Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 178 [Picture of Paradise]

Not only Fang Yao, but also Fan Chen, Yang Gao, and A Wu had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Master Zhixian, what should we do now? Shall we still enter this mountain?"

A man asked weakly.

"Yeah, there are so many poisonous pits on this mountain, and the road inside is even more difficult..."

"But if you don't go, those people in the village..."

"Shh-"

Afterwards, no one dared to speak out.

Huang Zhixian looked at Fang Yao involuntarily, with a troubled expression on his face.

Fang Yao frowned, and quickly returned to the carriage.

She asked Yang Gao to take Mrs. Liu to their carriage first, and then close the curtain.

"Is Madam Zhixian leaving? Let's follow her too..."

Knowing that there are several masters around Fang Yao, some people quickly gathered around, wanting to be with them on the road.

Huang Zhixian was silent for a moment, and then followed, but was stopped by Fan Chen, "Master, you'd better get someone to clean up the things on the road first."

"Ah, good, good."

Huangzhi County didn't react at all. Fan Chen seemed to be a servant. He turned around and called for a few yamen servants to come over and carry away the horses and the yamen servants' bodies on the ground.

The wolves howled one after another, and gradually, everyone realized that something was wrong.

"The wolves don't seem to be on the mountain, but behind us..."

"Not only behind, but also on the left and right. What are these wolves doing?"

Sanniang came out suddenly, looked at Huangzhi County, and said softly: "The mountain god patrols the mountain, and all the beasts welcome it. It's not normal for these wolves to appear. There are so many of us and we are not afraid of them..."

Huang Zhixian didn't look at her with lowered eyes, but many ordinary people listened to her in their hearts.

"That's right, the mountain god is the master of the mountain, but isn't he the master of all the beasts..."

"We have all reached the foot of the mountain. If we don't go, the mountain god will probably blame us..."

Listening to the discussions outside, Fang Yao's mind was in confusion.

She quickly took out the booklet, and with the help of the faint light in the brazier, she flipped through the latest page...

Among the snow-covered mountains, the eaves of the buildings are faintly visible, and a faint miasma shrouds the outside. At first glance, one may think it is a fairy mountain cloud.

It turned out to be a [Picture of Paradise].

Fang Yao was taken aback, there are still people living in this mountain?

She suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned the village just now, but was soon interrupted by others, and her heart moved slightly.

After putting away the booklet, she opened the curtain, and the outside was almost cleaned up. In order to deter the wolves, people lit a lot of torches they brought.

She looked back, and because of the long delay here, most of the people behind had caught up.

For a moment, the jumping flames of hundreds of torches dyed the night here as if it was covered with a glowing day.

The wolves seemed to be really frightened, and the howling gradually disappeared.

"Look, we all said that wolves are afraid of fire, people like us, they dare not approach."

"Hey, who doesn't seem to know!"

Fang Yao was worried, these wolves were extremely cunning and insidious, the more silent they were, the more vigilant they had to be.

She searched around for the figure of Huangzhi County. This person was still in front of her just now, but now he disappeared again.

Suddenly, she saw Huangzhi County coming out of a carriage, with one hand grabbing the corner of his clothes, and he dragged him back mercilessly.

Fang Yao was silent for a moment, then shouted in that direction: "Huang... Officer, come here, I have something to tell you."

Huang Zhixian's eyes lit up, fearing that the people in the carriage would hold him back, he hurried over.

However, after he got into the carriage, Fang Yao went out instead, and then a tall man came in.

"you……"

Huang Zhixian was a little dumbfounded. The servant with a beard had too sharp eyes, and he always unconsciously wanted to avoid the latter's gaze.

Fan Chen said lightly: "In gold."

Huang Zhixian's body froze, and it took him a while to respond: "I, I am."

"Now you must tell the truth about the real situation in Qingfeng County during the two years you have been in office. If there is any concealment, I can throw you out to feed the wolves right now."

It was clearly a threat, but there was no fear in Huang Zhixian's eyes, his body trembled slightly with excitement, "You... you are finally here, I say, I say..."

outside.

Fang Yao's false status as the magistrate's wife and the heroic appearance of her two "men" in saving lives made her highly respected.

As soon as she came out, as soon as she asked Yang Gao to help her lift the lantern, seven or eight people rushed out holding torches.

"I don't need so many people, I'll go see what's going on in that pothole."

As Fang Yao said, she asked Yang Gao and the others to borrow a few shovels and walked towards the bushes in the forest just now.

Many people still wanted to follow her, Fang Yao winked at A Wu, who hurriedly led a few members of the Li clan to stop them.

"Everyone, don't follow. Be careful and step on the pothole again. It will be troublesome then."

Fang Yao, Yang Gao and the others walked behind the bushes following the footprints they had stepped on earlier.

Several people shoveled away the snow near the pothole, and when the soil and rocks below were exposed, she put on a mask.

The small pothole was not deep, only a foot long to the bottom, and there was nothing inside, but the surrounding rock walls were faintly glowing with light green fluorescence.

"Hey, the snow that was shoveled just now is a bit green."

Standing a little further away, Li Dazhu pointed to a snowdrift and said in surprise.

Fang Yao quickly looked over, and sure enough, it not only turned green, but also glowed, just like in the pothole.

It looks like it has been coated with a light layer of luminous fluorescent powder.

Suddenly, Fang Yao thought that these things were a bit like some kind of poisonous radioactive fluorescent powder. If inhaled too much, it would cause wounds to fester and cause mental disorders, similar to the symptoms of Crazy Horse and Yamen servants just now.

But the toxicity of this kind of thing and the speed of poisoning are much more terrifying than the radioactive fluorescent powder she knows.

"Be careful, don't touch it, these are poisonous."

Fang Yao said, and looked carefully at the bottom of the pothole, then took the shovel in Li Dazhu's hand, and shoveled down hard again.

Under the newly excavated soil, it is very normal.

"The soil underneath is not glowing, I thought the ground was poisonous..." Yang Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yao squinted her eyes, it was because someone deliberately dug a hole and sprinkled poisonous powder.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand that Huang Zhixian left angrily after hearing that there was poison in the pothole.

He... should know something.

Fang Yao got up and looked around, the sound of wolves disappeared completely, and the gloomy forest nearby was very dense, and at the foot of the mountain, there were all kinds of hardy trees.

This time, she finally saw clearly.

On the mountain in the distance, there is a faint miasma lingering.

It's just... these miasmas are not like the plague monsters before, the black mist shoots straight into the sky.

If you are too far away, you can't see it at all!
"Go, let's go back."

She waved her hand, took off the mask and hid it, and walked back holding the hem of the skirt.

Fan Chen and Huang Zhixian hadn't come out yet, and the common people all had a little panic on their faces, and they gathered around eagerly, fearing that something might go wrong again.

Fang Yao glanced over, and there were many young children.

Something will definitely happen on the mountain this time. No one will care about these ordinary people when they are in a panic.

"Fathers and folks, this time the Mountain God Temple Fair has been postponed."
