"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Ye Baijiang asked Ye Beimo for his opinion angrily.

Ye Beimo sniffed and said angrily, "Wait! There must be no food or water in there. Let's wait outside. If they don't come out, we'll just starve to death and die of thirst in there!"

Next, he ordered his men to surround the yard, and blocked the outside with the mad citizens in three layers, determined to trap Lu Xiuyuan and the others inside.

"What should we do? There is no water or food here. Will we really starve to death?" Little Chanen murmured sadly, his delicate chubby face wrinkled into a ball.

Xia Younan touched his little bald head and comforted him, "Don't worry, your sister Xiaoyou and brother Chen Yi have escaped. They know our situation. After they have settled the children, they will ask Senior Yue Xiangsong to rescue us."

"But, didn't Senior Yue Xiangsong go to settle accounts with Bai Ziweng? Bai Ziweng practiced the forbidden book, can Senior Yue be his opponent?" Zen En asked worriedly.

Xia Younan was speechless. To be honest, she didn't know who would win or lose in the duel between the two. She just hoped that Yue Xiangsong could get rid of the evil, otherwise the world would be in chaos.

Ye Beimo was guarding outside, while Lu Xiuyuan and others were waiting in the yard. This lasted for three days...

As if all their luck had been used up, they had been without water and food for the past three days, and despite the extreme water shortage, the weather was getting clearer day by day.

The sun was baking the earth mercilessly, and there was not even a cloud to be seen.

Lu Xiuyuan and his companions had to endure the torture of hunger and thirst during the day, and they dared not even sleep at night. They took turns standing guard with their companions, for fear that Ye Beimo would suddenly attack in the middle of the night.

Three days of not eating or drinking had almost drained all their strength. Several people sat listlessly in the shade of the corner. They were all pale, with chapped lips, dark circles under their eyes, and their stomachs were as deflated as balls.

They kept repeating the action of swallowing, trying to nourish their throats with all the dry saliva.

In the early morning, Xia Younan was so hungry that she couldn't open her eyes. She lay weakly in Lu Xiuyuan's arms, feeling dizzy.

So hungry, so thirsty... Is she dying?

Lu Xiuyuan's face was filled with guilt, and he whispered in her ear with a broken heart: "I'm sorry for you. Following me has made you suffer."

Xia Younan opened her eyes, looked at him, shook her head and sobbed: "I have no regrets even if I die here because I can love you in this life."

"Silly girl." Lu Xiuyuan scolded with emotion, and with red eyes he hugged her again.

"I'm so hungry and thirsty. God, please give me some rain. I beg you." Zhu Li and Xiong Fei were almost going crazy. They hugged the wall and banged their heads against it, hoping for a miracle to happen.

"Don't do this." Zen En tried to pull them away weakly.

"Xiaoyou... why didn't you come to save us?" Zenmu sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the sky and whispering softly.

Compared to them who were in despair, Ye Beimo and the others outside the door seemed much more comfortable.

The food was found in the city by their men in black, and tents were set up for them to rest at night, which was very delicious.

Seeing the people inside the door so hungry and thirsty that their heads were dizzy, Ye Beimo and his companions felt so happy.

They were glad that they didn't kill them directly before, because they felt more comfortable watching them being tortured slowly.

"Your Highness, they are too hungry to get up. You and your brothers can use your Qinggong skills to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard. You should be able to kill them." Ye Baijiang suggested to Ye Beimo with a radiant look.

Ye Beimo raised his eyebrows, smiled evilly and said, "Why waste your energy? Wouldn't it be faster to just watch them perish?"

"Hahaha, Your Highness is right." Ye Baijiang responded with a laugh, exhaled heavily, his heart filled with the pleasure of revenge.

A few people were thinking about it in a smug manner when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Looking over, they saw a dozen horses galloping towards them.

There was a person riding on each horse. They were all strong men wearing traditional Miao costumes, and each of them was holding two jars in their hands.

"Who is it?" Ye Beimo's alarm bells rang and he immediately asked his men to be on alert. At the same time, he put the bone flute to his lips, ready to play it again.

"Your Highness! Don't be alarmed, we are sent by the Lord of Bai Village."

The young man leading the way on horseback raised his arms and shouted at Ye Beimo.

Ye Beimo was startled when he heard this, then he relaxed his guard slightly, stared at them and asked, "Did Bai Ziweng ask you to come? What are you doing here?"

A dozen horsemen approached him, dismounted with the jar in their hands, bowed deeply to him, and said, "The village chief said that once the walking corpse Gu is activated, it can effectively serve the master for three days.

“After three days, the host must be fed with a special potion to provide nutrients for the poisonous insects in their bodies.

"The village chief has heard about what happened in the city three days ago. He knows that you have activated the zombie Gu. He also knows that after three days, the zombie Gu will soon run out of nutrients and lose control, so he asked me to come and deliver the secret medicine to His Highness."

Ye Beimo frowned after listening to this and asked in confusion: "But Bai Ziweng didn't tell me before that the zombie Gu needs to be replenished with nutrients on time in order to continue to be used by the master?"

"Your Highness, you are joking. Don't you think that no matter how powerful the Gu is, it still relies on the human body as its host. If a person does not drink water or eat for three days, his body will definitely collapse. When the body collapses, the Gu will be without a host, and everything will be over, right?"

"That's true." Ye Beimo couldn't find any fault with his words.

But he was suspicious by nature and didn't want to trust a stranger easily. After thinking for a long time, he looked at him worriedly and asked, "What can you prove that you are someone sent by Bai Ziweng?"

"Proof?" The young man scratched his head in confusion, then took out a book from his arms.

This book is about three fingers thick. The paper is yellow and old, and there are holes in some places that look like they were bitten by insects. It looks like it is quite old.

The young man turned the cover of the book towards Ye Beimo, pointed at the three words on the cover and said, "Your Highness, this is called The Complete Book of Gu. I believe our village leader has mentioned this book to you, right? The walking corpse Gu is made according to the records in it.

"If you don't believe me, I'll look up the magic of the zombie insect and show it to you."

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the ground and actually started flipping through the pages one by one.

Ye Beimo dispelled some of his doubts and asked, "This is Bai Ziweng's treasure, how come it is in your hands?"

The young master replied without even looking up, "The people from the Black Miao Village are attacking the White Miao Village. Our village leader is fighting with the Black Miao Village leader. He is afraid that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to steal his treasure, so he asked me to keep it for him first."

"A fight?" Ye Beimo was startled at first, then asked hurriedly, "When did it happen? How was the battle going?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, about what happened three days ago. Our village chief has practiced the Complete Book of Gu. The Black Miao village chief is no match for our village chief. When I came, the Black Miao village chief was already seriously injured and was about to die."
