Chapter 414

The frightened man kept shouting “There’s a ghost”. Just as he was about to be controlled by the crowd, two more people felt someone blow on their necks at the same time.

“There’s a ghost!”

Screams of terror resounded through the night sky. The three people in different positions of the rope chains began to run around at the same time, completely disrupting everyone’s pace.

In the chaos, people kept falling and being stepped on. Terrified wails kept ringing out.

Although MO Ruyue had personally planned all of this, she still couldn’t help but feel emotional when she really watched this scene from the side.

When a man was afraid, there was no need for a woman.

The Mountain Valley gradually quieted down, and when it completely returned to normal, it was already an hour later.

A group of people lay on the ground, lying on their backs and panting heavily.

“Where, where did this ghost come from! All of you… You’re just scaring yourselves!”

“But… But someone’s blowing on the back of my neck!”

“There’s someone behind you, maybe… Maybe it’s not strange to feel someone blowing on you when you get closer!”

“But… But I’m the last one. There’s no one else behind me!”

After the series of conversations, the Mountain Valley once again fell into a strange silence.

After a long while, the magistrate slowly sat up. He had been stepped on a few times in the chaos, and his body was still sore, but his condition was slightly better than before.

“We’ve fallen into someone’s trap. Their goal is to keep us here.”

He finally regained his rationality and thought through the entire situation.

“But… The transparent wall we just encountered and the breathing at the neck, how did they make it?”

Everyone had personally experienced this, and they couldn’t see or touch it. They didn’t see anyone causing trouble, so they felt that ghosts and gods were more reliable.

“Do you still remember what the refugees said about a man and a woman with strong martial arts skills among the survivors? Some peoples martial arts skills are so fast that it’s hard for us to see their figures.”

“I think this should be a warning from those two people. We should stop here.” The county government’s analysis finally convinced the uneasy subordinates.

Perhaps this was really a warning from a pair of experts. And all they could do now was to immediately stop, give up their original intentions, and return to the city.

After resting for a while, everyone slowly got up and limped out of the hill.

This time, no one mentioned food again. In fact, they were already lucky enough to survive.

In the chaotic period after the natural disaster, all laws and ethics were facing collapse, just like what they had originally planned to do.

Even if the survivors really did have some food left, after they robbed it all, would those dozens of old and weak women and children still have a way to live?

Everyone knew the final outcome, but in order to continue living, almost everyone tacitly acknowledged and ignored the consequences.

After the group had left the mountain, MO Ruyue came out of the space.

“It’s a pity. If that County Office was in another city and could wait for help to arrive, he would definitely do something for the people. It’s just that he’s already turned black now. Only the people in his city are human, and the others are already walking corpses…”

She clearly realized that the county magistrate had some mental problems, which could be classified as a form of emergency PTSD.

However, she didn’t have time to treat his illness now. She only hoped that he would be on his own in the future.

MO Ruyue looked at the group of people’s backs and sighed in her heart. Then she turned around without hesitation and chased after the survivors who had already left.

Just as he turned around the corner, a black shadow came to greet MO Ruyue.

It affectionately rubbed its head against MO Ruyue’s body and snorted continuously.

“Big Black? Did Ying ask you to pick me up?”

MO Ruyue reached out and patted its nose, then immediately turned over and mounted the horse.

It was probably Gu Ying who had let it out and asked it to take her to them.

During the day, they could follow the tracks left behind by the crowd, but at night, it was inevitable that they would make mistakes.

Although she and Gu Ying had already decided on the escape route, Big Blacks presence saved her a lot of effort.

After half an hour, MO Ruyue could already see the fire in the distance. They had arrived at the abandoned village.

“Lady Qin is here!”

There was still some distance from the village entrance when a person emerged from behind a large rock by the roadside. It was one of the survivors.

“Hmm, did he arrange for you to be on guard? You’ve worked hard.”

MO Ruyue smiled and greeted him.

From the looks of it, it was probably Gu Ying’s arrangement.

Now the survivors were already like birds startled by the twang of a bow, they could no longer withstand the threat of any wind or grass.

‘Young Master Ying is in the village. He said that he was waiting for you to return. You should go over quickly.”

The man then added, “By the way, Brother Deng is awake.”

“Deng Feng’s awake?”

This was good news.

After MO Ruyue nodded, she urged her horse to rush back to the village.

Most of the houses were occupied. Some people had long been tired and immediately fell asleep as soon as they had a safe place to stay.

Some people were too shocked and their tense nerves could not relax, so they could only sit around the fire to keep warm and kill time.

Gu Ying randomly picked a house that looked very clean. Even in the face of an escape situation, the courtyard did not seem messy or dirty. It was only covered with a thick layer of dust, and could be moved in after a little cleaning.

He had long heard the sound of Big Blacks horse hooves, so he went to the courtyard gate to welcome them. As expected, he saw MO Ruyue slowly walking out of the night.

“How is it, Bing ‘Er? Those people should have suffered a lot and won’t dare to chase us anymore.”

He stepped forward to take the horse’s reins, completely doubting MO Ruyue’s ability.

“That goes without saying. I also found that you men seem to be more afraid of ghosts than women!”

MO Ruyue smiled maliciously, looking at Gu Ying’s eyes which were a little dazed.

“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I heard that Deng Feng has woken up? HOW’S his condition?

MO Ruyue only teased him once before stopping. She couldn’t bear to tease him for too long. In her heart, no matter how strong she was, she would always be the one who needed to be protected.

She was only afraid that she could not become stronger, so how could she tolerate some unspeakable shortcomings?

“He just lost too much blood. When the medicine wears off, he will naturally wake up. I’ve already boiled some medicine for him, so I’ll just warm it up and let him drink it. ‘

“That’s good. I’d be really sad if something happened to someone like Brother Deng.”

MO Ruhan rarely accepted a person easily. Even her babies had the advantage of age and status. However, Deng Feng had really gained recognition through his excellent character.

“Bing ‘Er, are you considering bringing him along in the future?

Gu Ying suddenly asked. After he saw the surprise in MO Ruyue’s eyes, a smile also appeared in his eyes.

This was the tacit understanding between the two of them. She didn’t even need to say her thoughts out loud, and he could completely understand them.

“I do have this plan.”

MO Ruyue said without hesitation.

“There’s no one else in his family now, and he’s all alone. I think he’s a good person and has a lot of strength. If we can bring him with us, we’ll have one more trustworthy helper in the future.”

“As long as you’ve thought it through) I have no problem with it. Besides, we don’t need a mouth to eat..”
