The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Chapter 159: Ghost Town Ning County

The sky finally brightened, and Cheng Yiyu and his group collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. Oh my god, it was too horrible. He would never be able to look directly at a dilapidated temple again!

Even if you beat him to death, he would never spend the night in the wild!

When the noise outside finally died down, he finally had the chance to look up at the person in front of him. What a face!

His face was covered with blue veins, and he looked at them with pleading eyes: "Please, kill me!"

He was tied up tightly by Cheng Yiyu and his companions and couldn't move. Last night, when he chased a woman in and wanted to kill her, Cheng Yiyu and his companions appeared and saved the woman's life, and also saved his life!

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Yiyu squatted down and looked at the man and asked.

"I... I don't know. Ever since we drank the tea from the tea stall outside the city, more than 20 of us men have become like this!" The man's eyes turned red with anxiety as he thought about it.

"Be careful," Murong Zi directly pulled Cheng Yiyu and then dodged the man's attack.

Cheng Yiyu dodged the man's attack, and then the man was hugged by a woman's waist, who shouted loudly: "Brother Daniu, Brother Daniu, it's me!"

Li Daniu really couldn't control himself, and pushed the woman out. Although he controlled his strength, he still hurt the woman!

"Fang Niang, don't come over here, don't come over here! Sir, Sir, please tie me up with chains, I really can't control myself!

My Lord, my Lord, please help me!" Li Daniu knocked his head loudly. He didn't want to commit suicide. He still had Fang Niang. Fang Niang only had him!

"Someone, come quickly, tie him up!" Cheng Yiyu pointed to the iron chain on the carriage next to him, which was used to prevent the wheels from slipping when it snowed heavily.

"Yes, sir!" Cheng Yi and others next to them started to take action, and the man was also trying his best to control himself, so the process went surprisingly smoothly!

"Second brother, second brother, you are finally here!" When Cheng Zhiwu woke up in the morning, he heard that someone had spent the night in the dilapidated temple. He was very impressed!

Later he thought, maybe he forgot to tell his second brother not to enter Ning County at night when he asked for help!

"Cheng Zhiwu, you're a jerk! I almost died here!" Cheng Yiyu was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.

As a result, seeing that Cheng Zhiwu had become so thin that he was unrecognizable, he couldn't bear to let him go, so he just hugged Cheng Zhiwu in his arms.

“Second brother, second brother! I…” Cheng Zhiwu had a lot to say, but when the words came to his lips, only a string of sobs came out.

Murong Zi asked everyone below to leave the dilapidated temple and give the two brothers some private space!

She could understand Cheng Zhiwu's feelings. If her elder brother was here at this moment, she would definitely cry her heart out, even though her elder brother was only a few hours older than her!

"Princess, don't look!" Xiuzhu covered her eyes with one hand and raised the other hand to cover Murong Zi's eyes!

"It's okay, Xiuzhu, don't be nervous! How would I know what happened to them if I didn't look?" Murong Zi thought of the masks Cheng Yu gave her, and gave one to everyone.

Seeing Murong Zi putting it on, everyone followed suit and put on masks!

At this time, Murong Zi finally discovered the weakness of those people. They couldn't bask in the sun. Once they did, pain started to surge in their bodies, and then...

"Be careful! Be careful! Step back and don't get touched by these bugs!" Murong Zi pulled up the maid and guard next to him!

They watched in horror as the bugs crawled out of the people's bodies, and then the bugs were dried into ashes, while the people simply died from excessive weakness!

"Can you...can you eat something?" Murong Zi walked up to the man who was tied up tightly.

"He can't eat anything! It's been three days since he became like this, and he hasn't eaten anything!" said Fang Niang next to him.

"Find a way to get him something to eat. There is a way to get rid of these worms, but once the worms come out of their bodies, they won't be able to withstand it!" Murong Zi said, pointing at the people outside.

"Your Highness, the people outside are gone, please come out and take a look!" Murong Zi brought a doctor with her, and when the doctor found that the people outside had stopped breathing, he immediately said to Murong Zi.

"What? Find something to cover the person inside and don't let him be exposed to the sun!" Murong Zi immediately ran out and gave instructions to Xiuzhu and the others.

