Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 127 Zhangxiang Epidemic
Under Fang Yao's command, Yang Gao used his oars to fork the magistrate who was straddling the fork of the jujube tree.

The county magistrate was so cold that his eyes were dim, and he shrank into a ball, his black lips trembling: "You, you idiots, why did you rescue me so late..."

Everyone on the boat looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The magistrate was still trembling all over his body, his teeth were clenched and he said: "What, what are you doing in a daze, hurry, hurry up and carry me into the boat, the cabin..."

"Master, are we saving an ancestor?"

Yang Gao looked at the county magistrate who, even though his skin was purple from the cold, did not forget to play with his authority, he couldn't help but knit his eyebrows.

The magistrate heard others talking, and only then realized that something was wrong.

He shrank his neck and raised his head, and saw the faintly glowing four-eyed mask on Fang Yao's face at a glance. At that time, he fell back in shock and said in horror: "Yes, it's you, if you dare to disrespect me, me, me official……"

He hurriedly looked around nervously, and when he finally saw two other boats carrying soldiers and Master Hongtian approaching, he felt relieved.

"If you dare to show any disrespect to me, this official, I will definitely punish you!"

Although the magistrate was shivering from the cold, he finally stiffened up in front of the coming reinforcements, "Hurry up and send me to that boat."

The members of the Li clan looked at each other, silently looking at Fang Yao.

Fang Yao resisted the urge to kick the magistrate into the water again, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't try to get rid of the monsters in the river, the river will continue to rise, and there will be outbreaks of epidemics."

The magistrate had been struggling with the jujube tree just now, so naturally he didn't see any monsters in the river.

He looked skeptical, and was about to say something, when suddenly bursts of terrified cries came from not far away.

Everyone turned their heads quickly, and saw that on the boat with Master Hongtian and others, everyone kept crowding towards the center of the boat, as if there was something terrible underwater.

Fang Yao's eyes widened slightly, and the faint heartbeat approached again.

She and Fan Chen rushed to the bow of the boat, and Yang Gao called the others to row the boat over quickly.

The magistrate was still worried that he would be controlled by "bad guys", but in the blink of an eye, he was the only one sitting on the deck, dripping wet, with no one paying attention.

"I'm so fucking right! Just now a pale and pale hand suddenly stretched out from the water, grabbed the little girl's ankle, and dragged her into the water!"

"I, I saw it too. It doesn't look like a living person's hand at all. The black fingernails are two inches long!"

"Quick, hurry up to the mountain over there! The water is full of monsters!"

Everyone on that boat was pale, and no one dared to stand beside the boat near the water.

Fang Yao frowned, there was only one little girl on their boat, Dong'er.

This maid was dragged underwater?

She stared at the water below the boat and looked carefully, with a strange heartbeat fluttering, getting farther and farther away, and she was faintly diving towards the bottom of the river filled with black mist in the water.

It's just that the heartbeat is very weak, and it can't be compared with the water monkey with the turtle shell.

It's like... the heartbeat of a half-dead monster.

The woman's face seen underwater appeared in Fang Yao's mind again, and she had a terrible guess in her heart.

"The brides of the River God have all become the puppets of the Plague Demon." Fan Chen walked up to her at some point, looked at the water and said in a low voice, "The one who caught Dong'er just now should be one of them."

Fang Yao frowned, her guess was indeed the same as what Fan Chen said, but she felt wrong.

"Miss Zhang is obviously still human, but those under the water...are they still human?"

Her mask has always only captured the hidden traces of the plague demon.

Fan Chen said softly: "Have you forgotten Chief Wang Bao and Lao Ba in Xihe Village?"

Fang Yao's face under the mask instantly turned blue.

She turned her face sideways and looked up at Fan Chen, with many doubts in her heart, she wanted to ask him how much he knew and why he was so secretive.

But now that there are people everywhere, she can only temporarily bury these questions in her heart.

Fang Yao pursed her lips: "I thought there was something wrong with that Dong'er, but I didn't expect..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from behind her.

Everyone turned around suddenly, and saw the magistrate standing purple from the cold, standing at the hatch of the ship, and at some point there was an extra dagger in his hand.

And the dagger was now on the neck of the woman in red.

Fang Yao frowned, she forgot that a bride was rescued on the boat.

This boat has two separate large cabins, no wonder Fan Chen didn't change into his wet clothes, the rescued bride was in the cabin he entered.

The magistrate's legs trembled, but there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes, "You, are you doing this to save this woman? Quickly, put me on that boat, or..."

The bride was also dressed in wet clothes, only wrapped in a dusty woolen blanket, her face was pale and bloodless from the cold.

only……

Fang Yao stared at the blood with white foam slowly flowing out from the bride's feet, and the familiar stench came faintly.

"Oh, look at her feet!"

Gou Wa exclaimed.

Nazhixian couldn't help but lowered his head and took a look. Fan Chen moved his hand, and the next second the former's right hand holding the knife felt a sharp pain, and the dagger fell in response.

Without support, the bride's body softened and she slumped on the ground.

Yang Gao rushed over, picked up the magistrate, picked up the rope on the side and tied the latter firmly.

"You, you guys are so courageous, how dare, dare to tie up the court order..."

It's a pity that the county magistrate was shocked by the sight before he finished speaking.

Fang Yao carefully lifted the bride's bottom thick skirt, revealing the bride's ankles covered with white fur balls...

"Ah, ah, epidemic, epidemic..."

As if seeing a ghost, the magistrate desperately wriggled his body that was tied into a rice dumpling, trying to stay away from the bride.

"Damn it, isn't it just Changbai ball, call you old mother!"

Yang Gao unceremoniously picked up a bunch of dirty rags on the deck, stuffed them into Zhixian's mouth.

Fang Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "The epidemic? What epidemic?"

The county magistrate whined, and Yang Gao pulled out the rag again.

"Vag... vomit..."

The rag was stuffed so hard that it pierced the magistrate's throat. He retched for a while, then stared at the bloodshot eyes, and said in horror, "During this period, there have been strange deaths in the city from time to time. I have investigated them. Dead people have this white stuff on them..."

Fang Yao and the others looked at each other.

It turned out that in addition to the inexplicable drowning people, more than a hundred people in Zhangxiang City had died from this strange white ball, and the doctors in the city tried their best, but they couldn't cure it.

Even a worker with an injured hand accidentally touched the white ball on the corpse, and died one after another after a few days.

"Master Hongtian said that this is the wrath of the river god, and it can only be eliminated by holding a sacrificial ceremony."

The magistrate stared at the strange white ball that was still growing on the bride's feet, and said palely, "No wonder the river god is angry, this bride is infected with the disease!"

Fang Yao sneered: "Let me tell you the truth, the epidemic you mentioned was all caused by things in the river."

As soon as her words fell, the originally dark sky suddenly darkened, like the middle of the night, and the surface of the water churned strangely again.

Everyone raised their heads nervously, and Fang Yao felt that the temperature-changing mask began to gradually heat up again.
