The apprentices who were picked up were cut in vain

"It's blooming, it's blooming!" The girl looked at Xin Xi's hand and giggled non-stop.

Xin Xi looked at the back of her hand in amazement, not knowing what these spots meant.

This situation is almost like... A terrible idea flashed in Xie Yan's mind. Could it be that there is an infectious disease in this town?The flowering that this girl sang in her nursery rhyme should be the early manifestation of an infectious disease. There will be patches of spots on her body, and then...

"When the flowers are full

When it disappears..."

Xie Yan recalled the last line of the nursery rhyme, and the alarm bells rang in his heart. He turned to the shopkeeper who was dazed at the side, and asked, "Is there any infectious disease here?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xie Yan asked this sentence, the boss pointed at Xin Xi with a face of horror and shouted, "He has a fever (Note 1)!"

Before Xie Yan could react, some diners in the store who had come to have breakfast ran out of the store one after another, and the inn was suddenly empty, leaving only the trembling shopkeeper after shouting.

"It seems that they know about it." Yun Yiyuan said coldly, "otherwise these people wouldn't be running so fast."

"Senpai, you also know that people who have the disease can only be sent to the village of the disease. Although this fairy is your friend, this is also the rule you set..." The boss said cautiously, far away from Xie Yan .

"The rules I made?" Xie Yan became more and more confused as he listened, and looked at the boss inexplicably.

"Five years ago, a plague broke out here, and the whole city was almost wiped out. It was you who passed by here and proposed the idea of ​​building a separate village for the sick, so that Lizhou gradually improved." The boss said, shaking again He shook his head and said, "But for some reason recently, this disease has slowly reappeared."

"Last night, I saw a group of people leaving the city. Did you send the patients out?" Xie Yan asked.

"It's my poor boy." The boss said in a very sad voice, "The kid who was only fifteen had freckles all over his body last night. I had no choice but to send him out overnight... "

The girl who sang the nursery rhyme laughed "giggle" when she heard this, turned around and ran out of the inn. Xie Yan subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but was blocked by officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared at the door of the inn.

"We received a report that there are patients here," the leading officer said in a polite tone, "this is also in accordance with your rules, please forgive me."

"It's the one next to him in black! It's him who has the wind!" Seeing that Xie Yan didn't respond, the innkeeper hurriedly shouted.

"It's ridiculous, do you want to do something to me?" Xin Xi said angrily, making a gesture with one hand, it seemed that she was preparing to resist.

"Wait, where are you going to take him?" Xie Yan stopped Xin Xi's next move, and asked, "What's the matter with building a village alone?"

The officer looked Xie Yan up and down, and said suspiciously, "Xie Xianren has forgotten? Wasn't Pifeng Village built under your suggestion? Send all the symptomatic patients there and separate them from the healthy people." , so as to prevent human-to-human transmission.”

Another officer and soldier looked at Xie Yan, and said in a bad tone, "We listened to Immortal Xie's words, and sent our own relatives to Pifeng Village without distinction. Why, now it's the turn of Immortal Xie's friends , are you not willing?"

There was obvious sarcasm in these words, but Xie Yan was not angry at all. Although Xie Yan was an orphan, he understood how painful it is to be separated from his loved ones. Thinking of this, he held Xin Xi's wrist and held it up for the officers and soldiers to see clearly. "No, that's what I think. I have close contact with him, and I may also have this disease. Lock me in together."

"Master!" Yun Yiyuan stared at Xie Yan with wide eyes, "Are you crazy?"

Xie Yan looked at Yun Yiyuan and winked at him quietly.

The officers and soldiers did not expect Xie Yan to do this, and no one dared to move for a while. Xie Yan saw that the officers and soldiers did not move, and laughed, "Why, are you planning to wait until night and send us away while beating the gong?"

"I'll go too." Yun Yiyuan glanced angrily at Xie Yan's hand holding Xin Xi's wrist, "I hugged my master last night, so this is considered a close contact?"

"Cough, cough, cough... Brother apprentice, you have to speak clearly, this is a big misunderstanding." Xie Yan almost choked to death on his own saliva, and quickly explained, "I was frightened last night, so I hugged you slightly. Just a moment, just a moment!"

The officer and soldier looked at Xie Yan and the three of them, with complex expressions on their faces, as if they had made up a terrible triangle drama in their brains. After a long time, they trembled and said, "How about... I will find a sedan chair for the three of you. , let’s send them in together.”

***

Xie Yan, who was admired and enjoyed star treatment yesterday, has become the source of the plague that everyone avoids today. Life is like a drama, and drama is like life!

Xie Yan sighed, and called Miss System by the way.

"Dear player, what are your needs?"

I said, you let me fall to this point, what side missions, I have to take them if I don’t want to, right?Xie Yan gritted his teeth and asked in his heart.

"Whether you accept the mission or not depends on you, the player. The system has never forced you." The system's voice sounded a little bit aggrieved.

Then you want me to just watch Xin Xi being taken away?Xie Yan is about to be pissed off, what depends on the player, it's obviously just to catch the ducks on the shelves!

