Ji Xiaoxiao's lips quivered a few times, and it took a long time before she whispered a word, "How could this happen!"

"Let's go out and have a look." After Ye Wuyan finished speaking, he pulled Ji Xiaoxiao and walked to the door. When he arrived at the door, he said to Xiaobai lying in his nest, "Tuanzi wake up and take care of him."

Xiaobai flicked his tail, "Got it."

The two just walked out of the room, and they happened to meet everyone who came out of the room. Seeing that everyone was fine, Ji Xiaoxiao nodded to everyone, "Are you all right?"

An Yi stepped forward and bowed, "Back to the princess, there is nothing for the subordinates, and the rest are fine."

An Er opened her mouth to ask something, but in the end she didn't ask. Ji Xiaoxiao looked at An Er's hesitant appearance and had some guesses about what he wanted to ask, but unfortunately, she was still at a loss.

"Wuyan and I want to go out and have a look." Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the withered plants in the garden. He originally wanted them to be cleaned up, but after thinking about it, he should put them away first, thinking that these people must have not prepared food when they entered the room in a hurry. , I might be hungry all day and night, so I said, "You guys go find some food first."

An Yi arched his hands, "Yes."

After leaving the palace, the scene outside was not much different from that in the palace. The green plants on the street were all withered, and there was not a single person on the street. Ji Xiaoxiao and Ye Wuyan came directly to the city wall and looked at the mountains and forests outside the city. It was an endless black dry branch, and the two of them stayed on the city wall for a long time before turning back to the house.

……

When darkness comes, they enter the room in time. Those who are not shrouded in darkness have nothing to do, but those who are not lucky enough to enter the room will be swallowed into a mummified corpse the moment the darkness touches their body.

The person who came out of the room looked at the mummified corpse lying on the ground and was terrified.

In an alleyway in the outer city of the imperial city, a middle-aged man dressed in a gray bunt was screaming in horror. People around him who heard the sound came out one after another, and everyone immediately felt horrified when they saw the skinny corpse under the green dress.

One of the women looked at the bracelet on the mummy's wrist, and immediately looked at the middle-aged man with a gray bunt, "Zhang Da, is this your daughter-in-law?"

Zhang Da nodded in horror, "Yes...it's my daughter-in-law."

The woman looked at Zhang Da coldly, "Did you keep your daughter-in-law out of the door again?"

Zhang Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and raised his voice in a guilty conscience, "Who... who shut her up, she ran out and didn't come back, who knows she has turned into this ghost." To frighten himself, he spat in dissatisfaction.

When the people around saw Zhang Da's appearance, they glanced at him with disgust, and the kind person said directly: "Since it's your wife, you can take her back, or at least go to the ground for safety."

The woman who first spoke stared angrily at Zhang Da, knowing that Zhang Da must have caused it. Zhang Da was a gambler. Once she lost the bet, she would come back and beat her daughter-in-law to vent her anger. I only opened the door for people to enter when I was hungry. This time, it must be because of this that He Niang didn't have time to enter the house and became like this.

Zhang Da hurriedly took a step back, not wanting to care at all, "Dying so terribly, don't get bad luck when you enter the house."

The people around him immediately stared at him and said, "We don't care. This is your daughter-in-law and you have to take it away. This is not your home. Her body can't be placed here, or we won't let you go."

Zhang Da smiled embarrassingly, looking at the tough faces of everyone, scolding inwardly, but with a smile on his face, "I know, I know, I will deal with it."

Then everyone let him go, looking at the terrifying mummified corpse, they hurriedly went back to their respective houses and dared not look again. The woman wanted to say something and was dragged home by her mother-in-law.

Later, I heard the neighbors talking about the disposal of the corpse, and they all said that Zhang Da was a black heart, and actually dumped He Niang's body directly in the mass grave.

When the woman heard the news, her eyes were red, and she cursed Zhang Da in her heart. She was doing things so unconscionably, and she was not afraid that He Niang's wronged soul would seek revenge from him.

The fact that someone turned into a mummified corpse in the dark night caused a lot of trouble, but everyone was talking about the extra black semicircle in the sky. Everyone knew that all this must be related to it, but no one knew how to do it.

Now no one dared to come out during the day, and at first no one dared to appear at night. It was still possible to use animals to try it without danger. Everyone started to go out one after another, but fewer people went out than before.

Since the appearance of the black semicircle, the temperature has begun to rise rapidly, and news of people dying from heat has come every day. There are not a few people dying every day in the entire imperial city. Ji Xiaoxiao understands that other places will only have more than the imperial city. Little, Ji Xiaoxiao accidentally discovered the mirabilite in the medicinal materials, and then remembered the matter of making ice with saltpeter, and immediately informed Ye Wuyan of the matter.

Ji Xiaoxiao bought a bag of saltpeter and handed it to Ye Wuyan, "Is there such a stone in Qingguo?"

Ye Wuyan thought for a while, and found a spot in his impression, "There are many similar stones in the Linyun Mountains. It needs to be checked."

Wen Yanji's eyes lit up, "This stone can be used to make ice, and it can be used repeatedly. Maybe it can improve the recent situation."

"Really?" Ye Wuyan hooked his lips and smiled, "I will let someone find out about the saltpeter as soon as possible."

Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, "In addition to saltpeter, Glauber's salt can also be used, which is Glauber's salt in medicinal materials."

Ye Wuyan: "Okay."

For the next few days, Ye Wuyan has been busy with the saltpeter issue. The people who had set up the teleportation array in the past few days also completed their tasks and returned. Ji Ze was not at ease at home. After Ji Lin and Ji Yu came back, they learned about the teleportation array and immediately Just made a teleportation array and returned to Jijia Village.

Looking at the scars left on Ji Lin's cheeks, Ji Xiaoxiao frowned, "I was disfigured when I went out."

Ji Yu lowered his head, "My brother was injured because of me."

Ji Lin touched the scar on his face and smiled indifferently, "That's very manly."

Ji Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "Is masculinity defined by scars?"

Ji Yu took out a few half-crystal nuclei, "Little miss, we got this on the way back, and it's all here."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the half-crystal nucleus in her hand and waved, "Keep it for yourselves, there will be many places to use it in the future."

Ji Yu glanced at Ji Lin, Ji Lin nodded at her, and then she put away the half-crystal nucleus, Ji Lin straightened his face, and told the situation he encountered on the road, "Little Miss, the mutant beast appeared. The number is expanding, the dark night some time ago turned the forest into a dry mountain overnight, and more beasts descended the mountain after the day, and they seem to have great malice towards people, and attacks often occur."
