I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 14 Qinghe County · Official Road

"I had a dream at noon when the Great Taoist Ancestor appeared in my dream. He told me that the only way to survive is to go north."

The sudden sound attracted everyone's attention.

I saw a strong man in a yellow turban leading the way, and the Taoist children were all walking slowly along the street with solemn expressions.

"I was very confused at first, until I heard the roar of the constable, then I realized what was going on."

Taoist master Xuanxiao, wearing a lotus crown and a green Taoist robe, was in the center of the team, and his thoughtful words echoed.

"Everyone! If you trust me, you can follow me north, and I will protect your lives and property."

Say it.

Taoist Xuanxiao led the Taoist children and headed towards the north city gate without hesitation, with the Yellow Turban strongmen guarding them closely.

If Zhao Xun is the person with the highest prestige among all the people in the county government.

Then the Taoist Xuanxiao, who had previously performed prayers for the deceased people and soothed the sorrow in the hearts of the survivors, is the most popular person among the people.

The situation in Qinghe County is now chaotic.

When Taoist Xuan Xiao raised his arms and shouted, naturally, a hundred people responded.

The common people, like headless flies, no longer cared about Zhao Xun. Some ran around to tell each other, some brought their families with them... and hurriedly followed the Taoist master Xuan Xiao.

Zhao Xun supported the constable with guilt, and also followed closely behind the huge team.

Li Ji mingled among the crowd, his eyes flickering.

He didn't know why Taoist Xuan Xiao would incite the people to follow him, but he had some vague guesses in his heart.

First: Taoist Xuanxiao is truly a true Taoist. Even in such a dangerous situation, he still cares about the people and deserves the title of Taoist.

Second: The survival of the constable means that the demons on the official road are not strong, or there are not many of them! If they really encounter demons, these people who are traveling with them will be the best bait to help Taoist Xuan Xiao escape.

No matter what the guess is, it is just a guess after all.

These do not conflict with Li Ji's purpose of fleeing Qinghe County, and there is even a hint of coincidence in them.

Li Ji naturally mingled with the crowd and followed the team.

As the team slowly moved forward, people joined in from all sides of the street, and the people's determination to escape became more and more resolute.

Gradually, the huge team arrived at the north gate.

I saw that the huge city gate had already been pushed open, blood splattered everywhere, and corpses were lying on both sides of the city gate, all of which were the bodies of constables and yamen runners.

Many people picked up their bags and ran through the city gate in fear.

Obviously, there was no strong presence like the red-haired young man when the city gate was blocked, and the noisy riot could not be suppressed, which led to the bloody scene today.

Taoist Xuanxiao stepped over the corpses with a compassionate look on his face and led the Yellow Turban warriors and Taoist children out of the city quickly. The people rushed out one after another.

The huge team marched along the official road.

They walked straight for about seven or eight miles before stopping at dusk.

After experiencing the terror in Qinghe County these days, everyone wanted to stay as far away from Qinghe County as possible.

Unfortunately, human power is limited, and the sounds of fatigue became louder and louder in the team, so the huge crowd had to stop.

As the last rays of sunset fell, bonfires were already burning on the dark and depressing official road.

The surrounding area is covered with wild grass and rugged rocks.

The non-stop march during the day had made everyone physically and mentally exhausted. At this moment, they were sitting around the campfire in groups of three or four, looking at the starless and moonless darkness around them with vigilance and fear.

The firelight blew with the night wind, and the waist-high weeds on both sides of the official road rustled, as if something terrifying and strange was hiding in it, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Li Ji took out the cold and hard steamed buns from his bag and roasted them patiently and carefully next to the campfire.

When the steamed bun was slightly burnt, Li Ji reached out and picked it up, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

With a slight crunching sound, the burnt aroma and the softness of the steamed bun filled my dry mouth.

He chewed it carefully and swallowed it without changing his expression.

"Hey, kid! There should be some steamed buns in your bag. Take some out for me and my brothers to taste!" A rough voice suddenly came from beside him.

The bearded man stroked the black scabbard in his hand, his eyes revealing a fierce threat under the light of the fire.

There were two men in short shirts sitting around the campfire, their muscular arms exposed, and they also had some bad intentions.

"Go ask someone else for it."

Li Ji glanced at the other person and replied indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, without waiting for the bearded man to signal, his two accomplices stood up with a "Yohoo" and surrounded Li Ji.

Other people near the fire took a look and then quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look. Some even stayed away from it.

Now everyone is like a clay Buddha crossing the river - unable to save himself.

It is still unclear whether I can survive in the future, so why should I care about other people's affairs? I just need to take care of myself.

"You are a bit ignorant of the current situation. Our boss just asked you for a steamed bun. Why are you so rude? Are you itching for trouble?"

One of the men in short shirts said unhappily.

Li Ji silently put the burnt bun in his hand into his mouth, his eyes suddenly changed, and he looked over there sharply.

"What did you say?"

"I……"

The man in short shirt was stunned where he stood.

A large amount of cold sweat suddenly secreted from his forehead, and extremely strong and crazy fearful emotions such as shock, horror, etc. continuously impacted his brain and cognition.

I felt my whole body stiff and cold, as if I had been struck by lightning. My back felt cold, my hair stood on end, and I had goose bumps all over my body.

It was as if a burly, muscular man was holding a big knife and slashing at him from a distance.

next second.

Warm liquid flows out of the nose.

The man in the short-sleeved shirt wiped it subconsciously and looked down, only to find that he had started bleeding from his nose without knowing when.

Deep red!

Dazzling!

"what happened to you?"

The companion next to him looked surprised and puzzled.

"No...it's okay."

The man in short shirt lowered his head and dared not raise his eyes.

With trembling hands, he pulled his confused companion back to his original seat in an awkward manner, and whispered with the bearded man in the firelight.

Li Ji ignored the shocked and astonished look of the bearded man, and continued to roast the fire and chew the slightly burnt steamed bun carefully.

He just released a little bit of his aura, which was more than enough to intimidate such a villain.

There are all kinds of people in the team now, so it's enough to have a deterrent effect. There's no need to fight and kill, which will only cause trouble.

however.

Li Ji thought so, but others didn’t.

"You...don't do this."

Muffled and panicked sounds came from the adjacent campfire.

I saw a group of pale and skinny men gathered together, with their arms open and their clothes open, like a wall of flesh.

The firelight shone through the gaps, and one could see in the center that a girl was staggering and collapsing on the ground. Her clothes were being torn off, revealing large areas of her fair skin, and her pleading cries echoed all around.

Everyone around was shocked, and then... silence.
