Cannibalism

When Xie Sheng and Yuan Shiren returned to the small hill on the outskirts of the city, it was already night, and the sun only left such a faint luster on the edge of the green cloud.As the sun sets, Weizhou, which was not originally a sunny day, becomes even more difficult.The fleeing people did not bring enough clothes, so they could only sleep under the thatch mixed with dirt.

Fortunately, the flood happened at the turn of summer and autumn, and the cold night was not so cold. The strong men could rely on the few pieces of fat on their bodies to keep out the cold, but it was hard for the women and children. Their weak bodies could not withstand the slap of the flood. And with the drizzle of autumn nights, some people are already sick.

Women, children, and children were placed to rest in caves with limited space, while men guarded the entrance of the cave to prevent night wolves from attacking.The open space outside the cave has a slumped cliff to block the rain, but it can't block the wind. The men wrapped their sleeves and necklines tightly.Strange to say, the wild animals in Weizhou can't find a single one during the day, they only come out at night, otherwise they can hunt a few wild animals for food during the day when the sight is good.

The men took turns to watch the night outside the cave. What was strange was that it was rare to hear the frightening howling of wolves tonight, and even the sound of the wild beasts in the woods foraging for food disappeared.Not long after, they withdrew half of the night watchmen, gathered around the campfire and fell asleep.

So much misfortune had happened these days that everyone was exhausted by the flood.There were snoring sounds one after another inside and outside the cave, and Kiteshiren who was hiding in the grass in the distance heard it, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

Seeing Xie Sheng coming from the forest, Yuanshiren quickly asked, "Where have you been?"

It was raining lightly, and the moon's clean face was covered by clouds. Xie Sheng's whole body was pitch black, with no light, and his steps in the grass were so soft that he couldn't hear any movement.He sat down next to Toshiro Jin, frowning tightly: "I drew a border over there, and sprayed some body/liquid on the border. In this way, those beasts in the forest will not disturb us gone."

Tigers without consciousness always use urine to mark their territory, and those small animals will naturally leave when they smell the smell.Xie Sheng has been wandering in the wild for a long time, and he also learned this trick.Although Yuanshiren didn't know tigers before, he could understand these principles pretty well.

However, Xie Sheng was obviously a little afraid that the other party would misunderstand him, so he explained through the window paper: "If you use magic to create a barrier, it will waste energy, and if someone wants to go out, I may not be able to remove it in time. …with body/fluid, it is more labor-saving and effective.”

"I understand." Yuan Shiren's face turned slightly red when he heard it, and he changed the subject, "Tomorrow, let's ask a few villagers about the situation of Qiu's family in Weizhou?"

"It can only be until tomorrow."

When they came back in the evening, the people had gathered in front of the cave in an extremely organized manner, and there was no single person or a few scattered people.It is inconvenient to ask the enemies about the fact that it is not convenient to do it in a crowded place, so I have to wait for the opportunity tomorrow.

"Why must it be an enemy?" Yuan Shiren lowered his head and sighed, "Yong Chuan once told me that sometimes your Tiger Clan's thinking is too simple and upright. In fact, it may not necessarily be an enemy."

"Well, we'll see then."

Xie Sheng's eyes were very dull tonight.In the past, Xie Sheng would definitely find a topic to have fun on such a good night for two to make Yuan Shiren happy, but at this time, Xie Sheng sat there for a long time without speaking, the light in his pupils was dazed, he didn't know Thinking about something.

Yuan Shiren also noticed Xie Sheng's strangeness.He has known Xie Sheng for many days, in his memory, there were only two times when Xie Sheng was truly depressed, the first time was when he saw Xie Gan's whole body burned and disfigured, and the remaining time is now.

"Xie Sheng." As a deity who can empathize with all things, Yuan Shiren can more or less feel Xie Sheng's depressed mood, "Today, the god of mountain torrents is causing trouble in Weizhou, do you recall Your ninth brother? I... I don't know how to comfort you. "

Yuan Shiren had no friends since he was a child, let alone brothers, sisters, parents and children, and lived alone in the Yuanshou God Realm, unable to personally experience the pain that Xie Sheng suffered.

"It's okay." Xie Sheng looked up at the dark clouds above his head, and suddenly gave a low laugh, but Yuanshiren heard it, and didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or cry.

It's really the first time I saw Xie Sheng's sad face like Xie Sheng's.

Yuanshiren pressed Xie Sheng's arm, leaned closer to look him in the eyes: "Do you want to tell me something?"

Xie Sheng shook his head: "No, Ah Ren thinks too much."

Xie Sheng conjured up a woolen cloak and wrapped it around Kiteshiren's body, and then lightly touched the top of his head, and a large transparent baffle appeared in the air.

"They can be used to keep out the wind and rain. You can rest." Xie Sheng closed his eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep too."

Right now it's not even the hour, and Toshiro Jin doesn't feel sleepy at all, but he can only collapse on his side on the ground, blinking his eyes and looking at the night sky under the clouds.

