What should I do if the protagonist of every world I travel to is sick?

This was a village that had been ravaged by war, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. Four people were riding by on horseback. Seeing this scene, they were filled with sadness. They suppressed their emotions and continued to move forward.

Wu Sunyang couldn't help but spit, "Damn it, it wasn't like this when I passed by here before. Fuck those damn court dogs!" Lu Yan couldn't help but turn his horse's head in another direction and entered the village.

Pei Xiao followed the others in first. Song He glanced at Wu Sunyang and said, "You knew he couldn't help it."

Wu Sunyang whipped the horse's butt hard with an angry look on his face, "I couldn't help it!" The horse stirred up a cloud of dust, blurring the figures of the three people. Song He shook his head and followed.

The streets were almost deserted, with only a few panicked individuals occasionally passing by, but they hurried along, not daring to linger for long. The houses lining the streets were in ruins, some even collapsing, leaving only ruins.

In this desolate environment, voices could be heard from time to time. These voices emanated from the alleys, from those who had lost their homes and loved ones. Some wept bitterly, while others sat helplessly on the ground, their eyes hollow and lost. Most of them had been left penniless by the imperial court's wars and conscription policies. Some had lost their fathers, others sons and brothers, and even husbands on their wedding nights.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, approaching. The villagers all ran out, a glimmer of hope in their eyes, thinking that their loved ones had returned. However, when they saw the people coming, their hope was instantly shattered. It was a group of soldiers, holding weapons and with indifferent expressions.

The soldiers stopped in the center of the village, and one of the officers shouted loudly: "The court orders that the residents here must move immediately without delay!" Before he finished speaking, the villagers suddenly became agitated.

"We have lost our home, where can we move to?" someone cried.

"This is a military order, who dares to disobey?" the officer said sternly.

At this time, an old woman stood up holding a baby in her arms, straightening her bent back. "You can't treat us like this!"

"How dare you, you bold and unruly commoner, contradict the officials!" The officer waved his whip and signaled the soldiers to go forward and arrest the man.

A flash of sword light swept across the group of soldiers. A group of people were shocked away by the sword force, and those soldiers were thrown upside down.

The officer on horseback looked down upon all this, and as he saw the young man below drawing his sword, he said with disdain in his heart, "What a young boy."

"Who are you? How dare you attack an official appointed by the imperial court? Come! Kill them on the spot!" The group of people behind the group of soldiers were still in shock. They were no match for that sword power.

Seeing these people didn't respond, the officer angrily swung his whip and hit them. "What? Are you deaf? You can't hear what I say! What are you afraid of? You are a group of people, and he is only one person. You are a group of people who only want to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!"

Suddenly, a sharp weapon flashed by like a leaf, scratched the man's face and then quickly flew back. Before the man could react, blood was already flowing down his face.

"Who said he was alone?"

Three men on tall horses stopped behind Lu Yan one after another. The villagers also saw the situation clearly. These young men were here to help them. So the old and young women and children in the village ran back home. Some took hoes, some took knives. They all stood behind the young man and cheered loudly, "Who said he was alone!"

Pei Xiao felt the encouraging power and shouts behind him. He looked at the figure standing in front of him holding a sword, and a surge of hot blood boiled from his body and rushed into his heart.

Perhaps he understood the reason why Lu Yan had to go out.

Song He raised his hand to catch the fan that flew back from the air, and slowly waved it to himself. His narrow eyes narrowed into two arcs, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "Xiao Jinan, the horse is too fast. You should learn to wait for the people behind you."

Wu Sunyang jumped off his horse carrying his sword, and walked to Lu Yan with a swagger. He looked around at the group of soldiers who were constantly retreating with his sword in hand, "Come on, what are you afraid of!" The soldiers looked at the man in front of them with their eyes rolling around, their expressions hesitant for a moment, and then said innocently, "Are you afraid that we will outnumber you and bully you?"

