Chapter 052 Brother
The two Jinyiwei were horrified.
"How did you get infected so quickly?"
The Jinyiwei who occasionally made animal noises when speaking asked.
Bai Tanggao realized it later. He raised his hand silently and touched his trembling ears.
It was fluffy and very warm. As he moved his hand, he could feel the dense nerves on his ears, all of which were fed back to Bai Tanggao's face, which turned completely red.
He suddenly heard an inappropriate sound coming out of his throat: "Ying——"
The whole audience was silent.
Everyone gasped.
White sugar cake: "..."
His life was dark.
***
Everyone probably understood why it was always the Jinyiwei who seemed to have just tamed his tongue who was speaking.
The remaining one probably couldn't speak any more.
I just don't know what is hidden in their white hats.
It's better for people to be a little confused.
"Ordinary people don't get this disease, right?"
Baitanggao pulled Wang Yu howling.
Wang Yu looked at Baitanggao sympathetically and shook his head: "You are unlucky. This plague is something I have never seen before."
This species of disease is really strange.
It actually makes people grow an extra pair of ears!
Wang Yu couldn't help but think of something. When he was chatting with Jian Tiansi before, he accidentally learned about one of Jian Tiansi's unique secret methods.
"bass--"
A sharp reflection shone on everyone's faces like the sun, and everyone was dazzled by the light.
The silent swordsman drew his sword.
Wang Yu stepped forward and said in a serious and concerned tone, "How about chopping it off and seeing?"
He gave her a firm look: "Don't worry, it won't hurt."
White sugar cake: "..."
His ears were pressed down, and he waved his hands around and said randomly: "No, no, thank you, thank you."
Come to think of it, this ear feels pretty nice to touch.
Keep it, he can relieve stress by masturbating occasionally.
Wang Yu took back the sword with regret.
Fried ghost held his mask tighter.
The Jinyiwei, unable to speak, stayed at the city gate to guard it.
In Qing County within the roadblock, there was chaos everywhere, with fallen stalls, trampled cloth, and a cabbage crushed by something unknown, leaving a long trail of green juice.
Some strange hairs were scattered on the streets, and an extremely strong smell of blood lingered at the tip of the nose. The ink ropes that could be seen from outside the city were densely blocked outside the houses, like a huge net, and many copper bells were tied at each node of the giant net, as if they were alerting to something.
An unknown liquid was dripping onto the ink rope. It was dark in color. It might be ink, or it might not be ink.
What’s worse is that on the walls of buildings in Qing County, scratches like those left by wild beasts can often be seen.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
The swordsman held the hilt of his sword cautiously.
The sound was neither very loud nor very soft.
It was like my internal organs were beating like drums, approaching from all directions.
Seems far and near.
A chill rose from behind.
"Ding——" the crisp sound of a copper bell shook.
Wang Yu suddenly drew the bow, and a sharp arrow flew out!
"Bang--"
The arrow and its object were firmly nailed to the ground, three-quarters of the way into the earth.
"Gurgle."
The sound became more obvious, and Wang Yu glanced sideways slightly.
Bai Tanggao's ears stood upright, and animal-like vertical pupils suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he unconsciously salivated.
The thing that was nailed down was a pheasant that was killed instantly. It had bright feathers and was very heavy.
"A chicken?" Youzhagui was puzzled.
"careful!"
The Jinyiwei's warning was almost a step late.
Wang Yu used his scabbard to push back Bai Tanggao who suddenly rushed forward.
There was a wave of air, accompanied by a heavy crash, and the bells on the layers of ink nets rang one after another, as if something was coming at them in an overwhelming manner!
"Calm down."
Wang Yu pursed his lips and scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
The black scabbard was across his neck, leaving a heavy red mark on it. Bai Tanggao retched and was startled by being stopped. He suddenly reacted and touched his face blankly. He was drooling.
"It doesn't matter. They can't get out for now. The ink network can still be used."
The Jinyiwei was also swallowing his saliva, but since he was able to walk such a long distance to come to the rescue, he must be quite capable.
He clenched his fists tightly, and blood immediately dripped down his scarred arms.
There were many "嘤" in his words.
The Jinyiwei glanced at the rooster that was nailed to the road and died miserably.
"That's the chicken sent by the human-fox inside who is already beyond saving. If you eat it, you will transform into a beast faster."
