81. Say goodbye without saying goodbye
"Why are there all coarse grains? You don't even eat pigs and dogs for us to eat, hum!" Jiang Shaoling picked up a piece of corn, frowned, and a little disgusting appeared on his white face.
Ye Ang comforted, "Junior Brother Jiang, don't be too picky. This place is not in front of the village or the shop behind the back. It's good to have this kind of thing to eat. Where can I get some delicious food for you! Just go and get it. When you arrive at Longyanggang, you will have any delicacies!"
Jiang Yue'er carefully picked up a piece of baked potatoes and said curiously: "What is this? It's black and smeared, it looks so dirty!"
"That's potatoes. They taste the same as the potatoes we eat. They taste good. You can try it! Senior sister, do you want to have a piece?" Ye Ang grabbed a piece of sweet potato and ate it with great flavor. He asked Murong Ziyun again.
Murong Ziyun glanced, frowned, and said lightly: "I'm not hungry, you can eat!"
Jiang Yue'er said unhappily: "It's dirty. If it's shredded potatoes, I can still eat it, but I can't eat this kind of coarse grain. It's almost the same for feeding pigs. It's so embarrassing!"
Lu Chen talked less, so he picked up a piece of sweet potato and ate it. He didn't feel any embarrassment. He had never experienced anything during the training with his master Yao Chi. He even nibbled the roots of trees and ants and mice. This kind of coarse grain that was born and raised was already a delicious dish for him.
After eating and drinking, the five of them sat cross-legged by the campfire and meditated and regulated their breathing to accumulate strength. After all, they didn’t know what was going on when they arrived at Longyanggang, and it was the most important thing to keep their energy.
It was late at night and the door of the black wooden house was gently pushed open.
Ye Ang was the first to open his eyes and turned to look towards the door. The old woman's cold eyes were staring at him.
There was a doubt flashing in Ye Ang's eyes. Then he stood up, walked gently towards the door of the wooden house, and whispered to the old woman for a while. He turned around and glanced at Lu Chen and the other two, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out of the wooden house.
After the wooden house door was closed, Ye Ang never came back.
It was not until dawn that the four of them woke up from meditation.
"Hey, where is Ye Ang!" One person missing in the room instantly aroused the vigilance of the four people. Jiang Yue'er was the first to find that no one was missing, because Ye Ang sat next to him last night.
"Later night last night, that old woman came!" Lu Chen said in a deep voice. Last night, the old woman gently pushed open the door. Lu Chen noticed it immediately, but he didn't say anything.
Murong Ziyun looked surprised: "What are she going to do?"
"I don't know, I just saw Ye Ang go out and talk to the old woman for a while, then go out and never come back!" Lu Chen said truthfully. The old woman was obviously just an ordinary village woman with no breath at all. As an elite disciple of the Sword Sect, Ye Ang has reached the peak of the eighth level. Can't even deal with an old woman? So, he didn't take it seriously.
Jiang Shaoling stretched and said, "I guess he had eaten too much dry food and had a stomachache!"
"Why is it okay after Lu Chen ate?" Jiang Yue'er said in confusion.
Jiang Shaoling glanced at Lu Chen and mocked: "I was born with mud legs and grew up eating such coarse grains. We can compare with him!"
Murong Ziyun's expression turned cold: "Say a few less words, everyone will find Ye Ang first!"
Crooked, just then, the wooden door was pushed open again, and the old woman walked in with hunched back and struggled to do her best: "Everyone, the little guy named Ye Ang just now left in advance, he asked the old woman to bring you a word!"
Murong Ziyun stepped forward a few steps and asked softly, "Old lady, what did Ye Ang say before leaving?"
"He said that he had discovered the traces of the drought, and he would take the lead and let you meet in Longyanggang!" The old woman said hoarsely, and there was no expression on her wrinkled face.
"Discovering traces of drought?" Everyone was shocked.
Murong Ziyun thought for a moment and said without hesitation: "No need to delay, let's go quickly, something big happens!" After that, she took the lead in walking out of the black wooden house. Seeing this, Jiang Shaoling and Jiang Yue'er hurriedly followed.
Lu Chen also followed, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the old woman, and his eyes flashed with confusion. I wonder if it was an illusion, but the old woman seemed to smile sinisterly.
"Is it an illusion?" Lu Chen said in his heart.
The group of four walked out of the black wooden house, turned over the horse, and immediately set off for Longyanggang.
In the early morning, the strange fog quietly dissipated, the rain stopped, and the journey became much more convenient.
"Go.Go.Go...!"
Murong Ziyun urged the horse under her crotch to run wildly, facing the wind, wearing a hat on her head, a light green robe roar roar roar in her hand, holding an exquisite flowing shadow sword. From a distance, she looked like a knight in the martial arts world, running in the woods with a unique charm.
"Senior Sister, wait for us!" Jiang Yue'er shouted anxiously from behind.
Murong Ziyun didn't look back and said, "I can't wait. Ye Ang must have discovered something, otherwise he would have run out without even saying hello!"