He threw his head back and laughed, but did not put down the sword in his hand. Lu Yan patted his shoulder and signaled that he was okay. Wu Sunyang stopped laughing and looked at the sword in his hand. Seeing that his hand was no longer shaking, he stepped aside.

He retreated to his side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Everyone said Lu Yan was a genius, but they didn't know that extremes can lead to reverse. Even though he had mastered the powerful sword-body unity at such a young age, every time he used it, he would suffer severe damage to his heart meridians. Wu Sunyang turned his head to look at the man. Only he knew this.

Lu Yan took out a letter from his arms, which contained a token from the court. He held up the special token used by the court to allow them to pass customs and pointed it at the officer.

"You said you were ordered by the imperial court. Do you have a written order? Or a specific token to prove it?"

The standing soldiers all looked at their officer, and the officer had a cracked expression on his face. How could the people above take such a small border matter so seriously? It was just a matter of a word. What kind of crappy documents could they produce!

"Ah... you don't have any, do you?" He threw the token in his hand into the air, tossing it back and forth, tilting his head and chuckling, "Forging imperial officials, fabricating false orders, driving and killing villagers, wantonly murdering imperial officials, oh my, every one of these is a capital crime that will implicate nine generations of your clan..."

Everyone looked at him. He! He! Someone from the imperial court?

The soldiers turned to look at the officer for confirmation, but the officer remained sullen and silent.

Lu Yan smiled lightly and threw the token in his hand in a parabola towards the man's face. "If you don't believe me, then take a look for yourself and see if it's the thing above you!"

The officer's face was already covered in blood, and the thing hit his wound right on the spot. He glared at the man, clutching the token tightly in his hand and examining it over and over again.

"Have you seen the recent announcement? It's severely criticizing the corrupt officials who were killed in several small places! You guys come here to do something, but you don't have anything to prove it's an order from above. If you get investigated one day, wouldn't it be a fabricated order..."

The man clenched his teeth tightly and stared at the token in his hand. This was indeed a special token for officials appointed by the imperial court.

"We are just minor officials sent by the higher-ups to monitor the local situation. We know how difficult it is for you. We have been transferred back by the higher-ups these days. Let's just leave it at that for today! Either you find the higher-ups and give you documents to allow them to move safely, or you help them tidy up everything here. There are so many grown men here, and the court's victory has destroyed their houses. Aren't you better off than the elderly, women and children who receive the court's salary?"

Lu Yan opened his mouth in shock, looking at the group of tall and strong soldiers in disbelief. "No way! No way! You really plan to let them clean up the post-war scene by themselves? Oh, you look young, you should all have parents, wives and daughters. If you go out to fight and your homes are attacked by artillery fire, not only will your parents at home worry about your safety, but your wives and children at home will also have nowhere to go and be driven away... Oh my..."

The soldiers present all lowered their heads. They were all family men, and these words pierced their hearts and pointed at their spines.

As the saying goes, killing someone destroys their heart.

Song He stood behind the young man with his head down, shaking his head and smiling.

The man on horseback tossed the token back to Lu Yan, whipped the horse and turned it around, "Alright, we haven't been here before. I'm in a good mood today, so you should just leave quickly. Don't blame me for not reminding you that besides us, there are many people in this godforsaken place who like to kill imperial officials."

Lu Yan took the token and nodded in agreement, but he was smiling in his heart. Isn't this just a coincidence? We are on the same path!

"Since you've already reminded us, I'll remind you too. This place is far away and the emperor is far away. Do things according to your heart. That way you'll have fewer nightmares at night and be more respectful of human life. Carrying too many wronged souls will also put a lot of pressure on yourself."

The main force left, and the soldiers who had already walked some distance could not help but look back at the broken village, with the young man's casual words weighing on everyone's mind.

There is a law of retribution in the world, and who can tell whether what you have done will bring disaster upon you?

Most people swallowed their saliva, sweat dripping down their bodies, and silently prayed in their hearts that their homes would be safe and all evil spirits would retreat.
