Chapter 76: The True Source
Sang Qingrou always thought that Ouyang Shuo was a prince who was raised in a rich life, maybe he was really powerful, but she never felt the blood on Ouyang Shuo's body.
It wasn't until just now, seeing his resolute eyes, that Sang Qingrou really felt what it was like for a general to die in a hundred battles.
"You are the prince, but you have to lead the army to fight. Have you ever thought that fate is unfair to you? Just like King Li, he doesn't have to suffer these hardships. ”
"Everyone has a mission that they are destined to accomplish. I can't live like my seventh brother, I am doomed, I have to live a tiring life. If the king's efforts can make the people of Taichen Kingdom live a more stable life, it will be worth the effort. ”
"What are you doing this for?rights, status?" Sang Qingrou was curious, why men always sought after these, and even did anything for that position.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at her and said coldly: "Didn't Prime Minister Sang teach you? It is a big taboo for women to discuss the government at will! How can you understand these things when you are in the boudoir all day long? Just what you said just now, it is already a great rebellion. ”
"Anyway, you're the only one who hears it, what's this. If you don't say it, won't anyone know?"
Sang Qingrou, who was vomiting a lot just now, was already laughing at this moment.
This smile made Ouyang Shuo's eyes clouded with a layer of fog, and he couldn't understand what she cared about.
Once, this woman may have cared about herself very much, but now, looking at her clear and open-minded eyes, Ouyang Shuo understands that what she cares about is no longer on her.
is like a paper kite flying freely in the sky, without that rope, Ouyang Shuo seems to be unable to catch her.
"Sang Qingrou, the way you look, this king really can't understand you more and more. ”
If you want to know what I'm thinking, I can tell you right now. I just thought, hurry up and help you make a great contribution, and you can go to the emperor to ask for your life and dissolve the marriage contract. ”
"And then?"
Seeing Sang Qingrou walking past him, he subconsciously grabbed Sang Qingrou's hand.
This woman used to stick to herself shamelessly all day long, and she wanted to marry herself as a concubine. Now he talks about the dissolution of the marriage contract every day.
He really wanted to dig out this woman's heart and see what was in there.
Or is it that women are fickle and can change their preferences in the blink of an eye, including the person they love.
Sang Qingrou turned to look at him, not understanding why he suddenly asked that.
"And then, you think, I was disfigured, and my marriage was dissolved, and I must be useless wastewood. I guess I'll be sent to the middle of nowhere by my father!"
Now that she knows her fate, she is not sad at all, and it seems that she is still very happy.
"Knowing what fate you will face, why are you not worried at all?"
"Why should I worry? Isn't it good to be in the middle of nowhere? If I go, no one will take care of me. When the time comes, I will take Ruyu with me, and I can go wherever I want. That's true freedom!"
Sang Qingrou began to look forward to her own future, which was her own future.
"The Taichen Kingdom is so big, and the world outside the Taichen Kingdom is so vast, why don't I go and take a look, and I have to lock myself in a small courtyard? No matter how gorgeous the mansion is, how can it be compared to the whole world?"
"You're going alone?"
"No, if Ruyu is willing to go with me, I will take her with me. When the time comes, I can play while walking, see thousands of rivers and mountains, and live a great life. ”
It's the first time Ouyang Shuo has heard a woman plan her life like this, isn't every woman thinking that when she grows up, she will find a wishful husband to marry, teach her husband and children, and live a happy life from now on?
If you have some ideas, you will choose a better man, let yourself become the wife of an official family, and live a rich life.
Only Sang Qingrou was thinking that she was wandering alone.
"What if you're too old to walk?"
"If you can't walk, then go wherever you go. In short, if you have seen it, you will have no regrets. Do you say?"
Sang Qingrou looked back at him with a sincere look in her eyes.
Seeing that Ouyang Shuo didn't speak, he suddenly remembered that they had come to the mass grave not to talk about the future.
"Alright, a big man like you won't understand what I'm thinking, we're not here to talk, we should go and see where this brook leads. ”
If Sang Qingrou didn't guess wrong, the problem should lie in the pus and blood flowing from this stream.
Think about it, it's no wonder that the villagers use this polluted water to cook or drink it directly, and not get sick.
Sang Qingrou originally thought that the pus and blood water would flow into a stream, leading directly to the small river passing through the village, but who knew that the stream had dried up before it flowed to the river, and there was no trace of it flowing any further.
The blood sank directly into the soil and disappeared.
"It seems that you guessed wrong. ”
Sang Qingrou looked at the corpse mountain behind her, and then at the broken stream under her feet, and frowned.
"How so?"
If it's not a problem with the water source, then what's wrong?
Could it be that the problem is in these corpses?
However, with so many corpses, we can't let everyone turn them out one by one, right? Most of these corpses are so decomposed that even if there is a problem, with the current technology, they cannot be distinguished at all.
Now, they're really in trouble.
Sang Qingrou wanted to think about it carefully and see if she could remember something useful.
However, as soon as she thought about it, her brain hurt like a pinprick. She didn't dare to think about it, worried that Ouyang Shuo would see the clue.
At this moment, Qi Yue hurriedly ran over, his face a little ugly.
"Master, the situation over there is a bit complicated, I'm afraid I want you to go over and see for yourself. The subordinates don't know what to say!"
"Lead the way!"
Sang Qingrou followed closely behind them, and in this pile of corpses, she didn't dare to stay here alone.
Just in the direction of the west of the corpse pit, the sound of running water was gradually heard. Sure enough, this is the river leading to Wangjia Village, and the villagers live on the water in this river.
The guards all gathered around the river and whispered, and when Ouyang Shuo rushed over, everyone dispersed.
Sang Qingrou saw from a distance that there was a rotting corpse lying on the river, one of which was completely soaked in water. The corpse was surrounded by flies, the degree of decay can be imagined, and some of the corpse insects were still floating on the water, which looked even more disgusting.
Her stomach churned, and she almost threw up.
"What's going on?"
"Back to the prince, probably, this is the crux of the matter. ”
Suddenly, everyone held their breath. Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone didn't dare to step forward, let alone know where to start.
Why is this corpse lying by the river?
