Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

Ye Fei was not worried about any trouble.

Because the Ye family’s cooperation last time was perfect.

When returning to the exiled group, Ye Fei saw the Ye family members who had eaten and drunk their fill coming back one after another.

They concealed their identity very well and did not arouse the suspicion of the bailiffs and other exiles.

After the last group of Ye family members came back, Ye Qingfeng shouted, "Master, we found water."

His shouting startled the escorts and other prisoners who were resting nearby.

Afterwards, Ye Fei saw the escorts rolling up from the ground.

They asked anxiously: "Where, where?"

"So many of you were coming and going just now, have you all finished drinking?"

The escorts suddenly had an idea.

They even looked at the Ye family with cannibalistic eyes.

Because they thought of the last time they looked for water.

But so many days had passed that the escorts had almost forgotten about the matter.

Ye Qingfeng still played dumb like last time and refused to admit it: "How is it possible?"

"Didn't we tell you right away?"

As he spoke, he and Wang Xiangjun and others followed the escorts to drink water.

As for the food in the cave, the Ye family had no intention of telling the brigade.

There was so much delicious food that they ate it all by themselves.

Tell the escorts that there is no way to get water because the Ye family has no water bags to store water.

It was impossible for Ye Fei to take out so many water bags from the space at once and give them to the Ye family.

The first is that it is too eye-catching.

The second is that they are worried that the escorts will target them.

However, considering the risks of crossing the plains, Ye Fei still took out a small number of water bags for the Ye family to find.

There are many people in the Ye family. Those who have water bags walk in the middle, and those who want to drink water also move to the middle.

Let other people on the periphery provide cover and block others' sight.

This is a completely feasible approach.

Now the Ye family told the escort to fetch water, hoping that they could get more water for the Ye family when they cross the plains.

In extraordinary times, something is better than nothing.

Although he had anticipated the danger of crossing the plains, Ye Fei was still frightened when he actually experienced it.

The plain was very dry, and the dry land was cracked into patterns.

And the further we go, the more serious the situation becomes.

In this situation, even the escort began to feel uneasy.

"There seems to be a house there. Let's go take a look."

One of the escorts saw the situation ahead and rode away excitedly.

But when he came back, Ye Fei found that the bailiff's face was even uglier.

She even heard the escort talking disappointedly with other companions: "No one..."

nobody?

Ye Fei had a bad feeling.

Could it be that there are usually people living in this endless plain, but now it is completely empty...

This shows what?

This means that the drought has indeed begun and the people who originally lived here have fled.

In ancient times, if there was a severe drought, it would mean death.

On the fourth day, another group of prisoners finally couldn't bear it anymore and begged for release again:

"Sir, give me some water."

"I really can't stand it anymore..."

"Just one bite, just one bite."

But the escort at this time was more stingy and ruthless than ever before:

"What water do you want to drink? Where can I get water for you to drink?"

"I didn't see you guys putting in any effort when we were looking for water."

"You are not dead yet, we will talk about it when you are about to die."

When they said these words, their eyes vaguely glanced at the people of the Ye family.

Ye Fei saw through the attempt to solve the problem at a glance.

They hope that the Ye family will go find water.

Although they looked around while riding on their horses, they couldn't see where to find water.

But they still have hope in their hearts.

Another wave of prisoners noticed the guard's gaze and suddenly rushed in front of the Ye family:

"Please, go find some water."

"You are lucky. It is easier to find water."

There were even a few fugitives who knelt directly in front of Ye Fei and said, "Little girl, go find some water!"

"I remember you."

"Last time, you guys were the ones who went looking for water first."

"You must save us. We are in the same boat."

"We really can't walk anymore. We don't have the energy to look for it."

"You...you look much better than us. Please find some water."

"Our lives and deaths are in your hands."

Ye Fei was stunned by the words of these fugitives.

brazen!

Moral kidnapping!

Bully the weak and fear the strong!

Ye Fei was originally thinking about whether he should find another opportunity to get some spiritual spring water and food for the Ye family to replenish.

In this way, the bailiffs and other fugitives could benefit from it a little.

But now after hearing what these fugitives said, Ye Fei had no idea at all.

Ye Qingyun even directly pulled Ye Fei away.

He said coldly, "Don't flatter us. Where can we find water in a place like this?"

The other fugitives were also turned away by the Ye family.

After being rejected, the begging eyes they had just used suddenly turned into extremely fierce ones as they stared at the Ye family.

Ye Fei's eyes became even colder.

But before she had time to think about it, screams suddenly rang out from the exiled crowd.

She looked in the direction of the voice and immediately felt nauseous and queasy.

Some of the prisoners even started biting each other.

They want to drink human blood!

This situation not only shocked Ye Fei, but also the escorts: "What are you doing?"

One of the prisoners wiped his bloody mouth and said in a numb and eerie voice: "We are thirsty and are quenching our thirst."

However, this extremely cruel practice seemed to be a life-saving straw for the prisoners who were suffering from the heat and thirst.

They all targeted the people around them.

This scene looks bloody and weird.

Ye Fei, Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and other people from the Ye family were all stunned.

Because he was too shocked, Ye Qingyun did not cover Ye Fei and Ye Ling's eyes as usual.

It was Ye Fei who reacted first and pressed Ye Ling into her arms.

She could clearly feel that Ye Ling was frightened by this scene.

"You actually drank human blood... You... You are useless."

"It is impossible to quench thirst with human blood."

"Drinking human blood will only make you more thirsty."

Ye Qingyun was so excited that he wanted to stop the crazy actions of the fugitives.

But it was no use; the prisoners simply wouldn't listen.

Ye Fei looked at the group of fugitives with bloody mouths and teeth, and suddenly thought of the end of the world and zombies in modern novels.

Ye Fei wanted to retch.

But someone was faster and more exaggerated than her: "Ugh..."

"Cough cough... ugh..."

A burst of retching sounds rang in Ye Fei's ears.

She discovered that not only the escorts and the Ye family members, but even the prisoners who drank human blood were retching while drinking.

Ye Fei's heart sank.

In fact, Ye Qingyun just missed the most fatal point.

Drinking human blood can cause infectious diseases.