"But respected player, Xin Xi is fully capable of protecting herself, there is no need for you to take action, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan was stunned, it seemed to make sense... I co-authored it, and it was my fault in the end?

"So, player, do you want to accept the side quest of "Breathing the Wind as a Disaster"?" The system took the opportunity to ask, with a hint of complacency in his tone.

Pick up!Come here!Xie Yan asked helplessly, what are the conditions for completing the task?

"This mission is A-level, you only need to appease the anger of the wronged soul, a small reminder, players can make good use of the newly learned skills." The system prompted.

What wronged soul?There are really ghosts!But speaking of new skills... the healing technique?Xie Yan slapped his forehead, how could he forget it!I really can't remember it when I don't use it!

"Xin Xi, quickly, give me your hand." Thinking of this, Xie Yan hurriedly said to Xin Xi.

"What?" Xin Xi was originally nestled in the corner of the sedan chair full of resentment, seeing Xie Yan in a hurry, she didn't know what to do, but she still passed her hand over.

I saw Xie Yan gently put his hand on the freckled part of Xin Xi, closed his eyes slightly, and didn't know what he was muttering, Xin Xi looked at Xie Yan wonderingly, but found that the freckles on the back of his hand were gradually fading .

Seeing this, Yun Yiyuan also leaned over to take a look, and saw with his own eyes that the back of Xin Xi's hand gradually became smoother and smoother, returning to a healthy appearance.

"Master... you?" Yun Yiyuan looked shocked, he never knew that Xie Yan had this ability.

"Success...success?" Xie Yan opened his eyes and looked at Xin Xi's hand, "This is also the first time for me, I didn't expect it to be possible!"

Xin Xi withdrew her hand, looked at it several times, and was sure that all the spots had really disappeared, and then said, "It's unbelievable... Although I heard that there is such a magic technique, I have never seen anyone who can treat it with bare hands without medicine. ...Brother, what have you experienced all these years?"

"You make it sound like I have experienced a lot of bad things, and I learned this by chance." Xie Yan said happily, "When there is no food in the future, with my skills, I will definitely make money by opening a medical clinic! "

"Master, since you know how to do this, why didn't you use it at the inn just now, why did you have to send us to that village..." Yun Yiyuan lifted the curtain a little, and all that came into view was desolation, and he didn't know where he was going coming.

"I want to find out what happened here." Xie Yan said, "Where were those people who showed symptoms sent? Should they be sent to isolation for treatment, or should they...fend for themselves."

"The latter is more likely." Xin Xi said, "There must be no cure for this disease."

"That sounds really cruel." Yun Yiyuan said, "Gathering patients together and waiting to die together, the resentment must be scary. If no one cares about it for a long time, the village will become a ghost village."

As soon as Yun Yiyuan finished speaking, the sedan chair stopped.

"Here we are, everyone, please get off the sedan chair." The bearer shouted from outside.

As soon as Xie Yan and his three feet touched the ground, the bearers left in a hurry, as if they were a plague.Xie Yan shook his head and said that his heart is not old, and he began to look at the surrounding environment.

This place is very remote. The weeds at the entrance of the village are as tall as two people. There is only a simple gate at the entrance of the village, which is not locked. The wind blows and creaks, making it even more desolate.

"Strange, shouldn't this place be used to lock up patients? It's not locked? Are you afraid of patients running out?" Yun Yiyuan couldn't help asking.

"Perhaps...they don't have the ability to get out of here at all." Xie Yan said, and walked in with strides.

Xin Xi and Yun Yiyuan glanced at each other, and followed Xie Yan into the room.

As soon as you enter the village, you will be greeted by a rotten stench, which is disgusting.This village is full of simple thatched houses, which cannot shelter the wind or rain, and will collapse at any time.Xie Yan endured the stench and pushed open the door of a room.

The smell in that room was a bit more terrifying than the outside, the room was extremely dark, Xie Yan squinted his eyes and looked towards the center of the room, and was instantly frightened by the scene inside the room and felt chills all over his body.

On the bed made of straw in the house, there was a person lying.But the appearance of that person has lost the characteristics of human beings, it looks like a monster!He lost half of his face, five fingers, and even the parts below the thighs, and his whole body was deformed.

Xie Yan couldn't tell whether the man was dead or alive, he just felt unwell.He took a few steps back and left the house as if fleeing.

"When the flowers are full

When it disappears..."

It was only then that Xie Yan truly understood the meaning of this nursery rhyme. This disease would gradually mutilate people's bodies, eat their bones, flesh and blood, and finally become a deformed monster, dying in pain and unwillingness.

Xie Yan began to regret accepting this task, he couldn't see it, he felt terribly sad at the moment, after traveling here for so long, this was the first time since Zhou Guangji's transformation, he wanted to cry so much.

"Have you seen it, this is what you did."

who?Who is speaking?Xie Yan looked at the source of the voice, and couldn't help being stunned.

That little girl in the morning was standing in front of Xie Yan, looking at him coldly.
