Chapter 72
Although the rain passed, the sky was not clear.

Although the black clouds had dissipated, the sky was still gray and the sun was gone.

The heavy rain for a day and a night directly turned the land into a flood country. When the three of them went out, they found that the water in the yard was no more than ankle deep.

Instead of staying in this deserted village, Li Ye took the two of them and quickly ran towards Qinghe County.

This time, it was the old man Tong who carried Zhang Cheng on his back.

After all, with Zhang Cheng's moving speed, he couldn't keep up with the other two, and it would take too much time on the way.

The terrain of the official road was slightly higher, and there was no standing water at this time. After Li Ye and the old man Tong came to the official road, they let go of their speed and ran quickly.

On the way, Li Ye saw several villages that had been completely flooded by the rain.

These villages are all located in low-lying places, and those areas have long been turned into lakes for water storage.

The world has changed drastically, and all living beings are suffering, and Li Ye has no ability to change anything.

All he can do now is to take care of those around him.

Nearly halfway through the journey, Li Ye and the old man Tong stopped suddenly and slowed down.

At this time, a group of villagers came to the end of the official road.

In this group of villagers, most of them are no different from ordinary peasants, but some middle-aged men in the outermost are all carrying bows and arrows and holding short knives, obviously they are not ordinary people.

Of course, although these people were armed with weapons, they did not threaten Li Ye and the others at all. They slowed down and just wanted to find out the identity of the other party first.

At this time, although the women in the crowd were already tired, they still started whispering when they saw the three people coming towards them.

When Li Ye moved his ears, he heard the conversation on the other side.

This group of people were actually people who escaped from Jintang County!
Jintang County is at least [-] miles away from Yishan County. Such a large group of people will have to walk for at least three days and three nights to get there. What kind of big change made them choose to leave their hometown and come here.

Facing this group of migrating villagers, Li Ye stopped at a distance of 600 meters from the other party, and asked loudly, "Friends in front, what happened in Jintang County?"

"Wow~" Hearing Li Ye's words, there was an uproar on the other side.

The distance between the two sides is so far, how did he know that he was from Jintang County.

You must know that at a distance of 600 meters, ordinary people can't even see the face of the opposite person clearly.

Could it be that their discussion was heard by the other party just now?What a horror sound!
Li Ye just showed his hand a little, and told the other party not to look down on him any more.

"The strong man in front, many people died inexplicably around our Jintang County. Some people who understand said that this is evil. We are powerless to resist, so we can only relocate with our family." A tall old man in the opposite crowd replied loudly.

really.

When Li Ye saw this group of people, he guessed this possibility.

People in this era, if they can't survive, how can they choose to leave their hometown.

Li Ye didn't know how to tell the other party.

Do you want to tell them that you have come to the wrong place, there are also evil spirits here, and there is no peace you are looking for?
So what's the point of all the suffering the other party has suffered during this time?

What if the other party has taken root in this area and there is no evil attack.

In the end, Li Ye chose to leave a hope for the other party.

Without saying anything, he directly led the old man Tong across the other side and continued walking towards Qinghe County.

Seeing that the three left without saying a word, the group of people in Jintang County couldn't help but look at each other, confused.

However, this was not the time to delve into the intentions of the three of them. The old patriarch gave an order, and the crowd moved forward again.

They had to find a place to live during the day to stop and have a good rest, otherwise the old man and the child might suffer serious health problems.

On the other side, a trace of confusion rose in Li Ye's heart.

Seeing the leopard in the pipe, since there are traces of evil spirits in Jintang County, which is five hundred miles away.The other surrounding counties should not be able to escape either.

What happened to this world? If the whole world has become like this, is there any hope for the continuation of the human race?

The old copper man next to him seemed to feel the bewilderment in Li Ye's heart, sighed, and comforted him: "Xiao Ye, there are ways to live in prosperous times, and there are ways to live in troubled times. Don't think too much. There are no natural disasters, and Man-made disasters, they will work hard to survive."

Li Ye forced a smile, didn't say anything, just hurried on his way.

You need to work hard even to survive, what kind of world is this?
……

On the other side, in Qinghe County, the Sun family in the east of the city.

At this time, a young servant wearing a blue-gray cap was reporting the information he had obtained to an old steward of the Sun family in a low voice.

The cause of the incident was that the Sun family lost a few pieces of extremely scarce metal materials, and the master's family was furious, so all the servants and servants were sent out to inquire about the news.

And because the servant's uncle's family lived in the south of the city, he chose the south of the city as his first stop to visit his uncle's family.

After arriving at his uncle's house, his uncle asked him why he was leaving the house this time, and then he talked about the situation of the Sun's family, and asked casually if there was anything unusual happening nearby in the past two days.

In fact, he just asked casually, without any expectations.

Unexpectedly, his uncle's expression suddenly became very strange.

Then, under his questioning, his uncle told what he knew.

The night before, the sound of blacksmithing in a nearby blacksmith's shop lasted until late.

Some gang members came over to say hello and told them not to go out and talk nonsense.

The servant who heard the news couldn't help but get excited.

If he really finds the thief who stole the materials, then he will be promoted one step higher, and he will be highly valued by the steward.

However, this servant is also a cautious person. Instead of going directly to Sun's house to report the situation, he went to the blacksmith shop to inquire, but the other party denied it.

Not only that, there were several members of the gang guarding the blacksmith shop, and he didn't dare to act rashly by himself, so he came back to report what he found.

Hearing what the servant said, the old steward couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

He knew what the master's family was thinking. Although he was furious at home, he didn't actually have any hope.

The thief who stole the material is not a fool, he should have slipped out of the city long ago, how could he choose to forge weapons in the city.

If such a loophole is left, aren't they afraid of their Sun family's revenge?

But no matter what, since things have progressed, he still has to report to the master.

After a word of encouragement to the servant, the old steward went straight to the back house, leaving only the servant here, looking forward to what kind of reward he would get...