"Let's walk faster, Master Hua is just ahead."
Youzhagui glanced at the building blocked by layers of ink net with lingering fear. The copper bell gradually stopped shaking, and it seemed that the human-fox inside was just playing a little joke on them.
Fortunately, as soon as Bai Tanggao transformed into a fox, he quickly used his talent to fix the shape of his body.
The Jinyiwei led the three people around and came to a wall about two meters high. They exerted force with their legs, jumped up suddenly, and then landed very steadily on the narrow path.
His back was arched, his cold and sharp eyes were full of vigilance, and the thing wrapped in the white hat suddenly stood up, forming two towering shapes. The white cloth behind his legs was pushed up and a red furry substance could be vaguely seen flashing by.
The Jinyiwei seemed to have subconsciously confirmed that it was safe, breathed a sigh of relief, and whimpered at the three people under the wall, with an animal-like attitude.
As time goes by, the characteristics of the Jinyiwei will become less and less.
The Jinyiwei headquarters in Qing County is now located in a wealthy family in Qing County.
The homes of wealthy families were also full of ink nets.
The Jinyiwei led their men in.
Before the "fox transformation" was identified as an infectious plague, everyone in Qing County just thought it was infected by a ghost.
Ghosts have many ways to influence people, one of which is infection by ghost energy. Ghost energy can infect thoughts and bodies, causing drastic changes in personality or physical deformities.
To be infected, you need to come into direct or side contact with the ghost's true body.
He is not contagious.
Therefore, the first person who grew fox ears was so harmless and even a little cute that someone took him to a rich family's house and used him as a plaything.
By the time the Jinyiwei arrived, a rumor had been circulating in the county for a while, saying that there were fox ghosts stealing food roaming around the county at night.
Some say the fox ghost's fur is red, some say it is white, and some say it is gray. Some children have even come into close contact with the fluffy and warm fur and gave it positive reviews.
There were no casualties and the threat was not serious, so the Dingzipai Jinyiwei took over the investigation.
He stayed in the city for several nights, and one day he suddenly raided the kitchen of the inn, grabbed a chicken and ran away, then informed the county magistrate.
Why are the Jinyiwei who came this time so strange? Are they sick?
That night the county magistrate and his runners surrounded the inn and caught the criminal red-handed.
Well, I was infected, and I didn’t even see any fox hair. I reported it with shame.
Then a series of people were killed, but despite this, no one died. At most, the chickens in the city were poisoned. People's sanity remained within normal range, which indirectly led to the fact that one chicken in the city was worth a thousand gold coins.
The tone and wording of the second report were full of doubts.
Another "甲" character was put up, and this time the "甲" character revealed a problem. Foxes indeed don't eat people now, but there are more and more foxes in the city and fewer and fewer people. This is almost the same as eating people!
The Jia card took the human-fox to investigate the people and objects they had come into contact with, but they found nothing. The trajectory of each person seemed like tangled lines, intersecting but messy and disordered.
Report again, after Hua Tuo of the Yao Zi Pai arrived.
The human-fox gradually became more and more irritable, and a few days after Hua Tuo arrived, he boldly judged that this was not simply a transmission from ghost to human, but a transmission from human to human. This was a rare ghost plague.
The news leaked out and the humans and foxes rioted.
Seeing blood in Qing County, the Jinyiwei could not hold back and used the ink rope to separate and isolate all the foxes, and behead them as ghosts if necessary.
But the medicine never appeared, and more and more Jinyiwei were infected and turned into human-foxes.
"I can only send him here. Master Hua's infection is more serious."
The Jinyiwei brought the three people to the door and said solemnly: "Sir, I leave all this to you!"
“Squeak—”
The door was pushed open.
Wang Yu's heart started beating suddenly.
There was no light in the room and I couldn't see inside.
How many years had he not seen his brother? It had been fifteen years since they separated.
He followed his traces and found him all the way.
His childhood had long gone, and he could only remember that his brother's hands were warm, but his face remained blurry and distorted in his memory.
Would he blame him for not stopping him from leaving, causing him to suffer so much?
Will he feel that he came too late and that he was abandoned?
Thousands of thoughts are tangled together like a tangled ball of wool.
