Halfway up the mountain, a group of people stumbled and supported each other, climbing up with difficulty.

As soon as Cheng Laowu and his group of young men saw them, they ran towards them.

When Cheng Zeli heard that his eldest brother had returned, he hurried over from his father-in-law's house, but he saw a scene that shocked him.

Everyone who came back from the mountain was in tattered clothes, with a pale face, sunken eye sockets, lifeless eyes, chattering teeth, and shaky legs. They couldn't even sit on a stool and collapsed to the ground, looking dazed and as if they had been greatly frightened.

Seeing their loved ones become as thin as skeletons after just two days of not seeing them, everyone's eyes were filled with heartache.

"Feed them some warm salt water first, and then heat up the wild boar meat that I left for them yesterday and serve it to them."

"The children just came back and are probably exhausted. We should wait until they have had a good meal and rested before discussing other matters."

Cheng Dafu ordered.

Everyone followed the instructions, some poured hot water, some heated up the food, some moved the tables...

A moment later, four tables of sumptuous meals were placed on the table. The rich aroma of meat invaded people's internal organs, especially the large pot of braised pork in the middle of the table. It was steaming, rosy in color, tender in texture, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy and fragrant, making people salivate.

Everyone forced themselves to swallow the saliva that was gushing out like crazy and helped them sit down at the dining table.

“Ugh! …Ugh! …!”

"vomit........!"

"vomit.....!"

"........."

The expected voracious eating did not happen, instead there was a sound of retching.

I saw Boss Cheng and his gang with pale and ferocious faces. They looked at the meat on the table as if they saw something horrible, turned their heads to the side and retched wildly.

"Take it away... take it away... take it away quickly! ... Ugh...!"

After vomiting for a long time, he only vomited out some yellow water. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Quick, take these things away."

When Old Man Cheng saw his son's condition, he hurried forward and together with Mrs. Liu, helped him to the ground, while yelling at Old Man Cheng and the others.

"Ah! Boss, Boss, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Liu screamed, laid on Boss Cheng's chest, and shook him hard while crying.

"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

"Dad, wake up and look at us!"

"Daddy, I want daddy!"

“Daddy…I want daddy…!”

The children also gathered around Boss Cheng, hugging his arms and thighs and calling him.

A large group of people fell down in the cave, and Cheng Erfu was dragged around so much that his heels almost hit the back of his head.

At this time, Cheng Zeli brought over a bucket of water, scooped a bowl for each of them, and asked them to drink.

"I put some sugar in the water. Their stomachs are empty. Let's feed them some sugar water to replenish their energy."

Boss Cheng was in a coma, with his mouth tightly closed. The little water that was finally fed into his body flowed out from the corners of his mouth. We had no choice but to pinch his mouth and feed him. It took a lot of effort to feed him a bowl of water.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Boss Cheng's face visibly regained some color, but he had not yet woken up.

After Cheng Erfu took everyone's pulse and confirmed that they were all frightened, he made a calming soup and fed it to them. Fortunately, the calming soup only required medicinal herbs that could be found everywhere.

Everyone who drank the calming soup calmed down and fell into a deep sleep. From the dark circles under their eyes, it was clear that they had not slept for the past two days.

I thought I would be fine after drinking the calming soup and having a good sleep, but I developed a high fever at noon. My face was red, like a cooked shrimp, and I kept mumbling nonsense.

“Water…water…water….”

Liu was taking care of him with red and swollen eyes. When she heard him ask for water, she hurriedly poured a bowl of water from the kettle on the table and fed it to him.

Boss Cheng closed his eyes and drank the water in big gulps. In no time at all, he finished a bowl of water.

“Water…water…water…!”

Even after he finished the pot of water, he could still be heard talking about water.

Cheng Zeli picked up the kettle and pretended to go to the kitchen to get some water, but he actually asked his daughter to pour spiritual spring water from the space into it.

It was not until the pot of water was almost finished that I heard him stop calling for water.

But he started talking nonsense again while he was drowsy.

"Oh... it's so scary... so many people... so many dead people... ah! ... so many big rats!"

"Run...run...the rats are eating people!"

"Ugh...! Rats eating human flesh...!"

Rats....dead people....

plague!

Cheng Zeli was close to him, and his face turned pale after hearing what he said clearly. He felt as if his scalp was exploding instantly. He shivered and trembled with coldness, and a feeling of dizziness almost made him fall down.

He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth several times, but the extreme fear made him feel like a thorn in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

Plague... Plague...

He actually forgot such an important thing.

It’s no wonder that he lost his composure; the plague was simply too terrifying.

The plague at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty caused the death of 2000 million people. Cao Cao's poem "White bones are exposed in the wild, and no rooster crows for thousands of miles" describes the tragic scene of the world at that time that was like purgatory.

In the great epidemic in 501 AD, the death rate reached 70%-80%. The corpses piled up under the beds, and the houses were filled with people sleeping on them.

Due to the great plague during the An-Shi Rebellion, the population dropped sharply from more than 1000 million households to less than 200 million households.

besides.........

They set out in the morning and died in the evening. The city was empty, with humans and ghosts mixed together. Nine out of ten houses were empty, and all the people in the households were extinct.

Human life is truly worthless.

He couldn't help but think of the cruelest poem he had ever read.

Dead Rat

【Author】Shi Daonan 【Dynasty】Qing Dynasty

Dead rats in the east, dead rats in the west, seeing dead rats is like seeing a tiger!

Not long after rats died, people died in droves.

Don’t ask how many people die during the day, the sun is bleak and covered with sad clouds.

The three of them had not walked more than ten steps when suddenly two people died crossing the road.

Someone dies at night, I dare not cry, the plague ghost exhales and the lamp flickers green.

Suddenly the wind blew and the lights went out, and the coffins of corpses and ghosts lay dark in the same room.

The crows cry incessantly, and the dogs weep sometimes.

When a man has the lust of a devil, the devil will take away his spirit.

Most people you meet during the day are ghosts, but when you meet ghosts at dusk, you may suspect them of being people!

The dead are scattered all over the ground, and their bones are gradually aged by the wind.

If no one harvests the crops in the fields, from whom should the government collect rent?

I want to ride on a celestial dragon, ascend to heaven, call upon the Goddess of Heaven, beg the Mother of Heaven, sprinkle heavenly juice, scatter heavenly milk, and make the soil of the nine plains thousands of feet high become soft.

Everyone in the underground is alive and well, and the underworld has turned into rejuvenating rain!

The content is so cruel that it makes people shudder just by reading it once.

Li, who was standing by, noticed that her husband was acting strangely, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his hand and asked.

I realized that in such hot weather, his fingers were as cold as ice.

"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you?"

She slapped his face anxiously, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses.

"plague!"

He uttered two words with difficulty.
