I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 137: The Ghost Eating the Human Fetus

Qiu Sheng looked at Chen Qingyuan.

Chen Qingyuan nodded and said, "Indeed, without the help of the adjutant, it would be difficult for Fellow Daoist Lin to become the commander-in-chief."

Qiu Sheng felt that the world was changing too fast. He was still young and couldn't keep up with the pace. But it didn't matter. How could a master forget his apprentice when he got the benefits...

He saw a package hanging on Chen Qingyuan and asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, are you going out?"

Chen Qingyuan hummed, "Now that the matter here is settled, I will take the evil babies to find their parents. After asking your master, I learned that they all came from far away. I plan to travel there, and I will pass through Guangxi... By the way, when you play with the zombies in Teng Teng Town, be careful that they will come to take revenge..."

Qiu Sheng laughed and said, "Teng Teng Town is very far from here. They don't have the brains to recognize the way. Even if they jump, how long can they reach..."

Chen Qingyuan turned to look at Lin Zhengying: "Daoyou, I'm not kidding."

Seeing Chen Qingyuan's solemn expression, Lin Zhengying knew that he was not joking, so he kept this in mind: "I will set up a formation to restrain the zombies in the Marshal's Mansion. Thank you for your reminder!"

Chen Qingyuan did not get out of the car.

Lin Zhengying said to the driver: "Send my friend to the Guangxi border safely."

The driver nodded: "Yes, Marshal!"

The car slowly drove away with Chen Qingyuan. Several people watched him become a small shadow and disappear into the distance. Lin Zhengying felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He had only known Chen Qingyuan for a few days, but he had given him such a great opportunity. He had to manage it well to be worthy of him...

Zhe Gu leaned her head on Lin Zhengying's shoulder: "Brother..."

She thought that Lin Zhengying would avoid her as usual, but unexpectedly, this time Lin Zhengying's body stiffened and allowed her to lean on his shoulder.

……

……

Guangxi border.

The driver dropped Chen Qingyuan off here and then left.

Chen Qingyuan looked at the boundary stone tablet that was more than half buried in the soil. He walked forward and used tree branches and leaves to clean it up, revealing the word "Guangxi".

After passing the stone tablet and continuing to walk forward, what Chen Qingyuan saw was a desolate scene.

Although it is not yet the beginning of autumn, the trees on both sides of the road appear to be almost dry, with a few leaves hanging here and there on the branches, and the ground is covered with a large number of withered and broken fallen leaves.

When he saw the houses arranged in an orderly manner, Chen Qingyuan realized that he had entered a town.

But the atmosphere here is extremely depressing. There are clearly people walking on the street, but each of them is like the walking dead. Many people are gathered in front of a store.

It turned out to be a grain store. There were several square rice bins at the door. Inside, it was empty and covered with dust. There was a wooden sign that read "Grain Sold Out".

A middle-aged man wearing a round hat and a long gown came out of the store with a package on his back. When he saw the skinny villagers guarding the door of his store, his face suddenly became gloomy. He sighed and said, "Fellow villagers, food is in short supply everywhere now. Not to mention our town, there is no food in other places. All the food is in the hands of the rich and powerful..."

One of the villagers shouted out, "Boss Huang, you are a man of great power, please help us."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The price of grain in other places has increased from 1 silver dollar to 3 silver dollars. I know it's not easy for everyone. When there is grain, for everyone's sake, not only did I not raise the price, but I lowered it. I sold it for 10 cents and 10 catties. I didn't make any profit, and I even lost money...

I know it’s not easy for everyone in this world, but even I can’t get rice at a normal price. Everyone, pack up and run away if you can. Now, in addition to the lack of food, I also heard that there are zombies in Teng Teng Town, in groups, and many people have died..."

After he finished speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd with his bag on his back and walked quickly towards the town gate...

Chen Qingyuan passed him by.

The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Qingyuan and said, "You are a friend from out of town, don't go any further, or you will die."

Chen Qingyuan: "Thank you."

Seeing that he didn't seem to stop, the middle-aged man shook his head, quickened his pace and left.

Chen Qingyuan communicated with the evil babies through the Merit Banner and learned that they were aborted by several women in Liushui County, Guangxi. They placed the unformed babies on the baby-sending boat and let them drift with the current. Finally, they drifted to Guangdong and were picked up by Lin Zhengying. He found that they were extremely resentful, so he sealed them in a clay doll and worshipped them...

The Republic of China also had maps, but ordinary people didn’t have them.

But Chen Qingyuan had it on his phone. When he opened it, he saw that Guangxi and Guangdong covered a huge area. It would take at least 500 kilometers to drift from Liushui County to Wufu Town in Guangdong, and he couldn't deviate or get stuck...