"Ye Ang is so stupid. I agreed before coming, everyone should take action together. Who would have thought that he would leave us behind and act in advance, so he would not want to be the leader!" Jiang Shaoling complained.
Jiang Yue'er rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, don't always judge a gentleman by his villain's heart. Senior Brother Ye Ang is not as petty as you!"
"Hey, Yue'er, why are you talking to your elder brother?" Jiang Shaoling said with a glaring eyes. His sister's attitude of speaking made him very dissatisfied.
Lu Chen followed behind without saying a word, frowned, always feeling something was wrong in front and behind.
One hour later, the group of four finally arrived at Longyanggang.
However, the scene that caught the eye surprised several people.
At the entrance of the town, there was a plaque with three big characters "Longyanggang" written on it. I don't know what external force has destroyed it and collapsed on one side. It was cracked on it, only the corner of the word "Long" was intact. The rest were already dilapidated, with gravel all around the ground, which was extremely messy.
"This is Longyanggang. What's wrong?" Jiang Shaoling looked at the scene in surprise, looking confused.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Murong Ziyun turned over and got off the horse, not caring about so many questions, and led the green-maned horse and slowly walked into Longyanggang.
Lu Chen, Jiang Shaoling and others followed him in without hesitation.
However, after walking into Longyanggang, they were surprised to find that Longyanggang seemed to have been looted by bandits. There were no one on the street, and the houses around them were also incomplete. On both sides of the street were covered with dustpans and silk and other daily necessities that were blown by the wind, which looked extremely bleak.
The autumn wind was blowing on the street, and bamboo poles and wheeled wooden carts were scattered around the ground, and the dilapidated wooden windows were slapped hard, as if silently mocking everyone, and were full of life.
There are nearly 400 families living in Longyanggang. On weekdays, the town is full of laughter and people. However, it is like entering a ghost town. Not to mention the figure, even a domestic animal was not seen. It is really strange. Murong Ziyun and her group were more cautious when they saw this situation.
If something goes wrong, you will become a demon!
"Sister Sister, we are surrounded!" Lu Chen suddenly said.
Murong Ziyun was shocked when she heard this and looked around quickly. She realized that at some point many people appeared on the streets and alleys. They were holding wooden sticks, pig-killing knives, shoulder poles and other equipment approaching them step by step. They looked at them full of hatred and murderous aura in their eyes. Their abnormal behavior made people feel extremely strange.
"They are zombies, kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
I don’t know who shouted, and the whole street started to shout and killing sounded. The strange atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Murong Ziyun and her group were all shocked.
These people knew at a glance that they were the people of Longyanggang. While surrounding Lu Chen and others, they pressed step by step, shouting constantly: "Kill them and avenge the people of Longyanggang!" For a moment, the sound of killing in the center of the street was shocked.
Jiang Shaoling and Jiang Yue'er hurriedly approached Murong Ziyun and said repeatedly: "Senior Sister, what should I do?"
"Don't act rashly, these people are residents of the town!" Murong Ziyun held the Liuying Sword tightly and looked around with a cold expression, ready to start a massacre at any time.
After these people surrounded Murong Ziyun and his group, a thin and thin old man in green walked out of the crowd. He shouted in a low voice: "What are you? Who asked you to come to Longyanggang!"
Murong Ziyun stepped forward and clasped her fists and said, "We are disciples of Liuyun Sword Sect, here to deal with the trouble. I hope all villagers will calm down!"
"You said you were from Liuyun Sword Sect, there is a proof!" The old man in green looked surprised in his eyes and he quickly asked.
Murong Ziyun hesitated for a while, then took out a jade-colored sword sect token from her arms and threw it to the other party.
The old man in green caught it and looked at it, his eyes lit up instantly, and his expression suddenly became respectful: "It turns out that they are all the masters of the Sword Sect. I offend you all, please forgive me!"
Then, the old man in green turned around and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, please put down the guys in your hands. They are people sent by the Sword Sect, and they are here to help our Longyanggang eliminate the drought! "
"Really? That's great!"
"Are you finally here?"
"Longyanggang is saved!" When the people learned that Lu Chen and his group were all excited, their expressions could not hide their joy.
The old man in green comforted the excited emotions of the people, and then said to Murong Ziyun: "Old Liu Feng is the mayor of Longyanggang. Welcome to Longyanggang!"
Jiang Shaoling, who was standing beside him, said angrily: "You rural villagers, welcome guests just like that!"
Liu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Dear Masters, I really don't know anything! It's purely a misunderstanding. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the drought bar for being too fierce, and the people have no choice but to do so!"
"Is there really a dry bait causing trouble in Longyanggang?" Murong Ziyun said solemnly.
Liu Feng nodded and said with a sad look on his face: "This is true, otherwise, the good Longyanggang would not have ended in such a miserable situation!"
"What the hell is going on? Tell me the truth!" Murong Ziyun showed the aura of a superior and said seriously.
