Chapter 130: The Moment of Despair (3)
All the way deep, what you see is dead or dead, other than that, all kinds of poultry that have begun to rot and maggot.

Commander Yan tremblingly went to look at the dead who couldn't recognize their faces, and searched for the missing Prince Fengluo during the long and heart-pounding torment.

The night fell quickly, and Mutian Village was plunged into darkness.When it got dark, it was naturally inconvenient for them to investigate further. Commander Yan had no choice but to order the soldiers to cut out an open field, set up a bonfire, and rest on the spot.

That night, Imperial Physician Shi and Dongfang Yu reached a consensus for the rare first time, and asked Commander Yan to take some medicinal materials from the shipment, boil them into juice in several large pots, and then share a bowl with each of them.

Judging from what they checked during the day, it was true that people in this village died after being infected with the disease, so it was very necessary for them to drink some preventive concoction to strengthen their resistance.

The unnerving first late night in Mutian Village came quietly.

Xia Xue didn't feel sleepy, she knew that the closed-eyed girl next to her was just taking a nap.

"Miss Yu?" Xia Xue lowered her voice and said softly, "Are you asleep?"

"No." Dongfangyu's lazy voice revealed a hint of worry. She was trying her best to show calmness so as not to spread panic among the soldiers.

"You can't sleep either, do you want to talk about something?"

Xia Xue opened her mouth, but said something light-hearted, but her brain seemed to be emptied suddenly, as blank as a sheet of paper, and she couldn't find anything to amuse Dongfang Yu.

"Xia Xue, don't be too nervous, we have already taken sufficient protective measures, and nothing will happen." Dongfang Yu comforted, "If we search the village tomorrow and find no living people, then you ..."

Xia Xue quickly interrupted her, and resolutely said: "Girl Yu, the main reason why we came here, Xia Xue understands in her heart, if the girl doesn't say it out, let it be kept in her heart, as long as I don't see him, I don't care Will go back."

She paused for a moment, with rare firmness in her eyes, and said slowly, "Although the place where his accident happened is nearby, maybe he's not here at all."

Dongfang Yu sighed silently in her heart. Since Xia Xue had expressed her attitude so firmly, she had to swallow everything else she said.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the unreachable sky, feeling a little restless in her heart.She doesn't care about the prince's life or death, she only cares about that person, and coming to this plagued village is just a way.

Mobai?Mobai?Where are you?

Xia Xue was silent for a while, gritted her teeth secretly, and said slowly and tentatively: "Miss Yu, actually, do you know that the young master is very..."

Xia Xue was halfway through, when she suddenly realized that she couldn't continue.Because the girl who was tossing and turning next to her just now had fallen asleep peacefully, she had no choice but to shake her head and close her eyes trying to make herself fall asleep.

The long and tormenting night finally passed, and when the sun light slightly revealed the horizon, many of them couldn't wait to open their eyes and jumped to their feet.

Maybe it's because I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep soundlessly in my sleep, and I won't be able to see the morning sun alive.

Dongfang Yu looked at those anxious and inexplicable faces, and felt a little emotion in his heart: the plague is really a terrible thing in this era.

Death, when it comes to the end, everyone will be afraid!

After eating dry food, Commander Yan stood in front of the soldiers and said slowly: "Everyone put on protective clothing. Today we will continue to search the village to see if there are any survivors in this village."

Looking at the dead and silent village, everyone's heart was covered with haze. Under the command of Yan Commander, the soldiers were divided into several small teams, and went from house to house to search tremblingly.

Dongfang Yu squeezed his somewhat sore legs, and sighed silently in his heart. Who said that Mutian Village is a small village with a scattered population and a terribly large area. The end of the village.

Maybe it was because they saw too many dead people, and the expressions on everyone's faces gradually changed from initial shock and fear to numbness and sluggishness.

They searched for survivors from house to house, but after most of the day, in the houses of those residents, either the whole family was dead, or there was not even a ghost.

Although Dongfangyu felt strange about this situation, he didn't have the heart to explore the reason at the moment.

Dongfang Yu and Commander Yan walked slowly all the way, and arrived at the door of a very generous resident.

Looking up, the door on half of the yard was slanted open, and there was still no trace of human smoke. The only smell they could smell was the familiar and disgusting smell of rotting meat.

Xia Xue frowned, and stepped forward to support Dongfang Yu who was already tired; Yan Tong was a few steps ahead of them, pushed open the half-open door with one hand, and walked in with his legs.

The yard was very shabby, but it was cleaned very cleanly. There were a few tall plane trees planted in the yard, but not a single fallen leaf could be seen on the ground.

There was a slight chill in Dongfang Yu's heart, he quickened his pace, and followed Commander Yan into the main room.

As soon as Commander Yan entered the main room, he seemed to have encountered a thunderbolt suddenly, and stood in the doorway blankly.

Xia Xue coughed lightly at the moment, reminding him to get out of the way.

However, Commander Yan didn't seem to hear it, he still stood at the door dumbfounded and remained motionless.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart sank. To make Commander Yan so abnormal, it couldn't be the one who died in the house, right?

"Commander Yan?" She called out tentatively.

The man in military uniform didn't respond like a wooden man.

Dongfang Yu was a little angry, and his delicate and sweet voice was boundless and cold, and he raised his voice and said indifferently: "Commander Yan, what exactly did you see? Can you please open the door first?"

"what?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Oriental girl, I'm rude, please come in."

The girl pursed her lips, took a big step, and squeezed in through the gap he made.

There were two or three dead people overlapping in the hall of the main house. With just one glance, Dongfangyu knew that they were also infected with the plague and died.

Narrowing his eyes and taking a closer look, Dongfang Yu couldn't help being startled. The only difference between these dead people and those villagers who also died of the plague was that the clothes they were wearing were the clothes of the palace guards.

No wonder Commander Yan behaved so abnormally. It turned out that the guards accompanying the prince died here.

Prince...

With the thought, Dongfang Yu's heart shrank suddenly. She ignored Commander Yan who was still in a daze, and quickly walked around the guards who had been dead for many days, and went to each room.
