Si Shao opened a pair of gray eyes without focus, and his long silver-white hair was scattered, walking in eternal darkness in the muddy. No images, no sounds, just ...... Purgatory.

On the neck that was scratched by Amber, red pus was already emerging. He didn't feel the pus, but he didn't feel how hot and itchy, so he didn't scratch it with his hands. The pus, as horrible as they looked, weren't as wicked as the pustules on Ammi's body.

Si Shao walked to his house in a bump without realizing it.

But before he could enter the courtyard, he was blocked by a figure......

Dawn.

Baili Feiyu woke up in Hu Yan's bed.

Hu Yan was nowhere to be found.

After being stunned for a while, Baili Feiyu suddenly jumped out of bed, got dressed, put on his shoes, ran out of the room, saw Duobao who was boxing in the courtyard, and asked urgently, "Do you see Hu Yan?" ”

Duobao put away his fist and hugged Baili Feiyu and said, "Miss Hu just went out." ”

Baili Feiyu hurriedly said: "Where did she go?" ”

Duobao said: "Just now, the gongs and drums were beaten outside, saying that they were going to burn the plague god by the river, and they would return a peace in Liuhe County." When Miss Hu heard this, she ran out. ”

Baili Feiyu frowned, and immediately said, "Go!" Let's check it out too! ”

Duobao said entangledly: "Young master, Miss Hu said, let you go back to the mountain, we will ......"

Baili Feiyu was willing to listen to Duobao's words, and he had already run out like a gust of wind.

Duobao couldn't, so he had to follow closely and chase after him.

A large number of people gathered by the river, and everyone craned their necks to look at the man who was tied to a wooden stake and erected on a pile of wood—Si Shao.

With gray eyes, gray hair, a dirty face with dried blood, and a neck covered with red pus, it looked terrifying. His eyes were obviously open, but the whole person seemed to have lost his spirit, and if he died, he was motionless.

The female crown held the dust in her hand, stood on the temporary platform, and said to everyone: "Evil and wild beasts are rampant in Liuhe County, and everyone can see it. In order to return a peace to Liuhe County, Poor Dao risked his life and finally caught the plague ghost in the evil spirit! With a flick of the dust, he pointed at Si Shao, "It's him!" ”

Nine times out of ten people are people. Although they are industrious and simple, they are also very easy to fool. Hearing the word plague ghost, they instantly panicked, and when they saw a dense red pus patch coming out of Si Shao's neck, they linked the plague ghost with the plague, and they were so frightened that they all retreated back, as if they were closer to Si Shao, they would be contaminated with the plague.

The female crown was very satisfied with the performance of the people, with a smile on the corner of her lips, and comforted: "Everyone doesn't need to panic, as long as he is burned, Liuhe County will be restored to peace." ”

Immediately the crowd shouted, "Burn him!" Burn him! Burn him! ”

The female crown said to the little female crown: "Go ahead." ”

After giving a salute, the little girl stepped off the stage, picked up the oil can, spun it in a circle and raised it on the pile of wood, and then took out the fire fold.

Baili Feiyu ran all the way, stretched out his hand, trying to stop the arson, but because he was so tired, he couldn't say a word, so he could only bend over, put one hand on his knee, and raise the other, gasping for breath.

Duobao picked up Baili Feiyu.

Baili Feiyu pointed at Si Shao and motioned to him to save people with his eyes.

Duobao just nodded, but saw Qu Nanyi hurrying with twenty servants, and shouted: "Wait! ”

The little female crown looked up at the female crown.

The female crown raised her forehead slightly, and the little female crown put away the fire fold.

Duobao whispered to Baili Feiyu: "Master Qu is here, let's talk about it depending on the situation." ”

Baili Feiyu gasped: "Aha...... Ha...... Good! ”

Qu Nan strode onto the stage, stood in front of the female crown, and said in a deep voice: "Under the rule of this official, no one in this Liuhe County has dared to blatantly set fire to people!" This female crown, don't you want to give this official an explanation? ”

The female crown saluted Qu Nanyi and said, "My lord asked knowingly." Evil chaos and wild beasts are rampant, and adults must be seeing it. If this plague ghost is not removed, Liuhe County will be plagued all over the place, and corpses will be everywhere, dare to ask adults, as the parent official of Liuhe County, how can you give everyone an explanation, and how can you afford this responsibility? ”

The female crown doesn't talk about herself, but only talks about the people, as if everything she does is for the people of Liuhe County, invisibly, pulling the people to her side and standing on a united front. This move is too clever.

Sure enough, as soon as the female crown's words fell, the names of the people turned their heads one after another.

"The female crown is for our good, this plague must be burned! Otherwise, the plague will run rampant, and you and I will not be able to save our lives. ”

"What is the intention of this Lord Qu to obstruct the burning plague ghost?"

"Shh......h Whisper. ”

"I'm afraid of him! If your life is gone, what officials are you afraid of! ”

As soon as Qu Nan heard everyone's words become more and more intense, lest he couldn't control the scene, he immediately raised his voice and said: "If Nasiao is a plague ghost, this official will be the first to set fire to him and kill him!" ”

As soon as Qu Nan said this, the people were satisfied, and the restless voice gradually became quieter.

Qu Nanyi looked at the female crown and said, "However, if he is just an ordinary person, the female crown will burn him to death, and the official must not sit idly by!" ”

Qu Nanyi's voice was loud, so that everyone was automatically silenced.

