Origin System, I have a barren mountain

A few days later, Ning saw a strange sight on the street: for some reason, the vegetable vendors around her seemed to be particularly popular.

She was on guard, and just as she was about to step forward, someone pulled her back.

Ning Yatou froze, and subconsciously turned around to look.

"It's you."

Ning Yatou's eyes held a hint of doubt. "You don't have something else to tell me, do you?"

The man was a servant of Lord Liu. At this moment, he glanced at the vegetable vendors on the roadside.

On the other side, Cheng Yunmo felt uneasy for some reason, a feeling that had only just begun to rise in the last few days.

Although it was strange that the emperor hadn't sent anyone to find her, there should have been some explanation. With the matter still unresolved and these feelings lingering in her mind, Cheng Yunmo wondered if something bad was about to happen.

Cheng Yunmo, who was in the courtyard, was just about to go out when he felt a pair of eyes looking at him from the sky.

"... "

Cheng Yunmo didn't know what to say to the people watching them. They had thought about this question before: why must they be looked at with their eyes?

Granny Qing is right. How can you know how things are progressing if you don't watch? They're not fearless either.

Cheng Yunmo breathed a sigh of relief when she thought of Granny Qing.

If it weren't for Granny Qing, she would still be bothered by those eyes in the sky, but thankfully she can ignore them now.

Ning Yatou returned with a dark expression on her face, and immediately went to find Cheng Yunmo.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

Cheng Yunmo practically floated over to Ning Yatou, "What's wrong?"

“Many people in our city have died. If I hadn’t seen those vegetable vendors today and found them a bit strange, I really wouldn’t have realized that such a big thing had happened.”

Ning told me about the strange things she had seen today, and she was still shaken by them.

"Go and have a look."

As Cheng Yunmo led Ning Yatou to the door, she saw the head guard whom the Empress Dowager had assigned to her return.

She had no idea he had left before, and now seeing him walking hurriedly, she felt he must have encountered a lot of trouble.

"Master, are you going to see those people who died for unknown reasons?"

Cheng Yunmo nodded. "Yes, how come you've already seen it?"

The head guard nodded, his expression somewhat strange.

Cheng Yunmo hesitated, not knowing why, but he seemed to smell a strong fragrance on the head guard.

This aroma doesn't smell like food; in short, it smells very strange.

Cheng Yunmo was a little embarrassed to say it, after all, it was the head of the guard's business. But the head of the guard smelled his arm and said strangely, "I didn't expect this smell to still be there."

what?

Cheng Yunmo was genuinely surprised, since the head guard's expression seemed to suggest that he was also acting strangely.

"Huh, what's going on? Captain, can you stay away from the master? Will that cause any problems?"

Ning Yatou pushed the head guard aside and stared at him suspiciously.

"This is from the place where the corpses are gathered. My men are fine so far, but they can't eat anything."

He found it strange when this was mentioned.

Yun was brought back by Granny Qing, her face extremely pale.
