Chapter 329 Weird Village
Yin Miao only thought that this was not grass, but a creeping plant similar to vines. She asked casually, "Then does this grass have a nemesis?"
Meikang was stunned for a moment, and then he replied: "This thing likes the shade, but not the sun. Once the sun hits it, it will quickly wither and die. If it's the nemesis, I'm afraid there are only grasshoppers and locusts."
"I see, thank you Mr. Mei for clarifying the confusion."
Yin Miao and the others returned to the inn after a sigh, but they did not take it to heart, and after a full meal, they set off from the inn again on the road.
It’s just that the farther we go, the easier it is for the team to encounter corpses covered with ivy. When they reach an unknown village, the condition of that village makes everyone shudder.
Under the dead trees in front of the village entrance, under the narrow eaves beside the walls, and under the flagstones in the low-lying puddles, there are lush green ivy. From a distance, this is a lively village, but when you get closer, you can feel the horror in the silence.
Beneath those lush green plants are all rotting human corpses.
"Strange, why are these people dying outside?"
Bichen didn't dare to go any further, because there were corpses overgrown with ivy on both sides of the road.
Meikang didn't quite understand. Along the way, they had seen many villages where people died of starvation, but it was very rare for so many people to die by the walls and under the trees.
"Could it be... because of this plant?"
Yin Miao boldly guessed that there are also mutant plants in the last days, but no matter how the plants mutate, they are all changed on the basis of their own habits. If you look closely at the location of these dead people, you will find that they are all in dark and damp places.
"Miss Yin, do you mean that plants can control the dead to come to these places? Isn't this fine?"
Xie Yongshou only thought this statement was too absurd.
"It's really unlikely."
Lin Yannian just wanted to leave this place quickly.
"Why does A Miao think so?"
As soon as Xiao Xuan's words came out, no one in the surrounding discussion dared to refute anything.
The daughter of Duke Yin, who is beside King Xuan, has never been in everyone's sight before, but in front of King Xuan, it seems that everything she says is normal. The most important thing is that King Xuan will listen carefully to every word she says. talk.
"Master Fang Caimei also said that there is a possibility that the fairy tooth grass can grow on living people, so is it possible that these people were still alive when they were parasitized by this grass?"
Yin Miao said, this can also explain why these people died in such a place.
"What does Miss Yin mean, is the fairy tooth grass controlling people to come here?"
Meikang's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
"Miss Yin, Wang has never heard of such a case. I wonder why the girl would make such a guess?"
Yin Miao looked at the speaker, she remembered that this person was from the Shang Shufang, whose name was Wang Li. It is said that he had read a lot of books and covered a wide range of books, and this time he also came to record and write.
"Because...it's a barren year."
Yin Miao calmly explained her thoughts.
Even though the ivy grass appeared in the past, people at that time were not short of food, drink and strong health, and naturally they would not be affected by this plant. And now it is a once-in-a-century famine, and the people are extremely weak. If they are parasitized or controlled by this grass when they are unconscious or unconscious, it is not impossible.
After Yin's witty remarks were finished, there was silence around the scene.
"Yeah, although there have been famines before, it has never been as severe as it is now."
Meikang sighed heavily. He walked to the nearest clump of ivy and observed it carefully. However, the corpse below was severely deformed, and even only a layer of softness was absorbed by the plants on his body.
Xiao Xuan instructed Yunjiang to open an abandoned carriage on the side. After the carriage was opened, he saw a huge cluster of sagebrushes below, and Yunjiang cut down seven or seven of those sagebrushes with his saber. After eight or eight, everyone took a deep breath when they saw this.
Under that carriage were actually six rotting corpses curled up close together...
"If they didn't come and pose like this, then there's really no way to explain it."
Bichen said in shock.
Meikang also ordered people to lift the stone slabs and wooden cars from the village wall one by one, and the scene below was all without exception.
"Your Highness King Xuan, Miss Yin, this..."
Meikang believed that no one doubted Yin Miao’s words anymore.
"Remove everything and be careful not to touch the dead body."
Xiao Xuan looked at the sky, even though it was almost night, he did not intend to let everyone rest here.
is parasitic by plants, which should not be an accidental phenomenon.
As for the cover, it is also to expose these ivy grass to control its unbridled spread.
Meikang asked the officials who followed to do the same, and then everyone quickly left here.
"Have you noticed that the farther you go, the more daffodils?"
Yin Miao frowned and said inside the carriage.
"Well, maybe... Linghua City has also suffered an accident."
Xiao Xuan looked at a fairy tooth grass in his hand. It looked like an ordinary vine plant, but the leaves were slightly thicker, and the sap from the broken stem was slightly dark red.
Can grass like this really control people?
"If it is already a common phenomenon, maybe the people in Linghua City will know more about this plant."
Yin Miao took out a piece of slaughtered chicken with her backhand, and put the chicken in a large bowl and handed it to Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan understood, and then put the fairy tooth grass in his hand on the raw meat.
The two watched for a while, but they didn't seem to have changed.
"It's better to put it in the space and try it."
Yin Miao thought about it, the plants in the space grow much faster than those outside.
"Well, but be careful."
Xiao Xuan said.
Yin Miao nodded, and then took the big bowl into the space. Because she was not at ease, she also found a wooden board and fastened it on it, and Lili noticed the changes.
After Yin Miao left the space, she found that the carriage had stopped.
Xiao Xuan was standing outside with an umbrella. They found a relatively clean farmyard. The people in the back haven't arrived yet. He plans to rest here tonight.
"A Miao, don't come down."
Xiao Xuan stood outside and said.
"What's wrong?"
Yin Miao asked.
"There is a lot of water on the ground, A Miao is a daughter's body, don't get cold these few days."
Xiao Xuan's ears were a little red, but it was almost night and Yin Miao couldn't see clearly.
“…”
Yin Miao silently closed the carriage door, and couldn't help crying in her heart.
Of course, she wouldn't take the initiative to tell him that she had come to relatives, but this kind of domestic garbage can't stay in the space all the time, and she would hide and throw garbage every time during the break.
However, he still found out…
She will never forget the words Xiao Xuan asked after she came back: "What did A Miao throw away?"
