Chapter 29:

Demon and witch.
The word demon is no stranger to coming here. Chen Caixing has heard from local aborigines and NPCs. At this time, people worship God and treat the plague as the punishment of the world. It is the demon invading the human body.
The plague is not correctly recognized as a disease, so the treatment methods and methods are strange, such as bloodletting and whipping are basic operations, and many people think that the infected person has a demon in their body. In order to drive the demon, they use foul-smelling feces to stick to the wound.
The result is of course dying fast.
But the witch Chen Caixing heard it for the first time.
"Can you talk about witches?" Chen Caixing looked into the eyes of a man named Murphy. When he mentioned the witches, the pupil of the other person's pupils flashed with fear, obviously he didn't want to talk. Can't help Xiaobaihua's upper body, a poor woman with a single parent, her eyelashes twitched slightly, and said softly: "My brother and I are not here. The child's father is gone. I am lonely and helpless. I know that the hospital is recruiting doctors. With my younger brother coming over and doing the chores in the hospital, God, I don’t know anything about this place, can you help me?"
Murphy struggled a few times. He was obviously very scared. There were only a few people in the simple grass shed, but his voice was very small and his look was guarded, like he was afraid of being heard by the ubiquitous demons.
"Last year, there were deaths everywhere. These deaths were caused by witches. They brought demons. You stayed in the hospital. At that time, it was the execution ground for the witches, cities, villages, a lot of witches..." Mo Fei remembered the scene, his hands trembling and covering his face could not talk.
Chen Caixing thought of the woods, with a look of pity and fear on his face, trembling and said, "Gosh, it's terrible, we don't know anything, we live by the woods..."
"Oh, God bless." Murphy knelt directly on the ground.
All right. The place where the witch was executed should be the woods.
Murphy's family of three was shaking like a sieve, kneeling on the floor and constantly thinking of God's blessing. Chen Caixing also wanted to make a cliché, only pretending to be at a loss, sobbing gently while covering his face, and did not immediately ask.
"Sister, I am so scared, what shall we do." Yuan Jiuwan asked helplessly with Chen Caixing's arm.
Chen Caixing: It is indeed the younger brother he cultivated.
"You are about to leave there, witch... there are demons there," Murphy reminded.
Chen Caixing shook his head, his face bitter, "I can't leave, my brother and I can't leave, they won't let us leave." He looked at Murphy and begged: "Can you tell me more about witches? Are we outsiders?" , They should not harm us."
"I don't know much. Last winter, I caught Barbara. She was a witch with a very powerful force. She gave many witches and hanged them in the woods, but, but..." Murphy recalled The body shivered and could not speak.
Chen Caixing did not urge, but the pitiful weak with tears in her eyes.
"They came to life, and then set them on fire, but these witches possessed by the demon could not sleep, the forest burned by the fire re-grows, and then no one dared to go to the forest, where there is Barbara, there is a demon sleep."
Murphy said it was chaotic, and Chen Caixing asked something about Barbara.
Barbara is the big witch, the daughter of the shoemaker in the city, an old girl, unmarried in her forties, has a black cat, weird nature. Once in a blessing prayer, the companion found out that she was unusual and reported Barbara. Barbara was interrogated to determine the identity of the witch and executed in the woods.
These are all stories that have been passed down by word of mouth, and Murphy can't tell if I ask them in detail.
Chen Caixing thanked him and left some cereals and bread for the family. The cereals were bought at the Gatti's house. After he came out, Chen Caixing rarely cooked. He could not open the fire several times at home and left everything in his backpack.
Coarse grains are corn-milled noodles, and burning them into a slush should make this family survive the winter.
The two came out of Murphy's house and passed two villages along the way. However, the population was scarce and everyone was in trouble. Two of them were infected with the plague and fell to the ground. No one dared to come close. Chen Caixing guarded Xiao Jiu and stood in the distance without passing.
"Don't be treated as a witch..."
