542 Vitex Carp
After entering the house, the two asked the old man many questions, and affirmed that the purple flower was a wattle flower, and then said, "We may know the reason, but we will have to wait for the evening when the whole village comes back to explain." ā
When the old man heard this, he was very grateful, and he kept saying words of gratitude. Thinking that these two people could have avoided a catastrophe by coming two days earlier, and only a few people in the village had been saved their lives, I couldn't help but feel sad and wept bitterly.
I cried until I finally felt sorry for myself, and went back to the house to cry for the spirit. When the boy was young, he couldn't help but cry when he heard his grandfather crying.
Hua Tian and Zhong Liche sat under the thorn tree, listening to the old man and the boy crying bitterly, the sadness in the cry was so obvious, they couldn't help but feel a little sour in their hearts.
The two looked at each other, their faces uncomfortable, but their eyes were extremely helpless.
There are all things in this world, how could the two of them know that so many tragedies have happened here? After several days of wandering around the town, and days of walking in the neighboring villages, I had never heard of such a calamity in this village.
If it weren't for the coincidence that I came here, I'm afraid that the tragedy here will not know how many years it will be repeated! If the village is not particularly large, if it is not relocated, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be extinct.
This is the deepest feeling of Zhonghua Tian, she died tragically early in that life, and it is impossible for this later thing to happen. Even if you don't die tragically, don't say that you don't have the opportunity to come here, even if you come, you don't know about "Jinghua Committing Carp"!
In this way, if the village is not relocated, it is a sure thing that the household will be cut off. Unless someone can guess the story based on what they eat and what they are in season.
However, when I think of what happened here, I don't even know about the neighboring towns and villages, and I'm afraid I won't spread the word.
Zhongli let out a long sigh. raised his head and looked at the purple flower on his head with blazing eyes, "A few people die every year, and they are all in a terrible state, and it is strange that this village does not report to the officials." ā
Hua Tian nodded, extremely strange. However, it is poor and backward. I don't necessarily have this realization. It is even possible that seeing someone die suddenly and tragically, which has created a taboo. But as soon as this idea came out, Hua Tian denied it again. If it's really taboo. How can you stop the funeral?
Zhong Liche thought that this question could be asked to the people in the village at any time, but he didn't bother much. He looked at Jinghua for a while and asked Hua Tian, "Tian'er." How did you know that this flower would be poisoned if eaten with fish? ā
"I've read a lot of miscellaneous books before, and I don't remember any of them that said 'Jinghua commits carp'. I heard you say that the title of 'love flower' in Jingzhong. I felt strange, and after thinking about it for a while, I connected. ā
Hua Tian had already finished the draft, so Zhong Li asked. Then he spoke softly.
Her appearance is very normal, and she has only used a guessing tone all the way, so she is not worried that Zhongli will not believe it.
As for her rebirth. In her previous life, she knew that "Jinghua committed carp", and she would never reveal it to anyone!
Zhong Liche himself had no doubts about Hua Tian. No matter what she did, he took it for granted, so although he was witty, he couldn't guess that Hua Tian was lying about it.
Listening to the bitter weeping in the room, he muttered, "Jinghua is a carp ......" I don't know where to think of it.
This wooden stool was not easy to sit on, Hua Tian felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while, so he leaned on Zhongli's body.
Zhong Li Che was still thinking about things, and felt the familiar body leaning towards him, so he reached out to wrap it around it, making the soft body more comfortable.
A white cloud obscured the sun in the sky, and most of the village was shrouded in it, turning into a cloudy sky.
The heat plummeted, and Hua Tian gradually became drowsy.
When she woke up, she found herself under a big tree by the pool, and the surroundings were quiet and cool.
"Awake?" As soon as Hua Tian moved, Zhong Liche knew.
Hua Tian wanted to sit up, only then did he find that he was being held in Zhongli Che's arms, no wonder he slept so comfortably.
Zhong Li Che helped Hua Tian sit up, let her sit beside him, and took out a bamboo tube and handed it over, "Drink some water first." ā
It was indeed thirsty, Hua Tian didn't say much, took the bamboo tube and drank it.
"I've thought of a good way to deal with King Shen." Zhong Li Che waited for Hua Tian to finish drinking the water and said slowly.
Hua Tian was stunned, Zhong Liche had never mentioned this method for so many days, how could he come up with it?
