Traveling through the World of Beasts: The Story of the General's Favorite Wife Farming

The matter was urgent, Helian Qi got down from Xuanyuan Yi's body, and asked with a smile on his face, "What's going on?"

The old man stared at them for a long time, and finally said: "Come in and talk."

Helian Qi glanced at Xuanyuan Yi and nodded.

A few people arrived in a dilapidated but relatively large room, and the old man gave them two small mats, which were regarded as chairs.

"You don't need to drink the tea. After I finish speaking, you may spit." The old man took out the dry tobacco, and lit it again with the familiar cut tobacco. The rising smoke blurred his expression, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be See through everything.

Is it that exaggerated?He Lianqi didn't dare to challenge the old man's words, after all he had just recovered, his appetite was not good, and if he vomited again, he might not be able to eat anymore.

"Why don't you go out first, I'll listen." Xuanyuan Yi said softly while holding the man's hand.

The old man looked at them, and didn't say in a hurry, he just waited for Helian Qi to make a decision.His eyes fell on Xuanyuan Yi's waist, the slender silver "belt" looked familiar, after staring at it for a while, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up.

"No, I don't eat, I'm not that delicate." Helian Qi patted his chest, expressing that it's fine.Why hasn't he seen such a big storm?Even Yi Liang has seen that before, there is nothing more disgusting than him.

Yi Liang in the space: "..." He seemed to hear a voice of disgust.

Xuanyuan Yi pulled him closer with a smile in his eyes, Helian Qi snuggled into his arms, chose a more comfortable position, and waited for someone to tell a story. "Please say."

The old man moved his lower lip, he must be smiling, right? "Our village has been most attacked by sea monsters for generations, but the ancestors refused to leave. Do you know why?"

He Lianqi shook his head very face-saving, "I don't know."

Xuanyuan Yi didn't quite understand either, so she just looked at him like that.

"One is that he is reluctant to part with his hometown, and the other is a curse." The old man closed his eyes, put down the pipe in his hand, and the surrounding crowd looked sad. This is their scar, and he said it was torn one at a time.

"Curse?" Helian Qi was a little confused, didn't he say that after the founding of the country, he was not allowed to become a spirit?Where did the curse come from?

The old man smiled, "We are branded with curses." He rolled up his sleeves, and the blood vessels on them were knotted like hideous scars, which seemed to burst at any moment.

"Wait another two years, my blood will gradually solidify inside, and my whole body will stink and turn black within three hours of death, and only a pile of bones will remain after six hours. We all have this disease." The old man Rolling up his sleeves, he said in an unusually calm tone.

It does sound a bit disgusting, but it's not enough to throw up, right?not to mention……

The two asked in unison: "Didn't you find a doctor to see?"

After finishing speaking, Helian Qi raised his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Yi, who also lowered his eyes to look at him thoughtfully.This tacit understanding is getting better and better.

The old man nodded, "Yes, I have been looking for a doctor for generations, but we can't leave this area for a radius of thirty miles, otherwise we will die instantly."

No way?Is that an exaggeration?It sounds like it should be some kind of genetic disease, why are people not allowed to go far?Helian Qi frowned and still couldn't figure it out.

"Our disease usually only occurs when we are seven or eighty years old, and some people are willing to marry or marry. But the incident in the epidemic village is the reason why the local officials completely abandoned us. In the past ten years, for some unknown reason, the villages in the west have not People die constantly, their bodies are full of pustules, and people they touch will also be infected, and they will definitely die within seven days. But if they stay in their local area, they will live for five or six years, or even eight years. Dead people, even There will be pustules in the body, and the death is miserable." After the old man finished speaking, he observed their faces carefully, and found that the two of them were indeed calmer than those people, and he was relieved. Perhaps this was the opportunity for them to be saved.

"So neither of your two villages can be moved away, and they are not far apart, but those people think that coming here may cause them to contract the disease, so they dare not come?" He Lianqi concluded.

The old man nodded slightly, "Yes."

This is really troublesome.He Lianqi played with his old Gong's fingers, and after pondering, he said, "All the people who went in were infected with the disease?"

"Breathe carefully, just don't touch those who are sick. There are very few people who can come out safe and sound. None of the doctors with good medical skills go in. Gradually, no one dares to go in and treat them. .”

"Why didn't anyone report such a big matter to the court?" Xuanyuan Yi said coldly, you know, the disease didn't last for a year or two, but for ten years, so no one reported it?

The old man smiled wryly and shook his head, "The magistrates are greedy for pleasure. We haven't had any newcomers move here for a long time. The officials who come down just take a look at it as usual. It's fine if the officials give some money to get over it. The county magistrate is also 60 years old. He will be able to retire in a year, so how can he care about this? Reporting will affect his performance, so he can just hide it and wait for the second person to come over, and then it will not be his business."

"Can you still come like this? Isn't he afraid that the emperor will investigate him?" He Lianqi was shocked by this kind of behavior, dare to be more rogue?

Xuanyuan Yi said in a deep voice: "After he retires, he can completely refuse to accept his account, or he can coerce and lure the newcomer. The news will be passed on layer by layer, and it will go through the hands of many people. People in the war zone, even if it is support, are the first to find Garrison."

"So why don't they go to the garrison to complain?" There is always a way, right?Don't talk about going there in person, you can send a message.

Xuanyuan Yi looked at the old man, but he had never received such news.

The old man looked very surprised, as if he could still do such a thing, which made He Lianqi a little bit at a loss for what to say.

IQ is a blemish...

A woman on the side said, "The general only comes for three or four months a year, and he has been fighting since he came. How dare we disturb him? After the general left, the county magistrate secretly sent someone to watch. My little tiger three years ago never came back."

At first they also thought it would be useful to go to the general, but after he was gone for good, they stopped thinking.There are also sea monsters raging along the coast, is it easy to go out?

"Little Huzi because of this?" The old man looked at the woman in shock, his stiff back slowly bent down.

The woman's expression was a little numb, and the person beside her said: "There are also people sent by the county magistrate. Every year, a person who claims to be a general takes away those who said they want to sue, and never comes back after taking them away. .”

"Is that person sick?! Is it necessary for a smooth retirement?"

He Lian Qi couldn't find any suitable words to swear at others, and he was probably the only one who could make him so angry that he ran out of words.

"Where are people? Come out!" A voice shouted from outside.

Everyone looked calm, the old man said coldly: "Well, maybe he heard the news that the general is coming, so he came to beat someone."

Helian Qi: "..."
