really at his wit's end, not expecting such a strange thing to happen again.
But he also knew that he was the ruler of a country, and that the safety of the people of Xiaoyue was his responsibility; he had to bear all of this.
Besides deploying defenses in all the cities across the territory to prevent the mutants from getting close, he had no choice but to send a distress message to Sister Jin.
Yuan Hong felt somewhat guilty, as he had only been in power for a short time and all the problems he encountered were thanks to Sister Jin's help.
He's still not strong enough.
After listening to everything Su Ruojin had said, Consort Jiang, Old Madam Zhao, Madam Su, and Su Muyao all fell silent.
"So, the reason why Xiaoyue is experiencing such strange events is because Gao Hongyuan raised the Demon Gu King in advance?" Madam Su asked first.
"Yes, Mother. Although I don't know why Gao Hongyuan was able to raise the Demon Gu King ahead of time, only the Demon Gu King has such an ability."
Grandmother, Mother, Mother, the Demon King almost destroyed the Nine Provinces. Now that it has reappeared, I cannot sit idly by. Moreover, Xiaoyue and Yuanhong are still here. How can I not feel at ease?
If Bei Li manages to take down Xiao Yue with the help of the Demon King, the next ones will be Yun Qi and Da Chu. No one in the Nine Provinces can escape this fate.
"I can only do my best to stop it while its spread is still under control; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable," Su Ruojin said.
What she didn't say was that she was afraid her elders would worry. If Bei Li captured Xiao Yue, there would be a lot of sulfur, which would be used to make more explosives. With the Demon King and explosives, the only outcome for the Nine Provinces would be devastation!
This time it was even more dangerous than smallpox.
