Chapter 188 Patriarch Xu
Chapter 188 Patriarch Xu
Even though Patriarch Xu came to mediate, Bai Yuzhu and Li Guihua were still unconvinced!
But since he is the patriarch, we still have to give him some face.
Then the two of them pretended to listen to him and stopped, but they didn't think so in their hearts!
What they wanted was to continue the fight after Chief Xu left. Both sides gritted their teeth, and both wanted to trample the other to the ground!
However, what Patriarch Xu said next shocked them.
What happened to their faces?
The two of them hurriedly reached out to touch their faces, but when they didn't find anything unusual, they quickly went back to their rooms and found the bronze mirrors to look at themselves!
In an instant, two terrified voices came from their respective rooms.
Their originally good faces now became dark-skinned, their cheeks were fleshless, their eye sockets were deeply sunken, their eyeballs were scarlet, and disgusting yellow liquid was flowing out of them. They really looked like ghosts!
What's going on here?
Isn't this just an ordinary cough?
How could it be so serious?
The two of them stumbled out, and there were people outside talking about something.
At this time, family members from both families were unable to do anything due to coughing, and those who were lying in bed at home came out one after another!
They were about to start cursing, but at this moment they saw each other's families clearly!
Suddenly, two more shocking sounds were heard.
During this period, they spent most of their time in bed and rarely saw their family members!
But no one expected that in just five days, their family members became as thin as firewood!
Only then did they realize that there was definitely something wrong with the chicken that died that day, but it was too late to remedy the situation.
Because just now someone came to tell Chief Xu that some people had died after eating those chickens, a total of eight people had died.
Eight people died at once. It's horrifying no matter how you listen to it.
Patriarch Xu also realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly ordered people to isolate these families. However, it was too late!
By the next morning, half of the people in Xujia Village had suffered from coughing and runny nose, including the head of the Xu clan.
Patriarch Xu immediately asked someone to invite four doctors over.
But the doctors were helpless after taking a look at the disease, as they said they had never seen such a disease before.
Two days later, almost the entire Xujia Village was experiencing the same symptoms.
Some people said that this was a plague and asked Chief Xu to let those who were not infected leave Xujia Village as soon as possible and find a new shelter.
But Chief Xu disagreed: "No, especially at times like this, we must unite as one."
For a moment, the whole village was in chaos.
Many more people died that night.
They felt that they could no longer stay in Xujia Village, and regardless of the objections from Patriarch Xu, they quickly packed up their things and prepared to leave overnight.
However, at this time, Chief Xu told everyone that he would abandon Xujia Village and prepare to set off for Chongzhou City with the disaster victims who were heading north to make a living in the south.
At first, everyone was reluctant because Chongzhou City is a mountain city and the soil is so barren that even earthworms cannot survive. How can they survive there?
Chief Xu said angrily: "You can go if you want to, but forget it if you don't want to."
Those who had opinions quickly shut up. No matter where they went, it was better than staying here.
They traveled along the official road overnight, hoping to find treatment or a place to survive.
However, the journey was difficult and many of the weaker ones died within a few days of starting.
Just when they felt desperate, Lu Qingqing and others appeared in front of everyone as if falling from the sky.
Everyone looked at Lu Qingqing and the others with their rosy lips and white teeth, and they felt a hint of jealousy deep in their hearts. Why did they live like neither human nor ghost, while they lived such a colorful and smooth life?
Then, someone in the crowd quietly approached them and asked them to experience the same feeling.
However, before he could get close to them, they noticed that he had quickly run forward and soon disappeared without a trace.
They chased after them in a rage, but they never saw them again along the way.
Just when I was feeling strange, Patriarch Xu suddenly said:
"They may have gone up the mountain and passed through it."
Chief Xu wanted to send some people up the mountain to find them, but as soon as his idea came out, it was met with reactions from everyone.
Chief Xu said slowly, "I've heard from our ancestors before that to completely cure a strange disease like ours, we just need to use the blood of healthy people as a medicine guide and we will be cured. Those people just now, with their red lips and white teeth, are definitely good candidates for medicine guides."
After that, he added, "It's not mandatory to sign up voluntarily, but if we find the medicine sooner, we can be cured sooner."
As soon as Chief Xu finished speaking, many people signed up to go.
But not everyone could go, so Patriarch Xu selected a total of fifty strong men to go up the mountain to chase Lu Qingqing and others.
Lu Qingqing and others who were far away halfway up the mountain knew nothing about all this.
They were halfway up the mountain, preparing to sit down and rest for a while.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass by the roadside. Everyone felt nervous and looked in the direction of the sound vigilantly.
Suddenly, a huge wild boar rushed out from the bushes and charged straight towards them.
Lu Hu reacted quickly, pushed Lu Yaoyao to the side of Yang Liuqing, then raised the big knife in his hand and chopped at the wild boar.
Others also took up weapons and started a fierce battle with the wild boar.
The wild boar was huge and extremely hungry. When it saw Lu Qingqing and the others, it rushed over as if it didn't care about its life.
After a hard fight, several people finally killed the wild boar together. It was estimated that the wild boar weighed about two hundred kilograms, and everyone was very happy.
However, they also realized that there were many unknown dangers hidden in this mountain.
They must be more careful and cautious to reach Shuiwan City smoothly.
