Chapter 203 Leaving the Town
Chapter 203 Leaving the Town
"I saw the town entrance!! We really got out!!!"
"Woo woo~ I want to go home!"
"Damn it! I'll never come to this damn place again!"
……
A chaotic noise rang out one after another, and everyone was holding their things and hurriedly running out of the town.
The further you go out, the thinner the fog becomes, and the view becomes clearer and brighter.
When the group of people ran out of the town, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of surviving a disaster was indescribable.
Outside the town, there were many people gathered, including officials, villagers, Taoist priests who had not entered the town, and some passers-by.
When they saw a group of people running out of the town, they were quite surprised. After all, they didn't go out last night. They thought something had happened, but they didn't expect that each of them ran out carrying large and small bags.
The leading team of officers hurried forward to inquire about the situation and confiscated some of the items. After all, according to previous regulations, 30% of everything taken out had to be handed over to the government.
No one had any objection to handing over 30% of the items. The main thing was that they were good enough to get out alive. Compared to those who lost their lives last night, they already felt a little lucky.
When they opened the bundles and handed over the items, the eyes of the officers lit up, and the onlookers around them shouted in surprise, their eyes red.
"So much treasure! All silver and jewelry! Quite a bit of gold too!!"
"This isn't scavenging, this is simply robbery! Yeah, everyone in this town is dead, but there's property everywhere!"
"I want to go in after seeing this. So, what's the situation inside now?"
"Yeah, is there still danger inside?"
"I heard from Master Xu that there was a ghost wall inside. How is it now?"
In response to everyone's questions, they just said that the ghost wall was gone.
At this time, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The dark clouds over the town gradually dissipated, and the gray fog inside disappeared.
Some people looked at the piles of property, greed surging in their hearts. Although they knew there was danger in the town, after hesitating for a while, some people still walked into the town.
Money is a tempting thing, and soon a lot of money came in.
Ning Ji and Si He did not leave the town immediately, but went into a pharmacy on the street to pick up some medicinal herbs.
This medicine shop is not very big. Although it does not have any precious medicinal materials, it has common medicinal materials. There is also a decoction room at the back of the shop, which is convenient for decocting medicine.
Ning Ji picked out some medicinal herbs and boiled some medicine on the spot.
Before, when he was at the Qian family, he was accidentally invaded by evil spirits. Although he took pills at that time and drove out the evil spirits, he still needed to take some more medicine to consolidate the effect, and now was not the time to go out.
While the two were staying in the pharmacy, the streets outside became bustling again. Some new people came in and were frantically searching for valuables. However, they were still concerned about the danger and did not go too deep into the town. They first searched the shops or houses outside.
At this time, apart from the noise made by these people, the town was quiet and silent everywhere. There were no ghosts or evil spirits attacking, and it was like a completely empty town.
Some of the timid ones knew when to quit and after taking some valuable things, they hurriedly ran out of the town.
When people outside the town saw them come out shortly after they went in, and took a lot of things with them, they came forward to ask questions. After learning that there was no danger now, many people were tempted, and then many people ran into the town one after another.
As time passed, many people came in and out of the town. No one was injured or killed, and no one encountered any danger. Apart from a lot of corpses, there seemed to be nothing unusual in the town.
The officials guarding the town entrance collected a large amount of property one after another. Although each person only collected 30%, due to the large number of people, they confiscated a large cart of things within an hour, including silver, jewelry, cloth, precious utensils, etc. The things were very mixed, but all very valuable.
At this moment, the officers were all tempted. After all, these things had to be turned over and confiscated, and they could only get some kickbacks at most. Originally, this was considered good, but compared to those people who were now carrying large and small bags of things, their little kickbacks were not worth their attention at all.
It was almost noon, the sun was blazing overhead, the sun was shining brightly, and the town was also bright.
Many people thought that today was a good day with strong Yang energy, so the ghosts in the town would not dare to come out, so more and more people ran into the town.
Even the villagers in the village couldn't help it and followed them into the town, sweeping the place madly.
After a while, some people returned with full loads. They were all fine. Just as the previous people said, they did not encounter any ghosts or any ghost walls.
Now, the officers couldn't help it and sent half of their men in, leaving only the other half to guard the periphery.
Now, the town is filled with the sounds of crazy looting. Everyone is crazy and excited. Some people even push carts to load things. The scene is very chaotic.
Many villagers pulled cartloads of items back to the village. Although most of the items were leftovers from others, for them, they were already a huge fortune, just like pie falling from the sky. As long as they acted quickly, they could pick up a lot of good things.
All of a sudden, everyone in the village came out. Except for the young children who stayed in the village, everyone else, even the elderly, hurried to the town, fearing that if they walked too slowly, the good things would be snatched away by others.
At this moment, even Helian Jie brought his men into the town.
Those who had escaped from the town before had mixed feelings when they saw this scene. Most of them felt that they had chosen the wrong time to enter the town. The weather was bad yesterday and the gloomy energy was heavy, so the ghosts in the town dared to come out in broad daylight to harm people.
The sun is shining brightly and the yang energy is strong. It is naturally the safest to enter the town at this time, so there are no ghosts or evil spirits in the town now.
Some people who originally didn't want to enter the town again became greedy again, temporarily forgetting their previous fear, and walked back to the town one after another to search for some more things. They wanted to take advantage of the peak of Yang energy to grab some more things and leave.
Of course, the young men and women who had escaped before did not dare to enter the town again and immediately left this ominous place as quickly as possible.
Si He and Ning Ji were in the drugstore, watching the chaotic scene outside. Some people also ran into the drugstore to loot things, but the valuable things were taken by Si He. After all, they had to hand over 30% of the things when they went out, so taking more would not seem too unusual. Besides, they still needed these things to cover up.
Because just now, she knew what Ning Ji took out from Qian's house, and it would not be good if others knew about it.