They didn't wear masks, people died in the past, they are fine, and in case someone confesses, death is not the way to die.
Chen Caixing thought of Barbara. I don’t know if there is a witch in this world. Or because the other party is so old and reticent, when the plague came and was designated as a witch, killing the witch eliminated the demon and died.
Acting carefully, Chen Caixing touched Xiao Jiu Curly Hair and said slowly, "We need to do our best to help people."
"Sister, I know that you are the best."
The stars are soft-hearted, but they are not irrational fathers.
"Good Nine." Chen Caixing smiled.
The time here should be late autumn and winter is coming. To rush to the hospital before dark, Chen Caixing did not delay any longer and took Xiao Jiu's hand back.
When I hurried to the hospital, it was already dark.
From a distance, the entire hospital stands alone on the hillside, a distance from the city and the countryside. The two arrived in the lobby first. They were not the first to return, nor the latest. Three others did not return.
Chen Caixing swept the circle, Cheng Lifeng and Guo Yu were not there, and no one knew. The group of girls who went to the country with him returned early and sat down to complain.
"My feet seem to have blisters. It hurts. I don't want to go to the country tomorrow. I want to go to the city."
"Several people get sick today. Fortunately, we are running fast, which is terrible, in case it gets infected."
"Should we have been vaccinated since childhood? I think it's tickling. It should have been because of fleas in the bed yesterday."
Chen Caixing noticed that the two were far away from the girl who said itchy.
"Is there anyone still coming back? I'm hungry and tired. I want to go back to sleep."
"It should be a newcomer. NPCs said they would come back before dark at night. Let's see what happens."
Speaking should be veteran.
This is a test for NPC with newcomers.
Did not rush back before dark to trigger the death condition.
But before it was dark, the three of them finally came back, and Guo Yucheng had a girl.
Alexander was wearing a mask. Chen Caixing hadn't seen the other person under the mask since he came in. At this moment, he swept the people with his beak and nodded. There was no fluctuation in his voice and said, "It's time to eat, everyone."
On the way to the restaurant.
Guo Yu whispered while walking: "I thought Yuanxing was hard to deal with, but today, I still think Yuanxing is pretty good and courageous. You were not there yesterday and told me to go find you together, that is, if you are pregnant, otherwise you You can really try to chase it."
Cheng Lifeng glanced at Guo Yu.
"Xing Xing Xing, I know what you mean, it's not that people in Yuanxing are pregnant and say that these are not good." Guo Yu shook his head and sighed: "It's all women, how is the gap so big."
The restaurant is lit by oil lamps, and the elders of the light and shadow.
In addition to players, there are also local NPC doctors, sitting in a clear and distinct way.
Guo Yu swept the circle among the crowd, determined that two figures, one big and one small, pulled Lao Cheng to sit opposite the others. Cheng Lifeng sat down with him and saw the primary school pupil across from him look at him alertly, and then leaned against his sister, who touched the pupil's head very gently.
Cheng Lifeng wanted to laugh.
"I don't rob your sister."
"You can't take it away." Yuan Jiuwan finished proudly, turned around and asked pitifully, "Is it sister?"
"Yes, yes, my sister likes Xiao Jiu, nobody likes it." Chen Caixing coaxed the child.
Guo Yu owed it and said, "Child, you are a bit sick."
"I think you have a lot of words." Chen Caixing glanced at Guo Yu lightly. Xiao Jiu is a little too dependent on him, but also because of Xiao Jiu’s young age and family background, his mother protected him from death, his father’s domestic violence, Guo Yu didn’t know this, he didn’t want to talk about it, but he didn’t like it. I'll say Xiao Jiu.
Yuan Jiuwan showed a happy smile.
Chen Caixing touched the child's head.
"Yes, my mouth is cheap." Guo Yu didn't care.
The prepared dinner is really unbearable, everyone is still eating the food they bring. Guo Yu couldn't stop talking, and said while eating: "Don't you know, the city is so dirty and smelly, I was almost poured out by a bucket of urine in my head today, but fortunately, my master is agile."
