At this time, a woman dressed in black stepped out of the crowd and kowtowed to Su Wu respectfully. Then she stood up and said cautiously: "My husband's surname is Zhao, and I am the owner of this caravan.

My surname is Wang, and my name is 'Shoujie'...

I apologize for any rudeness and offense to you, benefactor."

In the corner, Zhou Bo looked at the owner's wife who came out of the crowd and introduced herself to Su Wu. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his mind flashed back to the previous fierce attack and the various scenes that appeared in his mind when he approached the owner's wife's carriage.

He seemed to 'see' Mrs. Wang in the carriage at that time.

At that time, 'Mrs. Wang' made him feel cold, numb, and not like a living person.

But when Madam Wang appeared in front of him, he was unsure - his previous intuition seemed to be wrong...

Madam Wang was standing here, and he was suspected by other caravan brothers as someone with ulterior motives, but he could not stand up and say the extremely real feeling before, so he had to suppress such doubts in his heart and stood there silently.

Su Wu looked at the black-clad wife of the caravan owner, shook his head and said, "It's okay.

I came here today to settle a cause and effect of mine, and saving people was just a matter of convenience. You don't have to worry about this matter, and we can go our separate ways from now on."

Madam Wang stood there when she heard it, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Although the warrior did it casually, he really saved our lives.

Please accept Zhou's greeting!" Zhou Bo observed the situation in the field, took the opportunity to speak, and bowed to Su Wu again.

Su Wu looked at him with a smile on his face.

He nodded and did not speak.

Although he did not speak, his attitude towards Zhou Bo was slightly different from that towards Madam Wang. In the eyes of the caravan members who were used to observing words and expressions, Su Wu's attitude towards Zhou Bo was obviously kinder than that towards Madam Wang.

Everyone did not know that all their previous experiences were "seen by Su Wu".

When Su Wu bought weapons from the caravan merchant "Chen Bing", he left a talisman on Chen Bing to facilitate his own attention to the movements of this Han caravan caravan at any time.

Therefore, all the disputes and infighting in this caravan team were naturally known to him.

Although "Madam Wang" was the nominal owner of the entire caravan, her various actions in the caravan were not pleasing to Su Wu. He had experienced countless deaths and disasters, and "seeking good fortune and avoiding danger" was almost his instinctive reaction.

Refusing to contact people like Madam Wang was Su Wu's "avoiding danger".

Zhou Bo's various responses during the incident made Su Wu quite impressed.

Except for following the wrong master and being restricted by Madam Wang in various actions, the other actions of the other party were remarkable and could be called brave and resourceful.

Zhou Bo raised his head slightly and saw Su Wu's smile. He relaxed a little. Just when he was about to say a few more words to get closer to Su Wu, the black-clothed woman, Madam Wang, who was standing silently in the original place, suddenly said: "Your Excellency may not know that when my husband was still alive, Zhou Bo Zhou Guotou was already the horse Guotou of the caravan.

He traveled between Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet many times and was familiar with the secret Tibetan area.

If my husband had not had an accident on the way and his whereabouts were unknown, Zhou Guotou and my husband would have joined forces to pass through the secret Tibetan area without any problem. Zhou Guotou learned the 'ghost-carrying method' from an immortal. When applied, that method can also scare away the evil spirits..."

Wang Shoujie praised Zhou Bo a lot in his words.

But Zhou Bo felt a little depressed when he heard what she said.

The lady of the host actually had another metaphor behind her words, and her words could not be thought deeply by people.

For example, she said that Zhou Bo and her husband could work together to move freely in the secret area.

However, after her husband disappeared, Zhou Bo led the entire caravan alone, which immediately attracted many dangers-is this Zhou Bo incompetent? Or Zhou Bo has ulterior motives and deliberately led the caravan to a dangerous place?

"If there is anything I don't know, you can ask Zhou Bo in person.

You don't need to say anything more." Su Wu glanced at Wang Shoujie. The more he listened to her words, the more he felt that this lady Wang had ulterior motives. He interrupted her directly and stopped her from continuing to speak.

Wang Shoujie was stunned.

Previously, she only noticed that Su Wu seemed unwilling to contact her, but Su Wu's attitude today has already made it clear to her-the other party is not unwilling to contact her, but simply dislikes people like her!

She stayed where she was, panicking for a moment.

"I see that you have traces of evil spirits infecting you, and those traces are either deep or shallow.

When your caravan stopped at a certain place to sell goods, I had some contact with a friend in your caravan. He said that the 'life and death grass' can cure the 'yellow earth burial' disease.

Is this yellow earth burial disease related to the traces of evil spirits infecting you?" Su Wu turned his eyes to Zhou Bo and asked Zhou Bo directly.

In the crowd at this time, as Su Wu said this, Chen Bing, who had been looking at Su Wu frequently, wanted to recognize Su Wu, but hesitated, finally showed excitement on his face and couldn't help but said: "That's right, that's right!

Brother Su - Su Engong, I didn't expect it to be you!

We meet again so soon!"

As Chen Bing spoke, he moved his position, squeezed through the crowd, and walked to Su Wu.

