Chapter 14 A Wall of Life and Death
There was another burst of coughing in the room, as if to cough up the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys together.

Du Wenwen was so anxious that he stood up and was about to rush in.

"Stop!" The man shouted while coughing, "What did I say?"

Du Wenwen was about to burst into tears, "Master said I can't go in, but...but..."

"You are obedient."

The coughing sound continued.

Du Wenwen stamped his feet anxiously, "Master, I'll go buy medicine for you, now I'll go buy medicine..."

He hurriedly ran out of the door, a small man with a big head on his head, bumped into the steel and iron frame of the visitor.

Du Wenwen couldn't help but fell out, "Ouch!", feeling aggrieved, touching his buttocks and looking at the person, "Who is it?"

The light fell on the back of the other party, reflecting a rickety figure.

The person who came, with soaked clothes and lowered his head, was the shopkeeper of Kushui Shop.Behind him, Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen came in at the same time.

"It's you?" Du Wenwen suddenly yelled, "Old Man Chang? Why did you bring them here?"

There was a suspicious voice from inside the room, "Chang Buyun? Who did you bring?"

Chang Buyun, the shopkeeper of Kushui Shop, still used his muddy and low voice, "The two foreign guests happened to be outside, so they came in together."

"Old man Chang, you shouldn't bring anyone here."

"Everyone has his own destiny, and there is nothing that should or should not come."

While talking, Chang Buyun threw the jade pendant in Du Wenwen's hand to Yu Tianqing, "Take the things and leave."

"Huh?" The man in the room suddenly woke up and said loudly, "Du Wenwen, what have you done?"

"I...I..." Du Wenwen twisted his fingers, hesitating to speak.

Chang Buyun sighed, "He just wants to buy you more medicines, why should you be so fussy about him."

The people in the room were silent, and it took a long time before they let out a long sigh, "I just thought that while I was still alive, I would be stricter with him, so that when I am gone, he can still walk the right path without losing his righteous thoughts."

"Master..." After hearing this, Du Wenwen burst into tears.

Yu Tianqing has always been kind-hearted, so she couldn't help feeling sad, and asked softly, "I don't know what disease this friend has, what can we help?"

"Thank you for the girl's kindness." The man in the room said, "But my life is over, so I don't need to bother."

It is amazing that a living person can be so calm when facing the end of his life.

Standing aside, Chang Buyun moved two steps forward, and seemed to murmur, "Sometimes, what should be troublesome still needs to be troublesome."

The man laughed and said, "Chang make up for luck, you are making up for luck, not life."

Chang Buyun grinned, his laughter hoarse, "If you can make luck, you can make life."

Chang Buyun said to Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen, "If you two are willing to make trouble, you may as well come with me."

On the high wall, the night wind is bitter.

Beneath the city wall was a flat desert. At this time, it was empty and desolate.Not long after, suddenly, in the distance, there was a coughing sound, and a few birds startled the forest.

The atmosphere unexpectedly started to stagnate.

Immediately afterwards, in the woods not far ahead, five ordinary people walked up. They supported each other, walked two steps, coughed a while, staggered, and walked with difficulty.

Can't walk a hundred steps, half the distance from the city wall...

'Zi 呲...' A strange electric current flashed unexpectedly under the shady scene.

Yu Tianqing couldn't help exclaiming, "This is..."

Under the high pressure, the bones of the five figures suddenly appeared, but in the blink of an eye, they all collapsed to the ground.

Bai Yunshen, who was holding his sword beside him, was also terrified.

"Why is the huge voltage grid pulled up here?" Bai Yunshen couldn't help asking.

Chang Buyun sighed and said, "This is to isolate the infected villagers."

Yu Tianqing asked in surprise, "Infected villagers?"

"That's right." Chang Buyun said, "A few months ago, a villager drank the water near Xifengdu and began to get sick. At first, he was weak, and gradually he began to have difficulty breathing, and finally he coughed."

Thinking of the state just now, Yu Tianqing couldn't help saying, "Just like the five people just now?"

"Yes." Chang Buyun continued, "In the beginning, it was transmitted from person to person, and later even the livestock at home were not spared. By the time people panicked, several surrounding villages had been infected. The crowd died in large numbers. "

When Chang Buyun said this, he couldn't help sighing, "Human life is always worthless before natural disasters and man-made disasters."

Bai Yunshen asked, "Is there any medicine to treat it?"

Chang Buyun shook his head, "There is no cure. Even the doctors are infected."

"Isn't this a plague!" Yu Tianqing exclaimed.

Chang Buyun showed sadness, "So, the city lord ordered that a huge power grid be pulled up in this deserted place to warn the infected people not to approach. Even so, it is always repeated."

"Everyone has a desire to live." Bai Yun sighed deeply,

"Of course, it's just that it shouldn't be built on the basis of endangering other people's lives." Yu Tianqing's eyes showed sadness, and she sighed with sorrow, "A wall of life and death, two poles of Yin and Yang."

"It's not the worst."

"Is there something more serious?"

"It always rains overnight." Chang Buyun said again, "The source of infection is not only water, air, living things, and even land."

Bai Yunshen frowned suddenly, "If even the land is infected, it will be useless to defend this city wall."

"That's right, that's right." Chang Buyun half-chanted and half-recited, "There is a way, everything has life and death, and there is luck in the world."

Bai Yunshen thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What is the source of this infection?"

Chang Buyun replied, "I'm going to ask my master—I'm absolutely clear."

Yu Tianqing reacted very quickly, "I'm so clear, is that the man in the room just now?"

Chang Buyun nodded, "In order to investigate the source of the disease, he went to Xifengdu alone, and fell ill after returning."

Yu Tianqing said, "His illness is very similar to what you said, could it be that... he was also infected?"

Chang Buyun said, "You are right."

"Oh!" Yu Tianqing exclaimed, "What about Du Wenwen, isn't it dangerous to be in the same room with him?" Yu Tianqing suddenly said, "So, Yiqing will never let Du Wenwen approach the back room, just To isolate him from the disease."

Seeing that she was worried, Bai Yunshen comforted her, "Since Yi Qingjue has personally been to the infected place, he has a certain understanding and certainty about the virus. Since Du Wenwen is not infected, there must be something in it. You don't have to worry too much."

Yu Tianqing regained her composure, pondered for a while, and suddenly raised her eyes to meet Bai Yunshen's eyes, seeing the association's meaning from the other's pupils.

"I'm afraid this matter is not simple."

Bai Yunshen nodded in agreement, and then said to Chang Buyun, "It seems that I need to trouble you to take us to see Yi Qingjue."

Chang Buyun chuckled, "That's exactly what I mean. Buyun people never misjudge people."
