I maintain law and order in the feudal world

Chapter 98

Besieged by evil spirits, ordinary people in Cambay City are afraid, but they are a little more rational than before, especially the people in the south of the city, they know that these hideous and terrifying evil spirits are not invincible demons , They are monsters that people eat poison and turn into. In the final analysis, they are people, and they can be defeated!

There are also those who have knocked out evil spirits with 067 and 068 before, all gearing up, they can't wait to knock these evil spirits with no energy but no brains and lock them up.

But there are too many evil spirits outside the city, and it is impossible to open the city gate, so they can only stay at home and wait.

Of course, there are also people who are afraid. Such people account for the majority. As the days of the evil spirits besieging the city get longer and longer, the atmosphere in the city becomes more and more dignified. Some people were sent out to appease the people on the street. There were already many crises outside the city. If the city was not stable, it would really be impossible to hold on.

Among the five areas, the painting styles in the south of the city are different, perhaps because they have had the experience of facing the evil spirits. After being appeased by the moat team, many people took up sticks. People began to learn how to subdue evil spirits.

"Brother Ming, there is no need for us to appease you in the south of the city."

The three members of the guard team stood aside and watched the people's practice in full swing. These three people were Ming Jiu, Shorty, and Xiao Yao, the back cooks of the city guard team in the south of the city. to their heads.

Ming Jiu took a deep breath and said: "It is enough to prove that our appeasement work is in place. Under our influence, they summoned up courage to fight against evil spirits. In their hearts, we must be the embodiment of courage and strength. We stand here to fight against evil spirits." Their greatest appeasement!"

"Please let it go."

Ming Jiu reflexively turned sideways, a man walked out behind him with a stick, took two steps and suddenly turned around to look at Ming Jiu, Ming Jiu immediately raised his head and winked at the dwarf and Xiao Jiu: Look, this is prostration to Ming Jiu. The fanboy under my trouser legs.

Man: "I see that the three of you have been standing here for a long time with nothing to do. Do you want to join us?"

Mingjiu: "..."

Shorty & Little Tow: Brother Ming, he doesn't seem to know us!

Ming Jiu squeezed out a smile: "Sir, don't you know what we do?"

The man nodded: "I know, you are wearing the clothes of the moat team, the moat team."

He added: "But now we can't go out, seeing you are so boring, how about practicing with us?"

Mingjiu: "!"

Ming Jiu gritted his teeth: "No need!"

The three of them slipped into the alleyway, and Xiao Tuo said, "Brother Ming, they really don't seem to know us."

Ming Jiu said angrily: "I don't believe it! I have done so many things, it is impossible that no one will not remember me!"

As he said that, he went out and bumped into a little girl. He knelt down and asked, "Kid, do you know me?"

The little girl looked at him timidly, and finally grumbled: "Wow—the big villain, Mom, there is a big villain here!"

After finally comforting the little girl, Mingjiu wiped the sweat from his head and said unhappily: "Big villain, what a big villain, I'm obviously wearing the clothes of the moat team!"

He asked the dwarf again: "Where am I like a bad guy?"

The dwarf carefully pointed to Mingjiu's face and head. Mingjiu was tall and tall, and his face was considered good-looking, but the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and his face was sharp and angular. He looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. His hair has been messed up all year round, making him look more like a villain.

Putting the mirror in his pocket, Mingjiu snorted and said to them: "I'm so handsome and didn't know me. It's their eyes that have problems. We go to the east of the city. I don't believe the eyes of the people in Cambay City. It doesn't work!"

It was already afternoon when the three of Mingjiu arrived in the east of the city. Halfway they went back to the south of the city to make lunch, and cleaned up the back kitchen before arriving in the east of the city. Once they arrived in the east of the city, they realized something was wrong. There were not many people on the street, and when I was wondering, I saw two moats walking towards them, shouting loudly as they walked: "The situation outside is critical, everyone stays in the house, close the doors and windows, don't go out! "

I understand, the original method of appeasement in the east of the city was to prevent these people from coming out, but it is only mid-afternoon, the sun is still high, and the evil spirits outside the city do not know when it will be resolved. Hiding at home will only amplify the fear of the people.

