Chapter 616 Someone Is Coming

Faced with people who suddenly appeared in Niuxin Village for no reason, Li Huowang was naturally full of suspicion.

"Li Sui, help me find out his details."

"Okay, Dad."

Several of Li Sui's tentacles flew over and quickly dragged the ragged man out of the kitchen.

Moreover, these tentacles penetrated directly through the seven orifices, clearly exploring his details from the inside out.

And under the newly rising moonlight, Li Huowang could clearly see this man's face.

He was an unshaven man, but he looked very haggard and thin. Under the tattered clothes, his ribs were clearly visible, and there was a small pumpkin and two sweet potatoes hidden in his arms.

"Ugh~" The man arched his back, and Li Sui's tentacles slowly pulled out of his body.

"Dad, this is a human being. There is nothing else in his body. There are some lumps in his stomach. He should be an ordinary human being."

Seeing the miserable look of the other party, Li Huowang, who was fully vigilant, felt relieved. If someone said that someone went to great lengths to sneak into Niuxin Village just to grab a few pieces of sweet potatoes, then he wouldn't believe it.

Li Huowang inserted the spine sword back behind his back, and then asked the man: "Why did you come to our Niuxin Village?"

"I am a refugee! I haven't eaten enough to make me hungry. Great Immortal, please spare me this time. I'm really starving to death. I don't dare to do it anymore." The man lay on the ground shivering. I didn't even dare to raise my head.

Seeing that other people had gathered around him, Li Huowang took a few breaths in the crowd, pointed his finger at Gou Wa who was watching the excitement and said, "Let's deal with it. When he's full, do you want to leave or stay with him?"

After that, without waiting for Gou Wa to say anything, Li Huowang retracted the tentacles on his body and walked towards the Bai family compound.

Seeing Li Huowang confirming that this person was really fine, Gouwa suddenly became bolder.

He walked up to the man with his hands behind his back. His face was white and black, which made the man tremble all over. "Are you fleeing? You suffered a lot on the road, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" The man kept nodding. As soon as he reached into his arms, took out a piece of sweet potato, and stuffed it into his mouth, Gouwa snatched it away.

"Hmph, I've never been hungry before. Do you want to kill yourself by stuffing these into your stomach like this? You need to drink porridge now! You can only eat dry food after drinking porridge for two days."

Gou Wa looked around, pointed at the two soldiers beside him, and said in a pretentious manner: "You two, yes, just the two of you, hurry up and make porridge. Didn't you hear what your godfather said just now? This matter is under my control."

Upon hearing that there was someone fleeing, the people in the village immediately gathered around him like they were joining in the fun.

This man drank three bowls of porridge in a row under the watch of the villagers of Niuxin Village. He wanted to drink but was stopped by Gou Wa.

"That's enough. I'll drink you to death." Gouwa forcefully snatched away his bowl and sat down on the stool. "I've finished eating this. Tell me, where do you live?"

The man looked at the other people around him with some fear. When he saw the lard candy in Gouwa woman's hand, he instinctively licked his tongue, "My family is from Xixian County."

"Xixian? Where is Xixian? I've never heard of it. What happened to your family? Why did you flee?"

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly showed intense fear, and his body even began to tremble. "A natural disaster! The Tengu eclipsed the sun, and all the demons and ghosts from the eighteenth level of hell in the underworld came out. They killed everyone they saw! I only escaped by hiding in a temple."

"When the natural disaster is over, almost everyone is dead. I look for food to survive. But the land has been in drought for three years, and there is really no food."

"I have no choice but to flee and find a way to survive."

"Oh~" Gouwa nodded clearly, "That's what it is, a natural disaster, right? I know, we had it last time, but it was scary. Fortunately, it only appeared for a while."

"A while?" After hearing this, the man's voice changed, and his eyes were full of grief and anger as he said: "Why! Why do you only have a while, but we have dozens of days! Why! !”

As soon as these words came out, people around him suddenly took a breath. If a natural disaster like that lasted for dozens of days, it would be really painful. No wonder they had to flee.

"Aren't you from Daliang? As far as I know, the natural disaster in Daliang only lasted for a while." Zhao Wu asked with a slight frown.

"What? Daliang? Where is Daliang? In just a moment, I'm out of the wall?" The man looked confused.

"Aren't you from Liang?"

"I'm not, I'm from Daqi."

After hearing what the other party said, the crowd started talking about it.

"People from Daqi? Where is Daqi? Isn't it Qingqiu on the left of Liang State and the sea on the right? Where is Daqi?"

"What about the top and the bottom?"

"I really don't know about this, but it can't be Daqi. I just remember that there was a dynasty called Daqi a thousand years ago."

Li Sui, who had already put on human skin, kept these words in mind. She held up the hem of her skirt and walked towards her home.

"Dad! Dad!" As soon as Li Sui entered the house, he saw his father cutting open his scalp to check how the inside of his head was recovering.

"Dad, there is a Daqi person down here. The place we have been to before is Daqi, right?"

"What? Daqi people? Are you sure you heard correctly?" Li Huowang didn't even have time to wipe the blood from his head at this moment, and jumped over the window and rushed towards the kitchen.

Under the coercion of Li Huowang's array of torture instruments, the man dared to hide anything and poured out everything he knew in his stomach.

And through the comparison with Daqi in his mind, Li Huowang discovered that the guy in front of him was indeed from Daqi! It’s really not pretending!

"People from Daqi are coming to Daliang, coming to Daliang." Li Huowang thought for a while with a solemn expression, and then asked the man in front of him again: "Tell me! How did you get here? Do you have other worries?"

"Why are you worried? I...I just walked along the road ahead." The man's face was too pale and he didn't dare to say anything.

"Take me to see it!" Li Huowang dragged him and walked towards the dirt road at the end of the village.

Soon, under the leadership of this man, Li Huowang came to a fork in the road at the foot of Niuxin Mountain.

"I came from that road. I saw that the woods here are denser, and then I followed the tracks of the wheels to find your village."

"Let's go, keep going." Li Huowang didn't know what this meant, but he felt that things were not that simple.

However, they stopped not long after walking because there was no road in front of them. It was a dead end.

Seeing the bright torture instrument at Li Huowang's hem, the man was about to cry. "I swear to the King of Three Mountains, I really didn't lie to you. I really came out of here."

Just when he was about to say something else, he was pushed away by Li Huowang, whose left ear moved slightly. Li Huowang grabbed the hilt of his sword and rushed into the woods nearby.

Soon he saw an old man in ragged clothes and a huge belly at the foot of a big tree. At this moment, he was holding a sharp stone and cutting into the bark of the tree desperately.

After peeling off a large piece of bark, he carefully peeled off the green, wet, soft skin on the inside of the hard bark.

Then he opened his mouth with few teeth left, his hands were trembling, and he stuffed the tender skin into his mouth with tears in his eyes.