With a thought in her mind, she suddenly asked, "But the thorn flower is a carp?" ā
Zhong Li Che hugged Hua Tian and kissed her on the face, then smiled, "That's right, that's the way." But I came up with this idea, and I just used it. ā
"I didn't think about this for a while, but you still have a good brain." Hua Tian said with a smile.
The environment here is quiet and very cool, and the two have been in love until the sun is about to set, and then they leave to return to the village.
When I returned to the village, I saw that the old man was looking at the entrance of the village, looking anxious and panicked.
Hua Tian and Zhong Liche stepped forward, and the old man came over to greet him, saying that he had already notified the people in the village and was waiting for the two of them to pass.
The two of them followed and explained the phrase "wattle flower committing carp", saying that if the petals of the wattle flower fall on the fish soup or any fish-related dish, it will produce deadly poison.
Of course, in order to prevent the villagers from believing it, Hua Tian made a real yĆ n out of livestock, and saw a fierce earth dog eat the fish flesh floating with wattle flowers, and then fell to the ground and convulsed, bleeding to death.
Immediately, someone shouted, "That's it, Eleven Lang was so miserable that night, and he died soon!" ā
"Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes." Another villager shouted.
Just as some villagers were shouting, a grief-stricken cry was heard from the crowd, it was the families who had died in their loved ones!
The villagers listened to this mourning and thought that the person they usually got along with had died, and they were also saddened.
After the crying stopped, many villagers asked to cut down all the wattle flowers in the village!
Because of such a tragedy, the people in the village had an extreme fear of Jinghua, and as soon as someone mentioned it, many people seconded it.
In their minds, the wattle has become a deadly poison, and people who touch it will die, not eat it with fish.
Hua Tian and Zhong Liche listened to the villagers' discussions, and said that Jinghua was heinous and had to come out to explain. Vitex itself is not poisonous, but only when eaten with fish will produce a deadly poison.
If you eat fish in the future, don't get it on the vitex flowers. But if it's a concern. Then he cut down all the thorns in the garden. As for the area around the village, it can also be kept.
But the villagers thought that there were always a few people dying on this wattle every year, and they hated the wattle flower to the core, so they were willing to listen. They are determined to cut down all the wattles before they give up.
The slightly more rational Lizheng also supports the removal of all the wattles in the village.
What they mean is that if the wind is strong, blow the wattle into the house. Isn't it meant to kill someone? So it's right to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Hua Tian and Zhong Li saw this. I didn't persuade anymore, and when I saw that Li Zheng was calmer, I asked why I never reported the case to the government.
There is a shame on the front. Tell me why.
It turns out that in summer, the summer flowers are all blooming except for the lotus, and only this thorn flower is still blooming elegantly. The land in the village is barren. The paddy fields are not excellent, and there are not many harvests per season. has always been extremely poor, and can only rely on those thorn flowers to attract one or two people to enjoy the scenery and get some money.
Although the income is not huge, it is still an income after all. If it's the season every year. It is rumored that someone in the village has been poisoned and died, where does anyone dare to come to enjoy the scenery?
So the village kept things under wraps, and every year someone died tragically. is still mourning normally, pretending to be a normal death.
So many years down. Every year people die, the people in the village are also panicked, and secretly ask the mother-in-law in the village to divinate the divination, and the mother-in-law said that the village is cursed, and one or two people die every summer to let the He clan continue.
Therefore, the people of the village were panicked and numb, and gradually they only gritted their teeth and endured this curse, hoping that one day God would open their eyes and relieve this curse.
The reason why there is no poisoning from other villages is because those who come here just want to try the game in the mountains, and it is not uncommon for fish to be found everywhere.
Hua Tian and Zhong Li Che entered the village and asked the old man, who was willing to say it, but because two of his loved ones died at once, his heart was so sad that he couldn't hide it anymore.
No matter how numb they are, it will be heartbreaking to face the death of their loved ones.
When Hua Tian and Zhong Liche went to rest by the waterhole, the old man told the villagers what they said, and the people in the village were suspicious. They were worried that if someone from another village knew about it, it would leak out, and no one would come to the village to enjoy the flowers.
However, Zhong Liche's previous questioning touched on the truth, and it was true that several people died tragically every summer, which made the village decide not to hide it anymore.
After listening to the reasons of the people in the village, Hua Tian and Zhong Liche couldn't help but sweep their eyes over the villagers, and saw that most of the people in the village were skinny, and the children were also yellow and thin, and only one or two were better.
