Chapter 928 Hidden secrets

Everyone followed along, walking up the bluestone steps to the top of the mountain. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw the top of the mountain. It was just as Changqing had expected, a small clan temple. It was unknown when the building was built, and the stone walls were full of traces of time.

The townspeople seemed to have great respect for the temple and they all built shacks far away. Due to the continuous rain, a foul smell came from the shacks.

The noble air of Changqing and his friends, who were dressed in fine clothes, formed a sharp contrast with the longing and cold gazes of the ragged townspeople in the shacks.

As the mountain wind blew from high above, there were continuous violent coughing sounds, and it seemed that many people had caught a cold in this heavy rain.

There was no smoke rising from the air, only the foul smell of decay and evil.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" The child's voice was like a key, and everyone's words came like a tide.

"Mayor, is there any food?"

"Mayor, please take a look at my child. He's terribly burned."

"..."

"..."

A chaotic cacophony of voices anxiously inquired. Thousands of people, hidden in hundreds of shacks, looked at the man and asked anxiously. As for Changqing and the others, they sighed.

The man looked at them awkwardly and smiled awkwardly: "These are travelers passing by. They helped us bury the bodies and brought them up to rest."

The disappointed voices suddenly merged into one, and the light in their eyes quickly dissipated.

"Mayor, please give me more broth, my child really can't hold on any longer!" A thin woman fell to the ground with a thud, begging by grabbing the man's trouser legs.

"Mrs. Gui, you've seen it too. The food we brought up wasn't much to begin with, and there isn't much left these days." The man glanced at Changqing and the others inconspicuously, then withdrew his gaze, looking quite embarrassed.

Xie Xinyu was about to reach into her storage ring to get some food, but Chang Qing stopped her. He pulled out a few pancakes wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and handed them to the woman, "Mayor, I have a few pancakes here. Whoever is struggling can share some."

"Thank you, benefactor!" The woman was stunned for a moment, looking at the cake in astonishment. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She hurriedly took it, said a few words of gratitude while crying, and ran in the mud to a shack not far away. There, a child with sunken cheeks was mumbling in a daze.

When everyone saw that there was food, they swarmed over and quickly handed the remaining pancakes in their hands to the man next to them. Changqing broke free and gave everyone a look.

The pancakes were eaten up in just a moment. Countless green eyes looked at Changqing and the others. In an instant, they felt a chill on their backs and their hair stood on end. To Yun Qinghan and the others, these townspeople did not seem like human beings, but rather like hungry wolves that had seen some rare delicacy.

Changqing nodded slightly, and several people quickly took out the pancakes in their arms and distributed them, but there were only a dozen pancakes at most, so how useful could they be?

Seeing this, the man quickly dispersed the restless townspeople, apologized, and explained, "The flash flood came suddenly, leaving us with little time to react. We later found hundreds of pounds of food in the surviving houses, but... how could that little food be enough to feed thousands of people? We've been out of food for days. God, why would you let us suffer this hardship?"

There was still some hope in the man's eyes. Although he could not sense the fluctuation of spiritual power in these people, he still felt that they were different from ordinary people, and he regarded them as his last life-saving straw.

"Is that so? It's fate!" Changqing also met the man's gaze and sighed.

The man quickly turned his head away again. He felt that when he met the young man in black in front of him, for some reason, he always felt that the other party could see through his thoughts, which was very scary.

Changqing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the lush woods and the dark areas in all directions. He sneered in his heart and looked at Yun Qinghan, Ling Yu, Zhong Baixuan and Jie Xinyu who were around him and looked like they wanted to help. He sighed in his heart.

Since this is the case, let them experience it truly.

"Town Mayor Tian, ​​my family is a pharmacist. We have a kind of medicine called Bigu Pills, which are mostly purchased by martial artists. Taking one pill is enough to last for ten days. It is very effective for relieving hunger. After a few days, there may be a turn for the better."

The man hesitated for a moment, then was overjoyed: "Then I'll trouble you, little brother!"

"Then I'll go down the mountain. There should be some herbs in the caravan. We'll be back soon!" Chang Qing turned and went down the mountain, and the others quickly followed.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Xie Xinyu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, we clearly still have a lot of supplies in our storage space, enough for these people to have a full meal. Why are you..."

"Shh, I'll show you a good show today. Watch more and talk less." Chang Qing smiled, his eyes unconsciously tilted to the mountain road in the rain behind him.

They looked at Changqing's back in confusion. They didn't think Changqing would stand by and watch someone die, but his behavior today was very confusing.

At the caravan, the escorts were instinctively wary of the sudden appearance of several people. It wasn't until the young man stepped forward that the atmosphere relaxed. "Brother, do you want to leave? I'm afraid we need to wait a day until enough water accumulates in this flooded area and flows downstream. Then perhaps it will be possible."

"Brother, you misunderstood. I came here to buy some medicinal herbs. There are thousands of starving people in the mountains. I want to make fasting pills to alleviate the emergency. My junior sister is proficient in pharmacology and can also prevent the spread of the plague. I wonder if I can discuss this with you, brother?" Changqing asked with a fist salute.

"Brother, can you make fasting pills?" the young man asked in surprise, but soon he seemed to remember something, pulled Changqing aside, and his voice became very low.

"Brother, didn't you hear me clearly just now? Here..." The young man was obviously anxious and wanted to persuade him again, but Chang Qing interrupted him: "I hope you can help me. The people on the mountain can't be delayed any longer."

The young man was slightly stunned. Seeing that the other party did not seem to understand, he took a deep breath, nodded, and did not continue to persuade him.

Chang Qing opened a bag in his arms, and a dazzling radiance unabashedly illuminated the suddenly changing mist and rain. It was a radiance unique to spirit crystals. The bag in his hand contained dozens of crystals. "I wonder if these are enough?"

The glittering spirit crystals stung his eyes, and the young man was stunned for a moment. There were so many spirit crystals, all of excellent quality, enough to buy his caravan. The black-clothed man in front of him took them out without hesitation. Suddenly, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. The young man hurriedly waved his hand and said to Changqing, "No, no, these are too precious. These are just ordinary spirit herbs. How can we use so many of them?"

The young man picked out two spirit crystals of average quality. These two spirit crystals could be exchanged for thousands of taels of gold in the Central Region. Even if he discarded the ore and metal in the car, he could still make some money.

Changqing and his companions picked some useful herbs and walked towards the mountain with a large package.

The young man looked at the figure disappearing into the forest, slightly stunned: "Is he hiding his strength? The mountain might be very lively tonight."

He turned around and put the spirit crystal in his hand close to his body, but then he became suspicious: "That guy in black and that guy in blue look familiar, is it an illusion?..."
