Chapter 223 That group of people also came to Shiyan City
In fact, Lu Qingqing just walked into the depths of the forest, found a hidden place, and then slipped into the space.
She took out some detoxifying and sterilizing herbs from it, and then soaked them in spiritual spring water. Only after the herbs were fully absorbed by the spiritual spring water did Lu Qingqing leave the space and walk towards the direction where Lu Yuanzheng was.
At this time, Lu Yuanzheng had successfully caught and knocked out the voles, a total of three.
Each vole weighs about one pound, enough to provide a family with a day's food.
When Lu Yuanzheng heard footsteps behind him, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked back, and saw Lu Qingqing walking towards him with a bunch of green herbs in her hand.
Lu Yuanzheng stood up, staring at the herbs in Lu Qingqing's hand, and asked:
"Qingqing, where did you find these herbs?"
"It's in the woods. It will be healed in two hours." Lu Qingqing replied. She had already walked to Lu Yuanzheng's side, picked up his injured finger without hesitation, applied the herbal medicine on it, and quickly bandaged the wound with a piece of gauze.
Lu Yuanzheng felt the coolness brought by the herbs in his hands and felt warm in his heart.
He looked at Lu Qingqing with gratitude in his eyes, but the words he said to Lu Qingqing made Lu Qingqing want to hit someone.
"Qingqing, you know about herbs, so is there any medicine that can reduce your dark circles? They are so dark that when I first saw them just now, I thought you were poisoned."
"I don't know any medicine that can cure dark circles under my eyes. Let's go find field mice." Lu Qingqing raised her leg and walked towards the field mouse hole in the distance.
Seeing the way she left, Lu Yuanzheng knew she was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly picked up the three field mice on the ground, put them away, and then walked towards Lu Qingqing.
Fortunately, both of them had good luck. When the sun shone on the entire forest, they caught a total of ten voles, which was a good harvest early in the morning.
But they were also very tired. They searched all the voles nearby and didn't see any other vole holes.
He had no choice but to go back home. On the way, he met Lu Hu and Liang Pei with two girls who were walking towards him from the other side.
Their harvest was also good, with a full basket of wild vegetables, two bundles of dry firewood, and mountain spring water!
Yang Liuqing had already prepared breakfast, which was porridge made from mountain pigeons and a dish of dried wild vegetables. Although the wild vegetables did not have oil, they were so delicious that several people ate all of them.
After dinner, they packed up and prepared to set off for Chongzhou City.
When passing by the gate of Shiyan City, the disaster victims who had rested in the city for a night also came out one after another and headed for Chongzhou City.
However, their expressions were somewhat panic-stricken, as if something terrible had happened in the city.
Lu Qingqing and others stood at the door and looked inside. Apart from the strange expressions of the victims, they did not find anything special.
They were about to set off when two disaster victims passing by spoke in horror.
"That group of people was so scary. Did you see it? It seemed like they turned into a pile of bones as soon as they fell to the ground."
"Yeah, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you were joking with me."
"I don't believe it myself. I've lived my whole life, and this is the first time I've seen someone cough to death. They coughed themselves to death."
"Yes, but you see they are as thin as sticks of firewood. You can tell they have been ill for a long time."
"Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. I don't know if their disease is contagious. I have to find some herbs on the way to boil some water to drink."
"Yes, yes, yes, go away, it's too scary."
Several people heard what the women said and their faces changed drastically!
Seeing their figures were about to walk away, Lu Qingqing hurriedly said to everyone, "You stay here first, I'll go ask what's going on."
As she spoke, Lu Qingqing walked forward quickly.
She quickly caught up with the two women. She was afraid that the women would be wary of her and also afraid that they didn't want to tell her, so she took out some common detoxifying herbs from the space and gave them to them.
She searched for these detoxifying herbs when she saw them on the road, and planted a lot of them in the space. She watered them with spiritual spring water. Their detoxifying effects were hundreds of times better than those of more powerful herbs.
Lu Qingqing stopped them with herbs in hand, "Ladies, please stay. I overheard your conversation just now. Can I ask what happened in the city? This may take up some of your time. I happen to have some herbs here. As long as you tell me, I will give them to you later, so you don't have to look for them on the road."
The two older sisters were kind-hearted people. They were a little angry when they saw that they were blocked.
But when they looked up, they saw Lu Qingqing's round, fair and tender facial features, so beautiful that she looked like she came out of a painting, and they couldn't help but stare at her in amazement!
After all, they hadn't seen a girl like this for almost a year.
The people I saw along the way were either skinny or unkempt and very dirty!
It’s still as clean and beautiful as before!
The two men looked at Lu Qingqing for a while before taking the herbs from her and telling her what happened.
The two older sisters told her with lingering fear that many people in the city had contracted a strange disease. They first started coughing incessantly, then fell to the ground and died, their bodies quickly turning into bones.
"Did it just turn into bones?"
"Yeah, about the blinking thing. It's horrible."
“Did they have any symptoms before?”
"I don't know. It seems like they just came into the city. From a distance, they kept coughing and had a runny nose. It looked scary."
Lu Qingqing thought for a moment and asked, "Did you see their appearance clearly?"
The two women shook their heads and said, "Everyone stayed away from them and didn't dare to get close to them, so they didn't take a close look. But we didn't expect them to die so quickly. It was really scary."
Lu Qingqing asked again: "Did everyone cough to death at once?"
"correct."
"How many of them are there?"
"I don't know how many there are, probably more than a hundred people."
"Okay, thank you both sisters." Lu Qingqing thanked the two sisters again.
The two elder sisters saw that Lu Qingqing was kind-hearted, so they said goodbye to her and also advised her to leave quickly:
"Girl, we are leaving now. You and your family should hurry up and leave. Don't go into the city. It is very chaotic now."
The two elder sisters left quickly after they finished talking.
Lu Qingqing stood there, deeply shocked.
When she just heard them say that group of people were coughing and having runny noses, Lu Qingqing immediately thought of who that group of people were?
It was the villagers from Xujia Village in Yongquanzhou whom they met on the road before. They had followed them up the mountain and wanted to plot against them, but they were killed by them.
Unexpectedly, they arrived at Shiyan City so quickly.
Lu Qingqing hurried back to tell everyone about this.
After hearing this, everyone's faces became extremely solemn.
Lu Hu looked at the ground and said thoughtfully:
"At that time, I saw that they were about to die, but I didn't expect that they were still so capable that they walked all the way from Yongquanzhou to Shiyan City before they died completely."
