The Ghost Doctor Hongyan of Huayin Jianghu

Chapter 121

Yi Pu bit his lip, didn't say anything, but held Fang Yun's hand even tighter.

Having finished what was to be said, Leng Xuanmo turned around and prepared to leave.When he reached the door, Leng Xuanmo stopped.He stood at the door without turning around, but his tone was cold and emotionless: "Xuanyuanhong asked this man to investigate the Lengjiabao, did he really want him to contribute to the Jinlu Clan?"

"What do you mean by that?" Yi Pu's palms were sweating a little.

"I just want to tell you that with Xuanyuanhong's martial arts, he can't easily get close to me. He knows best what will happen if this powerless man fights against me—"

After Leng Xuanmo finished speaking, he left without looking back.Before leaving, he said something to the servant with his lips. Hearing the words, the servant suddenly turned pale, with disbelief written all over his face.Leng Xuan was expressionless, like the coldest ice.

"Perhaps letting this man die is Xuanyuanhong's real purpose."

Every word, like an ice knife, pierced Yifu's heart with a knife.Move mountains.Lee Village.

Leng Xuanyu rode a horse and strolled along the dry country road.Withered grass was overgrown on both sides of the road, and several dead pheasants lay in the cracked soil, and the corpses attracted several crows.A few beggars in tattered clothes fell under the tree, looking as if they were sleeping, but also seemed to have no life.

Leng Xuanyu frowned, looking around at this miserable scene, his heart was filled with indescribably mixed emotions.In the most affluent town in the Central Plains, he has seen too much luxury and wealth, and has also experienced open and secret struggles among the nobles of the Central Plains.But this miserable scene made him feel deeply shocked for the first time.

Surviving on dry mountains with drought and lack of rain is a contest between human beings and nature. In the face of the overwhelming power of nature, human beings are undoubtedly the losers.

In the distance came a man wearing a straw hat, the brim of which covered his cheeks, making it difficult to see his face clearly.He walked on the dry trail step by step, faltering.

"Excuse me—" Leng Xuanyu called out to stop the man: "Where is Li Village?"

Hearing this, the man raised his head slightly, his eyes were dull and lifeless.He glanced at Leng Xuanyu expressionlessly, as if he didn't hear it, he continued to walk forward.

"Hey, please wait a minute—" Seeing that the man was about to leave, Leng Xuanyu jumped off his horse and stopped the man in his path: "I'm going to ask you again, why did you leave?"

The man raised a pair of dull eyes, looked at the man from top to bottom, raised his withered fingers and pointed to the front, and said in a very hoarse voice: "The front is Li Village."

Leng Xuanyu glanced at the dry and cracked mountain road, except for withered grass and trees, there was no one inhabited.He asked uncertainly: "Is there really a village? I don't think this place... doesn't seem like a place where people live?"

The man glanced at Leng Xuanyu, and his hoarse voice was even more sad at this moment: "Where are there 'people' living here, they are just some 'living dead' waiting to die."

After all, the man turned around and limped away as if he didn't want to talk to Leng Xuanyu anymore. Leng Xuanyu looked at his leg and realized that one of the man's legs was a prosthetic limb made of rotten wood , the eyes seem to be a little dull.

Silent for a while, Leng Xuanyu got on the horse and continued on the road.

As the mountain path gradually opened up, Leng Xuanyu's vision gradually became clearer.A few withered thatched houses gradually appeared on both sides of the road, crumbling.Occasionally, one or two people will pass by, all of them are haggard and emaciated.

In front of a collapsed dilapidated thatched house, a middle-aged man was whittling a piece of wood. The head of the wood had already exposed a sharp edge, and the man was still chopping slowly one after another.
