Chapter 444 444. Unlucky

These refugees had obviously fled due to a natural disaster and happened to meet this team of people seeking medicine.

Wushan stood quietly behind, observing Xu Fu's choice.

"Get out of the way and don't block the road."

General Nanzhou waved his riding crop in an attempt to drive them away.

But the refugee just squatted down with his head in his hands, showing no intention of getting out of the way.

"Wait a minute, General."

Xu Fu raised his hand to tell General Nanzhou to stop and came to those who were kneeling.

"Where do you come from?"

he asked.

"Report, sir, we are from Mucheng. Five days ago, evil spirits invaded and all the officers and soldiers guarding the city were killed. We fled here and have been hungry for three days and three nights. Please help us, sir!"

The old man with gray temples said hurriedly.

"Can you read?"

Xu Fu felt that this man spoke quite clearly, as if he had read a book.

"Sir, I am a teacher at a private school and have read some books."

The old man immediately raised his head and replied.

"Come here and explain the situation to me in detail."

Xu Fu waved to the old man to come forward. The old man stood up tremblingly, came to Xu Fu, and told Xu Fu everything he had seen and heard.

Kiriyama listened on the sidelines and quickly understood the ins and outs of it.

It turns out that in this world, evil spirits are not just ordinary monsters. They will swarm in powerful groups, sometimes attacking an entire town and killing everyone in it.

Mucheng was unfortunately beset by an evil spirit, and most of the people in the city were massacred. It was the teacher who took the students on a study tour outside the city, and they managed to escape. However, they did not dare to return to the city, and took them with them. Following the survivors, they fled along the post road and met a team seeking medicine.

Wushan watched with cold eyes, wanting to see how Xu Fu was going to deal with these people.

It is absolutely impossible to provide water and food. The team's supplies are fixed. In addition to students, there are also some farmers living outside the city. There are forty or fifty people. Distributing a meal will consume a lot. .

Moreover, Mucheng is on the way forward. In theory, they should resupply in Mucheng. Now that it is occupied by evil spirits, they have to find other ways.

It's not that you're afraid of evil spirits, but you should avoid wars as much as possible and don't fight meaningless wars.

"Sir, there are so many of us here, and we don't want to embarrass you. We just want to provide a meal to relieve hunger. We know that we can reach Fengcheng by continuing along this road for three days. I kneel down here for you. , I hope you can save us."

The old man knelt down again. Obviously, he also knew that Xu Fu could not completely solve the problem, so he only offered to give them a meal so that they would not starve to death on the way.

"What are you talking about? We have limited food and grass. We have to go to Mucheng to replenish supplies. Now that Mucheng has fallen, it's too late for us to ask questions. Why do you have the nerve to come begging for food?"

Hui Jiang, the medicine envoy who asked for help, asked sharply.

"Do you know who we are? We are His Majesty's envoys to seek immortality and medicine. If you untouchables neglect His Majesty's great cause, even killing a hundred heads will not be enough!"

"Hey, don't worry, Brother Huijiang."

Xu Fu stopped Hui Jiang and called Nanzhou.

"General Nanzhou, how much water and food do we have?"

"Lord Qi, we still have enough water for ten days and food for seven days."

Originally, according to the plan, they could reach Mucheng in two days to get supplies, so in order to increase their traveling speed, they did not carry too much food. Moreover, there were streams where you could get water halfway, and there were wild beasts in the forest for hunting, so in all seriousness, they had to eat a lot. Ten days and a half month is no problem.

"Sir, there are so many people here, and the food they need is not a small sum."

On the side, Hui Jiang saw what Xu Fu meant and reminded him.

"Yes, sir, the evil spirits have taken over the wooden city. We still need to take a different route. If we distribute food, the soldiers may have some complaints."

General Nanzhou obviously did not agree with disaster relief either.

"I asked for the elixir for Your Majesty so that Your Majesty can protect the world. If you don't save the world at this time, how can you protect the world? I believe that if Your Majesty were here, he would definitely make the same decision as me. "

Xu Fu waved his hand and asked General Nanzhou to distribute some of the food to the victims. The skinny victims immediately became grateful and knelt down to kowtow to Xu Fu.

"Old man, what do those evil spirits look like?"

While the victims were devouring their food, Kiriyama walked over and asked the teacher.

"They, they look like insects, covering the sky and the sun, and some of them have sickle-like weapons. The soldiers guarding the city were instantly defeated and there was no way to resist them!"

The old man replied.

"Is this your first time seeing Yaoxie?"

Wushan asked again. He took out a piece of dry food from his arms and handed it to the old man's arms.

"I saw this sir once from a distance when I was a child, but I couldn't see it clearly. At that time, evil spirits attacked the village. My parents just took me away and didn't take a closer look."

The old man hurriedly stuffed the dry food into his clothes and replied immediately.

"Before this, have you heard of evil attacks in other places? Have you been attacked by evil spirits and defended yourself?"

Kiriyama continued to ask.

"I have heard that Fengcheng was once attacked by evil spirits, but the soldiers guarding the city worked together to resist the evil attacks."

The old man replied, finished the dry food in his hand, and bowed his head to Wushan again.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

The group of victims ate and continued walking along the road. They would still have to walk for several days before reaching the next city. Whether they could survive the journey would depend on luck.

Seeing the sudden loss of food and grass, General Nanzhou looked troubled.

"Sir, we need to plan our next move."

"Thanks to these victims, otherwise we would have gone directly to Mucheng. If we encounter evil spirits, there is no guarantee that we will not suffer heavy losses."

Xu Fu looked at the victims and said in a deep voice.

Hui Jiang thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.

"Feige sent a message to Tangcheng to see what's going on there. We'll continue along the post road."

he ordered.

"Will this evil only attack one city at a time?"

Kiriyama came over and asked at this time.

"These evil spirits come and go, but most of them only kill people and rarely occupy land. Let's contact Tangcheng first. If it's safe there, we can get supplies there."

Xu Fu did not hide it.

"If Tangcheng also falls, we may have to go to Fengcheng again, which is further away and will take at least thirty days."

Kiriyama nodded.

Early the next morning, the homing pigeon that was supposed to return did not arrive as promised, and everyone looked solemn.

"It seems that Tangcheng is also in trouble."

Xu Fu looked at General Nanzhou, then asked and checked the food and grass.

"I have a proposal."

Just when they were discussing the next direction of travel with expressions of embarrassment on their faces, Kiriyama suddenly raised his hand.

"Let's go check out the situation in Mucheng."