"Where's my gold earrings inlaid with jade! Who stole my earrings? Get out of here quickly!"

Shrill shouts broke the silence.Xie Sheng and Yuan Shiren quickly sat up and ran towards the cave.

Beside the crackling firewood pile, there was a sturdy woman with big breasts standing out and shouting at the entrance of the cave: "My mother's jade-studded gold earrings are brought from her mother's dowry. There was a big flood that day, only time It’s like this from home. This golden earring is the only family heirloom I have left now! Which shameless person was a pickpocket when I just fell asleep? Get out now. Don’t be caught by that time I found out that with my savage temper, I must chop you up and feed you to the dogs!!"

Taking a closer look at her appearance, Tobishiren realized that this woman was a woman she had seen during the day.Her brother-in-law was sitting at the entrance of the cave, staring at the people around him, hoping to spot this shameless pickpocket from the subtle changes in their faces.

"Get out of here quickly!" The woman's eyebrows were raised hotly, and she said angrily, "Don't let me search you one by one, I won't give you a good fruit for a pickpocket!"

The words in the woman's mouth were really unpleasant, and being woken up by her noisy voice, the tiredness of the people around them all brought a hint of impatience.But after all, the only family heirloom was lost, and anyone who changed it would be anxious.A middle-aged man in charge walked straight out of the crowd and persuaded, "Er Niang Ying, tell me about you, your husband has been gone for so many years, why are you still so violent that no one can offend you? How about this?" , Let everyone rest tonight, get up tomorrow, and let everyone help you find it."

Ying Erniang immediately objected: "If my ear is in the hands of that shameless bitch, then I can still find it from him, but if he sneaks out and bury it after a while, what should I do? Dang is the evidence, if he is buried, I will never get it back!"

"This pair of ear bells is the dowry money I left for Xiaozhi. How can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone?!"

"No, no." The middle-aged man who persuaded the fight touched the stubble on his chin, and said, "There are still a few guards awake outside the cave, if there are sneaky people who go out, they must You will notice something. With them helping you watch here, you don’t have to search one by one.”

Others echoed, "Master is right."

"Erniang Ying, go and rest quickly. There is a lot of chaos on the mountain now, so there is no need to rush this matter."

"That's right. With the support of the master, if you really can't find it by then, you can still report it."

Someone chuckled and said in a wretched tone: "Besides, your Xiaozhi is still far away from getting married. Why are you so anxious, Erniang Ying. Why does he need your dowry when he gets married?"

Some people frightened her with wild beasts in the mountains: "If you keep shouting, you will attract wild beasts, and all of us in Weizhou will suffer. Don't be drowned by the flood and be eaten by wolves." gone."

"Yes, yes! The loss outweighs the gain."

……

Therefore, Ying Erniang compromised under the persuasive persuasion of these fellow villagers.She slowly walked back to the original resting position, but found that only half of the position was left, and the other half was occupied by other women and children.

Ying Erniang was no longer in the mood to quarrel with the women and children around her about this hardship.She lowered her angry face, her expression was as lifeless as a walking corpse, her eyelashes blinked in a daze, and she tilted her head to stare at the ground.

Yuan Shiren could see that Er Dang was very important to her.

"Let's go, this matter has nothing to do with us." Xie Sheng tugged on Yuan Shiren's sleeve, turned and left.

Yuanshiren glanced at the crowded cave entrance, then at Xie Sheng who was walking away, and immediately followed his pace.

"Xie Sheng—" Tobishiren said softly, "Aren't you really going to tell me?"

"Go to sleep."

Xie Sheng was lying on the grass with his head resting on a raised mound, he saw Yuan Shiren coming to his side, then he closed his eyes and fell asleep with his clothes on.

Coincidentally, Xie Sheng had a dream related to the coming of the God of Plague on a small hill in the outskirts of Weizhou.

At the turn of spring and summer of that year, Xie Xuan, the nine sons of the Xie Tiger Clan, was trapped in Lucheng.Because he was infected with the plague and there was no good medicine to cure him, he passed away forever under the kneeling and watching of the people in Lucheng.

To commemorate Xie Xuan, the genius doctor, the people of Lucheng erected a towering stone statue for him, worshiping him day and night and offering incense.According to the rules bestowed by the gods, if the soul of a dead person has not yet entered reincarnation and is worshiped by tens of thousands of people in a whole city, he will not enter reincarnation and become a god.

After seven days of worship, the dead souls will be able to return with their godheads.

It may be easy to make a family feel grateful, but it is even more difficult to make tens of thousands of people in the same city and country worship together piously.Since Pan Gu opened up the world, there have been countless people in the world who have become gods and immortals after death.Xie Xuan made all the people in Lucheng so grateful to him, all thanks to his ability and the benevolence of doctors.

