Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 477 - Chapter 477 Chapter 467 Why the Rush to Fight Each Other

Chapter 477: Chapter 467: Why the Rush to Fight Each Other Chapter 477: Chapter 467: Why the Rush to Fight Each Other Su Shu thought for a moment, “Do they want to use the villagers as test subjects to find a cure for Her Highness?”

Peng Sanye nodded at her, a faint smile on his face, “Exactly, the lives of the commoners are as cheap as grass, why would the nobles care about the lives of mere ants?”

He sighed, “They always say, ‘practicing medicine to save lives, practicing medicine to save lives,’ but sometimes, the hands that save lives can be crueler than the executioner’s. At that time, the sick in the village were tormented badly, especially the man’s wife because not only was she the same age as Her Highness, but she was also the first to fall ill. Consequently, she was endlessly fed various medicines and had to endure all kinds of medical research methods. Strangely enough, despite her condition, she couldn’t die, just hanging on by a thread, living in agony, unable to die.

The head of the household couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to resist, but unfortunately, he was almost beaten to death by the Imperial Guards. To see his wife tormented like that, which man could bear it? Certainly not.

With that, the man remembered a legend passed down from his ancestors, saying there was something strange inside Peng Mountain and that descendants should not enter the mountain unless absolutely necessary. So the saying from his ancestors went.

But at that time, driven by desperation to save his wife, he didn’t care about anything else. It was either life or death. There were only these two options. ‘So make your choice,’ he decided to take the risk. He made up a lie and said to the Imperial Physician and the General that there was a miraculous thing in the mountain that could revive the dead, and if they could obtain it, it would definitely save the Her Highness in the palace.

The Imperial Physician and the General were very interested when they heard this. However, entering the mountain was very risky at that time, not like now; after many years of deforestation, there aren’t many wild animals left in the mountains. Back then, what fierce beasts weren’t there in the old forest? The Tiger Tyrant King, blind bears wandering around the woods every day, it was too dangerous to enter the mountain.

In the village, people were very resentful towards the young man at that time for bringing in a woman from outside, causing harm to the community. Now, he had attracted a bunch of calamities, turning the village into a place full of smoke and miasma, and they were very distressed.

Having already fabricated the lie, he had to bite the bullet and go on. Probably out of guilt, the man thought, ‘I might as well die.’ He would lead them into the mountain, and whether they found it or not, let the fierce beasts eat them. Then the people in the village wouldn’t have to suffer anymore. Therefore, he volunteered to lead the team to search.”

Wang Meng had been listening intently. When he heard this, he suddenly asked, “He said he would lead the team, and the Imperial Physicians and soldiers just followed him?”

“That’s right, even if this group died, wouldn’t the Capital City just send more people?” Zhang Dongke added from the side.

Peng Sanye said, “Yes, that’s true. But back then, the villagers couldn’t read a single character. How far could you expect them to think? Suffering now, the only thing to do was to get rid of the people causing their suffering,”

Everyone nodded in agreement, that was the case.

Peng Sanye continued, “Later, the Imperial Physician and the General discussed it and decided to enter the mountain. The young man had to be the guide, but they were not reassured by him alone. So, they grabbed a few strong villagers to accompany them into the mountain. That still wasn’t enough. At that time, a nameless Taoist, also wanted to enter the mountain on his own but was afraid. Seeing these strong soldiers, he decided to hitch a ride. No one knows what he told the General, but afterward, they traveled together, and picked five boys and five girls from the surrounding villages, claiming they would be useful.”

Led by the young man, this group majestically entered the mountain. He had thought wrongly; he assumed he could lead everyone into the mountain, but when it came to actually entering, he found that the the General had left half the forces in the village, setting a deadline. If they didn’t return, everyone in the village would be killed. At that point, the young man was truly scared.

The tale of the mountain was his invention; what miraculous thing that could revive the dead? Where could he lead them? As they cautiously moved deeper, they encountered dangers several times but were fortunate to survive.

After many days of anxiety, finally, deep in the mountains, they encountered a bizarre event that saved them as if from fire and water.”