But even if there are ghosts and gods, drifting for 500 kilometers without getting stuck doesn't seem that magical in comparison.

"Wang! Wangwang!"

There were several skinny dogs, growling at each other and tearing at something.

One of the dogs succeeded. It held a piece of dusty and highly rotten meat in its mouth and ran wildly on the ground. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the alley...

That meat...

Chen Qingyuan saw it clearly, and couldn't help but think of Edith's parents whom he saw in the ghost mother world...

This place has become like this.

You should know that in the Marshal's Mansion in Wufu Town, all kinds of delicacies from land and sea were served at the beginning of the game, and there was no sign of food shortage at all.

Transportation is very inconvenient in this era.

Bullock carts were a common means of transportation, while green trains were only long-distance transportation for the rich. A car or train would take a day, but a person would need ten days, a half month, or even longer to walk...

Chen Qingyuan walked to the door of the grain store, touched the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, looked at the people who were about to disperse and said, "Everyone can come to me and get a handful of rice. Only one handful per person, no matter if they are adults or children."

He was carrying a small bag.

Everyone couldn't figure out where to store so much food, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother, don't tease us."

When Chen Qingyuan stood up after squatting behind the rice bucket, he was carrying a sack of rice in his hand.

As for daily necessities like food, drink, housing and transportation, as long as they are useful, he would just buy some and pile them up in the tear mole space. Even if he put a mountain of rice in it, it would not take up much space.

These rices were the glutinous rice purchased in the "Murder Case" in the previous world. I originally wanted to use them as materials for the Lushanzhu evil magic, but I didn't expect them to be useful here.

Everyone was very excited and came up to get the rice.

Chen Qingyuan only bought 200 kilograms of glutinous rice, so he naturally couldn't let them take whatever they wanted, so he shouted: "One handful per person. If you violate this rule, I will not give you any rice!"

People immediately started lining up to get the rice.

But in every place there are always some people who don't like to follow the rules. As the rice in the rice bucket slowly decreases, some people in the line immediately start to become restless, some cut in line, some queue up repeatedly, some bring basins, and there are even a few people with fierce looks and bad intentions.

The team gradually became chaotic...

Chen Qingyuan had a good memory. He reached out and grabbed the wrist of an old woman and said, "Sister, you just took one. Even for the sake of the children around me, I gave you an extra handful. If you take another handful, it will be against the rules."

His hands were like pliers.

The old woman felt pain and was shocked. She didn't expect the young man in front of her to be so strong. She knew she couldn't afford to offend him, so she quickly took the child away...

Chen Qingyuan shook his head. He was not some great good man whose light shined upon the world.

Passing by this small town, I saw that people here have a hard time.

He just happened to have it, and these people just happened to want it, so he would do his best to help them. If he is asked to make everyone rich, then sorry, goodbye!

You can do it, but you can't be forced to do it.

At this moment, a man stood in front of him, holding a sack in his left hand and a basin in his right hand, scooping rice into the rice bucket... Chen Qingyuan: "..."

He held the basin and said, "Friend, you don't seem to hear what I said."

The man struggled to break free from Chen Qingyuan's hand, threw the basin away, and the rice inside spilled everywhere: "Fuck you, an outsider brought two grains of rice and now wants to control the people in our town! Folks, we can't let outsiders bully us..."

Chen Qingyuan smiled.

He looked at the people still queuing and said, "I can't bear to see you suffer, so I am helping you with my meager ability. If there are still people who hold the same view as this friend and want to snatch food in an impolite manner, then please stand to the right of this friend and let me see what I am doing."

The man glanced at the team, and immediately several people stood out, all with smirks on their faces.

They are all bullies in the town.

Chen Qingyuan nodded: "Anything else?"

Several idlers in the team who usually did nothing stood up...

The man saw more than a dozen people standing behind him, and he immediately felt majestic and said domineeringly: "Stranger, you have to listen to us when you enter our town. Don't think you can do whatever you want!"

He noticed that Chen Qingyuan had been keeping his head down, frowned, and his eyes fell on his hands, and he couldn't help but tremble.

The other party was holding a long rifle in his hand. Such a big thing was longer than the bag on his body. How did he hide it on his body?

"boom!"

Chen Qingyuan raised his rifle and shot the man between the eyebrows, then pulled the bolt to eject the shell!

The sound of gunfire stunned everyone.

The bully team suddenly panicked.

"Brother, no no, sir, don't do this..."

Chen Qingyuan didn't say anything. He pulled the trigger and shot the man who called him "uncle" to death. He pulled the bolt again, aimed, and bang, like a ruthless shooting machine.

