Chapter 248: Escape from Guicheng
In the middle of the night, the parents couldn't find their playful children and were not too nervous. They asked Guigui for help and took the children home. This kid-catching team, with Xiaopang as the main force, has a special event where the city is full of weird people and people are being caught.
When outsiders who didn’t know the truth saw this situation, they just thought that the monster had finally revealed its most ferocious minions and attacked the people.
“Let me out, let me out!”
At the gate of the city, the frightened outsiders cried and wanted to leave the city.
The soldiers at the city gate couldn't laugh or cry, and tried to persuade them earnestly: "It's time to close the city gate, and today is a special day. You really can't leave the city at this time."
Outlander: "There are ghosts! There are monsters! They are Eating people! Eating people!"
City gate soldier: "The monsters in the city don't hurt anyone, unless they are evildoers."
"You are in a group, you are not human! "The out-of-towners are close to collapse.
The city gate soldiers were angry and funny, but they could understand the mood of the outsiders. After all, they were not from Beiyuan City, and they had never seen or received the miraculous blessings of the night wandering god.
The city gate soldier was proud of being a native of Beiyuan City. This pride made him more patient with outsiders. He didn't care when he was scolded, and explained in a warm voice with a smile: "If the weirdness really hurts people, , how can you come here, you have already been eaten in the city."
Outsiders can't listen, "Let me out, I want to leave here, leave here."
< br>The soldiers at the city gate didn't care about this.
The outsider used threats and inducements, but was unable to impress the soldier. In the end, he stayed in the corner of the city wall and refused to leave.
Fortunately, there is a stove burning in the city gate, otherwise the physique of foreigners sleeping in such a cold night will cause serious illness even if they don't die tomorrow.
Seeing how pitiful he was, the soldiers at the city gate couldn't persuade him, so they called their colleagues to go to the duty office to get a blanket to wrap him up.
The foreigners who experienced the frightened scenes on the street were moved to tears by such a small act of kindness. They wished they could hold the hand of the city gate soldier and let him spend this terrible night by his side. .
Of course the city gate soldiers did not agree to this plan, but the city gate soldiers could not accompany him, so the man's desire to be accompanied was still fulfilled.
Because more and more people fled in the middle of the night, yelling or yelling like this man to leave the city. After being rejected, when they took advantage of the crowd and started to make trouble, the city gate guards did not take action. The lanterns turned to look at them. One had the words 'Ankang' and the other had 'Feng Nian' written on them. The fonts changed into vague facial features, and tongues of fire spit out from the cracks.
“……………………”
A group of people huddled together and huddled like quails.
The soldiers guarding the city looked at each other.
Although but.
These outsiders look a little pitiful.
The night passed.
At first light, diligent people are already going out to work, and the city is still thriving.
The guests who got up early in the teahouse chatted about everything, and naturally they talked about last night.
When the sky got brighter and there were more and more pedestrians on the street, I saw that the door of the Chinese medicine shop in the city was full of people.
Looking carefully, most of the people who came to buy medicine and seek medical treatment were dressed as young men. They said that their masters' symptoms were all cold, evil, palpitation, and excessive fright. Looking at their own faces, they looked haggard. His eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were black and blue, which was no better than fearing the master they said he was.
The pharmacies that were consulted for medicine all understood the reason. After prescribing a medicine pack to calm the nerves and remove cold, they sympathetically and kindly told them, "If you still don't feel better after taking these medicines, then go Please go to Siye Mansion or the temple. The side entrance of Siye Mansion is the entrance and exit of the night tour class and the part-time children in the mansion. Some part-time medicine boys have been able to make longevity medicine powder, which has miraculous effects on your illnesses."
< br>
"You don't have this longevity medicine powder here?" the boy asked.
The drug store owner said: "I have some, but not much, so I have to keep it for myself."
He said it calmly and directly. The waiter was dubious, "I'll buy it at a high price."
The drug store owner waved his hand, "No."
There is no drug store that doesn't sell medicine. The boy felt that the boss still wanted to raise the price on the spot, and he was annoyed for a moment, so he took the medicine package to soothe the nerves and ward off the cold. Leave.
Coincidentally, among the boys who came to this pharmacy to buy medicine, there was the businessman who bought medicine powder from Chen Erya yesterday.
The businessman who was still teasing his friends yesterday is now leaning on the bedside with a pale and blue face.
After a long while, the boy prepared the tranquilizing medicine and brought it to him. The businessman frowned and drank it, but he still didn't feel good. The boy did not go out with his master last night, but stayed in the inn to take care of things. Fortunately, he escaped from being frightened and sick. At this time, seeing that his master was still not energetic after drinking the medicine, he told his master what he had seen on the road and at the drug store.
The businessman felt very complicated when he heard that there were many foreigners who had the same problem as him.
If it weren't for his poor health, he would have wanted to leave Beiyuan City immediately.
When I heard the boy mention what the drug store owner said, the term "Jushou Medicine Powder" seemed familiar to the businessman.
He thought hard and finally remembered that this was what he bought from the little girl's stall.
With the memory picture, what the little girl said and what happened in the teahouse also emerged.
The businessman called to the boy, "Where are the clothes I wore yesterday?"
The boy said uneasily: "I haven't taken it to be cleaned yet. I'll go now..."
The businessman interrupted, "Hurry and bring it to me."
The boy didn't understand his master. Meaning, go and get the dirty clothes back as he ordered.
Because he was too frightened last night, the businessman also fell down during the trip, so his clothes were stained in many places.
As if invisible, the businessman rummaged through his clothes and found the medicine powder packet he bought yesterday from the inner pocket of his sleeve.
Not bad, not bad.
If these clothes are washed, they will be useless.
Just to find something, the businessman hesitated a little.
Can the things in this scary ghost town really be good?
As this thought passed through his mind, the businessman thought of the royal team witnessing the consecration of the temple in person. The horrific scene last night did indeed lead to no loss of life, so...
The businessman fixed his gaze, opened the package of medicinal powder, and ordered the boy to pour a glass of water.
The girl selling the medicine only said that it can be taken orally or applied externally, but did not explain in detail how to take it internally. Soaking it in water should be okay, right?
The businessman poured the medicinal powder into a small portion of the water cup, and then drank it all with courage.
After taking the potion into your stomach, you can feel your body getting warm the next moment, and your aching and chaotic mind feels relaxed.
The businessman stared at the empty water glass in disbelief.
The boy next to him saw his master's face improve more intuitively, "Master, your face looks..."
"What's wrong?" the businessman asked.
The boy was surprised and said: "Not so white anymore." It was as if he had drank warm wine and his face was rosy.
The businessman asked him to pour a glass of water again and mix the medicinal powder into it as he did last time.
The originally weak body regained its strength, and he took the remaining medicine powder packet as if it were a treasure.
Then he sighed and stood up to get dressed.
The boy was surprised and said: "Master, are you okay!?"
He saw that the medicine powder packet in the merchant's hand was also glowing.
The businessman nodded, packed up and went to his friend's room.
Although the medicinal powder is a treasure, my friend is more seriously ill than me. This medicinal powder can save my life, but at this time, I cannot ignore my friend's life for the sake of the treasure.
There are not many people in this situation like businessmen, but they are not few either. Once they found out that the things they accidentally bought from the people of Beiyuan City were really treasures, their moods were completely different from before.
One moment, I wanted to escape from Beiyuan City early, but at this moment, I was full of curiosity about Beiyuan City, excited and shocked by her mystery.