The two glanced at each other, and Hua Tian spoke, "If you cut down all the wattle flowers in the village and lose a livelihood, how can you do it?" ā
Li Zheng smiled bitterly, "This place is barren, but it is very difficult to think about it again. However, it is better to work harder than to watch your loved ones die one by one. ā
After hearing this, the villagers all echoed in unison.
Hua Tian saw that when the people in this village talked about the hardships in the future, no one had the intention of retreating, and he felt some admiration and some astringency in his heart.
Zhong Li saw that Hua Tian's eyes couldn't bear it, so he tightened his clenched hand, saying that he would support whatever decision she made.
Hua Tian looked back at Zhong Liche, knew what he meant, looked at each other and smiled, thinking of the environment around this village, and quickly had an idea in his heart.
"I have an idea, I don't know if to talk about it." She pondered for a moment and spoke.
When everyone saw this young couple, they all thought that it must be the man who was the one who made the decision, but who knew that this woman had spoken many times, and they were extremely surprised.
Seeing this, Zhong Li Che didn't have any psychological burden, he smiled and said, "Clumsy Jing has a pure temperament, often helps others, and has some experience, so she is in charge of these things." ā
It turns out that you often do good deeds to help others, so you have learned from this experience?
When everyone heard this, they admired Hua Tian very much.
Hua Tian glanced at Zhong Liche, and saw that his expression and the emotions in his eyes were extremely sincere, and he didn't seem to be a lie at all, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Speaking of the quality next to her, she may be able to find one or two, and when it comes to this pure nature, Hua Tian himself is panicked.
However, Zhong Liche said that she would not lose face, and she made a look of shame on her face at the moment, "But it's nothing." ā
After that, he said what he thought.
In a large neighboring town, there is a good church. Hua Tian's plan was to let the people in the village who were able to work come to Yishantang to help, and then exchange them for peach tree seedlings and plant them on this barren mountainous land.
Peach blossoms can be used as a place to enjoy the scenery in spring, and when the peaches are ripe, they can be picked and sold. In this way, there are at least two sources of income.
Listening to Hua Tian's plan, Li Zheng and several clan elders all had their eyes shining, but they soon dimmed again.
"We have also heard of the Yishan Hall set up by the Huajia in Qingzhou, but there are many people who are much more difficult than us, first, we go, Yishantang may not be willing to help us, and secondly, we are not good at occupying the quota of people with more miserable backgrounds."
Hearing Li Zheng's words, Hua Tian and Zhong Li were a little surprised.
Since they heard that in order to attract tourists, the village concealed the violent death of the villagers - although it was characterized as a curse, but it was not necessarily a gentleman to hide it for money, and both of them had some disdain for the integrity of the village.
Of course, the two of them think that they are not good people, but although they are not good people, they can live a nourishing life by relying on upright means. Therefore, if you want to help people, you must help people who are in harmony or good.
Neither of these villages fits, but there are so many people in the whole village, as well as young children, and the two of them are still moved by compassion and plan to help them. Of course, this help is not for nothing, but for them to exchange for labor.
Now that they are saying such a thing, it makes people look at them impressively.
Glancing at each other, Hua Tian continued, "Don't worry about this matter, my husband will repair a book, and you will know how to do it if you take it to Yishan Hall and show it to the person in charge." ā
When Li Zheng and the others heard this, they were all surprised, and they looked at Hua Tian and Zhong Liche with gratitude.
Zhong Liche had a blank face and said coldly, "However, although we help each other, we are just pulling the strings." If you are lazy or cheating, the Church will never help you. ā
Li Zheng and several clan elders stood up and said sincerely, "If the two of you are willing to help, we will never cheat!" ā
Zhong Li Che listened, and did not give up, and said many requests with a cold face, and saw that Li Zheng and the others nodded in agreement, so he didn't speak again.
Soon the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready, Zhong Li Che repaired a book, wrote down the facts, and took the ink in Hua Tian's hand, pressed the ink at the place where the money was made, and when it was dry, he folded the letter and handed it to Li Zheng.
"You have to cut down wattles, and you have to work with the farms, and you can't do it at once. When the staff is free, I will go when I have it. But the ugly words are ahead, if you can't persevere, it's better not to go! ā
"Two benefactors, but rest assured, we will persevere!" Li Zheng said seriously. (To be continued) R580
