Chapter 52: Blindness
"I'm afraid the girl is everyone's young lady in Yancheng!" The woman smiled and explained: "This is the border of Yancheng, it is very remote, and it is normal for the girl not to know." ā
Hearing that she was still in Yancheng, You Wu breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't cross over, and she didn't have to face those unknown difficulties. But why, her eyes can't see clearly?
At this time, the hot cloth towel in the woman's hand had already cooled down. The woman put the cloth towel into the hot water, damp it again, and handed it to You Wu, but You Wu still didn't react, and she noticed that You Wu was abnormal.
"Girl, your eyes?" The woman let out a surprised voice and stretched out her hand to shake it in front of You Wu's eyes before she realized this.
You Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, that's it after waking up." ā
"The girl can see clearly?"
"Nature can see clearly."
The woman thought for a moment, saw the wound on You Wu's forehead, and asked cautiously, "Girl, what is the wound on your forehead?" ā
You Wu attached it to his forehead, but when he touched it slightly, his forehead tingled, "The wound was caused by me when I was at home, but it got worse and worse later." Thinking of his relatives at home, You Wu was a little depressed.
When the shopkeeper saw this, she thought that You Wu didn't want to say something sad, so she lied to deceive her, but she was ashamed in her heart, so she showed this sad and bowed her head. The woman took a closer look at the wound on You Wu's forehead, guessing that You Wu's blindness was only caused by the wound on her forehead. Thinking that such a good girl was ruined by bandits, the woman was both angry and sad for You Wu.
Not hearing the woman's answer, You Wu was a little flustered, reached out to touch, and almost broke the hot water basin on the side.
The woman came back to her senses, hurriedly supported her, and said with concern: "Girl, what's wrong?" ā
"IāI have a request!" You Wu clung to the woman tightly, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and was unwilling to let go.
"You say!"
"Can you help bring a letter to my family?"
Hearing this, the woman fell silent.
After a long time, she said slowly: "Girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but now, we can't protect ourselves." ā
The woman helped You Wu, her eyes peeked out of the window, and she said softly: "Three months ago, an adult who recruited soldiers came to the town to promote the benefits of recruitment. Many of the able-bodied men in the town have signed up, and my man is ready to enlist. As she spoke, a hint of fear appeared in the woman's eyes, and she paused before continuing, "But when he went to the residence where the recruiter was, he got the news. The recruiter died, and his body was dismembered in the room, covered with blood, and his face could not be seen clearly. ā
The woman sighed, as if to ease her mood, "Later, the mayor was afraid that this matter would implicate the townspeople, so he sealed the house. But the townspeople were still terrified, and they couldn't sleep well every day. The mayor was also worried that someone from above would be held responsible, and five days later, he fled with his family. ā
"And then?" You Wu didn't see the situation in the town, and she didn't understand the fear in the woman's heart.
"Then, then doom came. Soon after the mayor fled, a series of terrorist attacks began to take place in the town. Every night, a family in the town is slaughtered, and all of these slaughtered families have young men who have signed up for the army. Some people say that the dead recruiter came back to lock his soul, but some people say that it was done by bandits. Whatever the truth may be, from now on, as soon as the day falls, the doors of every house are closed, fearing that thieves or ghosts will come to the door. ā
You Wu is not afraid of ghosts and gods, and she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she is a weird existence, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of these things. But I'm afraid that the murders in this town are not done by ghosts and gods, but by those vicious bandits.
Thinking of this, You Wu was shocked, could it be that those thieves who wanted to kidnap her last night? She remembered that at the end someone gave her a whip, and then she fell to the ground, never to get up again. Afterward...... You Wu frowned and thought, later, it seemed that someone came to save her, and that person was ......
"Akichi!" You Wu screamed violently, startling the woman in the store, and couldn't care about anything else, You Wu asked eagerly, "Sister, did you take me in alone?" But you still see a man in his twenties? ā
"Girl, you weren't saved by me! Last night, a group of people came to ask for accommodation, and they brought you here. Perhaps, they know. ā
"Can you take me to them?" Looking at You Wu's expectant face, the woman got up and helped her up and slowly walked out of the room.
On the other end, when the woman in the store told You Wu about the incident in Jingxi Town, the middle-aged man was also informing about the incident, but the object he told was the previous Xiao Zhengtai.
"Master, that's the way things are, that's why the people of Jingxi Town don't dare to open the door at night."
"Stupid, how can there be ghosts and gods in this world! There must be thieves doing the trick, why don't they report to the police? Xiao Zhengtai looked angry and looked immature and cute, but what he said was extremely old, like a big official.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man also looked serious, and carefully analyzed: "This place is remote, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are no other cities and towns adjacent to each other, if you want to reach the Yancheng prefect to report to the official, it will take three days." And such a long distance is enough for the bandits to kill people. What's more, the mayor of the town has fled, and the others have no idea at all, so they can only sit and wait for death. In a short period of time, the middle-aged man has completely figured out what happened, which shows his strong means.
The flames above Xiao Zhengtai's head were even worse, he slammed the table and scolded angrily: "Lang Lang Qiankun, there are still such rampant thieves, I will definitely punish them severely." ā
When the words fell, the middle-aged man's face changed, and he glanced around vigilantly, and when he saw that no one noticed, he reminded in a low voice: "Master, it's wrong, it's wrong." ā
Xiao Zhengtai noticed this, pursed his lips, and hummed softly, but he didn't care much.
The room was quiet for a moment, and there was a light footstep outside, and the middle-aged man whispered again: "Master, please, don't be wrong!" ā
Xiao Zhengtai was silent, and he acquiesced.
There was a knock on the door, and outside the house, the shopkeeper helped You Wu and said, "My lord, the girl you brought earlier has woken up, and she wants to see you." ā
The middle-aged man opened the door, saw You Wu, looked at her carefully, doubts flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ā
You Wu followed the woman of the store into the house, but forgot the threshold, stumbled under her feet, and almost fell, but fortunately, the woman had great strength and grabbed her steadily.
The middle-aged man noticed this scene, his puzzled expression disappeared slightly, and his eyes were clear, but he didn't make a sound. And the little Zhengtai in the house also saw this scene, and immediately said loudly: "This woman is blind!" ā
Just stood firm under his feet, and when he heard this, You Wu stumbled again, but this time, he was angry. She can't see who speaks, but she can hear and discern sounds. Just now, the person who mocked her seemed to be just a child, You Wu's face turned green, and she couldn't help cursing in her heart.
The woman in the store was also a little embarrassed, she saw that You Wu's face was not good, and then explained: "This girl could have seen clearly, but because of a head injury, she had this problem. If you ask a doctor to recuperate, you will definitely be cured. ā
I hadn't heard a woman say such a thing before, You Wu looked surprised, and was about to confirm, but on the side, there was a voice that was not flattened, "What if it can be cured, it's not blind now!" ā
