Chapter 456: Contemptuous Surname Left (I)
Chapter 456 Contempt Surname Left (I)
I don't know when, there was a person standing behind us. This person looks like he is about forty years old, a middle-aged man, dark-skinned, thin and thin, the people of Baxia County who came over this way are all living well, although there are no fat people, but they are all strong, and then look at the one in front of him, it is obvious that he is malnourished. The man was like he had no bones, half leaning on a stone pier on the side of the road, not only sickly, but also drunk, and for some unknown reason, such a person appeared beside us, and we didn't even notice it. The man looked at me with a look of disdain.
"It's the people sent from above again, and it's a group of ignorant people, I'm the only one in the village who can pant now, if you ask what's going on later, you still have to ask me, and you're not even polite now." The man said.
"This fellow." Uncle Lu walked up, "We are experts from Shanghai, engaged in scientific research, to help investigate the origin of the strange disease in this village. How offended just now, are you a villager in this village? Why don't you see anyone else in the village? Uncle Lu asked.
"It's pretty much the same, depending on how old you are, you're much better than those young ones." The man said, "I'm not from this village, I'm a neighbor of this village." He said.
"You're from the next village?" Sister Wang Na asked.
"How can you, this woman, be their neighbor, must be from the next village? Does it have to be a person to live in the village? I'm not, I'm a village. I'm alone in my village, what's the matter? Isn't that possible? The man said unreasonably.
"Don't take it to heart, young people can't speak, so where have all the people in this village gone?" Uncle Lu asked patiently.
"Where's it? Naturally, you ran away, if the people living around you all got a strange disease within a few days, would you be afraid, although I heard those doctors say that this disease does not seem to be an infectious disease, but it is also quite scary, who else can stay, it didn't take a few days for everyone in this village to run out. Just the day before yesterday, a couple of experts came. Went around here. I didn't find anything useful, so I left. In the past, it was full of people, and there were a lot of tourists every day, but now you can take a look. It's an empty village. I advise you not to bother to do anything. Okay, what should you do, what should you do? The man said.
"What are you talking about? Now that human lives are at stake, since we are here, we will never ignore them. How can you talk like that. Dazhe said angrily.
"Human life is at stake, whose life is it? It's not mine anyway, what's my business? It's not yours, what's your business? Besides, even if you want to find out, can you find out? Listen to me, this person, he is dying, and when he is almost dead, he stops, didn't he say that it is not an infectious disease, what are you afraid of? "That person's irresponsible remarks have made us all dead, and only Uncle Lu is still calm and willing to talk to him, just to find out a little more clues.
"This fellow, I saw that the people in the village were all surnamed Pan, presumably the old brother was also surnamed Pan." Uncle Lu said.
"Who's your fellow countryman? Do you know where my hometown is, just call someone a fellow, but don't blame me for being ruthless, there is no one in this world who calls someone a fellow countryman for no reason. As for me, I don't have a surname Pan, and it's not a good thing, what is there to follow, I heard Lao Tzu's name, I don't even remember myself, but my surname is Zuo. The man said.
"Mr. Zuo." Uncle Lu said politely.
"What is the first birth, sir, depending on your age, we don't know who Mr. is." The man said unceremoniously, "You can call me Zuo Lao or Lao Zuo." He said.
"Zuo Lao?" Uncle Lu said.
"What is old, am I that old?" The man was still dissatisfied.
"Old Zuo?" Uncle Lu corrected.
"Hey, that's right." Finally the man got an answer that satisfied him.
"You really have a lot of things to do, so what option did you give just now, just let us call you Lao Zuo." Yun Xian said angrily.
"Young descendants, I advise you not to talk nonsense, as the saying goes, there are gods in the head, you talk to the elders like this, be careful of being punished by God." This old left said.