Xiuzhu roughly pulled over a rag and covered Li Daniu with it!

"So, as soon as the sun came out, the insects flew out and turned into ashes?" Cheng Yiyu looked at the corpses lying all over the place. They didn't kill them yesterday.

Then the cause of death must be related to this little bug!

When Ning Qi saw that Cheng Yiyu and the others had such a good relationship, he immediately wanted to escape. He stuck to the wall and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible!

"Catch him!" Cheng Yiyu looked up and saw Ning Qi's funny actions, and immediately pointed at him and said.

"Sir, sir, I am an ordinary citizen!" Ning Qi struggled desperately!

He really hadn't done anything bad. He just thought Murong Zi looked familiar, and wanted to send them to the Xin Guo Mansion where the pills were refined.

If the Mansion of the Duke of Xin offends these powerful people, will the Mansion of the Duke of Xin still have a good life?

"I'll give you a chance!" Murong Zi said to Ning Qi!

"Princess, Princess! I will never, ever hurt you! I just, I just want to avenge my mother!" Ning Qi said with tears and snot.

"Then tell us what's going on. Don't say you don't know. You must know!" Murong Zi said directly and affirmatively.

She didn't want to know Ning Qi's secret, but Ning Qi must know something about the affairs of Ning County!

"I am indeed not Ning Qi, I am from the Li family of Duke Xin's Mansion, and I am the illegitimate son of Duke Xin.

These people outside must have been poisoned by a Gu. Once the Gu leaves the host's body, the last bit of life will be sucked away by the Gu!

There is something wrong with that woman in the backyard of the Xin Guogong Mansion. The Gu she wants to refine is the puppet Gu, and these are just her failed products!" Ning Qi continued.

His mother was originally a beautiful female doctor in Ning County. She was the person he spotted when he passed by Xinguo Highway here!

Later, by some accident, his mother saved Duke Xin, but Duke Xin turned against her by wiping out his grandfather's family and abducting his mother to the backyard!

He didn't understand when he was a child, but later he found out that what Duke Xin wanted from the beginning was the Ning family's poison-making technique, so he took great pains to get close to his mother!

When his mother found out about this, she became depressed and passed away!

"Is there any way to get rid of these poisonous insects directly?" Murong Zi pointed at Li Daniu in the corner!

"Yes, but we have to do it at night, and it's very inefficient!" It's not that Ning Qi hasn't tried, but he failed, especially since some of his men were among the people who were poisoned!

"Inefficient?" Murong Zi suddenly thought of asking her sister-in-law for help. She wondered if there was any solution in her little head!

"You study the folk remedy first, we'll wait a little longer!" Murong Zi looked at the location of Tao County. When will her sister-in-law come?

"Let's pile those people up and cremate them on the spot!" Cheng Yiyu said while hugging his wife.

"Yes, Prince Consort, Your Highness the Princess!" Cheng Yi put on a mask and brought people to deal with the person!

"Brother, these people must have been poisoned. They come out at night and there are fewer and fewer people active during the day!

No wonder when I first arrived, I heard them say that Ning County was a ghost town!" Cheng Zhiwu immediately added.

At that time, he said that he wanted to come to Ning County to be the county magistrate, and many people laughed at him. Now it seems that he is really a joke!

"Alas, God has bestowed upon this man an important mission. Come on, Ning County is in such chaos, why don't you run away?" Cheng Yiyu asked a little curiously. After all, he was only a teenager and it was normal for him to be afraid!

"Second brother, Ning County has become like this, and the people are not running away. As the people's father and mother, I cannot abandon the people!" Cheng Zhiwu said immediately. It is difficult to move to one's hometown. As long as there is a living person in Ning County, he will have to stay in Ning County!

"Brother Yu, Zhiwu has grown up!" Murong Zi next to him was shocked by Cheng Zhiwu's words. Her brother-in-law has grown up!

"Yes, Xiaoliu has grown up!" Cheng Yiyu patted Cheng Zhiwu's shoulder in appreciation. Why did he feel like his daughter had grown up?

Hmm? Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Go check on those people!