Su Wu looked at him and nodded with a smile.

He then said to Zhou Bo: "This brother Chen Bing is the one who sold me two knives at half the price."

Zhou Bo looked at Chen Bing behind him who was nodding his head, and then looked at Su Wu, with a smile on his face, and replied: "My benefactor, do you need swords, herbs, or cloth now? If necessary, our caravan can supply them. And don’t take any money!”

He brought Chen Bing to him and patted Chen Bing's shoulder hard, saying nothing.

After learning about the relationship between Su Wu and his caravan, Zhou Bo also realized that if it weren't for Chen Bing's friendship with selling knives at half price, I'm afraid Su Wu wouldn't have come to rescue him today!

Chen Bing exchanged the lives of all the caravan brothers for the price of a knife!

This transaction has been well worth it so far!

What's more, the deal is not over yet - Chen Bing's actions have given their caravan the opportunity to continue to contact Su Wu, who can easily suppress such a vicious and cunning figure!

"There is no need for it for the time being." Su Wu smiled and shook his head, then said, "On the other hand, if you are trapped in this stone temple all the time and cannot find the 'grass of life and death', you will be infected by the strange things. I’m afraid it will continue to get worse.”

As soon as Su Wu said this, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on the atmosphere that was gradually getting warmer.

When the caravan members heard his words, their hearts suddenly became heavy.

Some people looked up at the silent golden Buddha sitting on the lotus platform in the temple, and realized what kind of situation they were in.

"It's exactly what my benefactor said.

Only the 'Herb of Life and Death' can temporarily relieve the serious and evil infection in our bodies.

Such a serious and infectious disease is prevalent in the famine-stricken areas of Sichuan and Sichuan, and is called "Guanyin Earth Disease", also known as "Loess Earth Disease". "Zhou Bo nodded heavily. As he spoke, he took off his shoes and socks on the spot, revealing a pair of soles of his feet.

——Dried yellow mud shells completely covered Zhou Bo’s skin from his ankles to the soles of his feet.

The yellow mud shell was covered with cracks, and blood was constantly seeping out of the cracks.

"For people infected with this disease, their feet will first be buried in such loess, and the skin will gradually turn into a yellow mud shell. After that, the symptoms will continue to progress, and the loess will be buried from the ankles to the knees and thighs - until the whole person is covered with yellow mud. When the loess is buried, it will turn into mud on the spot and die!" Chen Bing then spoke to Su Wu. He also took off his shoes and socks to show Su Wu the progress of his "Guanyin Earth Disease", which was similar to Zhou Boxiang.

Su Wu observed the yellow mud shell on their feet and frowned slightly.

In fact, he had never seen any serious contamination on the members of the caravan. As Zhou Bo said before, it was just because he had used the talisman hidden on Chen Bing to get a glimpse of the caravan's situation.

Now he saw with his own eyes the symptoms of the 'Guanyin Earthly Disease' on the two of them, and he never sensed the presence of any weirdness at all!

But if it weren't for the invasion of evil spirits, why would a person's skin and flesh be turned into a loess shell layer by layer? !

"Such a disease is called 'Guanyin soil disease'. Could it be that during the famine years, victims ate the layer of Guanyin soil on the statues of gods and Buddhas in temples and contracted this disease?" Su Wu asked.

Zhou Bo, Chen Bing, and some of the surrounding caravan members all shook their heads after hearing this.

"Isn't that the case?" Su Wu looked up at the crowd and said with some surprise.

"Mr. Lang, you don't know something... We have never eaten that Guanyin soil, but we still contracted this strange disease..."

"It is said that this disease came from a village called 'Guanyinyan'. That village used to believe in Buddhism for generations, but then something unexpected happened and all the Buddha statues were pushed into the river near the village!"

"Since then, the river outside their village has gradually dried up, and the rivers and rivers connected to the river outside their village have also dried up!"

"After that there was a famine!"

"Some people may have contracted this 'Guanyin Disease' because they ate the mud husks on the mud bodies in the temple. Some people just passed through desolate places and contracted this strange disease!"

"We got infected out of nowhere..."

The members of the horse gang started talking about it.

Su Wu looked at Zhou Bo and nodded slightly to him: "Please elaborate."

Zhou Bo responded: "It is true that our caravan just passed through that disaster area and contracted this strange disease when we came out - but contracting this strange disease is not inexplicable and there are no signs.

But I still remember that when I was walking in that disaster-ridden area, I passed through a path in the dense forest.

On that trail, our caravan got lost on the trail, which was less than five miles long.

At that time, the proprietor and his wife led a group of brothers to go into the dense forest. I couldn't persuade him no matter how hard I tried. When I finally led the people out of the dense forest road, the carriage of the proprietor's wife and the proprietor led them. Many brothers in the dense forest have already appeared outside the dense forest road.

Only the proprietor was missing.

Since then, these brothers have been infected with the "Guanyin Disease". Their disease progressed very quickly. They only lasted five or seven days before they began to die in large numbers...

Among those people, only the proprietor’s wife is still alive..."