Therefore, when Xie Sheng and his elder sister Xie Gan rushed to Lucheng after receiving the news of Brother Nine's death, what they saw was this: the people all over the city gathered around the stone statue by the riverside and fell to the ground on the stone statue of Xie Xuan, weeping until they shed tears. full face.This dense area is full of sincere worshipers. They have all been rescued by Xie Xuan's elixir, and they were able to survive serious illness and spend the rest of their lives with their parents, wives and daughters.

After hearing the news of Brother Nine's death, Xie Sheng and Xie Gan huddled together like children and wept until they burst into tears. Now their eyes are so swollen that they can't open them, but when they saw the blackness, they kowtowed The crowd, the two of them stopped crying and smiled at each other with tears in their eyes.

Their second siblings knew this well: if these people worshiped for seven days in a row, their ninth brother would be able to follow the way of heaven and come back to life and reunite with them again.

"Brother, that's great!" Xie Gan said with a smile while wiping away his tears with his sleeves, "Our ninth brother is saved."

Xie Sheng clapped his hands with tears in his eyes: "I knew that good people will be rewarded. Ninth brother saved so many lives, how could he die so easily, God is so unfair."

"Brother Ten came a long time ago, but he didn't tell us this exciting news, which made us sad for many days." Xie Gan searched for Brother Ten back and forth. She was happy, but tears still flowed from her eyes When he came out, he snotted and burst into tears with joy, "I'm going to beat him right now! See if he dares to lie to us in the future."

Xie Sheng saw Xie Gan running and jumping away, so he went to the residence alone to check the people nearby.

Some people lost their arms and legs in this disaster, so they couldn't go to worship in front of the stone statues. They could only lie on the head of the bed with their hands clasped together, silently praying to God, hoping that the miracle doctor Xie Xuan would change his life against the sky and return as soon as possible.

Xie Sheng walked into the nearest courtyard and saw an elderly uncle lying in the room, so he asked, "Hi old man, how is your health?"

The old man's eye sockets are full of wrinkles, and his skin is rough and yellow. One can tell that he is old at a glance, and he has just recovered from a serious illness and has not taken good care of his body.He put down his clasped palms and looked up at the young man entering the room.

He saw that the face of the man in front of him was three to four points similar to that of the genius doctor Xie Xuan, and he felt close, so he didn't ask who he was.He directly lifted the quilt, pointed down and said, "Hey, look, both my legs are broken, so I won't be able to walk for the rest of my life."

Xie Sheng saw that his lower body was indeed missing two calves, only the thigh and knee were left, but when he introduced the broken leg, he was extremely generous, and there was a hint of teasing in his tone, not much sorrow.

Xie Sheng couldn't help feeling surprised, and said, "Old man, your attitude is really good."

The uncle smiled and said, "If it hadn't been for Doctor Xie to snatch me back from Hades, I would have died in the river long ago. How could I have the chance to see my two dispensable legs? Since Doctor Xie saved me I, I have to live a good life, and I can't live up to his expectations, hey! It's a pity that the miracle doctor..."

Xie Sheng was very moved when he heard it: "Brother Jiu has believers like you, and he will definitely cry under the Nine Springs."

"The little brother turned out to be the brother of Miracle Doctor Xie." The old man sat up excitedly from the bed, "I said, the appearance of the little brother is very similar to that of Miracle Doctor Xie, and he must be a kind-hearted good man just like Miracle Doctor Xie."

Xie Sheng's face turned reddish.He thinks that he can't compare to the ninth brother Xie Xuan anywhere.

"Is the food here enough for your future life?" Xie Sheng took out a large bag of rice from his cuff, "I'll give you some food, these are the crops I usually grow by myself, you can make do with it. "

The old man stared dumbfounded at the bag of rice that was several times thicker than Xie Sheng's cuff, and it took him a while to recover.

"This, how dare you accept this." Although the old man refused, he was already happy in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the bag of rice, "We have already taken the panacea of ​​the miracle doctor, how can we be so embarrassing?" Collect food from your family."

"Just accept it." Xie Sheng put the bag of rice on the old man's bed without saying a word, "I usually like to grow crops when I have nothing to do, and now I have planted a full warehouse, and I brought many bags of rice with me , are all distributed to the fathers and villagers.”

Xie Nan arrived in Lucheng a few days earlier than them, and had already found out that the God of Plague was causing chaos in Lucheng, so these people suffered an innocent disaster.The Taishang Laojun of the Heavenly Court once visited Tianyan Mountain for this matter, hoping that the Xie Tiger Clan could help the people of Lucheng who were affected by the disaster.

Naturally, there is no need for Taishang Laojun to come forward for this.Their ninth brother has already stepped into Lucheng, so the entire Xie Tiger Clan is obliged to save the common people in Lucheng.

In this way, the crops that Xie Sheng and his servants planted up and down the mountain on weekdays will be of great use.He rolled hundreds of bags and prepared to distribute them to the local people, hoping to help them through the most difficult time.
