Chapter 138 Disaster
"Is there anything else?"
The girl asked in an old and hoarse voice.
"The disciple also met the descendant of the Ghost Witch lineage. She called himself Zhu Wule to Wu Mian, saying that she was Zhu Wuyin's sister."
"Ghost Witch lineage? What did they come to Langzhou for?"
"I don't know, but when she saw the disciple, she fled, and just told Wu Mian that Langzhou is the place where it started."
"Langzhou is the place to start... Haha! That's right. Forget it, you don't need to worry about this, the Ai family will deal with it."
"Apart from this, the disciples have nothing to do."
As Zhuge Qing's voice fell, Wu Mian found that the mirror surface was once again rippling dark ripples, and then reflected Zhuge Qing's old face. Behind that face was the bright and brilliant starry sky and the moon covered by his head.
It’s indeed Old Man Zhuge. Who is he in contact with?
Ai family...this self-proclaimed interesting.
When I was watching TV in my previous life, the empresses and queens who had died claimed to be the Ai Family, but the reality in this life is that no empress would call herself the Ai Family, and she claimed that the Ai Family was just a fabrication of the play.
However, this title also has its origin. I remember Brother Quan, who had lost his book bag, mentioned that the word Ai family comes from "Li". There is a passage in "Miscellaneous Notes" of "Li" to be called filial son and filial grandson, and mourning son and filial son and filial grandson. Later generations forced to compose the word Ai family on the empress and empress dowager.
Could this woman with a beautiful face and a voice like an old lady is the queen and the queen mother? Or is she fascinated by watching the show?
But what did she do with Langzhou? Is the court very concerned about the locust plague in Langzhou?
Also, she said that there was a remains of her child in Dapo County... Dapo County, according to Magistrate Lu, it was abandoned more than ten years ago. How old is she?
Old Man Zhuge seems to be in his fifties and sixties, sixties and seventies. As his master, he should be older than that, right?
I was seventy or eighty years old? I couldn't tell much, but the sound was so old, so it should be like this.
If this is the case, after seventy or eighty years of cultivation, her cultivation will be terrible!
The cultivation in this world is achieved through time, and as the master of Old Man Zhuge, her skills should not be bad. After seventy or eighty years of hardening, her skills may be higher than those of the master!
And unlike the master who is good at head-on combat, she is of the same lineage as Old Man Zhuge, who wants to come and fight with someone, she hides behind the underworld, which is even more terrifying than the master!
And such a terrible person actually knows me and still cares about me... Old man Zhuge, Old man Zhuge, what do you think?
With constant speculation, Wu Mian unknowingly fell asleep.
The battle with the big peng and Zhu Wule has almost exhausted his mind. He could have sobered up with his inner excitement before, but after stabilizing his mind, his boring thinking made his consciousness become more and more drowsy.
But he just felt that after he glanced for a while, he felt that someone was pushing his body.
Opening his eyes, he saw Dongfang Hong, who had a gentle face, frowned and pushed him: "Mr. Kong, Lord. Kong, wake up! Lord. Kong..."
"Young Master Dongfang... cough cough..." Rubbing his head and sat up. Wu Mian found that his mind had only recovered less than halfway. He also saw that the sky outside seemed to be dark, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"What else can happen? Didn't you ask the grain merchant to come here to find you? The Lu County Magistrate and the others are here too."
After hearing this, Wu Mian frowned, pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed it hard for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Is there any problem with my appearance?"
Although he came back yesterday and went to bed without washing his face, he couldn't guarantee that he still looked like Kong Wenxuan.
Dongfang Hong stared at his face for a moment and said, "I didn't take off my makeup yesterday, so it's not a big problem, but I'd better put some makeup on you. After all, some places are dirty, and it will look strange if you don't apply, and it will easily wipe the makeup on your face if you apply it. Or you can use the round light illusion mind technique to cover it up."
