What a lucky world!

Chapter 74 Wan'an's shocking change!

Deep in Pingshan.

The evil monk's body fell to the side with a spear stuck in it, but no one paid any attention to it.

On the other side, Wei Wuyou's hand was on Xuan Ji's belly, sensing it carefully.

Zhang Mu squatted beside her, without even treating his own wounds. He looked at Xuan Ji, whose breathing was intermittent, and waited nervously for Wei Wuyou's answer.

"Most of his blood vessels have ruptured, and his internal organs are damaged." Wei Wuyou withdrew his hand and shook his head. "I'm afraid he can't hold on any longer..."

Zhang Mu was incredulous and said, "But she was fine just now..."

"Obsession, huh..." Wei Wuyou shook his head. "I just noticed that this little cat persisted until he saw you kill the monk, and then he fainted."

"Let me take a look at your injuries first..."

"Teacher, can you save her?" Zhang Mu grabbed Wei Wuyou's outstretched hand, shook it tightly, and asked nervously, "Do you have a way to save Xuan Ji?"

Wei Wuyou was about to speak when he suddenly saw the pleading and hopeful look in Zhang Mu's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Master, I'm not sure..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu knelt down in front of Wei Wuyou without hesitation.

"Teacher, I beg you to save Xuan Ji."

"I'll go up the mountain with you!"

Wei Wuyou looked at Zhang Mu and sighed, "We'll discuss going up the mountain later."

"As a teacher...I will do my best."

After saying that, Wei Wuyou reached out to help Zhang Mu: "Get up first, you're seriously injured."

Zhang Mu turned his head to look at the unconscious Xuan Ji. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt the blood in his body surging and spurted out another mouthful of blood. Then he felt dizzy and his vision quickly blurred.

"Teacher, please..." Zhang Mu muttered half a word and fell into Wei Wuyou's arms.

Wei Wuyou looked at Zhang Mu, who had fallen into his arms, and then at the unconscious Xuan Ji, and sighed softly: "I haven't even acknowledged my son yet, but I've already shouldered the debt of my children..."

After saying that, Wei Wuyou stood up, flipped his wrist, and carried Zhang Mu on his shoulders. He then walked to Xuan Ji, bent down, picked up Xuan Ji and held her in his arms. He took a step forward and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Wan'an County, Escort Agency Flower Hall.

Zhuang Xiaomeng put down the pen in her hand and frowned: "What? Still can't find Zhang Mu?"

The maid Chunxi nodded and replied, "I've asked around. Last night in the middle of the night, the mute master from the dilapidated temple in the north of the city came looking for Mu'er, apparently asking him to rescue someone. The mute master only knew that Mu'er had left the city, but he had no idea where he had gone."

Zhuang Xiaomeng rubbed his temples with a headache: "I just told him to be cautious and think twice before doing anything."

"In the end, all the words I said to him were in vain."

Chunxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Madam, Brother Mu is very capable. Look, he can kill a sixth-grade fox demon single-handedly. There will be no harm."

Zhuang Xiaomeng glanced at Chunxi and shook her head: "You don't understand!"

"The situation is a bit complicated now."

"Tell Captain Song to go out of the city and check. If he finds the person, bring him back to me immediately."

Chunxi was surprised: "Do you want Chief Song to go in person?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng nodded and said, "Also, have him bring two more escorts, no, four escorts, and they must be back before sunset."

Chunxi looked doubtful, but when he saw Zhuang Xiaomeng's serious look, he quickly agreed and walked out of the flower hall.

Chunxi had just left when Mr. Hebilai, the accountant, hurried in.

"Madam Cang, the account you requested has been prepared." He Bilai presented a scroll of account books and said, "This contains the current food reserves of the escort agency."

Madam Zhuang quickly looked through the account books and shook her head. "Mr. He, let's go to the market and see if there are any grain sellers. Buy as much as you can."

He Bilai looked puzzled and said, "We have enough food stored."

"Besides, the autumn harvest is coming soon. This year is a good year, and the harvest of our escort agency's farm should be higher than in previous years."

"We're not short of food..." Madam Zhuang shook her head. "I sent someone to call everyone back this morning."

He Bilai opened his mouth wide: "Then...what about the crops?"

Madam Zhuang looked out the window and sighed softly, "It doesn't matter. I hope it's not too late..."

……

Erpo Township.

There are four townships and eight villages under the jurisdiction of Wan'an County. According to the system of the Dayun Dynasty, a township consists of one thousand households and a village consists of one hundred households.

Erpo Township is the largest of the four townships in Wan'an County. It has a total of 2,200 households and nearly 10,000 people on the roster. It is about 50 miles away from the county seat.

At this moment in Erpo Township, one can see rolling waves of wheat and laughter in every farmer's household. It is a good year for harvest.

The way is:
The west wind blows for a hundred miles, and the wheat and millet smell fragrant. The singing springs fall into the Dou Valley.

The old ox has paid off its debt of plowing, and lies on the hillside chewing grass in the sunset.

"It will be ready for harvest in a few days." A landlord in Erpo Township looked at the crops in the fields and sighed.

The servant who followed the landlord asked in confusion: "Master, it's a good harvest, why do you look unhappy?"

"Hmph, how can you be so happy?" The landlord shook his head. "I asked the old farmer, and he said that this year's harvest will be 30% more than last year's."

"If we do this, I guess the situation in other people's fields will be similar."

"Once there is more new grain, grain prices will fall."

"But the imperial court only accepts silver as tax now!"

"This in and out, Master, I have suffered a huge loss."

"Do you think I can be happy, Master?"

Upon hearing this, the servant also put away his smile and put on a bitter face, asking, "Then...what should we do?"

"What can I do?" The landlord sighed. "Let's see what the market is like then."

"If the price drops too much, sell less and store the rest."

"Humph, with the current state of our country, I don't believe we won't see a year of disaster."

The servant immediately flattered him: "Master, you are wise."

The landlord smiled bitterly and was about to scold the flattering servant when he suddenly felt the ground shaking. He lowered his head and saw the dust jumping.

"The earth dragon turned over?" The landlord was puzzled when he suddenly heard the servant exclaim: "Master, look!"

The landlord looked in the direction the servant pointed and saw countless wild animals suddenly rushing out from the deep green forest in the distance. They looked like a dark cloud. The beasts seemed to be driven by something and rushed towards them frantically.

The landlord's face turned pale and he turned around to run, but he twisted his foot and fell to the ground. The servant reacted and ran away immediately.

The landlord struggled to get up, but the severe pain in his legs prevented him from running. He shouted to the servant, "San Gou, come and carry me!"

"San Gou, come back soon!"

"Sangou, your rent is waived this year!"

"San Gou, you're attracted to my daughter, right? I'll marry you."

"San Gou, please save me!"

"San Gou, you son of a bitch..."

The landlord looked at the servant who had already disappeared, then turned his head to look at the surging beast tide. He tried to jump forward, but ended up falling to the ground again. He felt the ground shaking, slapped his thigh, and shouted in the direction of the servant's escape: "This is a demonic disaster! This is a demonic disaster..."

"Damn it, none of you can escape, none of you can escape!"

……

The same demonic disaster struck Wan'an County's four townships and eight villages almost simultaneously...
