Led by Xiao Hui, Duanmu Huai and the others set off again, leaving Suzhou City and heading towards Heishui Town.
Heishui Town wasn’t too far. According to Xiao Hui, it was on the other side of Hedong. Fortunately, there was still a river, otherwise, the whole of Suzhou City might have already been in a biochemical crisis. Of course, even so, Suzhou City was already in a state of panic, fearing that the zombies might one day flee into the city.
Lin Yue Ru originally wanted to co along, but Lin Tiannan stopped her, considering the terrifying Snake Demon and the challenging corpse problem. Lin Yue Ru was only trained in martial arts and wasn’t versed in exorcising demons. She had failed to handle those spiritualized demons before, let alone the corpse problems.
According to Xiao Hui, there were two villages and towns there. To the west was Baihe Village, and to the east was Heishui Town. Baihe Village was much smaller than Heishui Town, just a small village relatively close to Suzhou City. Many people traveling to Suzhou City would rest at Baihe Village before setting off for Suzhou early the next morning.
"Immortal Masters, please look, that’s Baihe Village."
When Xiao Hui led Duanmu Huai and his group to Baihe Village, the sun was almost set. Under the dim sky, the village appeared lively. The group crossed the wooden bridge over the river and arrived at the village entrance, where so curious onlookers gathered, and upon seeing Xiao Hui, they were taken aback.
"Hey, Xiao Hui, isn’t this Xiao Hui? Am I not seeing this wrong?"
"Uncle Chen!"
Seeing the thin, elderly man in front of her, Xiao Hui exclaid and quickly ran over to grab his hand.
"Why are you here?"
"I should be asking you, Xiao Hui. Weren’t you captured by a demon?"
"Yes, but the Immortal Master killed the demon and rescued . Ah, these are the Immortal Masters."
As she spoke, Xiao Hui quickly turned her head to introduce Duanmu Huai and the others.
"This is Uncle Chen, he is from Heishui Town... Uncle Chen, what about my parents? How are they? Are they okay?"
"Sigh..."
Hearing Xiao Hui’s inquiry, the old man nad Uncle Chen sighed and shook his head. At his expression, Xiao Hui’s face instantly turned pale.
"Could it be...?"
"No, no, your parents aren’t dead, but they are injured and being treated by Doctor Han."
"Really? Dad! Mom!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hui’s eyes widened, and she quickly ran off.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai and the others exchanged a helpless glance.
What else could they do? They could only follow.
To Xiao Hui, Baihe Village was no stranger, and she naturally knew where Doctor Han resided. She quickly crossed Baihe Village and arrived at a courtyard on the edge of the village. Once inside, a pungent sll of dicine and blood hit them in the face. Looking around, there were injured people groaning in pain everywhere across the yard.
"Dad!"
Seeing one of the n lying on the mat, Xiao Hui cried out and rushed over. Hearing her voice, the farr and his wife quickly raised their heads and looked over in astonishnt, eyes wide upon seeing Xiao Hui.
"Xiao Hui! Xiao Hui! Why are you back? Am I dreaming?"
"Dad, Mom──!"
The three embraced, crying together. As for this scene, Duanmu Huai had no particular thoughts. Instead, he was more interested in the injured around him. Just as Duanmu Huai was about to step forward to check on the injured, a young girl wearing blue cloth and holding a dicine pot walked over.
"Please don’t co close, their condition is not good."
"Who are you?"
"My na is Han ng Ci."
As she spoke, Han ng Ci put down the dicine pot, poured so herbal dicine into a bowl, and administered it to the patient lying next to her.
"These are villagers who fled due to the corpse problem in Heishui Town; many of them were injured..."
"Is the corpse problem so serious?"
"Yes."
Han ng Ci nodded gravely.
"The nearby areas have been ravaged by the corpses, and those who could move have already left. Only our village is temporarily safe due to the river’s separation."
"Are these corpses really that formidable?"
Hearing this, Ann Haqi asked, initially assuming they were just like zombies. Wasn’t that the case?
"Of course not."
Han ng Ci shook her head.
"Corpses are different from other demons; they are impervious to swords and guns, immune to fire and water. More terrifying is their contagious poison; if the poison gets to the heart, even the great Immortals can’t save you. They used to appear only on moonless nights, but recently they’ve been rampant even during the day. If this continues, I’m afraid Baihe Village won’t hold for long..."
"Hmm..."
Duanmu Huai nodded, gazing at the injured around him, then turned to look at Tamaki Iroha standing beside him.
