Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

After the legal education speech, it was already dark and the movie started playing again.

Mu Xi was eating melon seeds that her uncle had brought from somewhere, and watching the movie with great interest.

While watching the movie, the dozen or so educated youth not far from Mu Xi were chattering non-stop and arguing from time to time. Mu Xi frowned, thinking that this group of people were so annoying. They couldn't even be quiet while watching a movie!

So he made a magic gesture and blocked out the voices of that group of educated youth.

The movie ended quickly, and the villagers were still reluctant to leave, so they discussed the plot of the movie with each other.

Mu Xi also stood up and prepared to leave. At this time, out of the corner of her eye she saw a few educated youth hurrying back from a distance.

I always feel that there is something fishy about these people, but the system didn't monitor them this time, and there was no surveillance in the village, so Mu Xi didn't know what happened. She just took a few glances and followed her uncle home.

A few days later, Mu Xi discovered that most of the villagers looked unwell. They looked sick and bloodless, as if their essence had been sucked away by goblins. There were dark circles under their eyes and their eyeballs were bloodshot.

Staying up all night together?

Or is there something you don’t know?

I just went into seclusion for a short while and haven't seen the villagers for a few days. How come the villagers have changed so much?

Mu Xi looked at it carefully a few more times, and even walked over to hold Aunt Cuihua's hand and felt her pulse, but she didn't find what the problem was. It was just that she was lacking in qi and blood, and her body was weak and needed nourishment.

Mu Xi couldn't find the cause of the illness for a while, so she went back home.

"Lingyi, go check what's going on. Have you seen this kind of illness before? I feel like this is something serious. It's impossible that all the villagers in the village are sick at the same time."

Mu Xi gave instructions to Ling Yi with concern.

"Young Master, I'll go and see what's going on!" Ling Yi became very nervous when he heard this, and immediately went to check the situation of the villagers.

Not long after, Ling Yi came back again, his face solemn, "Young Master, these villagers have been infected by a special evil spirit. This kind of thing has happened before the spiritual war happened."

Hearing this, Mu Xi frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? How could it be infected by the evil spirit? How can we solve it?"

Ling Yi heard this and said with some embarrassment, "I don't know about this either. I didn't participate in these things at the time, and later I put them aside. I need to go back and look for the scroll to see how to solve it.

As for how it is infected, I have heard of it. All you need to do is put the demonic energy into the food. After humans eat it a few times, they will be infected and eventually turn into low-level monsters without any mind."

Mu Xi was shocked when she heard this. "Then go back and find the scroll and see how to solve the problem. I will first find the murderer who cast the evil spirit on the villagers."

Ling Yi didn't say anything more after hearing this, and immediately stood up, "Young Master, I'm going to go back first, you have to be careful, I'll leave a few spiritual practitioners to protect you."

After Ling Yi finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Mu Xi.

Mu Xi planned to walk around the village to see if she could find any clues.

When I went out, I happened to see Tang Daqing. I took a look at him and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, my uncle was fine. But it was also true that I came into contact with the food at home every day, so the possibility of any problems was not high.

"Xiao Xi, where are you going?" Tang Daqing frowned slightly, looking a little worried.

"Uncle, I'm just going to walk around the village." Mu Xi replied with a smile.

"I don't know if the villagers have caught some disease recently. They are all weak. Xiaoxi, you should stay at home and don't get infected."

Tang Daqing said worriedly.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will pay attention." Mu Xi comforted him.

Seeing Mu Xi's determined look to go out and take a look, Tang Daqing did not try to stop her. He thought it was probably not an infectious disease. He was with them often, so there would be nothing wrong.

Mu Xi walked around the village and checked all the vegetables in the fields, but did not find any evil spirit. Most of the villagers were infected, but what was strange was that none of the educated youth were hurt, and the remaining villagers were all those who lived in more remote areas.

In the end, Mu Xi had no choice but to go back.

"Xiaotian, scan and see if there is any demonic energy in this village."

"Okay, sister, I'll take a look." The system quickly scanned it and found no problems.

"Sister, I can't find it. How strange!"

"How could it be that it is gone? Could it be that this evil energy is released over and over again, and it is not found now because it is not the time to release the evil energy yet?"

Mu Xi was extremely confused.

"That's possible, sister. How about I monitor this village 24 hours a day?" the system replied seriously.

Mu Xi nodded, thinking that this was also a solution.

"Uncle, I have a question for you. Is there something that the villagers use the same thing, but the educated youth use something different from us?"

Mu Xi looked at Tang Daqing hopefully.

Hearing this, Tang Daqing fell into deep thought. After a while, he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Water! Most people use the same well water, only the educated youth and a few people use their own well water. Xiaoxi, why are you asking this?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xi suddenly realized that she had not checked the well.

"It's true, sister. I found some residual demonic energy in the well. I estimate that the murderer will release the demonic energy again soon." The system said excitedly.

Mu Xi nodded when she heard that, and then smiled at Tang Daqing and said, "I didn't do anything. I just went out for a walk and found that the educated youth and we and several other families had nothing to do, so I asked out of curiosity.

And now people don’t get sick for no reason, it could be that the wells were poisoned.”

Tang Daqing's face turned grim upon hearing this, and he widened his eyes in disbelief, "How is this possible? Our village has no grudges against anyone, so how could someone poison us..."

As Tang Daqing spoke, he felt that this explanation seemed reasonable.

"Uncle, don't worry about this matter. I will ask someone to take care of it." Mu Xi said soothingly.

"Call someone? Who do you want to call? I hope it won't cause you any trouble?" Tang Daqing immediately became worried about Mu Xi when he heard that.

"It's okay. This time the poison used is not ordinary poison. Even if we call the police, it won't be a problem." Mu Xi replied.

Tang Daqing wanted to say something after hearing this, but then he thought of something and changed the subject, "Then be careful, remember to tell me if anything happens."

"Okay, I understand." Mu Xi said and started to help prepare dinner for tonight.

As night fell, Mu Xi found a place to meditate with great energy, preparing to catch the murderer who released the evil spirit.

It was a dark night with a cold wind blowing. All around was very quiet except for the occasional chirping of insects. A few furtive figures crept to the public well.

"Sister, here they come. The person who released the evil spirit has appeared." The crisp voice of the system came into Mu Xi's ears. After hearing this, Mu Xi immediately stood up and flew over, casually performing an invisibility gesture.

"Hurry up and throw it. Just a few more throws and the mission will be completed. We can also leave this damn place." A female voice urged.

"Do we really want to continue voting? The villagers all look sick today, I hope no one will die!" A male voice sounded a little worried.

"Isn't it said that this will only make people sick? It's okay, get off quickly, don't hesitate." Another sharp female voice sounded.

"Yeah, it's so nagging. I have to finish my work early and go to bed early. I've been doing this for several nights in a row. I'm almost dying of exhaustion." Another person also complained.

Soon, one of them exhaled a black gas from his mouth and threw it into the well.
