On the deserted streets, Tang Ming could just barely make out the lifeless village in front of him by the red words written on the huge rocks.
"Right here?" Hua Yu used her hand to block the sun as she narrowed her eyes. "Didn't I say that the Li Family Village is very prosperous? Why is it so desolate?!"
"If you don't like it, then don't go in!" Luo Ling snorted coldly, as he was not at all pleased with the idea of inserting flower heads in the middle of the conversation.
Hua Yu looked at Luo Ling with a faint smile. His eyes narrowed as he smiled like a fox who had just deserved a beating: "Have you ever seen a dead city?"
Luo Ling was confused.
"I have." Hua Yu suddenly approached Luo Ling and said: "So, I won't argue with a child like you who doesn't know anything."
"Who's the kid?" Luo Ling pulled at Hua Yu's collar, who was smiling indifferently. A few silver lights flashed, so fast that even Tang Ming did not notice. Luo Ling could not move a single step and could not even speak.
"Young Master Hua." Tang Ming received his junior brother's pleading gaze and stood up after sighing.
"This acupoint cannot be opened. Don't worry, it will open automatically within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Even Brother Luo can't stay here." Hua Yu realized that her display of might was not at the right time.
Tang Ming: "It's fine."
He only saw Tang Ming pull out a gunny sack out of nowhere, and under the dumbstruck gaze of Hua Yu, he skillfully and cleanly put Luo Ling inside it.
Hua Yu swallowed her saliva and asked, "It can't be that this is Brother Luo's first time having a gunny sack over his head, right?"
"I've been using jute bags since I was five or six years old." Tang Ming laughed embarrassedly.
Uncle-master Gu Han was in charge of his Master, Chu Junran, and didn't care about Tang Ming and his brother at all. Therefore, Luo Ling was thrown to Tang Ming ever since he was a kid.
However, Tang Ming only knew how to point the acupuncture points and could not clear the acupuncture points. Therefore, after taking care of Luo Ling, Tang Ming had to put his Junior Brother in a sack to prevent the wind and rain from blowing him back to the top of the mountain.
Tang Ming couldn't help but laugh when he thought back to the scene of him dragging a gunny sack with a junior brother in it when he was young.
What an interesting memory. Tang Ming thought about it seriously. He didn't think about his junior brother's intentions in the slightest.
Seeing Tang Ming's expression, Hua Yu could faintly guess the truth.
"The Li Family Village was originally famous for being a Peach Blossom Village. I never thought that it would become like this in a mere month." Although Hua Yu was stretching, her tone was rather casual. Even when she saw the dead people in the fields, there was not the slightest bit of sympathy or fear in her eyes. It was as if she was used to seeing such things.
Tang Ming did not notice Flower Elder's expression and was instead observing the surroundings of the village. He frowned and subconsciously forgot that Luo Ling was still wrapped in a sack, "Didn't you say that only women and children have strange illnesses? Why are there so few brawlers in the village? "
"Brother Tang, are you asking me?" Hua Yu turned his head to look at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming: "…"
Tang Ming looked at Hua Yuzhu and then looked at the motionless jute bag. "It's nothing."
At this moment, the gunny sack suddenly started moving. Tang Ming's brain didn't have time to think before he pointed his hand at his roughly neck and chopped down forcefully. By the time Tang Ming reacted, the sack had already stopped moving.
Tang Ming: "…"
"About that … Brother Tang …" "Are you really brothers?" Hua Yu asked hesitantly.
"Cough, cough …" Tang Ming concealed his coughing and said, "I was used to it when I was on the mountain."
Flowers Away: "..."
The Cloud Sky Sect was truly a magical place.
Under Hua Yu's strange gaze, Tang Ming couldn't help but seriously ponder if there was something wrong with the way he brought his Junior Brother.
"No, hubby! Even so, he's still sick! He's just sick, that's all. He's not some unknown child!"
"Smelly woman, f * ck off."
Tang Ming looked over and saw a tanned brawny man kicking the woman away with an impatient look on his face. The woman was holding a child whose limbs were all rotten and crying in confusion.