Chen Caixing: ...the bread in his hand suddenly stopped smelling.
"Old Guo, eat." Cheng Lifeng said.
Guo Yu saw that Yuan Xing hadn't eaten anything, understood that, hehe laughed twice.
"Sorry, sorry."
Chen Caixing put down the bread, slowly sipped his mouth, and slowly said, "Sister, you can't speak, just listen to your old attackers. If you go on like this, I'm afraid you will be beaten."
Guo Yu: ...
Dare not look at the old Cheng.
"Yuanxing, I'm wrong, really. I beg you, don't say it."
Chen Caixing continued to nibble on the bread without expression.
Afterwards, Guo Yu didn’t dare to let it go. After scratching his head, he ate a biscuit and filled it with water. On the way back, he was two meters away from Yuanxing and whispered: "Old Cheng, if I take back Yuanxing well, this woman is too difficult Now, I would rather take care of the mango that is crying and crying today."
"They are called Wang Guo."
"It's all the same." Guo Yu didn't care.
Go back to the dormitory and pass by the dead room last night. The ground is clean and there is no body. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, you really think that no one has lived here.
"You said, will our room die too?" Guo Yu couldn't help saying.
Chen Caixing glanced at his eyes and asked Cheng Lifeng, "How do you endure?" No answer, he nodded, "I understand, it is love, it is responsibility."
Cheng Lifeng Guo Yu: ...
After a blind pass, they went to bed separately.
Chen Caixing suddenly said: "We went to the country today to find news. After the woods killed the witch last winter, there was a big witch named Barbara." As a clue that Cheng Lifeng helped him find Xiao Jiu and others shared yesterday, Chen Caixing also Without concealing it, he told both of them what he knew.
"I'm going!" Guo Yu sat up with his bones, his eyes bright in the dark, and said, "Bull batch, Yuanxing."
Cheng Lifeng nodded and said, "Thank you. We didn't find anything useful today."
"It's still a bit telling." Guo Yu started to spit, "The road in the city is dirty, and it is full of feces. If you pass tomorrow, beware of someone pouring urine on the second floor, and there is a pub with good wine, although the sausage smells It smells a little bit but also meat..."
It's a travel guide.
At the end, Guo Yu sighed: "You said that this game didn't give me the status of aristocrat, when your brother has meat to eat, you can also drink soup."
"Sister, wherever there is a peanut..." It won't make you so high. Chen Caixing said quietly.
Cheng Lifeng put the topic back on track.
"As stated, there are witches in the woods."
"There are players' bodies." Chen Caixing added to keep up with the rhythm.
Guo Yu only remembered that Cheng Lifeng went to the woods last night, and he was no longer in a mood to joke, frowning and worrying, saying: "Old Cheng--"
"It's okay." Cheng Lifeng said lightly.
The tone of listening doesn't seem to be brave. Chen Caixing believes that the opponent also has a life-saving card. He thought of the silver cross he had bought, but he didn't know how to use it.
"Sister." Yuan Jiuwan's voice was soft with drowsiness.
After interrupting Chen Caixing's thinking, he recovered and gently patted Xiao Jiu and said, "Sleep."
"What about your blankets?" Guo Yu suddenly found the blankets belonging to him on both of them disappeared.
Chen Caixing wrapped Xiao Jiu in a coat and casually said, "Do good for you, rest assured, sister."
Guo Yu: ...He is really unmatched.
The room was quiet, and the night was a bit cold. Xiao Jiu held in Chen Caixing's arms, just like the small heater, the heat source was rolling, and he didn't notice the cold, and fell asleep.
The woods were dark and the moonlight seemed to be unable to shine through.
The rustling sound, the wet land loosened, and slowly a boned hand was pulled out. The boned hand slowly picked up the soil and crawled out of the rotten head. The black hole looked at the distant row of bungalows .
Dark treetops.
A pair of green oily eyes moved quickly.