"It’s your turn."
"Huh?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s comnt, Tamaki Iroha paused in surprise.
"Wha, what? ?"
"That’s right, did you think I brought a healer here for nothing? Now, go see if you can heal these people."
"This........."
Looking at the scene in front of them, Tamaki Iroha was sowhat troubled. After all, she was just an ordinary (crossed out) middle school girl. And the situation was quite grueso, given the ancient setting without decent bandaging techniques. Many people were still lying on grass mats groaning. As for the man in front of them, half of his body was soaked in blood, simple bandaging couldn’t stop the bleeding. The mixture of dicinal herbs’ sll and stench even made Tamaki Iroha feel a little dizzy.
However---At that mont, Tamaki Iroha inexplicably thought of her younger sister back in the hospital, and the painful look she had when her illness flared up.
"I’ll give it a try!"
At that mont, Tamaki Iroha overca the unease within her heart, as she walked to the patient’s side, then reached out her hand, aiming at his body.
Following this, Tamaki Iroha’s hands gradually emitted a white light that slowly enveloped the person. Little by little, the man’s wounds ceased to bleed, his once-furrowed brows relaxed, and even his breathing beca more even.
"How could this be........."
Seeing this scene, Han ng Ci was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe her eyes. After Tamaki Iroha withdrew her hands and stepped aside, Han ng Ci quickly rushed forward to examine the man’s condition.
"The bleeding has actually stopped? And the fever has subsided? This pulse... though still a bit weak, it’s much better already?!"
Looks like this little girl does have so skills.
Listening to Han ng Ci’s astonished words, Duanmu Huai glanced at Tamaki Iroha.
But speaking of which... you’re focusing on healing, and handling magic girl duties by yourself, the pressure must be enormous.
No wonder Tamaki Iroha struggles so much against witches, never able to defeat them.
Because you’re essentially the one standing in the rear of the iron triangle.
"Who exactly are you..."
"These are the Immortal Masters!"
At this mont, Xiao Hui finally snapped out of the joy of reuniting with her parents and rushed forward to introduce.
"They were the ones who rescued from the Snake Demon, and they’ve co here to eliminate the corpse threat!"
"Immortal Masters?!"
Upon hearing Xiao Hui’s words, Han ng Ci and the patients were taken aback, then the patients suddenly began shouting toward them.
"Save us, Immortal Masters! Help us!"
"Please, I feel like I’m dying..."
"Save , Immortal Master, I’m still young, I don’t want to die..."
"Eh? Eh? Eh?!"
Seeing patients reaching out and shouting from all directions, Tamaki Iroha’s eyes began to spin. Although she couldn’t understand what they were yelling, she felt sowhat frightened. She felt like these people were like zombies, about to pounce on her......
"Hmph!"
However, just then, a cold snort sounded like a sudden clap of thunder, imdiately drowning out the surrounding sounds. The patients also felt like they were struck by an invisible Heavy Hamr and were left gasping, unable to shout anymore.
"What a bunch of useless people."
Duanmu Huai coldly glanced at the patients around him, then took out his War Hamr and smashed it on the ground with a "boom", then he turned to look at Han ng Ci.
"Miss Han, I’ll leave it to you."
"Huh? ?"
"Yes, see which patients need treatnt, then have her assist."
Saying this, Duanmu Huai nodded toward Tamaki Iroha and then addressed her.
"You and Mugeng will stay here to handle these patients."
"I don’t know how to heal."
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s order, Mugeng grumpily protested.
"I’m not asking you to heal, I’m saying if these guys cause trouble, just punish them harshly, so they learn their lesson."
As a Magic Girl, Tamaki Iroha’s Physical Attribute is far superior to ordinary people, but Duanmu Huai could guess that if the patients persistently clung to her, Tamaki Iroha wouldn’t have any solution, so he left Mugeng there.
After all, the weapon of critique is nowhere near the power of critique by weapons.
"What about you, Master?"
"We, of course, are heading to Heihe Town."
"You’re going to Heihe Town now?"
Listening to Duanmu Huai’s words, Han ng Ci was shocked.
"It’s evening now, the ti when corpse demons rampage! If you go now and alert the corpse demons, you’ll be besieged by countless corpse demons! Why not stay in the village and wait until tomorrow morning for the trip?"
"No need for such trouble."
However, Duanmu Huai clearly didn’t care about such minor issues. Facing Han ng Ci’s reminder, he rely shrugged, then spoke.
"Rest assured, I’m best at cleaning them up all together."
