Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

Chu Ruohuai cut a bloody path alone, and the officers and soldiers gradually stopped going to him and went around him to the soldiers.

The officers and soldiers rushed forward. At first, the two groups of soldiers were able to defend and attack with ease. As more and more people came, it became difficult to fight one against many.

The soldiers were outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand.

Zhou Zhengnan stood among the officers and soldiers, and laughed triumphantly. What if he killed the God-killing General? He would still fall into his hands.

Chu Ruohuai watched his soldiers fall one by one, his eyes bloodshot, and rushed towards Zhou Zhengnan, killing them one by one with his sword. If he didn't catch him, his team would be wiped out!

"Zhou Zhengnan! You'd better not fall into my hands! Otherwise, you will be unable to live or die!" Chu Ruohuai stared at Zhou Zhengnan with his black eyes like a poisonous snake locking onto its prey.

Zhou Zhengnan laughed loudly, "Chu Ruohuai, we can talk about this only if you can survive today!"

Chu Ruohuai was furious. Whenever he was about to catch him, a few more soldiers would appear.

Zhou Zhengnan crossed his arms with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Boy, how can you live when the person who told you to die?"

Damn it! Human wave tactics! There are more than a thousand people here. With more than a hundred men under my command, it is no problem to deal with officers and soldiers who have no combat experience. But why are there still officers and soldiers pouring in after such a long time?

"Zhou Zhengnan! These are not the soldiers from your county government!" Chu Ruohuai said in a positive tone.

It is impossible for the county government to send so many officers and soldiers. Who is behind him?

Zhou Zhengnan smiled bloodthirstily and said, "Guys, kill him! Whoever takes Chu Ruohuai's head will get a hundred gold coins!"

The officers and soldiers were instantly as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their eyes were red, and the officers and soldiers who were originally walking around turned around and swung their knives at Chu Ruohuai.

With dozens of people attacking, two hands could not defeat many hands. Chu Ruohuai was unable to dodge, and with a "puchi" sound, he was stabbed in the chest. The blood soaked the black robe and flowed down the corner of the clothes like water...

He turned around and chopped off the arm of the man who had wounded him, blood splattered all over his face, and he swung his knife with all his strength, speeding up. A dozen officers and soldiers around him fell to the ground one after another, and blood flowed around him like a river. It was hard to tell whether it was his, the officers', or the soldiers' blood.

Chu Ruohuai was killing people, and gradually he became dazed. It might be because he lost too much blood, or it might be because he was exhausted.

Just when Chu Ruohuai was about to fall, a melodious flute sounded, and a rustling sound came from the bushes, accompanied by a hissing sound.

The sound of the flute interrupted everyone who was fighting, and they looked around to see where the sound came from.

"Ah! There's a snake!"

"Hit the snake!"

"This snake is poisonous!"

The crowd fled in all directions, wielding knives and hacking at random, not distinguishing between friend and foe.

"What are you doing, you good-for-nothings? Why are you hitting your own people?" Zhou Zhengnan panicked and retreated while shouting, "Quick, protect me!"

It wasn't until the twisting snake appeared next to Zhou Zhengnan that he got goose bumps all over his body and shouted, "Oh my god! Where did this snake come from!"

When Chu Ruohuai heard the sound of the flute, he breathed a sigh of relief, his body softened, and he fainted.

"Run! Run!"

"what!"

The officers and soldiers in front of them had seven or eight snakes wrapped around each of them. Some of them were frightened and fainted. They didn't see the snakes behind them and didn't dare to move. Seeing Zhou Zhengnan running away in panic, they also started to run back, and half of their weapons fell.

Chu Zhiang, who was dressed in a brocade robe, saw that the officers and soldiers had almost fled. He put away his flute, dropped from the treetops, flew to Chu Ruohuai, and said anxiously: "Ruohuai? Ruohuai?" Seeing no reaction, he put his hand on his wrist and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just excessive blood loss.

Pick up Chu Ruohuai and run towards Axe Village

The remaining soldiers watched the swarm of snakes swarming in and then retreating collectively, still in shock. How could there be so many snakes on Axe Mountain? Too scary! It felt even scarier than a battlefield!

"Doctor, stop Ruohuai's bleeding!" Chu Zhiang rushed to the cave as soon as he arrived at the mountain village and shouted

He was so anxious that he didn't notice the unusual silence in Axe Village.

When I entered the cave and didn't find the imperial physician, I had to turn back to the wooden house. Only then did I discover that the door bolt was stuffed with wooden bars. I was extremely upset. Who on earth would do such a boring thing?

He was so upset that he pulled out the needles one by one, and when he was so angry, he slapped the wooden door with his palm.

With a "bang", the wooden door fell to the ground. Chu Zhiang did not stop, put Chu Ruohuai on the bed, and went directly to the kitchen to find herbs to stop the bleeding.

Su Nian'an was collecting herbs in the space, and was startled by the muffled sound, so he hurried out of the space. When he came out, he saw the broken wooden door lying alone on the ground, and his mouth twitched. Who smashed it this time?

I looked outside the door but there was still no one there, until I saw a trail of blood leading to Chu Zhiang's bed.

Is he injured? Su Nian'an thought as he walked over there.

What caught my eye was Chu Ruohuai, whose face and body were soaked in blood, lying lifeless on the bed.

Su Nian'an's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his mind went blank. Is he dead?

Su Nian'an looked at the scarlet, and his stomach began to churn. He endured the discomfort and crawled towards Chu Ruohuai to sniff his breath. He fell to the ground again. He was not dead. He took a few deep breaths and poured some spiritual spring water from the space for Chu Ruohuai to drink.

When Chu Zhiang went to the kitchen, he met Doctor Qin who was boiling medicine there.

"Master?" Doctor Qin looked much older after not seeing him for a few hours.

"Doctor Liu, what's wrong with you?" Chu Zhiang asked doubtfully.

Doctor Qin calmed down his complicated emotions and said in a deep voice: "The plague has rebounded in the village. More than ten people were diagnosed with the plague today."

"What!" Chu Zhiang couldn't believe it. He was almost recovered, so why did it relapse again? What should the adults do? "What about Guo Gai and the others?"

"That's the weird part. All the people infected with the plague have been isolated. The patients who were treated before are still getting better, but so many people have been infected by people outside all of a sudden. I'm afraid there must be another source of infection."

"Other sources of infection? Does Doctor Liu have any suspects?" Other sources of infection, could it be a frame-up by someone with ulterior motives?

"I have no clue. Those dozen people slept in different places, not in the same place. There is no way to investigate." Doctor Qin shook his head helplessly.

Chu Zhiang also fell into deep thought. The outbreak of plague in Axe Mountain was already strange. Now when it was almost cured, the plague broke out again. Moreover, the county government in Geli sent so many officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress Axe Village. Could there be some connection between the two?

Chu Zhiang boiled the medicine in the pot and took some ground herbs to the wooden house.

He really had no idea, so he waited for Ruohuai to wake up and asked if there was anything suspicious.