From far away, Tang Ming could smell a foul stench, as if it was rotten meat that had been left for a few days.
Hua Yu acted as if she didn't smell the stench and placed a hand on Tang Ming's shoulder. "Let me go up and take a look."
Without waiting for Tang Ming's reply, Hua Yu walked over to the couple and asked with a warm smile, "What happened?"
Perhaps because Hua Yu's current appearance was too reliable, the woman hugged her child while sobbing, "This husband of mine, my child is sick, but, but my husband believes the rumors, he wants …" "To abandon us, mother and son …"
"Why is my life so bitter!"
Tang Ming hurriedly followed him, just in time to hear the robust man's words.
"A pair of jinx, laozi worked so hard to get myself into trouble, but it wasn't to bring about misfortune. Scram, scram for laozi!"
Tang Ming's brows creased together. Hua Yu stopped Tang Ming who was about to intervene: "Did you hear the sound of the bamboo stick hitting the ground?"
Looking towards the direction of the voice, a green-clothed scholar slowly walked out. The green-clothed scholar's aura was refined and refined, and he looked like the scholar who would often be targeted and paid a debt of gratitude by all sorts of demoness in his stories. Unfortunately, the scholar was blind, and with his jade-like hands, when compared to the green bamboo pole, he seemed like an extremely beautiful landscape painting.
"Cough cough. Elder Sister Chun, don't worry. There will be a way to treat this disease." The scholar's voice was very pleasant to hear, but very weak, as if he had not rested properly for several days.
The scholar could not see, and the bamboo pole accidentally touched the baby in the woman's arms.
Seeing this, the woman became anxious, and pushed aside the scholar who had walked over, holding the child in her arms as she looked down at the scholar with a face full of hatred: "Die! If it weren't for the fact that you haven't been able to find a solution, how could my child be deemed as unknown? Blind, inept doctor!"
"You … Cough cough … Cough * The scholar's face became even paler, but there was nothing he could do. He could only look around for bamboo poles on the ground, looking miserable. The woman didn't think it was enough, so he kicked her far away.
Hua Yu laughed. "If it's useful, then kneel down and ask for help. If it isn't, then humiliate everywhere. Ah, I've seen the people from the Li family village with my own eyes."
"What are you? Do I need you to lecture me?"
The woman had changed from her previous weak state to staring at the flower blossoms. She looked extremely shrewd.
"Is it someone from outside the village? Elder Sister Ru Chun, don't be so fierce towards them. " The scholar's voice was soft and gentle. Although his eyes were dazed and without focus, it still gave off a feeling of being as gentle as jade.
Hua Yu could not help but mutter under her breath, "This person really gives off the feeling of being my master."
The woman, however, did not appreciate the gesture and said aggressively, "You're in charge of our matters, what do you mean …"
A silver ray of light flashed in front of Tang Ming and the woman's cursing immediately stopped. Tang Ming looked at Hua Yuzhan, who was smiling so happily that Hua Yu's eyes narrowed, "Big sister, no one taught you to rinse your mouth before you go out? It's so smelly. "
The brawny man also spat at him and quickly left.
Tang Ming looked at the woman and gave a sigh. However, he still paid no attention to her and went up to help the scholar up.
"Is Teacher alright?" Tang Ming helped the scholar up, trying to make sure that his voice was not as cold as it usually was.
"I'm fine …" "Cough, cough …" The scholar covered his coughing, "I am Li Yuyan. I am the village's doctor. I wonder if you two have a place to stay in the Li family village?"
"This …" Tang Ming hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth. "No."
"I still have some guest rooms. If you two don't mind, you can stay in my house." Li Yuyan suggested.
"Thank you very much." As he spoke, Tang Ming followed Li Yuyan.
"Brother Tang!" Since Hua Yu couldn't bear it anymore, Tang Ming turned his head in puzzlement: "What's wrong?"
"Your junior apprentice-brother forgot."
Tang Ming: "…"
Right, and junior apprentice-brother.