Emotions are better to be blocked than to be sparse. A ignorant repression will only make the emotions get bigger and bigger. Mingjiu and the three walked over to reveal their identities and expressed their thoughts, but the other party didn't appreciate it. The moat team pressed us out to appease the people and maintain order. We did it. Your city south moat team also wanted to take care of the affairs of our city east. You didn’t pee and look in the mirror. Does the city team compare?"

One of the city guards looked Mingjiu and the others up and down: "If Yangwu, your south city guard team, comes, maybe I'll sell you some face. Who are you three?"

The other guard shrugged their noses, approached Mingjiu and the others to smell it, and asked in surprise, "What's the smell on you? You three are not the back cooks, are you?"

The three of Mingjiu were silent. Last time, the three of them had done meritorious service, but they offended Su Laien, a great nobleman, and saw the deputy director's face in front of the deputy director in the north of the city, so don't say they were promoted later. It was their luck that they were not kicked out of the moat team, so naturally they could only continue to work in the back kitchen.

The two moats looked at the three of them contemptuously, then continued to yell and walked away.

Mingjiu walked silently, the dwarf and Xiaojiu followed behind him, no one spoke, and after a while they came to a house, Mingjiu knocked on the door, there was the sound of procrastinating footsteps inside the door, and soon the door creaked Open it, the gray-haired herbal picker and doctor Bu old man said without any surprise: "Come in."

The three of them walked into the room, the windows in the room were wide open, and bright light came in, and there was a large pile of medicinal herbs in different categories right in front of the window.

Old man Bu asked the last little boy to close the door, walked to the medicinal materials and said, "Those old guys just left. Since you told us about the sachet, we have been studying the medicinal powder until now... nothing .”

"How come?" Ming Jiu was a little surprised, "You can all research the ingredients of the antidote, this is just a sachet!"

The old man Bu smiled, picked up a little poke powder and said: "That's because we have all seen and smelled the medicinal materials in the antidote, but the powder in this sachet has a smell that we have never smelled before. The smell is strong, and it should be It's the main control, but we old men don't know what it is, and there's nothing like it in Cambay City."

He put the powder back into the small bowl and said, "There is nothing we can do."

Ming Jiu smiled: "It's hard work for you, it's fine if you can't study it, I have a good news for you, Lin Liuqi and Lin Liuba won the first place in Banlai's advanced training, they brought us a lot of gunpowder, we can't pass In a few days, when they arrive, they will be able to show us a way!"

Old Man Bu smiled: "There is no unparalleled road in the sky."

Coming out of old man Bu’s house, the dwarf and Xiaojiu recovered, pulling Mingjiu to laugh and laugh, suddenly a thin sound came from the house on the side of the road, the three of them walked over and found the place where the sound came from—a wall, Ming Jiu asked, "Who is talking?"

Across the wall, a child's voice came from a hole the size of an index finger. The child asked softly, "Big brother, why are you outside?"

Mingjiu: "If you want to be outside, then be outside."

The child asked again: "Brother, are you not afraid of evil spirits? Grandma said that evil spirits are coming in soon, we must hide at home, but I have been hiding for many days, I am so hungry, I really want to come out to play ah."

The three of Mingjiu looked at each other and felt that something was wrong. Mingjiu asked: "Children, the evil spirits are all outside the city now. They are tightly blocked by the city gate and can't get in at all. Tell your grandma to open the door. We Keep guard at the door and there will be no evil spirits."

The three of them waited quietly on the other side of the wall. After a while, they heard the child running over. The child's voice was a little panicked. ignore me."

Mingjiu: "Go to the door and open it now, let's come in and take a look."