"Sister Yin Yin, this old left, he doesn't look like a good person, even if he is not a bad person, he is probably not a normal person, let's not waste time with him." Yun Ning whispered behind me, and I nodded slightly. "Say what? What to say? I'm not a bad person, if I don't rob my house or rob my house, and if I don't kill people and set fires, how can I become a bad person? Besides, am I a normal person, what does it have to do with you, I'm the only one in this village anyway, if you don't think you need me, then I really won't waste your time. "I didn't expect Lao Zuo to hear what we said." How can this man's ears be so good? Min Lan whispered behind him. Lao Zuo, so to speak, do you know the cause of the strange disease in this village? Or do you know any clues? Uncle Lu asked. I don't know if it's a clue or not, but if you're interested, come with me. "Lao Zuo said and stood up, don't say, just now he was half-leaning, he looked sick and crooked, as soon as he stood up, it made me feel that he had a kind of agility, what it felt like not to come out, just like a samurai master, he met an opponent, that kind of aura, not to be underestimated." This old left is not simple, let's keep up with him. I told Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu nodded, and our group followed. This kind of scene is really like a tour group, a tour guide walked in front, followed by ten tourists, I saw Yun Ximing began to make marks along the way, the houses here all look exactly the same, plus the mountain road is winding, the path is constant, in order to prevent fraud, it is always good to keep an eye on it, I quietly gave him a thumbs up, expressing my approval.
This old left is also strange, walking fast and slow, the more difficult to walk, he walked more dexterously, we slowly produced a little distance between him and him, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, sure enough, at a very small fork in the road, a turn, the old left is gone.
"What is the origin of this person, how is it so elusive, this place is so big, why is it so big, and if you can't see it, you won't see it." Yun Ximing said.
"Come and see this, isn't this thing a little familiar?" Sister Wang Na pointed to an ornament hanging in front of a house. It was a woodcut ornament that hung on the door, but the more you looked at it, the more familiar it became.
"Isn't this the old left just now? Why, it turns out that he is a wooden man? Dazhe said with emotion.
"No, you look over there." Uncle Lu casually pointed around, and we found that every household seemed to have the habit of hanging decorations at the door, and those wood-carved decorations were all Lao Zuo's face, which was really incredible.
"What can we do about this, I originally thought this was a clue he left for us, but now it seems that he left us a trick, so many families, which one should we go to?" Dazhe complained.
"I don't think it's a question of which one to go to, just looking at these statues, I can conclude that none of these people should go in, and if we really go in, we won't necessarily encounter anything." Yunxian analysis said.
"What Yun Xian said makes sense, let's not act rashly, follow the mark left by Ximing, let's slowly retreat." I said, so everyone followed me, and we started to go back the way we came, but I accidentally swept to the surrounding houses, and found that all the wooden statues we had just seen were gone.
"It's gone!" I exclaimed.
"What's missing?" Yun Ximing asked.
"Those wooden statues are all gone, and now the ones hanging on the door mountain are all other things." I said, everyone look at the place I said, and sure enough, there are all kinds of decorations hanging on the door, which is really interesting. "It's true, those wooden statues of Lao Zuo just now are all gone." Yun Ximing said. "It seems that this person is no longer as simple as a problem, this person must not be simple, we have to find him quickly, even if we can't find him, we can't act separately anymore, from now on in pairs and twos, we must be careful of what means he uses. For now, he slowly retreated according to Simin's mark. Uncle Lu said.
We then began to turn around and walk back, this time down the hill, much faster than before, and soon we were back where we had started, and although we moved quickly, this back and forth still delayed us for half a day.
"Yin Yin, seeing that half a day has passed, and there has been no progress so far, and everyone's mood is not high because of this madman, what should we do now?" Yun Ximing asked.
"Anyway, we are here now, it is impossible to save them without doing anything, now let's start from the basics, the water source, soil, vegetation, as well as houses, livestock, all need to be checked, and then we will plan the next step." I say. "You're right, that's it." Uncle Lu also agreed.
"Look, the stream here runs through the middle of the village, so let's start with this water, Sister Wang Na, and prepare to collect water samples." I say. Sister Wang Na then quickly prepared a pair of items, I walked to the river, this small river flows through the middle of the village, very clear, do not need to test to know, this water is not a problem, but for the sake of safety, I still squatted down, ready to collect water samples, but suddenly someone said in my ear.
"I thought you were smart enough, but now it seems that you are also a fool, there is no problem with this water, don't waste your efforts." (To be continued.) )
