Chapter 422: Good Seeds, Good Seeds

As soon as the woman was completely freed from the state of escaping death, she let out an earth-shattering scream. The loudness of its voice fully demonstrates the truth that "the body is strong, the lung capacity is large, so the voice must be high-pitched".

Such a scream made Zheng Zong shrink into He Mulan's arms again, but He Mu Lan no longer had a good temper.

No matter what medicine these people sell in their gourds, they must be poured out for her tonight.

It's a terrible feeling to be kept in the dark like this!

The woman's screams really attracted a lot of people, and the light of the torches outside the house was so bright that the woman wanted to escape, but she was grabbed by Hermulan and walked outside the house.

Seeing that the woman was pressed out by Hemulan, the men outside the house showed surprised expressions, and the women who came later to hear the news scolded at the woman.

This kind of confusion that makes people completely confused once again hit the hearts of He Mulan and Zheng Zong, and since they were saved by these people, such confusion has not been once or twice.

Jiang Shui, the middle-aged man who had been in contact with them a few times before, that is, the middle-aged man who communicated with them, walked out of the crowd with a torch and asked the woman a few words in the local dialect with a cold face.

The woman wept and howled in reply, and then the faces of the people of the village turned ugly.

"You let her go, she has no ill will."

Jiang Shui looked at the two of them sincerely.

Zheng Zong immediately translated.

"You can let her go, you have to tell us what you want to do."

He Mulan has been a general all year round, and once he recognizes the truth, the power of his body is by no means ordinary. Many of the men's faces became even more ugly, but the women cried out in surprise and hurriedly said something.

This scene was so weird that He Mulan's hand couldn't help but tighten. Her strength was so great that the woman suddenly rolled her eyes under her pressure, and she was about to faint to death.

"Strong man, please be merciful! She's just trying to borrow seeds! "

Jiang Shui thought that He Mulan wanted to strangle her, and shouted to explain.

"What?"

Zheng Zong's face darkened.

"You speak human words!"

"What did he say?"

He Mulan looked at Zheng Zong in ignorance, and the latter looked like he would pounce at any moment.

"Hey, this matter is a long story and complicated ......" Jiang Shui seemed to know that there was no way to hide it all the time, but his face was full of hesitation.

"That's a long story short!"

After Zheng Zong screamed, he simply sat down cross-legged.

"I'll just sit here and listen!"

This place is called Chaojingtou, of course it is not a chaotic scream. In such an extremely inhospitable place as the Tengger Desert, there are many incredible places, and this is one of them.

This place, called "Ranjing", actually has several springs that will bubble water. Although the water flow is not large, and the water from each spring is strange, in the desert where water is as precious as gold, the villagers who are in the troubled wells rely on this water to save their lives.

It is at the southern end of the desert, not as bad as the central location, and it is far away from the oases and trade routes, and few people set foot on it, because of this, the chaotic well with water sources is not targeted by many forces, and it is not like many desert villages that are swept up by horse thieves from time to time.

However, the isolation has also caused many difficulties in the life of the people in this village.

It is not easy to grow in the desert, which makes the people in the chaotic well beach often need to go out to change something that can be used, or find some food to eat.

There is a well in the muddy well beach is a salt well, which can produce some salt, which is the most valuable thing here besides water, and their daily needs are obtained from this salt well.

They did not dare to go to the oases in the desert or to the nearby villages and towns, and the men often had to carry their belongings all the way south, far away to exchange for the necessary things.

I don't know how many tragedies there are in the desert because of the water source, and they don't dare to risk it.

This is how Hermulan was rescued, and she was met by a caravan returning from exchanging goods.

And what can be eaten, talking about it will make all outsiders sick.

People here like to eat a desert rat called the earth rat in the desert, this kind of rat is fat, the meat is tender, and there is no peculiar smell, whether it is roasted and boiled to eat, it is very suitable, and this kind of earth rat is often seen nearby, after all, there is a spring means that there is water underground, so the residents of the village can easily catch them at night and feast on them.

He Mullan and the others heard all kinds of movements in the middle of the night, and the sound of people coming and going, all of which were the sounds of people here dragging their families to dig out the sand burrows of earth rats at night.

The bags are certainly not those who are thirsty to death (where are so many people picking up and feeding (_(), but the living and captured ground rats.

As for fried scorpions, roasted snake meat, and many, many other unacceptable foods, they are delicious from God.

Considering that the people outside might not dare to eat some strange things, they cooked the earth rats that tasted similar to pork for He Mulan and Zheng Zong to eat, and these earth rats often had grass seeds and tubers in their nests, and the people in the village relied on these to supplement their nutrition, and they could be regarded as eating green vegetables.

What they said before was not fake, it is rare to see outsiders here, and outsiders can't tell whether they are good people or not, so if they meet people who are dying of thirst or seriously injured, they will be dragged to this single house a little far away from the village, lack of water and water, there is no way to get injured, there is a lack of herbs here, can not. [,! It does depend on the providence of God to be saved.