More and more carcasses buried on the ground struggled out of the soil and climbed to the edge of the forest. Green eyes leaped among the treetops, and soon there were four fresh corpses at the edge of the forest, where they had struggled, and all the rotten corpses behind him looked in one direction.
The two green eyes crossed an arc under the moonlight, and the agile figure quickly shuttled through the ground weeds. The moonlight shone on it, and it was smooth and slippery. It was a black cat all over the body.
"Meow."
A black cat was squatting outside the window, and the eyes of the green Yingying stared at the four people in the room.
The four people who were asleep were unaware, ‘creak’—the wind blew open the windows and made a small sound. The black cat jumped in quickly from the window, and landed lightly on the end of a bed. Four paws walked gracefully on the bed, and slowly extended his paws—
The room temperature seems to be colder.
Chen Caixing had a dream. He was messed up. After he was identified as a witch for execution, he was hanged in the woods. At the time of life and death, the NPC man who grew up in his aesthetic point jumped out and carried out a few times. duel.
Fighting in the dream, he was held in the arms by the man.
"Lying trough!" The room suddenly sounded.
Chen Caixing was awakened. In his mind, the man in the dream looked at his affectionate eyes. He said nothing to the source of the sound. Guo Yu shouted: "Old Cheng, old Cheng, you wake up and don't sleep. Is there anything?"
After a few seconds, Cheng Lifeng sounded, "It's okay for now."
Guo Yu jumped off the bed and turned on the flashlight. Perak Barra said, "Just as soon as a black cat stood at the head of your bed, the old man in the trough woke up and opened his eyes to meet the green cat eyes of the black cat. It scared me to death. Shouted, the black cat slipped so fast, why did you sleep so deadly."
"I woke up, just couldn't move." Cheng Lifeng's voice was still calm.
Guo Yu scolded.
"Now? Can you move?"
Cheng Lifeng: "Yes." He sat up on the bed, under the light of the flashlight, a series of dark and dark paw prints on the sheets on the quilt, mixed with mud and carefully looked at the color of blood.
Paw prints circled where Cheng Lifeng fell asleep, leaving most of his head.
Guo Yu saw it clearly and scolded another swear word.
"I brought the cross." Cheng Lifeng pulled the necklace from his neck, and the silver cross glowed with white light.
At first glance, Chen Caixing was indeed a prop. So anyone who enters the forest will die?
What if none of the players buy props?
Chen Caixing always feels strange, but he can't think of anything at all. There are too few clues now. The initial mission of NPC was ‘When will they be better’, why is it good? Who they were but did not specify, Chen Caixing felt that it would not be the study of drugs to treat the infected people.
This is too exaggerated and contrary to history.
In this hospital, they didn’t search them all. The time given by Alexander was very tight. Players were arranged outside during the whole day. After returning, they used to eat a meal. It was dark, and they said that they should not go around after dark. It would be dangerous.
At present, they are three places: dormitory, restaurant and hall.
Check this hospital tomorrow.
"Sleep when everything is okay." Chen Caixing patted Xiaojiu, and the younger brother was half asleep and half awake.
Guo Yu:! ! !
Is this okay?
Perhaps Guo Yu's eyes were too shocked, Chen Caixing yawned, and said slowly: "Everyone is okay, will it be necessary to stay through tomorrow morning? Work tomorrow."
"It's alright, sleep." Cheng Lifeng said.
All the parties lay down again, and finally Guo Yu was the only one holding his hair and swearing low again.
They are all cattle.
Someone was ringing the bell early the next morning.
It was still bright, and several people woke up and simply washed. With the coldness of the morning in the restaurant, Chen Caixing subconsciously counted the number of people and said, "One less."
"Who? Not active in eating." Guo Yu took his mouth.
Chen Caixing looked at the dining table with a bread that could remove teeth from the stone. Who would be active in this meal?
"It's a girl, a newcomer named Fang Pingping." Cheng Lifeng confirmed.
