Chapter 223: Weird
"Why can't you keep snakes?" Mi Li'er asked curiously.
The faces of the people in the village changed greatly when they talked about snakes, which made Mi Li'er very puzzled.
Even if the snake is poisonous, it is not afraid of it.
"Because the strange disease we have has something to do with these snakes." Vigorously sighed and said. "Now that we know that it's all snakes, we don't let people keep snakes anymore."
"Won't you meet snakes when you go to the mountains?" Mi Li'er is even more puzzled, if you don't let snakes be raised, won't you meet snakes in the mountains?
"That's why we usually only let strong men go up the mountain, women and children can't go up the mountain." He sighed vigorously and said helplessly.
I'm afraid of snakes to this extent, and the people in this village are living aggrieved enough.
Mi Li'er had to ask again, and someone had already come to find Dali: "Dali, they are dead." ”
Mi Li'er knew that "they" were the children who sat by the well and waited for death.
Being alive is a pain for them, but dying is a relief.
"Childe, let's go burn some rune paper for them." Mi Li'er said to Mu Fanchen.
These children did not die naturally, and Mi Li'er was worried that the resentment in their hearts was too great to be reincarnated.
Burn a few rebirth spells, and when the resentment is gone, you can have the next life.
Before the crossing, Mi Li'er would never believe in these things, but after crossing here, she had really seen everything and was willing to believe everything.
"Let's go." Mu Fanchen and Mi Li'er followed vigorously and went to the well.
The dead children had been put in bags.
Mi Li'er stared at the bag while burning the talisman paper.
"Don't you need a coffin?" Mi Li'er asked.
Shaking his head vigorously, he said, "There are too many people in the village, and there is no need for coffins at all." ”
"What about their parents?" Mi Li'er asked again. She is always entangled in this matter, and the family affection in this village seems to be particularly weak.
Now that these children are dead, there is no crying at all, and everyone is used to it.
"Their parents didn't come." The bell has become Mi Li'er's follower, and she will follow Mi Li'er wherever she goes.
After burning the death spell with his own hands, Mi Li'er glanced at the cloth bags again and left.
In this world, there are too many helpless things, especially such things, Mi Li'er has no ability to care.
She can't cure the strange diseases of those children, and how to deal with the children when they die is not her responsibility.
Since he couldn't ask for news, Mu Fanchen decided to take a day off today and go to another village tomorrow to ask.
Ask more people, there is always a clue.
He has always been in a hurry, but he is not in a hurry now.
Dali originally wanted Mi Li'er to live in the bell's house, but Mi Li'er said, "I'd better live with our son-in-law." ”
In this village, there are strange things everywhere, so it's better to be careful.
The bell tugged Mi Li'er's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister, you can stay with me for one night, I'm so lonely." ”
"No, I can't leave my son for a single night." Mi Li'er categorically refused.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Rao is an open Lingnan folk style, but there are still few girls like Mi Lier who openly want to live with her lover.
But since Mi Li'er said so, everyone no longer insisted on it.
Lying on the bed, Mu Fanchen couldn't help but tease Mi Li'er: "You want to live with me so much?" ”
Mi Li'er rolled her eyes in the darkness and said, "This place is full of weirdness, if it weren't for taking care of you, would I be so dead-faced?" ”
"Take care of me?"
"Well, you are so careless, what's the use of cultivating to a higher level? When two monsters say they believe in Buddhism, you let down all your guards. Mi Li'er said seriously.
The second thing Mu Fanchen was afraid of people mentioning in his life was this incident, he grabbed Mi Li'er's hand and threatened: "Don't mention this matter in the future!" "He doesn't trust people easily anymore.
Mi Li'er didn't relent: "I want to remind you every day, so that you can always be vigilant and not make mistakes." I've decided to remind you every day of the day. ”
If you want to threaten Mu Fanchen again, Mi Li'er's palms itched.
She couldn't stop laughing, and she couldn't tease Mu Fanchen anymore.
Only the strangeness of this village, Mu Fanchen and Mi Li'er decided to ignore it for the time being.
Nothing is important for Mu Fanen to find an antidote.
The next morning, while Mi Li'er was still asleep, the bell came knocking on the door.
They went to say goodbye to Dali, Dali thought about it, and said to the two: "I see that the two of you are not ordinary people, and you have some skills at first glance." In fact, there are some stockades in the mountains, you can go and ask. There are no snake keepers at the foot of the mountain. But you have to protect yourself. ”
Mu Fanchen thanked him.
The bell grabbed Mi Li'er's hand and was reluctant to let her go.
Mi Li'er went to the carriage and took out a lot of food and gave it to the bell.
Don't want the bell, and pleaded with Mi Li'er with tears in her eyes: "Sister, take me away, take me away." I want to go out and see. ”
"If you leave, what will happen to your father? Also, you're too small. Mi Li'er reluctantly refused.
vigorously reprimanded the bell and said: "Don't be whimsical, you think that you can live without the village!" Hurry home! ”
The bell shrunk his neck and turned back to go upstairs.
Mi Li'er couldn't bear it, but there was no way. Everyone has their own life.
The carriages were stored in the stockade to be retrieved when they came down the mountain.
Although Mi Li'er was very worried, the horse might be roasted and eaten by hungry villagers.
Out of the village, Mu Fanchen decided to go to the village on the mountain with Mi Li'er to have a look.
The road up the mountain is not easy to walk, but Mu Fanchen and Mi Li'er walk on the ground.
Mi Li'er originally thought that the locals were so afraid of snakes, and there should be few snakes on the road.
But after walking a short distance, she noticed that there were snakes everywhere.
There were snakes in the grass on the side of the road, snakes wrapped around the trees, and even many snakes swaggered up and down the road.
Seeing Mi Li'er and Mu Fanchen, he raised his head to look at them. Mi Li'er lowered her head and just glanced at the snake.
"Childe, look at the snake!" Mi Li'er was startled, grabbed Mu Fanchen's arm and said.
By the time Mu Fanchen looked at it again, the snake had already crawled away.
Gently patting Mi Li'er's hand, Mu Fanchen asked, "What did you see?" ”
"I saw the snake with a pair of eyes!" Mi Li'er was terrified.
Mu Fanchen said thoughtfully: "When we walk, we have to be more careful, don't be bitten by snakes." ”
"Hmm!" Mi Li'er nodded heavily.
After walking for half a morning, I finally arrived at the stockade that Dali said in his mouth.
Compared with the dense villages at the bottom of the mountain, there are many fewer villages on the mountain.