He Mulan doesn't look easy to mess with, there is wolf skin and wolf meat on his body, a body of wolf blood, obviously a strong man who can deal with wolves, in the desert, wolves never appear alone, these two people were injured and could walk here, and they also killed wolves, if they were ruthless, it was possible to kill a bloody sky, most of the men in the whole village didn't want to save such a bad star back, and those who wanted to save and those who didn't want to save had a dispute, so He Mulan and Zheng Zong were left in the house to fend for themselves.

But the women in the village all wanted to save people, so some women sneaked into the house to bring medicine and water to Zheng Zong and He Mulan, thinking that the two of them would survive.

Since they all survived, in order not to offend the "evil star", the village also has good food and drink, and they want to brush up their favorability before proceeding to the next step.

Yes, the next step.

The faces of He Mulan and Zheng Zong, who were going to say this, turned green.

"I really want to borrow seeds." Jiang Shui shook his head helplessly, "Our village is very small, and it was originally fine, but I don't know when it started, as if it was under a curse, and the young women in the village gave birth to brainless children three times in a row......"

He shuddered.

"You've probably never seen a child without a brain, born with no brain, not only no brain, no scalp, no skull, just a transparent skin on the top of the head, and you can see that there is nothing in it. Such a child is born dead, and even if he does not die, he can only be thrown away......"

How dare you raise!

As soon as He Mulan heard it, he understood that this village must have been married by close relatives because of its isolation, and because there are fewer and fewer people, the probability of close relatives is also increasing, and it may be that the "brainless" genes carried by people in this village are becoming more and more dominant because of this, so in the future, the probability of deformed children and disabled children is even greater.

"In the beginning, only two or three out of ten children were like this, and in the end, the children who seemed to have no problems either became fools or paralyzed, and less than 12 out of 10 were good. Because of this, the women in the village dare not have children, nor dare they let men touch them, and the good days are getting worse and worse......"

Zheng Zong also gradually changed from a cross-legged posture to a straight seat, and continued to listen to them.

Jiang Shui didn't want them to wander around in the earthen hut over there, not because he was afraid that they would run away, but as the population became smaller and smaller, many houses became empty houses, and there were demented children or crazy children locked up in them.

They were afraid that He Mulan had misunderstood the violent murder, and of course they didn't dare her to walk around.

The latter thing is very easy to understand, there are always unhealthy children in the village, and the older people in these villages think that the problem is born in men, because the seed is a man's, and the fact that a woman can have a child means that there is nothing wrong with a woman, at this time they put their hope on the men outside, and when they go out to exchange things, they will also bring a few women, borrow seeds outside, and then come back to give birth to normal children.

It's a pity that the women in the messy well are generally ugly, and many young women run away after going out and never come back, which does not help the survival of the whole village, and also loses young women, so such "borrowed seeds" become less, and the village will exchange "water" for "seeds" when people are occasionally rescued or lost caravans pass by.

This kind of thing is also very dangerous, and once the salt and water production in the messy well is discovered by people with bad intentions, the village does not have to wait for it to slowly disappear.

The team that went outside to exchange daily necessities rescued He Mulan and Zheng Zong, because there was a middle-aged aunt in the team who went out to borrow seeds.

This aunt's son is an idiot, she is very loyal to the village and will not run away, but she has gone out to borrow seeds many times and has not been pregnant, so she wonders if the "seed" is not strong enough.

He Mulan, who was injured all over his body and could kill wolves, became the "target" of the aunt, and when the men took the gold, she took both of them back to the village, hoping to successfully "borrow seeds".

The men in the village, especially the men who used ginger water as the man, did not think that He Mulan was the one who would obediently contribute his energy for water and food before, but the women in the whole village were in a commotion, eager to feed He Mulan and Zheng Zong and "work" quickly.

Because the "seeds" are not good, the men in this village are discriminated against by women, and they bow their heads in everything they do, and because women are afraid of giving birth to deformed children, they are no longer enthusiastic about that kind of thing, and they are extremely depressed one by one. In this case, it was almost impossible for the two Mullins to hope that the men would treat them heartily and warmly, so that every day only the women came and pinched and grabbed them, while the men only ate and drank.

The young women all ran away, and those who stayed were aunts in their thirties like wolves and forty tigers, Zheng Zong was almost naked when he was rescued, and several women saw his "figure", and disliked him for being disfigured and thin, so they were naturally more interested in He Mulan.

Especially after Hermulan unintentionally showed his strength and ability, these hungry women almost stood in front of Hermulan and shouted, "I will give you a monkey".

Helplessly, the language is not understood, He Mulan is still very calm, and these women can only be cautious and curry favor with Zheng Zong, often giving small favors, just to save the country.

