Chapter 50 Tragedy fills the land

Outside Taiyang City, there were people from other counties who were infected with the disease.

Because the soldiers at the city gate blocked the way, people were only allowed to leave but not enter, resulting in a large number of patients from other counties gathering here.

Some patients had even been there for a few days, and they were sitting in an open space outside the city, making a fire and cooking.

And more patients are still walking along the road.

These patients from other counties lined up in a long queue on the road, and the line seemed to stretch to the horizon.

"Cough cough cough..."

Violent coughing sounds occurred one after another among the patients.

Apart from this, there were only the crying of children and the groaning of the elderly in pain.

Some patients fell to the ground and could never get up again before they even reached the city gate.

The air was filled with the nauseating stench of pus and blood oozing from the pustules on the patients' bodies.

There are too many patients coming.

It was even so much that it exceeded the limit that Taiyang City could bear.

So every once in a while, the officers and soldiers would let in a group of patients.

This also led to a large number of patients blocking the city gate and begging the officers and soldiers:
"Master, please let me into the city! My mother is dying, and she can be saved if we get into the city!"

"I have silver. Please let my family enter the city next! As long as we drink the magic water, my whole family will be saved!"

"I've traveled two hundred miles to get here. I want to enter the city! I want to join the Taiping Dao! I want to drink the talisman water!"

……

People were shouting, begging, and crying.

The patients further out could only watch it all silently.

It was crowded and crowded.

Being able to enter the city seems to have become the hope for survival for these people from other counties.

In the distant wilderness, the bodies of some people from other counties who died of illness were thrown together randomly.

Some wild dogs and a large group of crows were fighting over the dead body.

Lu Tianxing widened his eyes.

Such a scene made his scalp tingle.

He really didn't expect that the plague would infect so many people.

He could not even imagine that if the Great Sage Master had not appeared, where would so many desperate patients find hope?
Now that Taiyang County has a great and virtuous teacher, everything is recovering.

But what about other counties?

Just look at these people from other counties who have come here from thousands of miles away, and you will understand the hardships they have suffered.

Was he really wrong?

maybe……

"Excuse me, are you from Taiyang City?"

An old woman carrying a baby on her back and hobbling with a cane came to Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui.

"Please, could you two please bring out some talisman water?"

"I'm old, so I don't mind dying. But my little grandson is only one and a half years old. I just hope he can be saved. He's so young, he shouldn't die like this."

"I kowtow to you two!"

As the old woman spoke, she was about to kneel down tremblingly.

Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui hurriedly helped the old woman up.

They took a look at the baby in the cradle on the old woman's back and saw that the baby's face had turned blue and he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to cry. Only his breathing was as thin as a thread.

If not treated in time, the baby might not live long.

Xu Gui sighed:

"Old man, there's nothing we can do."

"We have offended the Taiping Dao, so we can't get the talisman water at all."

"Especially now that people are only allowed to leave the city but not enter, even we can't go back."

Upon hearing this, the old woman covered her face and cried in despair.

She was skinny, with silver hair dancing in the wind.

Lu Tianxing looked up at the sky.

The sky is gloomy and a heavy rain is coming.

There are so many patients outside the city now and they don’t even have a place to shelter from the rain, especially the frail elderly and children. If they are caught in a heavy rain, who knows how many people will die tomorrow.

Perhaps the old woman and grandson in front of me will become two corpses tomorrow.

Lu Tianxing suddenly felt an unusual sadness in his heart.

He suddenly burst into laughter, and then started crying.

This laughing and crying look attracted the attention of people around.

"I was wrong!"

“Hahahaha…I was really wrong!!!”

He looked like a madman.

The people of this world just want to live a good life.

Whoever can keep them alive will be loved by all people and be blessed by God!

If the government makes it impossible for such people to survive and for these common people to live, then the government is the one who is committing rebellion.

It was such a simple truth, but he only realized it at this moment.

He always thought his daughter was stupid.

But the daughter believed that what she was doing was saving the world, so she continued to do it as usual.

On the contrary, I am hesitant and timid.

After receiving someone's favor, they choose to betray because they are afraid of getting into trouble.

I am the most shameful one!
Lu Tianxing's head buzzed, and he felt his blood boiling.

He reached out his hand and took the baby from the old woman's back: "Old man, please trust me."