"Princess, sir, these people must have been poisoned by a poison! Who could be so vicious as to test the poison on living people?" said the doctor next to them after looking at all the corpses. He turned and entered the dilapidated temple and went to see the man wrapped in rags.

"I don't know, but since this could be done in Huzhou, do you think Governor Li doesn't know about it? What about Li Rong?" Cheng Yiyu thought about it and finally remembered the woman.

"Sir, after we left, Li Rong stayed for one night and then ran away. He must have gone back to report the news!" said the secret guard next to him, referring to the message their brothers had sent them.

It was said that the young prince played tricks and frightened Li Rong into insanity, and the young princess also got a lot of information out of her!

The palace should be prepared now!

"Your Majesty, do you think the old lady of Duke Xin has a problem with her brain? You two have no relationship with each other, and yet she is giving you things without permission..." The head palace maid Xiuhe said, holding the box.

"Call Doctor Shen up, put the box on the stove, and then put some charcoal under the box!" Nangong Li thought for a while, took out the mask, and said to Xiuhe.

"Yes, your majesty!" Xiuhe responded, and went out to arrange for people to do the work separately.

After a while, everyone was there, even Murong Qian came!

Xiuhe was afraid of things flying around, so she brought an iron cover, which really helped!

The charcoal fire was a little warm, which made the poisonous insects in the pills stir, and some of them had already crawled out!

Then they fell on the charcoal fire, making a "sizzling" sound! Some of them wanted to fly out, but were covered by the cover, and were directly dried by the high temperature, and fell on the charcoal fire, making a burnt smell!

"How outrageous! How outrageous! Does the old lady from Duke Xin's Mansion really think that this is her country?" Murong Qian's scalp tingled at what he saw!

After receiving a letter from Murong Zi via carrier pigeon two days later, he was furious and wanted to skin Miao Xiu alive!

At this time, Nangong Li comforted him: "Your Majesty, you can't ruin everyone's big plan. Now that we know about this, let the secret guards check immediately to see how many people have been poisoned by the Xin Guogong Mansion!"

"Okay!" Murong Qian said gritting his teeth.

"What? Do we have any relationship with Duke Ta-Shin's Mansion?" Murong Xue'er also received a box, which contained some beauty beads!

The temptation is not great, because these things in their Prince Yu's Mansion were sent to her and her mother by Cheng Yu's fourth sister-in-law. They are very effective, so who would be willing to use them?

"Princess Bing, no, the Duke of Xin's Mansion has never had any friendship with us!" Nanny Tian said while holding the box.

"Then just burn it. Xiao Yuer said that if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!" Murong Xueer said, pointing at the burning barrel in front of her.

That’s how it is in the Northwest, it gets cold early and they have to start making fire!

Nanny Tian stepped forward and poured all the pills directly into the bucket!

After a while, there was a crackling sound from the bucket, as well as the smell of burning insect corpses.

Another poisonous insect tried its best to fly out, but because the temperature was too high, it fell to the ground as soon as it flew out. The female doctor beside Murong Xueer was quick and pinned it to the ground with a silver needle!

"Gu? This is the first time I've seen a live Gu!" The female doctor exclaimed, but she saw her own princess running towards the princess's yard!

As night fell, Ning County began to enter a state of death again. Every household closed its doors and windows, and there was not even a night watchman.

On the second floor of the restaurant next to the county government office, Cheng Yiyu and his group looked at the "people" wandering on the street and fell into deep thought!

Ning County can't hold out for much longer, especially since these people are like zombies, knocking on doors and jumping on people...

Cheng Yiyu looked at Ning Qi who was helping Li Daniu deal with the poisonous insects not far away. Although Ning Qi's method was good, it could only treat a few people at a time. There were so many people on the street, what should he do?

"Brother Yu, we can only wait for my sister to come!" Murong Zi is now used to looking for Cheng Yu when there is something important: "By the way, have you told my sister not to go to Ning County at night?"

"I...I thought you said it!" Cheng Yiyu thought about the letter he wrote, he didn't say it!

"Oh no! I didn't say anything!"

It’s over. Where is my sister? Should they go out to look for her now?

But there were thousands of people wandering outside, and they were torn to pieces before they even left the county government office!
