I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down
Chapter 18: Unexplored
When Lin Chen walked into the woods, he felt that the air around him became fresher, and the smoke from the cooking in each household was also very fragrant.
Lin Chen thought that he had to say hello to these people, so he took the initiative to walk into the small town, but found that everyone was locked up and no door was open.
Lin Chen couldn't help but wonder, isn't this a famine?
Why does it feel like there are Japanese soldiers crossing the street? Why is there no one here?
Lin Chen felt very confused, but he couldn't figure out what these people were avoiding.
Moreover, there should be officials in the entire court who distributed disaster relief food to these people.
Why does this place seem to be unattended? Even though Lin Chen doesn’t know the reason, he just wants to know who is managing the livelihood of this place?
Why did such a big change happen, but no one was in charge?
So thinking this, Lin Chen walked into a house and knocked on the door gently, but no one answered him.
Lin Chen couldn't help but feel strange. Is there no one there at this moment?
Even though he thought so, he still walked in. He saw a pile of dead grass and people gnawing on tree bark. The old man was gnawing on the bark with his eyes blurred. When he saw Lin Chen coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Who are you? Are you here to bring me food?"
Lin Chen was also baffled. Why did these people want to give him food as soon as they saw him? However, Lin Chen was not a stingy person. He immediately took out a few pieces of bread from his bag and gave them to them: "You guys eat first. I don't have much bread here. But can you tell me, Auntie, what's going on in your village? Why are you staying indoors? So many people are without food, why is no one doing anything?"
Despite her thoughts, the old lady still answered Lin Chen, "It's because no one comes to our town that it's become so desolate. And don't you notice how empty the whole town is? This town used to be so bustling with people coming and going, but now it's so deserted."
But Lin Chen also wanted to know the reason, so he continued to ask, "But what happened here, Auntie? Is there no salt or no food? Why did it happen so suddenly?"
As Lin Chen said this, he glanced around, but all he saw was dust accumulated on the walls and ceiling, and vines crawling over the walls and covering them. There was no place that seemed to be full of life, so Lin Chen felt that this place was about to disappear.
Even people's energy and spirit have been exhausted.
Lin Chen also knew that there were many people living in this town, but they all moved away because of sudden changes, right?
The old lady nodded and then shook her head. "Not really, that's true. Many people have indeed moved away, but there are still many who are afraid of the light outside and dare not come out."
"Afraid of light," Lin Chen said puzzledly, "Are you afraid of the sun? It's not something you can't see in the light of day, so why can't you look at the light outside?"
Lin Chen said puzzledly, "Could it be that they have some disease?"
The woman sighed and slowly recounted her experiences. "You don't know, but everyone in this town used to be very healthy. But because we had no salt to eat, and the salt merchants sold it at a very high price, we couldn't afford it. So, gradually, we all ate poorly and became sick. We developed a disease that makes us unable to see the sun. We get dizzy when we see it, so everyone stayed in their homes and didn't dare to come out."
Lin Chen had also thought about these questions, but he got the disease because he didn't eat salt.
It is true that not eating salt will cause problems, but what Lin Chen is puzzled about is why the old lady is here alone?
He couldn't help but ask, "Where are your relatives? Are you the only one here?"
The old lady shed tears and said very sadly: "My family members have all passed away. Now I am the only old woman left in this world. I really wish I could die in their place, but there is nothing I can do. I have no food to eat and no money to eat. I can only wait to die."
Lin Chen also understood the old lady's feelings. He knew that the old lady became so strange because her family was not around and she was unable to support herself.
But Lin Chen also smiled and said, "Auntie, I am here to save you. Come with me and I will take you to get treatment."
As he spoke, Lin Chen opened his portable system, took out the healing potion and some food and gave them to the old lady. "Here is a bag of rice and a bag of salt. Eat all of this. I'll feed you the potion, and you'll get better slowly."
Lin Chen really wanted to help this old lady. After all, the people in this town were too pitiful. Not only were they not treated well, but the court also didn't care about them. They were left here to fend for themselves. If Lin Chen hadn't come, wouldn't all these people have died?
Lin Chen felt compassion in his heart. He felt that this energy was full of resentment, and the entire town was covered with dark energy, as if evil creatures were invading.
However, it is still not certain whether it is an evil thing or the presence of black gas. Lin Chen knows that it is a natural situation caused by the changes here, which has attracted these negative energy things. However, there is nothing he can do. This place is indeed too remote and the court generally cannot see it. Few people in this town will contact people outside, so this situation has arisen.
Although some people fled and went to other places.
But those who stayed here were in agony.
Lin Chen knew that if he didn't do something, the old lady would die, and everyone else in the town would die.
So he thought about it and made a decision. He helped the old lady up and took her to the door of the system space. He gave the potion to the old lady to drink. The old lady's face instantly became a little rosier, and she was even able to look up to see the light outside.
At this moment, the old lady looked at Lin Chen with great gratitude, "Thank you so much, young man. If you hadn't saved me, I, an old woman, would have died long ago."
"But I really want to die. My family is gone, and I, an old woman, am still living in this world. It's so miserable."
Listening to the old lady's complaints, Lin Chen felt very uncomfortable. He comforted her and said, "Don't be too sad. There is always hope as long as people are alive. Although they are gone, they will be happy if you live well, right?"
"Auntie, besides, I'm here. From now on, I'll save the people in this town, and you can stay with them, okay?"
Lin Chen's earnest voice was very gentle and powerful to the ears of the listeners.
The old lady stopped crying and just raised her head, with a firm look in her eyes, she said, "That's good, that's good. As long as there are people around, I will help them take care of themselves. I think this situation will gradually get better."
"And with your magical potion, young man, I think everyone will be able to survive successfully."
Lin Chen said, "It's nothing, it's what I should do."