The bullies and street urchins finally reacted.

A few of them were relatively close and tried to grab the rifle, but Chen Qingyuan didn't have enough time to aim and was shot dead at an extremely fast speed...

Now that Lin Zhengying became the commander-in-chief, it was perfectly convenient for Chen Qingyuan to get a few rifles and some bullets.

The remaining people tried to escape, but were all shot one by one and fell to the ground.

Chen Qingyuan took out the Merit Banner and stuck it into the ground next to Mi Dou. He placed the rifle on the table to the right of Mi Dou and gently tapped the Merit Banner with his left hand: "Collect!"

Come in, a dozen VIP guests!
The eerie aura of the Merit Banner spread, and the smell of blood diffused in the air.

Chen Qingyuan smiled and looked at the people: "Don't be afraid, you can continue to collect rice..."

Many people in the team were frightened and left secretly, but a small number of the elderly, the weak, women and children remained. They were starving and were the ones who really needed rice...

There was a twelve-year-old girl with a dirty face but bright eyes. She held the rice in both hands, said thank you, and then turned and left.

Among so many people who received rice, only this girl said thank you.

Chen Qingyuan looked at her again.

The rice ran out quickly.

He continued on his way.

After leaving the town, the road conditions were still good. Chen Qingyuan took out his bicycle and prepared for a two-wheel ride. Even if there was no train, with his current physical strength, if he rode non-stop at an average speed of 60 kilometers, the distance of 500 kilometers would only take less than ten hours.

He sat on the bicycle, took off the rifle on his back, and casually aimed at a bush behind him: "Come out..."

It was the little girl who said thank you.

Chen Qingyuan put away his rifle: "What do you want to do?"

The little girl mustered up her courage and said, "My name is Chuqi. Brother, wherever you are going, I want to go with you."

Chen Qingyuan didn't have a loli complex, let alone a twelve-year-old child. He said, "I'm alone. I can't even take care of myself, so how can I take care of you? We are not destined to be together. Our fate has ended when we met today. If you force yourself to follow me, there will definitely be a time for us to part!"

He didn't have to lie.

When traveling through the world, there will always be separation.

The little girl's eyes lit up and she said, "It's okay, I can take care of people! I'm already twelve years old, I can wash clothes, cook, and chop wood. Even though I look skinny... I'm really capable!"

yes……

In the old days, people could get married and have children at the age of fourteen.

In the countryside, washing clothes, cooking and doing farm work have almost become standard skills for a wife.

Chen Qingyuan looked at the girl's bright eyes and said, "I am a Taoist priest. I am going to Liushui County, Guangxi to settle some grievances. It may cost lives. Aren't you afraid?"

The girl licked her dry lips subconsciously and said, "I'm not afraid!"

Chen Qingyuan released the Merit Banner, surrounded by dark clouds, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and said: "I carry many evil ghosts with me, you are not afraid?"

The girl's face was as pale as paper and her hands were shaking.

She tried hard to hold back and said, "If these ghosts...are transformed from those people killed by the Taoist brother in the town, then...then I am not afraid. The Taoist brother can kill the bullies alive, and he can also kill the evil ghosts..."

"The seventh day, right?"

"Yes."

"Come if you're not afraid of death."

"Ok!"

"Come on the back of the bike."

Seeing Chen Qingyuan's agreement, the girl named Chuqi immediately became active. She climbed onto the back seat of the bicycle carefully, fearing that the iron on it would be scratched. Then she said, "Brother Taoist, I know Liushui County. I have a brother named Chuliu at home. He is a cook and is cooking for a general there."

The sixth day?

Chen Qingyuan was pedaling his bicycle when he had an idea: could it be the sixth day of the first lunar month, and also the Republic of China era?

He vaguely remembered a movie set in the Republic of China era, which told the story of a warlord named Xu who dug up the ancient tomb of the White Lotus Sect and took away gold, silver, treasures and five suppressed evil spirits.

Then the evil spirit took over the Marshal's four concubines and a servant girl, making them pregnant with demon fetuses, in an attempt to bring disaster to the world.

The protagonist is named Chuliu, who is a cook in Marshal Xu's mansion. He invites a wizard named Qinghai to fight against the demon fetuses and successfully kills four of them, but when the last demon fetus is formed, the wizard is cut in half and dies.

The aura of the protagonist on the sixth day of the first lunar month took effect. At the critical moment, he used the juice of the golden Buddha to draw a talisman and killed the last demon fetus...

The whole show is dead from beginning to end.

Whether it was the Marshal, his concubine, servants, or mages, they all died, leaving only Chu Liu alone. It was a bloody scene...