Guo Yu said triumphantly: "Our old Cheng has never forgotten in identifying people."
"Then you can be really happy." Chen Caixing applauded.
Guo Yu:? ? ? Which way is he happy?
"You just turned into gray, he remembers you, how romantic." Chen Caixing saw Guo Yu's question mark said casually.
Guo Yu: ...
Guo Yu, who succeeded in closing the mouth, closed his mouth quietly and finished his meal in the morning. When I went to the lobby, the girl named Fang Pingping didn't show up. Alexander didn't find any fewer people. He said a few words to come back before dark, the treatment of fart and the like.
Separate from each other.
The veteran who went to the city yesterday is going to the countryside today. Everyone knows that looking for clues, no one will pierce a place, and it is not a real tourist. So Chen Caixing Yuan 90 thousand yuan and the girls who formed the group yesterday became a team again.
The girls have a look of ‘I hate that green tea but I can’t help it’.
Guo Yu changed the location of the city with cookies and two of her sisters.
So today the four teamed up.
Yuan Jiuwan was not very happy, keeping Chen Caixing in step. Chen Caixing didn't realize that after all, Xiao Jiu had always been sticking to him. He was paying attention to the roads in the city.
Because the nobles in the city have horse-drawn carriages, horse dung will be left on the road. I don’t know if it’s no one to take care of it or not to take care of it. Anyway, just a few steps is dung.
Where people live, some people will pour sewage on the road.
Stinky.
Chen Caixing was uncomfortable and was a little vomiting, so he could only bear it, and Xiao Jiu could not suppress the plum sugar he gave him. After searching for a circle, Guo Yu caught the resident and said Barbara. The resident ran away in a hurry. After asking the lap, he didn't ask about the fart, and let the residents look at their gloomy eyes.
Especially staring at the only'female' Chen Caixing among the four.
Chen Caixing turned his head and stared at Guo Yu calmly.
Guo Yu's scalp was numb, and he whispered: "I didn't mean it, how can I ask? Or if you go, I won't speak."
"I asked, it's useless, same."
"Your handsome men's plans are useless, harm." Guo Yu originally wanted to cross the road, but he didn't expect Yuanxing to watch him, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He said: "What do you mean, you can see that these residents are too It’s hard to do, and I can’t even mention it. You can ask if you have the ability. If you ask, you will be my boss. Okay.

Chen Caixing plucked his hair and said, "When I'm the boss, it's OK to be a good sister."
"OK!" Guo Yu didn't believe it and promised.
He didn't even ask a man's question. Yuan Xing and a woman mentioned this topic, so they weren't afraid of being a witch.
I saw Chen Caixing pulled out a cross from his pocket and held it in one hand, holding her younger brother to meet the residents who watched them.
"...God is kind and blessed me and my children, but my husband..."
Yuan Xing woman began to cover her face and wept, her back was thin, her face was pale, and she was weak and innocently beautiful. Her younger brother said softly and obediently that her sister shouldn’t cry, the devil was gone, and the witches would not be returned if they were driven away.
"I'm really afraid that they will come back again. Fortunately, my husband who passed away left me this. The light of God warmed me. I believe we can overcome this difficulty."
"They didn't dare to come back. Barbara was executed and her leather shoe store was smashed. No one will go there. You have God's care. I really envy you."
The women were soothing.
Chen Caixing's eyes turned red, and he shook his head softly, touching his stomach with one hand, and said softly, "I just want to keep the blood line for my husband. No matter how hard or difficult, I will survive it, but I often have nightmares and dreams... …"
He, like a chaste woman, exudes the holy light of the widow.
"You are such a strong and good woman, and your husband will thank you."
"Take care and remember not to be near the corner of West Street."
...
The women couldn't see the front face, and Chen Caixing said coldly and decisively: "West Street corner. Go away, good sister."
Guo Yu from the beginning to the end: ...
He felt for a moment that Yuanxing's husband was dead.
...Good sister.