Wang Yu's hands and feet were cold and his breathing was rapid.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Perhaps his brother didn't remember him. If he rushed forward, would his brother look at him strangely?
The closer you are, the farther you feel.
Something in the house rose up.
A pair of dark eyes opened, and a glimmer of light flashed in them.
Wang Yu felt that his shadow was getting shorter, and his body, which had already grown taller, seemed to have gone backwards in time at that moment.
My six-year-old self ran towards my smiling brother.
With a grin, he shouted happily: "Brother, brother, I, I miss you so much!"
Everything in the house is coming into view.
On the nanmu table, a brown fox was sitting in the center of the table.
Wang Yu was stunned.
The fox on the table swept its tail nimbly and its ears stood up.
He uttered a serious "hmm".
The Jinyiwei with half a mask and half a fox face said, "Master Hua is saying that you shouldn't come here. It's very dangerous here. Leave immediately."
"elder brother."
Wang Yu had tears in his eyes.
The fox uttered another serious "meow".
The Jinyiwei behind him frowned slightly: "Master Hua said that you should stop acting like a spoiled child. You can't stay here for long. Just leave the two behind, ahem, the two masters are sorry, but the big enemies can stay."
"No, brother, I will definitely save you!"
Wang Yu quickly said, "I am very good. No, I won't be infected!"
The fox pondered for a moment, and its tail swept from left to right, and then from right back to left.
He whimpered.
Wang Yu instantly perked up and said excitedly: "It's not hard! Brother! I want to save you!"
The half-human, half-fox Jinyiwei was a little slow to explain: "Master Hua said that he has been keeping an eye on you! But he doesn't need your help for the time being, so hurry up and leave! He will use his boots to kick you hard, cough cough, Master Guoshi's, cough cough butt when he gets back."
Wang Yu would never compromise. Although he was just an ordinary person, it was not so easy for ordinary people to be infected with the plague!
What's more, he kept covering his mouth and nose! How could he leave when his brother was in danger!
The man and the fox started arguing, with a Jinyiwei in between translating the fox's words at a very fast speed.
“…”
“…”
The fried dough sticks and the white sugar cake were stunned.
Brother Hua, just forget it if you say we are enemies.
But this is too much. Brother Hua, you just said "呂", how can it have so many meanings?
And how did you and Brother Yu communicate? One of you stutters, and the other one is a fox, but you can communicate so smoothly.
Do you communicate telepathically?
It’s simply a miracle of the world!
I do feel a little sorry for the lonely Jinyiwei who was translating.
“Hmm.”
The fox cried out heavily.
"Brother, believe me!"
Wang Yu looked determined.
"Master Hua said that he lost to you!"
The Royal Guard breathed a sigh of relief with a calm expression.
Wang Yu has always been a stubborn person. Whether it was that he dared to travel around the world with only a bow and arrow at the age of sixteen, or that he dared to rush in even though he knew there was a plague, it all shows his stubbornness.
Brother Fox was ultimately unable to defeat Wang Yu.
The Jinyiwei who served as a cover told them something.
There are breakthrough points in Qing County.
Otherwise, Hua Tuo would not have sent a letter asking two fellow villagers to come and investigate.
But they did not have enough manpower. Most of the Jinyiwei they brought had already transformed into foxes, and even their mental state had been affected by the wildness of foxes. They no longer looked their original appearance and had been completely unrecognizable.
They were worried about using those people, so they had to look for other helpers.
There is a very strange case in Qing County.
They were kept nearby.
He did not transform into a fox, but scales grew on his face. This is an extremely special case, and perhaps we can find some clues through this special investigation.
Wang Yu took a deep breath and strode away.
Hua Tuo's upright body suddenly softened, and he sighed sadly: "Ah."
The half-human, half-fox Jinyiwei raised an eyebrow, but unfortunately it was not obvious on the fox's face, instead it showed a different kind of liveliness: "Why didn't you speak just now? I almost couldn't breathe, I was suffocating."
Hua Tuo wiped his face with his claws and said with a wry smile: "Brother is so useless. He has been tricked by a ghost like this. He has no face to speak!"
The fox's face lay between its paws, its tail drooping in disappointment: "It's really not handsome at all, the whole thing is ruined! Ugh!"
The half-human, half-fox Jinyiwei: "..."
He rolled his eyes speechlessly.