Even if the place is small, for the sake of men, there will be no shortage of intrigue between these women, and the one who attacked at night tonight was the middle-aged woman who brought Hermulan back, she thought that she had saved Hermulan back, and she was the "hero" who often went out to "borrow seeds" in the village, if she made that kind of request, she was the best candidate.

But the other women took her older, how old she was, how old she was. [,! The borrowing was unsuccessful, and even teased her with words such as Hermulan was like an aunt to her, and there were often women younger than her who used excuses to hook up with Hermulan, and this woman didn't know which tendon was wrong at night, so she actually treated Hermulan with what she had done when she was outside.

The result was, of course, disastrous.

He Mulan, who was too vigilant, almost cut her throat, and Zheng Zong, who exploded, almost strangled her.

And the reason is so absurd.

There is water, there is salt, but there is no village of people.

Even the continuation has become a problem, but he refuses to leave the spring......

A group of thirty or forty-year-old aunts are guarding dementia children while thinking that men can borrow seeds to have new children.

A group of men obviously have wives but dare not follow the way of husband and wife, relying on the scorpion to eat the body is strong, but there is no place to use the strength.

What's all this called?!

"Give me back my rock and dagger first."

He Mulan frowned and looked at the man named Jiang Shui.

If she guessed correctly, he should be in a position similar to that of the village chief.

Zheng Zong immediately did his duty as a translator.

Jiang Shui also hated this woman for being reckless and brainless, but she might already have a borrowed child in her womb, so they were so cautious.

Hearing He Mulan's words, Jiang Shui asked with an uneasy face, "If you give him the weapon, he won't do anything bad, right......?" For example......

"Murder, huh?" Zheng Zong snorted with mockery on his face, "Don't worry, you are all our benefactors, and we won't do anything for this kind of thing. Besides, you don't even know who the person you saved is, so you dare to borrow seeds? Not afraid of getting into trouble? This is a warrior who can kill without a sword! "

Hmph, you're doomed to disappointment.

His general is a broken sleeve!

"I just wanted to send you away, it was these women...... Jiang Shui was also a strict wife, muttering and ordering the others to bring weapons.

After Hermulan made sure that he would not do anything, the men threw the rock and dagger on the ground not far from Hermulan. Because the rock is too heavy, even two men lost it so far.

He Mulan looked at the weapon at his feet, pushed the woman away, picked up the rock from the ground and stuck it in his belt, and threw the dagger to Zheng Zong.

"What do you say now?" He Mulan asked Zheng Zong in Xianbei words.

"I think that if they can't borrow seeds, or if they borrow seeds, I'm afraid they will have to find a way to kill us." Zheng Zong's face was a little gloomy in the firelight, "I always feel that they didn't say everything."

"Huh?"

"If there is a spring and a village, why don't you know any guides? They were able to go south to exchange goods, which means that they often go in and out of the desert, and the presence of this single house also shows that this village is not unattended, but there is no news about this village at all......"

Zheng Zong has always thought of people as bad.

"They may not be who they say they are. I think it's a bit mysterious to want to just go this way, and to have them guide us in the right direction."

"You mean......" Hermulan lowered his voice. Will they lead us down the wrong path?"

"Maybe no one knows about the mess."

Because everyone who went out went the wrong way and ended up lost in the desert.

He Mulan frowned, glanced at the villagers with different faces outside, and poked Zheng Zong.

"I'll tell you, you translate."

"Oh."

"There's no way I'm going to lend you seeds, because I don't think it's acceptable to do this just to have children."

He Mulan's expression was very stern.

Zheng Zong tried his best to suppress the urge to laugh and translate her words.

"But I know why you are like this, you are right, it is true that only by uniting with people outside can you reach out healthy children. Men and other women, women and other men, can have healthy offspring, and the farther away you live, the more likely you are to have healthy children."

Zheng Zong translated He Mulan's words, but the people outside the house were all boiling.

Especially men, they always think that their seed is sick, so they let women become like this, and this person says that there is nothing wrong with them, but they have to be united with outsiders?

"How do you know! Maybe you're just talking nonsense! "

A woman screamed.

The men here are very strong, because there are many Di and Lu Shuihu, they are all middle-to-high, and some are even very handsome, but the women are very stout and dark, once they really go out, it should be easy for men to find a wife, but it is difficult for these women to "borrow" to ensure that they can start a family again.

Moreover, the long-term environment of female dominance and male suppression in the chaotic well has made the women develop a high-spirited temperament, and now when they heard He Mulan say such things, they were immediately flustered, and many women even had a premonition of a terrible future, and began to regret why these two outsiders stayed in the village.

"I've seen quite a few things like this. Such things are also common outside the desert. This will be the case in many isolated villages in the future, because the union of blood relatives can easily give birth to this 'curse'." "So the only way to solve it is ......."

She looked at the men who were suddenly excited by Zheng Zong's words.

"You go out and give up this place completely and go live somewhere else."