The child cried: "But I can't open the door, grandma put a big cabinet against the door, woo woo woo—"

In the end, Ming Jiu and the others broke the window with great difficulty before entering the room. There was only the child and his grandma in the room. The room was fairly tidy, but the child's grandmother was lying on the bed and had lost her breath.

They took the child and the old man to Old Man Bu again. The child's grandmother could not be saved, and the window of the child's house was smashed by them. Mingjiu and the three had to entrust the child to Old Man Bu first. They were going to send the corpse of the child's grandma to the moat team, but the child refused to let go, so old man Bu had no choice but to put it with him temporarily. As a doctor, he was not afraid of the corpse, nor did he feel bad luck.

After doing all this, the three of them were silent, and after a long while, Xiao Tuo said, "I don't know...how many more...such things."

The three of them sighed in unison.

……

In a small room, the doors and windows were sealed tightly, and it was daytime outside, but it was as dark as night inside. A woman put a bowl of food on the table in the dark and said, "Eat, I don't know. When will this life be the end, there is not much food at home, we have to save food."

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and a man sprang out from the corner. He leaned against the door and listened carefully to the movement outside the door. After a while, he said, "It's okay, it's not an evil spirit."

Following his words, there were three relieved voices in the room, and the woman couldn't help but said: "Master, what's the situation outside now, I haven't heard any evil spirits in the past few days. It seems that some people are walking outside, can we go out?"

The man pondered: "The moat team sends people to notify us every day, telling us not to go out. I think the situation outside must be very bad. Have you forgotten? Everyone went to the night market last time, but what happened?"

The woman didn't speak. She insisted on going to the night market last time. Fortunately, she listened to the man and came back early, otherwise it would be over.

"But master, can we really block the evil spirits if we seal the doors and windows?"

"That's the only way we can."

"Mom, there is a voice." The child lying on the bed said suddenly.

The couple listened carefully, and they heard a voice that gradually became clear——

"...Hey, Boss, you said this city is really strange! Why don't these people come out?"

"Hey, why else? I'm afraid of evil spirits."

"Evil ghosts? What's so scary about evil ghosts? They're not all transformed by humans. We've heard about it in the north of the city. It's said that the guard team is making an antidote to turn all the evil ghosts outside the city into humans one by one. !"

"What is this? Even if you can't turn into a human, evil spirits are nothing to be afraid of. All the evil spirits in the city that night when I didn't see the night market were subdued by a few guards and a large group of ordinary people. These evil spirits are If you have more strength, you don't have any brains at all, as long as there are more people, you won't be able to knock one out!"

"Hey hey hey, boss, you are right, but now the evil spirits are outside the city gate, they can't come in!"

"That's right! But we still have to be careful. If the evil spirits rush in, it's safer to hide, but it's okay to come out occasionally to let the wind go."

The voice gradually faded away, and the room was silent for a while, the woman said: "Master, is what people outside are telling the truth?"

The man didn't speak, but the woman suggested: "Master, why don't we go out and buy some food, even if we stay in the house, we still have enough food!"

The child said softly, "Dad, I want to go out and play."

The man gritted his teeth: "You wait, I'll go out and have a look."

The man summoned up his courage, removed the three doorposts behind the door, opened the door carefully, and poked his head out for a careful look. Then he turned his head and saw the neighbor next door poking his head out of the door. The two looked at each other and opened the door Standing up straight and walking out, the man said, "Long time no see."

The neighbor smiled awkwardly: "Long time no see."

The neighbor scratched his head: "It seems that the evil spirit hasn't come in yet."

The man pretended to be serious and nodded: "Indeed."

Several doors opened around them, all familiar faces staring at each other in embarrassment, only to find out that the evil spirit hadn't entered the city at all when they went out, so their hiding and hiding a few days ago was like a joke.

After walking halfway to the east of the city, seeing that it was getting late, the three of Mingjiu hurried back to the south of the city, but what they never expected was that on this night, evil spirits appeared in the east of the city.