"I, Lu Tianxing, will definitely save your grandson!"

The old woman had no time to express her gratitude.

Lu Tianxing, however, ran towards the city gate holding the baby in his arms.

He rushed into the crowded crowd, holding the baby and pushing forward.

When he squeezed in front of the officers and soldiers, the sharp antlers of the deer were lying in front of him.

"Let me in!"

"This child is in critical condition and won't live long!"

Lu Tianxing shouted.

However, the officers and soldiers raised their hands and shouted:
"There are many people who want to enter the city to save their lives. They must enter in batches according to order!"

"People from Taiyang County must be treated first, and then people from other counties can be treated."

Lu Tianxing was stunned.

At the beginning, he was the same as these officers and soldiers.

When he first met the Great Sage Master and invited him to Lujia Manor, he also deliberately arranged for the people of Lujia Manor to receive treatment before it was the turn of the rest of the outsiders.

Everyone has selfish motives.

But Lu Tianxing only now understood more and more how much damage his excessive selfishness had caused.

If he had not betrayed the Taiping Dao, it would have been easy for him to save a baby with his influence in the Taiping Dao.

But now, he was stopped outside the city gate and could not enter.

Lu Tianxing said anxiously:

"Master Jun, I understand your duties."

"But I only want to save this one baby. Please be kind."

"Look at this child. If he's not treated in time, he's probably going to die!"

The officers and soldiers still guarded the city gates firmly and fulfilled their duties.

They raised their spears to intimidate anyone who dared to trespass.

Seeing that he was unable to persuade the officers and soldiers, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath in sorrow.

"If it was my fault that delayed the Great Sage Master from treating the patients, many people would have died from the illness."

"Then I, Lu Tianxing, am willing to sacrifice my own life today to save this baby's!"

Lu Tianxing knew that it was he who caused the Great Sage Master to be imprisoned, resulting in many patients not receiving treatment for many days.

If Lu Tianxing had not done this at the beginning, then perhaps the Great Sage Master would have cured these patients from other counties by now.

The baby in his arms will not face premature death.

Many more lives have been lost due to delayed treatment.

When he thought of this, Lu Tianxing felt more and more remorseful.

Immediately, Lu Tianxing concentrated and said solemnly:
"My lords! I'm going to force my way through the city gate!"

"You have a duty to fulfill. If you want to kill me, I have no complaints."

"I only hope that after I die, I can take this child to Taiping Dao for treatment!"

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing held the baby and walked towards the spears of the officers and soldiers.

Xu Gui entered the crowd and said anxiously:

"Master Lu, why would you want to die for someone you don't even know?"

But Lu Tianxing was determined to leave.

He couldn't bear the mistake he had made and couldn't face so many patients.

He let down everyone's hopes and hurt too many people.

At this moment, he only wanted to use his ability to save at least one child, so that he could die peacefully.

His heroic manner of preparing for death finally moved everyone around him.

I saw several men and women with long swords shouting:

"My dear brother, you are so kind!"

"We, the Red Fire Sword Sect of Qingzhou Prefecture, are willing to lend a hand and escort you and this child into the city!"

Immediately, these men and women drew their swords and pointed them at the officers and soldiers:
"We warriors have practiced martial arts for over ten years just to help the weak and the needy today!"

"Get out of your way!"

They were so moved by Lu Tianxing's act of saving the baby that they no longer cared about the hostility towards the officers and soldiers.

When the officers and soldiers heard that a martial arts sect had also intervened, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Lu Tianxing was very surprised.

He knew very well that he was not noble and was just trying to atone for his sins.

However, the situation was beyond their control. After these warriors jumped out, more and more people followed suit and wanted to rush into the city.

The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they clenched their spears.

It seems that a conflict is about to break out between the two sides!

Sudden--

I saw a long yellow flag fluttering over.

A group of people wearing yellow scarves came in formation under his command.

Leading the group was a girl in red, also wearing a yellow scarf. She was riding a tall horse, looking very majestic.

"It's someone from the Taiping Dao!"

There was an immediate cheer from the crowd.

"People from the Taiping Dao are coming, we are saved!"

"That's the Divine Envoy! It's actually the Divine Envoy himself!"

"We beg the Lord of the Gods to grant us the talisman water and save us!"
