Chapter 93 Escape
Upon hearing Xin Wenyuan speak, everyone stopped in their tracks and surrounded him, not daring to move around recklessly.

Xin Wenyuan held up the ball of light in his hand and shone it forward.

It was pitch black, with only the suppressed breathing of the people around them audible.

Liang Guangxia and the others sniffed around, their expressions slightly tense. "Fourth Master, what do you smell?"

Xin Wenyuan subconsciously squeezed his mask. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but it smells pretty bad. Watch your step and be careful as you go."

About a hundred people squeezed into a square formation and waded through the water towards the village.

Suddenly, Master Chang shouted and jumped up with a "Hey!"

Everyone was startled by him, and then shouted a few times without knowing what was going on. When they looked down, they saw that it was just a few squeaking rats scurrying around.

"Second Master, what are you shouting for?" The Chang family member glared at him with resentment.

Sha Laoda and his gang chuckled and teased, "You're so scared of a few rats, you're such cowards."

"Everyone must not let their guard down." Xin Wenyuan's expression grew increasingly grave.

Most people here still wear straw sandals, and if they get bitten by snakes or insects in the water, they are likely to be infected with germs.

Given the current situation, all we can do is remind others to be extra careful.

After walking two hundred meters into the village, the group felt increasingly that something was strange and abnormal.

"Have all the villagers gone to Wan'an Prefecture too?"

Why is there no one around?

"Is anyone there?" some people called out a few times, but when there was no response, they quickly followed the group and dared not fall behind.

Xin Wenyuan's expression was solemn. Suddenly, he stopped and raised his hand.

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

"What's that on the ground?" In the pitch black ahead, with limited light, the group looked ahead following the faint glimmer of light and could only make out some blurry shadows piled up in the corner.

"Erdan, go take a look."

Honest and simple-minded Erdan shrank his neck, but under Liang Guang's repeated urging, he gritted his teeth and ran forward.

Not long after, everyone heard him scream.

Then I saw him stumble and crawl back, "Corpses, corpses, so many corpses piled up there, all with sword and knife wounds, as if they had been soaking for a long time, the bodies were turning white and rotting."

Massacre the village?

Xin Wenyuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if a cold air was rushing to the top of his head.

He had a bad feeling and turned to look at his wife and daughter.

"Let's go quickly." Xin Nian's eyes darkened, and without saying another word, she grabbed Xie Ninglan and ran.

Seeing that the leader was running forward, no one dared to hesitate and they all followed suit.

When the light moved across the area, everyone glanced over and were terrified.

Many houses in the village had their doors wide open, and corpses lay inside and outside the doors. Some had been hacked to death while trying to escape, while others had been stabbed twice in the back even after fleeing to the road. Their deaths were extremely tragic.

Someone kicked the corpse and stumbled, nearly falling into the water, but fortunately, someone in the group caught him in time.

The group stumbled and ran forward frantically.

Xin Wenyuan carried his youngest son on his back and ran wildly, waving to the crowd behind him as he ran, "Everyone, wear your masks! Don't take your masks off! Let's get out of here first."

The old lady was picked up by Zhao Xun and kept calling out while clinging to Zhao's back, "Eldest daughter-in-law! Fourth brother, fourth brother, look at your sister-in-law and the others."

Nie was so frightened that her legs trembled and went weak. She ran a few steps and then collapsed forward.

Fortunately, Xin Wanqing stayed close to her mother, half-dragging and half-pulling her along, but this meant she couldn't take care of Mei Zhuqing and Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiuyi, carrying Xin Zhe on her back, was running breathlessly. She wanted to help her younger sister-in-law, Mei Zhuqing, but she was too busy to help herself. Mei Zhuqing, holding her youngest daughter, couldn't run fast at all and was about to be left behind when a figure suddenly appeared beside the mother and daughter.

Mei Zhuqing looked up, panting, and exclaimed with delight, "Big, strong?"

He scooped Xin Man'er up in his arms and put his hand on Mei Zhuqing's waist. "Let's go."

The group hurriedly fled the village, with Xin Wenyuan holding up the ball of light and shouting, "Don't stop! Run, run, run as far as you can!"

"This village has been massacred. The corpses have been soaking in water for so long, which will breed a lot of germs! Every second we stay increases the potential danger. Hurry!"

The group, who had been somewhat relaxed, were startled by Xin Wenyuan and quickly sprinted forward again.

After everyone had fled the village, Han Li looked at him with a ghostly expression and asked, "Who did this?"

Weren't all the bandits in Hengxian arrested? How come there are still people taking advantage of the chaos to massacre the village?

Xiao Jinzhi whispered a few words of advice to Liu Huo, who nodded and turned to leave.

Zhu Yan supported his master and walked a little further before slowing down.

Han Zhao was furious. "Heartless and insane! Your Highness...Young Master Jin, we must find a way to find these people who did this!"

Xiao Jinzhi's expression was somewhat enigmatic.

He never expected the massacre of the village.

If you encounter it, you can't just ignore it.

If we can't eliminate these madmen, it will be a troublesome matter if we encounter them again in the future.

As they were speaking, several loud cries of despair came from ahead.

The days of traveling in darkness have taken a toll on many people's mental state.

At this moment, many people stood in the middle of the road shouting and venting their emotions. Some even ran away in a frenzy, ignoring the shouts of Liang Guangxia and the others.

When will this end?

"Will there be no daytime from now on?"

"I can't live like this anymore! It's so dark and gloomy every day, I'd rather just die."

Erdan, Wu Tian, ​​and the others exchanged glances, then stammered, "Boss, four people have run away. Should we chase after them?"

Liang Guang subconsciously looked at Xin Nian, who was standing next to Xin Wenyuan.

The sixth girl remained indifferent, observing coldly without uttering a word from beginning to end.

They've barely gotten to this point and they're already going crazy? If they were like them, having experienced half a year of polar night in their previous lives, wouldn't they all have to jump off buildings and cut their wrists?
"Let's go." Xin Nian pulled her mother forward, and Xin Wenyuan subconsciously followed.

Xin Mochen and the rest of the Xin family followed suit, none of them daring to utter a single word.

Even Xin Wen'an, who was always full of complaints, didn't dare to say a word. He just followed his eldest niece in silence.

Erdan asked, feeling frustrated, "Then, what about those few who ran away? Are we just going to leave them behind?"

Liang Guang secretly glanced at Sixth Sister's emotionless face, slapped Erdan on the back of the head, and scolded, "What's there to meddle with? What time is it now? Everyone has to mind their own business. Ah, everyone has to be responsible for themselves to the end."

Erdan rubbed the back of his head, which had been hit so hard, and said "Oh," before quickly following after him.

Many people hurriedly followed, except for a small number who remained where they were, crying and screaming like madmen.

But everyone followed the group and left on their own, and no one was willing to stay behind for them. Those who were crying and wailing on the spot were also panicked.

Many people quickly wiped away their tears and hurried after them, calling out in panic, "Wait for us!"

Wait for P!

Xin Nian was filled with impatience.

She wasn't in charge of the team, so she wasn't responsible for anyone else.