The female crown knew that Qu Nanyi was delicate and eloquent, but she had to suppress Qu Nanyi. It's just because the person she really wants to deal with has already appeared.

Hu Yan sat on a tree trunk opposite, watching everything that happened here.

The female crown restrained her mind and said: "Poor Dao heard that this Si Shao is the guard of Lord Qu, could it be said that Qu Nanyi would rather not care about the lives of the people than protect him?!" ”

The words of the female crown caused the crowd to start to stir up again. Because, in their hearts, they have already decided that Si Shao is a plague ghost. Qu Nanyi's words and deeds are all to protect Si Shao. Such a county lord who cares no about their life and death is simply a beast!

Qu Nanyi motioned for everyone to be quiet, but no one listened. Someone even sneaked out of the fire and wanted to light the firewood drenched with oil.

Seeing this, Li Dazhuang immediately led the officials around the fire and shouted in unison: "Retreat!" ”

Villain retreated slightly, looking like he didn't dare to continue to make a second, but in fact he was waiting for the opportunity.

It is not unreasonable for Qu Nanyi to hate priests and the like the most. If these people who pretend to be gods and ghosts want to harm people, they are on top of thousands of troops. But there is no one to deceive people's hearts.

Qu Nan squinted his narrow eyes, glanced at the female crown suspiciously, and then looked at everyone, and said loudly: "You are all the people of Liuhe County, and you are all the people I Qu Nan swear to protect to the death!" Raising his hand and pointing at Si Shao, "If it is one of you who is tied there today, I, Qu Nanyi, will also stand here and fight for him!" There is a national law in everything, how can you listen to the words of one person, and you will shout and fight! Pointing his finger at the people at random, "If this female crown points casually and says that you, you, you, are a plague ghost, do you recognize it?!" ”

The three people who were pointed out immediately shook their heads into rattles and said, "Don't admit it!" The villain is not, how can you recognize it? ”

"That's it!"

"Yes, I don't recognize it!"

Qu Nan smiled and said: "In this way, shouldn't we give Si Shao a chance to defend himself, and also ask the female crown to come up with evidence." ”

The people nodded their heads and agreed: "Yes, yes, that's the truth." ”

Qu Nan smiled more and more kindly, making people feel that this parent official is really intimate and good.

The female crown saw that Qu Nanyi wanted to harm her own affairs, where was she willing to do it, but she had always kept her hands behind, and how could she be easily controlled by others. So, she said: "What Master Qu said is very true, then please ask Lord Qu to ask the plague ghost." ”

Qu Nan faced Si Shao and shouted loudly: "Si Shao! Whether you are the official's guard or the plague ghost, you can tell everyone. ”

Si Shao's eyes were hollow, and he didn't react to Qu Nanyi's shouting.

Qu Nanyi frowned slightly, and shouted again: "Si Shao! You might have heard the officer?! ”

Si Shao still didn't react.

Qu Nanyi jumped off the stage, picked up a stick, stabbed Si Shao through the wood, and said, "Hey, you are talking!" At this time, this is not the time to make trouble! Hu Yan doesn't come to save you, as soon as I Qu Nan comes, don't tear down the stage, let me take a lifetime of fame, and I will not be finished with you! ”

In fact, Si Shao has always been in a state of chaos, but as soon as Qu Nan poked and shouted at him, he slowly recovered some of his senses. Especially when Qu Nan shouted Hu Yan, his body stiffened slightly, and he actually regained his sense of hearing. It's just that he still doesn't want to speak. He didn't want Hu Yan to save Hu Mi, nor did he want Hu Yan to save himself, he was a little disgusted that he couldn't let go of Hu Yan, thinking that if he died like this, he didn't have to be so tired, caught between the clansmen and Hu Yan. This kind of liberation is full of helplessness and bitterness, self-deprecation and hopelessness, and ...... Be downhearted.

When Qu Nan saw that Si Shao was still half-dead, he was so angry that he directly slapped him with a stick.

The stick with thick fingers broke in response, but Si Shao didn't blink his eyes. Like, dead.

Qu Nanyi threw away the half-piece stick in his hand, lifted his robe, stepped onto the stage, and said to the smug female crown: "Some people sleep with their eyes open, presumably Si Shao is also caught in a maze, and he can't wake up for a while. ”

The female crown took out a yellow talisman and said with a smile: "My lord, there is a yellow talisman here in the poor road, but if it is pasted on the evil body, it will have miraculous results." With a flick of his wrist, he hit Si Shao.

Hu Yan secretly said that it was not good, his body jumped up instantly, and flew towards the stage, and at the same time he curled his fingers and popped out his true qi, wanting to destroy the spell.

However, the female crown suddenly pulled out another spell and slapped it on Qu Nanyi's chest.

Hu Yan's breath was suffocated!

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it is not a question of who hurts, but ...... The question of who is weaker.

If this spell is a "ghost splitting talisman", if it hits the body, it will definitely go to Qunan for a life! However, Si Shao has an internal force to protect his body, which will minimize the damage.

Almost without hesitation, Hu Yan changed direction and separated the female crown and Qu Nanyi with her true qi, and she immediately stood between the two.

The "Ghost Splitting Talisman" hit Si Shao's body, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared as if he had been struck by lightning: "Ah! ”

At the same time, black smoke erupted from his body, and a blue-faced and fanged monster appeared on his face.

The terrifying face, coupled with the heart-rending roar, made people shudder. At this moment, who else believes that Si Shao is a person?!

Speaking of the people, even the officials were frightened and retreated one after another.