Wu Mian nodded and said, "I am not familiar with the use of the round light and illusion mind technique that Mr. Zhuge taught me. If you have Jinwu coming over, it is easy to be seen. You should make up some makeup for me. By the way, where is Mr. Zhuge?"
"He was chatting with Lu County Magistrate and others downstairs." After Dongfang Hong finished speaking, he walked to the side and took out a small box, then pointed to the basin towel on the table and said, "You wash your face first, and then use the round light and illusion mind technique to reflect Senior Brother Wenxuan. I will put on makeup for you in comparison so that there will be no mistakes."
"Then I'll trouble you. By the way, how do I deal with my voice?"
"I can help you do it like last night."
After washing up, he used the round light illusion mind technique to reflect Kong Wenxuan's image and let Dongfang Hong disguise her makeup. When Wu Mian asked when Dongfang Hong was putting on him makeup and disguise, "Did you find out what happened yesterday?"
"I didn't ask much, I only know that there are more and more disaster victims in southern Langzhou. Some villages and towns have moved to the north, and many people have died."
"A lot of people have died? Is it because of food problems? Or is something else happening?"
Langzhou cannot grow much grain. The closer it gets to the south, the more dependent it on grain merchants to transport grain. Now the locust plague is serious, and it is becoming more and more difficult to transport grain. Wu Mian doesn’t feel strange because of the shortage of food. What he is worried about is the chain reaction caused by the shortage of food!
For example, in order to compete for a bit of food, a group of people had a dispute, leading to quarrels and even martial arts.
This will not only waste energy, but will also cause a series of panic, making people distrust each other and cherish their food more and more. Once there is a problem, they will use force to promulgate them, making more and more violent incidents, leading to disaster victims turning into mobs or even beasts!
This is also a practical thing recorded in history books!
The victims can be dealt with properly and can be resettled. The mob may need to use the army to suppress them, otherwise it will easily affect the residents of stable areas and make the disaster worse. If people become beasts... Wu Mian thought of the cannibalism station in Xihua Town.
"The food problem must exist, but it is not only a food problem. According to a person who fled here from the south, there are two villages who have good relationships, so the food storage locations in their two villages are the same. However, after the locust plague came, they fought for the distribution of the food storage, and many young, strong, dead and disabled people."
Wu Mian felt a little cold.
"Where is that person?"
"He said he belonged to Hejia Village. It seemed to be affiliated... affiliated..."
"Close to Shui County." Wu Mian gave the answer when Dongfang Hong didn't think of where Hejia Village belonged.
Yesterday, the county magistrate Lu Wu said that the south of Jinshui County was eaten by locusts. When Wu Mian was looking at the map, he paid special attention to the situation near Jinshui County and recorded the names of some villages and towns, and Hejia Village was one of them!
The disaster may have reached an uncontrollable point!
The postman in Kangda City was yesterday... Hewei Town, Dagui County, who came to Hewei Town the day before yesterday, brought the news that locusts were eaten south of Jinshui County. The magistrate Lu County also inferred that Jinshui County should have been eaten too.
In this case, before the Kangdacheng Postman came here, Jinshui County should not have been affected by the disaster, and the victims generally would not run faster than the Postman. However, he knew that there was a village in Jinshui County fighting, resulting in casualties, which should have happened earlier!
Earlier, there was a conflict in Jinshui County before it was affected by the disaster. Now the disaster has covered Jinshui County. What will Jinshui County become?
What will it look like south of Shui County?
The more I thought about it, Wu Mian felt headache and... panic.
This is not a problem he can solve!
Not to mention him, even if Kong Wenxuan comes here, there should be no way!
My kiss elder brother, you have given me a huge problem!
"Young Master Dongfang, can Mr. Zhuge use spells to solve the locust plague?"
"The master does not know how to use this kind of magic, but he seems to know a master who is good at using insects...it seems to be called Long Hao."
"Can Mr. Zhuge invite him over?"
